'Cocktail Potion' by Transworld Transfer Bartenders

Someone who really wanted to help.

"It is. This is a new product, but what a new technology we've developed."

"... yeah. I see."

At a certain booth, Sui hammers intriguingly at the words of a female clerk who speaks to rap.

Rye is the one who looks bored nearby to see that.

It's me and Bergamo watching a little further away.

"Hey, Bergamo. You know what I'm saying?

"Refreshing"

It was as quick as a clear answer to my question.

Then, what Sui is hearing is about the 'potion coloring technique' that they have developed.

The store was the place I was worried about when I looked around the booth.

As I have confirmed many times, the position of 'potion' in this world is' medicine '.

It must have been a thoughtful action inside to color the 'potion' where it is that 'medicine'.

They exhibit the colorful potions that they've made.

At the point where I just looked around, I was eyeing their potion. Since I said I'd look around freely, I've decided to come here.

Their unique idea still doesn't seem to be very acceptable in this world. There are no other people here than us.

So when we stopped by, he was very happy to explain the product.

Besides, when I asked him how to colour it at no good source, he taught me lightly.

If there was a problem, I don't understand that magical means at all.

That's why I put a baton touch on Sui early, and this is how I watch it from behind.

Next to watching how it was, Bergamo looked around in his absence.

"What's up? Is there something you care about?

"Huh? No..."

Asked curiously, Bergamo replied in a somewhat restless manner.

"I don't care about things, I care about things"

"What's that?

"Um... am I really, really glad I'm here? You know, like a buddy."

I didn't have enough words to grasp the intent of the question.

"What do you mean?

"So, you know, I'm missing out on your generosity... criminals, right? I'm glad you trusted me. Am I supposed to take that trust?

"Well, you want to betray your trust?

"Yes, no! That's not true!

When I asked him jokingly, Bergamo hastily denied it.

It's easy to laugh and flush him off like that.

But I chose a few words to return them.

"To be honest, now when I helped anyway, I had my thoughts. That's the robbery."

"... right"

"But the best thing I could think about in that store was Sui's thoughts."

"... of the owner?

Me and Bergamo turned a blind eye to Sui, who was listening seriously to the explanation in the distance.

She has a scarce expression from time to time, but her face now just seemed a little fun.

"It's not like Suey made it clear, and if I did, it could be my assumption,"

That's right. I spoke of the imagination after I prefaced it.

"Suey thinks she's responsible for the fact that Bergamo robbed her for potion."

The suggestion was made, Bergamo questioned his eyes.

He tells me he doesn't know what it means, but he tells me he's slightly done.

"What I did, it's my fault for my sins. So if you want to make amends, be prepared to..."

"Of course, it is. But Sui thinks it's her fault that she couldn't prevent it. That's how you like people."

"... no way?

Bergamo was the first person to show up at the bar in search of a 'potion'.

The human came not as a 'guest' but as a 'robber'.

And to that distant cause, there was certainly our lack of effort.

It may be said that Bergamo's inability to come as a guest is due to our lack of publicity.

I can break it off with 'Sometimes that happens' and 'I can't help it'. That's because I'm watching People Help on the extension of Potion's... cocktail.

There's no way I can help people who aren't connected.

The only people I can help are people who have been directly involved with me.

The effort is how much better the store can be.

That's what I think.

But Sui just chose "potion" for the "help of people" method.

How connected can you be to a person who is not connected beyond that?

How many people can you engage with to help them?

How many human beings can know that it is not complete in the 'store'.

I guess that's what you're thinking.

When the Bergamo incident happened, Sui described himself as satisfied with the status quo,

Do what you can for 'help people', yourself for neglecting,

Above all, you must have regretted it.

"So Sui wanted to save Bergamo and Corsica, both of them. I wanted to help people who went wrong at my own risk."

"... Me too, you wanted to help?

"Oh. So I sheltered Bergamo then. I think Mr. Oyaji and Viola both knew how Sui felt. So temporarily, but I missed Bergamo."

Even Mr. Oyaji and Viola didn't raise their hands to endorse what I said about the Campaign.

I can't believe the way I said it, that's what you have to do if you look for 'innocent' and 'people with clear qualities' and hire them. I don't need to bother hiring 'robbers'.

Still, Sui wanted to help that 'robber'. I wanted to do my part.

"I don't care how much the disadvantages are. Still, we missed Bergamo. If I hadn't worked seriously, I'd be sticking it out. But you're not, are you?

"... of course."

"Then you will continue to live up to your trust. I hope you don't deny Sui's wishes."

…………

Bringing Bergamo in would be sweet.

I knew it was me who couldn't trump Sue's thoughts as head of the crime scene.

But even I regretted the incident.

It's the same thing I don't want to do any more.

Breaking it doesn't mean it won't hurt you.

"Hey, master...... no, total. One shot, hit me."

"What?"

I thought I'd been silent for a while, and Bergamo suddenly said that.

I'm just a little distracted, waiting for his word.

"Me. Come on. I had no idea what you guys were thinking about helping me. I thought I was just lucky to have been helped, only to try my best to die for the thanks I received. I'm so embarrassed."

Bergamo's dog ears, which usually stood tumbling, were dripping.

But its greenish gray stood pinned again, as a sign of determination.

"Punish me for being such a sweetheart. I don't need to hesitate. Goo please."

That's all I said, Bergamo closed his eyes and offered me his cheek.

I put down a little beat, and then I answered.

"Oh, I don't like it."

"Huh? Why?

To my response, Bergamo peels his eyes off with an unexpected face.

But I'm more surprised by that reaction.

"Why bother hurting an important business tool...?

I said it in my face, holding my hand to protect it.

My hand is an important tool for cocktails, both right and left. If you're going to hit me in unavoidable circumstances, I'm not going to hurt you, though, not for many reasons yet.

"If it's an elbow or a knee, you can give him a hundred steps."

"... uh, let me think about it"

"No, no, it's a joke"

I stopped Bergamo, which bothered me quite seriously.

Even if there's always a reason, I don't want to beat people up like that.

"That feeling is enough. Just work as you've always done."

"Well, that makes me feel..."

"Then work till you feel better"

To my suggestion, Bergamo was roaring in an incomplete burning mood.

I ask what I thought would distract him like that.

"I don't like it. Can I ask you one thing?

"Hmm? What?

"Who taught Bergamo our shop? I don't think my regulars are going to tell you how to make money."

How did Bergamo know about our store?

I just remembered I hadn't asked that.

Even if it's a wind rumor, it's hard to get that information out.

If it was someone I knew who told me, I might need to crush the rumors.

That's what I thought and asked lightly, but Bergamo answered vaguely, in a fuzzy way.

"... No, I don't know who it is. When I was running around, some weird woman told me."

"Weird woman?

"Oh. I remember. She was a beautiful, gray-haired woman. I'm looking for a doctor. I heard my story and I said," It must be magic deficiency. "

White-haired woman. I don't remember a regular hair color. I've seen it several times at first glance, but would there have been a beautiful woman there?

My thoughts, Bergamo keeps worrying and sinking.

"I was desperate to tell you about the store, and that's what I said." Temporary sin or my sister's life, which is more important, "so, I..."

"Enough. I regret it because I understand."

Speaking to Bergamo, who seemed to sink in, I peeked into his face.

"Bergamo is now one of our employees. So if you regret it, I'll probably work for that best store. That's fine."

"... wow. He said he knew!

After a small apology, Bergamo is forced to laugh nicely.

I dared to turn my gaze towards Sui, as I told her this was over.

"Wait. Well, that's a little tricky, but you'd better use the way you just did."

"I see! Sure, it's costly..."

Apparently, while we're talking, there's also a lot of talk about Suey and the store owner.

I was a little pathetic to see Rye looking at this one like he wanted me to help him.
