The next day, Roxy woke up.
"Uuu..."
Finding that she had a splitting headache, and that her own breath smelled of liquor, she frowned.
So as to clear the alcohol out of her body, she applied Healing to her head.
When she looked around her surroundings, she found that she was in the tavern.
It might have been because a brawl had broken out, but the table was broken, the liquor bottles were smashed, and a large amount of empty barrels were rolling about.
"Uuu, I overdrank, huh...?"
Her memory was fuzzy.
She remembered clearly though, that she had overdrank.
When she had incidentally looked to her side, she found that a half-naked Talhand was lying about with the whites of his eyes showing.
For a moment she had thought that he might have died, but it was impossible for a dwarf to die from drinking alcohol.
Even if they did somehow die, one of their childhood dreams was to die drinking, so it would probably be a satisfying death.
However, Roxy looked around once more.
She saw corpses all around.
Whether they were clans good at drinking, or clans weak at drinking, everyone was lying around groaning.
Amongst them was the man who had been collecting money.
All of them had passed out from drinking, and were suffering from hangovers.
[Even though you can't use healing magic, you were all drinking absurdly after all] thought Roxy.
However, amongst them stood two figures.
"Like I said, it's reparations, you know? Reparations. With my shop all messed up like this, I can't open up business, you know."
"No, well, but-"
"What, you can't pay? You had said it'd be your treat, right?"
"That is true, but I thought I'd have enough at the start..."
They were the figures of the angry shopkeeper, and the dejected Kishirika.
"So you don't have money?"
"No, well, sorry, I'm completely broke..."
"Well then, I guess there's no option left but to sell you at the slave market."
"What!? Sell me, you say...!? Wait, wait, I'll immediately contact Haglah so please wait for but a short while."
"I'm not waiting. That's just a plan to escape, right?"
Roxy sighed and felt for her purse.
Then, finding that there was only a single gold coin, she frowned.
While drunk, she had chipped in quite an amount.
(No, the one who was actually drinking was Talhand-san after all.)
With that excuse in mind, she unfastened the coin purse from the fainted Talhand's hips.
Looking inside, she found that there was plenty, and Roxy got up.
Frowning about the sour smell near her shoulder, she approached the shopkeeper.
"Here. It's payment."
"Mn?"
Roxy produced 6 green mineral coins from the coin purse and slipped them into the shopkeeper's hands.
"This isn't quite enough."
"This tavern completely sold out, so you've made quite a bit right?"
"...Well, it's fine I guess."
Saying this, the shopkeeper turned around and headed into the kitchen area.
While sighing, Roxy tossed the coin purse onto Talhand's hips.
"Ohhh... Ohhhhh... Thank you, truly, thank you!"
While trembling all over, Kishirika had looked up at Roxy.
Looking down on this sight, Roxy remembered what she had heard long ago from the village chief about the Great Empress of the Demon Realm.
Though her image was a little different, Kishirika's characteristics resembled what Roxy had heard.
If she was from a clan that possessed immortality, it wouldn't be strange for her age to be different from her appearance.
She was drunk last night so she had paid it no heed, but Kishirika seemed to be on good terms with the Demon King.
"Excuse me, I'd just like to ask once more but, you're the true Great Empress of the Demon Realm, Kishirika Kishirisu-sama, correct?"
"Mn? Ohh, that's right. Not many believe me these days though. Your name is?"
"Ah, excuse me. I'm from the Migurd clan of the Biegoya region, Roxy."
When Roxy named herself, Kishirika exclaimed 'Ohhh' and nodded.
"Roxy? Ohh, I know you, I know you. You're Rudeus's master, aren't you!?"
"...Do you know Rudeus?"
"We met by chance in Wenport. He was quite the interesting man."
"I-, is that so...?"
