“… shoot!”
Within a few hours of starting to drink, rc rembered sothing she had utterly forgotten.
“Estert!!! That’s why I! I really respect ya!”
“I know, I know. You just said the sa thing.”
“You did a fantastic job managing the party and bringing together such oddballs… You’re incredible!”
“S-Sure.”
Astard’s face and arms went red after only a few glasses of wine, and he began rambling incoherently.
rc was reminded that Astard was a lightweight drinker. He would start acting like this when he was drunk. That’s why rc couldn’t unwind and also have a drink.
“You’re probably the only one that drinks like this. We should bring you so snacks!”
It was common knowledge that if you drank on an empty stomach, you’d get drunk faster. Astard, like rc, hadn’t eaten since this morning. The booze would, of course, circulate quickly.
“Theeen I’ll ask Kena to bring sothiiing…”
Astard pushed himself up and staggered towards the door.
“Hey! Wait! Just call her using the Transmission Magic Stone!”
“Oh yea…”
Astard slumped back in his chair and, with a languid movent, picked up the Magic Stone on the desk. Even rc couldn’t decide whether to laugh or be amazed when she saw Astard swing the Magic Stone multiple tis.
“KENAAAA!”
After Astard spoke out in a passionate, Mana-filled voice, there was a brief silence.
‘Um… Excuse ?
Kena’s perplexed voice echoed throughout the room.
‘G-Great Sage? Is there sothing wrong’
“Yes! It is , the Great Sage! Wait… What was I going to order?”
Astard gave rc a puzzled expression, as if he’d forgotten what he was going to order from Kena. rc scratched her head a few tis before snatching Astard’s Magic Stone.
Since it was her first ti using the stone, rc wasn’t sure whether she could handle it effectively, but she tried to channel mana into it for the ti being.
“Um, can you hear ?”
‘Is this you, Miss rc? What’s wrong with the Great Sage?’
Kena’s still perplexed voice was heard right away. rc chuckled as she struggled to keep Astard’s head from leaning on her.
“It’s nothing. We’re having a bit to drink but Astard ended up getting drunk.”
‘The Great Sage got drunk…’
“Pitiful isn’t it? Either way, could you bring us so snacks? Sothing that goes with alcohol.”
‘Sothing that goes with alcohol… We only have Goza here, would that suffice?’
“That sounds great, let’s go with that. Could you bring them to the room?”
rc asked nonchalantly, but she didn’t hear a response.
“Um, is there sothing wrong?”
‘I-Is it really okay for to co there?’
“Huh? Why wouldn’t it be? Astard is already drunk, and you’re not planning on staying long, right?”
‘That’s right, but… Okay… I’ll be there right away.’
The Mana flowing from the Magic Stone dimd and vanished just with that one phrase. rc took a sigh of relief.
Why did she act like that? Was she hoping to join us for a drink?
However, it was obvious that drinking with a drunk Astard was unthinkable due to the potential complications if he accidently slipped up. Furthermore, rc didn’t trust Kena.
She was planning to ask her to leave as soon as she gave them the snacks. Even if Kena was truly grateful to Astard and that was why she remained by his side, her ideals would be shattered if she saw him in this state.
In any case, there were no advantages to allowing Kena to stay any longer.
“Not that I don’t have a way to bring him back to his senses, but…”
“ESTERTTT!”
“Oh shut up! And don’t cling to ! You’re annoying!”
rc considered using Healing to sober Astard up, but it was sotis necessary to take a break like this. It was most likely unusual for Astard to let go of himself to this extent, based on the manner he spoke and Kena’s reaction. As a result, rc decided to let him drink as much as he wanted.
“Oh, Iriem!!! Why did you leave ?!”
“Let go of ! I’m not Iriem!”
It was alright to let Astard get drunk, but having him cling to rc’s waist was sowhat unpleasant for her. rc was reminded of Elea, a mber of Blazing Impact, by Astard’s sloppy behavior. rc would have happily let Elea hug her if it had been her.
Unfortunately, the drunk in front of her was not really attractive.
There was a little knock at the door as rc struggled to get him off.
“Excuse . Here is the Goza…”
Kena froze when she saw rc with Astard’s arm around her waist as she opened the door. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say she froze when she saw Astard’s hand around rc’s waist.
“G-Great Sage?”
“Oh? Kena, you’re here!”
Astard then imdiately let go of rc and crept on all fours to Kena after he saw her.
“HYA?!”
“OH KENA… Huh? Kena, you’ve gotten so big haven’t you?”
Astard, who was on his hands and knees and staring up at Kenna from directly below, said sothing really foolish.
Anyone would appear big if they were standing straight and viewed from Astard’s point of view.
“Good grief… I’m sorry, Miss Kena. I’ll take care of him so you’re free now.”
“Ouch…!”
rc lightly kicked the pervert, who was on all fours and staring up at Kena, and then received the bowl full of Goza from her along with the two sets of knives and forks that ca with it.
“Um, what is wrong with the Great Sage?”
“Oh, don’t mind it. He’s always like this when he gets drunk. It may have given you the wrong idea, but he’s only like this when he’s drunk, so don’t hold it against him.”
As she tried to close the door, rc was resisted by Kena, who peeked into the room. rc showed Kena a kind smile and pushed her away, shutting the door swiftly.
“… you sure know the Great Sage well…”
rc swore she heard a cold, heartless voice just before the door shut behind Kena, but she pretended she didn’t hear it.
I must be hearing things due to the alcohol. That’s definitely it1.
Silva: That girl is very sus, I still can’t figure if she’s a spy or is she simply jealous
