375 – Side Story: 183%
Women in the Eclipse world tend to be quite strong drinkers. I’m not sure if it’s because of his physical ability, but in any case, his drinking capacity was basically considerable.
Among them, the most unique person was Claudia.
Even though I drank wine by the oak barrel and drank vodka like water, I was never seen drunk, let alone had any problems with my body.
She was honestly curious. She wondered if Claudia could get drunk. And how much strong drink it would take for Claudia to get drunk.
But she never thought she would have the opportunity to check it out like this.
“…… “What percentage?”
“183%! “Of all the things I’ve made, you can say it’s the strongest!”
The once noisy room became quiet due to the frightening frequency. Everyone was looking at the clear glass bottle in Claudia’s hand.
The full story of the incident was like this.
Her mother sent a lot of something from her, saying that she had found some good alcohol to share with her girlfriend. The Popes who saw it said that her mother had sent something precious, but she couldn’t eat it in vain, so she cooked it herself and served it.
The situation grew rapidly as other women secretly joined in after seeing Floretta and Luna feeding me their homemade food. And just as the drinks were starting to run out, that’s what Claudia offered.
A product with 183% alcohol content.
‘What on earth is it made of?’
I took over the bottle and observed it slowly. At first glance, it was clear and transparent enough to make you think there was nothing there. The same goes for the bottle and the liquid inside the bottle.
Only the liquid sloshing near the entrance showed that something was inside.
“If it’s 183%, can’t it already be called alcohol?”
It is generally known that the upper limit for the purity of alcohol solution is around 96%. To increase purity beyond that, other chemical methods must be used.
In my world, 99% of spirits are so infamous that they are even banned from being brought on airplanes, but I couldn’t even guess what I would have to do to get 183%.
“No. Since it is 183% pure alcohol, it is also alcohol. “Why are you asking the obvious?”
Once the percentage exceeds 100%, isn’t it already inappropriate to call it alcohol? I looked at Claudia with puzzled eyes. He seemed completely unaware of his mistakes.
I sighed and uncorked the cork. As soon as the stopper was unscrewed, a strong, peculiar smell of alcohol mixed with the scent of peach rushed in.
‘…… ‘It’s not unusual.’
Even though I just smelled it, I felt slightly dizzy. Without any exaggeration, if I were an ordinary person, I felt like I could directly show you what it means to get drunk just by smelling something.
She handed the bottle to Caiquilia who was next to her. Caicilia put her nose to the mouth of the bottle and, frowning, threw half of it into her hand.
That Kaikylia reacted like that, so everyone seemed to be curious and put her nose to the mouth of the bottle, then frowned and returned it to me. Nicks even let out a little nausea.
“Anyone want to try it?”
After returning the bottle, Claudia asked a question as she poured the contents into a wine glass. No one came forward willingly, perhaps because they didn’t want to be the first to drink that strange substance. Everyone was slightly averting their gaze.
Except for Minerva, who is smiling brightly, and Caecilia, who has no reason to avoid eye contact, even if only because of her pride. Therefore, it was natural that the first order was Caecilia.
“Would you like to try courageously, Sir?”
“It is done. “Why would you drink such a disgusting and nauseating liquid?”
“I understand. There is nothing you can do if you are afraid. “I completely understand that it is such a strong drink.”
“…… “What did you say just now?”
It was an obvious provocation, but Caecilia was caught in it. An exasperated Kaikylia held out her hand. Claudia handed me a half-filled wine glass as if she had been waiting.
A dazzlingly clear liquid in a glass as if it contained air. After looking at it for a moment, Caecilia emptied her contents in one go.
“Whoa! Cough, Cough!”
And she coughed violently. Aurora quickly offered water, but Cai Kilia refused, even though she was gagging repeatedly. There was a strong scent of alcohol on her exhaled breath.
Claudia, who was laughing in her room, also took out her new glass and drank as much as she had given to Kai Kilia. Although the corners of her eyes were a little trembling, she looked much more stable than Cai Kilia.
“Two drinks might be too much, Sir.”
“… ….”
Caecilia did not answer. Hiccup, a hiccup was heard from her flushed face. Her eyes were getting droopy, and it looked like she was going to collapse any time soon.
If we consider that Caecilia is not a weak drinker as she is a woman who shares the strongest position in the empire with Minerva, it means that the alcohol content of the liquid, which can even be called alcohol, is truly enormous.
“…… “I need to rest for a while.”
In the end, Caecilia could not stand it for less than five minutes and staggered to her feet. She seemed to be walking precariously, but then she finally reached the room and closed the door. She was effectively defeated.
Aurora, who was next in line, had only had one sip, but she was wrapped in Iris’s arms and placed on the bed in her room. As two people fell in an instant, attention naturally turned to the next target.
“His Holiness the Pope.”
It was Floretta and Luna. Claudia held out her wine glass. The Popes who were snuggling next to me and feeding me the homemade food looked slightly embarrassed.
“Shouldn’t we make sure the relationship between beneficiaries is clear?”
“…… “Did you say Eun-won relationship?”
“Yes. “When we first visited the Holy Kingdom, what did you say when you gave us the kiss of the moon?”
“… ….”
Even though he knew that the intoxication of Moon’s Kiss was determined by the divine power, he complained that it was okay not to drink if the alcohol was weak.
As if recalling her memory, Floretta and Luna took the glasses with helpless expressions and drank them carefully. Luna is half, and Floretta is the remaining half.
After drinking, they both coughed cutely. Claudia also drank along. Once when Luna drinks and once when Floretta drinks. There were a total of 2 drinks.
“I’m a saint…… Why don’t we make a baby together? ….”
“We are already ready…… All you have to do is wrap it in my uterus…….”
Even when Floretta and Luna were very drunk and were making love to me, Claudia was fine except for her cheeks getting a little hot. There was no real monster.
Stella and Selene, who were trying to move them to their rooms before any further troubles arose, stopped by and got a drink each, and this time, Erica and Rize picked them up and laid them on the bed.
It wasn’t some kind of poison, but every time I drank one glass of it, the number of people decreased by one. Except for that non-standard being called Claudia.
‘…… ‘If it’s 183% ABV, maybe it’s poison?’
No, it seemed like the poison was right for now.
“Here, would you like to drink?”
“…… Me?”
Minerva smiled and took her drink, then immediately passed it to Nyx who was sitting next to her. Nicks, who unexpectedly took it, fainted less than three minutes later.
“I guess I got drunk quickly because my body was small.”
This was what he said while teleporting Nyx to the bed in his room. She didn’t think she would drink it alone, so Minerva took over the amount that everyone else drank and sipped it little by little.
“Would you like to hear an interesting fact, child?”
“Yes?”
“This is a liquid with some magical properties. And depending on your perspective, maybe not a little bit.”
As Minerva said that, she drank as many as four more glasses, and by the time Claudia finished them all, her face was already quite red.
Minerva, who had put down her last drink, thought she was getting warmer, loosened her collar slightly and entered her room, and the empty space in her room began to feel quite large.
Now, all that was left in the living room was a messy table, Claudia with a red face and breath laced with alcohol, and the knight commanders who were awkwardly crowded together.
Claudia held out her half-filled wine glass with her slightly shaking hands.
“Okay. Delta you too.”
The scent of alcohol and peach filled my mouth, the scent rose up and flowed back into my nasal cavity, and it tasted like I could tell where the stomach, including the esophagus, extends.
“So.”
She opened her mouth, deliberately setting down the empty wine glass so that it made a sound. Almost at the same time, an identical glass was placed in front of Claudia.
“Is this the conclusion reached at the meeting? Are you going to make her all drink and send her back to her room?”
“… ….”
“Looking at it, Minerva seems to have helped me quite a lot. “It’s impossible not to know when you say it so openly.”
“That’s right.”
“Where and how far was the plan?”
As if she had no intention of hiding it in the first place, Claudia immediately began explaining.
“…… “I didn’t mean to get Minerva’s help from the beginning.”
She said that at first she tried to ‘pretend’ to be drunk.
However, Lise, who could not see Claudia’s ridiculous acting, said that it would be better to get drunk for real and went to find Minerva, and Minerva, sensing her curiosity, joined in.
For Claudia and Minerva, it was just a 183% alcoholic beverage, but for everyone else, no matter how small the amount consumed, a peach-flavored liquid was created that immediately made them drunk.
The reason the alcohol content is 183% is because Claudia is 183cm tall, so we adjusted it to her number.
‘Then maybe the reason I wasn’t able to completely solve the problem of her alter ego was because I was helping Claudia the whole time she was in the other world.’
In fact, thinking about it now, it was even more strange that Minerva had been concentrating on research for several days, but she could not solve the problem of self-immolation. This is despite the fact that they have found a method called sensory dispersion.
However, it makes sense that during those few days, she was helping Claudia with her problem, not her alter ego problem. Once I found a way, it would have been completely resolved when I took Lana.
“Did you really have to do this?”
In response to my general question, Claudia blushed and twisted her body.
“Boo, you’re embarrassed…” ….”
