Alien Bar: Found a Wizard Girl, Gale Sword - Chapter 11:’Hole-in-One.’
“Ahaha, I was just kidding.” The strange androgynous young person in front of Prince Lieyang gave him an unprecedented sense of pressure, so he could only smile and explain cautiously.
White-haired young person, Glenfiddich, the owner of the Emerald Sapphire Bar, still puzzled Leon about his gender.
With a flat chest, fair skin, a slightly androgynous voice, a handsome face, and male attire, it was difficult to determine his gender.
“Leon, well said! You must make the name of the Emerald Bar known throughout the entire Aios Continent. I will fully support you, starting with a salary increase.” The owner turned to Leon, his pupils showing excitement.
Leon asked, “How much of an increase?”
“Let’s start with a 20% raise.”
“Thank you, boss.”
On his third day at work, without doing anything yet, Leon’s salary was raised by one-fifth. No wonder so many people love to flatter the boss. But Leon didn’t consider himself as one of them; he was just expressing his true thoughts.
Seeing Leon getting a raise for no reason, Elise felt dissatisfied.
“I want a raise too!”
“Huh? What did you say?” Glenfiddich pretended not to hear and scratched his ear, as if trying to hear what she was saying.
“You’re deaf or something? I’ve been working for so many years, and you’ve never given me a raise. Why did you give him a raise as soon as he came?” Elise complained loudly to the owner.
Glenfiddich chuckled. “Okay, there’s no need to shout. I’m not deaf. If you can make a cocktail as excellent as Leon’s, or at least half as good, I’ll double your salary. How about that?”
Elise’s face began to blush. “Alright, you wait and see.”
“Sure, I look forward to your performance. Come on, little Elise, work hard,” the owner encouraged her.
After handling the emotional employee, Glenfiddich turned to Leon and said, “Give me another one of those.”
The owner’s eyes were full of anticipation.
Leon smiled and said, “Of course, please wait a moment.”
The owner’s “another one” referred to the cocktail Leon had made during the interview.
He skillfully prepared the cocktail shaker and a champagne saucer, then took a bottle of whiskey and absinthe from the liquor cabinet. He also prepared freshly squeezed lemon and orange juice, combining them in the shaker in a 1:2 ratio to fill about 8/10 of it with ice. He then added the ice in the and whiskey in the same proportions and quantity, shook it until frost appeared on the surface of the shaker, and finally poured the amber liquid into the elegant saucer glass.
Leon picked up a perfectly cut lemon slice, an eight-segmented lemon with golden and even flesh, and cut one segment neatly, leaving only seven segments in the glass, before gently clipping the lemon on the edge of the glass.
The golden lemon and amber liquid complemented each other, making people feel like they were looking at a sea surface under the setting sun. The enticing aroma of the drink spread from the small glass, making everyone salivate, unable to help but swallow.
Glenfiddich took a sip, and his face immediately showed a joyful expression, like a girl lifted by waves on the beach, with waves crashing around her feet, making her involuntarily laugh like silver bells.
The spicy taste was like the lingering warmth of the beach under the setting sun, continuously stimulating his taste buds. With careful appreciation, he could taste the complex and mellow flavours, leaving a lasting aftertaste.
When he opened his eyes and returned to reality, the glass was empty, and there was an additional person next to him, a red-haired woman
Karina was attracted by the aroma at the bar when she entered. Seeing Glenfiddich’s intoxicated expression, she knew Leon had made another excellent cocktail.
“What kind of drink is this?” she asked Leon.
Leon smiled and replied, “It’s called ‘Hole-in-One.’”
“That’s a very lewd name.”
Elise couldn’t help but retort, “People with lewd thoughts see everything as lewd. Besides, disliking him doesn’t mean disliking his drinks. They’re two different things. And I’m preparing to defeat him, what’s the problem?”
Leon just smiled, choosing to ignore their argument. He then noticed Lanya looking eager, so he asked, “Do you want to try it too?”
Of course, Lanya wanted to drink after seeing everyone’s satisfied expressions.
“Can I have some?”
Leon prepared another champagne saucer and poured some of the drink into it, filling the bottom of the glass, before handing it to the expectant Lanya.
“You can have some, but just a little.”
Lan Ya nodded excitedly and took the glass. After taking a sip, a charming blush appeared on her fair little face.
“Did this little girl spend the night at your place last night?” Karina suddenly left her quarrel with Elise and turned to Leon, asking.
Leon didn’t answer, and Elise replied on his behalf, “Yes, she looks weak. She must have been messed around pretty badly last night. I couldn’t catch up with him when he closed the shop so quickly.”
Karina said, “You are cunning. He closed the shop too quickly yesterday, and I couldn’t catch up either. Today, I must follow him home.”
