Side Story - The Two Who Met
Part 1
Roxy Migurdia had arrived in Kurasuma town.
Kurasuma town was situated in the northern tip of the Magic Continent.
Though it wasn't to the extent of Rikarisu town, it was certainly a flourishing city.
It didn't seem to have any special features at a glance, and was an average town that you could find anywhere.
However, in truth the Demon King reigning over the town had good relations with the Ocean Race so there was trade between them.
Kurasuma town was the location for that trade, and was a town where the goods of both the Ocean Race and Demon Race were gathered.
From the Ocean Race came the blessings of the sea and from the Demon Continent were strong herbs characteristic to the area.
Kurasuma town was home to an extremely delicious cuisine that made use of the two of them.
It could be said that only one or two other towns on the Demon Continent could compete with it in food. Incidentally, one of those towns was Wenport.
"The food here goes well with alcohol!"
Having come to the town, Talhand was in high spirits.
Kurasuma town not only had the dry drinks of the Demon Continent, but also the sweet drinks of the Ocean Race.
Talhand, a dwarf, was a drinker.
As long as it was his beloved alcohol, no matter how bad the drinks might have been, he would unfailingly head to the tavern, hit it off with the ruffians there, and drench himself in alcohol.
You could find taverns everywhere, so he could find people he got along with everywhere.
Moreover, as long as you gathered good drinks, Talhand would be in high spirits.
However, to Roxy who had childish tastes, the cuisine of this town was a little disagreeable.
To begin with, the cuisine and seasonings of the Demon Continent weren't very palatable to her.
That's why no matter how it was modified, she didn't think it'd be very tasty.
Roxy was a person who liked sweet things.
However, the specialty of the Ocean Race was their sweet alcoholic drinks.
This was good.
To Roxy whose common sense dictated that alcoholic drinks were dry, the existence of sweet drinks was quite a shock.
If you sniffed them, you'd find they had the scent of the sea, and if you held it in your mouth, an indescribable sweetness would spread across your tongue.
Though it left just a faintly salty aftertaste, it was something you could get rid of with snacks.
"What's this, what's this? Isn't this a rare sight!? You're going to drink, Roxy!?"
"Yes, I'll be drinking."
"Well aren't you in good spirits today!? Let's drink! Barkeep! Bring us a cask! I'll show you how we dwarves drink!"
Talhand saw Roxy drinking, and in a good mood, placed an additional order.
It was at times like these that Roxy was glad for the low prices of the Demon Continent.
After all, no matter how much they ate and drank, a single Asura copper coin was enough to cover it all.
"Jii-san, you drink pretty well!"
"Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!"
"As expected of a dwarf, huhhh!?"
"Alright, let's have a match! Barkeep, a cask for me too!"
Talhand who drank by the barrel had set off a trigger, and other customers began drinking as well.
Incidentally, Elinalise had already come across a man she liked, and they had disappeared into the night together.
Usually Roxy would begin to feel alienated, but before she noticed, she was already cheering on Talhand with the girl next to her.
"Faaahahaha! He's quite the agreeable dwarf, isn't he!? A cask, you know, a cask! No matter the age, the dwarves never change do they!? Hey, don't you agree?"[1]
"Yeah, that's true."
"Ohhh! It begins! Drink! Drink! Drink!"
"Chug! Chug!"
After carrying over casks, along with another demon, Talhand began to chug down the alcohol magnificently.
Though he certainly had a wide body, just where did the alcohol go?
Having drained a cask that could barely be carried with one arm, he had burped.
Immediately afterwards, he carried over another.
"Oi! More drinks!"
"Shaddap! We're out already!"
"If you don't have any then buy some from a neighboring tavern!"
"Ohhh! There was that option as well!? Orright! You there, go buy some!"
"Leave it to me! You lot chip in as well! Tonight we'll drink to the end!"
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Like that, a bag for collecting money was passed around.
"Hahah! Ojou-sama! Have some pity on a wretched drunkard!"
"Okay. Tonight is... my treat!"
At any rate, the mood today was good.
Roxy chipped in 1 green mineral coin.
Seeing that, the men lowered their heads, laughing and grinning.
"As expected of Ojou-sama! Oi! You're rich!"
"Huhu, that's... obvious!"
In a relaxed and pleasant mood, Roxy gave an exaggerated nod. Though her response sounded quite similar to usual, she was drunk.
"Faaahahaha! Tonight, I have money as well! Graciously accept it! Then make merry! Tonight, we'll forget about social status!"
The girl next to Roxy produced a scrap iron coin and chipped in as well.
Though they'd usually crack jokes about someone who only chipped in a scrap iron coin after all that big talk, the guy collecting the money was drunk as well.
"Uehehe! Thank you very much, Ohime-sama! Tonight we'll drink until we hurl!"
"Good, good! Hurl lots!"
The girl nodded self-importantly, and the collector continued around the room, collecting money.
"Very good, very good! This atmosphere brings to mind the old days!"
Roxy didn't know when the girl had sat down next to her.
By the time she had noticed, the girl was already next to her and munching on the food that Elinalise had left behind.
Roxy didn't mind though; she was drunk after all.
"Well, whatever. Have a drink."
"Ohhh, thank you. Still, it's fortunate that I had come to see what was so fun here," -gulp gulp- "Come now. Won't you drink as well!?"
"I am drinking."
"Drink more!"
"Drink more? I guess it can't be helped..."
Since Roxy was told to drink as well, she gulped down the contents of her cup.
"Puhaa!"
"Here! One more for the Ojou-sama!"
"Ah, thanks."
When she had placed her cup on the table with a bang, a cheerful man had come out of nowhere and poured her another cup.
As long as it was this sweet drink, she really could drink endlessly.
"You're quite a heavy drinker as well, are you not!? For one so young, you're splendid!"
"I don't want to be called young by you."
Roxy stared at the girl.
Boots that came up to her knees.
Leather short-shorts.
A leather tube-top.
Her collarbone, curveless waist, navel and thighs - all of her skin was pale.
Voluminous and wavy violet hair and horns like a goat.
No matter how she looked at it, this girl was younger than her.
"Huhu, thank you for the flattery. One keeps their age in mind, after all!"
Seeing this girl, normally Roxy would have wondered, [Was there a demon clan like this?]
However, she didn't consider it.
She was drunk, after all.
"I'm keeping my age in mind as well. Well anyway, have a drink."
"Ohhh, thank you. Still, the drinks have gotten quite tasty over these past few centuries. In the past, there wasn't anything like these sweet drinks on the Demon Continent."
"I hear it's the Ocean Race's drink. The Demon King here has been doing business with them or something."
"What was that!? That Baglah Haglah bastard has been hiding this from me, huh!? Unforgivable!"
"Isn't it fine? Abandon all ceremony, and forget about social status."
"Ohhh, you're right. Tonight we were ignoring social status!"
Demon King Baglah Haglah was the Demon King who reigned over this area.
He was a stout and chubby, pig-faced Demon King, and it's said that he was the most knowledgeable about food and drink on the Demon Continent.
Though he was politically moderate, he had participated in fierce attacks during the Laplace campaign.
Because he had plundered all the food and drink from the territory of the Human Race, he gained the name 『Plundering Demon King』.
"Whoa, he's smashed!"
"-Uuiiiick- Who's next? Anyone is fine, so bring it on!"
"Anyone!? Is there anyone who's up to it!?"
At some point Talhand had become topless and was sitting on the table, leaning his elbows against a cask and displaying his might.
The who challenged him was the girl next to Roxy.
"Alright! You can leave things to me!"
"What's this, Ojou-chan? Do you think you can win against me? Wouldn't it be fine to challenge me again 20 years from now?"
"Faaahahaha! Oh, foolish dwarf, can you not tell at a glance? Despite appearances, I have lived for 300 years already!"
"I see, I see. My bad. Well then, bring it on!"
"Very well... Oh, but before that, I ask for your name! I shall certainly remember the foolish one who challenged me!"
"It's 『Talhand of the Great Rigid Peak』."
"I see! The one who defeats you is the 『Demon Empress of the Mystic Eye, Kishirika Kishirisu』!"
And like that, Kishirika and Talhand's battle began.
In the blink of an eye, the extra alcohol was drained, and a bag for chipping in was passed around a second and third time.
Because Roxy decided to take responsibility, she chipped in 5 green mineral coins and sent off the shop boy.
Thanks to some strong men, a large amount of alcohol was carried in.
While everyone drank and passed it around, Talhand and Kishirika emptied it.
Roxy was the referee.
Though it wasn't clear what or how she was refereeing, while sitting and drinking, she was somehow left with the job of counting how many they had drunk.
"That's 40 cups."
The fated moment.
Until that instant, the match had seemed like a close struggle.
Putting aside the dwarf Talhand who was as strong as he looked, just where on earth did the girl who called herself Demon Empress store all the alcohol she drank?
No one at all had noticed.
They were drunk, after all.
Then, the conclusion was reached.
"Mugu-... Kpyu..."
The moment after Talhand had begun making mysterious noises, he began to throw up alcohol like a water fountain.
Then, just like a cask, holding his sides he collapsed.
With a noise,
