Dungeon Defense (WN)

“Hmm…? ”

“I asked. I wonder if King Dantalian really thinks so. ”

I look up and look at the other person.

Fancy yet dark room. In a space where only a few candles are quietly shaking, the purple eyes of the Vampire glow like jewels. I have no feelings for jewelry. It was just as beautiful as he was.

“…… No. That's not it.”

Once here, no thanks.

It's like he's sober. Like you want to rush back what you've been told by the energy so far. I grabbed a cup of water that never touched my lips since the start of the drink. And I drank a lot of water.

Drink water to sober up. That's what they're shining on each other.

“You know that. I'm exaggerating a little bit. Haha. Don't worry about it. It's from the drink. ”

“This is a drink, as you said. Therefore.”

Ivar Lothbrok filled my cup.

“Any story evaporates. If there is a story in your heart, I will do anything to listen to it, even if it is a disquieting complaint. ”

“Heh heh. The owner of Kunkusa is my drinking buddy. You've really outdone yourself. ”

I turn my tail here again.

“Yes, we need to start talking about setting up shop at his castle. I have no intention of bargaining with you. I even showed you the main body, so you have to show me some respect. Don't you think?”

“…… Of course, if you do, I'll be damned. ”

Ivar Lothbrok replies with a clumsy reply. The girl drank some wine.

We've just come up with a new topic. However, the other person drank alcohol. What does this mean? When you drink alcohol, your mouth is blocked, of course, but you take a step back from the conversation.

‘Now, what does Ivar Lothbrok feel now? ’

There are usually two cases.

First, if the other person has given up on you. In short, it's a 'Yes, let's hear how you talk about the new topic' attitude.

This is almost an instinctive gesture.

It's quite interesting, but people are rather passionate about a bit of nonsense when they want to show their consent. I drink like Ivar, or look at the other person 30 degrees... The translation of these gestures into words is as follows:

Even though I am doing this, your story is so right that I have to nod my head due to some force of force.

I deliberately show others something else. You want to work on that shit, but you fail because your story is interesting. I'm really focused on what you're saying.... That's roughly what it means.

Technically, it's a tactical gesture.

It is almost always the same with sincerity, so if you want to pretend you don't, you have to carry a so-called "theater tool" with you.

However, the gesture that Ivar Lodbroke is currently taking is not the first case.

Earlier, the timing of the conversation was not my turn to start the conversation. Now that this side has brought up the topic, the other side is ready to accept it. Nevertheless, I ignored the timing and drank....

In the second case…… you deliberately said no to me.

For me, the topics you put on your mouth are not very interesting. In addition, it's hard to agree on the topic itself.

It is a very aggressive pseudo-expression.

You can only pass it on in generalization, but it's not the same where politicians and politicians work. Boxing is almost like a lighthook. Maybe you want to see how I react to this attack.

‘Good.'

Two seconds to judge.

I asked while placing the water cup back on the table.

"Should I ignore you once again? What do you think? Is that a good idea? ’

I immediately triggered a veto in the corner of my head.

‘No, I'm postponing the sudden awakening of alcohol. It's a lot to take in. It's almost impossible not to recognize your opponent's gesture. No matter how much I look at my face, I feel like I have a stubborn and decorated corner. ’

Good. I'll take your word for it.

So what's the best response?

It's been three seconds. I put almost all the water cups on the table. Time is running out. This is the only way you can roll your head, you idiot. Come on, give me an answer. It's your specialty to look at your opponent's face and flatter him accordingly!

Silence?

This is the worst.

The most sacred act in the world is silence. Only poor actors regard silence as natural.

"Rather be aggressive. ’

That's it. Now we have a viable alternative.

I thought with a gentle smile on my mouth. That's right. This one just woke up from a hangover. He regrets praising me because he realizes that he has pushed his heart too far. It has become quite sensitive.

“…… Ivar Lodbroke. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

“First of all, I apologize for what I tried to say. Yes, I clearly insisted that trust was necessary between the two of us. ”

In that situation, the opposing Pokémon attacks this side. What do I do? I have to roar like a stubborn wild dog.

I was sure that this was the right answer.

“But I'm still hesitating. You didn't want to show me the whole thing. I faked the body of a girl who looked almost like you. ”

“Your Majesty, it's ……. ”

“I don't mean to blame you. ”

I smiled lightly. Seems to reassure the other party.

“What? It's been years since I've been with you. I'm getting used to your methods. You're the kind of person who can't stand tests, tests, gates and gates without them. Yes.”

“ ……. ”

“But I hope you understand. In exchange for you testing yourself until the end, I also can't relax until the end. It was all about borrowing the power of the drink and pushing it. Yes, that's all. ”

The person who should be nervous from now on is not me, but the opponent.

Humans are clever, so they only think they have the right answer. Even if it sounds plausible, I doubt it if it came from someone else's mouth. The smarter the person, the more likely they are to be.

On the other hand, if you think carefully and come to a conclusion, you will soon find yourself close to the right answer.

Currently, Ivar Lothbrok has only one problem - whether this is for real or not.

The materials I've been given to girls to judge that, the gestures I've been secretly showing. And the fact that I turned my tail at first but reacted sensitively twice....

“Very well.”

The short, bifurcated hair was turned back, and the blonde girl said.

“You said you borrowed spirits. If you do, I hope Dionisos will protect you tonight. ”

“Oh.”

I raised my eyebrows as if I were surprised.

“I mean, you politely offered me a drink until my nose got sore……. Is that okay with you? ”

“I'm afraid so.”

The girl shakes her right hand in the air. Suddenly, there were threads on the end of the girl's fingers, and the threads were reflected in the light of the candle and sparkled faintly.

Then I caught about a dozen bottles of wine in the other side of the room. The girl pulls on the bottles. Swoop, swoop, and swiftly, the girl picks them up gently by floundering her cloak. It was a fantastic technique.

“Brilliant!”

I clapped my hands without knowing it. While the girl's white naked body was apparent while wearing the cloak as a scepter, it seemed good.

Ivar Lothbrok puts the bottles wrapped around his cloak on the table one by one.

Kwung. Kwung. Kuang.

The bottles come in successively, like a fortress. After it had surpassed the thirty dogs, there was a power that overwhelmed those who could see.

“Your Highness, I dare you to judge, this is no ordinary speech. And there's a little bit of a cocktail in the bar, too. ”

“It's hard to talk straight with alcohol, isn't it? ”

“As you say. All that is true of His Majesty is a distinguished alcoholic beverage from the Fire of Fire. If a normal vampire drinks, he will become a drunkard in a bottle. ”

What do you think, "said the girl boldly.

“My sincerity and your sincerity. Which one is lighter? Would you like to battle? ”

“Khh.”

I clapped again.

“Now you're looking good. I have longed for this moment, Dangju of Kunkusa. ”

The girl in front of me was definitely smart.

He'll remember all the conversations and he'll judge them. He doesn't know that his feet have fallen on the smart side.

“If you please.”

“Ah, do you want to battle? Of course I will.”

Because I didn't mean it in the first place.

You're the only one who truly wants to talk about this drink, Ivar Lodbroke.

“I've worked with Barbato and Veled before. I can't be confident that I'm the best of the Demon Prince, but I'll be able to get inside at least ten fingers. In advance, you will regret giving me a battle. ”

“It is already an honor to work with you, so why should you regret it? ”

We were just judging it exactly the opposite.

From the standpoint of Ivar Lodbroke, I've learned almost all the truth. Ivar Lothbrok had a separate body. That she lost her love to the Demon King a long time ago. In short, I had no intention of being caught...

You'd think it would be enough to dig up this side of the fence if it had all been revealed. You said it was a fight with nothing to lose.

‘It's a fight you have to lose, in fact. ’

I plunged into a battle to find the truth that had never existed before. It was foolish.

‘See, e.g., Ivar Roadbrook. ’

I pulled out a pipe and asked myself:

‘You have no idea that I have prepared herbs with hangover beforehand. ’

At the beginning of the year, the herbs were mixed in about half. It was prepared by stir-frying Jeremy. It was a new product made by combining several items, not one herb, so it was hard to recognize the smell.

“Phew.”

I took a deep breath of cigarettes and spit them out. I could feel my mind getting clearer. I don't know if it was the mood, but it worked. Haha.

“Sure. Let's have a drink. ”

“Yes. The sign will follow first. ”

Ivar Lothbrok politely followed the drink.

It's a game that's already been decided, but that's how the world works. Life is a game, in which it is predetermined who wins. The reason large corporations build casinos is because they are convinced that they are victorious.

An hour.

Two hours.

Five hours later.

We really drank without a moment's rest. Thirty bottles have been out since dawn, and thirty new bottles, thirty new bottles have been added again.

So the girl in front of me.

“Ugh…. ”

Your face is glowing red.

“Ivar Rodbrock? Are you drunk? Khahaha.”

“No...... Your Highness. I can see you're drunk. ”

“No! Not at all! ”

I laughed. He really looked like a drunk. Ivar Lothbrok and I have been tongue-tied for a long time now, and the male whispers have become an accent.

“Now it's your turn. It's your turn! ”

“Great… here we go! ”

The naked girl raises the bottle high. And I blew my diseased foot cheerfully. It sounded so vivid that I quickly emptied another bottle.

“Khh! Now it's your turn…! ”

By the way, Ivar Lothbrok took off his cape at some point. I was drinking naked. His face turned red, as well as his neck and chest. There before me was a girl who was a pure drunk.

I replied with a sunny smile.

“Good… good! Hold on, have a cigarette. ”

I asked the pipe into my mouth.

Mmm.

Smells really good.
