I was really worried about you!
Sorry.

I was brought back to the infirmary, and now I'm being lectured by Suela.
I never thought I'd be sitting on my bed at my age.

I just heard from Master Evvia that you were preyed upon by the Evoluiter and I've come here to see you: ......

He must have rushed in on his way to work.
You were dressed in a standard office lady's suit and pumps, but you seemed to be moving so fast that you could see the afterimage when you entered the doctor's office.
If I'm not mistaken, you had some scorch marks on the floor.
And the reason why I'm starting to preach like this is because it ends with one word: my fault.
After all, his status was elevated.
I asked the staff stationed in the infirmary to see how much I could lift by lifting weights, and I got carried away with the super weight lifting, which was funny.
I had just lifted three tons of weight when Suela came in.
She was probably expecting to see me in a wreck.
With tears in my eyes.

"What are you doing?

I thought the expression on Suela's face was inappropriately cute.
The actual injuries were healed in a few minutes.
It's a good thing that we have magic and medicine to spare, and as long as the injuries aren't too severe, we can recover like in a game.
You're going to be able to find out what kind of reaction you'll get from your boss, who deliberately left out a lot of information that was provided to Suela, if you tell him that you had a fierce battle with him after he was healed, but let's avoid any actions that add fuel to the fire.

Haha, I'm so glad to hear that everything is okay. But in Jiro's case, falling to pieces is becoming a standard practice.
"Not everything is falling apart from me, but I can't deny it.
Then you need to be a little more careful. Even though it's my job, please put yourself in our place of concern.
Sorry.

Now I apologize to her for caring about me like this.
Even if it's a wound that came from being involved, she threw away her job to come and care for me.
I'm grateful.
I'll have to come in to see you later at Memoria's.
Now, it's time to ignore it.

"Hey!　Enough with the marital fights!

We turn to face the grinning Suera, who has been lecturing me with a smirk on her face.
The scales had been tipped in favor of worrying about me until a moment ago, so Suela has been lecturing me, but she's calmed down for now.
So, let's face it, you can't ignore it.

You can't just stand there and tell me not to worry about it, demon king.
"Forgive me, forgive me!

Suela's expression is not good as she looks at Instructor Kio laughing cheerfully.
You're respectful, but you're not hiding your distrust because of the context.
You're going to be able to find out if it's a good idea to accept that emotion or if you can blame them for being open-minded.

...... So, what can I do for you?

Suela seems to have dared to suppress her emotions.
Part of the way down, I'll ask for my boss's business.

"Oh! I'm here to invite Jiro to a post-war banquet because it's never going to happen!

The instructor's business was exactly what I expected.

Oh, you're right.

And so it was with Suela.
An instructor's visit is not necessarily equal, but when it comes to non-combat business, it's mostly an invitation for a drink.
And in this case, it's after the big job.
You will be able to find a lot more information on the following pages.
You can also have a look at the following information

"Haha, please do it in moderation.
That's not a guarantee!

But I guess they quickly decided that there was no point in saying anything.
With a single sigh, he gave up the spot.
That was the moment when my participation in the demon banquet was decided.
There was no need to resist.
I experienced a strain on my neck that gave me a sense of déjà vu, and the scenery switched again at high speed as Suela saw me off with an indescribable smile.
But this time, thanks to the enhanced status, we were able to see several expressions that captured the fast-moving figure of Instructor Kio.
All of them went back to work with a look of, "Ah, not again," which has become a tradition.
And we arrived at the company's auditorium.

Ahhh~
"Oh, well, don't get excited without me!

You can see through the door you've arrived at that there's a lot of commotion going on.
Is it because of the hustle and bustle or is it because it's a party for demons, or is there a sound of blows mixed in with the occasional noise?
The demons inside are definitely drunk.
What should I do in the air to make sure of that?
Should I laugh or open up?
Or should I run away on what little chance there is?

Are you excited?　You guys!


Will you at least let me prepare myself!

I guess I was following my desire for a drink.
After dropping me off, the instructor opened the door with a loud bang and announced his or her arrival in a loud voice that seemed to echo throughout the room.
The demons, as if they were accustomed to it, answered with a bottle of sake and a shout.
Although I thought I knew about parties, cherry blossom viewing and drinking places from my knowledge of taverns, the scene of the demon's party spread out before me did not correspond to any of them.
If I had to choose, I'd say it was more like cherry blossom viewing.
With a bottle of liquor in one hand, each of them places their favorite food on the ground in a random manner, going here and there to drink, going here and there to drink.
They are laughing, punching, drinking, singing and dancing as they please.
Instead of a drinking party to curry favor with your boss, which is only an array of letters, here embodied a temporary dream where you can make noise without reservation, regardless of status differences.
It's not a party for your bosses, but a party for your bosses where you can make a lot of noise without hesitation, regardless of your status.

"General!　Slow!
"You're getting started!
"Oh, my God, that's the guy who fought with the general?
"Come here!　Come drink with me!
"Well fought in the little nari!
"Don't tell me you're a goblin!
"Dude!

Doesn't race matter in the fence, if you fought with it, it's your mate.
Even if we become enemies tomorrow, it doesn't matter here, and with a big wave of your hand, invitations to drink pour in from all over the place.
At best, you're big, at worst, you have no idea.
Although I had such an impression, the atmosphere of the place still felt comfortable, and my face naturally relaxed.
The first impression I got was that I didn't need to think too much, so I naturally relaxed.

"Totally out of character,

Maybe I'm missing the point, but that's the only word that comes to mind.
If I were to apply my common sense, I would say that I was not able to relax at the first drinking place like this.
On the contrary, there are more cases where you feel intimidated and can't get drunk at all.
And yet.
You can't help but feel happy here.

Orajiro!　Hurry up and have a drink!
It's too big.

The instructor held out a huge sake cup like a sumo wrestler would drink at New Year's. I accepted it with a smile.
The instructor took it with a bitter smile, but he also poured the sake into the cup to fill it up as well.
It's not the amount you should drink first, but you can drink it all in one sitting.

「「「「「「「 wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ！！！！！

The demons cheered as I drank, perhaps because I had a good attitude.

Oshi!　You guys!　Let's drink!
「「「「 「「「「 and ！！！！」」」」

The place was already warming up, but the air was getting hotter with the instructor's words.
Maybe it's because I've been drinking since noon, but my body gets a little hotter.

Oh, human!　Come over here and drink!
"No, come on, let's compare strength with me!
"But first you have to drink with me!
"General, that's not fair!

Stepping into the banquet, savoring the experience of being welcomed by demons.

I'll take it all!

From there, we lost track of time.
We drank and ate and drank.
When the quarrelsome demon got involved

"Happy birthday, I'm here!

Ask the demon beside you for a sign, and you'll get a power contest and a joke with no strings attached.

'Olaaaaaaah!

From a grappling stance, he took his opponent's back when he stumbled and scored with a German suplex.
In a drunken stupor, he mixed sumo and wrestling, but he did not regret it.
Even though I knocked him off his head, the crowd cheered and cheered from all over the hall, and even the man who was knocked off was laughing and drinking his drink, saying he had lost.
Well, I was drinking and feeling good about myself, and the fact that I had won made me feel even better.

"Come on!

I have provoked other demons to do the same. ......
A simple ring was created, throwing off one challenger after another.
I drank every time.
Well, I didn't win all the fights, but I enjoyed it, either as a spectator or as a challenger.
The simple ring had been transformed into a winner-take-all arena.

Whew!

It's now a pause to watch it too.
It's a drinking party with no formality, just a lot of noise.
As a person who experienced such a place for the first time, I didn't know how much to take in, and I was a bit tired of being excited.

You look like you're having fun.
"Instructor.

As I moved to the outfield, the instructor who was having a drink with another demon sat cross-legged next to me with a thud.

Here.
"Thank you.

Normally, you would have to drink before your boss, but I guess that's not the point here.
After pouring the wine for me, the instructor sips on the bottle and starts drinking.
After drinking together like this, I've gotten used to this style and I'm not afraid of its appearance.

......
"......



But the instructor, who would normally be quick to start talking, got off to an unusually quiet start.
We don't look at each other and watch in silence as the skegob, who always buys his coffee in front of the vending machine, throws away an ogre more than three times his height.
I'm drinking my own cup of sake leisurely.

"Jiro.
"Yes?

Such a noisy and quiet time around me didn't last as long as I expected.
But at the quiet start, the instructor spoke to me.

"Do you want us to do it?
I won't do it.

But it wasn't that the instructor was auspicious.
He was just itching to have a power contest with me.
I was quick to answer, but I guess I wasn't wrong.
Hearing my answer, you gave me a confused look and asked if I was going to do it, but I wouldn't.
You've lost your drunkenness for a moment.
I'm still not strong enough to compare strength with you, so if we clash, I'm sure we'll lose.
At least.

When you feel like you can win, you do it.
"Ha!　Then get the hell out of here and get strong.
I'll do my best.
"All right, then I'll wait for you.

It was a promise I made to the demon.
I made a promise I made when I fought the warden and learned that there was someone above me and that I still had to be strong.
I'll probably never forget it.
The wall we have to aim for is high, and we still need more time and effort to get there.
There may be more experiences like this one in the future.
There may come a day when you will regret this promise.
But it's a promise you'll never forget.

Onii keep their word, and I'll never forget it.
Yes, I'll make sure to protect you while you're alive.

This demon shows his fun as a child, along with a taste of the wine he offers.

Then how about experiencing the depths of another dungeon?
"I need to take it easy for a while, so please don't.
