'Cocktail Potion' by Transworld Transfer Bartenders

"... Huh"

I was blurry looking down the road, and I bit the yawn I was about to get out of.

The season is about to change from winter to spring. The wind blowing still leaves the cold darker, but the sun shining is getting warmer.

I mean, on a sunny day without wind, it's drowsiness to be upset outside.

"It's lame to be sleeping in the daytime"

"You won't have a choice. Even now, it's a one-legged profession at night."

Sui, who had the same view of the road next to me, sobered me.

But there was something a little unintelligible because she also had the usual faceless expression - or a slightly narrowed, sleepy face.

Now, if you tell me what me and Sui are doing, we're waiting for people. This is a stop where bigger carriages come like humans coming from the outside.

Unlike Tsuji carriages, which are used to travel around the city, it is a place where regular flights are stopped with a firm scheduled arrival time.

If you say who you're waiting for there, needless to say.

Albao and the companion he was talking about. Me and Sui are waiting in this place to welcome those two.

"It's supposed to come."

"Are you behind?

"Mmm. A little."

Apparently, the carriage arrived a little late.

Secondly, I'm worried that Albao's carriage is in some kind of accident.

Anyway, these days, I hear stories everywhere that demons are active. It would be somewhat safe if it were a well-used human road, like the carriage running, but what if?

I thought that far, but I shook off that prediction.

In the first place, Albao is a wizard.

I know his magic skills. As far as I know, the magic was the masterful next to the confused sui next door.

Assuming you were attacked by one or two demons, you wouldn't have to worry.

"Oh, here we are."

And where I was worried uselessly, Sui speaks up.

When I saw it, a two-headed carriage was running towards our stop.

"Hey total. Long time no see."

"Albao seems fine and above all else."

A large carriage in front of you that can carry more than one person. From that window, a young man with brown hair waved as he rode out his body a little bit.

He is the Albao Graysnor. It's one of the guests we've been waiting for today.

After a light greeting, Albao once pulls into the carriage. Is there something you are talking about with your companion? Then soon, he comes out of the carriage on his own with his traveling luggage on his back.

"It's been about a year, I guess"

Albao said, with a flamboyant grin. Little has changed with him in my memory, but the atmosphere may have calmed down just a little.

"I don't think it's been a very long time since I've had a good exchange."

"Right. Still, this is how you see your cheerful face."

That's how me and Albao gently rejoiced, and he turned his gaze to the person next to me.

Until then, she shut up, too, and nodded small with her gaze pointed.

"Long time no see, Albao. I haven't seen you face to face since the Tabernacle."

"... Oh, it's been awhile. Thank you for everything in that verse."

The air between them is just a little stiff.

From what I've seen, Sui is no different than usual. However, I feel that Albao is a little more distant to Sui.

But it doesn't feel like I'm bad. I'm just simply looking up at Sui a little bit, you know?

In close words, it's a little atrophic, something like that.

"How's it going? I didn't expect to teach you how to make unattributed potions."

It's unusual for a swim, shaking the topic lightly from yourself. I'd love to learn more about it, but while I was training, I really needed it and Albao was going to ask Sui how to make a non-attribute potion.

I'm impressed because Albao was a little pathetic swinging by Sui's mysterious theory.

In contrast, Albao made him laugh lightly and bitterly as he made a joke.

"I didn't think I'd be taught about potions by Sui, either."

"... what do you mean?

"I'm not going to say anything to the chairman."

Sui pointed his lips slightly at Albao's words, which he let slip away slightly.

In my memory, the Chartress Magic Academy, where the two graduated, is like a magic school with a strong meritocracy dimension.

I can only imagine what the relationship was between the talented type of Albao and the genius type of Sui, but in a relationship like that with my best friend or something, well, I wouldn't have.

As far as I know, Sui is the girl who took the chair with extra talent to make up for it while only the potion grades are at the bottom.

In contrast, Albao is a young man who has scored well above average in all items and has rightly reached the third seat position.

Is that why it feels like we have a subtle part of each other?

Most importantly, Arbao's remarks earlier are not so much disgusting. Wherever we think of each other, it feels like we're close enough to tell each other a joke.

"Let me tell you something from me, it's stranger that Albao got into the path of potion. 'Cause it seemed more like something I liked or something."

Sui said with a slightly less interesting face.

Given the earlier grades, certainly neither of them will bother to go down the potion path.

Even so, these two are working on potions.

I don't even know why Albao chose a job involving potions.

"I wonder why. I don't think that meant much. It just so happens that the most fascinating thing about doing magic research ahead was the white oak."

"Phew."

Sui had responded carelessly to Albao's choice, which was largely solid compared to Sui's.

I want to save people all over the world, what a long and dreamless choice compared to Sui's wishes. Maybe, but there would be a slightly more reactive response.

"Isn't that right, there's a companion?

That's what I asked Albao to change the flow.

Indeed, there was a special companion on Albao's journey.

When he asked me, Albao said a little sorry after he looked at me like he remembered.

"I'm sorry. I haven't spoken to Sui in a long time, and I've forgotten about my companion."

"Oh, come on, something."

"Haha. I don't care if you bend your umbilical cord too much, I'll call you."

Albao, with a bitter laugh, goes back to the carriage with that saying no.

Soon afterwards, one girl appeared dressed in soft clothing, trying to get her hands on Albao.

"... ah"

The girl was in my memory.

Although it was only one encounter, her appearance and behavior at that time are well remembered.

A beautiful girl with dark red hair, like a crimson rose. I remember her having a beautiful appearance that captivated the majority of what I saw.

She's beautiful, but she looked great.

"Good afternoon, Sue. And Mr. Bartender. Long time no see."

There he was, the day of the lord's birthday party. She was the girl I met when I was bartendering in the hall of the lord's mansion.

She was openly asked for help at the party venue and had no choice but to follow up to give her some insight.

The name is definitely... Rosemary, was it?

"Oh, I'm so surprised you don't even have a voice."

Rosemary says so, with an invincible grin. Then I stopped by Sui for a long time. I don't have to be sure, she looks soooo conscious.

But when it comes to how it looks against Sui.

"... uh, yeah. Long time no see."

"... you're not very responsive. This is how your rivals appeared all the way."

Rosemary looks a little less interesting on the dull sui.

But I clearly understood Sui's current mood.

Sui's expression was that when she met someone she knew who could remember her face but couldn't remember her name.
