401 Chapter 401 : Winning Side...

When both of them heard the bet, a fire ignited in their eyes showing their determination towards their own part.

Cana especially wanted to monopolise Ryouji for a night without interference...

Mira and the rest felt somewhat betrayed by this but seeing Erza's counterpart smirking for some reason they also wanted to wipe it out from the face...

Natsu, Happy, Gray and Gajeel the moment they saw two Ezras run into hiding behind Ur, Ultear, Levy, Lisanna and Mira while still giving sneak glances at them.

Cana : At first i thought i should test the waters but with such a bet going on i can't afford to lose now can i??

Sugarboy : What a coincidence i also thought the same...

Cana : Then there is only one thing to do...

Sugarboy : Indeed...

Both : Bring out the BEST and HEAVIEST BARREL YOU HAVE!!!

Knightwalker : Wait...

Ryouji : What is it??

Knightwalker : Just to be fair... Both will drink 2 different types of wines from the highest hottest edition...

Ryouji : Sure whatever...

Knightwalker : Good...

Knightwalker : BRING OUT MADEIRA AND SAKE!!!

Ryouji lightly twitched his eyes but none noticed it, he looked at Cana which had a smile on her face but he still had his doubts, so he went to the most knowledgeable person he knew...

Ryouji : Hey Mira, weren't you the one who served wines and the like in the Guild??

Mira : Um.. That's right...

Ryouji : Do you know those two??

Mira : I do know them however whether they have the same percentage of Alcohol in them that's out of my knowledge.

Mira : Madeira is fortified wine that is meant to be sipped just like port wines are. It uses many flavours like peach, caramel, hazelnut, and more.

Miea : This 20% wine usually is of five types–Sercial, Verdelho, Boal, Malvasia, and Rainwater. If you happen to come across a very old Madeira, you should just sip it to enjoy it instead of having it down in a contest.

Mira : As for Sake... It is actually a Rice wine that is made from the fermentation of rice starch that has been converted to sugars. Rice wine typically has an alcohol content of 18%–25% ABV.

Ryouji : How was Cana faring against those two particulars...

Mira : The one we had were the highest ones and after 3-4 of a barrel from Madeira she was drunk while from the sake it was 2/4...

Mira : That, however, was before you came into the Guild...

Mira : After everything that happened her body is 3-4 times stronger than before...

Ryouji : So that means perhaps she can handle 2 barrels from each wine??

Mira : Maybe...

As they were talking about both Cana and Sugarboy started drinking causing cheers among those that were watching...

What surprised Sugarboy was that he saw Cana switching the drinks, she was drinking one glass of Madeira and then one glass of Sake and kept going with the same pace...

Knightwalker : Hahahaha, your so-called girl decided to lose the match...

Ryouji : This isn't the end, keep watching...

They kept watching until 1 hour later, Sugarboy finished Madeira and then started Sake going by the same logic and if they thought that they were drinking at the same pace, Cana should be at the middle of each Barrel.

However at that moment, everyone noticed something, Sugarboy had started slowing down his pace for unknown reasons making Knightwalker somewhat nervous...

Knightwalker called two waiters in order to check how much they still had and looked at Ryouji to look for confirmation...

Since he was also curious, he let her do as she wanted and both waiters checked the amount the still had...

Just as they caught the barrels, Cana placed her glass on the table and waited for them to do their measure...

They put two brown long sticks inside the barrels and as they pulled them out they noticed that the ones who measured Cana came out stainless...

While the one who measured Sugarboy only one of them was stainless and the other indicated that he still had 1/10th of it left...
