Chapter 189 - 84: Anti-Corruption Storm (Part 4)
The "Half-Day Leisure" Tavern, located on the Yuexi Peninsula, was modest in size, with only five or six tables and a bar counter. However, its simple yet elegant decor made it a perfect place to sip some sake and unwind.
Aotutaro took a sip of sake and picked up a golden-brown peanut, tossing it into his mouth with a satisfied expression.
"Alright, that’s enough. You’re acting like that peanut is some sort of gourmet delicacy," the bartender muttered impatiently while wiping down the bar.
The bartender was a strikingly beautiful woman with fair skin, her natural beauty shining even without makeup. Her appearance was further accentuated by the subtle reveal of her snow-white cleavage at the neckline—an alluring sight.
"Yui, do you know what I’m savoring? It’s not just the peanut; it’s this rare moment of relaxation, the feeling of enjoying life’s simple pleasures. For three years, I’ve been stuck dealing with those scumbags and parasites. It’s been nothing but disgust and nausea. Only here, in your tavern, can I feel at ease. And now, at last, it’s all over."
Aotutaro took another sip of sake and handed over a small scroll, his expression full of relief.
"You’re just glad you avoided becoming Rifutian’s brother-in-law, aren’t you?" Yui teased as she discreetly accepted the scroll.
"I won’t deny that," Aotutaro admitted with a nod.
"I heard that the Snow Velvet girl is quite the beauty in Sunagakure. Isn’t it a shame to pass up such an opportunity?"
Yui teased further.
"Alas, my 100-plus kilos have long been pledged to the village. Besides, what beauty could compare to you?" Aotutaro joked, his tone resembling that of a seasoned flirt.
