The end of the banquet and the meeting of the meeting

　The greeting offensive of each country ended, and while enjoying the various spectacles arranged by the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom, the sun began to set and the lights began to light up in the banquet hall. Actually, I heard about it beforehand, but it seems that the banquet really continues from morning till night.

"... amazing toughness."

"Nn, it's hard for me to relax in my room."

"It's unusual for it to be this long."

　Exhausted, we evacuated to a space separated by a screen in the corner of the banquet hall. After all, there are people who get tired like us in the middle of the long banquet. It seems that such a space is also prepared for those who said so.

"Is Grande okay?"

"Don't worry"

"I think you worry too much."

　Grande, who I'm worried about, still wants to eat a lot of things, so she's staying alone at the main venue. It was said that the people of the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom would welcome me, so I left it to them.

　The person himself said, "You're not a child, so there's no need to worry," so I sent him off, but after all, it's Grande... I'm worried that someone who doesn't know the situation will bump into Grande and do something outrageous. He was suspected to be a dragon, and the day when he said he would prove it or not and let out his breath, it was a catastrophe. No, even if you don't go to Breath, a mighty earth magic would be a catastrophe, and on the contrary, just swinging those sturdy claws and tails seriously would be a catastrophe.

　The claws and tail of those small but tough hands aren't just for show, but if you really wield them, it's nothing but a blow of a human-sized dragon. A blow of the claws can easily tear apart metal armor, let alone a human body, and a blow of the tail can easily break stone materials that have been strengthened with magic power. The lion's head that got entangled with me last time will show enough power to lightly crush my bones and make me dance in the air.

"Oh, I can't think of anything. What are you going to do from tomorrow?"

"Demon Extermination"

"Oh, what is it? A giant flying snake or a crocodile?"

"Flying Biter.

"So be"

　They pour sake into people's glasses every time they come to greet them. What would you do if you died from acute alcohol poisoning? Or rather, before I came to this world, I feel like I drank an amount that would have already knocked me down. Even if it's squeezed and withered, it'll come back to life, and even if its liver is poisoned by the basilisk, it's vitality will rise. Maybe I'm getting stronger with alcohol.

　While I was thinking about that, Grande came back with a huge plate full of food. Behind them are His Highness the Crown Prince with a wry smile on his face and the lizard maids who brought the gifts.

"I'm back"

"I brought a lot again."

"Heap"

"As expected, that amount is impossible."

"Even if I stay, Kosuke will take care of me, okay?"

　Saying that, Grande puts a plate on the table and sits between me and Dryada, who has moved her seat by herself, and starts eating the food on the platter with her hands. Fortunately, at the banquets of the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom, there are many dishes that can be eaten with hands without using spoons and forks, so even Grande can eat like this without any problems.

"Did I cause you any trouble?"

"It is an honor for us, the people of the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom, to take care of Grande-sama, so don't worry about it.

"Hmm? Did something happen?"

"One of the drunken guests got involved with Grande-sama.

"It would have been nice to let him know. Well, it's not good to go on a rampage and cause trouble for Kosuke, and there's nothing to be gained from torturing a drunken small fry. The place of celebration is bloody. It would be rude to defile it with offal."

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Grande-sama..."

　Prince Sindriel thanked Grande in a serious tone. If Grande goes berserk, she will inevitably end up in a catastrophe that goes far beyond the banquet, and she will be stingy with the National Foundation Day in many ways. It's going to be serious.

　But it's related to Grande, hey. A very good user--that's probably not a win if it's not a ferocious fighter like Melty. Sylphy is also said to be strong, but Stegoro, who doesn't use weapons on the boulder, is no match for Grande. It would be impossible for Sir Leonard and Ms. Zamil to fight without Mithril weapons. In that sense, I wonder if Aira, who can fight with magic without weapons, will do something about it. No, I don't think even Isla can do anything about Grande. If you prepare in advance and put it in a magical trap, you might be able to manage it somehow.

"If Grande will allow it, I won't say anything in particular."

"I was a little bit confused when I was called Chinchikurin.

　While saying that, I grabbed a piece of roasted meat that I didn't know what Grande was and put it in my mouth, and started mumbling it. It looks delicious, but I'm already full...

"Tolerant response, really painful"

"Don't worry about it. It's not that you're bad at it. It's a special banquet, so you should sit down and eat and drink. Since it's only the mistresses here, no one will complain. Don't say it."

　Saying that, Grande offered Crown Prince Sindriel a seat and a meal. HM? Around the time Grande tried to share a meal with Prince Sindriel, he seemed to have gotten along quite well. I also like Prince Sindriel's personality, so if Grande trusts him, maybe I can trust him.

"How about talking lightly about the plan to go to the Flyingbiter's nest. If it's like this, it won't happen right away tomorrow, so I'd like to make a plan early."

"Certainly. It may be unfashionable for a drinking party, but I think it would be better to leave it that way later."

"Let's discuss the details again when we're sober, and let's just decide when to discuss it soberly."

　After all, I don't think it's a good idea to carry out a strategy that you thought up with a drunken head. For the time being, let's set up a place for discussion after tomorrow afternoon. I need to tell Ted and the others to attend as well.
