Private Room,

“Humph! Erick-Kun, I am not afraid of your challenge.” Christine Camilo said with a pouting face seeing the teasing look on Erick Dahl’s face.

“Okay, don’t just go back on your words after losing the challenge,” Erick said with a smile and a wink toward Aashi.

“Aisa-chan, help your sis here, they are bullying me!” Christine looked at Aisa Hironaka and asked for her help by making a pitiful expression.

“No way, you accepted the challenge so you have to pay, what’s that got to do with me,” Aisa replied offhandedly and shook her head with a playful smirk hidden behind her hand which was covering her mouth a little.

“Ohh common! Christine-san, you don’t have to do that if you are not confident about it.” Aashi said with hidden meaning making it obvious for anyone to guess she is not taking Christine’s challenge seriously.

“Christine, I think you have been underestimated so why not show the newbies how the seniors drink.” Hana Eto said after she put the cup on the table after emptying its contents.

“Ummn! Christine-san, you don’t have to force yourself and it’s not good for your health.” Rin Hajiri felt worried for her boss and friend, so she advised her not to overdo it.

“Let’s do it, Aashi! Humph! I will not accept my defeat that easily.” Christine gave him a pouting glare then filled up the beer mug and called out to Aashi to start the challenge.

Everyone is drinking the beer but Erick can only drink juice, how sad is that? And because of his good image in front of these milf onee-san’s, he can’t just say that even if he drinks every alcohol in the world he still won’t get drunk because of his origin physics.

His body filters out everything harmful to him, if he wants to then he can even filter almost anything from his body like a deadly poison, harmful substances etc., and that’s what makes him immune to all kinds of things.

“Cheers! Gulp...gulp...gulp!!!” Both Aashi and Christine took their mug filled with beer and after cheering, they both gulped down the bear in a few breaths.

“Haaaa! Ummn! Great, this is good stuff.” Both put down the mug at the same time and smacked their lips after tasting the beer. Both were having the same thought ‘How sweet is it?’

“Common go on, don’t stop now!” Seeing that Christine and Aashi started to enjoy the aftertaste of the drink, he urged them to continue with the challenge.

They both glared at him but continued, after they filled their mug, again they drank it in a few gulps.

As they continued to drink one beer bottle after another, like this, they drank dozens of bottles in half an hour.

Aashi looks fine as if she hadn’t drank any beer at all but Christine is already out cold with a flushed face and she’s already resting her head on the table, feeling very dizzy.

Aisa, Hana and Rin didn’t participate in this challenge and they drank at their own pace and enjoyed the taste slowly.

“Looks like we have a winner, Christine-nee, we will talk about the bet after you sober up tomorrow.” Erick looks at Christine and Aashi, even if he knew beforehand the result but he is surprised that Christine-nee has so much tolerance for alcohol. Well, she is a capable woman so this much is expected from her.

“Well! It’s the first time I’ve seen Christine like this! It’s always her opponent who would knock out before her, hahahah!” Hana has a surprised expression on her face looking at Christine out cold on the table then remembering her friend’s proud face she laughed out and felt she had something to tease her with.

Hana wasn’t the only one but Aisa and Rin were also surprised to see their friend losing in an alcohol drinking session.

“Wow! Aashi, I never would have expected you to be a heavy drinker. But seriously, you are so cool, making my boss reach such a state.” Rin Hajiri expressed her astonishment to Aashi with the stars sparkling in her eyes. She felt like she got another lease over her boss and friend.

Then Erick felt that it was about time they had something to eat and he already asked his parents to prepare something special for his friends.

“I never knew that your parents own a restaurant and even have so many great delicacies, I love it.” Hana voices out looking at the table which had only two kinds of food on it and they had a very appetizing smell and they even looked like they were glittering.

“Hmmn, Hana-san is right, I never thought your parents had a talent for making world-class food, hahaha! Now that I have tested these dishes, then my taste buds might become addicted to them.” Rin praised just after taking a bite and she reminisced about the taste which made her remember her grandmother cooking so laughed a little to hide her sadness as her grandmother has passed a few years and she loved her very much.

Except for Christine who was out cold, everyone liked the dinner very much and a total of two dishes were served to them, The kimchi soup, and curry rice.

Kimchi-jjigae or kimchi stew is a jjigae, or stew-like Korean dish, made with kimchi and other ingredients, such as pork or seafood, scallions, onions, and diced dubu. It is one of the most common stews in Korean cuisine.

Rice and curry are popular dishes in Sri Lanka, as well as in the Indian Subcontinent. Rice and curry dinner comprises the following: A large bowl of rice, most often boiled, but frequently fried. Sometimes kiribath, rice cooked in coconut milk, is served. A vegetable curry, perhaps of green beans, jackfruit or leeks.

Erick has chosen to serve these in the restaurant for a very good reason and also because he liked these two very much.

Kimchi soup and curry rice, the method of making them is very simple and with just a little change in the method, you can make the dish taste different so customers never get bored of them as they can order the same dish with different taste.

“Okay, everyone, now that you have filled your stomach we should depart to our home and I might have to send Christine-nee to her apartment so don’t worry about her and Rin-nee, you should go with Aisa-nee as she would drop you off at your destination.” Erick felt that it was getting late so he dismissed everyone and picked Christine-nee in a princess carry then remembering Rin-nee came with Christine so he advised her to go with Aisa as she came alone in Christine’s car so she would drop her off.

“Bye, everyone, take care on the way and don’t forget to message me, Okay!” Aashi stood up seeing Erick get ready to go home then she bid her farewell to her friends and reminded them to inform her when they reached their homes as she is worried about their safety.

“You too, Aashi! Take care.” Aisa, Hana and Rin replied to Aashi.

They departed from there together and separated at the entrance and went on their way.
