154 – Drink (1)
Alcohol boasts such a long history that it can safely be said that it has been with human history.
From Noble mtl dot com
Many manufacturing methods from thousands of years ago still remain, and the manufacturing process itself is mostly similar.
Also, in the past, there was not much clean water, so alcohol was used instead. Other than that, it makes you feel better, cheers you up, etc.
However, too much is too much, and if you drink too much, you are bound to get into an accident.
Not only can normally sane people cause trouble, but in severe cases, even crimes can occur.
Like this, alcohol plays various roles in human civilization. Whether positive or negative.
“······Shivar?”
“Huh?”
“I think I’m a little drunk. Are you okay?”
“It’s okay.”
Is this really okay? Luna thought so.
I knew long ago that Sivar had arrived at the banquet hall. She just said hello late because she was busy meeting various people.
Then, when he had a short break, Kara came to see him. She asks him to take care of Shivar as she now has to meet people.
At first, she didn’t know why he was asking her to take care of him, but now that she was with him, she understood what he meant.
“Delicious.”
“Aren’t you drinking too much?”
“I’m not drunk. It’s okay.”
Shivar is drinking too much. So much so that the viewer is worried.
Once we drank one glass, it didn’t take long before we refilled it, talked a few times, and then drank again.
There were many different types of alcohol at the banquet, but Sivar chose only the sweet ones.
They say they don’t like what I wrote or something. Luna was drinking too, but she didn’t drink much.
“Isn’t that really getting you drunk?”
“Well… I’m a little worried.”
Ellie approached her before she knew it and raised her concerns. Luna agreed with Ellie’s concerns.
Anyway, Shivar was holding a bottle of liquor in one hand and pouring it into a glass from time to time.
Sometimes, he tried to blow on the so-called bottle by drinking the whole bottle, but I somehow managed to stop it.
The rumor that he is a wild person is widespread anyway, so I’ll just ignore it, but shouldn’t he at least maintain his dignity?
“You drink too. Now.”
“Uh…Thank you.”
“Elido.”
What’s even more interesting is that not only did she drink it for herself, she also shared it with others.
Her face was cute and funny as she tried to give in while being drunk. Ellie also smiled and accepted.
“Luna. Is this your first time drinking alcohol too?”
“Once upon a time, I secretly drank it when I saw adults drinking it. When I woke up the next day, my head hurt a lot. What about you?”
“It’s my first time. So I’m going to drink moderately. My mom said that if you drink in a place like this and get drunk, you’ll definitely wake up in bed the next day.”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
“With a man.”
“··· ···”
Luna became nervous. She immediately realized what Ellie was talking about.
That’s just how alcohol is. A drink that is excellent for bringing out her desires as well as her sincerity.
Moreover, Ellie not only has great looks but also her body is great. There must be someone approaching her with shady intentions.
“Hello, beautiful ladies. Can you excuse me for a moment?”
Like right now. Luna looked at the man who approached her out of the blue.
Judging from her grumpy comments and her face, she appears to be a noblewoman.
Looking at her expression, she put as much kindness as she could, but Luna could tell. The man’s eyes are on Ellie.
‘The focus keeps going back and forth.’
They say there is nothing that a creature like a man can do, but it was too much news. They probably knew that Ellie was a commoner and were trying to do something about it.
Even Shivar next to him was blatantly ignoring him. Did he think he was better than Shivar?
Just as Luna was about to politely refuse, Sivar intervened.
“Go.”
“Yes?”
“Just go.”
Shivar issues an order to welcome guests. The blush on his face suggests he’s a little drunk.
My skin was already pure white, so it stood out even more. It feels strangely lively.
“······Excuse me, but what right do you have to say that?”
“Chest.”
“Yes?”
“You’re looking at Ellie’s breasts. Go away.”
I don’t know anything else, but this seems certain. Sivar was a little drunk.
Normally, I would have spoken calmly, but now my voice has become slightly raised. It means that things are getting out of control little by little.
Was it because of that? Because Sibar’s voice was so loud, it was gradually attracting the attention of those around him.
The man was quite embarrassed and looked around, frowned, and took his steps.
It seems like there was a crazy person and they decided it would be best to avoid them at risk of harm.
“Look at that. If you imagine getting very drunk and waking up in the same bed with a man like that the next day… How terrible is it?”
“That’s right. I guess I should drink it in moderation.”
“Delicious.”
Be that as it may, Shivar poured alcohol into a glass. It wasn’t polite for him to hold the bottle and pour it, but he didn’t care.
I’m starting to worry now. No matter how much you drink, you will definitely get drunk if you drink too much.
Moreover, the alcohol content is not that low. No one drinks an entire bottle in the first place.
“Shivar. Shouldn’t you really stop drinking now?”
“I don’t like it.”
“Let’s just leave it alone. If he falls, we can take him with him.”
“Umm…”
Will Ellie be able to bring Sibar, who is drunk as he pleases, to safety?
I didn’t think Sivar would do something strange to Ellie. She can even tolerate being held.
Of course, it would be hard to take Ellie alone, so she plans to take her with her later. Or maybe she asks someone else to do it.
‘It doesn’t look like I’m going to collapse.’
My body is so strong that I feel like I will wake up quickly even if I get drunk.
Right now, I’m drinking more than I’m drinking, so wouldn’t it be okay if I just take a little rest?
‘Anyway, there are a lot of people.’
Luna looked around her, holding a glass of wine in one hand. She said it was obviously a freshman banquet and many people attended.
Among them, there were some who stood out the most. That’s Kara in her dancing uniform and visiting dignitaries from Dong Dynasty.
Apart from Kara wearing a dancer’s uniform, the people from Dong Dynasty were wearing traditional clothes, not dresses.
An overall black outfit with some red mixed in. The belly band that holds the waist in place is gold.
Lastly, the flowers decorated on the head. It stands out in a different way from Kara.
‘Did you say she was a princess from the Hwan Empire?’
I heard that through rumors. The only people worthy of wearing oriental clothing are those from the Huan Empire.
She doesn’t know why she came to the freshman banquet. Perhaps she was looking for suitable talent.
It’s not something she needs to worry about.
‘Master also wore clothes like that…’
Suddenly, the teacher who taught me came to mind. My teacher also remembers him wearing that type of clothing.
Although the face could not be seen because of the smiling mask, the clothes were clearly visible.
I wanted to go and ask about my teacher, but I didn’t have the courage to do so.
“Ah. I drank it all.”
“······What?”
It was around the time when I was staring at the princess of the Hwan Empire. Before we knew it, Sivar had cured all of his illnesses.
He and Ellie only had one drink, but he drank it all by himself. How much did you drink?
“I want to drink more.”
“You can stop drinking now…”
“I don’t like it.”
One of Sivar’s characteristics. Very stubborn. And that’s limited to food.
Luna let out a sigh as she watched Sivar move away, holding her bottle of liquor in one hand.
If you leave it like this and an accident occurs, it will be a pain in the ass. Moreover, today is a banquet attended by many people.
The dark history will be shameful, and the evaluation of Shivar may worsen.
“Ellie, stay here for a moment. I’ll be right back.”
“Yes. Then, I’ll go to the bathroom for a moment.”
Luna hurriedly followed Sivar, who went straight to where her drink was.
As I followed along, I was near the Princess of the Hwan Empire that I saw earlier, but she didn’t seem to be paying much attention to this area.
‘But where did the escort go? ‘Could it be that he’s alone?’
Usually, a princess is accompanied by a guard. But is it because it’s an academy?
There was no one who could be called a bodyguard around the princess. It seems like there is at least one person, but even that person is away.
For a moment, I wondered if she was a princess, but looking at her simple yet gorgeous outfit, I was half sure.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’
Luna looked at the place where Sivar had arrived. Next, Sivar picks up the bottle of alcohol placed on the table.
It had not even been opened yet and was corked. I think I need a separate opener.
“Shivar. I need an opener for this…”
Pong!
However, Sivar pulled it out with his own hands without using an opener. Luna was dumbfounded for a moment.
They say that if your body is good, your brain doesn’t have to suffer, but I don’t know how to express this.
When Luna stopped thinking for a moment, Sivar poured alcohol into her glass.
The red tinge made Sivar’s mouth water just by looking at it.
“Just drink that and be done with it, okay?”
“Yes.”
“Okay. Now… Where do you look?”
It’s okay to bring alcohol. But Shivar was looking somewhere else.
I don’t know if those eyes are directed at Kara or Grace, but that’s not the case at all. I’m looking at a completely unfamiliar person.
Luna also turned her head to follow Sibar’s gaze. Where she turned her head, there was the princess of the Hwan Empire whom she had seen earlier.
‘When did you come?’
Did you come here to look for alcohol? Luna was a little embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Princess Hwan Empire bit his lip and muttered softly.
“Ha, Mr. I can’t eat it because it looks like sh*t.”
“······?”
She mumbled in an Eastern language so I couldn’t understand what she was saying.
Luna is from the Matra Empire, and she only knew the language and official language of the Matra Empire.
She even had a different accent, so she couldn’t even understand the nuance. She said there was nothing she could do because the languages of the East and the West were different in structure.
“Do you feel like sh*t?”
“······Huh?”
“Hmm?”
But not Shiva. I don’t know why, but I understood everything the princess said.
It’s okay up to that point, but what’s more dangerous is talking to him.
That was when not only the princess of the Hwan Empire, but even Luna looked at Sivar.
“Would you like a drink?”
“What?”
“I feel good when I drink it.”
Shivar confidently offered a drink.
“hehehe.”
He was a little drunk and had a bright smile on his face.
