Drinking Bout

A pot-au-feu-like soup with many garnishes, a salad, bread, and fruits in heaps were carried before Allen and Elena .

For Lionel-sama and Tristan-sama, it was the Flamesaurus steak with steaks of other kinds of meat, stir-fried vegetables, and pickle-like things .

“”Will dig in~””

“Yes, go ahead . ”

Allen and Elena promptly sought permission from Grace-sama and started eating .

“Ohh, this is delicious!”

Before I noticed, Lionel-sama as already tasting the Nippy Liquor and was pouring himself another helping .

Although his glass was smaller than usual, he drank it in one gulp from a glass that was bigger than the normal sake cup . It seems that he liked the taste of the sake, and was also a considerably heavy drinker .

“Let me see, how does the Flamesaurus meat taste~——n . This is also quite something . Alfried, it’s tasty . ”

“… I am glad to hear that . However, hogging it all to yourself is not good . ”

“N?”

“The children had been curious about the Flamesaurus meat’s taste all this time . Despite that, you eat it all by yourself~ See, please take a look . They are watching you the whole time, Granduncle . ”

As Al-sama said, Allen and Elena were jii~… staring at Lionel-sama who was eating the Flamesaurus steak .

“… Allen, Elena, we still have plenty of Flamesaurus meat . I will cook it for you today, so don’t stare so much . ”

“”Au~””

“Nono, this was my fault . Here, lad, missy, let’s eat together . ”

“”Is fine?””

“It’s fine, it’s fine . ”

“Sorry about this, Lionel-sama . ”

“What are you saying, this meat and alcohol was a present from you guys, so I should be taking part in looking after you, don’t worry about it . ”

“”Delish~””

“I see, it’s delicious?”

When Allen and Elena sweetly smiled after tasting the Flamesaurus meat Lionel-sama handed them, he also smiled widely at them .

“Oh, this is certainly tasty . ”

“Indeed . The aftertaste is refreshing, isn’t it?”

Tristan-sama and Austin-sama tasted the Nippy Liquor too, and they seemed to be pleased with its taste .

“Well~ Tasting new kind of alcohol again is a happy occasion . ”

“N? Tristan… did you say ‘again’ just now? Do you mean that a new alcoholic drink beside this Nippy Liquor has been discovered?”

“Ah!”

Interjected by Lionel-sama, Tristan-sama made a “Oh, darn” expression .

Did he perhaps mean the brandy? Did Tristan-sama keep the brandy secret from Lionel-sama?

“Err… that’s…”

Although Tristan-sama was a country’s king, he wasn’t a match for his uncle as his eyes were totally swimming the other way when doubted .

“Oh my, I have not heard about that either . ”

Whoaa~ it appears he kept it secret from Grace-sama too .

Grace-sama directed a sharp gaze towards Tristan-sama and his face has visibly turned pale .

“That’s, umm… Takumi . ”

“Takumi, you say?”

“Takumi-san?”

“……”

With Tristan-sama’s words, Lionel-sama and Grace-sama directed their gazes onto me .

… Tristan-sama, you have definitely turned the tip of the spear towards me, did you not?

“I certainly discovered a drink called Brandy in the ‘Dungeon of Ripples’ however, I gifted it to Tristan-sama at my first audience with him~”

“Hooh~”

“Oh my~”

“!”

Hearing my words, the gazes of Lionel-sama and Grace-sama returned on Tristan-sama .

“I, I just forgot to tell you! Actually, Conrad knows of this alcoholic drink too!”

… Conrad? Ahh, the Prime Minister? Well, he was there when I presented the brandy, so he is indeed aware~

“Then, where do you keep that drink? You won’t say that it’s in your office, will you?”

“……”

Looking at Tristan-sama’s reaction, it seems to be a bullseye . A dreadful smile floated on Grace-sama’s face . What an incredible impact even though she’s smiling .

Still… not in the alcohol storeroom or kitchen, but in his office?

“Al-sama . ”

“What is it, Takumi?”

“Does Tristan-sama have a restriction on alcohol by any chance?”

“No, he usually does not have a restriction like that . It’s normal for him to drink fruit wine or mead at dinner… ahh, but, when he shows obvious exhaustion while not finished with his official duties, Mother forbids him from drinking . ”

By any chance… did he hide it in his office to drink in secret? But, I gifted him quite a number of bottles, though? To hide all of that, it’s actually amazing~

“Takumi-dono, do you still possess the drink called brandy?”

“I do . ——Ahh, right . Since Tristan-sama hid it, Austin-sama and others must have not drunk it yet, right?”

I asked for new glasses, took out the brandy from my Infinite Storage and poured it into the glasses for Lionel-sama, Austin-sama, and Al-sama .

Grace-sama was lecturing Tristan-sama, so I quietly pushed the glass towards her .

“It’s a strong kind of alcoholic drink, so please don’t drink it in one gulp . ”

“Hooh~ so this is the brandy, huh . ”

“It smells nice . ”

“That’s certainly true . The color is also of a lovely amber . ”

The three who received the glasses confirmed the appearances and fragrance and tasted the brandy .

“Ohh! It certainly is a strong drink, but this is also tasty!”

“It’s a little bit too harsh for me . ”

“In that case, ice…——no, let’s dilute it with water . ”

The drink was apparently too strong for Austin-sama, I added cold water to his glass .

“Yeah, it became easier to drink . ”

Thus, Lionel-sama and Al-sama followed and added water .

“Hooh~ it became easy to drink like this!——Takumi, you said you also got this alcohol from a dungeon? On what floor did you get it? Ah, if you are hiding it, then you don’t have to say . ”

“It’s fine . I got this from the twentieth floor . ”

“””!?”””

I don’t intend to keep the brandy spot secret . Far from that, I already talked about it with the Risner Household .

Therefore, when I told the three on what floor I found it, their breath was visibly taken away .

“T, twentieth floor, you say!? Takumi, the Dungeon of Ripples has thirty floors in total, right? Does that mean that you captured it!?”

Al-sama was thoroughly excited .

“… Calm down, Alfried . Takumi-dono has the strength to walk through an intermediate dungeon with ease, so it’s not strange for him to capture it . ”

“I know that very well from going to the dungeon together with him! However, Elder brother! The timing is weird! The dungeon was discovered just a while ago! And yet, he already captured it, what’s up with that!”

“That’s………… because it’s Takumi-dono, so it can’t be helped . ”

“………… Ahh, that’s true . ”

… That was cold of you, Austin-sama . Also, don’t agree with him so readily, Al-sama .
