325-293 Party day (3)

"Nao, have you been drinking?

"No, I'm not drinking, but ......, Yuki, are you okay?

As if he had been waiting for Tommy to return from drinking with Gantz and the others, Yuki came in with a bright red face.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've.

I'm sorry, I brought some alcohol, Yuki said .......

"Oh, that bottle of... Did you have a weakness for alcohol, Yuki?

The one who answered me was Yuki, who was waving her hands helplessly.

"Huh?　I'm not weak at all.

I'm not asking a drunk.

She nodded with a chuckle and held out the bottle she was holding.

She nodded with a wry smile and held out the bottle she was holding. "It was an easy drink, and I think I drank a little too much. ......

The bottle had only about a third of the alcohol left in it.

It wasn't a bottle, but it was a bottle larger than a wine bottle.

I poured a little bit of it into a glass and tried to drink it. ...... Yes, it's very easy to drink.

It has a fruity aroma, is it a fruit wine?

But the alcohol content seems to be quite high.

"Oh, this is a little strong. Isn't it like sake?

Natsuki nodded as she took the cup out of my hand and took a sip.

Well, I shouldn't ask why Natsuki can compare it to sake, should I?

Just like he knew how to make sake.

"Mr. Diora, that was a pretty good price, wasn't it?　This sake.

...... We're celebrating, so you've staked out a bit of ground.

Perhaps it's a matter of brewing technology, but the ales that are commonly drunk around here have a much lower alcohol content.

And we've never seen any spirits.

Maybe it's because we're not really interested in alcohol.

"If you drink this much, you'll get drunk even if you're not weak. Excuse me, we've just started, but I'm going to go put Yuki to bed.

Oh, I'm fine.

Yuki, if you don't want to die later, just listen to me. Here we go.

"Uh, yeah, okay. ......

Yuki looked unhappy because of Natsuki's strong advice, but she obediently walked back into the house with Natsuki's hand.

I'm sorry, I should have stopped her a little earlier. ...... I guess I wasn't as used to drinking as I thought I was.

We shake our heads at Diora's apology.

You don't need to worry about it, it's your responsibility.

We don't drink nearly as much as we used to.

We don't drink nearly enough. - We'd rather have good food than drink.

Well, I mean ......, Toya, you should stop. You know Yuki doesn't drink much alcohol, right?

I didn't know it was alcohol. I didn't know it was alcohol. I was just gulping it down. It's hard to tell with the smell of alcohol all around.

Well, Tommy and his friends are having a party around the keg.

Well, Tommy and his friends are having a party around the barrel.

But, Haruka-san. But, Haruka-san, you can heal them, can't you?　With magic?

Yes, I can. And Natsuki too, by the way.

Come to think of it, there's Cure Poison, right?

Alcohol is also a poison. Can you cure it with that?

"Then let me cure you...

"Let Yuki suffer a hangover and learn her lesson. Isn't that what you think, Natsuki?

...... Well, that's one way to think about it. There are many people who make mistakes with alcohol.

Even if you can cure it, too much alcohol is not good for you.

Besides, it's not always possible to have Haruka or Natsuki by your side.

Considering that, I guess Haruka's idea is reasonable.

--Yeah, I'll be careful too.

I'll be careful too. Yuki was still in a good mood, but I don't want her to get drunk in a strange way.

I'll die of embarrassment if I start crying or something in public.

But, Haruka. But, Haruka-san, you don't have to force yourself to drink, but it might be better if you could drink a little.　For the future.

Is that what it is?

When you go to a party, there will be alcohol. When the host offers you a drink, you can't avoid drinking it. Didn't Nao-san and Haruka-san attend a wedding party?

"You know very well. I was the chaperone of Master Ilias at that time. I didn't drink much, just a little something to moisten my mouth.

"Besides, you don't get that chance very often. You're an adventurer, you don't get a chance to go to a real party.

No, I don't know, do I?

".........

I'm sure you don't, but you're making me nervous, Diora.

I'm afraid it's a flag.

I'm not sure if it's a flag or not.

In the first place, the reason why Haruka and I decided to join the party was because of Diora-san.

I'm not sure if I should listen to this advice or not.

What about you, Diora?　What about you, Diora? Did something happen with the drinks at the party?　You're a nobleman, aren't you?

Toya's unreserved question may have been a bit of innuendo.

But Mr. Diora smiled with a perfect smile.

No, not at all. I've never gotten drunk, have I?

.........

Well, it's true that I can't imagine Diora getting drunk ......, but when you say it so crisply, I want to say something.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

You can find a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier.

I'm not sure what to do.　I'm not sure if it's because I'm not married!　I'm not sure.　If I get drunk and end up like Yuki, will I want to marry her?

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

"No.

With Haruka right in front of me, there's no other answer I can give.

"Your age?　Is it because I'm too old?

It's before that!　Even if she looks s*xy, I don't want to marry her out of the blue!

Is it wrong to be impatient? ......

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.

It's a good idea to take a look at your own personal life and the way you live it.

Well, it's good that things have calmed down. .......

But just as the fire was about to die down, some idiot poured oil on it.

It was Toya.

But, you know, a woman like Diora, who is too perfect, can be hard to get close to.

"What?　Then what about you, Haruka?　I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

No, I'm not perfect at all.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

"Looks!　Very beautiful!　Work!　I can do it!　Earn money!　Nothing to say!　Cooking!　Like a pro!　Isn't she perfect? I bet you can do housework too, right?　And even if you can't, you can do it with light magic, right?　I'm sure you can't even see me!

--Oh?　You can't deny it, can you?

You can't deny it, can you?

As for the money and the work, let's put that aside, but as for the other things...

Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm just a half-wit. I'm only a little good at my job, I'm not half as good looking, I'm not half as good at my rank, I'm not half as good at earning money. I'm generally unattractive. ......

You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few things to do.

(Hey, Toya. Follow me.

I'm not sure what to say.　(Didn't I start the fire, Haruka?)

You're the one who poured the oil.　In the first place, how can I or Haruka follow you?　(With the content of that complaint)

(...... is impossible. Definitely fuel. I'm sure you're right. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it.

Toya shrugged his shoulders lightly and walked over to Diora, patting her on the back and leading her towards the table.

"Well, well, Mr. Diora. Let's have a drink today!　You're having a hard time at work, aren't you?　I'll listen to you complain and we'll get it all out today!　See?

Diora looked up at Toya and gave her a slightly relieved look.

Diora looked up at Toya and said, "You're very kind. I wish I had met someone like you ten years ago.

"Oh, I'm getting a bride with beast ears.

Hey!

I know you like beast ears.

I know you like beast ears, but how can you say that in this situation?

Oh, my God!　What about me? I know you like beast ears, but how can you say that in this situation?

...... Diora, you said you don't get drunk, but I think you're actually drunk.
