The party began solemnly.

This is because the funerals had to be held for the three middle-aged knights who were the only ones sacrificed among the stationed knights.

However, even though it was a funeral, it wasn’t that great.

It ended with everyone pouring alcohol on the simple grave and leaving a few words.

I also sprinkled alcohol on the grave for the last time and briefly said a silent prayer.

After the small funeral, everyone started laughing and having fun.

Did you think that you should enjoy even the share of the person who left?

It was visible that everyone was trying to forcibly raise the tension.

‘I guess I’m not used to death yet.’

Is it because they are young female knights?

No, that would be a normal reaction.

Basically, the death of someone close to you.

It would be normal if you couldn’t get used to it.

It’s not particularly sad.

If I put my mind to it, I can finish Wonderland without sacrificing any of those three.

However, Cheshire’s attack progress has increased, and the event has ended normally.

There is no reason to do such a troublesome thing.

Rather, wouldn’t the sacrifice of those three people have been the best outcome in this Wonderland?

‘Well, that’s the way it is, so don’t have any hope of surviving. I don’t know if it’s possible to have hope even after death.’

Now that I think about it, what was its name?

‘hmm… . I already forgot.’

Anyway, how are you?

It’s an extra anyway.

*

“Uuuu… .”

“Wow… . How on earth… .”

“Drurling… .”

Bottles of alcohol rolling around and knights falling down while drunk.

And in the meantime, Bir remains sane.

Here’s how this mess happened.

As time got late, people left and only those who drank well in their own way remained.

Then, one of the knights suggested that in order to dispose of the remaining alcohol, they should make a bet to see who would survive the longest, and everyone got drunk and actively expressed their intention to participate.

Stupid things that don’t hurt me are always fun.

If you even compete with it, the fun is doubled.

While I was watching the knights’ drinking battle, I suddenly became curious about what would happen if Bir got drunk.

I heard that they were trained not to get drunk, but wouldn’t they get drunk someday if they dumped 50 percent alcohol into their stomachs?

I wanted to see Bir, who was playful but had lost control and became more honest, so I invited her to participate in the competition.

But contrary to my expectations, Bir drank strong alcohol without hesitation like water. The knights who were struggling to empty their cups began to fall one by one.

‘What kind of training does it take to become like that?’

“Ugh, why am I doing something like this tomorrow… .”

Liza, who was watching the game with me, sighed heavily.

“It’s okay for about a day. It’s a good day to solve a long homework.”

“Of course.”

Actually, I’m not sure if the monster army was a long-standing project.

When I came to the East Continent, the legion was already on the verge of annihilation, and subjugation was possible at any time if the empire wanted to.

Maybe they were intentionally leaving the monsters behind.

In the name of keeping the legion in check, to send the unsavory knights into exile to the Eastern Continent… For the same reason.

‘It’s none of my business.’

Whatever the purpose, that is the matter of the superiors.

I just defeated the monster army to end the event, and from the knights’ perspective, they were finally able to return home.

It’s something worth commemorating.

“Now that I think about it, Liza. I’ve always wondered, why are there only female drivers on the Eastern Continent?”

Before coming to the East Continent, I had the illusion that the garrison knights consisted only of men.

I’m not sure why I made that mistake, but since the single gender itself was correct, it seems like there was some confusion in information.

Anyway, I heard that it is being run as a single gender due to some complicated circumstances, but what exactly are those circumstances?

“…That’s a complicated situation… .”

“Is it confidential that you can’t even tell me?”

“Oh, it’s not like that… . this… . Because it’s not as big of a deal as I thought… .”

“If it’s nothing special, can’t you tell me?”

Liza hesitates.

They were feeling embarrassed, as if they were forcibly revealing a shameful dark history.

“I also heard this, so it’s not accurate.”

“It doesn’t matter as long as I can convince you.”

“Hu… . So, when it was operating as a mixed gender… . The female knights suffered a severe loss of power… . They said there was no choice but to have a single gender.”

“……Loss of power among female knights… ? ah… .”

The average age of the drivers is young. If a man and woman in their prime of energy live together in an unfamiliar place, it is more difficult to avoid an accident.

Especially if you live in danger all the time, stress will build up even for a knight who has received rigorous training. Do you have a colleague of the opposite sex who will reliably protect you in such a situation?

It’s inevitable that our eyes will meet.

‘I understand that the supplies include condoms. ‘How long have you been fucking me?’

As Liza said, it really wasn’t a big deal.

“Is it because of Philia that you decided to be a woman instead of a man?”

“That’s right. The captain volunteered at a time when the organization method was changing. I don’t know if there was another special class, but since the captain was the only one interested in the East Continent, it was naturally decided that she would be a woman.”

I knew it.

The reason she was chosen as a woman instead of a man was simply to follow the gender of her strongest fighter, Philia.

Why did Philia show interest in the Eastern Continent?

In order to become stronger, it would have been better to chase down first-class heinous criminals in the empire.

‘Now that I think about it, Gordon was in charge of violent criminals, right?’

If the opponent was Gordan, there would not have been a situation where Filia would have stepped forward.

But I can’t just play and do nothing, so I guess I volunteered to go to the East Continent.

Maybe the monster itself had personal feelings.

Either way, it doesn’t really matter now that both causes have disappeared.

dump-.

While I was lost in my thoughts, the last knight finally fell, and the winner of this crazy drinking match became Bir.

“I’m going to stuff these idiots into the barracks.”

Liza got up from her seat and started carrying the scattered articles one by one.

The unit commander is having a hard time.

The person called the captain must be stuck somewhere and training at this very moment.

Or maybe I’m just getting some sleep for tomorrow’s training.

I was somewhat familiar with the sight of Liza taking care of her boss’s work, so I felt like my conscience was being pricked for some reason.

Liza left to put the knights in the barracks, and Bir returned with victory.

“Master. I won.”

“Your drinking capacity is always impressive. Well done.”

Bir’s face, way of speaking, and gait are no different from usual.

Even though I drank so much alcohol, I felt like I wasn’t drunk at all.

I definitely thought so… .

“The reward is the master’s knee pillow… . Please excuse me.”

Bir sat down next to me so quickly that I couldn’t see him, and immediately stuck his head in.

The reward is a knee pillow.

I never said that.

“…If you’re tired, why don’t you go in and sleep?”

“No. it’s okay. Instead, please pat my head.”

“You suddenly became more proactive?”

“Because I won.”

Virda does not usually reveal her emotions.

Even if you win, you won’t suddenly become more active.

“You’re drunk.”

“No. Not drunk. Please pat my head.”

“Okay. I’ll do it for you, so calm down.”

I’m drunk. I’m drunk.

After all, no matter how much training you have, if you don’t get drunk after drinking that much strong alcohol, you’re not human.

Since I was responsible for inviting them to participate, I patted their heads with sincerity.

“……Not enough.”

“Is it not enough?”

“The owner always emphasized punishment for personal injury. I don’t think I’m being compensated enough.”

“Oh, are you going to express your dissatisfaction now?”

“That’s right. Because I won the match today.”

“I don’t know what the logic is, but I will admit that I was a bit negligent.”

“Then… . I wish you could reward me more… .”

I felt a warm body temperature on my knees.

Bir was gently smoothing my knees with his hands.

This is a bit… It’s dangerous.

” Punishment for personal injury… . yes. If you do well, you should be rewarded, and if you don’t, you should be punished. So what do you think about me being kidnapped by Cheshire this time?”

“…!”

Bir was astonished.

There was no significant change in his expression, but I could tell because the hand that was touching his knee was shaking significantly.

Immediately, Bir stood up and hit his head on the floor.

“Sorry. I had to protect my master, but I couldn’t do anything. I had no choice but to watch as my master was kidnapped right in front of my eyes. I am an incompetent maid who cannot even protect my master. This sin leads to death—”

“Wow, calm down. Because it’s a joke.”

I brought this up with the intention of getting into trouble with the reward, but I’m embarrassed to see such an overreaction.

Normally, I wouldn’t have hesitated to apologize like this.

Is it because I was drunk after all?

“Cheshire is like a kind of natural disaster, so it is impossible to prevent it in the first place. So I don’t plan on blaming you.”

How can we stop someone with the ability to teleport?

Is it possible with Rupiah?

You also blocked Katsy’s teleportation.

I don’t know how they did it.

Of course, there is no need to tell Bir that fact, so let’s skip it.

“And now that he has lost his power and has become an ordinary person, things like that will not happen in the future. So don’t blame yourself too much.”

Bir raises his head cautiously.

His face was still expressionless, but I could tell that he was suffering in many ways.

I tapped my knee for that Birr.

Bir, realizing what that meant, slowly sat down next to me and laid down on my lap again.

As I continued stroking his head like that, Bir slowly closed his eyes.

I fell into a deep sleep.

‘It’s fresh.’

This is the first time for Bir to show such an emotional reaction.

It might be okay to get drunk like this sometimes.
