Lanther, it is rare to drink alcohol.

At midnight, I couldn't fall asleep because of my worries, so I came to the bar on the train alone and ordered a strong cocktail that I wouldn't usually choose.

“…!”

A slightly fierce way of drinking can spread out the accumulated things on weekdays.

As the leader of the [Iron Griffin], he has a physique that is beyond ordinary people, so he has drunk more than sixteen cocktails in a row, but he is not intoxicated at all. He is just a red face, and he has not even had a trance in his spirit.

"continue."

Put the seventeenth empty cup on the bar, and signaled to come again with a look.

"Guest, this is the seventeenth cup?"

The night shift waiter who kindly spoke to remind him, he felt it was necessary to explain it to the young guest.

"You drink a cocktail [Sellena's Ice Cypress]. The main ingredient is to hunt the beads on the head of the [Selleen Ankang Fish] with a level of lv39. That ingredient is-"

"——Ahhh, that kind of guy asked me to kill ten and twenty."

The waiter's warning introduction was interrupted in a willful tone, but he was telling the truth.

Then at this time, Lanther's communicator received a session request from another train.

(Yi Chen?)

After seeing the name above clearly, Lanther hesitated for a while, and chose to connect.

"It's so late, didn't disturb you to sleep?"

His happy tone came from the other end of the communicator.

"No, I'm at the train bar...is there anything wrong?"

"Woo~ That's a coincidence. I'm also drinking... Of course I won't call you if it's okay."

It looks like playing with a gem, gently shaking the wine glass in your hand, allowing the light to enter from every angle and then be reflected, and repeatedly enjoying such a scene.

Yi Chen, who pressed his chin against his arm on the bar, looked at his wine glass and said to the other end of the communicator:

"I won't say much nonsense - I know about you and Karachi from Leti, so let's talk about it now?"

“…”

As expected, Lanther was silent.

"Let me guess, now it's just because of the problem I'm talking about?"

"...I just want to try whether alcohol can really drown your sorrows as rumored."

"What's the result?"

“It’s totally useless.”

"That's because your physique is too strong and you can't get drunk!"

Yi Chen laughed.

"Let's talk about the main topic- the reason for the quarrel is because I ran away that night, because I was hostage to Bai Chuan."

"……Yes."

"Baichuan hopes you come to save me, but your own will is more inclined to save Baichuan."

Yi Chen said in an explanatory tone, "Although the development of things unexpectedly catered to your and Baichuan's expectations, it was precisely because both of you had the opposite expectations of each other that you felt betrayed by each other. Baichuan... I know her personality, so I guessed what she said."

“…this matter…”

After a brief silence, Lanther's breathing sound came from the other end of the communicator, and he asked:

"You think... am I wrong?"

"You are not wrong."

“…!”

"Nothing wrong at all."

Use supplementary statements to amplify affirmation.

"For example, this is the problem of fish and bear paw. No matter which side is a very important existence, you must not give up. I already know the reason why you broke up with Baichuan at that time, so I can understand your desire to make up for it this time... So, you don't have to force yourself too much because of this? The leader of the Kaishi Group."

“…but is it really okay?”

"What?"

"I... chose to give up on you."

"Ah, you said this? It's okay, I won't care."

"but……"

"There is nothing, but [giving up] is different from [betrayal], and your [giving up] is because [want to save]. So I understand. Although I heard that I felt a little uncomfortable at first, now it's completely fine."

“…”

"Oh... If you really feel sorry for it, I'll just treat me to a big meal and make up for it next time. What?"

"……Um."

Yi Chen's words were answered.

Moreover, from the tone, Lanther's mood was much better.

"Next time... Let's go to the restaurant for a meal together. You can order any kind of food. I'll treat you, no problem."

"So that's the decision?"

"--as well as……"

"Um?"

Lanther's voice paused and hesitated again. After he thought carefully, he said:

"Baichuan... Although I have little to do with her now,... I may sound a little arrogant, but I still want to tell you-I will completely entrust her to you. I hope you don't let her experience the things that disappointed her in the past."

"Of course - you and Leti want to be the same."

"Um……"

The call ends, above.

At this time, the 18th cup ordered by Lanther [Serlina's Bingchun] had been placed on the table by the waiter.

He stared at the glass of wine for a while.

"Or... forget it."

“…Ha??”

"I've drunk enough tonight. I'm going to bed and check out!"

As he said that, he slapped the cash on the bar with a slightest sound. When he was drinking, he had already calculated one cup by adding one, so he gave no more than one cent of cash.

Then, when leaving the bar, while savoring what Yi Chen said—
Chapter completed!
