The living room dining room at night occasionally changes its name to "Metius Tavern".

It's a shop that opens at the whim of a fairy, and it's also time for adults to drink.

"So, Mr. Riola, may I offer you a new drink?"

"Yes!"

The light of the scented oil lamp and the sweet, burnt aroma create a relaxing mood.

Next to the scented oil lamp, there were two red and yellow hall slimes, sitting whether they were even on a date. Light through a jelly-like translucent body creates stained glass-like intricate colored lights on the table.

"Looking forward to the new one."

"Please wait, Brother Gu"

When Riola prepared the glass, she poured southern-made distillery liquor and corned down the "magical ice" sold there as a refrigerator. Further from a glass bottle, slowly pour the clear liquid. Since there are showers and bubbles, is it fashionable sparkling water (...) recently? Finally squeeze the lemon, done. He gave it to me.

"Here you go. Nantka's... sparkling watercream."

"Ooh!? Which, I'll take."

It's also adorable where Riola remembers the name of the alcohol. I feel drunk before drinking.

Very easy to drink with good cold carbonated water and lemon flavors. Something that doesn't contain much alcohol is just fine for me. Drinking three glasses of alcohol can make you sleepy, which also affects the exercise of magic. I try not to drink outside, but I can drink safely at home.

I have a lot to think about tomorrow, but I enjoy my conversation with the cute Riola in front of me.

Fairy Metius sits on top of the bottle and cares about the tip of his hair.

"Tomorrow, when I decide to go to Rudens, I'm going to stop by Tibalagi Village as well... looking forward to seeing Iola after all?

"Oh, hmm? Well... what do you say?"

"You can be honest."

"Hey, I'm looking forward"

Riola narrows her tinted eyes and smiles with a far-sighted look. He's the only sibling I've been with, and he's the only flesh and blood parent I can't help but miss.

If you had any trouble, if you'd told the magic pendant, I would have flown away and helped you, but so far I haven't heard from Iola.

I have sometimes worried that in situations where I have encountered a terrible enemy and can't even call for help... etc., Iola has a Larna identity (...) called "Lana Child". If anything, there's got to be one of those news from the slime network that can transcend space.

This would mean that Iola works in potato fields and works hard to rebuild the village. Are you also doing well with Harua, who returned to the village with you?

"I've been wondering a lot, too. Rudens is important, but I'd like to see Iola too."

"Yes."

"By the way, this, it's delicious, so have another drink"

"... the pace is fast."

And when I gave him the glass, he heard it from the shadows.

"Wow!? What is it, Spiano... since when?

"I was in the kitchen. He's sneaking up on me."

Spiano appeared with a black tank top and shorts as he gushed out of the shadows. I have a plate of nuts in my hand. Somehow, it's like he's sneaking a hidden knife or something under a plate.

I put down a plate of knobs and I feel signs of waiting for a moment for my inquiry.

"... those two, what do you think?

Between one breath or so,

"For once, I think it's all right, sss"

"Right."

Short response returned. If I wasn't drunk enough to make this important inquiry, Spiano might have let me down.

Sit Spearno in the chair next to him. I guess I've bathed the kids and laid them to sleep. Smells like soap.

"Lu Cat's hometown... I heard it was childhood friendly and I was a little upset about the boulder... I suspected you've been setting up a psychological battle to diminish our judgment (...), sss."

"Boulder, the building security captain (...) That's Spiano"

Unexpectedly impressed, recommend a drink.

I've got a girlfriend I used to be friends with, so this could be a training ground! What an embarrassment to myself that all I could think of was a shameless thought in my lower care.

"It's not that big a deal. Sage sss can magically judge the target sss. But Ola, the other person's eye movements, words, smells, atmosphere…. You can only judge enemy allies with vague things like that."

Around the Sage Hall, there are multiple interpersonal vigilance boundaries. It is intended to detect as soon as possible the proximity of an opponent with dangerous magical powers or an armed opponent.

Based on the information obtained, the "Autonomous Drive Formula (Acrypt)", which oversees the overall security of the building, determines the degree of danger. And we're supposed to issue a directive for automatic interception by the 'Wine Barrel Golem' regiment standing by in the garage.

Other self-defense efforts by the 'Museum Slime' at the end of the garden to protect their nests (...) are also powerful, but should be considered whimsical and auxiliary.

However, these defensive features are not activated against unarmed (...) visitors.

There is a fragile side to the so-called "grey zone hazard".

The truth is that when an unarmed, unwittingly hostile person arrives, in the end, he is trained as an assassin (Assassin) and relies on Spiano with warrior-like prospects and eyes.

"I like people... and when they get nicked, I forgive them for following me. So it would be helpful if Spiano supported us with tough eyes, like he did today."

"Right. Both Ola and Sage SS have to protect their children. If you leave a message during the day, strange people will come. I'm gonna kick you back for donations."

"Ha. Even if the guards are patrolling, it's not perfect."

"Sage, do something magically!

"As it were, well, I'll try to research it..."

Spiano drank the same beverage as me all the time and took a breather with Pu Ha.

"... Speaking of which, Ola and Lu Cat, you said you were looking for a new home."

"You did. What are you gonna do?

Dokiri. After all, will I leave here?

"I wish I could... I wish I could build a dojo next to here or something, ss. I can't bother you, Lu, but the cats and the kids, they don't want to leave here."

Spiano smiled like he was in trouble and stared straight at me.

"Ooh!? That'll do as much good as it takes. The land could be somehow."

"Is that true?... thankfulness."

and where Calacolon and the doorbell played a light sound.

There you are, sage Grecas.

"Lu, you're here!

I invite you with a smile.

"Lord Grey, I need to talk to you tonight... SPI!?

"Lu cat, late. I'm getting another drink. We're talking about land."

"If so, then why don't we all have a drink together"

"Fine. Let's call the manu too! It should be a bath now...... The smell of taking a bath is good again..."

"Sage Grecas is already drunk!

"What!? Did I say something weird?

"My thoughts were leaking..."

"Brother Gu, you will only serve water in the future."

"What!?

Thus, for the first time in a long time, the liquor store became lightly pleasant for the mind as well.

- Cheers!
