The drunk Ester

[Yeah, you were cringe, hahaha.]

-...-

Ester felt happy getting complimented by Vincent. Furthermore, not hearing negative or hateful comments helped in boosting her confidence. 

Ester was feeling like a changed woman after mustering her courage to dance and wishing not to be called horrible words such as freak or monster. 

Ester felt too shy to look around her and meet with the eyes of many looking at her. She grabbed the pitcher of beer and took a sip.

"Haha." Vincent laughed when he saw Ester contort her face from the sour taste of beer. "Now I want to see you drunk, haha."

Time passed, and most of the adventurers left. However, not all the large mugs with beer on their table were consumed. 

Vincent stopped after two while Ester drank one with difficulty and fell asleep on the table.
