'Cocktail Potion' by Transworld Transfer Bartenders

"To tell you the truth, I've always been a brilliant man."

Slightly slowing his pace, Guinura said. I'm walking a little behind him, so I can't see the look on his face. But somewhere, I thought it was a joke.

"Well, that sounds as if you're still good."

"Naturally. I'm still good at it."

"I can tell you without a reason. You're amazing."

The second half is a pretty serious compliment. I don't think anyone I know is anywhere but this guy who can tell me he's good without the back.

Guinura stopped fumbling there and turned around with all the sad eyes.

"But even though I was good, I wasn't special. I always knew that when I was a kid."

When I was a kid, the word reminds me of Sui and Viola.

They have known each other since childhood. And the opposite has not been true since I was a child.

In my imagination, I thought Guinura had been in love with Sui for a long time, and that's why she gave me the extra little one. But if you look at Guinura now, maybe a little different.

"I've always been a man at the center. It must be my father's glory now, but I was still in a position to be seen at first sight. And I lived up to that expectation myself."

I can't really imagine Guinura being at the center of people after all. But when I look at Guinura now, I can't even think that there was a past like that.

"And by then, I still believed I was a special person. No, until one time, maybe it was definitely special."

At one point, Ginulla asks me to try before she goes into the explanation of the word.

"Yugiri. How many people do you think can use magic in this world?

"... about 10%, huh?

"Hmm. Well, if you include people who can use preliminary magic, that's about it."

To my sensory answer, Guinura returns an affirmation.

Then, suddenly, I stood one finger up and chanted.

Magic of Fire. Spirit of destruction. "

At last, bright magic gathers at Guinura's fingertips. It was like a fluorescent light, floating in the darkness of the night.

"Light the lights. Torch."

Short chant, almost only the first pillow spell.

But the magical power of 'Salam', which was gathered at Guinura's fingertips, became a white fire that swayed with all sorts of shakes, lighting its surroundings blurry like a match.

When lit up by the lights, I understood Guinura's sad smiling face well.

"You, could you use magic?"

"Hmm. Not something I can be proud of to this extent. At best, it's enough to replace the initial magic device. Convenient, though."

When Pa and Guinura waved their fingers, the magic that was unfolding disappeared. Later, the air remains illusory as it has become darker.

"Still, I was 10% human. When I first taught magic in my childhood special class, I was the only one who could use it. Excellent grades, high physical ability and popularity, not to mention magical talent. I'm not going to make excuses, but it would be natural to think of myself as special"

After I say it, Guinura adds, again, until then.

But I already know. Who did Guinura say that time was when she met?

"And one day, rumors showed up the blue-haired girl I had heard. When I joined her in special classes, I approached her in isolation with good intentions. I'm going to teach you one trick and mix it up in a kid's circle."

"... So, what happened?

"You know what? I can't teach you anything. At that time, I tried to combine much more advanced magic than the teacher I was teaching in class. That witch."

The magic of Sui says that the majority of its foundations are self-study.

With the materials left behind by my late mother, the materials that I could read in the library, and my own ideas and thoughts, I was able to use magic, not to teach anyone.

Only with its overflowing talent, it combines advanced magic that no one can trace.

But it's just heresy if it's not the right environment to recognize that talent.

"I found out." Talent "is one of the strengths of ordinary people. The real 'talent' is what a special guy has had since birth"

A burning emotion for the past is a dull voice in Guinura.

I wanted to pinch my mouth, but I enjoyed it.

Because Guinura is supposed to be talking about this right now because of something quite like him.

"But at the time, I couldn't recognize Sui. To recognize her as special is at the same time to acknowledge that she is an ordinary person. I can't do that. You can't admit that in the life of Guinura Sansi until now. My family, my physical abilities, my popularity and my appreciation are all above me. I just lost one thing, magic, and for some reason, I thought they'd deny everything."

Slightly absurd, Guinura speaks slurredly.

It was like a confession somewhere. I want someone to forgive me for my past. I just want you to know. Such emotions seemed to fall zero out of his mouth as words.

"So I did not thoroughly acknowledge Sui. And I wondered if I could make her my own thing."

"... to my own?

"Oh. Because if she becomes my thing, her 'special' is my 'special' again. I thought that was the only way to stay special."

I didn't know what it felt like.

People don't become someone's thing. Even if it became someone's thing at last, there's no way that someone could be special about it.

But Guinura was desperate as a child. I guess I desperately tried to protect my position so far.

"Needless to say, the result. Every time I do something, my relationship with Sui is decisively broken. My reputation has fallen since I met her. [M] Still, I can't give up on her. Gradually it turns into a distorted appetite for exclusivity. I didn't even know why I was looking for Sui."

That's the cause of Sui and Guinura, which has been going on since childhood.

Sui probably didn't understand this Guinura feeling at all. Because even the person at the time says he didn't understand it well.

"In the end, Sui was recognized for his talent and was to leave the city. He said he was going to the highest demon court he had ever heard of a Shart Demon House. I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm just a little upset."

"Why?

"Because no matter how sui, I thought if I went to such an amazing place, I'd be 'just a normal person'. I don't think Sui is special, because I thought it would prove me wrong. And then I thought," Sui "in me would disappear."

But the results were different.

Sui was special, even at its peak magic yard.

He enrolls at the oldest in history and graduates at the youngest in history. accomplished the feat, and even called it one talent a thousand years.

That would have shattered Guinura's covert wishes.

"Then after a while, Sui came back to this city and said what a 'potion shop' he was going to start. I can't remember exactly how I felt then. But maybe, I thought it was a chance. Even in the field of 'magic', 'potion' can beat swi. It was supposed to increase my distorted appetite for exclusivity."

"... so, that attitude"

"Hmm. I couldn't even say that Sui's shop was making money for flattery. Even if she had talent, it wasn't directed at the potion. It's good for you. I thought if I used her well, I'd finally be special."

So once I cut the word, Guinura stares at me with a challenging eye.

"That's when you showed up. Yugiri."

The time I came to this world was when Suey ran a potion shop that didn't make any money.

It's about time I finally showed up in this world on the timeline Ginulla said.

"A man of unknown qualities who suddenly appeared was with Sui for some reason. And he said he was going to work with Sui to create a new 'potion'. I couldn't admit it. I thought that was what I would do. But what came out was something I didn't even think was a 'potion'"

I remember what Guinura said when she first saw the cocktail.

"How could it be a shallow idea like a poor man to have a 'potion' that tastes bad deceived with 'juice'?

"Yeah, totally. It wouldn't have been acceptable if it hadn't been more effective by chance."

Like ridicule, says Guinura. If it had been a long time ago, it would have been a serious mockery.

But now, it's just sarcasm. Ginulla was convinced that the 'cocktail' would spread only a short while ago.

Ginulla continued, seemingly slightly bored if I didn't react much.

"But in the end," Cocktail "was also something special. There's one more thing I don't want to admit. No, two."

"Two?"

"Cocktails and you. Mr. Yugini?"

Nostalgic mistake. It would have been done intentionally.

Speaking of which, when did this guy stop saying my name wrong?

"Now that I think about it, my feelings for Sui may have shifted from that time to the 'special' that Sui and you created, called 'cocktails'"

I never created the cocktail. I also decided to keep that kind of scratch later. Guinura's face looked like she still had something to talk about.

Now I'm going to listen to him as a bartender.

Because maybe this moment right now is the last opportunity to be a bartender against Guinura.
