63-63 Banquet




'Huh? There's a swordsman stronger than you, Luke? What is that? ...... It's not fair!

Liz slammed her finished mug on the table, a swarthy glint in her eyes.
Citrie chuckled and traced a finger down the middle of her left arm.

In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at ....... --

This conversation is as crazy as ever.

A lot of the time, you'll find a lot of people who are looking for a way to get rid of the problem.

For this reason, hunters who always risk their lives on the front lines are respected.

Even if Luke is a man who has burned his soul in the way of the sword and is called one of the best swordsmen in the Imperial City, he still has a bad chance against the uncommon monsters that inhabit the high-level treasure halls.

This is especially true for the Strange Glyphs, which are always challenging the treasure halls at the very edge of their limits.
This time, the Castle of the Demons is also a level 8 treasure hall. The Ghost of Sorrows is not yet at the appropriate level for this challenge.

At first, I was terrified by my friend's explosive performance, but now I believe in his abilities, and I try not to interfere unless there is a serious problem.
I'm the leader of the party, after all. Luke and the others may be unprincipled, but they listen to what I have to say. That's why, as an outsider, I have to keep my comments to a minimum.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, but it's not always possible.


On the table, the dishes that Tino had ordered were placed on a large platter.
There was a huge pile of fried chicken and fries. Crispy meat on the bone and fish and chips. Platters of pasta with meat sauce.
Enough to last me a week if it were just me. I think I'm gonna be full just looking at it.

It's covered in potatoes. And there's no salad. Not enough vegetables. .......

When Citrie empties her mug in one gulp, she lets out a small, somewhat s*xy exhale. But there is no hint of drunkenness in her eyes.
The golden ale may be called an ale, but it has a strength of over 30. Even a hunter can get drunk on it. What is going on inside the body of a hunter?
Tino, who quietly sips from his mug, is drinking the same amount.

Liz grabs a piece of grilled meat from an unknown bone and bites into it with gusto.
With a knife and fork, Sitri cuts into the steak with a somewhat graceful motion. If the steak hadn't been a chunk rather than a steak, he might have called it a noble gesture.

He is a glutton beyond words such as "gormandizer". I wonder where all that food is going.
When I was looking at her tanned belly, which showed no sign of swelling no matter how much she ate, she noticed it and wrapped her arms around me and leaned in close. She smiles like a big flower and says.

'Hmm? What's wrong, Crye? It looks like you haven't eaten.

It's not that I haven't eaten. It's that Liz and the others are eating too much.
They're too big. One fried chicken and I'm full. I'll eat slowly.

Citri smiled at my small appetite.

'You need to eat to gain strength. Even my brother's Healing Technique is not effective on people who don't eat properly.

'Ah, that makes me really hungry when I grow hands and feet. ....... If you don't eat, Krai-chan, you'll be in danger when the time comes. I'll feed it to you. Yes, ahhh.

I don't want that kind of emergency to ever come. .......

Liz licked her lips and held out a potato in front of me.
I'm not sure if I'm embarrassed to be doing that in public, but that's no excuse for the steel-hearted Liz.
I wonder if it's a kindness left in her that she's offering me French fries, which I can easily eat, instead of the ridiculously large fried chicken pieces.

'Sis, you're going too fast. Even if you're a hunter, there's a limit to how fast you can go--you'll get drunk. What if you collapse again like the other day?

'I'm perfectly fine. Golden ale is just like water! Here, Cry-chan. Come on, Cry.

Without listening to Citrine's advice, Ryz's cheeks flushed and he made a sweet sound.

Her breasts are pressed tightly against her arms. You can't help but accept it when someone does this to you.
I had no choice but to open my mouth, and suddenly I noticed Tino next to me looking into my eyes.

But his eyes were not on me. Neither did Liz, who was leaning back with a handful of potatoes.

'Come on, come on, Cry-chan. Aaan!

'Ah, yes.

I followed his gaze as I accepted the potatoes he offered me. What Tino was looking at was Citri.
You can see him smiling over Liz's shoulder as he stirs the golden ale with a muddler.

...... Hmm? It's not a cocktail,......, but it's a golden ale.

In the event that you have any questions regarding where and the best way to get the best results, you can contact us at the web site.
At that time, Sitri was already without a muddler.

When he returned to his position, Cicely chided him.

'd*mn it! Sis, you're bothering Mr. Cry again. ......'

'I'm not bothering him at all. Hey, Crye?

I can't shake my head when I'm asked that question with a smile.

'Cry, you're so sweet to your sister. .......' I'll stop you if you get too drunk.

'I won't go under. Sito, what have you been looking at me for? I'm already past alcohol...'

As if to show off, Liz slurps down the mug in front of her. You can hear Tino's small voice over the din.
The golden liquid that had been poured into the mug disappeared. He slammed the empty mug down on the table with gusto,

'Oh, by the way, Sito. You're Akasha's--?

Just as he was about to say this, Liz's body swayed for a moment. His eyes blurred, and his stance nearly collapsed, but he grabbed the table just in time and held on.


The empty platters in the stack made a high-pitched crunching sound. His breathing had become ragged. His eyes wandered as if he was upset.

'Look, sis. I told you so. ......'

Sitri lowered his eyes in disgust and chuckled. Lizzie shook her head and looked up at Citrie.
It's a sharp stare, as if he's glaring at you.

'Shh,............, you've heaped it on, haven't you?

'No,......, don't blame me! Hey, Tee-chan?'

'Wow, I didn't see ...... anything. I'm not seeing anything.'

Tino secured his mug in a hug, tears in his eyes, and shook his head.

The number of mugs Liz has already filled is seven.
Perhaps it was because he hadn't been to a bar in a long time, but he thought he was going at a pretty fast pace. Liz is a human being, and if she drinks that much, she's bound to get a little drunk.

Sitri is certainly called the worst, but she's not so bad that she'd give her sister anything. No motive.

I quieted Liz, who looked like she was about to jump on me.

'Oh, come on, Lizzie. Sitri didn't do anything. He just had a little too much to drink.'

'What? Crye, are you serious? You're not going to stand up for me?

Ryz is unusually shocked.

Even if you say so,......, you'll start a fight if you don't.
I feel sorry for Citly, he's been accused of something.

'I'm serious. I'm serious. It's not like I'm on your side or anything. I sipped on it, do you want some tea?'

'I'll have some .............'

I took the mug of tea that Liz offered me with both hands and drank it with gusto.

It's okay to drink, but you should think about your pace a little bit.

If a high-level lycee gets drunk and goes on a rampage, there's not much you can do to stop her, even in a hunter's tavern. If you're bad, you'll be banned. And a criminal record. That's not good.

At that moment, Citri placed two mugs of golden ale in front of Liz's eyes, who had finally calmed down.
The clear golden liquid glistened in the mugs. It seems that more has arrived.

The plates and glasses are being emptied and the next ones are being brought in. It was because Liz had been ordering ten servings at any one time without hesitation. It was her own fault.

'Sis, look, the one you ordered just now is here. Do you want to compare drinks for the first time in a while? I'll bet you the cost of the drinks for all of us today--'

'Huh? You're trying to make something up again, aren't you? Don't get carried away! It's not like I've forgiven you, even if Cry-chan has!

Liz said, sounding like a drunken thug.

But it's not just Liz who's still arguing about whether she's drunk or not, it's also Sitri who asks the drunk Liz for a drinking contest.
Moreover, he's trying to bet on the price of the drinks without permission. I'll at least pay for the drinks...

I reached into my pocket to secretly check my wallet and realized that I had left it in my room.

'............'

Liz grabbed Cicely by the collar and suspended her in midair, wobbling. His eyes were completely fixed.
But even after all that, Cicely still kept smiling.

I'm not going to let you get away with it. You blatantly stacked our countermeasures!

'Kry-san, please help me. My sister is making accusations without any evidence. ......'

'I'm telling you, it was only hard, but it was a small fish! It's just durability! I'm not sure what to make of that.

'...... It's just that my brain was garbage. If I use it, my sister will be browned in a second. I was a top-notch technician, but a third-rate warrior. ......'

'You heard that! Krai-chan, you heard me! It's all Sito's fault! Of course Akasha was a victim of Shito's!

It's rare for me to get this drunk after only seven ...... drinks.

I'm not sure what to do. I took him in and patted him on the head.

But Akasha's tower was a victim of Citri? That's absurd.

'You're assuming too much. Citri caught all the people I missed. It's thanks to Citri that the case was solved.''

'Cry-chan! You know everything, don't you? Why are you acting like a fool?

No, I'm not. .......
It's not that I'm taking sides because I'm Cicely, it's just that Cicely has the upper hand because Liz's words are almost an accusation.
Well, I don't think Liz is really saying it's Citly's fault either.

Sitri's eyebrows were lowered, and he was looking at me with a somewhat ecstatic expression. It's true that I love Liz, but I'm not going to let my likes and dislikes cloud my judgment.
After all, I'm still level 8. Equality is one of the few virtues I have.

Sitri pushed one of the mugs in front of Liz.

'...... sister. Come on, let's compare drinks. Don't worry, if you get drunk, I'll lay you down and take care of you. If you're not feeling well, you can run away with your tail between your legs, but you'll get in trouble with ...... Cry-san, so if you're feeling that bad, you might as well lie down. Hey, Tee-chan. You'll take care of my sister, right?



'I'm not seeing anything. I didn't hear anything. ......'

Tino was completely useless in the fight between the sisters.
He is caught between his master and his natural enemy. It seems that today is a bad day for Tino.

Liz's eyes glittered at the blatant provocation. He stood up unsteadily and slapped his cheeks hard with both hands, as if to remind himself.

Grasping the mug in front of him, Liz yells at him.

'Huh? You're a good man, Shito!

'............ That's my sister. I didn't poison her, but ...... she's about to go under, but she's got great spirit. Please go easy on me. ......'

Sitri smiles once and takes the huge mug in front of him as well.
It was just a drinking contest, but there was an air of a duel in the air. Tino is looking at Liz with a worried gaze.

But, Liz, do you still think that Sitri poisoned you?

That's when I came up with a nice idea. I'm not proud of it, but I'm a little confident when it comes to picking fights.
I snapped my fingers and said to the two guys who were about to start a drinking contest.

'Before you start the drinking contest, you should change the mugs. I'm sure you don't like being accused of something strange, but I'm sure it'll make Liz feel better.

'............What?'

It's the only way no one will be unhappy. Sitri knows all about Liz's character, and he's not so narrow-minded as to be offended by it.
He was confident in his idea, but for some reason, the expression on his face froze.

As Citry froze, Liz took the mug from his hand and pushed the one she had been holding.
He emptied the mug in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and smiled triumphantly.

'Pfft. Oh, yeah! Did you think that Cry-chan would take your side? Of course not! You should have stopped now, but that's what you get for trying to pull some crazy stunt! If it's a new drug that I'm resistant to, then Sito won't be safe! I've had it. You drink it too! Come on, come on, come on!

Citrine's eyes are black and white as Liz presses her. His hand gently reached for the potion bag on his waist, but stopped when Liz stared at him.

He sipped the cold tea that had just been brought to him and looked around the tavern.
Every table was as lively as this one. A party of heroes. I feel as if I've become a part of it.

Feeling sentimental, I turned my attention back to Liz and saw that she and Cicely were still arguing.
There are many differences in their eyes, height, and breast size, but when you look at them side by side, you can clearly see that they are sisters.

'You guys are really close, aren't you? Oh, I'll have some ice cream. ...... Do you want some too Tino?'

'Sure ........................... ...I'll have some.'

Tino shrinks back as if he is trying to get away from the two of them.
