Mr. Luisa, Mr. Fifty Storms, and Teresia. I haven't checked about the age of Teresia, but there is no age limit on alcohol in the labyrinth country in the first place, so I can drink Misaki and Suzuna if I want to too.

It seems Elitia was taking a while to get dressed and came later. He has golden hair down and is wearing a piece of blue colour, similar to what he looks like in armor. I'll toast again when she gets here - it's been quite a bit of alcohol.

"Misaki, you're red in the face, but maybe you're drinking?

"Yeah, because Tin stopped me. Eli, do you want a drink?

"E, Eli... I've never been called that way before. Ellie has it..."

"So can I call you Mr. Ellie from now on?

"... yeah. Can we keep Suzuna? Because it sounds good."

"Ha, I knew we were friends. You have the right personality, 'cause you're both quiet."

"Well, that's... even I talk a lot when I talk."

The younger three talk hard. Theresia was drinking at a slow pace beside it.

"Huh... yummy. I'm with you today, so it feels better than usual."

"Sister, that's a good drink. Sasa, another drink."

"Misaki, Luisa is already the fourth cup, so if you recommend it much..."

"The atmosphere just now is getting different... I knew alcohol was dangerous"

Misaki pours alcohol on Mr. Louisa. Suzuna seemed worried about Misaki's evil nori, accompanied by her. Elitia is overwhelmed by Louisa's adult tone, lifting the liquor bottle and staring at her.

"Suzuna's compassion is very smudging. But there are times when adults want to drink. I don't just want to hang out with your father for dinner, I want to have a drink at a tavern or something with my friends sometimes. Rear, are you listening?

"Yes, I'm listening. Mr. Fifty Storms, it's time for alcohol..."

"Oh, you're still shivering. I've never seen you drunk in the back. Even yesterday you only drank water... and you don't want to drink with me?

"No, that's not it. I'm drinking today, but it's time..."

"Fair enough, isn't it? If you're referring to Mr. Theresia, we still have time to go to the mercenary good offices..."

Mr. Louisa pours it on me while I say it's that way. And then maybe, slightly reddened her cheeks, she dared to turn her hand around my back and toast at close range.

"Le, Mr. Louisa, what is it all of a sudden"

"Sorry, I think I'm getting a little drunk. I often get my friends in trouble, but I have a habit of hugging them..."

"Wow... isn't that a bit irritating to your brother?

"Huh..."

I know you're anticipating me, but that's why you're too close. Suzuna has a face about what to say already because even Misaki can illuminate it.

(No way, are you the type that gets colourful when you get drunk? My chest is in danger when I approach it...... not good, there's Mr. Fifty Storms behind me......!

"Hey, can I talk to you for a second? I suddenly need to take my seat off..."

"Here, don't run away. Sit tight. Okay? You did something amazing in the back, so you just need to stand back and use us with your chin. Look, I'll pour it for you. Drink a lot, eat a lot. Yes, uh."

Mr. Fifty Arashi feels like a preaching habit or something to his mother. He stabs the remaining ham with a fork and feeds it - and he drinks it.

(I drank with you yesterday and you were in big trouble...... was it good or bad)

I'm not an advanced alcoholic, but I can clearly say one thing about how Mr. Fifty Storms gets drunk. When she drinks, there are so many gaps.

(So don't think about that...... bother is not necessary for a party. Me and Mr. Fifty Storms are buddies...... you shouldn't stick to the drunken and increased ski)

"Huh... ha, yummy. I thought I was the one who could do it. The paperwork was very good compared to the others, and I didn't have to say anything about it, so I asked for it. I thought it was bad. But you were the only man I could trust."

"Well, I see. Uh, excuse me! Can you bring me some water and some tightening fruit!

"Yes, please wait a moment."

The clerk woman goes in the back. Even as I waited, the whole time Mr. Fifty Storms talked about how much he expected about me and how sorry he was for his terrible ordeal.

(I wanted you to say that when I was working overtime, really)

"So even during Valentine's Day, I made it a little different than I handed it out to the others with my daily gratitude. But when the packaging was the same, I didn't notice the rear part. Hey, are you listening? Did you eat the chocolate that time?

"I ate it, and it was delicious. So calm down."

"Oh, I didn't eat that way. You threw away your boss's chocolate you didn't like anyway. I took care of the White Day payback. But when I told her I was in law from a subordinate, my mother ate it on her own with my brother. Do you normally do that? My brother-in-law gave it to me to come home. If you look in the fridge, tease me."

I should have left it in my room properly, not in a dimension to say - maybe I would have been adored by Mr. Fifty Storms as such a subordinate. I was just tired and unaware. No, I don't think so if you didn't notice.

"Alicht, did you really have nothing with your sister Kyoka -? If so, it's a great platonic."

"If anything happened to you, this wasn't happening. Look, don't you see?

"Back there, you're not mad at me like that. Hey, eat your meat. Because if you eat meat, it will generally work. You're annoying because you haven't eaten meat."

I don't know if it's alcohol disturbance, but it keeps getting tangled up anyway. From the other side, Mr. Louisa would come, so I couldn't help it.

And Elitia, who always wanted to know how we interacted, asked me the last thing she seemed to care about.

"... isn't Valentine exchanging gifts between friends?

So I found out - she was from Northern Europe, and she said Valentine's day was different from Japan's. My brother-in-law. It's fate. Not all countries are making noise, that's what I'm talking about.

◆ ◇ ◆

After leaving the tavern, Mr. Luisa and Mr. Fifty Arashi got into a mood for it and said they wanted to go to my room with me and talk. I mean, it's pretty much a confirmed stay.

The elite tier of the syrup was also exposed to the enthusiasm of the tavern, and he looks up with his hands.

"Then I'll send Luisa and Kyoka. Are Suzuna and Misaki coming too?

"Mochi ♪ Brother, what's it like to be in a suite?

"... I've never been to a man's house before, but with all of you..."

(Well, you're going home to yourself later. Still, four if you include Theresia)

Even if I sleep on the couch, it doesn't mean I have one bed at a time.

"Thank you for your continued support, Mr. Luisa."

"No, I also look forward to your work, and I will support everyone at the party"

Mr. Luisa and Mr. Fifty Storms are in a mood for it, so can we get the two of us to sleep?

I left Elitia the keys to the room and broke up with the five of us, and I took Teresia back to the mercenary good offices. Ask the other personnel who were outside to bring in Mr. Layla.

"Oh, are you here? After hours, there will be a constraint on your next employment. Glad we made it."

"Mr. Leila, we have the desired number of pieces available in today's exploration. Can I officially join Theresia at my party?"

When I hand over the copper ticket, Mr. Leila opens her eyes to surprise. When she received the paper bundle, she turned flat and confirmed the number of sheets twice.

"... hundreds. I did get it. I heard a giant oak was transported to a demolition station near the outer wall, but is that your job, Alicht?

"Yeah, I can't say it out loud. Keep it a secret because I want to keep it quiet."

Mr. Leila breathes small. Rather than frightened, it was a reaction that impressed me.

"It's a big deal. Even a newbie like you thought it would take as little as a month. I didn't think you'd have the tickets you needed the day after you declared it."

"I'm afraid so. Until now, you've meshed well with a lot of things, and you've had luck. We will continue to do so without alarm. And to bring Theresia back to man."

"Well... I salute that will. I think it's a role to give subhumans a place, but there's always a desire to get their hearts back on track. But I can't... A good, honest seeker like you is a hope for me"

"Because Theresia is my first companion. I know how it feels, even if I can't talk to you, that's the moment. I can't be sure if that's my assumption until we talk."

Theresia still says nothing. But when I gave you my copper ticket, I was staring at this one.

She has feelings. Right now, it's just a limited way of representing it.

"Alicht, Teresia said she liked you because she didn't want you to change your mind. I can't easily say that I have feelings for subhumans, but as an individual, I believe I have a heart. Believe that feeling, today is better than yesterday, and Theresia forgives you... I think so."

"Thank you. I hope so too."

The content of the time spent together is more important than the indication that trust has increased. I won't leave her alone, and I will continue to rely on her.

I was asked by Mr. Leila to shake my hand before heading back to the inn.

Theresia follows him on foot, often behind him. Is it Rogue skills or the effect of lizard gear that doesn't make footsteps?

"Theresia, you don't have to be behind this. You can walk wherever you want."

…………

Theresia thought about it for a moment, then next to me - I thought I'd line up, and I moved on a little while ago.

"... you mean from time to time, you walk in front of me? as" avant-garde. "

I don't know if it conveys intent, but I asked. Theresia still doesn't answer.

- No, I didn't.

She snorted and then shook her head. I don't know what that means - she came back and lined up next to me.

"That's right. You can walk anywhere. When you fight, you get out a little bit ahead of me. Then I can help, just like I've always done."

Teresia snorts. And after you stared at me, you gently pulled my sleeve.

"Let's go home, you mean?

…………

She did not answer. You don't have to hurry, do you? If you want to walk with me, a walk of drunkenness isn't a bad idea.

We walked through town in no hurry until the inn where everyone was waiting. I could see the moon floating in the sky at some point, illuminating where we were going with sparse streetlight lights.
