I won't let you sleep tonight, that I won't!
"Let the minors go home with a straight face.

Garden bar on the wooden deck.
In spite of having spent so much time frolicking in the daytime, South is still in good spirits.
She is still high on energy with a glass of ginger ale in her hand.
Even though she is non-alcoholic, she is more excited than us alcoholics, which is honestly amazing.
Is that a result of the magic mark?

Are you guys always like this?
It's rather routine.
As far as I can tell, it's always lively and fun.

The fact that Kitamiya naturally blends in with the alcoholic group doesn't put us in doubt.

"Oh, by the way, why don't you do your usual one-liners, Kaido?
"Huh?　What are you talking about, senior?
"What are you doing, Kaido-kun?
"I'm curious, what do the people over here do?

Naturally, there will be a recklessness or two at the drinking table.
Naturally, Kaido and I know that we've never done such a thing, but the other members, who have no way of knowing what to expect, are unaware of the recklessness of the situation.
It's not only this table, but also the other employees around the table are relying on their vaunted hearing to get a whiff of what's going to happen.

"You're scheming, aren't you, sir!
I don't know.
Jiro-san, your mouth is smiling, isn't it?
"Oops.

The alcohol seems to have loosened his facial muscles.
Meanwhile, your gaze is growing in anticipation of Kaido.

'So?　What are you doing for me?
"Oh, hey, what's a girl to expect?
I'll get it!　Otokaido-chu, we're going to Otaru Ikki!


It's outrageous to make a woman's expectations frustrated. In desperation, Kaido asks the devil waiter to order a barrel of sake.

Witness!　If you succeed in one fell swoop, I'll buy you a drink!

At the declaration of standing on the table, the bar is at once filled with excitement and there are cheers everywhere.
Magic-enhanced arms hold up a full barrel of liquor like lifting a baby, and Kaido's recklessness begins as the call is heard from the surroundings.
Fortunately, the table top is mostly empty, and we're dressed in our swimsuits and hoodies.
There's a shower nearby, so it's safe to spill your drink.
Even if we were to reverse, I'm physically capable of avoiding it, even when I'm drunk.

Oh, here we go.
"You are a bad person,
"Really?
Yes, it's obvious by looking at what you're holding in your right hand?
"Got it, you want to eat?
"Yes, thank you.

Still, I'll take precautions.

"Chit-chat!　In one breath, that is!
"See!　Get fired up!
"Show your sister how cool you are!

Something about three people were blending in and making a lot of noise, but I had stepped away from them with a mug and a plate of snacks.
Suela noticed this and came over to the side.
I offer her a plate with cheese on it, and that number diminishes.

Can you drink that much alcohol by magic?
"There are techniques to enhance the body's absorption as a kind of enhancement, although it is theoretically possible to develop techniques to enhance combustion in the body in combination with the technique.
What?
If you ask me if I can do it with alcohol in my system, it would be difficult, even for me.
Then you're right to leave.

It's not manga or anime.
There's no way that much would fit in Kaido's body, no matter how hard we try.

Mugu!
""What?"
"Goblophos!
""Geez!

In the not-too-distant future, a screaming wreck will be born.
Perhaps a burp or something has stopped you from drinking.
The calm before the storm, the big eruption after it stopped.
All that was left was the carbon dioxide gas in your stomach, which exploded like Mentos Cola.
Screaming like a woman in the face of catastrophe, some are backing away as fast as they can, some are defending something hefty with magical barriers, and some are shielding the onlookers next to them.
The difference between each member avoiding something that has blown up at their own discretion and furthermore laughing from afar at the sight is interesting to watch.



Well, that's what happens.
If you knew, you could have stopped it.
I didn't want to ruin the mood.
You're lying. You're laughing again, aren't you?
"Hahahaha, what about you, Suela?
Well, I'm not sure. I just wanted to be there for Jiro-san.
"Wow, that's slick.

As a man, I can't say more about her adorable behavior.
The rest of the day was spent gazing at the center of the whirlpool of laughter after the devastation, and who could say what action was taken.

What are you doing?
"Uvara!"?

Kitamiya's all-out straightforwardness is quite something.

Haha, bothering the store.
I thought it would be okay, because this level of dirt will be cleaned up in a second.
"It's convenient.
"Oh, Sheng and Memoria, you guys are okay.
I kind of knew what to expect.

I wonder if Katsu's ability to sense danger was honed in the south, anticipating the consequences and securing food and drink.

"I never thought you would let me use atomization.
Are you involved?

But this vampire girl was so curious that she was watching in the neighborhood.
Who could have guessed that she would have to demonstrate her vampire secret skills in this tavern tragedy.
Didn't this guy think that giants and demons could handle it, but didn't he think that humans were impossible?

I said I'd show you.
"Yeah, he's a flirt and a spur-of-the-moment kind of guy.
I'll put up a protective barrier next time.
You see that?
"Because humans are not interested in
"You've been called an oddball, haven't you?
I've been told . Why is that?

It's a good idea to be aware of the rude words you're saying, although it may be due to the influence of alcohol.
It's not just a good idea to have a good time, but it's also a good idea to have a good time.

"You know why that face is asking me, don't you?
"I read in a Japanese book that this is how human men are attracted to it.

Quite simply, it was a mockery.

It was deliberate. What's the reference, by the way?
It's a hundred techniques to lose the opposite s*x (facial expressions).

I don't know where to go with it.
Should I go at the publisher who made it, or at this guy who lives in a fantasy world of buying it, or at me for trying to practice it and making me the target?
Well, either way, all I can say is.

"How do you feel?
I thought you'd know better than me being beaten.
"Then think of a few more options.
"Then I'll think of another way.

The only way to do that is to question the outcome.

I wouldn't want you to do that, if you could.

Ooh, my right arm felt a touch of happiness.

"I'll give up the first seat, so if you give me the second one, I'm fine with that.
That being said, I can't help but think about it.

Yes, let's wait a minute, fantasy people.
This is Japan, so why does the story proceed by fantasy standards without regard to the person's wishes?
Suela glances at me and I'm sure she'll let me in on the conversation.

"Ah, as a man, I'm happy for you, but unfortunately, I don't have the resources to provide for two people.
Isn't it commonplace in Japan for people to work together?　And don't worry. I have enough savings to support my own children.
"Oh, you're right, d*mn it!　Oddly enough, you know a lot about Japanese affairs!　But a man's pride is torn to shreds, though!

I guess I shouldn't have answered to both the Japanese who can't say no and the Japanese who are indecisive, but he proposed to me in a roundabout way.

...... Why me?

I'm sorry to say this, but although her face is above average, she's not well-groomed enough to be a model, nor is she particularly good-looking or rich.
In terms of the Demon King's Army, his strength is also at the bottom of the pile.
Objectively speaking, it's strange that you can create an atmosphere where you can marry two beautiful women, even if it's indirectly like this.
You'll be able to gulp down the liquor in the other hand and listen to the reason.
From my point of view, I don't remember doing anything in particular. I've got a sense that he was a good friend of the clerk.

"?　You approached me, and I only responded.
"What?　What ouch!　Suela, there is now testimonial evidence that you have done the worst thing for a man!　A chance to explain myself!
What the hell are you doing?
"Oh?　The mood of the shambles, that is.
"You look like you're having fun, Suela - what are you doing?



The devastation of a man who has been seized at the scene of an affair has taken a turn for the worse.
Then, at an inopportune moment, the rest of the team, with the exception of Kaido, arrives.

I demand an explanation.
"No, no idea Guka!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry?
What did you really do, do you think you'd have an affair too?
"Wow, a leader.
"Leader
"Jiro-kun?　Let's at least explain it to Suela before we decide on the second wife.

Now I feel like my stock price is hopelessly low!
Also, Kaylee, because there is something different about what you're saying!
The feeling of happiness made my right arm tighten and creak, and now I have the strength to bear it.
So I can dredge up memories to explain myself while enduring the pain like this, but I can't remember anything.
The approach?
Approach, approach, ah!

"......!"?
"You do remember, don't you?
"First?　But that was just something I did in a casual way!
Is that so?

When I remembered the incident, I thought I had broken my arm, but miraculously, I was fine.
He seemed to listen to me.
You're lucky that the judge didn't take no for an answer, but if you're found guilty, that's just too funny.

"Ha-ha-ha, that's it, isn't it?　When you weren't ready for the store, and I helped you get it out. That was when you were just starting out.
That's it.

As I recall, from an objective or even memorial perspective it does not look like a man was clumsily trying to approach a woman.
After that, all the loot from the dungeon was redeemed at the memoria.
Since there was no convenient exchange called the Adventurer's Guild, he ended up selling them at the tool shop's memoria, but it could be seen as a man who continued to approach her.
I remember chatting with him and asking him about the memoria while I was doing the assessment.

Isn't that what happened?
"Yes.
"Oh, it's
What can I say?
"Mistake? Wouldn't that be enough?
"Oh, it's about that guy!

When I tell them the story of the approach, all the members except Suella and Memoria are confused between convinced and doubtful.
Kaylee, the only person in charge of human resources, had a hint of what was going on.
The stock price was prevented from falling, but the pride of the older man is still hurt.

So, what are you going to do, Jiro-san?
What about ...... no, Suela?

What to do or not to do in the normal course of things, are you being asked to cheat or not?
Then the answer is no. I'm still in love with Suela, I'm not going to cheat on her.
I still love Suela, and I'm not going to cheat on her.
Don't you understand that?
No. Suela was cool with it.
Did I cheat?　I feel differently because of the way I acted before we started dating, but I feel like I've cooled down since I knew I didn't want to.

As for me, I don't mind if you take me seriously.
What?
"I'm a legitimate wife, that I am!
"Wow, it's amazing how much you can admit to being a two-timer.
"Hey, Minami, don't press your ears all of a sudden, it hurts. And I can't hear you.

I calmly knocked the bomb off.
Instead, I started to get confused, but she didn't seem to stop.

"If you refuse her feelings because of me here, then I would be twisting your feelings. That would be disgusting to me.
"Oh, sweet, that
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. Give me a beer, I can't do this without it.
"I'll have an iced coffee
You've grown up.

Regardless of the outside world, the story goes on.

"And I'm sure she's thought about it seriously, and I don't think you would neglect me. So please, will you take her thoughts seriously?

It is common knowledge among the residents of Isual that this kind of thing is not a problem for them as long as they approve of each other.
If so, she must have meant what she said.
It is possible that she is being tested, but

"......

There would be no chance of that.
I looked straight into Suela's eyes, and I meant it.

""......"
Move yourselves!
"'Tutti'

Unwanted outsiders have also gathered, so I'm going to use the monkey shout to disperse them.
If possible, party members should also refrain from

"Exciting, that is!　What?


Hey, he's having dinner over there.
Mar-saroooooooooo.
"Oh, yes, yes, I'm having a drink over there, too.
Oh, I'm coming with you. Suella, good luck!

Our guys are dependable.
I walk away and it's just me, Suela, and Memoria.
In the corner of the tavern, by the window, a spot with a great view of the sea.
There, Memoria is waiting patiently for my answer.

"Oh, I have a girlfriend, huh?
"I know.
"I'm not exactly a career guy, you know?
"No problem.
I don't have any desire to be in a harem.
"Get used to it.
"I don't think we should be treated equally.
I'll come to you when I'm lonely.
Human being?
"Since I seem to be an oddball,
"...... first, I'll be the one to die.
"Then leave me a sign that you were there.
You look like a man.
"That's the first time I've been told that.

All the answers are better than Jesus.
I'll talk myself into it.

All right, now I'm going to tell you the worst thing
"Yes.
"I like Suela,
"Yes.
I thought you were just a friendly clerk.
"Yes.
"I honestly don't know how to treat you.
"Yes.
"So,
"Yes.
I'm going to love you.
"Yes.

I'm a two-timer.

Huh, is that all right?
If it weren't for that last sigh, it would have been a perfect score.
Don't be absurd.

I don't have a thick enough giraffe to perform a two-timing with her behind me.
I'm not sure if it's the right choice for me to be in a battle with her or not, but at worst, I'm still wondering if it's the right choice.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Suela.
No, I had a hunch.
"I'm going to have an affair?

I thought it was awful, and in fact it's like cheating on you in the present day.
All I can do is laugh and say that I can't deny it.
Chuckling bitterly, you pick up the sake on the table and take a sip.

No, Jiro-san doesn't cheat on his wife.

But Suela denies it softly.

Based on what?
It's a secret.
What's that?
Women have secrets, it's common knowledge between them and us.
"Really, Memoria?
Yes.

I don't know what's going on, but it seems that Suela and Memoria already have something in common.
They're laughing in front of me.

"I didn't think I'd ever see this kind of popularity period coming.

One is a dark elf and the other a vampire, different types, but both are definitely beautiful.
It's a unique combination that doesn't exist in real life.

Are you happy?
"That's a nasty question, Suela, normally I can't deny it, I can't affirm it, but yeah, I'm glad I'm doing it now.
Then I guess it was worth it for me to say hello.
"I wish the timing could have been different.
"I'm sorry. But I don't regret it.
Please do so.
Yes, but I'll reflect on it a little later.
"Huh?　What?
"Hmm, that's a kiss, not bad.
You.
"That's good. I'm not just one step behind Suela, I'm several steps behind her. Next time I'll take into account the atmosphere.

My first kiss with a vampire did not taste like blood, but was a cold but passionate kiss.
It only lasted a few seconds of contact, and the act of entwining our mouths and licking it off gave me a fever that was different from the intoxication of alcohol.

Jiro.
"Yes, yes,


"Ah.

And even I, as expected, can understand the rest.
Isn't the reason why the harem protagonists of the world are so insensitive is to reduce these kinds of worries?
Well, I'm sure the men of the world will complain about the perks of the job, and I'm happy with my choice, so I'll answer.

But this is for now.
"Yes.

There's no more room for aggressiveness.

"What are you doing?
"Oh, Kaido, were you there?
"You're alive?　Not!　What, are you doing a romantic comedy by yourself?　I'm a booze-soaked wreck, and I need more girlfriends while I'm taking a shower!　Mogeloss!"?

And it seems that the romantic comedy development is over now.

Is it over, that it is?
Haha, I don't know why I'm in this place on a day I might have been dumped, it's a bad day.
"Ha-ha, congratulations Jiro, you're a great member of the Demon King's Army now.
"Kaido-senpai, would you like to eat?

Maybe they were on standby, maybe they were sensing the mood, or maybe they were called out by Kaido's shout, but the original members were all there.

It's time to burn out!　No one can stop me from doing this anymore!
"Here comes the demon of food fight. Hmmm, it's not a very good title, that it is.
That's why you're not popular.
You just said what you shouldn't have said!　You don't know how I feel, do you?
Okay, I'll buy the fight. Are you ready to be frozen?
Keep it in moderation.
"Don't you dare say that, senpai (you)!

The original binge is also resumed, and it is a noisy day after all.

Boom.

"Huh?　Kuroout?
"...... this
"Suela?
No way, we are in a dungeon, no power outage.

It was going to be a day.
The lights went out and the whole area went dark.
We testers thought it was a power outage, but the members of the Demon Lord's Army reacted differently.
There was a tense atmosphere in the murmur.
An unpleasant smell wafted into the air.
The bad feeling I had when I worked for a black company and my ability to perceive danger since I became a tester are ringing alarm bells.

"Huh, I need a day off.

His tone is relaxed, but my face tightens and becomes drunk all at once.

Word of the Day
It is the desire of working people to be able to enjoy a full day off.
There's nothing worse than being called out on a holiday.
