Gentleman's Night Canteen

This seemed nothing to him, but as soon as the words came out of his mouth, several eyes immediately focused on him.

Eri Sawamura, who was farthest away from him, couldn't help but glance at Lan Meng. It was obvious that she had regarded Merlin as a "bad college student who invited students to drink with bad intentions", and she was trying to ask Lan Meng for help.

Seeing this, Lan Meng had to explain something for the other party.

"Merlin's country has no restrictions on drinking alcohol, and children are allowed to drink."

There is no need to explain too much, because one sentence is enough, but the way Sawamura Eriri looked at Meilin was still a little subtle. After all, in her opinion, even if the minors in Meilin's hometown were allowed to drink, but an adult male took the initiative to show courteousness There must be some purpose.

Facing Eri Sawamura's less obvious but still vigilant expression, although Merlin still smiled and didn't seem to care, in fact he was in a very delicate mood.

Sure enough, I don't understand the girl's thinking. Why did the other party ask Lan Meng to drink consciously, but he invited the other party to drink but was regarded as a bad person?

Obviously he and Lan Meng are walking on the street, and the other looks more dangerous, okay?

Merlin's mood was very subtle, but Severus Snape on the other side didn't pay attention to the reactions of the people behind him at all. After all, he came to this small restaurant hidden in the corner of Diagon Alley instead of going to himself. The shop he often goes to is purely because he hopes to find a place where no one knows him and stay alone for a while.

Now the other customers in the store are gathering together, and leaving him curled up in a corner alone to lick his wounds can be said to be what he wants.

Thinking of what happened a few days ago, he felt a dull pain in his heart, even more painful than the wounds on his body caused by those bastards. After all, the pain in his body could be treated with potions, but it seemed to come from the tearing of the soul. The feeling is hard for him to touch.

Depressed, he couldn't help but took a sip from the beer glass in front of him.

As soon as the sweet creamy foam touched his lips, he couldn't help but frowned slightly, because the butter beer made by Lan Meng was not the same as the butter beer he remembered, it seemed to have a stronger alcohol taste?

Because of Hogwarts, butter beer is a very popular drink in the British wizarding world. Naturally, it is also the first choice of many young wizards. Therefore, after generations of improvements, the alcohol concentration of butter beer is already very low, at least ordinary small beer Wizards can also drink it as a drink.

But Blue Dream is made entirely with fresh beer. Considering that the brewer is Ai Lumao serving hunters, the original alcohol concentration is slightly higher than normal beer, and the alcohol concentration of the 'butter beer' made with it is naturally the same. Much higher than normal 'butter beer'.

If it was in the past, he would never drink this kind of butter beer with higher concentration. After all, as a person who has never really lost his mind except the first two days, he actually doesn't like the feeling of being unable to control himself after being drunk , but...forget about today.

Anyway, he was going to vent.

Thinking this way, he also raised his glass high and drank it down after a brief pause.

"Gudong~Gudong~"

"Crack~"

After taking several sips in a heroic posture that didn't match his appearance, the result was that the foam made to imitate the foam of wine stuck to his mouth directly, and the butterbeer that hadn't been swallowed was even along the corners of his mouth. fell two places.

But he, who is usually meticulous, turned a blind eye to this, and just took another sip after a short pause.

In just a short while, it is convenient to fill a large cup of butter beer directly.

"Boss! Please give me another drink!"

I don't know whether it's because of the memories of drinking, or the stimulation of alcohol. At this time, Snape's voice unconsciously became higher when he spoke, and the other side just came to Ying Lili and the other side. Meng was unconsciously stunned for a moment.

Although the wine glass he prepared for that guest was not the large 2.5L drinking glass he used in the star stronghold, but the capacity close to 1.5L is not a small challenge for ordinary people, but he did not expect this time The customer seemed to drink it after a few sips after opening it, something was wrong...

Chapter 36 Drinking alone is boring, how about…together?

In fact, not only Lan Meng noticed the strange reaction on the other side, but other people present also noticed it. After Lan Meng gestured for himself to go over and have a look, everyone naturally nodded.

When he came to the table, what Lan Meng saw at a glance was the 'butter beer' that had been drunk. As for the French fries he gave to the other party, he didn't move, Lan Meng couldn't help frowning.

Of course, Lan Meng was not angry because the other party didn't eat the French fries he made, but rather cared about the other party's attitude.

Liquor, a very special indulgence, people who like it say it is agar liquid, but those who hate it will not touch it.

As for Lan Meng, it belongs to the middle value and prefers some. Although I don’t usually drink, but when I meet the right opportunity, or when I’m in a good mood, I will pour a couple of glasses, but I seldom get drunk. Enjoy a little drunk.

And the young man in front of him undoubtedly does not belong to this type. The other party is drinking purely for the sake of drinking. For the other party, drinking is not enjoyment at all, but like a kind of self-punishment.

But... Lan Meng is not easy to stop the other party, because sometimes people drink purely to vent, at least Lan Meng does not intend to stop the other party before the other party is drunk.

"boss?"

Snape didn't know what Lan Meng was about, he was just a little confused about why Lan Meng didn't help him add wine, and Lan Meng knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, and the other party was not drunk yet, So he simply served another cup for the other party directly.

When Lan Meng came back, everyone had different expressions.

Everyone didn't like Snape's aggressive behavior before, but now seeing the other party getting drunk during the day, everyone couldn't say much.

However, when the other party asked Lan Meng to fill a glass for him for the third time, everyone's expressions became a little subtle. After all, Lan Meng is a 1.5L wine glass, even if part of it is creamy foam, but the other party will not drink the four glasses. After drinking close to 5L of beer, the other party's kidney...is it that good?

Lan Meng couldn't help but start to worry about the other party.

But when Lan Meng was hesitating, Merlin who was sitting beside him suddenly got up and walked towards Snape.

"Brother, it's quite enjoyable to see you drinking and drinking. I suddenly want to have a drink too, but it's boring to drink alone. Why don't we have a drink together?"

At this time, Merlin didn't seem to notice that the other party was depressed at this time, and invited the other party to drink with a smile.

Facing Merlin's invitation, Snape hesitated for a short time...or rather, his brain paralyzed by alcohol worked briefly and then simply nodded.

He came here today just to drink, to get himself drunk, it doesn't matter whether he drinks alone or with other people.

Seeing this, Merlin also smiled and helped the other party pick up the small plate on the table and returned to the bar, while Snape sat beside Merlin very directly.

"Lanmeng, give me a cup of this 'butter beer' too, I want to try it."

Everyone was a little surprised that Merlin suddenly invited Snape, but no one stopped him. After all, the other party had been drinking in silence before. friction.

Several people present have different personalities, but the same thing is that they will help those in need within the scope of their ability.

Emiya Shirou and Emiya Kiritsugu looked at each other, obviously they both saw what Merlin meant.

Merlin should have seen Lan Meng's thoughts, so he planned to help Lan Meng solve the other party.

Out of gratitude to Lan Meng, not only did they not stop them, they even spoke together at the same time.

"In this case, give us a drink too. To be honest, I'm also quite curious."

Although Lan Meng, who probably guessed the plan of the three, had a helpless expression on his face, as if saying 'no need', but in fact the slightly raised eyebrows were enough to show that he was in a good mood at this time.

"Then I too..."

"Crack~~"

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Eri Sawamura, who was planning to wait for an opportunity to have a drink, hadn't finished speaking before a cup full of juice was placed in front of her, and Eiri Sawamura suddenly looked like a leaky balloon Lying on the bar counter.

Lan Meng directly chose to turn a blind eye to this, while the others smiled.

Although everyone was thinking about the same thing at this time, perhaps because they were afraid of being too abrupt, they didn't talk to Snape directly, but continued to talk about some 'interesting things' they encountered as before.

Emiya Shiro complained that he helped the local guerrillas to defeat the foreign invaders. The "marching pot" made of the other party's cans was very popular with the locals, and it tended to become a fixed local delicacy. Emiya Shiro of "Soul" feels very subtle;

As for Emiya Kiritsugu, he talked about some of his earlier time to collect the magic ritual of the "Holy Grail War", and then he planned to come back after connecting with intelligence dealers. Because what he was doing was illegal, so he was doing some more dangerous things. Sometimes he will stay away from people, but if he is doing something less dangerous, he likes public transportation, because it can help him quickly get rid of his pursuers.

However, the bus in the UK was a trap for him, and he was almost made dumplings by the magician who chased him down. In the end, he had to jump off the bus.

Because although the bus there is cheap, but because it drives too slowly, theoretically riding a bicycle is more efficient than it.

As for Merlin, he talked about some things about his adventures with Artoria. After all, he recently helped Lan Meng go to Avalon to steal %...picking fruits in exchange for Artoria's food expenses, or helping to save some Carmelo's domestic affairs.

It is impossible for him to say that the former involves Avalon, and it is even more impossible for him to say that the latter is related to domestic secrets. In the end, he has to choose the previous story, but fortunately, they are always a troublemaker when they travel. With the other two troublemakers, all kinds of troubles are indispensable during the adventure journey.

Merlin may seem unreliable, but the storytelling is top-notch, and even Snape who is on the side can't help but be attracted by it.

And after he finished telling his story, he also looked directly at Snape at the side.

As for why Sawamura Eriri was skipped?

It's not that he is not interested in the other party, but because Ying Lili has been writing hard for a long time at this time, and he feels too embarrassed to disturb the other party, so he simply shifted the topic to the most important target.

At this moment, Snape's cheeks were slightly flushed, his eyes narrowed occasionally, and he looked a little confused.

It seemed that it was precisely because of this that he did not refuse Merlin's invitation, but instead spoke again after a brief silence.

"I've been at Hogwarts all the time, and I'm not like those adventurous... no, I'm a stupid lion who likes to die, so there's nothing to say, but occasionally there is a good person among those stupid lions... ..."

At first, it was just a simple complaint, but as he talked, he didn't know why Snape remembered a pair of emerald green eyes, and the topic began to tilt unconsciously...

Chapter 37 Names That Keep Coming Up

Snape is a person who doesn't like to expose, or is not good at expressing his emotions.

In the impression of most people in Hogwarts, the other party is a 'standard Slytherin'.

Ambition, reputation, arrogance, and some of the 'serpent-like viciousness' that Gryffindor secretly swears about.

In fact, this impression is not limited to strangers, even some professors who admire him can feel the pride under his youthful face.

But there are also very few people who can see his other side.

A strong thirst for knowledge and a fragile heart with a cold appearance.

His life experience was very unfortunate. His father was a Muggle, and the other party had a violent personality. When Snape was young, he abused him and his mother. Although his mother was originally ugly, she was also an ordinary mother. , but because of his father, he became surly.

His unfortunate life experience made him learn how to use 'spikes' to protect himself.

But it is precisely because of this that if someone can step over the cold spikes he used to protect himself and truly walk into his heart, then he can also gain his unreserved heart.

He had always thought that such a person would never appear, but fortunately and unfortunately, such a person did appear.

"She is the smartest person of her age I have ever seen. Other idiots often can't keep up with my thinking when brewing potions, but she is the only one who can not only keep up with me, but also communicate with me. Not only that, she and other People are different, and we don't judge people by their appearance..."

Although Snape's voice was still deep, the few people on the side were keenly aware that the other party's words seemed to be a little confused. It was obvious that alcohol was affecting the other party's ability to think.

But after everyone noticed this, they just threw it behind because they found something more interesting.

Originally, everyone was just talking about things related to themselves, but Snape habitually complained about Gryffindor, but for some reason he remembered the girl who also belonged to Gryffindor, so his words were also Gradually crooked, has changed from 'things related to myself' to 'things related to that girl'.

Even if he is more cautious, he just intersperses the other party's existence in his own story, but who is not a human being present?

A man who single-handedly led to the change of the kingdom, a magician killer who is good at analyzing information, a man who has experienced countless ups and downs in life and sees through life... By the way, there is also a girl who pays more attention to the relationship between men and women because she draws books. .

Although the style of the last person's painting was a little strange, the same thing was that they were all keenly aware of a name that gradually and frequently appeared in Snape's words ----- Lily Evans.

After everyone looked at each other, they also found that the others had reached similar conclusions as themselves.

This gloomy-looking young man should be trapped by love, but I don’t know if it’s because the person he likes got married recently... No, judging by the age of the other party, he shouldn’t get married, so could it be that he just got his girlfriend robbed?Not right, maybe he dared not confess?But listening to the other party's story, it seems that the other protagonist has known each other since they were very young, so could it be the neighbor's sister?

Similar to the big sister who has a crush on her for a long time and suddenly introduces herself to a strange man?

As a book artist and a book artist who often draws strange plots, Eiri Sawamura couldn't help thinking of some strange plots, but soon she couldn't help shaking her head.

'wrong!wrong!Although the gameplay of O Medicine Chef X Blonde Female Knight I drew recently is rather peculiar, the plot is pure love!I am now a pure love painter! '

Although Sawamura Eriri worked hard to control her overly divergent thinking, if Snape knew the story of the other party's brain supplement, maybe he would directly send "eating a big melon" to her now.

Fortunately, at this time, with the butter beer in his hand, the other party was completely immersed in memories.

Even because he was immersed in his memory, he unconsciously forgot to hide it when telling his own story, and that 'Lily Evans' appeared more and more frequently.

------

There is a strange chain of discrimination in the world of wizards. Pure blood wizards discriminate against half-blood wizards, and half-blood wizards discriminate against Muggle wizards.

And this kind of discrimination chain has developed to its peak because of the appearance of the second-generation Dark Lord.

In this case, Slytherin, which has always been the base camp of pure-blood wizards, has become more and more delicate in Hogwarts, because many pure-bloods eventually joined the 'Death Eaters' created by the second-generation Dark Lord, This also caused their descendants to be naturally inclined to 'Death Eaters', and under this atmosphere, even some pure-blood wizards who were not interested in them were affected and gradually became curious and even close to them.

In this case, the students of Slytherin are also privately referred to as 'Death Eaters Reserves' by some who ignore them.

Generally speaking, in this kind of organization that advocates the theory of blood, the leader may not always be the strongest, but he is definitely the one with the most noble blood. However, in that era, there was a very special Slytherin student—— ——Severus Snape.

As a half-blood wizard, he has defeated countless pure-blood students. Even though the other party has never competed for the dominance of Slytherin, the powerful strength makes the leaders of Slytherin always unconsciously care about the other party's opinions.

Because there are rumors that the other party is not only talented in potions, but also extremely good at black magic. There are even rumors that no student in the entire school can defeat him if he uses black magic in a one-on-one situation.

The reason for the emphasis on one-on-one is because Gryffindor has a group with which he has severe friction.

The friction between the two parties has continued for 5 years since they entered school, and many people even believe that this friction will continue until the two graduate. It is not surprising that one of them will join the 'Death Eaters', while the other A group of people will become 'Aurors', continuing the fighting in their school days until one side is completely wiped out.

But what no one knows is that there is actually an extremely delicate balance between the two warring parties.

This balance point makes both parties to play out their brains even in private, but at least maintain the most basic bottom line----their lives.

Especially for Snape who held the murder weapon.

Unlike ordinary wizards who followed the rules, Snape, who had already started to practice black magic, might not win if he started a death fight with those Gryffindors, but none of those guys would survive.

Poisoning by potion, sneak attack by black magic...

There are countless means he can use, but in order to protect the last piece of pure land in his heart, he has never crossed that line.

But no one thought that the upheaval would be so sudden. What happened a few days ago during the OWLs exam period completely destroyed this fragile balance.

Thinking of this, the expression of Sleep who was talking here became gloomy and sad...

Chapter 38 'The Fuchsia' and the 'Cutting Curse'

About Snape and Gryffindor... or more accurately, the battle between the small group of "Predators" headed by 'James Potter', anyone who has lived in Hogwarts for a while knows a little bit two.
