The bar in Night Fall Town is never empty, especially when the sun has just set in the summer.

Today, Simmon and I are not having Whidrum, we switched to a lower alcohol black beer. Just as we filled our glasses, Park walked in, bare-armed, and the show began.

Park looked around at the customers in the bar.

Simmon: "Hey, you're here pretty early today."

Park: "I've been busy since six in the morning, a whole day's work. How can I sleep well without a few drinks at night?"

Raul: "Then let's have some beer today."

Park: "Beer? Back in the day, I used to drink barrels of it!"

Simmon: "Hey, we haven't even brought you a glass yet, and you're already bragging?"

Park: "Simmon, if we're talking about age, I'm two years older than you. What do you say? Want to compare?"

Simmon: "That's why they call you old, with only a few strands of hair left on your head."

Raul: "Wait, Park, you're older than Simmon?!"

Park: "Of course, what do you think? When I first met this guy, he used to hide from me!"

Simmon: "Oh, come on. It's because of your looks, who wouldn't hide from you?"

Raul: "It can't be that bad..."

Simmon: "You don't know. Back then, when Park was only twenty, he helped clean the chimney in our bar. After finishing, covered in black soot, he didn't even wash up. As soon as he walked out the front door, all the customers took out their guns. Guess what happened?"

Raul: "What happened?"

Simmon: "They thought some new breed of monster was born! Hahaha!"

Raul: "Hmm... I have to admit, if you were covered in black, it would be a bit scary."

Park: "Raul, when did you start wearing the same pants as him?"

Simmon: "Hey, let's have a drink. There were so many interesting things back then."

After five minutes of drinking, Wolfrang pushed open the door and leisurely walked to the counter.

Wolfrang: "You guys are all here today."

Park: "Of course, even Raul, the henpecked husband, is here. How could we not be all here?"

Raul: "Why do you call me a henpecked husband? Your wife is pregnant, don't you have to take care of her every day?"

Simmon: "Be careful with your words, only you have a wife among the four of us."

Park: "Yeah, according to you, we're all single dogs. Watch out, we might burn you up."

Raul: "Wait, Wolfrang isn't single, right?"

Wolfrang: "Me, can I be considered as having a wife? Leya and I, well, we're just friends."

Simmon: "Okay, okay, who are you trying to fool? I heard a long time ago that when you and Leya were riding in a carriage..."

Wolfrang covered Simmon's mouth, not letting him continue.

Raul: "Hey, hey, tell me, I didn't know about this."

Park: "What are you saying? The two of them have already made a lifetime commitment."

Wolfrang: "Park, why is your mouth as loose as the waistband of your pants? Too loose..."

Park: "Now, everyone in town except Raul and his wife knows about you two. What's the point of hiding anymore?"

Raul: "Alright, you two have made progress. I'm genuinely worried for you."

Wolfrang: "Why are you worried? I'm not worried."

Simmon: "Oh, come on, that day in the carriage, I don't know who was the one who let Leya sit on his lap."

Wolfrang: "That's because, because it was too crowded in the carriage!"

Park: "Just let her sit, I heard you even got handsy. Looks like I need to specially make a big carriage for you and Leya."

Wolfrang: "I, I didn't do anything!"

Raul: "Wolfrang, just go ahead and do it, no one will say anything to you."

Wolfrang: "No, Leya and I, it just wouldn't work."

Simmon: "Who wouldn't work? You or Leya?"

Raul: "Damn, let's change the topic, our conversation is getting dirty..."

Park: "No worries, if we don't want to talk about it, we won't. We'll ask Leya when she arrives."

Twenty-one minutes into drinking, Leya enters elegantly, accompanied by Medusa.

Leya: "Raul, I brought your wife with me."

Sasha: "Husband, are you drunk?"

Raul: "Have you ever seen your husband drunk? I can drink three times more than them!"

Simmon: "Little brother, don't be too arrogant. Park and I used to drink by the wine barrels in the cellar."

Park: "Yeah, be careful not to drink too much or no one will help you to your grave~"

Wolfrang: "Back when I..."

Leya: "Wolfrang, we're not drinking with them."

Raul: "Leya, you're already protecting him even before getting married?"

Leya: "Raul, if you have a problem with that, I'll drink with you."

Sasha: "Husband, drink with them. If you can't handle it, you still have me."

Raul: "Alright, darling, watch me bring them all down."

Simmon: "Okay, since Raul said so, let's do it. Let's see who will still be standing in the end!"

Forty-five minutes into drinking, Gray enters the bar looking dapper, causing a stir among the crowd.

Gray: "Simmon, I'm here..."

Park: "Raul, let me tell you, I've never seen anyone like you in my life."

Raul: "What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?"

Park: "You gave your eyes to your wife. That's ruthless. I respect you!"

Raul: "What are eyes worth? Whatever she wants, I'll give it to her."

Sasha: "Then start by ordering ten plates of lamb chops for me."

Simmon: "Sure thing!"

Raul: "Darling, darling, by the way, can we order five plates instead..."

Sasha: "Oh my... I'm suffering... My husband doesn't keep his word..."

Raul: "Stop, stop, stop, I was wrong. You can eat as much as you want."

Gray: "Hey everyone, how much have you all been drinking?"

Leya: "I don't know. Let's find a place to sit."

One hour into drinking, the group starts discussing topics that are usually difficult to talk about, and other bar-goers chime in.

Simmon: "Wolfrang, when are you and Leya getting married?"

Wolfrang: "Not for now. We have to wait until everything settles down."

Park: "Alright, then I'll make you both a pair of rings when the time comes."

Leya: "As incubi, we don't have the concept of marriage. We follow the customs of his hometown."

Raul: "No, I just want to know how you two decided to be together in the car."

Leya: "Why should I tell you?"

Raul: "Here's what, Leya, you say one sentence, and I'll drink a glass."

Leya: "That's what you said."

Raul: "Okay, go ahead. We all want to hear it."

Leya: "That day, you guys were swapping cars with Wolfrang, and we switched."

Raul: "And then?"

Leya: "We drank!"

Raul: "Alright, I'll drink."

Leya: "The space in the car was cramped."

Raul: "I know, and then?"

Leya: "We drank!"

Raul: "Damn it..."

Leya: "Wolfrang and I were squirming in our seats."

Raul: "Big sis, do you have to split one sentence into multiple parts?"

Leya: "Are you still listening?"

Raul: "I am, go ahead."

Leya: "Then, the road was bumpy, and the seats were shaking."

Raul: "Sister, you're really something. Even if I drank all the wine in the cellar, I still wouldn't get to the main point."

Leya: "Then let me tell you in one sentence."

Raul: "Okay, okay, as long as you make it clear."

Leya: "We were too cramped sitting face to face, so Wolfrang let me sit on his lap, and he held me. Then he said he had always loved me, wanted to marry me, and I agreed."

Raul: "That's it?"

Leya: "That's it."

Raul: "You agreed to this?"

Leya: "He has been saying those words 'I love you' to me for ten years. I don't want him to keep saying it when he's old."

Everyone fell silent and raised their glasses.

After drinking for one hour and twenty-two minutes, everyone was drunk and started speaking without filter.

Gray: "Everyone... I, um, had a bit too much to drink. I'm going upstairs to rest."

Simmon, Leya, Raul: "Come back, who allowed you to leave?"

Gray: "Alright, alright... I won't go."

Leya: "Raul, Simmon, you two are amazing. You can still drink without getting drunk against a demon."

Raul: "Back in the company's annual party, I drank two bottles and the demon didn't faze me."

Simmon: "Exactly, just because humans can't beat you doesn't mean we can't outdrink you."

Leya: "Alright, let's switch drinks. Bring out the Widum."

Sasha: "Husband, if you can't handle it, then don't drink."

Wolfrang: "Leya, drink less, okay?"

Simmon: "No way, damn it. Both of you have someone to take care of you, but I'm an old bachelor."

Raul, Leya: "Afraid of you?"

Park: "Huh... huh... huh..."

After drinking for one hour and thirty-one minutes, a newcomer appeared, but the guests didn't react.

Newcomer: "Leya, look at you now."

Leya: "What... what's wrong? I'm enjoying my drink. Come join me."

Raul slapped himself twice and asked, "Damn, did I drink too much? Why did these ladies end up in Night Fall Town?"

Simmon: "Ah, her... when our black market team was trading with her, she insisted on coming along. I asked why, and she said she wanted to help us fight against the kingdom. I thought it must be something you told her, so I brought her back."

Raul: "And no one objected?"

Simmon: "Initially, a few people did, but when she said she would help us fight against the kingdom, everyone became happy."

Raul: "Oh..."

Newcomer: "Hey, you two couples came too."

Sasha: "We came. What's up? Want to drink with us?"

Newcomer: "Sure, let's have a drink then."

Park: "Huh... huh... huh..."

After drinking for one hour and fifty minutes, the newcomer overwhelmed everyone with her superior drinking capacity. Everyone was extremely drunk, but their actions were forcedly graceful.

Newcomer: "Anyone else who can toast with me~~~"

Raul: "I, I, I'll do it. In this lifetime... I have never backed down from a drinking challenge!"

Sasha: "Husband drinks... I, I'll drink too..."

Leya: "A demon, demons are always the best drinkers, no way I'll lose..."

Simmon, leaning on the bar counter: "Please spare this old man..."

Wolfrang, very calm: "I won't drink anymore. If I drink more, I'll get drunk."

Gray, holding a hairpin, muttered: "My dear, when we go to battle, I don't know if I'll ever see you again..."

Park: "Huh... huh... huh..."

Later, I understood that the newcomer must be able to drink more than us. First of all, her stomach is bigger than ours, and her liver must be bigger too.

Fifteen minutes after drinking, the newcomer was sitting at the bar, pouring and drinking for herself, while everyone began to act crazy from alcohol.

Leya: "Wolfrang, hold me, hold me tightly."

Wolfrang: "There are so many people here..."

Leya: "Look at you, in the car, you even put your hands..."

Wolfrang covered Leya's mouth: "I'll hold you, I'll hold you, is hugging not enough?"

Leya: "Haha, let's see how high you can lift me!"

Wolfrang lifted Leya up high, and then Leya swayed and flew around in the bar, with Wolfrang following her, afraid she might fall.

Sasa: "Husband, um... four husbands~"

Raul: "No, one, one husband, six wives."

Sasa: "Husband, don't tease me, I feel dizzy."

Raul: "I'm not teasing, not teasing."

Sasa: "Carry me upstairs, I'm tired..."

Raul: "I'm also... tired, can't carry, husband can be your bed, just sleep here."

Sasa: "Um... husband is, is the bed."

Raul embraces Sasa and sleeps on the floor. Before falling asleep, he sees Leya and Wolfrang starting to dance without any dance steps.

After about three hours of drinking, the new bride has already left, and everyone is sleeping in a drunken state.

Everyone: "Hu... Hu... Hu..."

Park wakes up: "Yawn~Look at you all, each one of you fell down, and I'm still standing here. I'm definitely going to tell everyone about your sleeping positions, it'll be a big laugh in town."

As for the specific details of that day's drinking, they are not very clear in my memory. It was a pieced-together memory from later. The most memorable thing for me was not the new bride's drinking capacity, but the short conversation the next morning when I and Wolfrang were the first to wake up, leaning against the bar counter with a hangover, smoking.

"Wolfrang, do you know what I'm thinking?"

"What are you thinking?"

"I thought that this time when I woke up from being drunk, I would go back to that morning when I first stayed here."

"Yeah, I wish that too."

"The night before that day, I was also drunk, but I was still able to carry Sasa upstairs."

"At that time, you and her, really looked like children."

"Can we really not go back to the past?"

"There are many things that won't change just because you don't like them."
