Okay fine, there is alcohol not suitable for demons. Guess we all learned something.

[sivtest]

Yes, we did! I was the only one who saw, too. I just wanted you to know the odd little side effect you'd had once you were overcome.

[heavensmostwanted]

Please tell me I didn't do anything else like hitting on a mop or something.

[sivtest]

Not at all! You were quite happy with the shoe. And you were talking about all the "trippy places" you had walked with it. I was quite captivated.

[In other words, she was also sometimes laughing her ass off inside, so as to not be impolite.]

Once you could walk steadily, I escorted you home.

[heavensmostwanted]

...Well at least it was just in front of you.

[Just had to make sure this didn't reach Dante.]

But that was it huh? No demon summoning or anything?

[Lord knows what would happen if he summoned Cerberus while drunk. Probably would eat all the toilet paper. Or burn it. Or both.]

[sivtest]

No summoning occurred, no. You were incredibly captivated by your shoe. There was no room in your dear head for anything else at the time. :)

[But here, have a picture she took. It is definitely him petting his shoe like it's some sort of pet.]

[heavensmostwanted]

[Oh goddamn it.]

Oh goddamn it...okay from now on, whatever that booze is called, keep it away from me, please.

[sivtest]

Absolutely. I forget its native term, but the bartender said its name was loosely translated to "demons' bane". And I remember that it was otherwise a very ordinary-looking drink.

So I believe that if you had summoned any of your allies to join you, they would have been similarly "wrecked".

We are so never taking them drinking, save for home. I'm not rich enough to repair bars.

[Frigging Kuzunoha bars.]

I'm guessing you were alright then? I mean you at least have a clearer memory than me.

[sivtest]

I stuck to very mild drinks like champagne! I've had a lot of experiences drinking politely but timely at formal events, so I paced myself well enough that my inebriation was very mild by the time we left together.

[Even from minor nobility, she has some wealth that she could use to repair a bar, but she'd rather not...]

So I was relatively sober for the entire time.

[heavensmostwanted]

Sure you won't get in trouble for coming with me? I know how well I stand out, but you kinda have a status and everything, don't ya?

[sivtest]

I have very strong associations with milord Berkut, true, but so long as I continue to disguise myself, bringing shame to him and his family should be unlikely.

Besides, I am very minor nobility besides. Do you not think sometimes even we decide to see new things?

[heavensmostwanted]

Well a good chunk of nobles have kinda been jerks. I had to be around Chiaki all the time so they didn't kick me out of places, so it's hard not to be worried.

[And he didn't always trust Berkut.]

[sivtest]

I understand. A lot of the nobility is... out of touch with people unlike themselves. That is something that needs to change.

[Not trusting Berkut is a valid feeling. But Rinea is quite sure that one day, Berkut may show some of the warmth to others that he does to her! But she's seen the way he looks at people in general; it's a much colder, burdened Berkut.]

If you are in a bind, you may rely on me.
