“Drink it more slowly and taste it. It’s very good liquor. If you can’t tell by the taste then you must be drunk.” (Arnos)
Sasha drinks the water slowly and tastes it before nodding as if understanding something.
“Yeah, its really good liquor. What’s it called?” (Sasha)
Water.
“Demon king sake. It’s a liquor that not everyone can taste.” (Arnos)
“I like it.” (Sasha)
Sasha takes her time drinking it like its high-class liquor.
“Sasha is a bad drunk.” Misha whispers to me.
“So it seems.” (Arnos)
Misha holds her glass with both hands and keeps drinking from it.
“You okay Misha?” (Arnos)
“Using Detoxification <Iis>.” (Misha)
I see. Because alcohol can be classed as a poison it’s removed by the spell.
“Hey, that’s a no-no Misha-chan. Using detoxification magic when drinking is no fun.” (Eleonor)
Eleonor raises her finger and reproves her.
Misha blinked as if embarrassed.
“Alcohol makes me go all light and fluffy.” (Misha)
“That’s fine. Light and fluffy is cute.” (Eleonor)
Misha looks at me.
“Really?” (Misha)
“First time I’ve heard that.” (Arnos)
“Hey Arnos-kun. You should have said it was cute.” (Eleonor)
“I’d be in trouble if I was drunk and an emergency happened. You don’t need to force someone weak with alcohol to get drunk. I don’t know what it means to become cute with alcohol but if they are already cute they don’t need the power of alcohol.” (Arnos)
“Wow how boring. Such a rejection from the demon king.” (Eleonor)
Eleonor laughs. She doesn’t seem any different but I’m sure she’s drunk.
“Hey Misha-chan. Because its peaceful you can get drunk. Because Arnos-kun isn’t used to peace we need to teach him.” (Eleonor)
Misha looks at me for a moment then at Eleonor.
“….Try to get drunk…..” (Misha)
Misha began taking big gulps of the Holy Dimira and her face gradually turns red.
“Arnos.” (Misha)
“You okay?” (Arnos)
Misha nods.
“Have you become peaceful?” (Misha)
“What?” (Arnos)
Misha points at herself.
“I?” (Misha)
Ahh, you’re totally drunk.
“Feel foggy.” (Misha)
“Try to keep it in moderation.” (Arnos)
“……..Nn…..” (Misha)
Following my words, Misha starts taking just little sips at a time.
“What are you drinking Misha? Is it delicious?” (Sasha)
Sasha unsteadily totters over.
“Tasty.” (Misha)
“That liquor. Can I have some too?” (Sasha)
Misha looks at me.
“Let Sasha have some more demon king sake.” (Arnos)
“Nn.” (Misha)
Misha fetched Sasha some more water.
“Here Sasha.” (Misha)
“Oh there was still some demon king sake left. Thank you.” (Sasha)
Sasha drinks the water with great relish.
On the opposite side of the table, Ray finished off a bottle of Holy Dimira.
“You don’t seem to be drinking. Don’t you like alcohol?” (Ray)
Ray addresses Misa who still has a full glass of Dimira.
“Ahaha. I’m not sure. I accidentally drank some as a child and even now those memories make me feel sick so ever since then I tried not to drink……” (Misa)
“Yeah might be better to not overdo it.” (Ray)
Ray empties his glass.
“Shall I pour you some more?” (Misa)
Misa takes the bottle of Holy Dimira and refills Rays glass.
“Do you like drinking Ray-san?” (Misa)
“Not really but I kind of miss it. A long time ago there were days when I couldn’t sleep so I drank.” (Ray)
Misa’s face darkens. She pursed her lips as if she wanted to say something and looked down.
Ray closed his mouth. Did he understand what Misa was thinking?
After a few seconds of silence, he speaks.
“Misa-san.” (Ray)
At that moment Misa drank the glass of Dimira in one go.
Ray looked taken aback.
“…..Errm, are you okay drinking that much in one go….?” (Ray)
Misa stood up vigorously as Ray looked at her anxiously.
Her face was pale.
“…..I’m sorry but……I really shouldn’t drink after all…..” (Misa)
Misa held her hand over her mouth and ran outside.
