It wasn't hard to find them. The footprints were faintly traced along the sandy beach, and I could use detection magic to pick up where they left off.

I went to the spot detected by my detection magic and found Latina and Leona sitting face to face near a large rock. As soon as I saw them, I opened my mouth in disbelief.

“...... What are you both doing here, what the hell?”

I couldn't help it. They weren't just drinking from the bottles they'd brought with them, they were blowing on them.

There were empty bottles lying around, and I couldn't even see anything but alcohol. I pressed my brows together. I hadn't even had a meal, just a drink.

“Off...... hiccup, Mira?”

Latina turned around with a helpless look on her face. Her eyes were glazed over, her tongue was so twisted she couldn't even pronounce the word, and her body was swaying as if it were a performance art piece.

I picked up one of the bottles lying around. Valentine 21 year old, 40 proof. The bottle next to it was of similar strength. And that one with Leona and Latina blowing on it.@@novelbin@@

They gulped down whatever they had in their hands, whether I was looking or not. It went from 2/3 full to empty in no time. I thought to myself, “Well, he can drink like that.

“This is confiscation.”

I took the bottle from his hand. Next, I organized all the empty bottles lying around and put them in one place, and the only one that hadn't been opened yet was soaked in seawater to keep it from getting hot on the sand.

I sat the two of them down on the sand. No matter how physically fit you are, crouching on rocks hurts.

“Will you give me a drink...... Miraaah...... Miraaah.......”

The two were sobbing, arms outstretched. I magically pressed their brows together to make them sit still and spoke.

“Don't drink. I'm afraid you're going to have a black eye if you drink any more.”

“There's healing magic, ahhh.......”

“You're right. You're that drunk even with healing magic?”

The more I looked at him, the more he seemed to be doing it. I put the bottles of liquor out of sight.

By my count, there were more than ten bottles. I stuck my tongue out. Between the two of us, I'm lucky I'm still conscious after drinking as much 40-proof alcohol as I did, and that's without food.

Once the alcohol was out of sight, I cast healing and dispel spells on the two, who quickly began to doze off. Incredibly strong magic, ranking just below Soul Purification in the hierarchy.

“......?”

“Eh......?”

As soon as the green and mint-colored light enveloped their bodies, their eyes lit up. Leona and Latina looked down at themselves, wide-eyed, and then up at me, blushing furiously.

“Mira-san?! How did you get here?!”

“You seem to be coming to your senses now.”

Under my cold stare, the two of them were at a loss for words. I crossed my arms.

“Start explaining. What happened, what did you drink, and why the hell did you disappear?”

Leona and Latina glanced at each other. I tapped my outstretched hand deliberately to make a clicking sound, and they both flinched at the same time.

“...... said we should do it.”

It was Latina who spoke first.
