Guild Boss's Ambition

"Wow! Bad associations are coming out of my head!"

"No, no! That's Anne-senpai, you can't have any excessive fantasies about her!"

I changed into my uniform and arrived at the back of the bar fifteen minutes early, but I was still a step behind Senior Annie.

When I arrived, Senior Annie had already organized most of the tools and materials that would be used.

At first, she didn't notice my arrival, she was so absorbed in her thoughts until I took the initiative to greet her.

"Good morning, Senior Annie."

"Good morning, Gushan."

Even though something like that happened yesterday, we were still smiling as usual today. Such tacit disguise created a strange atmosphere in the bartender's room. However, neither my seniors nor I deliberately pointed out this abnormality. We were all very careful and did not dare to touch that fragile and sensitive area to avoid something like this from happening again.

At least don't mess up the job.

Today's work schedule is Brandy Alexander.

The process of developing this cocktail was quite enjoyable. Generally speaking, I will inevitably drink a few glasses of experimental products during the trial process. This cocktail is a sweet wine featuring dark chocolate wine and milk, so even if the seasoning fails, it will tend to be sweet and mellow overall, and will not leave my mouth full of chili sauce like the Bloody Mary last time.

"Gu Shan, can you help me try it?"

Just like usual, Senior Annie handed me the freshly mixed drink. In order to prevent me, a young boy, from getting drunk, she would taste the drink herself most of the time. But sometimes the taste lingering on my tongue was too strong and drastic to detect the subtle differences, so Senior Annie would let me take a sip or two.

"But why does Alexander look so dark this time? Isn't he white? How did he become black?"

"Um……"

I hesitated for a moment as I looked at the coffee-colored cocktail, but finally plucked up the courage and took a sip.

Gulu...

Gulu...

The taste is terrible, like tomato juice mixed with shacha sauce.

But even if it's an addictive poison, as long as it's made by Senior Annie herself, I'm willing to drink it all.

Gulu...

Gulu...

I drank half of it in one gulp, but only finished half of it when Senior Annie snatched the cup away from me.

"Idiot! You're going to get drunk!"

"Hiccup~~"

I responded to Senior Annie with a burp that tasted like breakfast. I knew it was very rude of me to do so, but the alcohol took effect so quickly that my cheeks suddenly became hot and my head became dizzy.

Well? !

Suddenly, my vision went dark.

"Gu Shan, are you okay?"

I immediately perked up because I heard the voice of senior Annie.

But when he opened his eyes again, the scene before him had changed drastically.

I saw a strange creature made up of various snakes.

Its head is a huge inverted triangle snake head, and below the snake head is a human-shaped torso composed of thousands of small snakes. This terrifying human-shaped torso has hands and feet. Like Senior Annie, it wears the tuxedo of our stone house. Whenever it moves, the group of snakes that make up it will begin to wriggle continuously──

"This is an illusion caused by the cocktail I just drank."

Because I have had similar experiences before, I was mentally prepared.

however……

Now, the "Senior Annie" standing in front of me is a little frightened? !

"What's wrong, Gu Shan? Are you feeling unwell? Are you suffering from food poisoning again?"

It spoke to me the soft voice of Senior Annie, and with each word it uttered, the huge snake tongue performed a strange dance in mid-dance, making every pore in my body tremble.

Don't……

"Gu Shan? What's wrong with you?"

It stretched out its strange hand toward me, and the grease on the thin snake gleamed an evil color in the light.

I was so scared that I raised my foot to retreat.

Then he stepped forward harder, gritted his teeth and held the strange hand.

The moment I held it, I closed my eyes tightly.

When I closed my eyes, the feeling from the palm of my hand returned to the tenderness and warmth of Senior Annie.

"That's right, it's Annie-senpai, it's Annie-senpai."

I tried to open my eyes and look at the illusion.

There was no change at all. The illusion was still an illusion, and the touch on the hand also became more slippery like a snake.

"Gushan?" she asked me puzzledly.

I took a deep breath and faced the snake pupil: "Senior, the glass of wine you just drank will cause hallucinations, please pour it out."

The snake asked me, "Hallucination? What kind of hallucination?"

I shook my head to get rid of the indescribable fear and forced myself to smile: "It doesn't matter what kind of hallucination it is, it's not a good thing anyway. Senior Annie, shall we continue the experiment?"

"Is it really okay?"

"Really! It's okay! I just feel a little uncomfortable! OK, no problem!"

"Uh, okay..."

The monster looked at me in confusion, poured out the drink, and warned me, "But! If you really feel something is wrong with your body, don't hide it. Remember to tell me the situation!"

I bit my lower lip lightly, letting the pain awaken my reason and stop myself from seeing her as it.

The most important thing about a person is his inner self.

wrong! wrong!

perhaps……

Even if they are snakes, I shouldn't have such a scary impression of them──

Have courage, conquer fear, and see the essence of things.

What is the essence of Anne Senior?

She is my gentle senior who always cares about the people around her and lends a helping hand to us when we are in trouble. She never asks for anyone's affirmation when doing things, and does good things without expecting any reward. She does things because she wants to do them, and she never hesitates to smile because she wants others to be happy. She seems to love everyone in the world.

But I know that she has someone she loves the most.

And she had lost that person.

I know, but maybe I have been pretending not to know until now.

Senior Annie...

Like her.

And if there is a runner-up and a third place in terms of emotions, I probably won’t even make it to the top eight.

However, "she" has "stopped" forever.

As long as I work hard little by little, every day and every night, one day, I can catch up with her past path, become the next woman who enters her sight, become the next champion, and become her only one.

I just want her to fall in love with me.

I want her to fall in love with me even if I die.

Because I have already fallen in love first-

If she doesn't fall in love with me in return──

Then what should I do?

I dare not imagine it, I cannot imagine it.

Because of fear, I am fearless.

I chatted and laughed with it as if I was not seeing an illusion.

I drank glass after glass of wine, I was drunk and danced, I kissed its cheek secretly, the snake's skin was not as fishy as I imagined, but dry like sandpaper, but what does it matter? It's just Annie's, no matter what, even if she gets old one day and her skin is wrinkled like a snake, I will always want to stay by her side.

"Senior Annie, do you like Gu Shan?"

I climbed up to the top of the wine rack and shouted at the serpent monster below.

The basilisk showed a ridiculous panic expression, and millions of thin snakes began to tremble as if they were scalded by hot water.

"Gushan! Come down quickly! It's dangerous there!"

"No way! No way! Even if it means getting hurt, I'll do this!"

I don't know when, I had drunk so much that I forgot the rules and began to treat everything around me as a dream. This small bartender began to emit soft stars of light along with my fantasies and hallucinations. The soft light danced in my silly laughter like fireflies, and I also jumped from one cocktail rack to another step in the shouting of the strange snake.

A thud.

I landed—

Land on the taller locker.

I asked her, "Senior! Do I know the difference between a girl and a woman?"

It yelled angrily, "Get down here! Get down now!"

I bent over and fished out the dishes from my locker and threw them down.

"Haha! Damn you, Anne-senpai! Accept my punishment!"

When it saw the dishes I pushed down, it hurriedly stretched out its eighteen arms to catch them all. Fortunately, it had more than two arms, otherwise there would be glass fragments all over the floor.

"Gu Shan! If you don't come down, I will be angry!"

"I won't come down! I won't come down! Unless Senior Annie says she loves me, I won't come down!"

"I love you! I love you! Come down quickly."

Listening to its perfunctory tone, I felt a sense of depression in my chest for no reason.

I sat on top of the cabinet, stamping my feet back and forth, throwing tantrums and kicking the cabinet door, making it bang.

"No matter what, I want a hug! Senior! I want a hug!"

I opened my arms and waited for her embrace──

It stretched out its two snake hands to me -

I felt a little disgusted at first, but after a while I started laughing again.

I laughed because I wanted to play a trick on this basilisk.

Not because she was an ugly basilisk, but because she was the hateful senior Annie.

Yes.

Senior Annie is so abominable! Really so abominable!

I have to punish her.

She opened her arms to hold me down, and I kicked her in the face.

"I came! I saw! I conquered! I am the great Alex!"

……

……

64. Too abrupt (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lannon)

At noon, Gu Shan was sent by Stallone to the third floor where Hai Lao and I lived.

The little girl's face was red from being drunk, like a woman who didn't know how to put on makeup and turned herself into a monkey's butt. She was not much better than Senior Annie. The drunk Gu Shan was also very restless, shouting about snakes and talking nonsense, saying that he was Alexander the Conqueror and told us, the weaklings, to surrender quickly -

She not only disturbed Hai Lao and me, but also affected Countess Sophie who was doing business next door. All the high-level magic stones that the Countess had worked so hard to collect were almost thrown out of the window by this drunken girl.
