Volume 7 Chapter 365 - Drinking Constest
Seeing Riveria's unexpected reactions, Ais, Lefiya, and Line immediately took a sip on their chilled Frosted Lemonade, "W-what's this…? It's sweet, creamy, and citrusy… Such a strange combination yet I can't get enough!" Lefiya muttered while Ais and Line just happily sip theirs.
"Never had anything like that?" Kisuke asked.
Lefiya was startled that Kisuke suddenly talked to her but still answered, "N-no…"
While taking a sip on his own drink, Kisuke explained, "It's actually easy to make. It's just the combination of lemonade and vanilla ice cream."
"Vanilla ice cream?"
"Hmm? You don't know about the ice cream?"
Lefiya shook her head.
"I see… So ice creams don't make their rounds here… Another one added to the menu~." Kisuke muttered as he celebrated the new addition to his totally-not-a-scam product lineups of overpriced items.
"What's that? Kisuke, give me some too!" Loki approached the girls after knocking Hestia out with liquor. The other girls of the Loki Familia also wanted to ask for some but they don't know Kisuke or anyone from his group so they just watch the four from their enjoy it.
"Ah sure~. Syr-san! Another glass please." After receiving the glass, Loki asked the same as the four girls from her Familia.
"Woah!… Did you invent this?" Loki asked after taking a sip from the otherworldly drink.
"Nope. It's a common drink from the place where I came from."
"Hmm…" While sipping, Loki saw Riveria's rare frustrated expression and decided to come to her 'rescue', "Alright! The night is still young so let's have a drinking contest, Gareth!"
Gareth chuckled at her invitation and accepted, "Very well. I'll best you at your own game."
"By the way, the winner gets to do whatever they like with Riveria's boobs!!" Loki suddenly declared and it was followed by cheers.
"I'll join!" "Me too!" "And me!!" "Same!!!" Since everyone already had their drink all of them were a bit tipsy, including Finn who Tione kept giving drinks for some reason, "Then me too~."
"Captain!?" Tione grabbed his shoulder and tried to dissuade him.
"R-Riveria-sama…" Lefiya called out to her superior in concern.
Riveria only closed her eye and sip her drink, "Let them say what they will…" Riveria didn't really care as Loki always wins and she could just bash her head when she tries something funny. However, Loki's next words made her realized her plans.
"What about you, Kisuke-kun? Want to join?" Loki suddenly invited him to join in the fun.
"Oh? I can join? But is that fine with Riveria-san?" Kisuke asked.
Loki looked at Riveria, and Riveria nodded, "Do whatever you want…" Riveria isn't considering the consequences that she'll be put on if Loki lost as she trusts her and nobody in the whole Orario could actually match her in drinking. Her focus is also on thinking of the questions she can as while Kisuke is intoxicated and putting herself on the risk is a small price to pay.
"Then let me in~! Cheers!" Grabbing a mug of ale, Kisuke chugged the entirety of it, "Fuahh~! The winner will be me~!" But just after that one mug, Kisuke's face became very red making the Loki Familia think that he's a lightweight. However, Yoruichi and co only gave Riveria a pitying look. Riveria noticed this but didn't mind it much as she knew Loki better than them.
Seeing Kisuke became tipsy after just a mug, Bete sneered and suddenly proposed, "Before competing, why don't you make a bet with me?" Ever since being scammed for the first time, he has always been looking for a chance to redeem himself when Kisuke arrived in the pub.
Kisuke grabbed another mug and chugged on it, "Fuah~! Yeah??? Sure~!"
Bete internally laughed thinking that he's an idiot, "A drinking contest! If I win, you'll give me that pepper spray of yours and I'll empty that entire bottle on your face!"
Kisuke looked at him with widened eyes and asked, "What if I win?"
"What do you want?"
Kisuke looked around with swimming eyes before answering with a big smile, "You pay for everyone's drink~!"
"Buhahaha! Fine! Drink up!" Bete took a mug full of ale and chugged it.
And Kisuke did the same, "Great~!"
Riveria was worried that Kisuke would go down immediately trying to compete with Bete before she could even ask her questions, however, those worries are proven to be useless as, after half an hour of chugging, Bete fell down with his mouth frothing and his whole body convulsing. Seeing this, everyone from Loki Familia was dumbfounded because despite being on the lightweight side, it looks like Bete could easily handle Kisuke.
But after the initial state of being tipsy, no matter how much Kisuke drink, it only worsened a little. They couldn't tell if he's really a lightweight or not.
Swaying a little bit, Kisuke crouched down and called out for the frothing puppy, "Oi~. Bete-san~? *HIC*… It's your turn~! What are you doing down there?"
Bete is already unconscious so he can't answer but Kisuke pretended not to know that and gave a good loud slap across his face, "Oi~! Bete-san! It's your turn!"
They were about to declare Kisuke the winner, but thanks to that loud and clear slap, the everyone from the Loki Familia became frozen.
"What~!? *HIC* Are you pretending to sleep so that you can skip a turn~!? That's not good!" Becoming 'infuriated' with the 'cheating' dog, Kisuke suddenly pulled a funnel out of nowhere and shoved it in his mouth and proceeded to drain a mug of ale on it, "You can't skip your turn!" The poor mutt is being drowned in alcohol.
Tiona immediately reacted and pulled Kisuke away from Bete, "Stop! Stop! Stop! He already can't continue!!! You're going to kill him! You already won! And why do you have a funnel with you!?"
"I always have it with me just in case~," Kisuke answered while hanging on Tiona's arms.
"Just in case of what!?"
"Some idiot pretends to sleep and skip a drink in our contest! It's very convenient, you know~!"
"Why are you prepared for that!!!?"
Kisuke then proceeded to ignore her and stood up on his own, "So it's my win~! Cheers! For all the drinks are free!!!"
After his declaration, everyone, including the members of the Loki Familia, cheered, "YEAH!!!"
Leaving behind the dumbfounded Tiona and the almost drowned dog, Kisuke went to Loki and Gareth's spot with swaying steps, "Now then~! *HIC* Whoever goes on my way to Riveria-san's boobs will go down! Riveria-san's boobs are mine!!!"
Riveria almost choked on her drink after hearing Kisuke's 'manifesto'. This is the first time she met someone who could spout such things aside from Loki and ended up blushing a bit while coughing. She then recalled the stares of pity that she received from Kisuke's companions, 'It can't be… right?'
While the men of Loki Familia didn't know how to take that it, Loki and Gareth only both laughed out loud.
"That's rich coming from a brat who's about to fall over! Riveria's boobs are mine!" Loki said after downing a mug.
"Fuahaha! I like your spirit, kid!" Gareth did the same and invited Kisuke to drink another one.
Because of the question she kept asking Kisuke, she would regret ever agreeing to Loki's proposal.
