'Cocktail Potion' by Transworld Transfer Bartenders

"Let me hear it. What you say."

Phil, Sally, and Rasquil's conversation began with those quiet words.

It's a high-pressure start. But I don't see you two complaining about it.

A subtle silence drifts on the spot.

I couldn't have stayed there, but I was watching out while I was making a lagging cocktail.

"I'm going to tell you straight to the point. Please accept our discretion."

In the midst of tension, it was Phil who said it first.

Always is. It's only when it's hard for Phil to say that he makes his point clearly.

And then Sally builds momentum on that path Phil cut open.

"Your mother would've had a 'cocktail', too, wouldn't she? Then you know how valuable that cup is to us."

To Sally's words, Rasquil answered honestly, yes.

"You can tell by the boulders. Originally, even though we vampires can only replenish 'magic' from the creature's blood, 'cocktails' can ignore its constraints. And from what I've heard, all you need to master it is technology"

"And above all, it's delicious, isn't it?

"... Yep. Exactly."

To Sally's sobering grin, Rasquil adapted to a bitter laugh.

To my mind, was Sally the first reason she said she wanted to learn was because it was useful or delicious? If that's the case, I'm sure the intentions around there are similar.

Thinking about it, I move my hands and make a few cocktails. Even as Rye is being called to take it to the table, the conversation proceeds.

"It will certainly be good for our country as well. It also eliminates the need to tie humans to pranks."

"... as always, you have human shoulders for a long time. Well, good."

To Phil's words, his mother has a slightly more open-minded look.

But then Sally folded it up and said it clearly.

"If we train here, when we get back to the country, your mother can always taste the wine she's been drinking. That's good enough for your mother."

…………

"So would you like to acknowledge our training?

Yes. That is the final point of persuasion in this' cocktail '.

My aim is to teach the delicacy of 'cocktails' and make them recognize their value.

If that's possible, having your siblings here turns out to be Rasquil's 'gain'.

Whatever the reason you're here to bring your brothers and sisters back, if you have any expectations of exceeding that, you must acknowledge the status quo.

Because the only right thing to do is to make you both want to stay here.

"I understand very well."

Slightly from silence, Rasquil nodded and said.

"If that's all you have to say, admit that you two train to make 'cocktails'"

Moment after moment, my siblings' time did stop.

When I found out I convinced my mother, I finally found the emotion in the two of them moved.

The two, not grieving tears in their eyes, stared at their mother.

And I open my mouth to say thank you.

"Yes, sir."

"It's just a different matter of whether you're staying here or not."

Huh?

I was listening and I almost accidentally dropped the bottle in my hand.

I rushed back to grasp, and I turned my eyes firmly to my parents and children, not insignificantly.

For a moment, Rasquil and I meet each other.

The chills broke out of my body.

"What are you talking about? Mother? Don't stay here, how do you train...... no way!?

Phil also had his suspicious eye on those irrational words, but along the way, he roughed up his voice as if he noticed something.

Rasquil hasn't panicked either.

I told him to state the facts inside me pale.

"There's a quicker way than waiting for you to grow up."

She looks this way again. Me and Rasquil's eyes met again.

Now clearly, she was staring at me.

At that moment, I understood, too.

Tell me where there was a big hole in this operation.

How could I have sidestepped the testimony of my brothers and sisters that I was' in the self 'and only seen Rasquil as a' mother '?

There's no guarantee that she won't want 'what's already there'.

"We just need to get your bartender back to my country."

Her eyes, I said, were like seeing 'things'.

But that's never all.

For the sake of words, it's not cold. The innocence of the child dwelt in its eyes, in front of his favorite toy.

Her words echo quietly and well in the store.

Until then, both the regular people who had a pleasant conversation and the parents and children at the table would easily imagine only that something was going on in this setting.

With that attention, Rasquil kept on saying the words for fun.

"Actually, I've been thinking about it since the beginning. I thought it was a strong drink earlier. I must definitely take you back to my country."

"Mother! Do what you will!

Before I pinch my mouth, Sally also denounces my mother's insanity.

There is no reason why you can decide such a thing on your own without consulting the store.

Everyone can see which is the justification for the occasion.

Yet.

"─ Shut up."

It was a bottom-cold, disturbing voice.

Until then, it's not like a caring mother.

Tyrants.

For a purpose, I have no hesitation whatsoever in exercising the means I want, the figure of a monarch.

To its force, the brothers and sisters were easily drunk. I can only shut the mouth of the objection and convey the will of rebellion with just my eyes.

Of course such a thing makes no sense before the silver queen, who unleashes an overwhelming sense of intimidation.

She turned her soothingly pretty face to me.

"I won't put bad terms on it. Let me make you my favorite."

It's a luscious invitation, dragging every heart and soul into it.

If I'd been here without a second thought, I might have snorted by accident.

But there was a woman between me and Rasquil who was quietly blocked.

"I won't tolerate that."

Sui stood quietly in front of me and stared at Rasquil.

"Oh, speaking of which, did you say you were a guardian?

"Yes. And the total is part of an important store. I won't let you take him on your own. Phil and Sally stay here, too, more than the total won't leave. I only have a problem with what you're saying."

"... you'll tell me a lot."

The words of Sui certainly contained a similar force to that of Rasquil earlier.

Sui quietly, Rasquil peeks into each other's eyes for fun.

Eventually, it was Rasquil who leaked his smile and said the words first.

"Sure, you... I don't even know what Mr. Suey said"

"Of course."

"So now shall I take the deal from me"

"Deal?"

Sui tilts his neck small and has time to ask for an explanation.

Rasquil nodded small and told him lightly.

"It's easy. All I have to do is ask your bartender directly. If Mr. Bartender nods at my favor, I'll take him. Isn't that easy?

"... that's, well... but...?

"What's the deal with that?

Me and Suey probably had the same feeling.

That's just persuasion, not calling it a deal. Well, at that stage, Sui also has the right to hold back, so I don't know if that means taking it away.

But only two people on this occasion were desperately trying to stop the deal.

There's blood on his head, and Sui, who only sees Rasquil, hasn't noticed.

But Phil and Sally, to that deal, are shaking their heads.

Don't take it, as I say it's a devil's invitation.

"Wait a minute, Sui--"

I saw how you two were, and I was about to speak to her.

"Oh, now it's a master's take!

"That's good, Sui! Or are you not sure?

The people who wanted to interact like that were here.

As usual, a shout from a guest who thought it was a spectacle or something scratches my voice off.

That's what happened because we're still at the customer stage.

Stirred around, Sui blushes cuttingly.

I guess it's because I realized earlier that I was being seen desperate for just one clerk.

She stares at a customer who has thrown words with a serious attitude to customer service and then nods.

"Okay. I don't know what you want, but..."

"Sui!"

"Huh?"

It was too late when I panicked to pull it off.

She looks surprised when she suddenly thinks I've heard from her.

But my gaze quickly shifted from Sui to behind it.

There was a smile there, like a glossy beauty's, adding misery to her grin until then.

"I told you, didn't I? You did snort, didn't you? Because it's a promise, I won't make excuses. This is a legitimate contract."

To Rasquil's words, Sui turns to her hastily.

"Wait a minute..."

"Shut the fuck up."

─ ─ ─ ─

Sue lost her word.

No, I'm willing to talk. But I can't do that.

As a result of vampires taking their word for it, they couldn't speak out for the deal.

Her condition looked like that.

Rasquil stood up from his chair and pointed his gaze straight at me.

"Come on, Mr. Bartender. Would you listen to me?

Her eyes, like a candle fire, shook and looked.

No, that can't be right. My consciousness is shaking.

My head boggles badly.

I don't know why, I can't take my eyes off her.

In the corner of my head, I was reminded of a sentence when I examined a vampire in the library.

Dominance of the family, by 'charm'.

Well, that's what makes her men obey her words.

That's a darker thing, colored by the word 'charm'.

It's like a compulsion order, by magic.

So her butler, Trias, can do herself harm with every word she says.

Her relatives, no matter how deep-handed they are, stand up with one word.

And if you can hit the magic directly, you can inhibit Phil, Sally, and Suey's behavior.

Earlier deals are never reciprocal deals.

It was just a forward gesture to force me to obey by magic.

And I just realized that I can't do anything about it.

Do you know or not that my consciousness has arrived at that answer?

Rasquil shivered his lips with gloss.

"Please. Be my thing."

The words came into my head from my eyes, from my ears.

And I...

─ ─ I was feeling a headache called Zukin and Zukin.
