"What can you do? There's hardly any food left."

It seemed most of the food had been taken by the lords, as there was little left in the mansion.
However, there was a large stock of alcohol, starting with the local specialty, a sweet wine called Ope, so the group was enjoying a modest banquet.

"Well, can't do anything about what we don't have..."
"It was fortunate the alcohol was left behind. They probably don't have much trouble finding drinking water around here, so maybe that's why they left it."

"S-Still, I managed to make do with what we had, so it should be more than decent, right!? Here, try this Tamana with some salt."
The large man retorted in a deep, booming voice that matched his appearance. It was a little loud for Coai's ears.

"Just when you've fully savored the flavor that bursts forth with every chew and the bitterness that seeps into your tongue..."

His face, which had been relaxed as he chewed and savored the thing called Tamana, suddenly tensed.
"You take a quick swig of this!"

"Kuaah... Delicious! As expected of a fine wine!!"

"...See?"
The man turned to her with a huge grin, but...

"Sorry, I don't get it."
"Mmm..."
"Don't you think we could do without the bitter part at the beginning?"
