After getting the juice, the conversation naturally shifted to casual chatting. The topic was, of course, about the coffee samples I had brought.
[I learned from Alice that the Dragon Kingās subordinatesā¦ā¦ or rather, everyone of the Four Great Demon Dragons prefer coffee over tea.]
[Yeah, it seems that Dragons generally prefer coffee to tea. This is just based on my knowledge, and thereās no concrete evidence for it, but it might be a species-related preferenceā¦ā¦ That said, it doesnāt mean that everyone likes coffee above all else. If I had to choose between tea and coffee, Iād pick coffee, but if I had to choose from all beverages, Iād prefer alcohol.]
[Ahh, I see, that was the case with Megiddo-san as well. Speaking of which, I was actually curious about somethingāāāā High-ranking Demons can usually negate status effects, but do they get drunk from alcohol?]
For example, I wouldnāt expect status effects to affect someone like Megiddo-san, and like in my case, Shiro-sanās blessing prevents me from getting drunk to a certain extent, so it wouldnāt be surprising if Megiddo-san had similar abilities.
Back when we had our first drinking contest, I didnāt quite understand how this world was like yet, but from my perspective, the Six Kings are almost omnipotent beings, and since Megiddo-san also has high magical prowess, I think nullifying drunkenness is something sheās capable ofā¦ā¦
[In that regard, they can adjust it as they like. Itās difficult to describe, but they can decide how drunk theyāll get before drinking and can instantly sober up if they want. Therefore, if two Demons who can negate status effects are having a drinking contest, itās customary to deactivate their status effect resistance beforehand. If someone is quite powerful, they can usually tell if their opponent has such status effect negation active.]
[I seeā¦ā¦ Hmmm. Errr, actually, I once accepted a drinking challenge from Megiddo-san and won, but at that time, I had Shiro-sanās blessing, which prevented me from getting too drunk. So, when Megiddo-san learned that, they seemed to accept their defeatā¦ā¦ but if thatās the case, isnāt what I did there considered cheating?]
[No, in my comradeās case, what you had was something different from status effect negation magic. Even if you were using such a magic, if it wasnāt detected before the contest, itās the fault of the other party for lacking the ability to detect that. Megiddo-sama would likely think the same. If my comrade has the blessing of the God of Creation Shallow Vernal, which negates drunkenness, and they hadnāt detected it beforehand, it would be considered their personal defeat.]
Now that she mentioned it, it makes sense, and Megiddo-san would probably think that way. From what Iāve seen so far, Megiddo-san doesnāt seem to care too much about the outcome, and she acknowledges that drinking contest as her loss. Sheās not the type to dwell on the past.
Iām not particularly worried about it myself; I was just curious, so Iām glad to have had that clarified by Frea-san.
[Somehow, I get the feeling that Frea-san would like something like sakeā¦ā¦ Ahh, speaking of which, does sake exist in this world?]
[I think Iāve heard about it before. Itās that alcohol made from rice, right? Rice itself is relatively rare, but Iāve heard that Neun from Kuromueina-samaās place and Blossom from Lillywood-samaās place enjoy it.]
[Well, if my comrade says it seems like something Iād like, then Iām interestedā¦ā¦ Iāll try it out someday.]
[Yes, if the opportunity arises, definitelyā¦ā¦ Ahā¦ā¦]
It seems that rice is quite rare in this world, so sake made from rice isnāt very well-known. However, it does exist as Iāve seen it a few timesā¦ā¦ In fact, I just remembered that I have some Japanese sake-like alcohol.
[ā¦ā¦Frea-san. I have some sake, or rather, some alcohol that was like sake hereā¦ā¦ Would you like to try it?]
I had completely forgotten, but I bought some sake for 3000R at Kaori-sanās store. I intended to drink it later, but I had completely forgotten about it after storing it in my magic box.
[That would be great butā¦ā¦ is that alright?]
[Yes. I mean, I had actually forgotten I had it too, so Iām glad this conversation reminded meā¦ā¦ Here it is. Please help yourself.]
[Thanksā¦ā¦ It has a refreshing and pleasant aroma. Well then, if youāll excuse meā¦ā¦ Hmm, I see, this is indeed excellent. Despite the aroma, itās almost devoid of sweetness and has a crisp, refreshing taste that is quite pleasant. As my comrade said, it perfectly matches my taste. Iām grateful to have found something so good, and I sincerely thank you, my comradeā¦ā¦]
[Ahaha, Iām glad you like it.]
[Yeah, but drinking alone feels a bit lonely. Since weāre at it, would you mind drinking with me?]
[Yes, Iāve been wanting to try that sake too, so letās drink together.]
I took out a glass for myself, and after lightly clinking my glass with Frea-san, we drank the sake. The alcohol content is quite high, but as Frea-san said, the aftertaste is crisp and very easy to drink.
Well, itās currently the middle of the day butā¦ā¦ sometimes, enjoying a drink at this time can be nice.
Serious-senpai: [Come to think of it, he did buy that sakeā¦ā¦ I completely forgot.]
