Looking at Melissa, she was comparing her drinking with a strong man.

The rules are simple: just drink the same alcohol and compete to see which one can drink more. If Melissa wins, she can get unconditional information from her opponent. Conversely, if you lose, you will be contracted to pay here.

I can't afford to pay for them now. That said, I don't intend to forgive Melissa because the purpose of playing against her drinking is to defeat her by the end of her life and ask for information.

"Ugh..."

There are five glasses poured with alcohol on the table.

The man who was playing against Melissa couldn't bear it, but now Melissa's face shows room.

Come on, who's going to try next?

Looking at the men and provoking them.

There are more than twenty cups on the table that Melissa drank. In order to challenge Melissa, you must first drink twenty glasses dry.

“Isn't anyone here? Then, I will serve the person who beat me with the price of the month."

"I don't think there's a lie to that word."

A man who is confident in his drink begins to drink out of the glass.

"... Melissa, you seem to be struggling a bit."

Huh, is that so?

“Yes, my face looks a little reder than usual.”

Sylvia, sitting next to her, noticed Melissa's condition.

The cause lies in the alcohol she is drinking.

Master, is the alcohol they're drinking strong?

“Yeah. It's made from the volcanoes on this island, and it's so powerful that it blows a fire out of your mouth.”

It was like an erupted volcano. From there, the name "sparkling liquor" was given.

Melissa was able to endure it now, but she seemed to be close to her limit.

”That woman is pretty strong because she can fight against the people who are used to this wine”

"At least no one in the area thinks we're going to take on Melissa."

Allister is also famous for being strong on alcohol.

"Damn, damn..."

The man who was trying to challenge Melissa fell down before he could.

Now, is it time for me to win?

"Shit."

Men don't have a problem handing over information. However, if we lose by drinking alcohol that should be more advantageous to us, it will end in dishonor.

I couldn't easily admit defeat by betting on pride.

"Oh, I'm getting in your way."

A new man came into the tavern.

A giant with long, red-haired hair. A large body wrapped around the armor like clothes, and when he came up to Melissa, he gently lifted the man who had been crushed to drink and compare, and rolled him to the floor.

Melissa's eyes dazzle with the appearance of a man of seeming power.

“This is a drinking place. You mustn't use violence."

I'm not even going to do that.

An armored man sits in front of Melissa.

Apparently, the lady clerk who was serving to challenge the battle placed a large amount of liquor on the table.

"Looks like you drank a lot."

It's just the beginning.

"If you say so, you can't run away."

A man swallows up a glass of alcohol.

It is supposed to be the same powerful liquor as before, but it is consumed as if it were drinking water.

"...... you should let your people stop you right now"

The master muttered.

He spoke as if he had surrendered to what I had seen.

"It was Ledra who suddenly entered the store. Since when...... I wonder if I came to this city in a little while ago, I am an adventurer who settled down in time."

Is it strong?

“Yeah, I don't stay at a party, but if I'm solo and I'm lucky, I might join other parties. There's no doubt that hunting sandworms is strong enough.”

"Not that way."

"I'm sorry. I'm too strong for alcohol to be meaningless to drink."

I understand that.

Drinking up with Gaba Gaba gave me the right to challenge Melissa.

I can fight with this.

Fine, fine.

We start drinking at the same time as each other.

High-purity liquor quickly spins through the body and intoxicates the human body.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

"These are human beings..."

"I've never seen anyone drink eruption liquor at such a pace."

Melissa and Ledra both drink sparkling liquor in glasses on the table.

The cup is placed at exactly the same timing.

However, the sound of Melissa placing the glass was delayed.

"Ha, looks like you're at your limit."

"...... Ursaie"

"You don't have to push yourself."

Gradually, Melissa's law began to stop turning.

Meanwhile, Ledra could see room.

You should stop her before she gets sick.

Melissa fights honestly when she plays a drinking match. As a wizard, she can use Healing Magic to remove any booze from her body.

However, if you imitate it, it will not be fair in the game.

If you give priority to your physical condition and stop it, you can also heal yourself.

"It's better not to imitate the wild."

What?

"She understands her limitations. But I'm not giving up."

It was unpleasant. Melissa is usually calm, so if she can't win, she keeps fighting with a view to retreat.

However, I did not want to imitate it in the game of drinking.

Even if I lose, I want to lose after I've done my best.

As a master, I wanted to stop her considering her physical condition, but I changed my mind by looking at Melissa's face.

"You're stupid. You don't have to be so stupid..."

In the end, the limit was reached when 30 cups were emptied.

“Now, what do we do?”

Ledra turns to me with a provocative smile.

Until then, the adventurers who had been losing were making a lot of noise here.

"By the way, I have powerful information." If you can win over me by drinking, you can tell me. "

Other ways... that doesn't mean how much money we put in for the information.

If you want to get Ledra's information, you have to win a drink.

Trouble.

I can come up with any way I can that isn't easy. Melissa's defeat is no match for a full-blown drink, and there's no one among us who can win.

Silvia, Aira, and Iris didn't say anything because they were giving up.

All right, the rookies are paying for the drinks today.

"What are you talking about?"

"No, I mean... that's the kind of bet I was betting on."

"Of course, these guys will pay me for winning the battle." But you didn't say that I won and you paid for it. "

"Oh no..."

In Ledra's words, the men who lost the battle with Melissa are hungry.

I'm not willing to admit that I'm a party member of a victor, and that I will accompany an opponent who only works together once in a while.

Well, if we're gonna get information, we're gonna find another way.

Huh?

Encourage Melissa to use Healing Magic .

Melissa was enchanted and wrapped in a pale light, not so drunk that she was still lazy.

"I'm sorry, I lost."

Melissa lowered her head.

Victory or defeat was obvious to everyone.

I'll have you wait for the match!

At the same time, the door of the tavern was opened vigorously.
