Chapter 132: Girls’ Get-Together
[space_man][space_man]After Eld was taken away by Al, Layla remained in the room, and the three of them had a drinking party.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”That way of taking him out, it’s just like Al, isn’t it?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Mary said while gulping down the alcohol that had been poured to the brim in one go.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”That might be true. He’s been here ever since graduating from the academy, so he was worried about not knowing how to invite people.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Layla poured alcohol into Mary’s empty glass and her own.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Moira-san, would you like some more?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Ehehe~. Prince Alderic has a cute side too~.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Moira finished the alcohol in her hand. Her face was red, and her eyes were drooping, making it difficult to tell if they were open or not.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”More please~.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”I wonder if she’s alright……”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Layla poured alcohol into Moira’s glass, feeling bewildered.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”It’s alright, Layla. Moira’s been like this for a long time.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Sigh…… If Mary-senpai says so, then I guess it’s fine.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Layla glanced at Moira. Honestly, it felt like a minor was drinking, and it pained her heart. Moira, unconcerned, finished her drink.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Haa~, more~.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]She held her glass out to Layla. Layla hesitated and couldn’t move. Seeing that, Mary took the alcohol bottle from Layla and poured it into Moira’s and her own glass.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Thank you, Mary~. This alcohol is delicious~.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Layla sighed as if giving up and opened the box she had brought. Then, she took out snacks from inside.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”I heard it’s better to eat something while drinking so you don’t get too drunk. I had the Head Chef make a lot.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Mary and Moira each took one and ate it.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Salty~. I prefer sweet snacks…… Ah, but it goes well with alcohol, so this is fine~.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Moira took another one and ate it.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”The Head Chef’s cooking really is delicious. Considering there’s no magic power in this, I still have a lot to learn from that person.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Mary said while chewing.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Mary, you’re still aiming to become better at cooking? It’s already delicious enough.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”If I don’t use magic power, it’s just average. But the Head Chef’s is different, so I think I’ll ask for some lessons.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Moira chuckled as she watched Mary.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Is that for Eld’s sake again?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Hearing that, Mary blushed.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”W-Well, I guess so……”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Oh, I see~. Then I think I’ll work hard to learn too~.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Eh?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Because I also want to do something for Eld~. Mary taught me how to put magic power into cooking~, so if my cooking improves, I’ll make even more delicious food than Mary~.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Hearing that, Mary quickly gulped down the alcohol in her glass. Then, she slammed it down on the table with enough force to break it. Fortunately, the glass didn’t even crack.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Fufufu, Moira. No matter how hard you try, you can’t beat me in cooking. Do you know how much my grandmother trained me?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Layla watched nervously, wondering if Mary and Moira were going to start fighting. The two glared at each other with smiles, but after a while, they burst into laughter.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Ah~, it’s true that if Moira cooks too, my burden will be reduced~.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Ah~ but~, Mary’s cooking is still the best~. But I also want Eld to eat my cooking~.”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Layla was relieved that nothing happened.
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Hey Layla, what do you think?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]”Layla-san, what do you think~?”
[space_man]
[space_man][space_man]Layla, who hadn’t expected to be asked anything, was flustered and couldn’t answer properly.
