"Do you want a refill, esteemed devil merchant? " Gol Kin's pixie asked Gol Kin, seeing his empty glass. Gol Kin grudgingly looked at his pixie, tightening his grip on the glass. If not for the glass being a spirit item, it might have shattered under the pressure. 

"Refill," listening to the dwarf order his tenth refill, colors drained from Gol Kin's intoxicated face. Then he looked at the young chaos dwarf in disbelief as the dwarf had ordered two refills more than him, yet he appeared as sober as when they met. 

No matter how much Spirit Mushroom Dew the dwarf drank, he did not show signs of being drunk, while Gol Kin was shit-faced. The devil found it hard to believe that he could not keep up with a demon master. Not willing to be outdone by a junior, Gol Kin bravery nodded at his pixie and ordered, "Refill." 

"Okay," Gol Kin's pixie instantaneously refilled the Gol Kin glass with spirit mushroom due. However, Gol Kin did not immediately rather hesitate. 

'Dumbass, he is a chaos dwarf. Their toddlers prefer liquor over breast milk. Only an idiot would be foolish enough to compete with them in a drinking match. Just give up while you are still sober,' Belphegor ordered Gol Kin to end his foolish notion of competing with a chaos dwarf in a drinking match using an encrypted soul whisper.

'Chaos dwarf or not, he is a demon master. How can I, a devil, be defeated by a demon master?' Gol Kin was unwilling to admit his defeat against the dwarf. He would rather die than become a joke who lost to a demon master in a drinking game. 

'You—. Fool, continue at your own risk but I advise you if you back down now your defeat will be graceful. So, stop before you throw up and disgrace yourself,' for someone who took his pride seriously, Belphegor did not seem to respect or care to understand his underlings pride. If he did then he would not have said, 'If you back down now your defeat will be graceful,' to his loyal subordinate of all people. Belphegor, himself, should no better there was no gracefulness in defeat, a defeat was a defeat just that nothing more nothing less. 

Gol Kin ignored Belphegor and drank the refilled glass of spirit mushroom dew in a single gulp. He respected Belphegor and would lay his life for the faction but as a strong and prideful devil, some things he could not let go of for anybody be it his boss or the faction. He had to do this for himself. 

*Hiccup* emptying his glass, Gol Kin let out a hiccup. Showing that he was drunk drunk. 

"R-refill *hiccup*" Gol Kin stutteringly ordered his pixie to refill his glass. His pixie complying with his orders snapped his fingers refilling his glass with spirit mushroom dew. 

Seeing Gol Kin was not able to keep a straight face or speak properly after his ninth glass of the spirit mushroom dew, Belphegor did not react but rather took a small sip from the spirit beer he had ordered when he arrived. While the dwarf and Gol Kin drank a couple jugs of spirit beer and a few glasses of spirit mushroom dew, Belphegor's initial order of spirit beer was almost half empty. He did not let himself get swept in his subordinate's competitive spirit. To quote his words, 'Only an idiot would be foolish enough to compete with chaos dwarf in a drinking match'

"Refill," Ezra ordered another refill. This was his eleventh refill of Spirit Mushroom Dew. The dew's intoxication effect was strong, but Ezra's spiritual body was stronger. Comparable to that of a newborn celestial body, thanks to Dredre's pixie dust. So, Ezra could drink another 10 glasses of this spirit mushroom dew and remain unaffected by its intoxication effect. Not to mention he hadn't mobilized his mutant consciousness. Therefore, despite being a devil, Gol Kin did not stand a chance against Ezra in a drinking game. 

Ezra was happy to notice that his plan to use the most common stereotypes about Chaos Dwarf in his act was panning out. From the changes in Belphegor's spiritual body's subtle micro-expressions, it was apparent that he seemed to really believe that his opponent was indeed a chaos dwarf. 

Belphegor did not seem to doubt Ezra's identity as a chaos dwarf in the first place but it was important for Wyatt to establish a strong perception in Belphegor that he was a chaos dwarf. Such that if anyone were to ask Ezra to prove he was a chaos dwarf, Belphegor would vouch that Ezra was indeed a chaos dwarf. 

This was very important for the negotiation between Ezra and Belphegor. Because what Ezra planned to ask of Belphegor was not something a chaos dwarf would ask. So it might cause Belphegor or his henchmen to doubt if Erza was really a chaos dwarf. Once such a doubt arises, it could soon grow into a suspicion that took down Ezra's entire act. Therefore it was important for Ezra to establish that falsifying his name was the only lie he told. 

Listening to the dwarf ask for another refill, shit-faced Gol Kin trembled holding a glass of spirit mushroom dew. The word refill seemed to have become his worst nightmare. However, he still forced himself to empty the glass of spirit mushroom dew in his hand. Reaching the middle of the glass, Gol Kin's spiritual body decipated from the Exec. VVIP member box and his glass fell to the floor. 

With a snap of his fingers, Gol Kin's pixie cleaned Gol Kin's mess and excused himself. Since Gol Kin was no longer here, his work here was done. 

"My subordinate has always been a lightweight. Please excuse his lack of manners" Belphegor gracefully apologized in place of Gol Kin.
