Chapter 258 Fiery Calista

It was six o'clock in the afternoon.

At the end of the thirteenth month, the sun has already set by this time.

After nightfall, "Fiery Kalista" does not begin to operate normally.

Before that, some guests who planned to settle their dinner here had already arrived before sunset.Except for a few passers-by who left after eating, more people decided to stay here and have a few drinks.

Warm lighting, a warm fireplace, the best food in the entire White Tower, a lively but not vulgar atmosphere, plus soft and soft voices - in the cold winter, there is nothing better than drinking two drinks here. Cup is more enjoyable.

Therefore, even if the consumption here is relatively high, many apprentice wizards, official wizards and even great wizards will come here for a while every day.After all, as long as you are a wizard, there is no shortage of money.

From time to time, new customers come in, and the dinner and drinks ordered by previous customers are about to be served. It is definitely not something that two waitresses on duty can handle.

And so it is.From 05:30 in the afternoon, other waiters also changed into formal and neat clothes one by one, and started to work.

Hot Calista isn't that big of a bar.Counting the two waiters at the door, a man and a woman, there are only seven or eight people in total.You know, almost all the waiters here are wizard apprentices.And the proprietress Calista is the mentor of the Confused Department...

... The bar where the boss brings his students to work, not to mention the White Tower, even if you look at the whole Farnes, it may be the only one.

Perhaps because of this, the guests here are different from other bars, very friendly.After all, among the people from outside, those who have time and money and can go to the second ring of the White Tower to drink through identity verification, there are basically no other people except mercenaries.

And apart from a few scattered waves of mercenaries every month, the guests here are wizards on weekdays.The circle of wizards is not too big, and they basically know each other, and they don't see each other when they look up, so naturally they don't play the temper of some alcoholics.

Even if you accidentally drink too much, you will be pulled by acquaintances.Coupled with the proprietress who is a great wizard, no one has ever come to make trouble here, and the harmony is not like a bar at all.

Except for some wizard apprentices who came to find friends to play with, of course, there were also some young and energetic wizards who came here specifically for the girl they liked.Every time at six or seven o'clock in the evening, when the atmosphere is not hot, that's when they favor girls.

"Lily, is Dinah off today?"

A blond-haired, blue-eyed young wizard with round glasses asked in a low voice to a short-haired waitress with some disappointment.

Lily froze for a moment when she heard the words, and her eyes lit up as she stared at the young wizard.

"Eh~"

Her voice was full of excitement, and she put her hands on the shoulders of the young wizard.The girl's unique fragrance made the young wizard's face turn red all of a sudden, and he immediately shifted his head to look to the side, not daring to stare at the girl's high breasts in front of him.

"Dinah? Soso, you really like Dinah, right?"

"Eh? Eh? No, wait for Lily to keep her voice down..."

"That's right! Soraya, just tell me, right? I can help you!"

Despite being warned by Zoroya to keep her voice down, Lily fell into overwhelming excitement.

Her big eyes shone like seeing a puppy with fleshy bones, and the child-like voice that always had a long tone became louder and louder: "Suo Suo, tell me, tell me, you are right What does Dinah think?"

"How to say it here..."

"You really like it, right? Right!"

"Wait! Lily, calm down!"

Lily's upper body leaned forward more and more, and finally almost pushed Sorolla down on the table.

The handsome young man who gave people the impression of a lemon did not dare to resist Lily at all.In order to avoid Lily's approaching face, his waist was bent back in an almost broken arc.

Even so, the fragrance from Lily's loose shoulder-length hair made his face full of trouble and embarrassment.

At this moment, the other wizards sitting beside Soroya were also booing and screaming incessantly.

Of course, the object of their booing is definitely not the cheerful and lively Lily, but Soraya who "suspectedly likes Dinah".

With beautiful long hair, Dinah, who is gentle and considerate, is very popular among apprentices.The point is, she also seemed to express her liking for Zoroya a few times.

"Of course this kind of thing can't be delayed! Soso, be more straightforward! The answer is as simple as that—you tell me yes or no, and I'll tell you where Dinah went!"

"Tsk...my word..."

"welcome--"

But just when Sorolla was about to say something with his face flushed, the door was suddenly opened amidst the cheers of the two waiters.

Even if it was only for a moment, the cold winter wind made people in the bar shiver and feel their brains refreshed.

"Tsk..."

Puffing her cheeks, she moved away from Sorolla who was about to speak, Lily shook her head, and greeted the newcomer with a refreshing smile.

"What do you want, guest?"

"A creamy soup, a vegetable salad, a fish masala, and two pancakes."

A clear and soft voice came from under the snow-covered hood.The person standing at the door shook his shiny black leather cloak to shake off the snow, and then hung the hooded coat casually at the door, revealing a loose long windbreaker inside.

As the coat was taken off, the long black and smooth hair that fell down first caught Lily's attention, and then the delicate face like a fairy that made her a little distracted.

It was a strange face that Lily had never seen before.If nothing else, it should be mercenaries from outside.

The long windbreaker whose hem can cover half of the thighs seems to be made of the skin of some demonized creature in the sea. Under Calista's soft yellow light, the dark and shiny windbreaker gleamed faintly.

The sleeves of the windbreaker were so long that they could cover half of the guest's palms; while her lower body was wearing tight black leather pants, emphasizing the slenderness of her legs.

Lily also saw that the guest had a delicate sky-blue short sword hanging from his waist, and a gray metal cane with a hollowed-out cross carved in his hand.

Compared with the actual function that the cane should have, the delicate body of the cane covered with silver plant vines feels like a work of art.

That's pretty neutral attire.

A handsome boy or a heroic girl—it can be said to be either side.

No matter which side it is, it is absolutely excellent.

But Lily stubbornly thought she was a girl.

"Guest, you are so beautiful..."

Lily praised sincerely.

Those gray pupils with a faint ice-blue pupil look as beautiful as jewels.Lily seemed to be able to see the beautiful silver light flashing in her eyes.

Those are very, very beautiful eyes.

Looking at the girl in black who seemed to be rubbing her hands with some coldness, Lily stepped forward with an inexplicable impulse in her heart, and grabbed the cold hands of the guest.

Even if she was as cheerful as Lily on weekdays, it was the first time that she had direct physical contact with a first-time person.

But inexplicably, Lily didn't violate the harmony at all.As if affected by the friendship technique, she only felt that the beautiful girl in front of her was very fond of her.

"Maybe I'm presumptuous in saying that, but..."

Lily's face was full of seriousness: "Can you make friends with me?"

However, when she saw the girl with beautiful and rare black hair, she was obviously taken aback.

She showed obvious hesitation.But under Lily's staring gaze, she finally nodded.

"awesome!"

Lily cheered, patted her chest and said her name: "My name is Lily! Lily Solanth Ketugya!"

"Cthugya? The Cthugya of Titan?"

The black-haired girl showed a surprised look: "Who is Alan to you?"

Lily's big blue eyes lit up all of a sudden, and she held the black-haired girl's hands together firmly: "It's my uncle...do you know Uncle Allen?"

"...Ah, I guess I know you. I'm more or less an acquaintance."

There was a subtle expression on the face of the black-haired girl.

"Hey—Lily!"

At this moment, Lily heard a young witch with a slanted ponytail yelling anxiously at her behind her: "Lily! This is so rude!"

"It's okay, it's okay! It's my acquaintance!"

Lily turned her head and shouted back with a carefree smile that seemed to hang on her face forever.

Then she turned her head around with a swipe, and continued to stare at the black-haired girl, her hands still holding hers tightly but not letting go.

"What about you, sister? What's your name?"

"I'm……"
