Someone knocked on the door, and Gerald said, "Come in.", Lia then came in and said, "We're all done Mr. Gerald, we're ready to go.", "Good, let's go then.", they all walked down to the lobby, and headed towards the bar that the guild had reserved, they then walked in and sat down. Gerald then spoke up, "Well, now that the rewards have been distributed let's celebrate our victory! The first round is on the guild.", upon hearing this everyone started celebrating, and you could hear some people talking. "Our victory.", "Mister Gerald is the best.", "Miss Karin, come drink with us."

Gerald then said to Raja, Gen and Karin, "Well, why don't the four of us share a table.", Raja then said, "Unfortunately I can't Gerald. I've already arranged to sit with other people.", "Oh too bad.", a group of six young women then approached and one of them said, "Raja, come. You promised to tell us how you killed the grunar leader and saved everyone's lives. Well, see you later, if everything goes wrong.", the three of them looked in the direction Raja left in silence, until Gerald said, "Well, looks like it's just going to be the three of us then."

Karin then said, "I can't make it either." Gerald then asked, "You can't? But didn't we agree to drink together at the celebration?", "Indeed we did, but I think I'll drink with the guild people this time, but don't be sad, maybe without me here you won't find a woman from Tholis to drink with you.", Karin said with a smile, Gerald then said, "Karin, wait a minute.", but she ignored him and went towards the other side of the bar, and when Gerald saw this he paled.

Gerald and Gen then fell silent, and Dehji then said, 'Wow, that's a big deal.', 'Tell me about it.', Gen then said, "Hey Gerald...", "Oh, hey Gen, looks like it's just you and me then, hahaha...", "Yeah... .", the two then looked for a table in the corner and sat down, Gerald then called the waiter and said, "See me some snacks and two glasses of the strongest drink in the house", "Coming right up!", Gen then said, "You ordered two glasses Gerald? Isn't it better to slow down?", "Hahaha, relax Gen, I didn't order the two glasses for myself", "No? Who's the other one for then?", "For you of course, you won't let me drink alone right? ..."

Gen then said, "Of course not.", "haha, that's what I thought.", Gen then thought, 'What have I gotten myself into ...', the drinks then arrived, and Gerald then said, as he lifted one of the mugs, "Saude!", "Saude ...", Gen said picking up the other mug and lifting it. Gerald then turned the mug over in his mouth, and drank all the drink in one go, right after that he bent his neck to the left, and closed one of his eyes as he shivered a little, and after a few seconds so it was back to normal, he gave two coughs and said, "Ahhh! That was great. Aren't you going to drink Gen?"

Gen then said, "Y-Yes, I was just getting ready.", "No need to get ready Gen. This kind of thing is best done at once.", "Got it .... Well, here I go.", Gen then brought the mug closer to himself, and took a sniff, and as he smelled it he turned his head away, gave a slight cough and started to blink, and then thought, 'I guess the waiter was wrong. He brought me a bottle of alcohol instead of my drink,' Gerald then said, 'Smells good, doesn't it?

Gen then lifted the mug from the table and brought it close to his mouth, Gerald then began to speak, "Drink, drink, drink.", the people at the surrounding tables then began to repeat what he was saying, "Drink, drink, drink.", Gen then looked around, and then at the glass, and then began to drink. He turned the mug over in his mouth and took it all at once like Gerald. Everyone around began to say, "That's it!", "Good boy.", and then he put the cup on the table and started coughing a lot, until after a while he could stop.

Gerald then said, "Hey, what do you think?", Gen then said, "It's good, it's just not my taste", and then thought, 'I'll show you what I think!', the snacks then arrived and they both started to eat. Gen then shook out the shirt he was wearing and said, "Wow, it's hot in here, isn't it?", "Well, it's a little hot.", "Just a little? I'm sweating here," said Gen rubbing his hand across his forehead, he then took a handkerchief from his pocket, and tied his hair into a small ponytail.

Gen then said, "Wow, much better, but who knew in. You and Karin.", "W-What are you talking about Gen?", "You know better. Now stop clowning around and tell me this story.", "Well, Karin and I have known each other for many years.", "Ahem.", "At first she was very cold to everyone around her, but as time went by she started to open up.", "Ahem.", "Then one day about two years ago, at a guild celebration, we drank a little more than we should have.", "Ahem. Buddy, see me two more of those snacks, and two more drinks, just the same.", "You got it."

Gerald then said, "Hey Gen, can you hear me? Then what happened? You took her home, and you did something that the schedule doesn't allow us to talk about, hahaha.", "No! We just kissed.", "Hm, I see, and after that.", "Well, after that day, we started to get a little together, but nothing ever happened again.", "In two years nothing happened?", "... No.", "Well, from her reaction I'd say she's still interested in you, but you have to take action."

Gerald then said, "I know, I've tried to ask her out a few times, but she usually has some excuse.", "Hmm ...", the snacks and drinks arrived, and he ate some snacks, and then turned his mug around again, drinking all the drink at once, and then he said, "Ahh! 'Cof Cof', why don't you try it now then.", "Now?", "Yeah.", "But she's mad at me.", "Relax, just get in there, and don't give her a chance to push you away.", "What do you mean?", "You have to be quick and direct, like an arrow going into her heart, Pah!", Gen said as he shot an invisible arrow.

Gerald then said, "That's .... That's right Gen, I'm going to do it, I'm going to go over there now.", "That's it, that's the attitude", "I'm going to go over there then. Let me have my drink first, I'm gonna need all the help I can get.", "Don't do it Gerald.", "Why Gen?", "You can't depend on drinking to achieve your goals.", "You're right Gen. I'm going in there then.", "Go on. Gerald then got up from the table and walked toward Karin, Gen then took the mug from him, and turned it over in his mouth.

Gen then said, "Hey Dehji.", 'Gen, you talked out of your head.', "oops.", 'Hey Dehji.', '... hi.', 'What do you think is going to happen, is he going to make it?', 'Maybe...', 'Ahh! I can't wait to see what happens.', '...', Gerald then arrived in front of Karin, and upon seeing him she asked, "What's up?", "Well, it's just that I wanted to... tell you ...", "Tell you what Gerald?", "That ...", "What?", "That I love you.", everyone in the bar was speechless, and Gen said, "What do you mean, I told him to ask her out, how did that turn into a declaration of love?"

Gen then said, "Hey Dehji, what do you think is going to happen, sera-", 'Gen. You're talking out of your head again.', 'Oh yeah.', 'Okay.', 'Gen, is everything okay with you? I've been finding you a little strange for a while now.', 'Fine.', 'Are you sure?', 'Yes Dehji, I'm fine. Now let's pay attention to them, it's not every day you see a confession in public.', Gen then started to eat the snacks on the table, 'Wow, the snacks are great. Hey buddy.", "Hi.", "Get me another drink please.", "Coming right up.", Dehji then said, 'Hey Gen, don't you think you better-', 'shhh! Dehji, I want to hear what they're saying, you'll be in the way if you keep talking.

Karin then said, "W-What?! Are you drunk?", "A little, but that's not why I'm saying I love you. I've had that feeling in me since that day ha do-", "Shut up! Why are you proposing now? We just had a fight.", "Well, I was talking to Gen, and he told me that I should take action, and that today would be a good day.", "... Got it.", Karin then went towards Gen, and upon arriving Gen complimented her, "Hi Karin, my congratulations, you must be very happy to have received that confession. Gerald really impressed me, it takes a lot of courage to do something like that. I even got my heart racing."

Karin ignored him, and advanced towards him, grabbing him by the shirt, and throwing him across the bar onto a table, which caused it to break.
