Chapter 50 – Episode 47 – Welcome Party!
After hearing my suggestion, Lisbeth began to dress quietly. Looking at her expression, she seems to be thinking about something complicated.
However, after she got dressed and dried her hair, by the time she arrived at the restaurant, she was back with a smile on her face. She thought she would ponder all day, but it seems she made up her mind sooner than expected.
“Come to think of it, did you hear that Ars is going to have a welcome party for me today?”
“Yes? I was wondering if she should do something, but it worked out.”
“They said they would do it in my room in the evening.”
After the party, she talked about what she was going to eat, and after a lunch of something like a sandwich, she decided to look around where she sold adventure gear until Ars came.
If I stop by Rihanna’s shop tomorrow and get some clothes, I’ll be ready to live in another world.
I don’t know when the one who invites destruction will be discovered again, but considering that Erebos was a bit close to a failure, I should prepare thoroughly. She needs to level up as well as pack her equipment.
That’s how she and Lisbeth go around blacksmith-like shops that sell armor and weapons, but I don’t know how good or bad they are. I’ve never had a relationship with weapons or armor like this in my entire life, so how can I tell them apart?
“Sema, since you’re tall, it’s going to be hard to find something that fits your body, whether it’s armor or weapons… Wouldn’t it be better to find a place that can custom-make it for you?”
“Should I have custom-made weapons and armor… I thought I could afford it with the settlement money and Hero Eater search fees, but that’s not it either.”
Should I have put up with the camera? The remaining money is now a little over 7 gold coins… Looking at the moderately decent weapons and armor starting with gold coins, I feel like I won’t be able to afford this.
“Doesn’t it matter? The Hero Eater subjugation was, in the end, Sema, right? Originally, all guilds that participated in the subjugation except for us were given a reward, but since you got it, I think there will be a reward? Also, the commission I entrusted to Mr. Paul hasn’t been paid yet.”
Oh Come to think of it, that Hero Eater. Did I catch it in the end? I also ate experience points. Considering Sera’s story that she would be summoned to the castle for a reward, it seems certain that something will fall. In addition, the commission entrusted by Paul? I had forgotten about this, but it feels like I’m suddenly rich.
Reminding me of the reward I forgot about somehow made my heart feel at ease. Now that my mind is relaxed, the impatience that I thought, “I should get it quickly, even if it’s cheap,” Disappeared, and I walked around with the thought, “Let’s just look around slowly.”
************************************************** ************************************************** *******
Looking around, it was already sunset time.
As a result of looking around, in the case of armor, there is nothing that fits my body at all, so I have to choose one place and custom-made it.
Somehow, rather than looking at weapons, it feels like she went out on a date with Lisbeth… But since there are still more than 10 years left before destruction, you can take some time off for a few days.
On the way home, I decided to stop by the restaurant to buy some food for the party and pick up some drinks at the liquor store.
“Come to think of it, I’m curious. Doesn’t the name Essentia refer to this country? What does that mean?”
“This world. To be precise, it is the name of the planet we live on.”
Somehow I thought it would be, but was Essentia the name of another world?
“There are many things Sema still doesn’t know. When should I take you to the library and read some books?”
“Uh, come to think of it, now that I have hands, I can go to the library, right? Scent. It’s nice to have real hands. Take me sometime.”
While talking like that, I bought a lot of food and alcohol and returned to the dorm. I wonder if it’s a little too much for 3 people to eat, but I don’t think it matters since I’ve never felt full after becoming half-human and half-beast. Let’s check this one more time.
Neither I nor Lisbeth knew much about alcohol, so I just picked out a few unusual ones and filled them with about 10 bottles. Isn’t she too much Lisbeth? Even the money was calculated only with my own money.
I came to my room with dishes and drinks and got ready… When Lisbeth saw that there was still a used condom in the trash, her face turned red and she slapped me on the back and threw it away. Sorry. I forgot that too…
After this, she brought a table and some cups of appropriate size from Lisbeth’s room, and while she was setting, Als came up with an envelope with dishes in her hand. This is going to be a lot of food today.
Ars and I sat facing each other at the table that had been set. Lisbeth went inside and she sat down facing the middle, with bottles of wine placed between Al and Lisbeth, making it look like she was sitting next to me. When were the bottles put there?
Ars doesn’t seem to care at all… But somehow I feel good that Lisbeth has become my woman.
That’s how the three of us got together and started a party to welcome me into the dorm after gaining humanization skills.
************************************************** ************************************************** *******
“You’re going to make your own guild?”
We started with a simple beer, toasted, and then chatted and told what I thought of today.
“Uh. I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but I think it’ll be more fun that way.”
The two of them are looking at me with worried eyes. No, it’s not until you look at me like that…
“Are you okay? Are we struggling too? I still often talk about why I should have just worked in another guild for a year or two and created a guild.”
“I still have a hard time calculating taxes… I really wouldn’t have been able to do anything without the help of the guild management office clerk. I didn’t know in the past, but I can understand why people who only do office work among the guild leaders of large guilds do this. Guild leaders who also do quests themselves are thought to be superhuman.”
Calculating taxes is a pain in the ass. Before we fell out with each other, my parents told me that this was also an experience and that I should try a few things, and I felt it while doing it from time to time.
However, if the guild starts with one or two members, I think I can do it enough because I have experience on the Earth side. If the number of people increases, why not hire an employee or pay a consulting fee to the tax office and get help?
“It’s not that I don’t have any worries at all, but I don’t have big goals like making the guild big, but I want to live my own life. I’m a Shinsoo, why would I starve? If you have to, you can quit and try another guild.”
When I said that, the two of them laughed and nodded.
“Well… I guess Sema is almost the only one who is an adventurer, right?”
“From what I heard at magic school, there are less than 10 divine beasts in the world right now. Also, considering that Sema fought, I think it will be okay because he has the ability.”
Wow, less than 10 people? It was a very rare mob.
“But it’s not right now… I’ll hang out with Als and Liz for a while, and then I’ll try to make it when I feel like it.”
First of all, I have to make Lisbeth my female and take her to the guild.
“Um… Then wouldn’t it be better to just join our guild? Considering the sharing of experience points, I think it would be better to sign up for a while.”
“No, I still don’t know when the right time will be, and although it’s useless stubbornness, I want to start with the guild I created. I’ll sign up then if I need it.”
Actually, after I decided to create a guild, it’s just that I didn’t want to join a guild made by someone else.
Ars smiled and said yes, then toasted again, congratulating me on the establishment of my guild. It must be a little painful for you to celebrate, Als…
After toasting like that, we ran out of beer, so we decided to try the unusual drinks we picked up from the liquor store today.
“Where is this… ‘White Glen’? I bought it at a liquor store, so I didn’t see it at the concession stand.”
Saying that, Lisbeth opened the cork and sniffed the scent. Looking at Lisbeth’s frown for a moment, it must have been a bit strong.
“Ugh, it looks very strong… Ars doesn’t drink too hard, so don’t drink too much.”
Saying that, Lisbeth refilled Als’ cup with me, and filled her own cup as well. Aside from Ars, seeing that he only filled himself up a little, it seems he didn’t like it very much.
“Where… Hmm… This sure looks strong.”
I sneakily sniffed the scent, and it smelled like strong whiskey…
“Then where should we just taste it?”
After the three of them toasted each other, they took a sip… Ars flinched and couldn’t finish a single sip before getting off, and Lisbeth took a sip and took a snack with a frown on her face.
After seeing the two of them drinking, I took a sip too… Hey, this definitely tastes like whiskey. The fragrance is strong, and the alcohol content seems to be quite high… Oh, it tastes like a good whiskey with a slightly savory fragrance spreading at the end.
I didn’t choose a very expensive drink, but this much… It’s okay, but this. However, it seems that the two of them, who are only around 20 years old, will be stimulated a little.
“It’s a bit strong, but considering the price, it’s okay. This?”
“Sema is very drunk… I can’t do this at all.”
“I don’t really want to find a drink either… This is the next one after Sema drinks it!”
Saying that, Lisbeth opened each bottle of her liquor and she tasted it.
There were some pretty good drinks, some that just reminded me of soju, and there were many, but the two of them didn’t seem to like anything very much.
“Ugh, I think beer is the best… This green bottle… ‘Lyla Desire’? Where are you…”
Lisbeth and Ars reacted differently this time. When I smelled the fragrance while looking at the faint vermilion color, it was not the scent of alcohol, but rather a sweet scent that felt like a flower scent.
“Wow… Does this smell good?”
“I know. It doesn’t even smell like alcohol. I think this is enough for me to drink.”
Everyone toasted and drank like that… I took a sip and felt it. This is the so-called work week.
The sweet taste and nice scent are just fakes to hide the alcohol. This guy is a pretty strong drink.
I wondered if I should tell them, and I looked at the two… They seemed to like this drink very much.
“Wow, is this delicious? There is no alcohol flavor and you can feel the sweetness like fruit…”
“Really. I think this is enough for Ars to drink, and I like how sweet it is.”
…Als said he was weak in alcohol, right?
Perhaps it was thanks to the fact that she had tasted the alcohol little by little until just now, Al’s face was already quite red, and Lisbeth was in a state where she was slightly drunk.
I put in my impressions of the drink, told them to drink it only for the two of them, and told Lisbeth to hand the first drink I liked the most to Lisbeth.
“Wow, what do you like about that strong drink… Come on.”
Lisbeth didn’t hand her the bottle, but she herself stood next to me and filled the glass I was holding, then she filled Als and Layla Desire into her empty glass.
“Still, I got a bottle. I need to memorize your name. Toast!”
“”Toast!””
And after a while, Ars completely collapsed and fell backwards.
