'Cocktail Potion' by Transworld Transfer Bartenders

"What do you think?

"............ no. None of this is a substitute."

I ran around to the critical time and tried all the potions I had collected.

But all of them are still in short supply.

Then I can swallow it like water. However, its completeness is not far from that of the 'Aurantiaca' I drank before.

Not to mention that this is too adult to be an ingredient for a 'cocktail'.

In the first place, we all make adjustments that kill the taste. It's not easy to find.

"... well"

I feel sorry for Rye, who bowed his head softly.

"Thank you Rye, Sui. Run around for me."

"... yeah. I'm sorry I couldn't help you."

"I'm fine. 'Cause if I could find it, I'd make money, I'd feel like it."

Pong and pounding Rye's head, which is soothing.

Rye looks at me just a little upward, but he didn't have anything to say.

"Than that."

Sui made a sharp voice, as if to switch the air on the spot.

A little, after looking around, I ask the young knight in the room.

"Viola hasn't come back yet?

"Yes, I just said it would come out a little bit"

"... yes"

On this occasion, there is no sign of Viola and Bergamo.

Once they broke up, they apparently left this venue. He didn't tell me where he was going, but he just said he was bound to go back.

But I still haven't seen that.

"What will you do? If you don't get ready now, we'll have time."

"... ok. Just get ready. Instead, is it possible to wait on stage until the critical end of announcement time?

"... ok. Then I will call the staff, please wait a moment"

After the knight left the room early, I grabbed my trembling fist.

If you can't find a substitute, [substitute gimlet] is the most realistic option.

It's the best we can get on this scene.

Are you sure that's all right?

Is that all you got?

"… total"

Sui's hand grabbed my fist softly as it wrapped my feelings that I hadn't spoken.

I turn a blind eye to the girl who divides the warmth.

"It's okay. Trust Viola. Because she's definitely coming."

"... oh. I know."

I found Sui himself biting his lips.

I'm not the only one. Every human being waiting here is going to be crushed by impatience.

Still, Suey's worried about me trying to keep her promise last night.

Then I should live up to it.

"Suey's fine, too. Because I never feel responsible. I'll take care of it under any circumstances."

"... yeah"

To my words, Sui relaxed just a little bit.

The wrinkles that were leaning between my eyebrows disappear and only a few signs of relief are lodged in my eyes.

For a while, stare at each other to reassure each other.

"Um, come on. You and I have no nervousness. What the hell?"

""... Huh!

To Rye's vague feelings, Sui and I rushed to distance ourselves from each other.

Eventually, the Knights people come to the room to prepare.

They apologized to us verbally. It's all our fault, he said.

But the more I heard, the more inexplicable it was that the thief went in.

I hear the key to this world is a little different than the key I know.

Double keys seem to dominate, which are also magically locked along with physical locks.

And that form of magic is invisible to ordinary humans. Even if the wizard finds out, you think it's a tricky business to create the magic to unlock that key?

He said it would take a few hours to swim and match from nothing.

But the Knights haven't been watching for hours like that.

Once every thirty minutes, I would go by even if I didn't want to, and I looked around regularly.

In front of the door, you can't possibly find a human who spends hours unlocking the key.

And there's no record of the master key being brought up either.

Then there will be only one line left for the killer.

In a position involving the operation from the outset, it means that the offense is almost impossible unless you are a person who can prepare the key in advance.

Unfortunately, I had only one idea.

"Hey, Sui, Yugiri. You arrived a long time ago. I thought you ran away because you were scared to announce."

When we went by the stage to get ready, a blonde apparently finished the announcement, and it was openly provoking.

The knights flashed their faces, but went right into preparation without speaking up.

While I was feeling frustrated, I decided to flush it properly.

"You're a hater and perfectionist. I was just trying to figure out the best way to get to the end."

"What are you gonna do with it? You've already decided on the" potion "to announce, haven't you? I think we've decided how much you guys have raised."

I felt a little uncomfortable questioning Ginula.

It may be my overthought, because it is always the same to stroke my nerves. Maybe you wonder because it's up to you to decide.

But it was like Ginulla didn't know about the trouble that happened to us.

He really came back to me with a pure look of doubt.

White, before I thought, his expression didn't seem real to me why.

But Suey, standing next to me, didn't seem to think so.

"... Huh! How dare you!

"Hih!? Yes, what the hell?

Sui staring at Kiki Guinura.

Guinura was frightened when she remembered something painful about that look.

I'll pound my shoulder to keep Sui down and try and rock him.

"Actually, I'm having a little trouble. Well, one ingredient disappeared."

"... Huh?

I don't know.

Said Guinura, as if the dove had eaten a bean cannon, bewildered.

But change your expression even more from there.

When he blued his face abruptly, he exhaled a small, rough breath.

"... Oh no?

"... true. You know that too."

"... be!? I don't know anything! I don't know!

Guinura screams like she's in a hurry for my word and keeps going and throwing it away.

"And anyway, my 'potion' was perfect! You guys make sure you don't scratch this review at best!

And ran away as it was.

On that back, Sui said with a bitter look.

"... you're the killer."

"Sui. Maybe Guinura isn't the killer"

"Huh?"

To my words, Sui gave a flashy look.

Guinura must be the one with the strongest suspicions, but there is no evidence.

Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure you know something.

"Even if it's the killer, I don't think it's that easy to crack the 'Coantro' place in that way. We have to wait for Viola on the stage."

"... yeah. I know."

Me and Sui nodded at each other only once.

Whoever did this.

No matter what the ingredients are.

All I can do now is make room in my heart.

"Both of you. We're ready, so please confirm and announce."

It took a knight's word, and I made up my mind.

"Shall we go, 'Owner'?"

"... nice to meet you, 'Master'"

We just laughed a little when we said that, and then we went on stage.

I keep smiling at all times.

Because that's what bartenders need.
