Li Yong, is that person in a pub?
Its not like I can pinpoint his exact whereabouts, but I have a general idea.
Li Yong readily confird Yui is speculations when she tried to probe. He ruminated on which alley they would start their attack.
Why a pub?
Yui i thought he would be frequenting a store that sold armour in the Outer City if he was part of the Imperial Guards, so she was taken aback when told that he might be in a bar.
However, now that she thought about it, Yang did describe him as a drunkard.
Did that an it wasnt a condescending statent, and that he was really a boozer?
Yui i, be more alert and look around for a drunk person. Were looking for a short, stocky, bearded, grim looking fellow.
Yui i scanned her surroundings under Li Yongs direction.
Wait, so its decided that were searching for a boozer?
Yui i was astounded, and she couldnt help but think Just how much of an alcoholic is he? as the two of them walked along the street, checking out every single pub they saw on their way.
She discovered that even the commoners drank good booze here, as expected of a capital city. The liquor available in the borderland was mostly watered down to the point that the level of ferntation was low. On the contrary, they could already sll the aroma of booze wafting from the pubs just by passing through.
Moreover, there were a lot of bars due to the large population of people living here.
Still, it was too early for dinner, and although the pubs were open, it wasnt the ti for drunkards to be loitering around the place.
The only drunk people at this point should be the ones who spend the whole day drinking, but they didnt find any of them brazenly wandering in the streets. After looking around for a while
he is here.
The sun was already setting by the ti Li Yong declared that he found the person they were looking for after peeking into a bar in the third alley that they scoured.
Welco.
Excuse us.
Please excuse us for the bother.
Li Yong and Yui i responded when the barkeeper greeted them as they entered the pub, then they headed towards the innermost seat.
There was a drunkard sprawled on the table.
He was exactly like how Li Yong described him a middle-aged, short, stocky, bearded, grim looking fellow with a red face and reeking of alcohol.
Lord Ming, please wake up, Lord Ming!
Ugh..
Li Yong tapped his shoulder several tis while calling his na. The man Ming groaned.
Hmm?
A few doubts crossed Yui is mind as she stared at Ming, but she decided to set those thoughts aside. He was lying down on his face, so she turned his head to the side for fear that he might get suffocated before going to the barkeeper to ask for so water.
She then placed the cup beside the half-asleep Ming.
Hello, excuse , Id like to have a word with you!
Thoughts of this is impossible crossed Yui is mind as she tried to wake him up by patting his back.
That person will not wake up just by doing that.
The barkeeper called out to Yui i and Li Yong, implying that theyre just wasting their ti.
He always sleeps through the night just like that until the gates close and he can no longer go ho.
The pub owner looked exasperated as he sighed.
In that case, then Ming must have spent the whole day either drinking or sleeping, then.
Heh, so she is right, he really is a boozer.
Yui i now understood why Yang was concerned about Ming.
Sorry for all the trouble.
Li Yong bowed his head towards the barkeeper.
True enough, a guest staying until morning would be a huge nuisance to the bar.
They wouldnt be able to close the bar after all.
No, they might just throw him out in front of the street when it was closing ti.
However, that in itself would already require a great deal of effort.
Yui i and Li Yong didnt have the luxury to wait until he naturally woke up.
What will we do?
We cant leave this as is. We wont be able to properly talk in this case. It cant be helped, we just have to carry him ho.
Li Yong concluded.
And so, Li Yong decided to pay for Mings booze money first, but apparently, he already paid in advance.
It was probably Mings consideration, because he knew he would forget to pay after drinking.
Oh, so in that aspect, hes admirable, huh.
Maybe there was a deeper reason why he was drinking, and not just because he loved booze.
In any case, Yui i tried to ease his drunkenness. She pinched his nose, and when he woke up in pain, she made him drink the water on the table by saying Lets drink so more, here you go, this is wine. She repeated that several tis.
Yui i, youre great at dealing with drunkards, huh.
You think so?
Yui i nonchalantly replied to Li Yongs admiring words.
She had been working as a nurse in a highly stressful workplace in her previous world. Back then, she also occasionally experienced drinking with a colleague who would overindulge in alcohol as a ans to vent out all that stress.
All her coworkers admired her skill of making her colleague drink water, even though that person clutched the bottle of alcohol tightly without any intention of letting go.
They left the pub, and Li Yong carried the man on his shoulders as they headed towards the Inner City. The man had a house there, apparently.
Inner City, huh.
Actually, it was the first ti that Yui i would set foot in the Inner City.
They were going there because they would bring this drunkard ho, but Yui i couldnt help but feel a little excited as she followed behind Li Yong.
