What Do You Mean I'm The Captain Of A Yandere Mercenary Company?

Chapter 132 Good Beer, Good Entertainment

We took a seat at the bar in the very corner of the counter, partly because the place was quite full and partly because the centre was occupied by a rather boisterous crowd that we wanted to avoid.

Amber and Lea took my sides while I sat in between them.

Amber then flagged down the bartender to get their attention and a young man approached us while rolling up his sleeves to reveal both his arms were augmented.

"What can I get you ladies?" He asked in a not exactly friendly but also not that unfriendly way.

"Anything you recommend?" Amber asked, leaning her arm against the bar.

"We only have the house beer."

"Then why did you ask? Just serve three up!"

The bartender rolled his eyes, "You got to pay first, woman."

Amber took out her personal terminal and plugged a Credit Chip into it, presumably to pay for the drinks even though I could pay instead.

There was a soft ding coming from under the counter which I assumed meant the money had been transferred which made the bartender get three glasses that he set down on the counter in front of us.

The glasses were empty so I thought he might be mocking us at first but then he reached below the counter and pulled up a tube that he stuck into a socket in his right elbow.

A dark brown liquid then flowed into his arm and it started to make whirring noises before he picked up one of the glass and hovered his right palm over it.

I watched as a nozzle appeared in his palm and the liquid gushed out to start filling up said glass.

The fact that the glass started fogging up on the outside as soon as the liquid touched it told me that the alcohol was chilled.

Once that glass was filled to the brim, he shut it off and set it down in front of Amber before picking up the glass in front of me to repeat the process.

Soon enough, we had three glasses of alcohol set in front of us and the bartender unplugged the nozzle from his elbow.

"Enjoy," He told us curtly before leaving to join the group of guys in the middle.

Amber picked up her glass and clinked it against mine, "Cheers, Tera!"

I picked up my glass at the same time as Lea, bringing it up to my nose to give it a whiff.

I was expecting this to be somewhat decent since I've already figured out that humanity did not fail in making synthbeer.

It certainly smelled like beer so I brought the rim to my mouth to taste it.

Hmm... Dark, malty and flavorful.

Yep, this is a good beer alright.

"Oh come now, don't be like that! It'll be fun, I promise!"

I waved at him, "Thanks but no thanks. You guys have fun."

He shrugged and seemed to be ready to turn around to walk away when another guy came up to us.

Unlike the first guy who maintained a distance between us, this second guy came right up beside Amber and leaned against the counter, almost touching her.

He had even pushed the first guy away with his elbow and made him stumble back a few steps.

He smirked, "Hey, ignore that loser and drink with me instead. I'll show you girls a good time!" Explore more stories with empire

The first guy came up and held the second guy's shoulder, "Hey, what did you just say? That's not very nice."

The second guy immediately turned around and punched the first guy in the stomach without warning.

Even I was surprised by his actions as the first guy doubled over and the second guy just turned back to us like nothing happened.

"As I was saying, come hang out with me instead, I'll show you girls a better--"

"Hey! What the fuck man?!" Someone from the group in the middle shouted, stomping over to the fallen guy. "Who the fuck do you think you are to hit our friend like that?!"

At least four guys peeled away from the crowd to stand with the first guy, one of them bending down to support him up to his feet.

The second guy ignored them and leaned even closer to address us instead, "So what do you say? I know a better place we can go where there's less of these idiots."

That was when I smelt the alcohol on his breath and realised that this guy was most likely inebriated.

"Hey! I'm talking to you, fucker!!" The first guy's friend shouted while grabbing the drunk guy's shoulder.

He then spun around and delivered a punch across the friend's jaw, knocking him down onto the ground.

That prompted the guy behind him to step forward and punch him in the face in retaliation.

The drunk guy let out a roar and leapt on his attacker, stirring the other guys behind him to jump in as well and a brawl started right in front of us.

As though that wasn't enough, men who were clearly buddies with the drunk guy also let out a shout from across the street and rushed here to defend him, dissolving into an all out brawl.

Amber was just watching the entire thing happen while sipping on her beer, looking nonplussed at the people beating each other up in front of her.

Lea frowned, "Shouldn't we leave or something?"

Amber turned back to grin at her, "Why? We've got good beer and now we even have some entertainment to go along with it!"

...

You know what... You're right, Amber. This is pretty entertaining.
