by volume 2
While huddling her body due to excessive fear, she slowly lifted the glass towards her mouth.
(Waaaaa…….)
The moment she touched the wine glass, Eina widened her eyes.
So good. It was too good.
As if her entire tongue was paralysis by a strong sweetness. It was smooth as if it melted the instant it entered her mouth.
The fragrance instantly entered her noise. The refreshing aftertaste, even the final and last aftertaste was still swirling in her consciousness. It was just like every cranny inside her body was infiltrated.
This should be able to attract customers repeatedly, Eina understood this just from one sip.
“This smell is……”
Then, shortly after Eina had drank Soma.
Dadadada, As if the smell of the wine had caught her, intense footstep sounds was approaching constantly.
“You, IS IT SOMA!?”
The next instant, with flowing red hair, the
“She came”
“Letting her come, so that’s how it is……”
“Ahah! Really, it really is Soma! What, Riveria specially bought it!? UWAHH, you caring fellow!”
Eina first looked at the wine glass that was emitting the mellow fragrance, then understanding what Riveria had envisioned, she had beautifully lured out Loki.
Even in the darkness, the red color hair and eyes still reflected a blood-red color. Although her squinted eyes brought an amused feeling, but the flawless appearance, that seemed to be something that a sculptor spent his whole life to create, was undoubtedly something that belonged to the Gods. Her slender and upright face was currently sparkling happily like a dog waving its tail.
“Although I was the one that paid for it, but the one who wanted to buy it was not me”
“Then it is Aizu! Coming back depressed was just so everybody could have a surprise!? Ku~, Aizu-tan is really cute!”
“That’s not it”
Loki, who was excited and wanted to directly hug her, was intimidated by Aizu’s sword aura, which she sent out in her depressed state. It was a feeling that if you do anything strange, I’ll cut you.
Loki sweated “Ah, ara?” while taking a step back.
“A…Aizu, isn’t it a bit overdone for just rubbing, how do you see it?”
“If you want me to agree, then please use words that I can understand. Compared to that, the one that brought that specialty was this child”
Ah, so that’s how it was.
Just like this, Eina understood Riveria’s intentions.
The person who knew the insider information about
Although it was scary to directly hear from a God, but Eina still decided to continue.
“Nnnn? Who, this child?”
“First time meeting you, Goddess Loki. My name is Eina Tulles. For this sudden visit……”
“Ah, ah, whatever is fine. I feel that my head was slightly itchy. Stop speaking”
Loki, who was waving her hand wildly as if it was troublesome, seemed to have noticed something and continued to stare at Eina’s uniform.
Widening her right eye, she revealed a sinister smile.
“What is this, a person from the guild wanted to come in contact with my
“N…No!? I did……”
“This child is my guest, you’re not allowed to slander her.”
“Ah, is it. If it’s Riveria’s guest, then it’s fine. Sorry, Eina-chan. Please forgive me?”
“N…No problem. There is no need to be apologetic……”
After being stared by Riveria’s quiet eyes, Loki seems to shrug disappointingly, then she revealed a wry smile.
She sat on the sofa rudely.
“Okay, let’s skip the formalities, and quickly go into the main topic. Since you brought my favorite, what do you wish to ask about?”
“……Then, I will go straight to the point. If you know any information about
“So you just wanted to ask about Soma? Haha, so that was it”
Holding a glass in one hand, while pouring wine into the glass with the other. Fuahh, Loki spat out a intoxicated sigh, and looked at Eina with a slightly red face.
“I also do not have a very good relationship with Soma, that idiot. Although I don’t know if I can respond to Eina-chan’s expectation……Anyways, it doesn’t matter, it is just a slip of mouth. What do you want to hear?”
“……The reason about the abnormality inside the
“Nnnn, you went straight to the core issue……But, how should I put it”
Loki swirled the glass while looking at the rippling wine inside.
After some time, she drained the wine inside the glass.
“Okay, let’s talk about the dispute between me and Soma! Ah, Soma refers to the wine, Soma? Don’t think that it is that idiot God?”
“Ha, ha”
“Then……I love wine. Love it, love it, absolutely love it. I would switch shops numerous times in a day, and continued to taste a variety of wine. Drinking till I’m drunk then I’ll barf, then drinking again and barf again. Just like that, I passed through an infinitely repeating happy life, until one day……I had a chance encounter with this wine, Soma”
I don’t understand. Riveria sighed and closed half her eyes to recall the past. Loki did not mind and continue.
“Should I call it as a fateful encounter? After I drank a mouthful, I was completely hooked onto it! I did not care about which
“Something interesting……?”
“Do you believe it, Eina-chan? This wine, Soma, was actually a failure”
What……, Eina could not help but do the same action as Bell when he had heard the news from Lili.
Loki smiled even deeper.
“I was very curious. If the failure was already this tasty, then how is the
Eina froze. This time, even Riveria was stunned. Although it was not out of hostility, but a God casually entering another God’s base was the same thing as saying that she was about to attack here.
There were also manners between Gods. Even from the perspective to prevent information leaks, there was no reason to easily allow other
“Although I screamed in front of their entrance “Soma! Marry me!”, I was pitifully rejected……Then I was very angry and did not even say hello and really entered”
Her head starts to hurt, Eina staggered and propped her head.
But at the same time, she had doubts about the
“I successfully entered. There was not even a child there. But is that really their base? Why is there no one there? From that moment, I felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong……However, I did not care, I was so happy that I was broken and I immediately began to stir around the items”
“……”
“Please, Loki. Refrain from exposing your own ugliness”
“Hmphhh, Riveria is really evil. Nnnn, forget it. Although I searched, but I could not find the true wine, Soma. Just when I felt that I drank enough and wanted to head back……That idiot was apparently there.
Was it that she was recalling the scene at that time, Loki bowed down and revealed a fierce expression.
“Ah, how should I put it afterwards, that idiot did not even say “Welcome”? But it was the first time that we met? He did not even take
a few glances and headed to the garden to work with a shovel. Only later did I hear that all the ingredients of the wine was planted by him. Ah, he did not even use anything as fertilizer, you know?”
In the gap between the conversation, Loki had continued to drink wine. Her flushed cheeks seems that she was a bit tipsy, her pitch was also raised up.
“Just that, that God called Soma……was a really annoying fellow”
“Eh?”
“No matter what topic was raised, he would only just “Ah” or “Nn” reply. Even though he was so actively taking care of his garden……Isn’t this another way of saying that I was not even not worth that dung-sprinkled land”
Was it that she was recalling the scene at that time, you could see that Loki’s anger was constantly increasing.
Eina wiped her sweat.
“Even though he was an indecisive and timid male God, he actually treated me as an idiotic scarecrow and completely did not care about me……Ahhhhh, damn. Once I think about it, it really makes me mad!”
“……”
“And, and, Eina-tan!”
“E…Eina-tan?”
“Forgiving that arrogant attitude, in order for me to get the true wine, Soma, I even bowed down in good faith! I even did up to that!? But guess what that idiot said after!?”
Truthfully, Loki did not feel the slightest hostility from Soma, so she thought that she might be able to succeed. There should be a way if it was just around one liter. So she was too careless.”
Looking at the seemingly harmless God, only then, did he stopped the hands that were working. He looked with sincere eyes at Loki and said.
“No”
Only at that moment, did he poured out a strong will.
“Mmmahhhhh! That kind of line said by that garbage was the most irritating!”
“Loki, enough is enough. Be careful not to deviate and quickly enter the real topic”
Fufu, after breathing a few times like that, Loki sat down on the sofa in a calmed down expression again.
“Sorry, sorry. After all the twists and turns, I finally tried to ask about the
Eina’s slender eyebrows slightly twitched.
From the very beginning, he did not have any motivation……?
In the end, what kind of goal does he have. This thinking penetrated her.
“Eina-chan, it is best not to think too complicated? In other words, Soma only loves about his own interest. He is an idiot that only wants the utmost perfection. He does not even have ambitions or any evil plots. He was only living simply for his motivation, a God that was simply motivated by his hobbies.”
“Although I say this, that fellow is also an existence like a person trying to become enlightened” said Loki, who mixed in a joke.
Among the numerous Gods, he was also one of the top in terms of weirdness.
Eina embraced this impression towards Soma.
“Then, the problem here mentioned was the
“Could it be……”
“That is correct, it is the
The wine drop that was sticking on her lips, Loki stretched out her tongue to lick it off.
“I think that Eina, who drank the failure product, should be able to understand. If it was the finished product then it won’t be just good. After you drink it, you will become
Eina felt a chill hit her.
She remembered the high feeling when she drank the failure.
It was not malicious. Purely by the wine’s flavor, it penetrated her consciousness and attracted her. Her heart was really floating up.
And above that, was it the feeling of being enchanted?
Underneath her uniform, she was quietly filled with goose bumps below.
Loki used “If I say it like this, it would be much easier to understand, right?” as a premise to conclude.
“The children there do not worship Soma, but
What they have faith in is not the god, but the
In other words, the reason why
Just by drinking a mouthful of the God’s Wine that brings supreme happiness, the believers were deeply addicted to it.
“That is the true form of that idiotic God. Without letting a member with
Eina noticed.
Within Loki’s title of Soma as an idiot, it also includes feelings of fear.
“Since all of the God’s
“Fumu. You can almost see the whole picture. In other words, the God Soma used God’s Wine to lure in members……”
“Yes, that’s correct. Once the members taste the God’s Wine, they will do whatever they can to earn money. Since it is impossible to allocate the prize to every member. In that situation where they confirm the amount of gold, only the highest ranked person would be awarded the God’s Wine. Thus, the members inside the
I can’t remember anymore. Towards Loki, who moaned, Eina could only leave it aside. At least she finally understood somewhat.
The numerous times she saw the
“However, isn’t it an item that seems to be more dangerous the more you hear about it? Is it really okay to not care about it?”
“Nnnn ——, that way of saying is incorrect. Although it
This was the difference between a drug, Loki said.
There were no forbidden symptoms. There was also no dependency syndrome.
In the end, the believers being enchanted was only a momentary thing, as long as you wait for a while, the effects will completely disappear.
Except that while you are in
“Ultimately, there are only short-term symptoms for dependence, is it like that?”
“Yes. After they stopped drinking God’s Wine, there are also many normal children that recovered, right?”
To further add on, it was the resistance towards God’s Wine. High-ranked members of
Speaking of which, Eina remembered. Among most of the Adventurers inside
nt towards money, there were a few people that reached Lv.2, who were relatively calm.
“To sum it up, beside his own interest, the idiotic god, who do not have any other hobbies, is being irresponsible for managing his
Originally, if the Main God of the
By using the Main God’s authority to issue a statement, no matter what
Thinking about what lead to this situation, although it was harmless to humans, it really was Soma himself.
“Since I have already said this much. Then, Eina-chan, do you still have anything you want to hear?”
“No, this is enough. I am very grateful”
She had already understood the situation about
Although the thirst that deviated from normal wine was terrifying, but it was still within permissible range.
Wine, on top of that was the people who were only interested in money. If they really had to compare it to the other Adventurers that enter the dungeon seeking money, it was not that different. What was scary was that, yes, the moment when they try to achieve their goal at all cost.
If it was just like how Loki had said, this risk will only happen to a small amount of believers. Thinking back about what Bell had said, the Supporter he hired was not indulged in the wine, so she should be completely normal.
At least, it will not develop up to the worst situation where Bell was exposed to dungeon. Thus, Eina settled down.
Towards her, who was racking her brains, Loki opened her thin eyes and stared.
“Eina-chan”
“Yes?”
“It is just like the donkeys who have a radish hanging in front of them, they will never be able to eat that radish, do you know?”
“Towards being suddenly asked a strange question, Eina froze for a moment.
Loki used her index finger on both hands, Pipi, and moved it up and down in turn. Without waiting for a response, she continued to speak.
