VOL.22, DRINK
"I've rarely come to my place lately."
Taking a sip of the clear liquid from the white beaker in his hand, the elegant swordsman with his blue braids mixed with the smell of wine revealed a hint of humor.
In the Chaldees, there were definitely not a few servants who drank alcohol. However, he is the only one who can drink wine with such an elegant temperament.
Other drinkers, such as Jing Ke and Niu Ruomaru, are all like cows, as if they are participating in a drinking competition, and they will not stop until they finish drinking. Or the heroic drinking style of Alexander and Oda Nobunaga, not only to drink, but also to invite others, but also to gamble on wine, play to the end, and even dance swords and swords to help the fun. There is also the type of da Vinci who secretly fishes and drinks after work to relieve fatigue.
Kojiro's way of drinking does not belong to any of the above categories at all.
He drank as neither a hobby nor a hobby, nor as a means of making friends, nor as a sign of himself. He drank just to drink something tasty. It's like everyone drinks a drink.
will not be immersed in it, or even on the contrary, a little infected with the taste of wine, the appearance of him holding the wine glass, always makes people feel that even the wine glass has become elegant.
According to legend, Japan's precious tea sets during the Warring States period were even worth exchanging for the daimyos.
By the way, Yagi Yukisai, like most modern Japanese high school students, has an impression of Sengoku history from games, and his view of history has nothing to use as a reference.
In fact, Kojiro's complaints are on point.
Yagi Yukisai has gradually rarely come to Kojiro because of his own weapons.
The reason is simple, the number of ways of katana and Western sword is too different.
Although there is such a saying as [touch bypass], the premise of touch bypass is that you must first be proficient in your own martial arts! If you're not even good at Western swordsmanship, how can you learn anything else?
In addition, Mordred's character that can't stand loneliness always drags him to training. When he has nothing to do, Yagi watches anime, plays games, and reads manga. In addition to Mordred, when he has a whim, he will find Artoria Alter or Dilumudo to practice.
Now that Skaha had arrived, he had been preoccupied with her.
The reason, Kojiro can guess some of it.
I guess I took a fancy to Skaha's skills.
[Wisdom of the Demon Realm].
It was a special skill that allowed Skaha to teach the skills he possessed to others.
If you can get into her eyes and learn some hero-specific skills from her, it will not be whimsical. Now Yagi Yukisai is very harsh just practicing the gun and not neglecting the practice of the sword, how can he still have the luxury of coming to his side?
Kojiro was very open-minded.
(It's a bit heavy, it's not like me.) )
He raised his glass and drank the clear liquid.
This is Japanese sake.
The degree is very low, but it is full of stamina, and in general, Kojiro would not use this heroic way of drinking. But today is to drink all the haze born in my heart, so forget it.
"Well, it's great to be able to sit at the same table with the legendary swordsman His Excellency Kojiro. Hey, it would be nice if Mr. Hijikata was here. ”
On one side, the young swordsman sits upright, wearing a cherry pink kimono, holding a white porcelain wine glass in both hands, with the cherry blossoms above her head and the full moon in the sky, she is only beautiful like a fairy.
Genius swordsman, Soji Okita.
One of Japan's hottest themes,Representative character of Shinsengumi。
"Is it three years old? Speaking of which, he must be a woman too, right? ”
Yukisai Yagi quipped.
Hearing him joking, Okita Soji showed a little unpleasant expression on his face, and she said seriously, "Don't joke about Mr. Hijikata." He's amazing! And, of course, it's a man! What stupid are you talking about, why does Mr. Hijikata have to be a woman! ”
The puffing appearance of the Okita Soji made Yagi Yukisai feel aggrieved: Blame me? Soji Okita is still a man in history, what did I say?
As for why Yagi Yukisai suddenly came to them to enjoy the moon and drink together? Because, of course......
Yagi Yukisai glanced at the servant who was drinking loudly on the side, and his whole face was red like words.
He looked like a little kid under twelve or thirteen, with blue hair and big glasses.
His real name is Hans Christian Andersen. Although he is a child on the outside, he is a mature and cynical misogynistic fairy tale author who watches human history coldly.
The whole person was spread on the ground without any image, and Andersen drank another urn of sake.
At first, he still disliked the lack of sake, but then the strength of the sake came up, so he didn't care.
By the way, it should be explained here that the Chaldeans once forbade the servant to serve alcohol to the servant because of certain reasons. Recently, however, Miss Noelo lifted the ban, but if you want to drink, you must report it in advance, and there is a valid reason for it.
This time, the banquet was approved in the name of [Japanese swordsmen enjoying flowers and drinking and exchanging swordsmanship].
But for Andersen, that's enough.
It's enough to be banned from drinking alcohol just because you look like a child.
As for why Yukisai Yagi would help him............
"Well, Andersen great! Did you promise about the manuscript? ”
Yukisai Yagi reminded him in a whisper.
Yes, that's what he's for.
Hans Christian Andersen's Noble Phantasm [A Story Written for You] has a special effect.
If he continues to target a certain person and write stories for him, that person will receive a [Story Bonus]. Similar to the Visibility Bonus.
For Yagi, the weakest link as a servant is popularity.
If you could ask a world-famous fairy tale writer to write his own story......
It's a little exciting to think about it!
"Hey! That kind of thing, what's so bothering! Hmph, hum, hum...... There's a lot of inspiration here! Hum! ”
Hans Christian Andersen let out a drunken murmur as he picked up the huge book he was carrying, picked up the quill pen beside him, and began to write hard.
This is the [Youth Adventure Story] promised to Yagi Yukisai before.
As the saying goes, if you don't get up early, Yagi Yukisai is of course here for Hans Christian Andersen's enhanced treasure.
As long as you do this, you may be able to grow into a first-class ......
Before he could finish thinking about it, he heard a pop, and Andersen was lying on the book, his head tilted, and he actually fell asleep!!
Sake is the type that feels light in the mouth, but it is full of stamina, and if you drink it one urn at a time, you will definitely faint at the end!
Yagi Yukisai was stunned, this unfolding is really ......
"Yagi, do you drink it too?"
Kojiro held out his glass to him.
“…… Well, I'm not old enough to drink, but it's okay to have a drink once in a while. ”
Yagi Yukisai smiled slightly, thinking to himself: Although he didn't trick Andersen into writing a story for himself, it was also a great reward to be able to drink with these famous heroes.
