Chapter 33 Hangover 4 (1/2)
Lenny laughed, ”Yeah just one look at your face and anyone around here can say for certain that you are a greenhorn, a kid who barely learned how to shoot a weapon compared with them.”
John rolled his eyes, annoyed by Lenny he browsed through the bar's menu. He tried to read the description of the things there, but he didn't had any prior knowledge about alcoholic beverage.
John stared at the menu for far too long and Lenny lost his patience, ”Come on, don't be a pussy. Here take a sip, see if you like.” Lenny took a glass cup from the barman's counter, poured a little of his Martini in the cup and placed in front of John.
John put down the menu and reluctantly reached for the cup. He took it and sipped a little of its content.
The moment the Martini touched his tongue, he felt the taste. He instantly frowned and his mouth started to have slight burning sensation. He tried to swallow, but the burning sensation also followed and the he soon felt the burning in his throat, all the way toward his stomach.
Lenny laughed without holding back after seeingJohn's grimace, ”HAHAHAHAHA! Look at your face.”
”What the hell.” After he finished swallowing it John exclaimed, ”Is this type of thing really good? How can people enjoy such thing?”
”Hehehe...” Lenny chuckled, ”Don't worry, it gets better after you get used to it.”
”I don't know... I don't see myself liking this type of stuff.”
”OH MY GOD! Stop whining.” Lenny then looked for the barman, ”Hey! Get this lad here a Summerset beer.”
”Right up.” The Penguin jumped down from the counter and started to roam through the alcoholic beverages.
”When did I said I would continue drinking?”
”You didn't, I'm actually forcing you to do so. Let me teach you... How to have fun.”
”Great...” John helplessly let Lenny do his thing. It isn't like he has something better to do anyway.
”Here.” The barman brought a brown bottle with a label that was written 'Summerset'.
Lenny took the bottle, opened it and poured it in John's cup, ”This is the most famous beer around the universe. As you might expect it belong to the Letheia Corporation, but that doesn't matter. This is perfect for the types of you who are drinking beverages for the first time. It has only 2% of alcohol in it. Give it a try, I'm sure you will kind like it.”
John suspicionsly glanced at Lenny and then at the cup. He sighed and decided to go with the current. He took the cup and sipped.
”Huh?” John looked surprised for a moment.
”It's good isn't it?” Lenny let out a knowing smile, ”it's my favorite beverage. It is cheap and good.”
Indeed. The moment the beverage hit John's tongue, he felt a sweet and somewhat sour flavor, different from the overwhelming sour and heating flavor of the Martini.
John nodded, ”It's indeed not bad... I could get used to it.”
Lenny gleefully smiled, ”My friend, Connor. I shall take this opportunity to show you the wonders of life...”
