Slightly better, total

Hmm?

Viola stopped me while the party was over and the crowd was waiting for me.

It was just the right time for Sui and Sally to take off a little (go pick flowers), so I may have targeted them.

Viola briefly tells me what she thinks.

"There are a few things I want to report to the general public."

"Just me?"

"Oh, I'm not saying it's none of your business, but it's none of your business."

When you take off the swing and become me, it's more about the bartender than the potion.

And Viola urges me to follow her in action.

I get a little lost and ask.

"How long will it take? If it takes a little, I want to tell Sue and Sally first."

Um, that's right, too.

As I put it, Viola looked a little worried.

Then, he answers with a face that immediately resolves his concerns about whether he has passed some kind of simulation in his head.

"Well, let's do it tomorrow. It would be better if it were as soon as possible, but it would be fine if it were for a day or so."

"I don't know, but I got it.Tomorrow morning, okay? "

"Oh, I'll tell him tomorrow morning."

"Tell?"

The words didn't sound like Viola's personal business.

"Oh, Lord, I need to speak to you."

"Wait. Okay, I'll be right there."

I thought it was a personal report from Viola, but from the lord, it could be even more serious.

Seeing as I've turned my back, Viola will have a little fun too.

"No, I really don't mind tomorrow."

"No, I haven't seen you since the battle with the lord myself, and I'd like to say hello when it's my birthday."

To tell the truth, I was concerned that the lord didn't show his face to the party.

I was just worried because I didn't have much to do with the aftertreatment, but I would like to say one of the congratulations directly today.

"Well, look, here we are."

That said, Viola will take me away from the scene.

I looked around with flickers, but I still couldn't see Sue and Sally.

The message to Sue and Sally ended up asking the apprentice who was nearby.

"Hey, Soo-kun, you're out of time."

"No, I'm not going to say hello."

"Ha, ha. You just took care of my work."

As always, in the small reception room for talking to close people, we had a one-time greeting on the street.

The Lord I met for the first time in a long time looked a little better than the last time I saw him.

The last time I saw him was just before the battle.Afterwards, the aftertreatment should have been busy, but it was still trivial compared to the Demon King's anxiety.

Viola looked at it and tried to leave her seat, but the lord stopped gently.

"Stay with Viola. You're a party in a way, so you should listen to it."

"Yes, sir."

The lord's voice towards Viola was kinder than I thought.

As for a knight, I feel a little warm.

Because it is like my daughter's personal escort, is it very familiar?

"Well, there are two reasons why I called Sokun, but let's talk about it because it's easier and I have a headache."

"Yes"

The word "easy" caught my head, but I waited to hear the story.

"Before we talk, first of all, my personal thanks.Thank you for your proactive efforts to spread the word "cocktail" to this world.Some of the city's tavern owners are also taking the initiative to learn new technologies, and this is the first time that not only our Knights apprenticeships, but also a wide range of people have been exposed to "cocktails" and accepted as a culture born out of the city. "

That's how the lord bowed his head to me.

I'll give it back, confused by the sudden.

"Raise your head. Because what I do is not for the city or for that purpose, but for my personal satisfaction.It's not like being thanked. "

"I thought you said that, but I must thank you very much for the good impact you have had on the city.It will also be the Lord's duty. "

"But cocktails aren't what I thought they were."

"That's not important either.Bringing a good culture from elsewhere is something that should be appreciated, even if it is linked to history. "

That's what the lord said and didn't give up.

Sometimes comparisons are made here.Above all, this is a personal thank you before the subject.

"Okay, thank you so much for helping me with the cocktail."

Ah.

As a result, I gave up and received thanks, and the lord raised his face quietly.

What I saw on that face was a rather bitter expression.

"I'm very sorry to have to tell you after that personal thank you."

…………

"You may be prepared, but you have to say it.I am obliged to report the 'cocktail' as a military-convertible technology, as the responsibility of the lord, who was entrusted by the Royal Family. "

"... that's..."

"Yeah, I know you don't want 'cocktails' like that.Still, the "cocktail" in the future will be very conscious of its magical aspects. "

I wasn't unprepared.

In the first place, just after I first used "cocktails" as magic, Sui also told me.

This "cocktail" has the potential to transform the magic that has only been used by wizards into something that all humans can handle.

At that time, after all, [ammunition] alone could not be used as proper magic, so the story was as if it had flowed.

But not now.

The wizard, the droid, and the elf twisted their heads to a practical level.

When I was able to do that, I was worried about publishing it and put it on hold for a while.

However, in the crisis in the city, we made an irreversible public announcement.

From that point on, I was ready.

"Of course, I know."

I got stuck when I nodded a little.

It's a good story about insects. Until now, I have fought scattered and magically using cocktails.

At this stage, I'm not convinced that cocktails are spreading as a magic means of fighting.

Unlike when I was in business, I was found out, and I made the lord look painful.

"Of course, I will do my best to make" cocktails "familiar not only as magic but also as" potions "and" favorites. "I don't know how much peace of mind you can feel with words like mine, but I want you to be a little more relaxed. "

"Yes, thank you."

Though you may not feel exactly the same way as me, the lord himself has an unparalleled feeling about cocktails.

Anyway, I've been enjoying Smiley's potion (Parfait Thamur) as a favorite since before I came to this world.

Neither would he want his hobby "cocktail" to be used exclusively for military purposes.I also plan to sell it as a specialty of this city.

Did you notice that I took it a little lighter? The lord jokes lightly.

"Though it may be quicker for you to offer a full cocktail to His Majesty than for me to say a thousand words."

"Ha ha, I wish I had the chance."

I have never met the king of this land.

However, I remember that the prince ordered me to stop the dragon zombie at the end of my life without sending any rescue, so I have a bad impression.

Well, the royal kaiser, Rosemary, asked me to escort the evacuees for free, so I don't feel like the royal family alone, but the prince alone.

And that's how I felt, but the lord keeps going out of his mind.

"No, I'm sure we've heard the credit of this Dragon Zombie Crusade.It's not a joke, maybe there's a chance. "

"... I see."

Sure, if they say so.

The orders that were given to this city were "buy time with your lives and I don't mind defeating you", but we responded to them enough.

The opponent may have had unexpected results, but the city can't do it without a reward.Should there be contact in any way?

The lord coughed when I realized I wasn't thinking enough.

"Well, I suppose we need to talk about Swiss around here.So leave it alone, it's the subject. "

Ha.

I thought the subject was an apology for the military use of cocktails, but apparently not.

The lord narrowed his eyes sharply.I thought it was unusual for him to show "hostility" to something so easily.

"Do you remember when you and Viola investigated The Illegal Bar?"

"Yes"

It was a sudden talk, but something came to mind right away.

That was before we officially started cocktail lessons at the Lord's Hall.

Certainly, the potion used for cocktails is a drug that requires notification for handling, and there are shops that offer cocktails without making that notification.

Most of the shops were unaware of it, and after participating in the course, permission was obtained, but one shop, and its location, was not well grasped.

After all, the man who worked at the shop was later captured after mistaking him for Swiss and kidnapping Neuine.He said that he was only working under the instructions of someone.At that time, it was said that the Knights had also found the person who was circulating information outside, but there was no connection to the mastermind.

From there on, I promised to tell you as soon as I knew.

"So you've reached the main point where you ordered the illegal bars to run?"

"Yes, it took a long time."

One sigh.

Then the lord tells him to lurk his voice with a serious voice.

There was a man in the back named Rugweed.

"Rugweed?"

I searched a little in my head, and there was a name that came to mind.

I offered [Million Dollar] a while ago.

A wealthy man named after the lord's acquaintance.
