Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 87

 "Ouch... my head hurts..."

Yes, yes, I understand.

"It's not my stomach... it's my head..."

Mm-hmm.

"Lady... to cure a hangover, it's the liver..."

"Is that so... it's strange..."

Seriana and Elena murmured softly, barely able to speak, lying down together on the bed.

In this country, there's no strict drinking age; it's left to individual discretion. While they might have a drink or two during meals, they never drink enough to get a hangover.

I'm a little curious about what happened, but first, I need to help them recover.

"How's it going? Do you feel a bit better?"

I've laid them on the bed and am sitting between them, activating "Prayer" while applying "Miracle's Blessing" to their abdomens. It should boost their healing abilities, and "Prayer" should have its effect too. As for "Miracle's Blessing," I'm not sure, but it feels like it might help, so I'm using it... Well, it shouldn't do any harm.

"Yes... the nausea seems to be subsiding..."

They sounded like they were half-dead just a moment ago, but their voices are sounding a bit better now.

"Well, that's something. I'll keep it up then."

◇

"Did you enjoy yourself yesterday?"

I'm not sure which one worked, but after an hour of treatment, both of them have successfully recovered. They can handle soup at least, so they've had a light meal and are currently drinking tea.

"Yeah, it was quite fun. Oh, and here's a souvenir."

I hand them the sculpture that was placed by the bedside.

"Oh, thank you. A dragon and a wolf, huh?"

Seriana says her thanks as she takes the dragon.

"This scent is from Esta, isn't it? I didn't know they made such things."

Esta? What's that?

"It seems like you didn't know... It's a type of wood used in high-end furniture. The furniture in my room back home is made from it."

She says while bringing it close to her nose.

There's a faint mint-like refreshing scent.

I didn't notice it before because I didn't bother to smell it, but is it some kind of aromatic wood?

"It also has insect repellent properties. They probably used scraps from making furniture. It's not bad at all."

She says with a sense of authority as if she's praising me.

Yeah, well, it's not what I expected, but if she likes it, then that's fine.

But more importantly...

"Setting me aside, was there something that happened yesterday? It's the first time I've seen you get that drunk."

"Do you remember Lady Elisha's fiancé?"

"Was it Edgar?"

Wasn't he from that powerful southern naval duke's family?

"Yes, that's the one. There was a woman trying to meddle in his affairs... Hehehe."

She reminisces with a wicked smile.

She's really playing the villain, huh...?

"Two of her supporters were among those executed this time. I heard they were behaving quite arrogantly... Hahaha."

So they were acting all high and mighty?

I can kind of imagine the scene.

But still...

When I glance at Elena, she also seems pleased, smiling softly.

While commoners might not care much, it seems like the nobles in this country generally dislike the west...

"The supporters from the empire and the other backers probably didn't want to stir up trouble, hence why it was so quiet during the pre-festival banquet."

"...They used the 'Scarlet Bee's Stinger' for the execution, right? Did anything happen?"

"No, nothing happened. They were all confirmed guilty, so just stepping on them was enough. But I wonder how exactly it works?"

"...Yeah, good point."

Hmm... So the execution and getting drunk didn't have any connection.

From the looks of it, she was gleefully stepping on them.

"Well, that doesn't matter now. We left early and had tea in Lady Elisha's room. Lizel and Mr. Edgar also joined us, it was quite enjoyable. Right, Elena?"

"Yes. We got to hear about things from other continents that we wouldn't normally hear about, and we also got to try some rare alcohol."

They laugh together.

Ah... So they were having a drinking party, huh...
