The dinner party that had been announced was held without telling Negi, who loved work, the truth.

“Sorry sorry! “I said I would do it, but I couldn’t come because I didn’t have time.”

“Drink a glass of beolju and shake it off.”

I poured Erintina a glass full of alcohol and made her drink it as punishment.

It was obvious that he was just saying he needed an excuse to drink, so he filled him with alcohol under the pretext of punishing him.

She didn’t miss out on this and instead enjoyed a refreshing one-shot drink, which heightened the mood of the drinking party.

“Kya~ What is this? Why is it so delicious?”

“I thought you might like it, so I specially ordered it.”

Erintina preferred the hot and clean taste rather than the sweet taste.

“There is a saying that Suhan says that even if you just brush by the collar, you are meant to be. “No matter where we have been and what we have been doing, we have already formed a relationship like this, so I hope that it will continue to be a relationship that can last for a long time.”

“You might have felt burdened by my sudden appearance, but thank you for accepting me so readily and being so kind to me.”

“Have a good time. “It’s hard to say something like this in front of someone, but this guy is truly the real deal.”

“I couldn’t help but notice that the boss is a good person.”

I felt ominous from the moment I said that I had nothing to say, but sure enough, the two people started putting gold on my face.

Goosebumps appear all over my body and my brows furrow.

Each glass was filled with alcohol with the intention of having a drink.

This liquor was the most expensive among the liquors I had prepared, and Mr. Negi swallowed dryly and said, as if he could sense that the color of the liquor was unusual.

“It seems like a rare drink, but is it okay for me to drink this much? “My conscience hurts.”

“Alcohol is alcohol.”

“This guy has a lot of money! When you can peel it and eat it, don’t take it out, just peel it off and eat it. “It’s okay for him.”

“It’s enviable that the boss has a lot of money, but that’s not a reason to eat it.”

“… … .”

“oh.”

Erintina let out an exclamation, perhaps impressed by Negi’s unexpected answer.

‘It looks a lot like Fran.’

Erintina’s eyes were on me, and I felt like I could understand what she was trying to say without saying anything.

“Erintina said it as a joke, but she really said it because it was okay. “If you need money for anything, please let me know.”

Mr. Negi shook his head in disapproval, then lifted the glass of alcohol I poured for him and drank it.

“Haha~ Wow, the way it goes down the neck is so neat.”

I looked happily at Negi, who let out an exclamation that came out naturally.

Perhaps because there was good alcohol, it seemed like as time went by, people became less wary of us.

“I drink a lot. Would you like some more?”

“yes. And I was drunk.”

“You’re drunk? “Your face looks fine.”

“I think it’s because I drank good alcohol. I don’t think there will be a hangover tomorrow. “I feel really comfortable.”

“okay? Then you should drink more!! Suhan, I’m running out of alcohol!! “Give me more!”

Erintina and Negi seemed to hit it off well, so they asked for more alcohol and had no choice but to grant it.

“Aren’t you drinking too much? He said he was drunk. “I think it would be best to drink it slowly.”

“Ah, is this really what I drank?”

Mr. Negi’s eyes shake when he sees the empty liquor bottle.

As if saying he was drunk wasn’t for nothing, he froze in shock when he saw the amount of liquor he had consumed.

“I didn’t drink it alone, so don’t be surprised. Erintina and I drank together next to each other.”

“Ah, right? I was surprised. “You think I drank it all.”

Mr. Negi, who had honestly confessed that he was drunk, was now slowly getting into trouble with his words.

Only the color of his face was fine, but his speech had slowed down for a while and he had started to feel a little drunk, but now he was completely drunk.

“Have some snacks. “Isn’t it delicious?”

“Suri is too tired. “Drink this too.”

To buy time to sober up, I suggested snacks, and while Negi was concentrating on the snacks, we continued drinking.

And Negi, who thought he had come to his senses a little, suddenly started sobbing.

“Ugh… Black! Hmm… Black!”

“Why are you crying all of a sudden? “Someone made me sad.”

Erintina quickly goes to Negi’s side and wipes away her tears.

Normally, it would be more sad if you comforted her when she was crying, so from then on, Negi’s tear party begins in earnest.

“No, no, I comforted you, but why are you crying more?”

“Hmm… Hmm… Black… I’m so thankful… Hmm… Thank you so much for looking up to me… Hmm… .”

“Ugh~ Did you cry because you were thankful? I’m grateful to Suhan for being so good to me. What’re you doing. “Come and comfort you too!”

“If you comfort her when she cries, she will feel sadder. “Just let me cry.”

“Huh!!”

Even if you wanted to cry, there wouldn’t have been a place where you could do so comfortably.

There are many types of crying.

It’s true that sad cries need to be comforted, but the reason Negi was crying right now was because she was happy.

Crying out of joy is better than crying until you feel relieved.

Mr. Negi, who had been crying in Erintina’s arms for a while, barely stopped crying when he began to hiccup.

Then he wiped his small, red eyes, which had swelled to twice their size, and raised his glass.

“Sniff! “Please give me a drink.”

“Puhaha!”

I gladly poured a full glass of wine into Mr. Negi’s glass.

I was glad because it seemed like the trust between us was growing.

And on this day, we were able to hear many personal stories from Mr. Negi, as if to prove that he opened his heart to us.

He didn’t talk about Franc, but he did say a lot of sad things about when he was imprisoned.

There was no need to do many things.

What Negi wanted was to make the story clear.

We were willing to spend our time helping her gain courage thanks to alcohol.

The effect of the company dinner was better than expected.

After the company dinner, he became a lot more comfortable dealing with me, and his love for our general store seemed to increase a lot.

In fact, there has been one problem with Mr. Negi’s behavior since long ago.

‘It means I’m trying to work too hard.’

When I didn’t have anything to do, I felt anxious and couldn’t sit still.

‘At least I grabbed a mop and wiped the dust-free area.’

But, as you know, our general store doesn’t have much to work with.

I was worried about what would happen when they started business if they were in such a difficult situation when they hadn’t even opened the door yet, but after the company dinner, it became increasingly rare to see them like that.

And now I have reached a level where I can truly relax and enjoy my break time.

It was said that he and Damon got along very well, and they were quite cute and spent their free time together.

Flap-!

“Aaaah!”

Piyooo~!

The discipline I gave him last time seemed to have had an effect, and even though I didn’t order him to, Damon grew bigger and gave Negi a ride on his back and went for a walk.

Even now, Damon was flying around with Negi-san on his back.

Unintentionally, thanks to Damon, Negi opened his eyes to a new hobby called flying.

‘I didn’t know you would listen so well to my command to get along. ‘

If the effect was this good, I think I should have taken discipline a long time ago.

Or, he may be cooperative because he has not yet recovered from the shock of his gender change.

‘Why did I become a female?’

The fact that the guy who called me a pervert has now become a female has huge implications.

I knew I was going around alone with strange thoughts, but I thought, what does that have to do with me?

‘I shouldn’t have left that alone.’

You are a damn son of a bitch.

Because they’re screwing me in so many ways.

She came back from a fun flight with Damon and spoke to me with a very excited expression.

“president! “Did you see Damon fly?”

“Sure, I saw it. “This is the first time I knew he could fly like that.”

It’s amazing that it manages to fly without dropping Negi.

“Boss, try flying too! “It feels really good.”

You never know what you will feel when performing aerobatics.

It was ridiculous to see that it was spinning around in the sky with excitement, as if it wasn’t dizzy, but instead of being scared, it was screaming because it was happy.

I thought he was a quiet person, but this was the first time I thought that maybe that wasn’t the case.

‘Well, there’s no law that says a well-behaved person can’t be crazy about amusement rides.’

I declined Mr. Negi’s recommendation.

I’m not interested because I’ve had the experience of jumping on his back and flying to the point where I’m sick of it.

And if I wanted to go on a ride, I didn’t have to ride on Damon’s back, it was something I could do with my own abilities.

“Don’t push yourself too hard. “I have a cold.”

“I will be careful. healthcare!”

No matter how much Damon cared, she is a commoner, not an awakened person.

Being exposed to that much wind was bound to cause health problems.

“By the way, did you know that today is the day the princess’s punitive force sets out to the contaminated area?”

“Yes. I know.”

“I’m thinking of going there today, would you like to go with me?”

“Do you mind if I come with you?”

“Of course, if we go together, we won’t be bored, so it’s a good thing for me.”

“Actually, I wanted to go too.”

Mr. Negi shyly accepted as if there was nothing to worry about.

I was planning on going to see if the subjugation team was well-organized, and I was curious to see if the SSR characters had joined there, but I thought going with Negi would be good in many ways, as it would allow me to take a break.

‘Plus, when you see kids of similar age, you’ll think of Fran.’

Although it’s strange to call Fran’s coming to the general store a ‘coincidence’, I still hope that Negi and Fran’s reunion happens by chance.

But that didn’t mean I was going to give up on the reunion of the two.

Wouldn’t it be a more dramatic reunion to meet your daughter while missing her?

“There will probably be quite a bit to see there. “Let’s go eat something delicious and look around.”

It seems like only yesterday that when we first met, he made people feel bad with his sad appearance, but now he shows a bright smile from time to time.

‘It’s still close, but I’ve recovered really quickly at this level.’

A stable environment would have had a big impact.

If he continues to improve like he is now, he will be able to show a good performance when he reunites with Fran in the future.
