The west district of Earthbury. It was where the rich and the high ranked of the population lived. While with 1 Silver coin, an adult could live a for around 3 days, in this district, 10 Silver coin was nothing more than a children pocket money.

But from among of those people, dressed in fancy jewellery. From among them, there was several 'specialist', offering their 'services' to the government and nobles.

The sun still shone brightly, and in front of Osval, there was two person with rowdy appearance; muscles as hard as a steel could be glimpsed, sitting inside of his fancy mansion, discussing something.

"Clorevica the wood elf? Quin, let's just leave." Said the pointy-eared elf woman. Albeit an elf, she had a big muscular muscle on her arm.

"No, no, no. It's not for her, what I want is her two little puppies." Said Osval with a friendly smile.

"Do you mean those two new adventurers? The boy with a scar on his left arm and the shifter girl? what do you want from them?" Said, Quin, as his orange coloured full beard was moving up and down.

Osval poured another drink for them, "Does it matter? Since when do you guys care about that?"

"Hah, you get it wrong Mr Osval, what I mean is what do you 'want' from them?" Said Quin.

Osval speaking as he just realized something, "OH! Sorry, Sorry~ My bad, it's been a while since I used your service, well, you guys are the expert, I'll go with anything you say." Said Osval.

"Hmph, then let's go Ayda." Said Osval as both of he and Ayda left the mansion.

As Osval already poured the amber coloured liquid for them. "Geez~ is it gonna kill them to accompany me for a while?" Finishing the drink, Osval cheerfully hummed.

Later at night.

When they opened the door to the bar, they were met with the scent of alcohol and loud noises. A large majority of the room turned their gazes towards Clorevica. Hesitating on where to sit, Delice guided them to a counter seat.

"I’ll get your foods right away. Would you like a drink? Only the first cup is free, though. And what happened to your face Mio? Do you want a hot towel?" Asked Delice as she was curiously looking at Mio.

Clorevica training wasn't that hard and it was easy to remember, as a proof even before the sky turned orange Mio managed to throw her boomerang to her designated target, though the problem was she couldn't catch the boomerang. And thanks to her bad luck, the boomerang always landed right on her face.

"E..ehehe...thanks... umm... what kind of drink do you have?" Asked Mio. Since she just realized that she was the only one that never tried an alcohol, she wanted to try some.

"Beer, wine, and mead, alcohol is only free for the first cup, though. Tea and milk are free afterwards." Said Delice as she listed the drinks.

"I'll have beer." Said Yuu, ordering the drink he had tasted before.

"No ale? then Mead." Said Clorevica.

Unsure of what she could get, Mio chose the different order from those two. "E..erm...Wine." Said Mio, looking smug.

"Eeh? Are you sure Mio? You don't seem to be the type that drinks alcohol though." Said Delice, though she still brought the drinks for those three.

As Yuu drank the yellow coloured beer in a big wooden pitcher. "Man, this isn't bad."

Clorevica silently drank the white transparent mead in a wooden round glass.

And Mio, following Yuu drank the purple coloured wine in a small wooden chalice. "..Blegh..."

".....Mio, don't drink wine like that." Said Clorevica as she blankly stared at Mio.

"Wah~ Mio really is a strong drinker." Said Delice as she was staring at Mio full of amazement.

And then, as if on cue, three burly adventurers staring at them, or more like to the three girls, as Yuu noticed they were the only woman inside of this bar.

Then they waddled to them.

"Oi, oi, oi, oi, young man, aren't you a little bit too greedy over here?"

"That's right~ shouldn't you share a little bit with us?"

"Hey missus~ Delice~ why don't you playing with us?"

Thinking that a beer would be completed with a cigarette, "Ah, I don't mind." Yuu walked away, letting the three-man taking his position as he began to burn his cigarette.

"Oi!!!!"

But someone was yelling at him. It was loud enough to make the whole bar turned their faces to them. Moreover, it was a girly voice.

"What do you think you are doing?! *Hic* suddenly leaving us like that!!"

It was Mio, already drunk as her face turned bright red.

Yuu's jaw was wide open, dropping the cigarette he already put into his mouth when she saw her.

"What's up with that attitude?! *Hic* And aren't you a little bit too young for smoking?!"

Somehow Yuu felt familiar with her last sentence.

"*Hic* Oi!! I'm talking to you!! *Hic* Aren't you supposedly protecting me?!"

As the whole bar became speechless while watching Mio spoke by herself. And Clorevica just gave a big grin.

"Erm.. miss, maybe you should chill out a little bit." Said one of the drunkards as they suddenly became sobber.

"*Hic* Chill out?! How can I chill out?! That guy already seeing me naked!!!" Mio said as she pointing her finger toward Yuu.

Then tears slowly fell from the corner of her eyes. "*Hiks* Now no one will marry me... *Hic* And he didn't even protect me from the drunkard?!"

Yuu was standing still, unsure of what he should do as everyone else was glaring at him. "....Mio, your drunk..." Said Yuu.

"*Hic* No! I'm not drunk! *Hic* Here! I'll show you! Shift: Arms (Tiger)" As a dice rolling on her side, her slender arms slowly turned into big muscular tiger arms.

Shifting her gaze and smiling at the three drunkards. "Wataaaa!!! *Hic*" She yelled as her paws connected to one of the drunkard's face, throwing him away for a few meters.

"John?! Oi I don't care whether or not you're a girl but that's too far!!" Said one of the drunkards as he charged to Mio.

Meanwhile, Yuu and Clorevica wanted to act, reducing the damage Mio had done.

"Wataaaa!!!" This time, with her hairy monkey's leg, although it was covered with her long leather pants, she kicked the one that charged at her. Three tooths were flying right out of his mouth. "Hey, hey Yuu~ Do you see that~? I can fight that mean I'm not drunk!! *Hic*"

Then, as she grinned to the last drunkard and slowly walked to him. "O..oi! You two! Help me!" Begged the drunkard to Yuu and Clorevica.

Though the luck was on that man side.

As the duration of her Shift: Legs (Monkey) over, in an instant, she sank to the floor. "Fuee~? What happened to my leg? .... Hey, Yuu.... W..why can't I move my leg?" Mio said as the tears began flowing on her cheek.

Don't call my name!! He thought in his mind. Though as he scratching his head, giving up on their dinner. Yuu silently walked toward her and carried her away. "....Sorry... I'll make sure not to give her another alcohol." He said as he bowed to the other guest, didn't want to get kicked out again.

While all of this happened, Delice was hiding under the bar, shivering. "...Alcohol is scary..."
