The unexpectedly large number of people at the drinking party.
　The number of people Kato and his team had planned for was five.
　It could be considered a drinking party among friends.
　If you add our party to that, it's eleven.
　That's a small party level.
　But to add to that my fiancées Suela, Memoria, Himik, and Evvia, and Kaido's fiancée Amiri, Sheik, and Meik.
　Eighteen people at this stage.
　The number has already grown to a number that can be called an ordinary banquet.
　The party for Haruna and the other overseas testers is now a party.
　You'll find Benny, Bart, Zhu Ya, Haruna, and in addition Ishan.
　In addition to that, Instructor Fusio and Instructor Kio.
　A total of twenty-five people.
　There are enough people here to call it a big feast.
　And the crowd seems to match the huge feast.

Drink, drink, drink!　Look!
"Ugh, whoosh!
"Oh, oh.
"Kaka kaka kaka, that's why I say drink it without reservation.
"Well, uh, I'm afraid so.
"Thank you.
"Hm?　You both have empty glasses, do you want something to drink?
"Yes, yes!
"Thank you!
".........?　My advice, I'm an adult and drinking is not a problem.
"Oh, yes!
"It's okay!

　Tension was in the air in a strange direction, not waking up.
　Instructor Kio tangles with the larger Goto and Bart.
　But they're jumpy when they're entangled.
　Well, I know the feeling.
　I'm used to it. It doesn't bother me, but they're demons.
　In addition, instructor Kio, who is much stockier than the two of you, is pouring one drink after another in a completely athletic manner, so the two of you don't know what to do.
　But this is also the baptism of this company.
　Get used to it, and I'll piss my drink.
　For whatever reason, Instructor Fusio pours a glass of wine for Haruna and Ishan as he floats the bottle in the air and performs his magic.
　Evvia notices that Benny and Zhu Ya's glasses are empty and grabs a menu, but the always cheerful Benny and Zhu Ya stand tall and order their drinks.
　Sato and Ito, who have been nibbling on the small-looking Amiri-san's fruit wine, wondering if they are allowed to drink it, notice Amiri-san's gaze and react with trepidation.
　Even if you want to get excited, it's impossible to get excited.
　The banquet hall with such an atmosphere.
　It's what's called not being able to measure the distance.

Well, that's just how it usually goes, that it does.
That's right.

　And Endo, the only one not entangled by the instructors, is sitting next to Minami, who is drinking a cocktail as if it were a safe zone.
　I know from the story of the game that he is not a good match for the four instructors.
　This is why their ability to perceive danger is better than anyone else's, so they kept their place next to Minami.

"You seem to be unexpectedly careless. But you're the kind of person who is hesitant to take the first step.
"Oh, really?
Yes, I'm trying to measure the distance, but I'm still trying to measure the distance little by little. My peers are trying to get to know their bosses, you know?

　And Kitamiya doesn't blame Endo for his behavior, but cautions him.
　Hearing that, Endo makes an indescribable expression.
　I know without being told.
　That's why he doesn't want to be told.

"If you're late on the first step, it's surprisingly hard to catch up.

　Seeing the expression on his face, Kitamiya said nothing in particular and proceeded with the conversation without hesitation.
　Then, she finishes her different cocktail and orders the next drink as if it were flowing.
　From her point of view, the atmosphere here is already familiar.
　There's no reason to be as nervous as the newcomers.

"I'm fine with the way things are, if you like. But you have to remember. You're the lucky one. Now that Jiro's here, we have an assortment of people to choose from.

　That's why Kitamiya only told Endo the bare minimum so as not to ruin the atmosphere.
　Endo stagnates.

"Unusually, I'm meddling, that I am.
Well, I guess I'm drunk.

　It's a great way to piss down a drink.
　It's not just a matter of how much money you spend, but also how much time you spend on your own.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you can make of it.

　I got a taste for it.

Well, if you'll excuse me for telling my juniors that I'm not moving, I'll leave you alone. Minami, you should get out of your seat and mingle a little.
I'm in the midst of a rave review, that I don't have a problem with it, that I do, but I will at least show up at the instructor's place later, that I will.
Keep it that way.

　I don't want to be preachy and spoil the mood.
　After saying that, she takes her glass and leaves.

"Miss Kakoi, would you like to drink this one?


"Yes, I'm sorry to bother you, Miss Suela.
No, because in this situation, we can't move blindly.

　And Kitamiya takes the vacant seat of Suela.
　Memoria and Himikku are taking the empty seat when the instructors leave.

You've grown up, haven't you, belly?
Yes, we are almost there.
"You're finally a father, how are you feeling about that?
I don't know, I'm happy, but I just don't know how to be happy.

　Kitamiya looks at her swollen belly, as if concerned about Suela, who sits down to avoid moving due to her weight, and asks if she can touch her belly.
　Kitamiya asks if she can touch that kind of belly, Suela smiles and nods as she gently touches it.

"Oh, it moved.
Yeah, I've been responding to magic and stuff lately, you know?
Oh, you're a boy?　Is it a girl?
I haven't looked into it yet. It's about time I did, so I've asked my father to find a surgeon for me.

　In the tense banquet hall, the air is relaxed and relaxed.
　When asked by Kaido how he felt about becoming a parent, he replied that he couldn't say how he felt, because he didn't know how to digest this happiness.



　Just as I was gazing at the peace, a shout echoed through the banquet hall.
　I turned to see what was going on and saw Bart and Goto challenging Instructor Kio to an arm-wrestling match.

Reckless!
It's true.

　Seeing this scene, the first thing Kaido and I thought of was the word "reckless".
　The instructor is dealing with Goto and Bart with his right and left hands, respectively, but his expression is calm and composed.
　Red in the face, Goto tries to knock him down with his weight, and Bart clenches his teeth so tightly that it feels like his teeth are going to shatter as blood vessels rise to his head.
　Even though they are physically fit for the category of earthlings, they're not good enough.

How many seconds do you think you have?
"One beer in under ten seconds.
"Then have a beer in less than five seconds

　The opponent is a famous demon, even abroad.
　Even if they are well-trained.

There you go!
"Whoa!

　The baby's hand is knocked over like a twist.

You've got four seconds.
"d*mn, if I could have held on for two seconds, I would have won!
"Then go ahead and show me how you can hold up better than those guys, right?
"Whoa!　Hanhaidou, I'll show you!　And before that, Sheikh Miikh, please strengthen the magic!
Oh my God, a favor to the brave. Hey, Mikey.
Yes, Sikh, you have to be enthusiastic about this one.

　Then Kaido stood up to take out his junior enemy, but when he saw the demon smiling and beckoning to him, he immediately turned around and asked the twin angels for help.
　You will be able to see the results of your efforts with a wry smile on your face.

"It's a very instructor-like way to relax.
Yes, he can be kind in some ways.

　Demons love to drink.
　One of the reasons for this is that they simply love to drink, but another is that they like the noisy atmosphere of the banquet.
　They like to drink and laugh in order to get to know each other and make their tribe prosperous.
　It's simple is best, but it's not something to be taken lightly.
　The proof of this is that Kaido, who proudly challenged the enemy to defeat them, held on for exactly two seconds longer than Goto and the others, and maintained his dignity as a senior, before being defeated by his instructor.
　Goto and Bart are going to challenge for revenge.
　The newcomers around them are watching and laughing at the situation.
　Me and Suela, Memoria and Himikku smile at the instructor's behavior.
　The two instructors, Evvia and Amiri are at the top of the organization.
　They know how to close the distance between them and the newcomer.

And this levitation spell has a slightly different use. The idea of floating things is a natural idea, but that's not the only thing that comes to mind.
What do you mean?
"Other than things ......... can you possibly float magic too?
"Ho, that's quite a sight to behold

　You'll be able to give Haruna and Ishan a lecture on magic, and with a little trivia to get their attention, their tension is relaxed and they're getting the experience.

You will be able to find a lot of people who are not aware of the fact that they are in the same boat as you.　Every kind of magic has a meaning. Did you say Ishan, you need to soften up a bit?

　And because of the drinking, I can teach you casually like this.
　Haruna and Ishan nodded in agreement.
　And next to them.

"I see... I don't have any talent, but I want to go that way...
Is it still impossible?
".........
"No, I don't say it's impossible. I'm just saying it's hard and it takes time. After all, I've been one of those guys. But I still belong in my position.

　It's a good thing that you can't be a vanguard, because you can't be a vanguard.

But I can only say that I have been able to do this because I have a long life. Whether or not you fall by the wayside depends on your efforts and talent.
That's not like saying you can't do it!


Shua, calm down. You know the director is not wrong.

　But she does not only show sweet dreams.
　The fact that it is difficult to do is not going to change.
　It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends and family.

It's a good idea to have a good time.
Yes, I do.
You're not wrong, but I've been told I don't have one talent, so here's my advice.
What's your advice?
Giving up because someone tells you it's impossible is not much of a wish to begin with. And the ones who succeed are the ones who push forward even when they're told it's impossible.

　She thinks they are blue, but she doesn't mock them and pushes them back with words.

If you do your best, you might find that you have more than you need.

　The words are not mocking, but just a story of her experiences from the path she had taken.
　These are her words that she had been told it was impossible, and she arrived at her current situation.

Now is the time to drink. Drink it up and put it out in your gut.

　It was a pep talk in her own way.
　And Amiri Mazacraft, aka Kiki-Oh, who was sitting across from her, silently puffing on his fruit wine, said, "I can't.

I can't.
"Get out of there!
"Flame Samurai, this is the place to be, aerial vertical rotation on your knees!
"No!　There's a triple axel on my knees!
"I dare you to get down on your knees and slide!
I've never seen a party in which the leader gets down on his knees, even though he's drunk.
Me too.

　Kato's passionate kneeling down.
　As the creator of Kaido's suit, he was initially talking about it as a fan of sentai, but as the drink progressed, his desire for it seemed to overwhelm him.
　Normally, such an action would be a distraction, but Sato, Ito and Endo got on the bandwagon with Kato, who performed a wide variety of kowtowing (down on his knees) like a street performance, and Amiri-san also fell in line with them.
　Normally, it would be a way to show sincerity, but it is too acrobatic for you to watch.

At your service.
Impossible.
"Goodness!　By all means!
Impossible.
Once again, thank you!
I can't!

　Speaking of the earliest possible, do you think the next kneeling down will be a trick or something like that to be performed?
　Kato jumped up and down and settled on his knees.

"Hahahaha, by all means!

　She leapt to the very edge of the ceiling and performed three vertical spins on her knees and knees, and as Kato was getting close to her physical limit, Amiri said

"......... conditionally accepted

　Finally, we lost.

Really?
"Affirmation, but do not do without achieving the conditions

　Kato won in the name of conditions, even as she ruffled her tousled hair and sweat poured down her forehead.

'Is the noise always the same?
Yes.
It's nice to have a day like this once in a while.
"Mm!　Fun is good!

　We enjoyed a relatively quiet banquet while looking at such a banquet hall leisurely.


　Word of the Day
　A banquet is a surprisingly fun thing to do.
