FAIRY ROMANTICA
“You’re lucky you made it to the night shift on time, or you’d be in trouble. Next time you decide to take a day off, let me know first! I have scheduling to think about, you know!”
“I’m sorry, Mama Mia!”
Lyu bowed her head apologetically to her employer and rushed into the busy bar, eager to make up for the trouble she’d caused in slipping away to help Bell in the Dungeon. She joined her fellow waitresses and got to work.
“Ho, elf. Thanks for your help today.”
A customer who just entered the shop called out to her. Lyu recognized who it was—Aisha Belka, known by many as Antianeira. The two had been working together just earlier that day on Bell’s request.
“Don’t worry,” she said, sitting down at a small, two-seat table. “I’m just here to drink. I got no intention of spilling the beans about your true identity or whatever.”
Lyu just sighed. “…What do you want to order?”
Aisha ordered an ale, and when Lyu brought it over, she smirked.
“You know, you’re pretty sweet on this Cranell boy, ain’tcha?”
“And what do you mean by that?”
“You’re an elf through and through. I can smell it on ya. But still, you let down your guard when he’s around. You want to know more about him. I wonder, how does he look in your eyes?”
Lyu sighed again and turned away. But every subsequent time Lyu passed by her table, Aisha would order something and ask questions like, “What about that man’s so appealing to you?” “Is it his muscles? His power?” The questions became more and more obscene. “So have you taken what you want from him?” “You must have kissed him at least?” “How do his lips taste?” “He’s a human. Don’t you want his seed?”
Lyu ignored every provocation, causing Aisha to give a heavy, despondent sigh at the elf’s hardheadedness.
“Gah, you elves are a bunch of stuck-up softies,” she said. “At least the dwarves know how to have a decent conversation.”
At that utterance, something finally snapped. Lyu planted her feet, turned around, and fired off her retort.
“I’m sorry I don’t share your lust for carnal pleasures, but in my world, we don’t sleep with someone we just met!” Her eyebrows seesawed inward. “We wouldn’t dream of it before first swearing our eternal love in an abandoned glade under the light of the moon!”
Aisha froze and blinked in surprise.
“…Well, I’ll be. I never took you for such a romantic,” she said.
“………”
Lyu turned and briskly walked away, her slender ears turning bright red. For the rest of the night, Lyu had to endure the Amazon’s taunts every time she came to take her order.
