The prisoners prepared the banquet with the unity and speed of the company commander and unit members who visited the unit.

We decided to gratefully accept it without shame.

‘I’m full… ‘, but then, in the corner of my eye, Amine put her hands together and prayed in a pitiful way.

The companions also seemed to feel the desperation there and agreed, ‘Let’s take a good rest today.’

‘Well, I guess I could just drink a little alcohol.’

“Where… Then, Amine, do you have alcohol?”

“Wow, it’s a big deal that a hero finds alcohol first.”

“I can’t digest it yet, so I’m going to take a few sips of alcohol.”

However, my stomach is still full after eating a lot of steak and large intestines.

My companions participated in the battle and seemed to have digested everything, but I didn’t feel like eating so I decided to just have a drink.

Then Lucia’s expression hardened.

“Savior, wouldn’t it be better not to drink alcohol? The last time I drank makgeolli… .”

“… … Keuhum, khum.”

‘Now that I think about it, he got drunk and hung around all night… .’

On the other hand, my expression turned red.

Because I remembered the memory of the day I slept under the World Tree, drunk on makgeolli and hugging Lucia.

It was natural for Lucia, the victim of my unconscious sexual harassment, to react that way.

But I shook my head.

‘But, I want to drink it.’

“I’ll just drink a little bit. Just until I stop getting drunk.”

Mummummi’s ‘Have a drink~’ pose that I saw earlier. I got really drunk after seeing that.

He’ll be a big success if he becomes a model for a liquor advertisement. really.

Of course, when Lucia heard me, she twitched her ears as if she was a little worried,

“And you believe that if I get drunk, everyone will stop me? You know I always believe in you, right?”

“… … It’s a foul. yes. Then just a little bit.”

-Stop.

“Nyaaa!! Just then, the bear beastmen presented me with their secret honey wine!!”

He was quickly taken over by my subsequent ‘I believe’ attack.

When Mummummi saw this, she barked happily, and soon a glass full of golden liquid was placed side by side in front of us.

I was hungry so I sipped it with a smile…

‘Honey wine, what does it taste like? Does it taste like acacia honey?’

-sniffling.

“… … Buh.”

‘It’s called honey wine. ‘Are you fooling me?’

Soon my expression became frowning.

No, it’s called honey wine, but what could be so bitter and strong? Isn’t this title a scam?

When I looked at Amine with deceived eyes, Amine felt my gaze and jumped up.

“Does this not suit your taste!?”

“Ugh. I use it a lot.”

“… Meow? Isn’t that natural since it’s honey… ?”

“Angel!! If you make alcohol with originally sweet ingredients, it becomes bitter and strong!! Alcohol made from honey is especially famous for being strong!!”

‘… … ah. Come to think of it, I think I’ve heard that before.’

… It didn’t take long for me to realize that the suspicion of fraud was a misunderstanding on my part.

Come to think of it, I vaguely heard about it. The alcohol content of a brewed liquor is said to be proportional to the sugar content of the raw materials.

I heard that the alcohol content was slightly more than half of ‘Brix’, which indicates sugar content?

​

Even honey has a brix of 70, so it was clear that even with a little bit of water, the brew would easily reach the 20 degree limit.

In other words, it was natural that honey wine was as strong as red cap soju.

‘eww… ‘I can’t drink this strong alcohol.’

-Hesitating.

And I am Lee Si-hyeon. A man who can’t even drink alcohol containing more than 6 percent alcohol.

Even though I had ordered a drink out of curiosity, I held the cup and hesitated.

Then the companions laughed as if they had seen something cute.

“Well, the hero is also a boy. It’s okay to hate this kind of girly drink.”

“Hehe. The weak drinker is cute… .”

“Now that I think about it, the makgeolli back then was also very sweet.”

“Woo, ugh… .”

‘I feel like my masculinity is cracking… .’

… My companions sipped calmly, making me feel doubly embarrassed.

However, I had no intention of being reckless for no reason.

I couldn’t help but blush while holding the cup.

Surprisingly, it was Arthur who helped me.

“Angel, this.”

“… Arthur?”

I thought I was quiet while my companions were making fun of me, but then Arthur suddenly appeared from somewhere and handed me a glass.

He then gestured as if to tell me to drink it quickly, so I hesitantly opened my mouth again.

After that, my eyes opened brightly.

-Flashing.

“… … It’s delicious!!”

‘It’s the same color as the drink from before, but it’s super sweet, full of carbonation, and delicious!’

“Isn’t the western part of the continent famous for its carbonated mineral springs? I got ice, honey, and carbonated water from other prisoners and mixed it with alcohol. I’m glad you liked it!!”

Arthur’s happy smile returned to me.

… It hurts my pride to smile kindly and say, ‘I made it a little lighter because I was drunk,’ but it’s too delicious not to drink.

I quietly entered the shelter of cowards.

“Thank you, Arthur. It’s so delicious.”

-sniffling.

‘This is it, highball…’ ? You mean? Now that I think about it, I think I’ve seen it a few times on YouTube.’

I later remembered that mixing alcohol and carbonated water in this way is called a ‘highball’ in Korea, but guess what?

I decided to enjoy this delicious drink.

-Gulp. Sting.

“… … Phew!!”

When I safely take a sip down my throat, the carbonated carbonation crackles to the point of stinging.

The sweetness of the honey that comes after it, and a faint bitterness that seems to balance it out.

I couldn’t help but exclaim at the pleasure that felt as if all the grease stuck on my neck had been peeled off.

A drink like that. Two drinks for being cute to Arthur. Three glasses.

I couldn’t taste the alcohol and didn’t feel very drunk, so I downed three honey highballs in a row.

“A warrior? Even though it’s only a little bit of honey, it has quite a bit of alcohol to begin with, so just in moderation… .”

-Tuk. Stumbling.

‘… what?’

However, I didn’t know.

No matter how light Arthur is, the alcohol content of the highball is never low because the host, or mead, is so strong.

-dump.

“Huh… .”

‘My head is dizzy. My body is hot… .’

If you drink three glasses of high-alcohol alcohol in a hurry, you will inevitably get drunk quickly.

Because of this, I fell flat on my back.

Consciousness also slowly faded into darkness.

“Angel… ? You only drank a spoonful of mead, but did you get drunk from that?!”

-sniffling.

“… Isn’t it just one spoonful of alcohol? Arthur, what kind of spoon did you use?”

“I got it from there… .”

“Nyaaa!!! That one is only for large tribes like the bear beastmen… .”

‘Everyone, it’s nice to be noisy… .’

However, the voices of my companions lingered far away in my ears.

The feeling of falling asleep was never bad.

* * * * * *

———On the contrary, waking up felt extremely bad.

“Queu, ugh… .”

‘Did I fall asleep while drinking…? ? Oh, my head.’

When I came to, I found myself curled up in bed with my eyes squinted.

The pain that fills my head… It must be the hangover I felt even when I was drinking makgeolli.

… Wait, makgeolli?

‘No way, me again this time…’ !!?’

-Flashing.

But at the same time, I wondered if I was drunk and sleeping with someone else in my arms.

I suddenly opened my eyes and looked around… Fortunately, I was the only one in the bed.

I looked out the window with peace of mind, and it was dawn with the moon shining brightly.

… Did your co-workers take you to your dorm when you were drunk? Thank you.

‘Then it’s better… .’

-Stop.

‘Ugh. ‘I don’t feel well.’

My body, which was about to crawl back into bed, suddenly stopped.

When I twisted my body a little, I was greeted with a headache and a feeling of nausea.

So, after gagging a few times, I turned around again.

Not through a comfortable bed, but beyond the door of a small tree house.

‘I should take a break and go back to sleep… .’

-Squeak.

[It’s the great Amine’s villa!]

‘… I thought the accommodation was a bit luxurious, and I wondered if it was Amin’s villa.’

When I saw the nameplate on the back of the door, I was momentarily shocked and thought, ‘I can’t believe I slept in a cat house,’ but whatever.

I happened to find a table nearby, so I decided to have a quick hangover there and sleep.

… However, I froze again.

Because Rinne was lying on the bench next to the table, drooling.

“Linne… ? What are you doing there?”

“… … Ah, uh!?”

– Churrup.

Rinne only looks this way after I call her.

He was wearing pajamas, which made it clear to anyone that he was planning to spend the night here.

… I wonder why they wear pajamas in the Middle Ages, but I guess that shouldn’t be an issue in Mangame, where the royal kitchen even has a modern oven. hmm.

anyway. She was hastily wiping her saliva, then sat up straight and pointed toward the tree house I came from.

“Ugh, benefactor. To protect you… The crime prevention magic won’t stop… .”

“You can talk to me comfortably.”

“Uh, yes… … lol. Anyway, there’s no one else to do it but me… .”

The story revealed by Rinne, who laughed at my permission to speak informally, was that I had been maintaining a crime prevention spell to prevent anyone from entering the dormitory while I was sleeping.

My head tilted.

“… Who is hurting me here? No, more than that, why is there no one else but Rinne?”

“Ah, that’s… After dropping off the benefactor, the other warriors all got drunk… But I was anxious to leave my benefactor alone… .”

“Is Rinne the only one not drunk? Awesome.”

“Well, that. After my benefactor left… I feel uncomfortable joining in with the warriors… .”

“… … Ah.”

‘You’ve gone into a disaster mode because I’m not here?’

… However, after hearing the situation, I felt nothing but pity.

The kid who used to drink a lot when I was around, but after I fell asleep, he stayed quiet while everyone else was drinking.

So I asked out of pity.

“Rinne, it’s frustration, right? Would you like me to resolve this?”

‘Since I was going to make something for hangover anyway, I should make a little extra work by making a side dish for Rin’s drinks.’

“———!!!!!!?”

“If the other person is okay with me.”

I don’t know, but wouldn’t it be quite painful to want to drink but not be able to?

I smiled and tapped my lips, as if tempting him to relieve that lack of desire.

But why? Immediately after I finished speaking, Rinne’s animal ears perked up.

“Well, that. excuse me… uh? what? Really?”

“Of course. Rinne, I saw earlier that you really like alcohol. Because I couldn’t drink alone. I’ll make some snacks for you, so let’s drink together, just the two of us.”

“… … ah. No way, talking about alcohol… ?”

-Chuuk.

The animal ears immediately went down again.

For some reason, he blushed and said, ‘I’m doing this on purpose…’ Rinne was muttering ‘?’

“Ugh… At a drinking party, there was a lot of talking… This is what it meant.”

“Linne?”

-Nod.

“… I’m getting frustrated, so I’ll ask you a favor.”

“Hehe. Okay.”

In the end she accepted my offer.

Afterwards, I

‘A dish that can go with Rinne’s drinks and even serve as hangover, if possible, contains meat…’ ‘That’s it too.’

I started busy preparing the ingredients under the moonlit night.

Rinne, who is hungry for alcohol, and I, who are hungry for seafood, will both be satisfied.

To make one of the best Korean dishes in my opinion.
