Chapter 118 A Party Began (2/2)
[You don’t have to be so stiff calling me that. We’re going to fight now, so you just skip with all that honorifics.]
[Errr, then, Megiddo-san……]
[Ohh!]
Hmmm. Lots of stuff happened, but he’s quite a straightforward and easy to understand person.
Sitting down facing each other with a cup in front of us, Megiddo let out a lively smile.
My cup is as large as those cups used in Japanese weddings, but Megiddo’s cup is as big as a mini car…… With that size, putting aside 10 times, it would be even more than that.
[The rules are simple. We take turns drinking, and whoever gets smashed first loses…… Alright, I’ll go first! Oi, start pouring!]
[Hahh!]

Following Megiddo-san’s words, his subordinate poured alcohol into his cup.
That cup that might be enough for a whole barrel…… And Megiddo-san drank that ridiculous amount of alcohol all at once.
[Gulp…… Pfhuaaa~~ I can’t get enough of this! Alright, it’s your turn!]
[Ah, yes.]
After Megiddo-san gulped his alcohol, I also drank mine…… wait, how strong is the alcohol they put in my cup!? The heck is this, it’s making my throat hurt!
It seems that the alcohol Megiddo-san has prepared for us is a very strong one, and I feel as if I’ve become a bit drunk after just one drink.
Isn’t the chance of me winning close to nil……
[Nice alcohol! Alright, let’s keep this going!]
[……Arehh? Speaking of which, Kaito-kun has Shiro’s blessing on him…… Arehh? Doesn’t this mean……]
And so, the drinking competition continued……

How many cups have we had now? I think this should be the seventh cup, right?
The first time I drank it, I thought it was strong that I’d quickly pass out, but strangely enough…… I still don’t feel like I’m going to pass out.
[Y- You…… are good…… This is supposed to be alcohol that could smash a dwarf with just one drink, but you still looked pretty composed……]
[N- No, it’s just that I’m not getting drunk for some strange reason……]
[Rather than that, I don’t think there’s any chance that Megiddo’s going to win this match, you know?]
[Ahh? What do you mean, Kuromueina?]
Compared to me, who was strangely unaffected by the alcohol, Megiddo-san has gotten drunk now, and seems to be having a hard time.
And for some reason, Kuro started saying that Megiddo doesn’t have a chance to win.
Naturally, Megiddo looked doubtful, but since I also don’t know why, I tilted my head.
[That’s because, Kaito-kun has Shiro’s blessing…… so he won’t get drunk.]

[……Eh?]
[Wha!? What~~!? T- Then, does that mean!> That he would still be composed no matter how much he drinks!?]
[Unnn.]
It seems that I, who have Shiro-san’s blessings, never get drunk, and no matter how strong the drink is, I won’t suddenly collapse from drunkenness.
That’s kinda on the level of cheating when used in drinking competitions……
Hearing Kuro’s words, Megiddo-san looked dumbfounded…… before slowly he fell on his back.
[……Ahh~~ Sheeettt, I lost huh~~ You’re amazing, Kaito, it’s been a long time since I lost.]
[Eh? No, ummm, how should I say this…… It’s not really because of me that I don’t get drunk…..]
[That doesn’t matter! Borrowed power or not, it’s your power, and I lost to you. That’s all there is to it! Hahaha, well~~ It’s impressive how you won’t get drunk!]
[Ah, errr, yes.]

Megiddo-san, who was lying down, admitted his defeat by praising me straight away.
I don’t know if he’s just clear-cut and straightforward, or just a frank and unwavering person…… But that’s probably why he had so many subordinates who adore his way of life……
Then, Megiddo-san laughed for a while with an amused look on his face, before he got up with a bang.
[Alright, let’s have a feast!]
[……Huh?]
[……Megiddo……]
[Oi oi, what’s with that unpleasant look on your face. We already fought it out, and settled it! Then, all that’s left to do now is to celebrate each other’s strenuous efforts and have a party!!!]
Megiddo-san suddenly talking about having a feast left me dumbfounded while Kuro had an amazed look on her face.
[Alright, you lot! Get ready for the feast! Don’t be stingy, and get us some of the best booze and food you can find! This is a party for the guy who beat me, and if we don’t have the best party, then it would be like tarnishing my name!]
[……Ummm, Kuro?]

[No, I know you’re confused, but he’s this kind of guy…… He only cares about fighting and having parties.]
[………………]
Leaving me, who hasn’t been able to keep up with the situation behind, Megiddo-san gives orders to his subordinates, one after another to start preparing for the banquet.
I don’t know if I should say he’s an overbearing person…… Or rather, this is Lilia-san’s garden though……
[Oi, the noble over there!]
[Y- Yes!?]
[I’ll be borrowing your garden!]
[Ah, y- y- yes!]
[Alright, go call everyone within your mansion! The more people there is in a party, the merrier!]
Ah, he properly asked for permission huh…… Well, it feels pretty late already for him to ask permission.

Dear Mom, Dad—— How should I say this… Megiddo-san is lively and frank, though he’s also as intense as blazing flames. And also, I don’t know how it happened—— but a party began.
Underworld King: “I hardly had any appearances lately, so even if Chronois-chan can already handle it on her own, I still came out!”
