[……However, if it’s you that’s my opponent, then that’s a different story! Isn’t it great that you’re here, Chronois…… You’re strong, you’re a great opponent to hit!]
[If it’s to fight you, planning to hit those fellows…… isn’t so bad!!!]
[Tsk, this is why battle junkies……]

It seems that Chronois-san’s appearance has resulted in an increase in War King’s will to fight, as he joyfully takes a battle stance .
And in response to that, Chronois-san also raised her fists and took a stance, starting the battle that would shake heaven and earth, but for some reason, the War King lets down his stance first .
[……Is what I’d like to say, but I won’t do it today . ]
[Hoohhh, how admirable…… How come you changed your mind?]
[Well, there are also people I don’t want to fight, you know……]
For some reason, seeing the War King’s bringing down his will to fight, Chronois-san gives him a puzzled look, in which the War King lets out a big sigh .
[Anyway, I won’t act violently here, and I won’t hurt those fellows…… So you don’t have to stare at me with that kind of face…… “Kuromueina” . ]
[Eh?]
Surprised by the War King’s words, I looked in the direction of his gaze and saw a huge jet-black beast on the roof of the mansion .
Its appearance resembled that of a wolf, with black crystal-like spikes covering his entire body . A huge magical beast with a physique not that different from the War King .

After looking at the War King for a while, the magical beast body turned into black smoke, and when the smoke gathered in front of me…… it changed into the familiar form of Kuro .
[……Kaito-kun, are you injured? I came as soon as I heard from Ein……]
[Ah, yeah…… It’s okay . I’m uninjured . ]
[I see…… Megiddo . ]
[I know that already . I don’t have any chance at all when I’m against you, so I won’t act violently . ]
When Kuro came out, the War King easily promised that he wouldn’t fight and his body turned back to red .
[However, what I’m giving up was fighting Chronois…… I will still fight you, Kaito!]
[……Are you talking about that drinking contest?]
[Yeah, of course there’s the difference in size between us . So, let’s see…… I will drink ten cups for each cup Kaito drinks . Then, that should make it fair, right?]
[……U- Unnn . ]

When the War King drank ten times as much as I did and told me that he was going to compete drinking with me, Kuro had a troubled look on her face .
Sure, under those conditions, a normal human like me might be able to compete with him, but I’m not a particularly strong drinker…… No, do I really have to win? As long as I responded to his game, the War King might be willing to take it at that and willingly leave .
[……I’m sorry, Kaito-kun . Will you accept it? Megiddo has that kind of mentality, and it would be difficult to make him return otherwise……]
[Ah, unnn . I don’t really mind but……]
[I’m sorry . If Megiddo gets out of control, I will take responsibility and beat him myself . ]
[……Wouldn’t that kill me?]
After a strange flow of events, I ended up competing with the War King .
From there, the War King’s subordinates quickly prepared for the match and cups was placed in front of me and the War King in the blink of an eye .
In the meantime, I asked Kuro to heal Eta and Theta for me .
Even though they were enemies, it feels awkward leaving them wounded there…… and Kuro immediately helped me with my request, healing both of their bodies of their wounds .

They’re still unconscious, but I think they’ll be okay with this for the time being .
[… . . Underworld King, do you mind if I leave this place to you?]
[Unnn . It’s okay . I will look after Megiddo, thank you too, Chronois-chan . ]
[Well then, I will be going back…… I still have some work left to deal with . ]
Apparently, Chronois-san has some work to do, so she told Kuro that she would entrust the place with her .
[Chronois-sama, thank you very much . ]
[It’s all right . Lilia, I’m on your side…… If you need my help, don’t hesitate to call me . ]
[……Yes . ]
She’s still as ikemen as usual…… If someone just hears that part of your conversation, it will sound like the conversation between the hero and the heroine .
And then, a few moments after Chronois-san left the place, the War King called out to me, as it looks like the preparations are ready .

[Alright! Well then, let’s get this started, Kaito!]
[Ah, yes . Warlord-sama . ]
[You don’t have to be so stiff calling me that . We’re going to fight now, so you just skip with all that honorifics . ]
[Errr, then, Megiddo-san……]
[Ohh!]
Hmmm . Lots of stuff happened, but he’s quite a straightforward and easy to understand person .
Sitting down facing each other with a cup in front of us, Megiddo let out a lively smile .
My cup is as large as those cups used in Japanese weddings, but Megiddo’s cup is as big as a mini car…… With that size, putting aside 10 times, it would be even more than that .
[The rules are simple . We take turns drinking, and whoever gets smashed first loses…… Alright, I’ll go first! Oi, start pouring!]
[Hahh!]

Following Megiddo-san’s words, his subordinate poured alcohol into his cup .
That cup that might be enough for a whole barrel…… And Megiddo-san drank that ridiculous amount of alcohol all at once .
[Gulp…… Pfhuaaa~~ I can’t get enough of this! Alright, it’s your turn!]
[Ah, yes . ]

After Megiddo-san gulped his alcohol, I also drank mine…… wait, how strong is the alcohol they put in my cup!? The heck is this, it’s making my throat hurt!
It seems that the alcohol Megiddo-san has prepared for us is a very strong one, and I feel as if I’ve become a bit drunk after just one drink .
Isn’t the chance of me winning close to nil……
[Nice alcohol! Alright, let’s keep this going!]
[……Arehh? Speaking of which, Kaito-kun has Shiro’s blessing on him…… Arehh? Doesn’t this mean……]
And so, the drinking competition continued……

How many cups have we had now? I think this should be the seventh cup, right?
The first time I drank it, I thought it was strong that I’d quickly pass out, but strangely enough…… I still don’t feel like I’m going to pass out .
[Y- You…… are good…… This is supposed to be alcohol that could smash a dwarf with just one drink, but you still looked pretty composed……]
[N- No, it’s just that I’m not getting drunk for some strange reason……]
[Rather than that, I don’t think there’s any chance that Megiddo’s going to win this match, you know?]
[Ahh? What do you mean, Kuromueina?]
Compared to me, who was strangely unaffected by the alcohol, Megiddo-san has gotten drunk now, and seems to be having a hard time .
And for some reason, Kuro started saying that Megiddo doesn’t have a chance to win .
Naturally, Megiddo looked doubtful, but since I also don’t know why, I tilted my head .
[That’s because, Kaito-kun has Shiro’s blessing…… so he won’t get drunk . ]

[……Eh?]
[Wha!? What~~!? T- Then, does that mean!> That he would still be composed no matter how much he drinks!?]
[Unnn . ]
It seems that I, who have Shiro-san’s blessings, never get drunk, and no matter how strong the drink is, I won’t suddenly collapse from drunkenness .
That’s kinda on the level of cheating when used in drinking competitions……
Hearing Kuro’s words, Megiddo-san looked dumbfounded…… before slowly he fell on his back .
[……Ahh~~ Sheeettt, I lost huh~~ You’re amazing, Kaito, it’s been a long time since I lost . ]
[Eh? No, ummm, how should I say this…… It’s not really because of me that I don’t get drunk… . . ]

[That doesn’t matter! Borrowed power or not, it’s your power, and I lost to you . That’s all there is to it! Hahaha, well~~ It’s impressive how you won’t get drunk!]
[Ah, errr, yes . ]

Megiddo-san, who was lying down, admitted his defeat by praising me straight away .
I don’t know if he’s just clear-cut and straightforward, or just a frank and unwavering person…… But that’s probably why he had so many subordinates who adore his way of life……
Then, Megiddo-san laughed for a while with an amused look on his face, before he got up with a bang .
[Alright, let’s have a feast!]
[……Huh?]
[……Megiddo……]
[Oi oi, what’s with that unpleasant look on your face . We already fought it out, and settled it! Then, all that’s left to do now is to celebrate each other’s strenuous efforts and have a party!!!]
Megiddo-san suddenly talking about having a feast left me dumbfounded while Kuro had an amazed look on her face .
[Alright, you lot! Get ready for the feast! Don’t be stingy, and get us some of the best booze and food you can find! This is a party for the guy who beat me, and if we don’t have the best party, then it would be like tarnishing my name!]
[……Ummm, Kuro?]

[No, I know you’re confused, but he’s this kind of guy…… He only cares about fighting and having parties . ]
[………………]
Leaving me, who hasn’t been able to keep up with the situation behind, Megiddo-san gives orders to his subordinates, one after another to start preparing for the banquet .
I don’t know if I should say he’s an overbearing person…… Or rather, this is Lilisan’s garden though……
[Oi, the noble over there!]
[Y- Yes!?]
[I’ll be borrowing your garden!]
[Ah, y- y- yes!]
[Alright, go call everyone within your mansion! The more people there is in a party, the merrier!]
Ah, he properly asked for permission huh…… Well, it feels pretty late already for him to ask permission .

Dear Mom, Dad—— How should I say this… Megiddo-san is lively and frank, though he’s also as intense as blazing flames . And also, I don’t know how it happened—— but a party began .
Underworld King: “I hardly had any appearances lately, so even if Chronois-chan can already handle it on her own, I still came out!”
