The Hospitable People of Siesta / Trouble Is Like Flies in Summer

The winery worker next door looked embarrassed upon hearing Suika's words, then took a small glass from the side, took a small sip, and drank it all in one gulp. His face immediately turned bright red.

At this point, he was certain that the beer was his own homemade high-proof Snake Venom Beer.

Amidst the admiring expression on her opponent's face, Suika asked the referee beside her a question.

"If a few drops are missing, will my cup be invalid?"

"Of course not, it's just a sip, it won't affect your score, ma'am..." Before the referee could finish speaking, Suika, hearing that it wouldn't have any impact, downed her drink in one gulp.

After that, there wasn't even a gasp; the entire audience fell silent.

Those who previously suspected her of cheating are now filled with admiration.

If she could still cheat successfully with so many people standing around, then she must have exceptional skills.

If the winery staff, who are acting as judges, have confirmed that the wine is fine, and you still have doubts, you'll probably be invited up for a drink by the winery staff.

After calmly drinking her sixth cup without batting an eye, Suika stopped and looked around at the others, who were all continuing their competition at their own pace.

However, that first whole cup lowered everyone's skill level by a notch.

So everyone has already assumed that Suika is in first place, and the others are vying for second place.

Half an hour later, with Ursus's Gustav's eyes rolling back and him collapsing to the ground, the match officially ended.

The undisputed champion is Suika, who topped the list with a total of ten cups.

Second place Vico

When he had drunk seven and a half glasses, Gustav, who was sitting next to him, leaned back with a dazed look in his eyes.

Although the two drank roughly the same amount of alcohol, considering that he was still conscious, he successfully stood on the head of the Ursus giant.

Gustav came in third.

The audience approves of this ranking, but the contestants are quite upset.

Vico's face scrunched up, looking very troubled. Upon asking, it turned out he didn't have much money in his pocket at all.

He was confident of winning first place, which would have meant a free drink, but unfortunately, he encountered the monster Suika, who dashed his hopes of victory.

Logically, in this situation, he should have stopped decisively and cut his losses in time.

But he was also a genuine alcoholic; once he started drinking after a long period of abstinence, he couldn't stop.

So it turned out like this. Although he got second place, the thought of having to pay for half of the drinks he drank made him feel utterly hopeless.

"Hey, it's just the cost of the drinks... I'll pay for it."

No need to refuse right away, just pay me back when you make money... Besides, I really think you could be my colleague.

Don't forget to give the second letter to Closure if you successfully get the job... Hehehe... A male Visionary is still a Visionary... Why assume the gender of a Visionary?"

Suika patted him on the back, then followed him to the entrance of the Pure White Volcano.

"You accept cards here, right?" Suika asked happily when she saw the card reader inside.

"Of course, but since you're the champion, all drinks are on the house this time," the proprietress said with a smile.

"I'm here to pay for him, to swipe my card..." Suika pointed to Vico behind her, who looked embarrassed.

The proprietress smiled and swiped the card to pay for the drinks, looking at Suika with increasing delight.

After all, these kinds of competitions are all about creating buzz.

It would seem perfectly reasonable for Ursus to win first place.

It's quite surprising that a Durin won first place; what kind of wine could attract Durin alcoholic?

But it's a different story when a seemingly ordinary little girl defeats the other two with an absolute advantage to win the drinking contest.

She could already imagine how many people would become curious about her restaurant after the news was published in tomorrow's newspaper.

Chapter 201 The Hospitable Siesta People

After the match, Vico said goodbye to Suika.

"You're already planning to go to Karaton? Don't tell me you came to the surface intending to travel Terra on a shoestring budget?" Suika looked at him; he had nothing but a travel bag, practically the same as what she'd given to others.

Vico blushed upon hearing Suika's words.

Through his account, it became clear that this drunken demolition expert from underground was even less reliable than Suika had imagined.

After leaving the underground, he came to the surface with complete sincerity.

Of course, he brought nothing but Akagi.

Having arrived on Earth, Vico was naturally met with a series of setbacks and disappointments.

Having experienced being scammed, incurring debt, being arrested, being imprisoned for not being able to repay the money, secretly making explosives from inconspicuous scraps to blow up the prison cell, escaping, and arriving in Siesta.

After this series of fascinating stories, he was fortunate enough to meet Suika.

"Oh, so you've been fooled? Aren't you afraid I'm fooling you too?"

For example, would they trick you into going somewhere to get kidneys?

After hearing his story, Suika expressed her incomprehension. After such an experience, he would still choose to trust her? Was she really that charming?

"Don't worry, I believe there can't be any bad people among those who can drink more than me!" Vico said confidently.

Well, this kind of worldview is beyond saving, so Suika decided to give up trying to persuade her.

"Alright, it seems you don't have enough money for the journey. This isn't much, but it's enough for you to get to Karaton."

Vico did not refuse but took it and nodded.

"I will try my best to save money and pay off the debt by the time we meet again."

"See you next time!" Suika waved to him, and Vico picked up his things and turned to walk out of the city.

He hadn't been gone long when a series of hurried footsteps approached. Suika turned around and saw a dozen or so men who looked menacing walking towards her.

"Boss, according to intelligence, that short guy was seen here!"

"Go ask the people around here where that guy went!" the leader told his men.

Suika remembered what Vico had said earlier and walked over.

Are you all looking for a Durin named Vico?

"Hmm, you've seen him? Where is he!" Hearing someone speak, everyone turned to look.

After discovering it was a little girl, the leader asked.

Suika calmly raised her hand, making a gesture as if asking for money.

"Intelligence fee!"

"You fucking want to die!" The group walked over and surrounded Suika, with the leader reaching out to grab Suika neck.

"A bunch of grown men bullying a little girl? Do you think Siesta has no one to rely on?! Ennis, go call the police..."

Not far away, the proprietress of the Pure White Volcano pointed in this direction and shouted angrily.

Upon hearing her words, the leader not only did not back down, but instead sped up even more.

However, before his hand could even touch Suika, Suika had already grabbed his hand and then easily executed an over-the-shoulder throw, sending him flying and crashing into the two people behind him.

The others noticed something was wrong and reached out to grab Suika.

But unexpectedly, she didn't let go at all. Instead, she grabbed the leader of the group and started hitting him back and forth as if he were bored.

By the time Suika helped him away, the man was almost paralyzed from the waist down.

Those he brought with him were also injured and left on the ground.

Her impressive record left those around her who were about to come to her aid stunned.

Then the crowd quickly surrounded him, trapping him in the middle.

The leader was injured and was still convulsing on the ground. He was surrounded and couldn't run away. All the men could do was squat down with their hands covering their heads.

"Don't be afraid, little girl. We all saw it clearly. They attacked first. You were just defending yourself. We'll all speak up for you!"

The proprietress of Pure White Volcano walked over to Suika and began to comfort her, although judging from the scene, it was the guys lying on the ground who needed comforting.

Suika blinked, trying her best to look like a pure and innocent little girl.

Soon after, the military and police arrived and saw the group of people lying on the ground, along with the onlookers.

My first thought was that these people had done something heinous and were being beaten up by the crowd.

Upon inquiry, it turned out that the people around hadn't actually fought; they had simply surrounded the people inside after the battle ended, preventing them from escaping.

The culprit behind the dozen or so burly men lying on the ground was a little girl standing in the middle who seemed to have nothing to do with the word "force."

"You..."

"I did it. A group of them surrounded me, and I was terrified. The uncle lying on the ground even tried to choke me. In a moment of panic, I grabbed him and threw him onto the other people."

Just as the military police were looking at Suika, in that instant, Suika inner Shaw and recounted the events in one breath with lightning speed.

The key point is that everything she said was witnessed by everyone around her, so after she finished speaking, the others nodded in agreement, indicating that she was right.

Seeing that the people around them all agreed that Suika was right, and that those who spoke up for her were local merchants with a reputation for integrity, the military police figured that these people probably wanted to capture the girl or threaten her into doing something.

But unexpectedly, the opponent was exceptionally talented and possessed superhuman strength, resulting in their defeat here due to a moment of carelessness.

It's not unusual to have superhuman strength in Terra, especially since Sargon, near Siesta, has a race called the Vouivre, whose men and women are all incredibly strong.

Under these circumstances, the military and police did not continue to harass Suika, because it was clear that this was an incident in which a woman was threatened and coerced, and then killed in self-defense.

Considering that Suika looks very young, it's normal that she didn't know her own strength when she attacked, and besides the leader who was seriously injured, no one else died.

The shopkeepers next door added fuel to the fire, saying that the people who came here didn't look like good people at all, probably looking for revenge. They added that since Suika had won a championship, maybe some loser was just looking for trouble... and other such ridiculous reasons...

So after taking a statement on the spot, the military and police released Suika and she left.

"Madam, there are police booths on every road in Siesta. If you encounter danger, please try not to try to handle it yourself. Go to the police booth as soon as possible, and our people will protect your safety."

As the sheriff took those people away, he gave Suika a special instruction.

Regarding Suika, who is not normal, the sheriff said he had seen too many people like him. They have a little talent and ability and like to be heroes, thinking they are the chosen ones, and then one day they die in some stinking ditch.

Considering that Suika looked too young, the sheriff reminded her that it would be best to seek help from them if she encountered any danger.

Chapter 202 Trouble is like flies in summer

After the sheriff led those people away, Suika thanked everyone around her.

Although they were indeed the ones who started the fight, this happened in the city after all.

If it weren't for the local businesses and tourists who spoke up for me, I probably would have been taken to the police station.

Arriving in the police station on the very first day in Siesta sounds less like a tourist trip and more like someone coming to cause trouble.

"Don't worry, little girl. Although you don't know those guys, it's obvious they're not good people. Mayor Herman hates this kind of violence in the city. They'll be expelled from Siesta and won't have a chance to come back."

The proprietress of Pure White Volcano walked over to Suika, patted her on the shoulder, and said proudly.

At this point, Siesta, as the most famous tourist attraction in Terra, certainly had the right and confidence to say such a thing.

"Thank you so much for your help, sister!" Suika thanked the proprietress again.

Hearing Suika's words, the proprietress smiled broadly, "You're welcome, you're welcome! Little sister, you've drunk so much, are you hungry? Our restaurant's food is quite good too, what would you like to eat? I'll make it for you for free..."

"Then I'll accept it without hesitation..." After saying that, Suika followed into the restaurant, ordered a local specialty, and sat by the window. While looking out at the beach scenery, she habitually took out her Ibuki Gourd and started drinking.

"Guest, Siesta- style seafood fried noodles." A moment later, a little Liberi boy with tanned skin came to Suika with a large bowl of fried noodles.

Upon closer inspection, the so-called Siesta -style seafood fried noodles turned out to be a hodgepodge of several familiar-looking but unfamiliar tropical fruits Shanghai, oysters, crabs, and other near-shore flora and fauna.

Looking at the fruit inside, Suika's first thought was of some bizarre dishes she had seen before—like roasted Watermelon.

With curiosity in mind, she took a bite, Suika's eyes lit up.

This stir-fried noodle dish didn't have much tomato sauce, but with the help of fruit, it was still very delicious with its sweet and sour flavor.

The key is that this complex flavor masks the fishy taste of seafood and enhances its freshness.

This stir-fried noodle dish tasted much better than I expected.

Sensing the gaze of the person next to her, Suika tilted her head and found that it was the little boy staring at her.
