A Bar In An Alternate World: Pick Up A Young Witch - Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Ingredients Delivered to the Door

“Eh? When was the waitress a cute little girl” The man’s head in the headless knight’s hand said in shock.

“Forget it. Anyone is the same. Quickly, let me see your strength.”

Lanya quivered and quickly hid behind the bar counter.

With a bang, Elise slammed the shaker on the bar counter and leaped out like lightning.

Her sky-blue eyes were burning with anger. A powerful force gathered in her body, and tremendous waves of energy rushed out of her body, making her golden ponytail swing wildly. “Oh, oh, this sense of oppression is great. As expected of you. Come quickly,” The man’s eyes widened as he panted heavily.

Elise slowly raised her head, her right fist cracking as she breathed out hot air, “With this punch, I’ll make sure you can never step into this bar again.”

The headless knight puffed out her chest and said in a trembling voice, “Come on.”

All Lin Ge saw was a yellow flash, and Elise was already in front of the headless knight. Then followed a loud bang like a cannonball hitting its target, and the entire room shook. He heard the sound of wine bottles clattering behind him and quickly turned to check the wine cabinet. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that no wine bottles had fallen.

When he turned around again, the headless knight’s body had already spun and flown out of the door. The loud rumbling sounds continued to come from outside the door, gradually fading away before finally disappearing.

The headless knight’s head was still in the shop. The explosive power of the punch had sent the headless knight’s body flying at a speed that was far beyond the limits of what a lock of hair could withstand.

As a result, the headless knight’s slender hand only took away a lock of hair, and the man’s head was left to roll on the ground. His eyes were dull, and his consciousness was scattered, but the corners of his mouth were raised.

The skeleton maid, Carnie, ran in from the door, picked up the man’s head, and kept bowing and apologizing. Her slender and delicate ribs were exposed under the collar of her loose maid uniform.

“Sorry, so sorry for the trouble.”

Then, she held the man’s head and ran out in a hurry.

For a moment, no one spoke in the shop, and only Elise’s heavy breathing could be heard. Karina was the first to break the silence, “Elise, can you do it or not? I think he’s having a good time with your punch. I’m afraid he’ll come again.”

“If we want to defeat the headless knight, we have to find the head where her true soul power is hidden,” Lanya said softly, “Hitting his body is useless.”

“Why don’t you return the sword to him?” Lin Ge suggested.

Elise’s mouth twitched, but she didn’t say anything. She returned to the bar, picked up the shaker, and shook it violently as if she was going to burst it.

“Customer, your wine.”

Elise’s tone was stiff as she pushed a glass of bright red liquid to Karina. White bubbles floated on the surface of the glass, and a few drops of wine spilled out of the glass and landed on the bar counter. It gave off a pungent smell that made one want to cry just by smelling it.

Karina scratched her face and looked to the side, “I don’t feel like drinking all of a sudden, but don’t worry, I’ll pay. Ah, another customer is here, go and serve him.”

The soft sound of the wind chimes allowed Karina to successfully change the topic. Lanya walked out of the bar and prepared to welcome the guests. Elise also retracted her murderous gaze.

Lin Ge was hoping for a normal customer to come in.

The door opened automatically, and a round blue creature jumped in.

“Uh, a slime?”

“Ah, human!”

The blue, translucent slime bounced up from the ground and hit Lanya’s delicate knee, but it was rebound instead and bounced on the ground twice like jelly.

The door had closed automatically, and the blue slime, who had lost its way out, panicked and kept jumping on the ground, regretting entering into the strange door.

None of its kind in the valley believed it. To prove the existence of this door, it mustered up the courage to enter the door. It didn’t expect that there would be a human hiding behind this door.

To the slimes, humans were simply synonymous with demons.

The slime had heard that there were human dishes that used slime as the main ingredient. Thinking of this, it panicked even more. What should it do? Would it be used to make soup?

However, the humans in the shop only looked at it strangely and didn’t show any intention of attacking.

It trembled and begged for mercy, body rippling.

“Sob, spare me. Don’t use me as an ingredient.”

its slime However, it soon remembered that humans could not understand slime language, and it was afraid again.

At this moment, it heard the purple woman in front of it say, “What a cute slime. Don’t be afraid. We’re a bar, not a restaurant. We won’t use you as an ingredient. Besides, who would eat the dishes made with slime?” Hmm, was this human lady complimenting it for being cute? Wait, how could it understand human language?

But forget it. Since that was the case, it would just use this move to escape the fate of being used as an ingredient.

The slime jumped to Lanya’s feet and rubbed her calf affectionately like a kitten. Lanya laughed, “Stop rubbing against me. It’s so itchy.”

At the bar counter, Lin Ge stared at the blue slime at Lanya’s feet and recalled the recipes left behind in Ravid’s alchemy notes. Many of the recipes had slime liquid in them. According to the book “Biological Ingredients that Can be Used to Make Delicious Drinks” left by the fallen alchemist, water slime liquid had a cool and delicate taste, which could reduce the heat in one’s body. Drinking slime liquid often had the effect of detoxing and maintaining youth. The higher grade the slime, the better the taste.

Ravid ranked slimes according to their taste and purity, from D-grade to D-grade, with detailed descriptions for each grade. The higher the grade, the more transparent and beautiful the slime’s body would be, and the better the taste.

The water slime that had barged into the store had a crystal clear body without any impurities. It was definitely S-grade. “Lanya, bring the customer over.”

Upon hearing Lin Ge’s voice, Lanya, who was playing with the slime, turned around. “Can it drink too?”

“Since it’s here, it’s a customer. Bring it over,”

Lin Ge said with a smile.

“Oh.”

Although it was strange, Lanya still listened to Lin Ge. She picked up the blue slime and put it on the bar counter.

On the dark bar, the slime’s body shook slightly, feeling a little uneasy. It felt that the man in front of it was looking at it strangely. “How should I address you, Mr. Slime?”

“Umm… I’m a girl,” The slime said weakly. Its voice was soft and gentle, and it indeed did not sound male.

“Alright, may I know your name, miss slime?”

“Diluko.”

“What flavor of wine would you like, Miss Diluko?”

“What is wine?”

“Hehe, it’s a very popular drink among humans. After drinking it, you will feel happy.”

A hint of curiosity flashed in the slime’s dark blue eyes, and she was eager to try.

“But I don’t know anything about it.”

“What do you usually eat?” Lin Ge asked in a different way.

“Spring water, grass, and fruits that fell from the trees,” Diluko said after some thought. “That’s great. Wine is made from various plants, and can even be said to be the essence of plants. You’ll definitely like it. This bottle of Calvados is made from more than 30 types of apples and has been aged for 28 years. It is the best wine made from fruit. How about I use it to make you a cup of Honeyed Apples?”

“More than 30 types of apples? Su-sure!” One of her favorite foods was ripe apples that had fallen onto the grass. Her eyes immediately shone with excitement.

“Alright, please wait a moment. I’ll prepare it for you immediately.”

When he turned around to get the honey, Elise leaned over and whispered in his ear, “Hey, this slime doesn’t seem to have a single cent on her. Are you really going to make her a cocktail?”

Lin Ge smiled, “It’s okay, I’ll pay for it. Go prepare a cup of hot water at 60 °C. Remember, it can’t be too hot or too cold. It must be around 60 °C.”
