CHAPTER 59 – THE MISSING DAY: INOUE MAI

Maeda-san is such a timid person. Although our first meeting was quite chaotic, after talking a bit with her, I realized she really didn’t like standing out and preferred to let others shine before her. That is a total shame, since a girl needs to stand out to catch a great guy. That is why I decided to make her the main attraction tonight. I won’t let her slip away; it is, after all, her celebratory party.

I dragged her to my room and thanks to my Magic Bag of Vanity, I can access any makeup I want. With that, I can make her stunning. She is already cute enough, aside from her ugly scar, but after I was done, even that didn’t matter. Add on a cute dress and you have a tiny diva. Now, she just needs to change her attitude a bit to pull it off perfectly.

It was a fine night for everyone and they were all enjoying the merry atmosphere. All the heroes were finally able to meet Maeda-san. Even her friends that came with her got along with the rest of us nicely, but to think she was acquainted with that famous party so well, came as a shock to me.

However, everything went downhill once Nord-san asked for a rematch.

“Naoko Queen I want a rematch.”

His loud voice spread through the room and instantly caused a commotion. I was already aware of Maeda-san’s title ‘Queen’ as the best drinker among adventurers, but others were not.

Nord-san used to be the King before he lost to Maeda-san. What I didn’t expect was the
huge reaction that came from others realizing this.

“The Queen? That brat is the Queen?”

“A rematch? When did Nord lose? Also can he claim it back?”

“I want in!”

Everyone present at the guild was pretty much interested in this match. Maeda-san looked a bit uncomfortable. In fact, she hasn’t been drinking any alcohol all this time. She was probably planning on denying the rematch but Hii-kun decided to accept on her behalf.

“Nao-chan accepts, but I wonder if you would allow me to participate as well. I am not an official adventurer, but way back before I could best her at drinking.”

“Hoo, a lad is brave. Then, let’s make this an open round. Looks like there be more interested people as well.”

“Hey don’t go deciding things on my behalf Hii-chan. Besides, if I get drunk, things will turn ugly for all of you. I don’t want to be responsible.”

Honestly speaking, I also wanted to try and see if I can go against Maeda-san. No matter
how you look, she doesn’t look like someone that can drink more than a cup of anything. Besides, I was known to be able to hold my liquor. The only person that opposed this plan was Dai-kun. He only looked pale as all the heroes expressed their wish to compete.

“Lassie I heard yer buy in is ten gold, we go with that. Everyone here that wants to challenge the Queen it’s open round. You must pay ten gold to participate, every ten rounds we redistribute the pool of gold. You can withdraw at that time as well, but you lose.”

“Huzzah!”

“I’m in, no way I’m losin’ to a kid.”

“The title is mine.”

Soon over a hundred people have arranged the tables and prepared the money. I was excited about this competition as I sat down next to Hii-kun. Since Maeda-san and Nord-san were the main competitors for this they were seated opposite each other.

The bartender was extremely happy about this turn of events and immediately took on the role of the referee with several other waiters to watch out for any kind of mischief going on.

Oddly enough, this seemed all too well organized for a sudden drinking bout of this size.

The first bell rang and the round began. Then another, and another. I realized that I was in too deep. Fourth round, fifth one, sixth one and by the seventh I was already completely dizzy.

“Weaklings, you’ll never have a chance to l beat me when you are already acting like this after a mere amount of alcohol. Fools dreaming of taking me, the Queen, on!”

There it is… Maeda-san changed her personality. Her demeanor is now of the same girl that kissed me on our first meeting. She can finally wear that dress perfectly. I knew I chose right. But to call me weak like that, I won’t tolerate it! And I wasn’t the only one that thought that way.

“Mai-san don’t fall for her provocation. That woman is a demon when drinking, give up on the tenth round. Trust me you don’t want to continue.”

Dai-kun, what are you talking about? I wanted to complain but he had already gone to try to talk out the rest of the heroes out of drinking. After the ninth round I was grateful he stopped me and cooled my head. On the tenth round, I backed away and gained two more gold. However, most of the contestants did not stop here.

“Lassie yer sure full of sprite… but I ain’t goin’ down tonight.”

“Hmph… you wish.”

Soon, people began dropping like flies. Many were provoked earlier and continued to drink only to give up or pass out by the fifteenth round. Most were forced out of the game because they ended up puking, so by the twentieth round less than a dozen remained out of original hundred or so. Also, none of the heroes remained.

“It seems some people actually have guts, I see. Very well, I shall take you seriously. Come and beat me if you can. We can even make things more interesting and up the odds if you gentleman can afford it.”

“Don’t talk big, little missy. How about we do ten gold per round no stoppin’ till droppin’. I’m surprised you can fit all l those drinks in that body of yours.”

“Oh, I’m so in. If you can’t pay later, I will accept items of equal value. Let’s drink, this Queen is nowhere near full.”

Maeda-san please, no more. You can’t keep on drinking or you will overdose. I wanted to shout but I couldn’t because I actually felt like puking. Holding onto Hii-kun I left the building for some fresh air and to calm down.

“Mai-chan I’m sorry for acting like such a fool. Next time make sure I don’t do anything as stupid as this.”

“I won’t be doing anything like this again either. Maeda-san is a true monster. I couldn’t have imagined she can actually drink this much. I lost to her today, but I won’t lose later on.”

I puffed my chest and stood on tiptoes to kiss my Hii-kun. At least I have a better boyfriend.
