I fell into the world of cyberpunk games

It’s a pain in the ass.

“You just eat what Tony mixes.”

“I don’t like it. I still get the fishy smell of fish sauce in my nose just looking at the cocktails that Jerzy makes. I think it was left as a trauma.”

“Then I’ll call Sei. You said you were in the break room? I’ll go and get it right away.”

“Okay. Just go inside the table. Here’s the bartender I want, so there’s no need to bother anyone else.”

Oh man, this guy is so damn tenacious.

I said sternly.

“I’m telling you because you don’t seem to know, but it’s only been six days since I started working. It’s been five days since I started learning cocktails.

So far, I’m not at the level of making cocktails in front of customers. I’m sorry, but I think it would be better to just get bartending from Sei.”

As always, my philosophy was the same.

Don’t take risks with the food you’re going to serve your customers.

Because of that, didn’t you think about it for a long time even when serving the Fallen Angel? In the end, though, I fell for provocation.

Even if it was a true detective who came to get free drinks, the customer was the customer.

And yet, my driving ability is at a level I’m embarrassed to show in front of customers.

Perhaps the fact that the detective was convinced there was no room for negotiating in the fight of decisive refusal.

“… Then there is nothing you can do If only it had been five days.”

Also, I’m not a person who can’t speak at all.

The self-proclaimed Holmes looked at Tony with distasteful eyes.

“I hate it, but I can’t help it. It would be strange to complain about the plight. I’ll have to drink the alcohol the magician gives me for today.”

I let out a sigh of relief because I wanted to get over it somehow, but suddenly, a variable arose on Tony’s side.

“Well… I think a little differently.”

He clenched his chin on the bar table and smiled grimly. I had a somewhat ominous feeling.

“I’m Nakamura, so you can do the service yourself.”

Unbelievable. At Tony’s betrayal I trusted, I opened my mouth and, on the contrary, raised a question from the detective’s side.

“But as Watson just said, normal bartending seems impossible? Unless you have had an illegal memory injection procedure, you can barely study oil and mix alcohol properly.”

On the contrary, it seems like the detective is on my side.

As he nodded, thinking that was true, Tony shrugged and said.

“A normal person would.”

“Hoo… Watson is not an ordinary person, is it?”

A true detective looking at me while burying his body deep in the chair as if he were attracted to it.

Somewhere in the dark eyes, I trembled and approached Tony.

“is this right? If you have any complaints with me, just tell me.”

“Why, try it.”

“Why are you doing this when you know better than anyone that I’m not that good yet?”

Tony yawns languidly at my urgent protest, which he can’t even breathe properly and exhales.

“If you don’t, you will continue to be at an unacceptable level. Shouldn’t I be improving my skills?”

“Wow… .”

“why?”

“It was a statement that seemed to come up after searching through some library self-improvement phrase.”

“Are you a little cramped?”

“You look older than squeamish.”

“You sound like a nerd. Damn, I can’t resist. When I turn 30, these words come naturally to me. I’m going to go to the captain.”

“cheer up.”

Nangrang 28 years old, he asked Tony, a young man with a heart, giving him a word of comfort.

“So, are you really doing it?”

“Oh, do it. There aren’t many opportunities like this. Testing your skills with real customers outside of business hours.

It must have been a very different feeling compared to making cocktails in front of Nana and Sei. It will give you the feeling that it is not a practice, but a real game.”

Well, even with Tony, making cocktails in front of Say seems to be a level reminiscent of a real battle.

Standing in front of those icy gray eyes, everyone has no choice but to be like that.

“That’s right, but on the contrary, since it’s a real battle, maybe we should be more careful. I’m not really sure.”

Tony snorted at my words.

“I don’t want to hear such a cry from a guy who memorized nearly 100 cocktail recipes in three days. Do it in moderation.”

“No, it’s just memorization. My head is spinning a bit these days, but it’s different from mixing alcohol with that. I haven’t mastered the brewing technique yet.”

“Noisy. stop sulking You were going to practice cocktails in front of me anyway. Think of it as just one more target.”

It couldn’t be that easy.

And to be honest, it’s true that I’m not confident.

Tony whispered to me, who was still hesitant.

“And the best part is that if you make a practice cocktail and serve it to you, the captain pays for it.

As the captain said, he’ll pay for your cocktail lessons. If you make it yourself, you won’t have to buy the detective a drink with your money.”

“… !”

It was a word that made my eyes twinkle.

That’s right. why didn’t i think of that

Without realizing it, I asked in a low voice.

“Are you sure about that?”

It’s not that I don’t want to pay for a drink, so I’m not bending my food service philosophy or anything, I’m just curious.

It wasn’t like the recent bleeding in the account caused me to suddenly get cold or anything like that.

nod.

Ju-eok swallows his saliva at the sight of Tony.

Beside them, I could hear the truth detectives shouting, saying, “What kind of secret conversation are you two having like that? When will you take your order?”

Money or belief?

I closed my eyes tightly as I stood at the crossroads of choice.

“Today is the day I want to enjoy antique and modern sake together.”

The customer says, stroking his voluminous mustache.

“First, let’s enjoy the aesthetics of old things… Whiskey would be good for the main sake. There is a saying that there is no bad whiskey in the world.”

“You want to make it old fashioned?”

“No, it’s more to my taste… Something sweet suits you. okay. That would be great. Prepare it as ‘The queen of cocktails’, bartender. Today I feel like welcoming Her Majesty.”

“If you were the queen of cocktails, you wouldn’t have memorized it yet, because the spelling starts with M. We can only make what is on the front of the menu in alphabetical order.”

“Ah, that’s right. This is difficult. Should I order another cocktail? .”

Watching the two customers having a conversation, the bartender said.

“You can. Three cocktail queens?”

“you can do it? Have you memorized M already?”

“It’s not like that, isn’t this cocktail so popular?”

There are so many famous cocktails on the letter M side. After looking through it a few times, the recipe was in my head.

and… Well.

Yes. what to hide

I was the bartender. At least in this place it was. I got to mix cocktails.

I have lost my belief and tenacity of not taking risks in front of customers. because it’s true

So what. What if I don’t have money?

No superhuman can overcome the logic of capitalist society.

The drink was too expensive for me to pay.

Even the ‘Queen of Cocktails’ we are talking about now costs about 200 city dollars.

If my monthly salary is about thirty thousand city dollars, and assuming that I work every day for a month, my daily wage is about 1,000 city dollars,

Even if I drink just five cups of the ‘Queen of Cocktails’, my daily wage disappears.

Because five cocktails are equivalent to the cost of a day’s labor of Jo Aron and Aaron Nakamura. does it make sense

I don’t mean to say it from the point of view of working at a bar, but people who drink such expensive cocktails are insane.

Even after learning a lot about how to enjoy cocktails over the past few days, their aesthetics and taste, it’s still hard to understand those who pour so much money into alcoholic beverages.

I don’t know if it’s as delicious as it is expensive, but the world of cocktails is really mysterious, so the more expensive the cocktail, the more bitter, poisonous, and tasteless it is in many cases.

How about this cocktail?

I opened the manual in my head.

If you are the queen of cocktails, this is it.

“Manhattan

“Long Live the Queen.”

-The last prince of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Winston Charles Edwards.

Classic, high alcohol, bittersweet sweetness.

Variations: Perfect Manhattan, Black Manhattan, Rob Roy

Manhattan. This cocktail is nicknamed the queen of cocktails.

The recipe was definitely on my mind. It wasn’t difficult to memorize.

Classic cocktails, especially whiskey-based cocktails. The recipe is simple.

It was really simple.

Without difficulty, whisk the whiskey, fortified wine and bitters with ice, strain the ice and pour into the glass.

However, the fact that the recipe is simple means that the taste can vary greatly depending on the quality of the ingredients and the skill of the bartender.

And in Dragon’s Rare, a franchise bar, not a hotel bar, it is impossible to bring out the taste of cocktails with the quality of ingredients.

They’re all factory-made chemical blends. High-quality whiskey can only go with a combination that tries to taste as close to high-quality whiskey as possible.

In any case, like a true detective, it seemed easy at first glance, but when I opened it, it was a very difficult spell.

If I make any mistakes, I’ll point them out right away.

As we saw with the last Fallen Angel, he was a self-proclaimed Holmes who was very obsessed with the basics of cocktails.

As a pro-level truth that has plagued numerous employees and bartenders, there is a high possibility that he will refuse to drink cocktails at all if it does not suit his taste even a little.

The feeling of meeting the boss from the tutorial.

I don’t know what Tony was thinking when he asked me to make a cocktail for this kind of person.

after.

After contemplating, with trembling hands, he grabbed a Jigger, an hourglass-shaped weighing tool.

yes, let’s do it I’m sure it’ll be alright
