"......."

A lingering silence enveloped the table.

I had turned all four of the meat on a plate, but I didn't seem to have any intention of eating it.

Eifale, in particular, was shaking his head and covering his reddened face with dry hands.

I cleaned up.

"So let's all forgive me for hitting one of the Epayle plaques hard and paying the price of the meal today."

Soon the answer came in.

"Yes."

"Okay."

Efeil then shook his head.

"That's it, is that it?"

Then Hestio bluntly replied.

"Why? Is penance too easy?"

"Uh, honestly, huh."

"What, Inma?"

I felt an effort to regain the mood from my usual tightness.

Tesilide also struggled to help.

"That's right. Ipale is an Auror user, so Hestio's bare fist might be tickled."

"Wow, I heard and saw it. Eyelet, you beat me up to my share."

"I will."

Starting with me, Thesilide and Hestio also began to eat.

In a relaxed atmosphere, Efeil laughed in vain.

"Thank you for accepting the Sacrament of Confession, yes."

"Star."

That's when Ipale picked up a large bottle from the corner of the table and pulled out a stopper.

Tesilide's thinning eyes touched him.

"Oh, didn't you say you were drunk?"

Ipale spoke eloquently, and then he tilted the bottle of liquor one after the other to my empty cup and Hestio's cup.

"Follow along a little. Just a little."

Seeing this, Tessilid opened his mouth sternly.

"The paladin is a virtue of sobriety other than the wine that is paid by the denomination..."

"Child."

Ipale skipped the glass of Tessilides' milk and slammed the snout of the bottle into my glass.

"Ailet, I believe you're an adult."

"Of course."

Three glasses of liquor and one glass of milk struck lightly for a toast.

And the moment the edge of the glass touched the mouth.

"Well."

"Hmm."

Ipale and Hestio's Meagan narrowed.

"I can't use this."

"I just gave up my taste buds. Put it away."

Tessilid pulled up the tail of his mouth as he drank the honey milk.

I hadn't put alcohol in my mouth, either. I used the 'food liver' of my cooking skills to know that the quality of the alcohol was low.

Still, I pulled the bottle of liquor in front of me.

"Ailet, let me drink it all?"

"Are you surprisingly cheap palate?"
