50 This Hero and The Result Of His Irresponsible Drinking! (1/2)

”The bard class?” I asked Rena.

”Yep! The prerequisite to unlock it is to perform in front of people you don't know. Check mine out! Status.”

Suddenly, a green triangular prism appeared in front of Rena as she revealed her attributes to me.

Rena. Level 1.

Strength: 15

Dexterity: 19

Constitution: 17

Mana: 45

Magic Power: 10

Luck: 13

Experience: 0

Wow, she's level 1. She must have a level in bard. Wait, she has 0 experience…

”How are you level 1 but have no experience points?”

”I developed this level in bard naturally. I wanted to be an idol really badly so I guess my desires just took form.” She declared while holding up a double peace sign.

”Get off the stage you loser!” One of the patrons shouted as he threw a flagon at me.

I dodged the flagon as it splattered its remaining beer on the ground. I could see other people preparing to throw their things at me as well.

The constant boo's and the fact that the crowd had begun to throw things at me made me eventually leave the stage. I solemnly walked back to my seat at the table the rest of the party was waiting at. When I arrived, I could tell that nobody wanted to look at me. I just sat in my seat and silently drank my lukewarm beer for a little while.

”U-Um… That was very… interesting, Kenji-san. Was that the language you were telling us about earlier today?” Erana looked up and asked me shyly.

”Huh? O-Oh… Um, yes. That was Japanese. It also had a few words in this other language that has been… lost to time.” I said as I stared into my flagon of beer. I can't muster the courage to face Erana right now.

”W-Woah, wait what? A lost language? That's super cool! What's it called, Kenji?” Tael suddenly shot up and grabbed my arm.

I was shocked by Tael's sudden enthusiasm.

”English!” I shouted out. The shock from Tael grabbing me with my already shot nerves from performing in front of so many people made me nervously shout out. Fortunately, the rest of the bar was paying attention to Rena instead of me.

”English? What island is that from? England?” Tael asked in a joking manner.

”Y-Yes actually…” I was able to mutter. It's only now that I think about it that my explanation of the origins of my world's languages sounds like a lie.

”Hoho. Kenji… You wouldn't just be trying to cover up the gibberish that you were stating because you were scared of the stage, are you?”

”No! I promise! It's from England!” I grabbed Tael's arm and shook it. With my superior strength, I was able to shake Tael and his skinny body easily.

”W-Woah! Okay man! I get it, okay!”

I went back to my flagon of beer and discovered that it was empty. I've drank a total of 4 flagons of beer tonight. I must be absolutely plastered.

”I agree with Kenji-san. I'm not a fan of alcohol and we have work to do soon. A good night's rest results in a good start tomorrow!

”Ugh, fine. Waiter! We need our bill!”

”Got it. Wizard guy you owe 10 juns. Same with the tan girl. Little lady owes 20 juns. Big guy owes 25 juns.”

We forked over the cash (Erana paid for the unconscious Kany) and we began to head upstairs. I offered to carry Kany to her room, but Erana said that she could handle it herself so we split off from there.

I hopped onto the bed and spread myself out as much as possible. I pulled my pillow and placed it in front of my face.

”AAAAAAGGGHHHH!” I shouted into the pillow. Thankfully, my voice was heavily muffled so it was barely audible.

”Yeah bud. You definitely screwed up tonight!”

”Please don't remind me, Tael…” I said while clutching my head.

”Look man, you screwed up and it happened. That's how it is. You can't turn back time. What you CAN do is deal with what you've done and accept your reality.”

”Yeah but like, that was awful!”
