Chapter 15: The Drinks are on Me! On Me!!!
"Yare yare, that's not very sporting of you, little bro."
Suddenly, a fierce-looking, burly man sat down in front of Bai Luo.
"Sorry."
Bai Luo didn't back down in the slightest. "My Pon-Pon is so cute, I won't let any other man touch her besides me."
"Just a newbie, but you've got guts!"
The burly man wasn't interested in cute things; he was just here to greet the newcomer, Bai Luo.
"Two bubble sakes over here!"
"Your bubble sakes."
Soon, the waitress placed two glasses of bubble sake in front of the burly man and Bai Luo.
The burly man pushed one of the glasses toward Bai Luo. "Welcome to the adventurers!"
Just as Bai Luo had thought, the man meant no harm—he was just here to get to know him.
"Thanks."
Bai Luo didn't refuse; he chose to adapt to the rhythm of KonoSuba.
In this world, Bai Luo decided to play the role of a novice adventurer, and it was necessary to get along with the adventurers here.
Besides, after a month of traveling, it had been a long time since Bai Luo had a normal conversation with someone.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp~~"
Bai Luo downed the glass of bubble sake in one go, then slammed the empty glass heavily on the table.
"Thud!"
"Haah! Refreshing!"
Bai Luo wiped the foam from his mouth, thinking to himself that Aqua's favorite bubble sake was indeed delicious.
"How is it? Pretty good, right?"
The unnamed bald, burly adventurer said, "This is our Axel's specialty bubble sake!"
"It's indeed very good."
After Bai Luo finished speaking, the surrounding male adventurers gathered around and began to introduce themselves.
The adventurer circle in Axel was just this big.
The people here basically all knew each other.
Whenever a newcomer joined, they would befriend them. It was the same for Aqua and Kazuma in the original story.
"Miss Luna!"
Finally, after being treated to the third glass of bubble sake, Bai Luo couldn't sit still anymore.
He knew what these old-timers were up to.
It was nothing more than seeing that he had just received 3 million Eris and wanting him to treat them to a meal.
But Bai Luo didn't care!
A man, after all.
How could he fuss over such a small gain or loss?
Besides, these Eris were just a drop in the bucket for Bai Luo.
If Bai Luo wanted, he could get a hundred, a thousand such magic crystals.
"Today, the bubble sake is on the house!"
As Bai Luo spoke, he took out a few more gold nuggets with diluted magicules. "The drinks are on me! On me!!!"
"Ooh ooh ooh ooh!!!"
"Long live the newbie!!"
"Bai Luo! Bai Luo! Bai Luo!!"
"Hahahaha~~"
Carried away by this group of idiotic adventurers in the guild, Bai Luo also immersed himself in this unprecedentedly joyous atmosphere, starting to drink and chat with them.
Money flowed like water, but the stress accumulated from his travels also quickly dissipated.
"No, I can't... I can't drink anymore..."
"I... I've reached my limit, too."
"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle~~"
Inside the Adventurer's Guild, a group of burly men lay scattered all over the place. Only Bai Luo was still standing, downing the last mouthful of bubble sake.
"Heh."
Bai Luo casually tossed the wooden mug onto the mountain of wooden mugs, looked around, and sneered contemptuously, "A bunch of lightweights. Is that all you've got?!"
Unfortunately, the bald, burly man from the beginning had already passed out.
Otherwise, he would definitely have said, 'My apologies for not being able to let Lord Bai Luo have his fill.'
"Poni~~"
Seeing that things had quieted down over here, Ogerpon hopped over from the crowd of girls.
The little one was quite happy.
The young ladies here were not only good-looking but also very gentle, and they had ordered a lot of food for her.
Pokéblocks tasted good, but they couldn't provide the enjoyment of eating meat in large mouthfuls.
Ogerpon was a Grass-type Pokémon, a magical creature that could survive on just water and sunlight.
But she could also eat meat, and even digest fiber—that is, live on grass.
"Are you full?"
Bai Luo asked, "If not, you can order some more."
"Pon-Pon is full."
Ogerpon patted her bulging little belly, expressing her satisfaction. "Everyone gave Pon-Pon a lot of delicious food. Pon-Pon likes them!"
"That's good."
Bai Luo was very happy that Ogerpon could like this world.
When he took Ogerpon away from the Pokémon world, he had promised her that he would witness more and more beautiful scenery with her.
Putting aside the forest exploration in the Cardinal World for now, the beginner's town of Axel had indeed brought Ogerpon a lot of joy.
"Miss Luna."
"After deducting the cost of the bubble sake, Mr. Bai Luo has 2.4 million Eris left."
"Mm."
Before leaving the Adventurer's Guild, Bai Luo found Miss Luna and settled the previous bill. "You don't need to give me the change for the remaining Eris. Order some delicious food for the pretty young ladies."
"Of course, and for Miss Luna too."
Bai Luo waved to the crowd. "Today, it's my treat. Everyone, eat and drink as you please—don't be polite with me!"
The second batch of gold nuggets had been exchanged for a full 4 million.
After deducting the cost of the drinks, there was still 2.4 million left, which was more than enough to treat the remaining girls.
"Consider it a greeting gift from me as a newcomer."
Bai Luo said, "See you next time, Miss Luna, and everyone!"
"Bye-bye, Pon-Pon~~"
"Thank you for your hospitality, handsome little bro."
"Bye-bye~~"
Generous and handsome.
Bai Luo was not Satou Kazuma. In just a short while, he had won the favor of almost all the adventurers.
"Let's go, Pon-Pon."
"Poni!"
Leaving the Adventurer's Guild, Ogerpon and Bai Luo returned to the street. She curiously asked Bai Luo about their plans for later.
"Let's finish purchasing supplies in this world and then leave."
Bai Luo didn't plan to stay in the KonoSuba world. He still needed Ogerpon to increase her magicules by defeating monsters.
A spatial backpack, wood and stone materials, seasonings, vegetable monsters, fruit monsters, and various meats, as well as daily necessities, and so on.
It took a full half-day, until nightfall, for Bai Luo to complete this major shopping trip.
The original 3 million Eris was spent down to only 500,000, showing that the purchasing power of the Eris currency was not as high as Bai Luo had imagined.
"Please send two set meals to the room, thank you."
The two returned to the inn where they were staying. Bai Luo had the front desk send up food, then he lay back on the soft, large bed and let out a deep breath.
"Are you tired, Pon-Pon?"
"Not tired."
Ogerpon was also a little tired, but she tried not to show it. "Pon-Pon can still continue to work!"
"You don't have to force yourself."
Bai Luo stroked the little one's head with a hint of pity, then opened his arms and held her in his embrace.
"Poni~~"
Ogerpon really wasn't tired.
Being with Bai Luo, Ogerpon was happy no matter what she did.
"Get a good rest tonight. Tomorrow we'll go accept a subjugation quest."
"Are we going to fight?"
Ogerpon was eager to try. "Pon-Pon will do her best!"
"No, please don't!"
Bai Luo quickly exclaimed, "Your punch is already terrifying enough. If you do your best, I'm afraid you'll blow up Axel."
"Poni?"
"Hold back a little—try to use less force."
"Alright..."
Ogerpon listened to whatever Bai Luo said. Whatever he said, went.
