When you play, you should play.

This is especially true on a good day like today when great achievements are made.

The drinking party didn’t start until quite late.

This is because it gave each person time to chat with each guest.

Vivian with the kids.

Helena and Rachel.

Lucia with her mother.

In the meantime, I talked to Marie, and she made an unexpected suggestion.

“Ian. Are you interested in the Manager Guild?”

“What are you interested in?”

“Acquisition or something?”

“… Yes?”

I’ve been thinking about that recently though.

Now that Penny is gone.

How about taking over the Manager’s Guild under the name Philip and raising the overall quality of the warriors?

So, I secretly asked Marie before the test.

“Hmm. I have secured some internal documents… . I wonder if Ian could easily do something like this.”

“Perhaps you said earlier that you would do anything if you put him in a high position… .”

“Child, what if I say that in an embarrassing way?”

“You were a person who knew how to be shy.”

It so happened that Marie was thinking the same thing as me.

Things will turn out easier than you think.

“I was thinking about making that plan too.”

“Oh really? Hey, I’m amazing, right? huh? It’s amazing, right?”

“Honestly, it’s amazing.”

“This is the gift I mentioned last time.”

“Gift? Ah.”

It was like that in court.

He said he was grateful that he passed the temporary hero promotion test thanks to my advice and wanted to give him a gift.

“The gift scale is too large?”

“I was originally planning to buy a meal or something. Since it’s Ian, I think it should be like this.”

“It’s okay for just one meal. Anyway, it’s a good gift.”

“Well, it’s good for me, right?”

I received internal guild documents from Marie.

After confirming, we decided to discuss it later and parted ways today.

After saying hello to each other, our group gathered again, including Kati and Mercy.

The children returned with Petra to the monastery, and Marie returned with her warriors.

Lucia’s mother also left early with her family.

“character.”

I took out the keg I had prepared for today.

“Elegant… .”

A keg of alcohol was placed on a table in the middle of the camp field.

It’s a bit of a dark night, but there are a lot of stars and the moon is bright.

Even though it was summer, it was perfect to drink outside thanks to the moderately cool night breeze.

Vivian couldn’t keep her mouth shut when she saw the barrel of alcohol on the table.

Helena was even a little nervous.

“I carry something like this… ?”

Lucia asked as if it were absurd.

“It makes me feel like I’m some kind of drunkard because I carry it around. I prepared it for today.”

What I took out was a large beer ‘barrel’.

That’s why it’s the wooden barrel that breweries store a lot of alcohol in.

And a wine barrel was placed next to it.

“Hey… . I don’t know how long it’s been like this!”

Mercy, who had returned from a fairy to a human, swallowed her saliva and was happy.

Although I’m not good at drinking, I also like to eat.

Anyway, it’s special.

‘… ah. ‘My head hurts again when I think about Mercy’s drunkenness.’

In fact, it was not just prepared to celebrate this occasion.

I was about to check what their drinking habits were.

‘If you’re the type to go on a rampage like Kylie or Beatrice, you’re in trouble.’

So I had to know in advance.

While I was warming up the snacks I had prepared in advance and taking them out, I saw Helena stiffened.

“Have you never tried alcohol?”

This world is a place where even minors drink beer as a beverage.

So the barrier to entry into alcohol is very low, but it may be a little different for priests.

“Yes… . Other than having a light drink during Mass, this is my first time… .”

“Hmm.”

Sounds fun, right?

“Why, why are you smiling…? !”

“No?”

I filled each wooden glass with a dispenser mounted on the beer barrel and handed it to the group.

Meanwhile, I made eye contact with Vivian, and Vivian’s expression was also stiff.

“… Maybe.”

“Hehe… . Actually, this is my first time drinking like this… .”

hmm. This can be happen.

This might be fun too.

“… Did you just laugh?”

“Well?”

Mercy shouted when the glass was finished.

“Cheers! Please say a toast!”

“What… .”

“Please!”

“I want to hear it!”

“Yes, you should say something at a time like this!”

Vivian, Helena, and even Lucia joined in.

Mercy looked up at me and grinned mischievously.

‘I don’t like this kind of thing because it makes me feel embarrassed… .’

If you ask me to do it again, I can’t not do it again.

“Ugh.”

When I had no choice but to get up, my companions cheered exaggeratedly.

“I don’t have much time to talk about this, so I’ll keep it short.”

The people who suddenly stopped cheering grabbed their glasses and focused on what I was saying.

“From now on, you just have to keep doing it the way you are now. Thank you all for your hard work.”

“Yay! Everyone worked hard!”

“Thank you for your continued support!”

“Drink with peace of mind today!”

“Drink and die-!”

Wooden glasses clashed loudly in the air, splashing beer drops.

Mercy and Lucia gulped it down right away, and Vivian drank quite calmly despite shouting.

Helena, on the other hand, looked down at the beer she was holding in both hands with a stern expression, then suddenly shook her head.

Kati and I just emptied our glasses in silence.

I had no intention of getting drunk, so I drank it and immediately got sober.

It’s natural.

I’m the manager here, so you can’t get drunk on me too.

“Oh~”

Lucia admired Helena, who was still drinking.

“Thot-!”

Helena finally put down her glass.

The large wooden cup was empty.

Isn’t this a glass for one shot?

“You don’t have to eat it all at once.”

“Is that so… . Sigh!”

Helena suddenly covered her mouth.

I think I’m going to burp?

“What… .”

Helena suddenly turned her head back.

There was a gurgling sound like a popping bubble.

Helena’s face slowly returned to the front.

Her face was as red as Vivian’s hair.

Lucia giggled as she picked up a fried snack and ate it.

“Cute, cute. Our Helena. It’s totally a baby.”

“Ugh… .”

“Well, it’s all like that at first! Never mind! We are not strangers!”

Mercy comforted Helena by patting her back.

That’s pretending to comfort you.

Mischievous guy.

“Ah, mer, sleep, if you knock… .”

Helena had to turn her head back again.

Lucia and Mercy burst out laughing.

Even Vivian laughed brightly when she saw that.

*

The drinking party quickly heated up.

Of course, I got rid of the drunkenness by drinking.

Kati used to drink quietly and hang out, but she’s probably just like me.

He said it was okay to get drunk a few times, but he never did that, perhaps because he was conscious of me.

So, I don’t know about Kati’s drinking habits.

… anyway.

As expected, Mercy started whining.

“Iaaan… .”

“Why.”

“I, huh? I! Sigh!”

He even hiccupped and grabbed me and shook me.

“Did I tell you? Elves are not allowed to love humans. That means no!”

It’s like this every time.

I repeat this when I’m drunk.

Keep repeating those words over and over again until you fall asleep from exhaustion.

“Why is that?”

“That’s right… . Ian… . Did I tell you? Elves shouldn’t love humans!”

It’s like this.

Even if you ask him why, he doesn’t answer and just repeats what he said.

“Yes, yes. I see.”

“Ian… . Elves are… .”

Mercy expected it.

Next is Helena… .

“Hmmmm… .”

The other side where Mercy was whining.

So, Helena on my left is holding my arm tightly and resting her forehead on my shoulder.

I’m not sure what I’m doing.

If you look at his face with his eyes closed and a gentle smile on his face, it’s similar to when he held my hand and prayed… .

“Hmmmm… .”

In that state, he keeps making strange breathing sounds.

It may seem like a long breath made when falling asleep, but it is not sleeping.

“Helena.”

“Yes… .”

If you talk to me, you will answer.

“What are you doing?”

“Yes… .”

“Why are you suddenly holding onto my arm?”

“Yes… .”

… Just answer.

Vivian and Lucia, sitting across from us, were chatting excitedly.

Lucia may be a strong drinker, but she remains fine even after a few drinks.

Vivian, on the other hand, laughed with a face as red as her own hair.

Are you the type of person whose tension goes up when you get drunk?

“Lucia~”

Vivian, who drank a few more drinks, made a cute snort with a twisted pronunciation.

“Your sister.”

“I, I am Lucia’s older sister… ! He’s younger than me, very smart, and dependable, huh? It’s even pretty… . Heehee!”

Vivian rubbed her cheek against Lucia’s shoulder.

Lucia, who made eye contact with me, barely held back the laughter that threatened to burst out.

‘The creation of dark history has begun.’

“Izzana, sister? huh? I don’t think I’m worthy of a sister… . That’s right… .”

“It’s okay. Vivian is cute, so it’s okay. Everything is forgiven.”

“What?! you-! What kind of nonsense are you saying that you are cute to your sister?”

Vivian put her arms around her waist and pushed out her breasts to make her upper body look bigger.

I had to look away for a moment.

“See… . Hey, I’m a great wizard too… . Why does everyone tell me I’m cute? .”

“That’s right, you’re a cool wizard.”

Lucia smiled gently and stroked Vivian’s back.

“Motor teeth?!”

“It’s cute too.”

“Aaaah!”

Vivian, furious, found Katy beyond Lucia.

“katii-!”

“… … .”

“Me! me! I have a favor to ask Katy!”

“… … .”

“Let me fart my stomach later! Let’s do it! yes? Understand! Promise!”

“… … .”

“Wow? Is this your finger? Kati’s fingers are so thin and soft… .”

Vivian hooked her little finger in Katy’s fine hair with mischievous eyes.

Katy was calm, but her expression wasn’t very good.

The next target was Mercy.

“Merciiii-!”

“Ian. Isn’t it there?”

“Always be there to support you! It’s a princess! Thank you!”

“I told you, right? Elves are not supposed to love humans.”

“Okay! They give me massages all the time, and they keep teasing me about how big my breasts are… . He was fiddling with it, saying it was soft… .”

“Ian. Didn’t I tell you? Elves shouldn’t love humans!”

“Okay, okay, thank you… . Heehee!”

… This is shit.

It’s a very funny piece of shit.

Lucia, leaning back in her chair, went into a full-blown viewing mode.

“Helenaaa-!”

The next target was Helena.

“Our cute youngest. I’m not even 20 yet!”

“… Yes.”

“You are 6 years older than me… . omg! Am I too old? ? Lucia and I are 4 years apart… . He’s even a year older than Ian… .”

“Yes… .”

“That’s right?! It’s too much… . Hmm-!”

Vivian, who was counting her age with her fingers, hugged Helena from behind.

Of course, Helena did not answer.

“Okay, Helena. I feel confident. know? yes? Is Helena your older sister?”

“Yes… .”

“Hee hee! Hehe!”

Vivian smiled and hiccuped as if she was satisfied.

And then her eyes returned to me.

‘… for a moment. Could it be that I am the next target?’

For a brief moment, I made eye contact with Lucia.

She grinned and nodded.

What is that look of anticipation on your face?

“… Ian! You!”

“… … .”

Vivian’s dreamy eyes turned to me.

He stiffened his face and looked straight at me, but then his expression suddenly melted.

“Hee, heehee… . Hehehe… .”

Vivian smiled brightly like a happy puppy and then spoke.

“Handsome.”

“… Yes?”

Vivian walked past Helena and stood in front of me.

Suddenly she covered my face with both hands.

“What… .”

“Try to say sister.”

“Yes… ?”

“Try to say sister.”

I looked over Vivian’s shoulder.

There, Lucia was on the verge of death from laughter.

“Self! Sister~ Try it!”
