Volume 7 Chapter 364 - Otherworldy Drinks

Thanks to that empty vial and Loki's confirmation of truth, they can now be sure that Kisuke Urahara is the guy who could supposedly help Ais's condition and tell Riveria more about the magic she didn't know existed.

Kisuke's statement passed through Loki's test because he indeed told the truth. He received the Elixir from Gareth, which he considers an acquaintance and everyone from them didn't even consider the possibility that Kisuke is the mysterious man himself… except for one which is Loki herself. She's the sole individual who didn't drop this possibility, however, she also didn't have any evidence or anything that could support that possibility so she didn't tell it to everyone. But for her, the suspicion is enough to be on guard.

'It's really hard to trick a God… And it's the Goddess of Mischief on top of that… Well, I should be happy that she didn't point out the obvious flaw.' Kisuke thought after feeling Loki's stare and keeping the empty vial.

During this time, Tiona, the petite Amazoness, started interviewing the trio with a jolly attitude, "Hey… Sona, Aika, and Shirone, was it? How did you do that?" Of course, she's referring to the time they fought the Minotaurs. And since Tiona didn't have any motives in asking that question aside from genuine curiosity, the trio didn't mind it.

And aside from the executives and Line, everyone knew that the three of them defeated two Minotaurs which Sona, Aika, and Koneko has to be mindful of when they answer.

"How you say… We just followed the saying, 'Desperate situations call for desperate measures.' We had to stake everything just to defeat those and we're lucky enough to pull it off and getting out alive of that situation." Sona answered after thinking for a few seconds.

"Desperate situations call for desperate measures?" Those words didn't just attract Tiona, but everyone listening to it. After staying silent for a moment, Bete snorted, "Hmmph! That really sounds nice… But don't make it sound like everyone can see through it!"

The three already know how this mutt runs his mouth and decided beforehand to just ignore him as they didn't even look at him which in turn, infuriated Bete, but he can't say anything about that, "Hmmph!"

Smiling wryly, Tiona continued asking and this time, her question is directed to Aika, "How about you? Why did you think that you could use your own bone as a weapon?"

But thanks to that question, she got a smack at the back of her head from her twin sister, "What the hell are you asking!? Can't you see we're eating!?" Although both Amazoness is fine with this topic to be discussed over a meal, it's not the same for everyone, especially the Elves who're now making a pale face as they already heard the story of Aika ripping off her own arm to use it as a temporary dagger.

And as if not understanding the situation, Aika answered normally, "I mean, what choice do I have back then? A broken fist, or a sharp bone? I think we both know which is better."

"I'm convinced…" Tiona muttered.

"Alright! Stop that topic, the food is coming." Yoruichi interrupted them and received the food from Syr and the Elf waitress named Ryuu.

During the meal, Riveria would keep sounding out Kisuke for what he knows about magic and Ais' condition indirectly while Kisuke would only give answers that would add more fuel to her curiosity which would look like he's doing it in purpose which he is.

And also during that time, Loki and Hestia competed to who can drink more and no one could stop them. And it's not like they'll die from intoxication or poisoning as they're bodies automatically cleanse all the substances that enter it.

Another reason why Loki tried to compete with Hestia is to ask her some questions regarding Kisuke and the rest. Although Hestia isn't very good at keeping a straight face, and would always reveal how she's feeling on her expressions, she knew how to keep secrets and no one could pry it from her mouth even intoxicated. Loki already knew that much as she knew Hestia from way before but it doesn't really hurt trying.

They finished their meals with Kisuke's group satisfied while Riveria is becoming increasingly frustrated. Even Lefiya, who looks up to her as her teacher felt incredulous as she can read her mood which she isn't even very good at.

As Finn and Gareth decided to leave this they could only to the increasingly pouty Riveria. At this moment, Riveria herself is very tempted to drink alcohol which she doesn't like to drown her frustration.

But just in time, Syr came with the empty glasses that Kisuke requested after their meal, "Kisuke-san, here are the glasses that you requested~." She then left without asking for their share as that would be rude.

Kisuke then stood up and brought up the wooden jar on the table and attaching the two mechanical levers on top of it to serve as the pump. The wooden jar is divided in the middle so there are two types of drinks that Kisuke prepared that should also serve as dessert.

Everyone stopped talking and curiously looked towards the jar. Although they aren't interested in the drink itself, the strange device attracted their attention.

Without minding them, Kisuke asked Yoruichi first, "Strawberry Colada Smoothie or Frosted Lemonade?"

"Frosted Lemonade~." She answered.

Due to the strange choices, however, some became interested in the drink itself.

Ignoring them, Kisuke picked up one glass and placed it under the nozzle before pumping the lever. What came out is a milky-white foamy drink with a sweet and citrus scent, "Here you go~." He then placed it in front of Yoruichi and gave her a metal straw that he already prepared earlier.

Yoruichi happily grabbed her glass and took a sip on it, "Great~. Just what I needed~. However… It's not very cold any more." She then faced a certain individual, "Sona-chan, please~."

Sona nodded and pointed at her Frosted Lemonade, "I'll get Strawberry Colada Smoothie." As she stated her request, a magic circle appeared on top of Yoruichi's glass and instantly chilled the drink.

"Thanks~."

As someone who's an aspiring mage, and witnessing it for the first time, Lefiya asked the High-Elf, "Riveria-sama… Her chant or magic activation is weird. Why is that?"

"…That's not a chant."

"Huh?"

While confused, the rest of the girls also asked for their own drinks and Sona chilled them all which confused Lefiya even further, "Continuous activation after a single chant?" She couldn't consider the possibility that Sona didn't need a chant at all.

"What about you four?" Kisuke asked the four girls who requested the non-alcoholic drink.

"We'll get the Frosted Lemonade." Riveria answered for all of them. And since there are no rejections, he served them their drinks, "Thank you."

"Do you want it chilled?" Sona offered.

"Please…" Riveria didn't remove her hand on the glass as she wanted to feel and see the magic circle closer and the instant it appeared, she immediately tried to memorize it. However, of all the magic circle she had seen, not a single one of them even remotely resembles Sona's magic circle.

"Could it be that she didn't need to chant?" Lefiya finally discovered the truth and looked towards Sona, "H-how?"

However, the latter only smiled at her and didn't answer her question.

Since she couldn't find any clues regarding her magic circle, Riveria became even more frustrated that she's no regretting attending this celebration party. But as she sips on her Frosted Lemonade, her eyes opened widely and looked at it, "T-this is!?"

This is the first time she lost her composure over a drink which shocked everyone.
