Banquet
(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)
“Cheers!” (??)
At the same time when Casablanca and Rudolf raised a toast in the royal palace of Laplace, Even in the Kali Kingdom where Rudolf was absent, ministers and generals were holding a banquet.
“A toast! We repelled the invaders!” (??)
Because the king was absent, there were quite a few who went too far. And, this sense of liberation was not limited to just the high officials.
This one week, in the royal capital of Kali, a grand victory festival had been held. A large amount of alcohol was consumed, and from daytime fights broke out here and there,
drunks chased women around, and it was a chaotic state.
“Hey, the alcohol has run out! Bring new alcohol!” (??)
“Yes. Right away.” (??)
The lower-ranking officials were extremely busy taking care of the banquet that had continued for many days. However, because of the banquet lasting day after day and night after night, All the barrels of alcohol in the royal capital had become empty.
“Did you say the alcohol ran out~!?” (??)
“Excuse me.” (??)
While the drunk general was shouting at the official with smelly breath,
a merchant group of about ten people arrived.
“Hey, who let merchants into the royal palace?” (??)
In place of the official, the merchants themselves answered.
“It seems the guards are all out enjoying the town festival. Since no one responded, we let ourselves in.” (Merchant)
“Good grief. It can’t be helped. Lord Rudolf will be furious when he returns.” (Unnamed)
“Now now, general. Today is a special banquet to celebrate victory. Isn’t it fine just for today?” (Minister)
“Even if you say just today, minister, we’ve been drinking like this for about a week now.” (General)
““Hah hah hah hah!”” (Attendees)
All the attendees were nicely drunk.
With the elation of having repelled the invading Tyr and the sense of freedom from King Rudolf’s absence, they had been wildly celebrating every night, so it was no wonder that things had gotten so disorderly.
“Merchant. Do you have alcohol? Because the banquet has lasted a week, we’ve run out of alcohol.” (Minister)
In response to the minister’s request, the merchant nodded with a full smile.
“Of course. Right here, barrels of alcohol, look!” (Merchant)
“Oh! Then I’ll buy all this alcohol.” (Minister)
“Thank you very much.” (Merchant)
At that moment, another high official arrived. He was quite drunk and couldn’t even speak clearly.
“Aaahn? You guys are merchants from the Warden Company!” (High Official)
At those words, the merchants shook their heads vigorously.
“N-no such thing. We have absolutely no relation with the Warden Company.” (Merchant)
“To deny it so much makes you all the more suspicious! The Warden Company gets treated like this!” (High Official)
The high official began laughing and started striking the merchant with his cane. Far from stopping him, the people around cheered him on.
“Please help us. We are certainly not from the company.” (Merchant)
“What did you say? Then that means we have to pay for the alcohol.
If you were from the Warden Company, we could just strip you and throw you out.” (High Official)
At those words, the surrounding people burst into laughter.
“Ha ha… That’s a funny joke.” (Merchant)
The merchant also gave a troubled faint smile.
“Now now, here is the new alcohol. Please. Come on, please. You too, dear official.” (Merchant)
Then, the merchants transferred the alcohol from the barrels to containers, and with practiced hands, skillfully poured drinks for the attendees.
“Now that new alcohol has arrived, let us raise a toast once again.” (General)
“Ohhh!” (Attendees)
The attendees, fully in high spirits, behaved in a cheerful mood.
“To the continued prosperity of our Kali Kingdom!” (Minister)
“Cheers!” (All)
And everyone drained their drinks in one go.
“Hmm? It’s delicious.” (??)
“Give me another cup.” (??)
“It’s easy to drink, and the smell isn’t strong. I’ve never had alcohol like this.” (??)
The people were surprised by the kind of alcohol they had never tasted before, and one after another requested refills.
“Thank you very much.” (Merchant)
Hearing that it was delicious, the merchants smiled as they went around pouring refills.
“This is quite a good drink. Where is this alcohol from?” (Minister)
One of the ministers asked.
“This alcohol is…” (Merchant)
“Goff!!” (Minister)
Suddenly, that minister vomited blood.
“My apologies for the late introduction. This is alcohol from Mikanda.” (Merchant)
In his rapidly fading consciousness, the last thing he heard was the merchant’s words.
