“Its name: Nile Ale, the Dragon God’s Jewel!”

Man, what a killer move. I’ve got goosebumps.

Was the stuff inside actually ale? The color of the bottle was so dark it was hard to tell.

“That day was the one time I got to drink this, never once before or after. I’ve been hunting for it ever since, but now I’ve found it at last!” I practically heard a Da da da dan! sound effect as she raised the bottle. She looked thrilled.

I was just happy that the gift went down so well.

I felt bad we’d bowled over Atofe so easily, but this was a crushing victory for Orsted.

“So, that ale—”

“That’s it! I’ll beat you and then the ale will be mine!” Atofe declared, the wine in her right hand and the Nile Ale in her left. She took what she wanted by force. A demon king to the end.

“I’m giving it to you!” I said quickly.

“You what?!”

“It’s a small symbol of friendship offered by the Dragon God Orsted to the Immortal Demon King Atofe!” I shouted.

When talking with Atofe, it was important to be loud and forceful so that you didn’t get steamrolled.

“Eh?” A question mark popped up above Atofe’s head. Around three had materialized while her brain shorted out. “What, are you chicken?” she yelled. “Fight me!”

“We can fight if you want, but I’m giving you the ale!”

“I don’t get it!”

You don’t get it, huh? That’s too bad. I tried to explain it as simply as possible…

“It’s not a banquet, it’s not a party, and it’s not a thank you or an apology. Why would you give this to her?” asked Moore.

Moore to the rescue. Right, I did need to explain that bit.

“The thing is, I have to fight this guy called Geese in the near future. He’s gathering powerful warriors under him to bring me down… I was hoping to ask Lady Atofe for her assistance in that battle.”

I wasn’t going anywhere near the subject of the war with Laplace eighty years from now. Orsted said that even if I asked her to work with me to fight Laplace, she’d never agree, and it’d likely end in a battle. She wasn’t duty bound to Laplace or anything—it was simply too difficult for her to understand. In all the futures Orsted knew, Atofe fought for Laplace without fail, so he’d arrived at the conclusion that it was easier not to bother persuading her otherwise.

I could talk to Moore about the details later.

“You want Lady Atofe to fight together with you?” Moore said.

“That’s right,” I replied. Thanks to Moore’s easy-to-understand translation, Atofe seemed to be following the conversation.

“Aha, I get it! I’m no dummy! I like it! Let’s do it!”

Wait, never mind, that sounded like she wasn’t following. She was nodding like Eris did after saying “Okay!” when she had no clue what was going on.

At least this response meant Geese stood zero chance of smooth-talking her into anything.

“Is that all you have to say?!” she demanded.

“Yes.”

And thus, I won Atofe’s allegiance. The Death God and the Immortal Demon King.
