Guinura's proposal had no reason to accept it or refuse it.

No, there's no reason to say no, is that too much? At least I don't want to be with Guinura if she asks me if I want to be with her.

Well, even so, I didn't even think Ginula would suddenly do something about me right now.

…………

…………

But when they ask if we can walk in a friendly chat, they don't.

Time slowed down and the number of people going on the road decreased. Street lights also shed light, and the sky's light became brighter by the look of it. Then I feel strange and the outside air cools down even more.

Walk in it, silently and without conversation, two men, and it's psychologically cold.

"... why do you think you look like that?"

There is no guarantee that I followed the same thought as I did, but Guinura said it so that she couldn't stand the cold.

"Well, then, all of a sudden you say weird things."

"From what I can tell, it's more because of your lack of crisis, why, but..."

I thought it was the usual irony, it's not.

What's in Guinura's eye, which is pointing toward me, looked like anger.

"Honestly, I wonder. Why are you so worried about cocktails as magic, but not cocktails as beverages"

"... that's a drink. You're not gonna hurt anybody."

To my answer, Ginula frowns in dissatisfaction. The sigh I vomited was stained white.

"Directly. But you're working with the Chamber of Commerce and the Lords. Your, no, Sui's philosophy is splendid, but there will be another big element involved."

"... If you're talking about money, I am"

"I know that too. I hear you're not going to make any money on this."

It was doubtful how Guinura knew about it, but it wasn't wrong.

We, Easys and the Lords, and the Safina Chamber of Commerce behind the Cravel, were going to do a great deal of business within this country.

Nevertheless, in large frames, the spread of cocktails, will mean.

The operation is divided into three parts.

First, the work of the 'Safina Chamber of Commerce'. Cravel's eye-catching 'carbonated beverages' are to be marketed to a large extent.

The Safina Chamber of Commerce seemed to recognize "carbonated drinks" as golden eggs even if they were not involved in "cocktails". There have been excessive turns, but the contract has been completed and the sales plan has already been drawn up and the publicity has begun.

In parallel, the lord uses his own connections to transmit the existence of a 'cocktail' outside at the level of inner rumors.

The premise that 'carbonated drinks' will succeed, but the existence of 'cocktails' will be widespread at the level of rumors.

That doesn't just stay within the potion industry.

Even though "Old" is the next level of attention in the potion industry right now, even though "Old" is the Dantoz. But if carbonated drinks spread, they could be spread even more as rumors that accompany them, I suppose.

Get that far and finally make a big announcement about the 'cocktail'.

The three who have been consulted so far, the financial power of the Safina Chamber of Commerce, and the connections of the Lords, make known the 'cocktail' under the name 'Sui Vermut', which is partly known.

In this regard, Sui was not dissatisfied with being made divine, but managed to persuade him. How much better than a guy like me who doesn't know better to be in the lead.

And, well, these are the three plans.

I explained it to a large extent, but I'm not very involved in the details of the operation. Especially with regard to the way the Safina Chamber of Commerce is advertised, the basics are asked to take the initiative there.

Anyway, if you take the three steps successfully, the 'cocktail' at the rumor-style rumor-level in the city will spread all over the country at once.

And slowly, it should be established as a beverage that everyone can easily enjoy.

I don't know why Guinura knows the plan, but he doesn't like it subtly.

"I'm not out of the realm of onboard theory yet, but the Chamber of Commerce is sensitive to the smell of gold. I guess the odds are huge. Still, you let go of all the 'wealth' that we're supposed to receive, right?

"... no, for that matter, I'm getting something like financial aid..."

"It's like a grain of sand compared to the amount of money we're going to move. You're going to do business that's going to rock the potion base of this country, no, this world."

As always, there is no joke color on Guinura's face.

As for the fact that I didn't ask for money, I'm just stunned. But then his expression, like rocking this country, was really serious.

"Commerce is war. You may not be aware, but the advent of 'cocktails' will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the potion market"

Respond to the words of the heavy Guinura, to be illustrative.

"It's also one of the aims. But the purpose of Sui..."

"It's not. Sui's purpose may be to help people in need from now on. But for sure, there will be people in trouble before then."

People in trouble before that. That's what they said, and for a moment that person didn't come to mind.

But I realized that was the proof that I hadn't thought deeply about it.

Man in trouble by the advent of a cocktail, it......

"I don't even have to think about it. These are the people who benefit from the 'potion' today. I'm talking about what people would think if they found out about the existence of a cocktail."

It was too obvious a conclusion.

Changing the potion industry means taking away the profits of those who have benefited so far there.

In some cases, you might buy as much grudge as you want.

Nevertheless, it should be true that cocktails and potions are difficult to compete with.

That's an assessment at the potion review.

A small potion of habit that is easy for anyone to swallow and a chunk of personality cocktail that is made for one person. These two seem similar and completely different.

That's why the two can coexist. That kind of conclusion should have been made at the review meeting.

"I'll tell you what, 'potion shops' like the ones at the reviews don't shake with the appearance of cocktails. Anyway, it's like I have something to announce at a quality review meeting. At the time of the appearance of the cocktail, consider one or two good measures. Even if you haven't won the prize."

Guinura mocked herself, she said.

He still hasn't forgotten that he ended up with the Excellence Award in a tournament aimed at the Best Award.

"But there are also potion shops with no progress. They're just people who use the 'legacy' that their predecessors have built up until then to suck sweet juice. Such guys are devastated by the appearance of cocktails. Of course. There's no big deal, just a sweet look at the customers and they've lived happily ever after without thinking."

With the advent of cocktails, the potion market changes.

Some make good use of it to make progress, while others sink under incitement.

"So far you'll see. To the fact that your most recent and important concern is not 'guns', but a more familiar part."

When I unexpectedly remembered the beginning of the story, it was a question of why Guinura followed me on my way home.

And what Guinura said was the story of a potion shop who would be incited by our actions.

When you connect those two, you get an answer that you don't really want to welcome.

"I mean, you think that 'no potion shop' is going after me knowing the rumors?

"Well, I don't know if it's going to strike all of a sudden. However, you may have a little idea."

"... Mr. Noine's, one thing"

That was over six months ago now.

There was a case of Neune, mistaken for Sui, being kidnapped.

In the end, the kidnappers caught say someone they didn't know well asked them to kidnap. Apparently, that 'bar', which is just as crude, was what he was instructed to do as well.

"So you recognize yourself as a little more central to the cocktail."

Guinura followed me on my way home, which means that's why.

Really, I followed you to protect me from cocktails.

"... tell me you don't like cocktails..."

"Don't get me wrong. I'm not interested in cocktails. But I'm not going to be swallowed up by a cocktail, that's all."

This time, it didn't seem like a template reaction.

Because until then, Guinura, who looked basically grumpy, more distorted her lips, like the bad guy who plotted something.

"I mean, when the cocktail spreads, we're talking about what the hell 'potion' is used for the base. There's no way we're going to shut up about this obvious opportunity. Most of the people who admitted 'cocktails' at potion reviews are moving"

Saying, Guinura leaked her hun and nose at the tightening.

I was having a little fun with it.

Until now, I've never had a very good impression of Guinura. but he seemed like a different person from when we first met.

As always, I don't think we're going to get along. Still, he already seemed like the kind of special person he had said himself earlier.

"Something's changed, you."

"You're no different in a bad way. All I see is cocktails."

It hurts to be pointed out to Guinura, but in fact, I was reflecting a little.

Indeed, walking alone in the present situation might have been unthinkable.

"... Hmm. If you know what I mean, I'm leaving."

Now they read my reflection, and Guinura tells me to throw it away. Then he walks out on his own without even checking if I'm following him. There's no reason to stop, so I'll follow suit.

I don't even walk side by side. If you saw someone you didn't know, you wouldn't think you knew him.

I thought we had said what we wanted to say, so I thought I'd be silent from here again.

But Guinura surprisingly betrayed that prediction.

"Hey Yugiri. I listened to you today. No doubt about it, huh?

"... oh"

It was solitary, some parts of my body, but they leave that aside.

When I affirmed, Guinura said with the same dignified attitude but still a slightly weaker tone.

"Then hang out with me a little bit. We're drunk with each other today. So tomorrow we'll forget it beautifully."

I don't see Guinura's face.

I don't even know what look he's giving this suggestion with right now.

But even if I checked that, if they cut me out at this time, I wouldn't say no.

"Good. If you just ask, you're good at it."

"Then shut up and listen. Let's talk about the old days."

With all due respect, Guinura still has nothing to turn around.

Still, his words had reached his ears enough on the road of the night like only two people were walking.
