Chapter 601 Conversation in the Izakaya

"Boss, give me another bottle of wine."

"Guest, you've drunk enough. You've been drinking since the afternoon, and something will happen to your body."

"Isn't it enough to give money? So much nonsense!"

"Okay, okay, I'll get you another bottle."

This conversation was between the owner of an izakaya in Tokyo and the customers. At this time, there were not many customers in the store, only three or two, and one of the customers seemed out of place with the others.

Under the slightly messy bangs were a pair of obviously drunk and lifeless eyes, because of being drunk, a touch of blush appeared on his dark face.

The man held the wine bottle in one hand, and took a big gulp from time to time. As soon as he took in the slightly bitter wine, the expression on his face suddenly twisted. After holding back for a while, he still swallowed the wine.

This situation lasted for a long time, the color of the sky outside changed from light blue to dark blue, and the twinkling stars hung in the sky emitting a faint light.

"Guest, your wine." The owner of the izakaya put a bottle of juice in front of the man and persuaded him, "You really can't drink any more. If something happens, I can't afford to pay for this small business."

"Boss, you are really long-winded. If something happens to me, I will definitely not implicate you."

Compared to before, the man seemed more drunk, so the movements of his hands became extremely sluggish. Fortunately, the boss had already lifted the bottle cap, otherwise he might not be able to open it for half a day with his current state.

"Eh? Why is this wine so sweet? Boss, did you take it by mistake?" The man closed one eye and looked inside the bottle, "Why does it look like juice?"

"It's just another kind of wine. The one you drank before has already been consumed by you." Obviously, this is not the first time the owner of the izakaya has encountered this situation, and he replied very deftly, "It's not bitter, but the alcohol content is not as high as It was lower than before."

Because he was already drunk, the man didn't doubt it, so he took another sip and said, "Don't say it... This wine is much better than the one just now."

"That's not true." Seeing that the man didn't notice, the izakaya heaved a sigh of relief. I've seen people who wanted to get drunk before, but I haven't seen this kind of people who drink to death.

Fortunately, he prepared this juice in the store, which smelled slightly alcoholic, but it didn't contain alcohol at all. The consequence of drinking too much was just going to the toilet a few more times, which was much better than alcoholism.

The guest in front of him has been drinking at his place since the afternoon, and he hasn't stopped drinking for a moment. Except for going to the toilet, his butt has never left the stool.

"Boss, what will you do if your wife betrays you?"

The question suddenly raised by the man silenced the single izakaya owner who was only in his 20s.

The premise for a wife to betray herself is to have a wife, but he didn't
It was really embarrassing for him who had never been in a relationship to answer this question.

But the moment he heard this question, the boss knew that the man in front of him might be an infatuated kind. It must be because his wife betrayed him, so he got drunk in the shop.

As if sensing the boss's sympathetic eyes, the man waved his hand and said, "It's not me, it's my friend..."

Well, now they are making friends out of thin air.

The boss shook his head helplessly. He really wanted to ask, "The friend you mentioned is you, right?"

However, seeing the man's current state, he forcibly resisted the urge to ask questions. If it was because of him that the man's emotions broke down, it would be a serious crime.

"If it was me, then I would have a good talk with my wife." The boss was going to enlighten the man in front of him, lest he turn around and do something crazy because he was drunk.

He didn't want to read in the newspaper one morning that a body had been found somewhere.

The man poured a big gulp into his mouth, the "wine" in his mouth was sweet, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was full of bitterness: "But she betrayed her, can you still have a good talk with her?"

"Grandma once said that a couple of days is a hundred days of kindness, and a hundred days of a couple is like the depths of the sea."

While cleaning the table, the boss said, "Grandma also said that if you cultivate for a hundred years, you can cross the same boat, and if you cultivate for a thousand years, you can sleep together."

"Even if she betrays her, it won't erase the good memories the two spent together before."

"If she denies the past because she betrayed her, wouldn't that seem a little heartless?"

The man suddenly laughed after hearing these words: "You haven't experienced it, so you don't understand, she betrayed me, why are you talking about affection, it's her who is heartless! It's her!"

Well, now there are no friends out of thin air.

"Hey, it's true that she is unfeeling, but the two of them can resolve it with good words. Why do they have to fight to the death? Of course, you are right."

The boss stopped what he was doing and continued, "But since she betrayed her, then forget about her. Why cry because of someone who doesn't care about you, or get drunk, or even seek death?"

"I see that you are quite young, and you have many good days. Why do you have to hang yourself on a tree with a crooked neck?"

Of course he knew that this was easier said than done. When encountering such a thing, normal people would lose control of their emotions, but this kind of talk is not suitable for people who are already drunk and unconscious.

Otherwise, it will be too late if this man does something to hurt his wife.

But what the boss didn't know was that the man had already finished the job.

"What you said is also reasonable. Since he has no feelings for me, why should I cry for her and buy her drunk." The man's bitter smile was mixed with self-deprecating, "You said... am I guilty. Cheap?"

The boss comforted: "That's because you value friendship, and I don't blame you."

"I work hard to make money outside every day, and I don't have time to stop and rest. Isn't it because of them?"

The man suddenly said to himself, "I wanted to make enough money to retire early and spend a good time with her, just like she was with me back then, but she actually betrayed me."

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, the boss had some vague guesses in his heart.

Obviously, the man in front of him didn't go home much for a year to make money, so his wife betrayed him, and he ended up looking for a place to get drunk.

Coincidentally, the place where the man gets drunk is his izakaya.

"You don't usually accompany her much, do you?"

The boss carefully observed the man's expression, and said cautiously, "If the two of them really have feelings, then most women will hope that their husbands can always be by their side. Things like money are enough for them."

"Is this still my fault?"

Seeing the change in the man's expression, the boss quickly said: "Of course not, both of you are right, one wants to be with you, and the other wants to make money to make the other happy.

"Okay, it's not good for me to say so much as an outsider, you go back and think about it yourself." The boss looked at the time, continued to clean up the table, and said, "It's getting late now, I should close the door and go home. "

In fact, there are still several hours before the closing time. He closed the door early just to let the man go back and have a good talk with his wife, maybe it can save a relationship.

Anyway, there aren't many customers today, so it's a good deed to close the door earlier, and he can rest by the way.

The man didn't stay too long in the izakaya. Hearing the boss's order to evict him, he staggered out of the izakaya with the bottle of "wine".

The cool evening wind blew by, making him sober: "Go home? How can there be a home? I ruined it with my own hands, Tetsuya, he will hate me, right?"
