“Come on, come ooon, Krai Baby. Say ‘aaah.’”

“Aahum.”

As I accepted the offered fries, I followed Tino’s gaze: her eyes were fixed on Sitri. With a grin on her face, Sitri was stirring a mug of golden ale with a swizzle stick.

...Hmm? But that’s not a cocktail—that’s golden ale.

With me thoughtlessly chewing the heavily salted fries, Liz, seemingly satisfied, finally released my arm.

By then, Sitri had already removed the swizzle stick.

Reprimanding Liz, who’d returned to her original position, Sitri said, “Gosh! Liz, you’re bothering Krai again...”

“It’s not a bother at all, right, Krai Baby?” asked Liz with a smile.

I couldn’t possibly shake my head in disagreement.

“Krai, you’re too indulgent with Liz... I’ll stop her if she gets dead drunk, okay?”

“I’m not getting dead drunk. Siddy, what have you been seeing in me all that time? I’ve long surpassed mere alcohol—”

As if to demonstrate, Liz downed the mug of ale in front of her.

Tino let out a small cry.

The golden liquor in the cup, which had been filled to the brim, vanished in a blink of an eye.

Slamming the empty mug onto the table, Liz said, “By the way, Siddy, are you Akasha’s—?!”

But as Liz was about to continue, her eyes lost focus, and her body swayed wildly. The piled-up empty plates clattered as Liz almost lost her balance and barely managed to right herself by grasping the edge of the table at the last moment. Her breathing was heavy, and her eyes wandered aimlessly as if she were shaken.

“See, Liz? That’s what I’ve told you...” said Sitri with a sigh. She chuckled as the corners of her eyes lowered.

Liz shook her head vigorously and raised her still-out-of-focus eyes at Sitri, aiming an accusatory glare at her.

“Si...ddy... You spike it?!”

“Hey! Don’t blame that on me! Besides, Liz, I thought you’d ‘long surpassed mere drugs.’ Right, T?”

“I-I...didn’t see anything. I didn’t see anything at all.”

Tino, with tears in her eyes, clutched onto her own mug and shook her head fiercely.

Within our short stay at the tavern, Liz had emptied seven mugs. Perhaps because it’d been a while since she’d visited a tavern, I felt like she was drinking at a rather fast pace. Despite everything, Liz was still human; so with that amount of alcohol, she was surely going to get at least a little tipsy.

Notwithstanding the sinister tenor of Sitri’s moniker, she wasn’t someone so sinister that she’d spike her sister’s drink—above all, she didn’t have a motive.

Meanwhile, I tried to calm Liz down as she looked like she was about to pounce.

“Easy there, Liz. Sitri didn’t do anything. You probably just drank a bit too much.”

“Huh!? You serious, Krai Baby? Are you not going to be on myyy side?”

In a rare display, Liz appeared to be shocked.

Even if you say so...you’re going to start a fight at this rate, aren’t you? No matter how you put it, I can’t help but feel sorry for Sitri.

“I’m serious. Dead serious. And it’s not about sides. So, you want some tea? I might have accidentally taken a sip though.
