178 – Rest (2)
“Kayla. “Don’t drink too much.”
“Yes. “Please don’t worry.”
Contrary to my fears, Kayla was drinking her alcohol quite well.
As she said herself, it doesn’t seem to be a lie that she liked drinking.
The bottle of wine ran out in an instant, so Julia brought a new bottle.
As she often drinks, her drinking capacity was quite heavy.
But when she drinks, her face turns red and her eyes become droopy.
Kayla was still drinking her drink, looking the same.
“Okay. “Then it would be okay to drink something a little stronger, right?”
“Yes. “It doesn’t matter.”
A liquor that looks expensive at first glance. It seemed quite poisonous.
When I opened her cap, her subtle fruity scent passed by.
Then Catalina, who had been watching next to her, approached with her eyes sparkling.
“Oh. “This looks expensive.”
“This is alcohol that is even supplied to the royal palace. “As strong as it is, the quality is guaranteed.”
I was curious, so I tried to get just one drink.
Kayla held my hand in hers with a nervous expression.
“Master. “I will drink it for you.”
“I’m just trying to have one drink.”
“No. “I think it would be better for me to drink it alone.”
It seems that Kayla already knows about this drink.
This means that the drink is quite strong enough for her to warn about.
There must be a reason why they are desperately trying to stop me.
“Everyone, please drink in moderation. “It’s a drink that most alcoholic drinkers don’t drink often.”
How harsh can it be that even the owner of a restaurant warns him about it?
It was disappointing that the frequency could not be measured accurately.
“Don’t worry. Mister. “You know how strong I am when it comes to alcohol.”
“I know you got so drunk last time that you crawled out on all fours.”
“…That was when I was young.”
“A few months ago, I sneaked out of the request center, got drunk, and was dragged away by the maid…”
“No, that doesn’t matter!”
Julia grunted and covered her master’s mouth.
From the looks of it, he has a history of severe drunkenness.
‘There is a reason why Schnella is scolding Julia.’
At first, she thought Schnella was treating Yulia too harshly.
The more I listened to the stories around her, the more Yulia’s eccentricities were revealed.
If there is no one to control her, wouldn’t she get worse?
Fortunately, because of Schnella’s presence, her accident did not seem to occur.
“Anyway, everyone, drink to your heart’s content. “Because opportunities like this are rare.”
Julia and Catalina had already drunk enough.
Kayla was still holding on without any hesitation.
Maybe it’s because she’s so calm that she usually doesn’t say anything and stays quiet.
It seems that the two also have a passion for winning.
As these two people had pride in their drinking, it seemed unlikely that they would let Kayla go easily.
She got up from the table with Tyria in tow and headed to her table at the bar.
“Ugh…”
“Okay. Tyria. “Drink some water.”
Tyria worked hard for me even though she was weak in alcohol.
She leaned against the table, her body tilting, barely holding on to her cup.
“Thank you…”
Tyria took her water cup and drank it with difficulty.
I helped her as she stumbled, as if she had not yet come to her senses.
Then she leaned her head on my shoulder.
Naturally, the distance became closer.
Erina, who was watching next to her, glared at her, but Tyria, who was out of her mind, did not notice.
“It’s okay. Erina.”
“But…!”
He stopped her from venting her anger as if it was unfair to her.
Didn’t she just borrow her shoulder?
Moreover, unlike Kayla, Tyria had no feelings for me.
Although others may not know, she could not direct her anger towards Tyria.
The owner, who was watching the scene, smiled and left a comment.
“Haha. “It’s hard for me to be stuck between two people.”
“Because they are both precious colleagues.”
“Really? “To me, they don’t seem like ordinary colleagues.”
He was right. Because Erina is more than just her colleague, she is like her lover.
But Tyria was right among her ordinary colleagues.
From Noble mtl dot com
“In my opinion, both of them…”
“Don’t say anything that will cause trouble. “Not Tyria.”
Even if you answered positively, the owner shook his head as if he didn’t believe it.
I smiled slyly as if I didn’t know.
Anyway, there was no reason for Tyria to like me, so she dismissed it as an illusion.
“Anyway, drink in moderation. “Because Julia likes alcohol so much.”
“You seem quite close, have you known each other for a long time?”
“That’s right. “It’s been at least ten years since we met.”
The owner said she was acquainted with the previous requesting director.
She said that she had seen his student Julia since she was young.
She has worked as a receptionist since she was ten years old, and even then she is said to have been saying that she would become a commissioning director.
“I didn’t believe it at first. But now she has a title, so it’s almost certain.”
“I heard that there are still competitors left.”
“Ah. He could never do it. “He has no motivation, and they say he’s not good at work.”
So far, I am barely holding on because I am blood related to the former client director.
It is said that it seems difficult for her to surpass Julia’s achievements in fact.
“I was honestly surprised to hear that you defeated Ragnar and Katrin.”
“Thanks to my colleagues.”
“There must be a reason why such colleagues follow you.”
Instead of alcohol, the owner served luxurious tea, fruits, and nuts.
I thought it was a simple bar, but was there even tea available?
“Please continue to get along well with Julia. “Because it’s weaker and more fragile than I thought.”
Julia and I were able to rise to this level because we had each other.
Because I want to maintain a good relationship with her.
I hoped that our relationship would continue until the end.
“Tyria. “At least eat some of this.”
“Yes…”
While spending time taking care of Tyria, who was very drunk.
There were still more bottles of alcohol on the table.
“Come on! “This is a dark beer that is reputed to be the strongest of all beers…!”
There were already several bottles of alcohol lying around on the table.
Yulia was staggering, feeling as if her strength was getting out of hand.
Catalina still looks fine, but she seemed to be slowly getting drunk.
Kayla was still drinking, looking the same.
“By the way, that lady. “The alcohol is stronger than I thought?”
The owner was also watching the table, probably quite surprised.
Even if you count with your eyes, I think I drank three bottles by myself.
Kayla didn’t even blush.
“Then one more drink…!”
Before Yulia knew it, even her hand holding her glass was shaking. She tried to stop him because she thought it would be dangerous if she drank any more.
Kayla quickly filled Julia’s glass.
“I think it would be best to stop soon.”
When I tried to get up, the owner stopped me.
“Leave it alone. “You have to get it right once before you will come to your senses.”
In the end, Yulia, who was pouring down her drink, hit her head on the table and fell down.
She said from the beginning that she drank too much, and the first thing she did was collapse.
The only people left are Catalina and Kayla.
For her information, Malcolm, who had stopped her, was already drunk and dozing off in her corner.
“Okay. Since one of us has gone, let’s both drink now…!”
Kayla nodded her head without answering and poured her drink into Catalina’s glass.
The atmosphere was becoming increasingly heated as they exchanged drinks with each other.
“Hey… “I think I need to stop it slowly…”
Serika, who was watching with bated breath, was also fidgeting with worry.
Before I knew it, there were over ten bottles of alcohol.
He didn’t even touch the food and was only drinking alcohol.
A moment when you feel like it will be really dangerous if things continue like this.
“Khaaa…”
Catalina eventually emptied her last bottle and lay down on the floor.
In the meantime, she didn’t let go of her drink and fell down.
Even if it was just a useless desire to win, it was scary.
“Okay. “Let’s all get up.”
When the drinking party was finally over, I cleaned up after myself.
Celica helped Catalina up, who had fallen on the floor.
I walked over to help Kayla sit at the table.
“Kayla. Great job.”
“…”
“Thank you. “Thanks to you, I was able to get through safely.”
“Did I really help you…?”
Unlike usual, her tongue was very twisted in her voice.
Of course, there was no way that Kayla would be fine.
It made me laugh because she always insisted on a firm and polite way of speaking.
“Yes. “Thank you very much.”
“…Then.”
Kayla suddenly stands up and grabs my face.
Before I fell in surprise, Kayla hugged me tightly.
And let’s check the face of Kayla who came into my arms.
I could see that the pupils were bright red and dilated.
“Can I be allowed to kiss my lord…?”
Kayla begs with a voice full of moisture.
Of course, Erina, who was watching next to her, turned into a cold look in her eyes.
