§ 7. The Banquet Begins

Agarofione Sword Emperor Palace.

The banquet hall was lined with tables of dragon meat dishes and copious alcohol, a buffet-style feast.

Attending were those from the Demon King Academy, Diedrich, the knights that were his direct subordinates, and the Knights of Agatha.

“Allow me to introduce you,” Diedrich said. “This is the mighty Demon King and his followers who hail from the nation of Dilhade. They are the heroes from the other side of the dome that the prophecy spoke of.”

Dragon Knight Nate made an admiring noise. “Ooh. So these are the people who stopped Jiordal’s Beherom prayer?”

“That’s right. This is Demon King Anos and his Selection God, Arcana. They repelled Gadeciola’s Phantom Knights, beat up the followers of Jiordal, and defeated Pope Golroana’s prayer.”

More surprised voices could be heard.

“The Phantom Knights, as in, the Fiend of Purple Lightning?”

Diedrich nodded solemnly in response. They must be referring to Ceris.

The knights murmured their admiration.

“How valiant...”

“Although it was after her symptoms began to show, not even Deputy Commander Sylvia could handle that devil...”

“And these are my trusted retainers,” Diedrich continued to me. “They’re all heroes who protect Agatha, though currently we’re three short.”

Out of those three, two were probably Ricardo and Sylvia.

“Well, let’s not sweat the details. Let us all drink ‘til morning to celebrate our new friendship!” Diedrich raised a cup into the air. “To the heroes from above!”

The knights brought the cups in their right hands to their chest, in the Agatha style salute. “Our swords bless thee!”

They cheered in welcome and downed their brimming cups of alcohol. Perhaps it was because they were draconids, but they all looked completely unaffected by their drink.

“Hmm. It seems you’re all quite the drinkers,” I commented.

I knocked back the cup in my hand as well.

“Mm... This is some strong alcohol. Like 40% or so?” Eleonore said, gulping down her drink and pouring more.

“Ha ha ha! Did it suit your tongue? It’s called the dragonfang wine, and it’s a recipe unique to Agatha. The drink seeps right through your entire body,” Diedrich explained.

Sasha glared at her cup of dragonfang wine. “Seeping through the body doesn’t sound like a good thing...” she muttered.

“Maybe you should avoid drinking,” Lay said.

“Aha ha, right,” Misa said. “You have pretty low tolerance, Sasha.”

“I-I’ll be fine! Isn’t that right, Misha?”

Misha blinked a few times, then tilted her head. “If you only take one lick, maybe?”

Sasha glared at her, an unhappy pout on her face.

“Here, Sasha. There’s fruit juice. Have some of this instead,” Eleonore said, a cup of juice in her hand.

“The same...as Zeshia...” Zeshia mumbled.

“You’re all worrywarts,” Sasha declared. “I’ll be fine. I’ve gained a lot of magic since then, and I’ve built a higher poison resistance too. If I can withstand magic poison, there’s no way I’ll get drunk over a little wine.”

Now determined, Sasha raised her head and knocked back the cup of dragonfang wine. As Sasha slammed her now-empty cup of wine back on the table and suddenly broke out into a beatific smile, Misha watched on, clearly worried.
