I was sneaking into the Gaddles Inn counter that night when I went back from Raum to Strahl.

Finia's not feeling well somehow. She's perceiving my air and she's back in her room.

This is how I wind up with a camel on the counter with Gaddles because he cares for me for a kind of stress exotherm.

"Gaddles, give me another drink."

The dining room at the inn is already closed, so it's just me and Gaddles in the dining room.

It means you can't hesitate to get drunk.

"Another drink... You know, it's probably enough to get drunk."

"I know this body is vulnerable to alcohol."

"I didn't think you could get drunk by dividing ale with orange juice and adding ice."

Indeed, when diluted so far, it is only about the flavoured juice of alcohol.

But it is this body that is still intoxicating. It's a good body in a way.

"You were vulnerable to booze in your previous life, but now you're more than that."

"Shut up."

"You look like Maria around there. She was also vulnerable to alcohol. So, what was so shocking this time?

"Ugh..."

It doesn't mean something shocking happened. I knew best that Michelle and the power of the cloud had already crossed that common.

But I didn't think so until I stood around as an adventurer. That turned out to be my concern at noon today.

They are no longer first-rate adventurers without me. That is happiness and loneliness.

"Is this how parents feel about being separated"

"What do you want me to say to you, too?"

"There's no way I can make it!

"You can make it. It's better to give birth."

"It's weird!

Half-eyed and yelled back at Gaddles, I rammed into the counter. Not to spill a glass of liquor, of course, after.

"Those kids, it's already fifteen. Is the cloud seventeen? It's not weird if I can do it without you. And I've been through training courses."

"... well"

He also defeated the Mountain Snake. We fought hard against Matheus until the cloud, and even got our arms chopped off. Michelle also exterminated a group of goblins.

Even Retina, it's not something I threw away.

I can't say I don't have a gift, but I keep trying, and now I have that skill at a glance.

You can't fail to acknowledge their efforts and experiences.

"Right, would it be rude if I didn't treat you as another person"

"If it was, would you even look after another rookie?

"That too..."

Not bad, I jammed the words.

Even if we make a new party, it's up to our luck to get along with them.

Now the party, if I may say so, is a bunch of people I built and raised from scratch.

Breaking up with that fellow and going to another party feels something different.

No, should I say I have an untrained one?

"No, I feel that's something different"

"Really? Then why don't you try another job?"

"Another job?

"What, it's the same thing I just said. You're not the only one who's different. Why don't you take it with your people?"

"Newbie teaching. I didn't really feel it when you were Michelle, but you don't have a good impression."

'Cause in my last life, I failed a lot.'

Too much overprotection, too much hands. If it wasn't education for that reason, scattered gaddles were scolding me.

Its nature is still handed down today, and I don't feel that Michelle or the development of the cloud is slightly overhand.

But the worry also cleared up beautifully in one case today.

"Right. It's time to let everyone adventure from an outside perspective."

Keep an eye on the newcomers from the outside, give them instructions, and train them responsibly. Even with that kind of experience, it's becoming a strength that's not bad.

So behind my back, I was feeling signs of getting used to it.

Smells like medicine mixed with soil and grass. And Elixir's unique intense green smell.

No one in this world smells like Elixir but my people. And when it comes to the smell of medicine, there's only Maria or Maxwell.

And there's a big difference between the two physiques, and from footsteps and floorboard smudges, claws, whether it's Maxwell or not.

"You have magic training. Well, why don't you take Miss Retina with you?

What I heard was still Maxwell's voice, which I was used to hearing.

He didn't mean to surprise me there either, and after speaking normally, he sits in the next seat as if nothing had happened.

And lately it was a trick I was particularly used to, always demanding the liquor I was ordering from Gaddles.

"Totally. He said the store was closed already, but when he came with you guys,"

"That's as big a deal as sharing a secret with one another."

Even though he leaks stupidity, Gaddles takes one bottle out of the shelf. That was Maxwell's preferred bottle of white wine.

It's a substitute that's too tight for me right now to keep with me.

"On the other hand, I don't have a problem taking Retina, but I need to talk to Mina about getting a job..."

"You haven't turned the rot around already, have you given him a drink that tough?

"No, Yale just a quarter of a glass of orange juice"

"Does that crush you, or are you weaker than Maria?

"You sure are weak."

While looking at me funny, Maxwell pours white wine into his wine glass with a familiar hand.

I take a glass to the tip of my nose and fully enjoy the scent.

"It's not a bad drink. And even more so, Reid, your lord says you're in magic training, but you don't get to work on your own."

"From Gaddles' intermediaries, okay?

"I don't know if I'm going to be shocked by the growth of the people I used to treat as children. Well, even if I train in this state, I can barely wear it. Gaddles, excuse me."

"Leave it to me. I'll get you some of that this time."

I stuck on the counter, I was already unconscious.

Comfortable fellow voice in the ear. Some environments are safer to sleep in.

Nevertheless, I cleared my worries with alcohol and then bought my next job.
