'Cocktail Potion' by Transworld Transfer Bartenders

It was the day after the banquet that we received an official notice from the operation of the Potion Quality Review.

Guidance on the schedule to the ten stores that decided to compete in the main selection.

The main election is in two weeks, so it looks like a lot of paperwork will be needed by then.

"New 'potion' methods, materials, equipment and magic used...... hmm. Do we ever write that much, this?"

"Not really."

Sui answered my voice in a relaxed manner.

Right now, at the counter in Easy's, we're sitting side by side.

"Magic is only used when making potions out of demonic stones. Materials and equipment are nothing special, so I only write about the freezer. More importantly, the method just mixes. No magic bond interactions or anything with special formula ratios."

"I'm a little sorry you're getting so much paper."

That's really all the paperwork for submitting to the review.

I'll take a moment to check the schedule of the tournament and my belongings.

"Oh, is it forbidden to bring weapons"

"Naturally. Why do you need a weapon for a reputation?

"Well, I guess so."

I've been surprised lately because it was normal to be lowering it to my hips, but on second thought, I didn't need to bring the gun in.

But if I had to remove it, it would make me a little nervous.

"Do materials need to be checked through the operation once"

"Looks like fraud prevention. Important confidentiality about technology can also be monopolized, but basically information will be released."

"Oh, are you okay? Anything else to be imitated."

"To imitate, you need to pay a solid developer of technology. In that sense, there will be a great deal of reviews."

I see.

If we announce state-of-the-art technology first here and publish it.

Does the priority right to that technology lie with you in the future? That's a patent-like mindset.

"The only place to show it is the 'work' place, so you will show the main points while skipping the 'put to sleep' and other processes"

"Like cooking for three minutes."

"... I don't know about that"

"But the real race is seen by a lot of people, you make potions, right? Even if there's something you want to hide, don't you find out?

There is also the earlier fraud prevention, but from the point of "making" in this election, it is evaluated.

No matter how many secrets you want to keep, if you look at the scene, you'll know.

"Then the total thing is, if I was doing something magically, it would all look and you know what I mean?

"... I don't know"

Is that what you mean?

If I had seen it close again and again, it would still be difficult to reproduce it just because I saw it there a few times.

"But it's none of our business."

"Yeah."

After checking that far, me and Sui folded the paper for now.

Second, Sui rubs his eyes and yawns small.

Because I noticed that, Sui looked away just a little embarrassed.

"You haven't slept much?

"... I just stayed up a little late. Because I refilled the 'potion' I overused yesterday"

"Oh, yesterday was tough."

If you look closely, Sui had only slightly blackened her under-eye.

Couldn't I have noticed what was so easy to understand?

Maybe I was unconsciously trying not to look at Sui too much.

Yesterday's conversation with Mr. Oyaji came back just a little bit.

"Sui Ha"

"Hmm?"

"I'm going to keep the potion store going for the rest of my life, is that it?

To my sudden inquiry, Sui turned up so that he could think.

But leave little time between them and answer.

"What do you think? If that's the best way to benefit people"

"So what if we find another way?

"I might do it that way. I can't answer that because I never thought about it."

Sui grinned bitterly with a slightly troubled look.

But I couldn't even get the word 'unanswerable' out.

I'm sure Sui just hasn't thought about it and her mind has already decided.

I can support her on that path. I was just happy with the status quo.

I was acting like I was doing something for Sue.

But will it be over someday?

Spread the cocktail around the world.

My goals and those of Sui are consistent in that respect.

But if it comes true.

Sui would still move on.

But can I keep up with it?

In the first place, should I follow you?

"Total? What's wrong?

"... Oh, no"

"Did your father say anything to you yesterday?

It's not a big deal.

I didn't know why, I was making statements that would hide my heart from Sui.

"Hmm?"

Sui looks up at my face, like he explores me like that.

Such a trick is strangely cute, and I remember what Mr. Oyaji said yesterday again.

"For example, it's one thing to marry Sui and keep saving a lot of people for both of us."

"... is there someone who's been dating or something?

"Heh!?

Sui looked surprised and dropped back a few dozen centimeters as it was.

And I'm starting to panic with the momentum that I've never seen before.

Asshole or me. What are you talking about all of a sudden without context?

But Sui answered my words desperately.

"Yes, I'm not here! Because your father's eyes were tight and he didn't come close to a boy or anything!

"Really?

"Ugh, you suspect?

"Because you're so cute"

"Huh!?

Sui turned his face bright red with shame.

As usual, she's an unfamiliar girl.

"What are you talking about! Total asshole!

"Stay."

And I was observing, and a shock ran in the back of my head.

Looking back as he stroked his head, a slightly frustrated Rye was arming himself together.

She sighs and moves softly. Just halfway between me and Sui, it feels right next to both of them.

"What are you asking all of a sudden? You can't have a boyfriend."

There's no way I can do that, just a little bit of sui gave it a musty vibe.

"Why are you telling me all this?

"Because, sister. Because boys my age were afraid of me. They said," Blue Devil "or something."

"... don't tell me"

Sui looked shocked to hear the words.

But the "Blue Devil" is a name I also heard from Viola the other day.

Says, because of his faceless and low anger boiling point, the boys can't easily play a prank.

Assuming you're in a bad mood, its overflowing magical talent and lack of forgiveness makes you so traumatized, etc.

The anecdote and apparently the alias' Blue Devil 'was given from clear blue hair.

"So Viola said," The Black Devil, "and they both said," The Blues. "

"Wow, because I'm a viola entanglement"

Sui looked at me and just slightly soaked up and declared it with his face.

Finally, this is the first time I've ever known Viola's alias.

But Viola said the same thing.

"I'm a swim wrapper," he said.

I send my gaze all the way to Rye, but she shook her head and told her.

"So the two of us don't have any floating stories, and the outlaws who blocked the two of us..."

"... I need to be in this world."

"Unfortunately"

"Stop calling people like Reapers"

Sui swelled her cheeks and stared at us.

Apparently, I'm angry that you made fun of me.

Me and Rye apologized to Sui after laughing a little face to face.

"Sorry. Sorry."

"I'm sorry, sister. But forgive me a little bit. My God, I was just your sister's sister, and by then, I had a futile glimpse."

"I don't."

To our apologies, but Sui still turned to us without fixing her mood.

You've come to the boulder, Rye eats down just a little more.

"So sorry. I'm with your sister, too. Don't be mad at me like that."

Together? That means.

"Huh? You've never even dated Rye? You're that cute?

"Become!?

When I gave my honest thoughts, Rye also blushed again.

But soon after I put my expression back on my face and made my mouth pucker like I said something.

"Total idiot!

That's all I told him, and he walked away from me and went back to cleaning.

I don't know, I don't even try to make eye contact with this one.

Weird. I'm not supposed to be wrong about the way I praise you, but where did you get in a bad mood?

"Hey, sui."

"I don't."

"... aren't you in a bad mood?

"It's my fault."

Sui was a sui, and she didn't even try to keep an eye on me.

Rather, it looks more frustrating than earlier.

Because of that, I forgot what the hell I was talking about until just before.
