Chapter 33: Takeaway
After successfully completing the Mobile Force Tournant, we decided to have a consolation party at a tavern.
[This place has very good food, especially the fried chicken.]
Mira’s words made drool.
The last ti I had fried chicken was back in my previous world.
I wonder if they also put lemon on fried chicken in this world?
Wanting to eat as soon as possible, I quickly closed shop.
[Have you guys forgotten anything?]
[Yuusuke-san sure is always so light on your feet.]
rle, carrying a heavy-looking backpack, looked envious.
.
I’ve closed the shop for the day, but I don’t have luggage of any kind.
The only things I carry in hand are monster cards and pop rockets in case I get into a fight.
Today’s card would be the C-card Giant Crow. I choose you!
[Oiiiii, Minerva! It’s ti to go.]
I called out to Minerva, who was talking about sothing with Baron Essel a few distance away.
No, rather than talking with him, Minerva seed to be being followed around by Baron Essel.
[Minerva-dono, hear my plea. Please give the extra prize Elixir to !]
[To cure the King’s illness huh……]
[Indeed! He’s relatively well at the mont, but sooner or later, his health will fail again because of the curse. I beg of you, please allow us to be prepared for that mont.]
Baron Essel has often tried the 10-rim ga, but he has yet to win the prize.
[Minerva-dono, please!]
[However, this is sothing Yuusuke gave ……]
Baron Essel himself is rather persistent.
I guess that’s just how valuable the Elixir is huh……
It’s just, we can’t wait here for this matter to be resolved any longer.
The dungeon is said to have more powerful monsters at night.
All is well for people as strong as Minerva, but I’m an amateur who would be a heavy burden for rle and Mira, who are still newbies.
[Minerva, we’re gonna go first.]
[Eh, w- wait!]
Minerva rummaged around in his bag and took out the Elixir.
[Ei, just take the d*mn thing!]
[Ohh, thank you. We are in your debt, and we will definitely repay this.]
[I don’t want to take any gratuities from the King. You don’t have to mind the repaynt, so just leave alone. Yuusuke is leaving already.]
Minerva gave him the Elixir and was finally liberated from Baron Essel’s repeated pleas.
[Alright, I will deliver this dicine to the castle’s treasury. Yuusuke-dono, we will be excusing ourselves.]
Baron Essel rushed off with his n.
After watching them leave, I turned to Minerva and asked.
[Is it really alright, giving that away for free?]
[Hmph, I don’t want to take money from the King.]
Minerva doesn’t seem to like the King.
Did sothing happen in the past?
[I see. Alright, it’s my treat tonight, so eat and drink as much as you like.]
[It’s not like I need Yuusuke to treat . I have money.]
[I want to congratulate you all on a great battle!]
I put my hand around Minerva’s shoulders.
[Alright, let’s go!]
[Get off…… (No way, no way, no way. It would be great if ti just stands still at this mont forever……)]
Chatting about what to eat and what to drink, we returned to the surface.
I think I had frolicked quite a lot that night.
My life here had beco more stable and I had my own apartnt.
Sales were good, and it would be easy to get a license if I wanted to buy one.
I could safely do business anywhere I want.
Moreover, I was dealing with trendy toys and the tournant was a huge success.
I guess I couldn’t help feeling bolder.
[Let’s make the tournant bigger next ti!]
[That sounds nice, rle. In that case, I should also try having a trophy for the champion.]
[What’s that?]
[A big championship cup, a symbol for the champion. It will be passed down from one champion to another. I’ll ask Sanaga-san to make a magnificent one for .]]
[Mnhh~~ That makes feel excited. Miss, more beer for !]
[I also want to win the prize next ti. Ahh, I’d like to have another glass of wine.]
Both rle and Mira were strong drinkers and emptied their glasses one after another.
[Yuusuke, drink more too. What would you like next?]
Minerva is being very gentle tonight.
[I think I’d like sothing a little sweet.]
[If that’s the case, the white wine I’m drinking is delicious.]
[Heehhh, may I have a sip then?]
[Ehh……]
I took the glass and tried Minerva’s wine.
It’s a white wine with a thick, rich feel in the mouth.
Unlike its na though, the color is more yellowish than white.
[Ah, this is delicious. I’ll also have that bottle of yours.]
[Unnn…… It’s sweet……]
[Ehh?]
[It’s nothing. Enough with that, just drink!]
Minerva pushed the bottle of alcohol to , and we gulped it down together.
All four of us were in high spirits, indulging in plenty of food and drinks. Unusually, I ended up drinking until I beca heavily intoxicated.
By the ti we left the restaurant, I was completely smashed, and with Minerva supporting , I was barely able to stand.
[Yuusuke-san, are you alright?]
[I’m fine, I’m fine. Just that much won’t get drunk.]
[Yeah, this looks worrying.]
I’m aware that I can’t properly articulate my words.
I think I drank a little too much.
Co to think of it, tonight’s Minerva had been unusually urging to drink more alcohol.
[I’ll bring Yuusuke ho, so don’t worry. You two should go straight ho.]
[I guess he’d be safe with Minerva-san escorting him.]
[In that case, good night~~]
As the two disappeared from sight, Minerva’s voice beca a little gentler.
[My house is closer. Do you want to stay the night?]
[Ehh, I feel bad……]
[Don’t worry, it’s all going according to plan……]
[Plan?]
[Like I said, don’t worry!]
Hmmm, because of the alcohol, my brain refuses to think.
[Alright, I’m gonna stay at Minerva’s house.]
So as not to cause any trouble, I put my shaky legs out in front.
Minerva lends his shoulder.
Right next to my face is Minerva’s silver mask, this is the kind of gentle person he is.
[Sohow, there’s this nice womanly sll. I wonder where that’s coming from.]
[Silly, you’re just drunk……]
[Is that so?]
I was in a good mood as I walked down the street at night.
(Just to be clear here, but there won’t be any lewd developnts happening!)
