Akira: Phew… I’m glad we settled that case and returned from it safe and sound. I sure thought we were done for back there.
Arthur: Indeed! But wouldn’t you say it makes our moments of peace and the meals shared together all the more special?
Bartender: An’ here are the drinks you ordered. Enjoy!
Arthur: Thank you very much, we will!
I think that’s your drink, Master Sage—here.
Akira: Thank you, Arthur. ...Hm? They served you a stein? And that looks like beer too…
Arthur: Rest assured, it’s only lemonade—albeit particularly frothy. I asked the bartender to serve it this way.
Cain and Bradley often have their beers in steins as well, but there is something in their demeanour while they enjoy their drinks… That makes me itch a little bit to look as captivating as them.
Akira: Aha, I totally get you. It’s all in the confident gusto they chug their cups with that makes them look so cool, it’s like they own the place.
Arthur: Yes! So I, too, will try to stand up to the challenge and drain my drink the way they do.
Alright, here goes nothing!
(Arthur drinks his lemonade.)
Akira: Wow! Downed in one!
Arthur: Haaa, whew...!
Akira: Ah, um…
Arthur: …Master Sage? What’s the matter?
Akira: Um, Arthur, you… You have foam around your mouth.
Arthur: …!!
Haha, oops, you’re right. Thank you for telling me.
Akira: Well, colour me surprised, I didn’t expect you to be laughing it off! On the contrary, I thought you would be red as a tomato…
Arthur: I have no reason to, for I just checked off something else I aspired to achieve.
Cain also had foam around his mouth a few moments ago, remember? Wearing such a mustache myself makes me feel like I'm one of the adults!
