187 [3-44] Wine is the best medicine to drink. (1/2)

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for and how you can use it.

I want to be cautious just in case until we neutralize the ”divine realm” where the fathers of the elves sleep, and in any case, we need to suppress the Lugarut Kingdom.

However, it would be difficult to cross the vast forest from here to the frontline zone in the north, so we were shifting our forces to the forest side.

In one of the rooms of the rock castle with the red rose flag fluttering in the air, there is a bar with a mature atmosphere that does not resemble the rude and eerie fort.

The softly textured, deep-sea colored wallpaper is lazily illuminated by low-powered magic lights.

Behind the single-wood counter, which was made by cutting down trees in the vicinity without permission, there were bottles of liquid liquor of unknown origin.

Naturally, this was not a place where ordinary soldiers could casually enter and leave, and only a small number of senior officers had access to this place.

Furthermore, the ogres are physically unable to enter this place, and the lizardmen prefer to gather only with their own kind. Most of the elves are not ready to come to this place.

So the only ones who come here are Everith and Tracy, and lately Everith has been bringing in beautiful boys as assistants and experimenters to teach them to drink (bad things).

In the corner of the counter, a black cat was curled up asleep.

Tracy, who was occasionally stroking her and drinking a strong drink on the rocks, looked toward the entrance when someone unexpectedly entered the room.

”Oh my.

There was a woman in a pale, colorful ...... but damaged and decayed martial arts outfit that looked like a fairy costume.

Her lustrous blue-black hair was pulled up in a bun on either side of her head.

In the event that you have any kind of questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

A female grappler who once belonged to the adventurer's party ”Spear of Zero”.

She died after being defeated by Udanosuke, and was transformed into a Kyonshi by Rene and Everith.

”That's unusual, Chainshi. I didn't expect to see you here.

Tracy.

Well, have a drink. I thought you said you liked rice wine.　You said you liked rice wine, right? It was rare to find it in Ciel-Teira, but now that you're here, it seems like you can get any you want.

Tracy took a cup from behind the counter, poured some sake into it and offered it to him.

Chauncey took it, scratched up the hem of the bill on her face, and sipped the drink.

”How do you like it?

...... doesn't get me drunk.

”Well, I guess you're right. I can't help it.

You can't help it. I've been trained since I was a kid to deal with poisoning. I don't get drunk on ordinary alcohol.

Yeah. But good food is good food.

They both laugh a little.

As if nothing had happened.

As if they had just run into each other in a bar in the old days of Teila-Ruare.

But of course, Tracy knows that everything has changed.

Is this the first time we've talked since I've been here?

”...... Yeah.

Chancey and Tracy.

They were both top class adventurers in the kingdom of Ciel-Teirah, and as a result of that connection, they knew each other.

You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them.

And he's a servant of the same lord.

It's a strange story.

During the long march, Tracy had been scouting the surrounding areas, including the human settlements, and had been too busy before and after the march to do so, so this was the first time she had talked to the undead Chen Shi, even though she was aware of his existence.

But even if her existence was fundamentally twisted, she seemed surprisingly unaltered.

”What's going on?

Tracy asked, timing the question just when he wanted her to.

Chauncey, who didn't usually come to places like this, showed up. Tracy guessed that he was in some kind of trouble or trouble with something.

I fought a guy I knew back in the ...... Caenis Empire. A month ago, during that battle.

He said he wanted to protect me.

She then took some time to tell me her story in small chunks.

How, during her training in the empire, she had fled the temple because she was being mistreated by her sister's apprentice.

She had left her home as a way of cutting back, and with nowhere else to go, she had drifted away to a land of deep snow.

She was generally happy and thought her life as an adventurer, blessed with friends, was an unexpected blessing.

I had been thinking about my former brother and sister, whom I could not even say goodbye to. ......

He was seriously wounded in the battle a month ago, but he was still alive. ...... I'm sure he'll come out again as the war against the West intensifies. So I was curious. ......

Oh, it was so much simpler when I was alive. My world.

There were quests to do, enemies to defeat, and punching to do.

Chaenxi shook his head in a weary tone.

Is it hard now?

I'm happy. Very happy. I'm happy to be in the service of the princess. ......

I'm so happy that I don't care about my old friends or my old acquaintances. I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've.

I'm not sure what to do about it. ...... I'm aware that I'm saying things that don't make sense, you know?　But, you know, I'm so happy that it doesn't even matter.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.
