Chapter 57 – Going to Work (6)

Watching Grape order, I looked at my cocktail glass, which was almost ready to drink, and asked Grape.

“Ah, chief… I am different.”

Then Grape blankly looked at me and my glass, gulped down, and ordered another drink.

“Give me this over there.”
“Ah yes… Catharsis Original and Quicker…”
“And this, please give me this too, sausage.”
“Yes, I will bring it right away.”

After a while, a cocktail that seemed to shine in golden yellow and a very strange cocktail divided into three colors were served.
I saw a strange cocktail that seemed to really kill my appetite and naturally tried to drink a golden cocktail, but Grape snatched the glass from me and handed me a strange cocktail.

“This is Mr. Anger.”
“This… Isn’t that strange?”
“Drink it.”

What came to me were layers of green, flesh, and black… It was a really strange and ridiculous cocktail.
I took a sip of Grape, thinking the smell wasn’t bad, even though I noticed Grape. It was unexpectedly sweet and delicious, so he sipped it with a gulp.

“Are all cocktails originally like this juice? It’s delicious.”
“That’s right, it’s like drinking juice like that, so drink a lot.”

Is this why Grape likes it… It’s a drink, but it’s so delicious that it’s worth drinking.
After drinking moderately, eating sausage and then drinking it again, the taste is special again.
But I feel like I’m intoxicated.

“You drink too fast… Is it that delicious?”
“It’s delicious, wow… It is very delicious.”
“… Mr. Anger, before, you said that if you drink too much, you can’t remember from a certain moment, right?”
“Ah… That’s right, but right now, isn’t this a cocktail?”
“What I drank before… Because it’s only been a few bottles…”

Watching Grape quietly counting something, I shook my head slightly while thinking about when to hypnotize him.
I don’t think I drank that much, but I’m strangely drunk.
Could it have something to do with my headache lately… ?
As if I was weak from alcohol, I only had two drinks, but I’m already dizzy.

“… How strong is the cocktail?”
“It’s not very high~ Rather than that, Mr. Anger, didn’t you say you had something to ask?”
“Oh right…”

I suddenly wondered how many degrees of this alcohol is in a glass, and after hearing Grape’s words, I remembered what I was originally curious about, so I asked while drinking.

“What are the magic properties of Grape?”
“Magic… ?”
“No, just suddenly… Other magical girls shout their starting words, but Grape always thinks there is no such thing.”
“… Are you curious about that?”
“Because I am a fan.”

This was a question that Grape, a purely magical girl, was curious about.
It was famous that Grape could not use her magic properly and fought only by strengthening her magic, but the enhancement itself became so famous that she talked too little about Grape’s magic.
However, all magical girls have one magical characteristic.

Esther is fire, Louis is explosion, Sienna is ice, Arna is electricity…
In Mazinsa, it is almost certain to be Rapid’s magic characteristic, and it is assumed that it is space, and Rapid uses space magic.
Lily thinks she might have something to do with martial arts, while Ash thinks it might have something to do with swords.
Grape… She only talks about strengthening her body through magic, but she doesn’t talk about what kind of magic she uses.

“Ha… Yes, I’m a fan… Hmm… Cow, can you give me your hand?”

I immediately reached out my hand to Grape who sighed.
Holding his hand, Grape wraps his hand around mine, giving me something warm.
It feels like the inside of my hand is tight, and it feels as if the blood vessels are slightly inflated like a balloon.

“This… ?”
“This is my first and last magic, Activation. You know my magic ability is low, right? Because you said you were a fan.”

According to the National Guard’s measurements, Grape’s magic ability is only at the level of a low-ranking magical girl.
It is said that while top-level and high-ranking magical girls have the ability to use various types of magic and implement magic outside of their bodies, lower-ranking magical girls can only channel magic inside their bodies or use magic in the palm of their hand.

Even so, it is her Grape that is famous for only accumulating her magic power, strengthening her own body with that magic power, and continuing to train her body only to become stronger.
She is a magical girl who has proven that she can rise to number 6 with just hand-to-hand combat without the proper use of magic.

“Now, I’ve activated Mr. Anger’s blood movement a little more, making her blood circulate faster.”
“Ah… So.”
“This isn’t the only thing that can be done, but when you’re unable to move, use magic inside your body to force it to move, or to speed up recovery a little… Make your food digest quickly or… It is possible to make her organs or muscles more mobile.”

One question was solved.
Maybe that’s why she was able to withstand the assault of the negatives for so long that Grape’s nickname became an iron wall?
It’s a magic that can only be used inside the body, so it’s obvious.

“I’ve only used this so far, and now I can use it without shouting the starter word, and it’s not a big deal, but it’s a useful magic. Are your questions answered?”
“Excuse me… But it makes me a little dizzy because it bleeds quickly.”
“Mr. Anger asked me to teach him… I have no choice…”

The curiosity is solved, but it seems that her drunkenness rises more as she becomes an object of magic while drinking and makes her blood circulate faster.
Grape let go of my hand, and suddenly I got drunk, I held my hand to my forehead and ate the sausage with a fork.

“Do you have any other questions?”
“Hmm… If there is a way to recover her magical power before… Are all magical girls secretly dating and making boyfriends?”
“Oh, no…”

I thought about it for a while, then got drunk and brought up a more explicit question.
When I asked if all the magical girls should have sex if they could recover their mana through sex, Grape looked around and came closer to satisfy my curiosity.

“And… Recovery is a secret… That addiction… It can get worse.”
“Addicted?”
“Should I say dependence rather than addiction? Normal people can’t feel it, but people’s emotions have their own unique wavelength, and magical girls have that wavelength… The moment they overlap, the wall collapses a little bit.”
“Wall?”
“Ha… I don’t know how to describe this, space? Area… ? It’s because I’m accepting the other person’s life with my own power while destroying that place… Oh, anyway… I don’t know… It’s a little bit, you might come to depend on it, so it’s top-secret information for those who aren’t at the top…”

I’m not sure what you’re talking about with the sense of a magical girl, but I know that it’s a story unknown to ordinary magical girls that it is possible to recover magical power by absorbing semen.

“Accepting… It’s a part of it, so the risk is very big. If you ever have a problem with that person… Emotions also have a big impact, so ah, anyway… This is really top-secret information, so you can’t tell it anywhere just in case.”
“Can the National Guard take them away?”
“… Yes.”

I meant this as a joke, but I didn’t expect you to respond so immediately.
Is it a dangerous thing to say that a magical girl can recover magic with semen? .

“It doesn’t matter if you reveal the fact that you’re dating a magical girl.”
“Ohh.”
“Although few people reveal…”

Well, it’s strange that you can’t even have sex while dating.
With so many fans, it would be difficult to reveal their relationship.
I already prevented the magical subway girls from revealing the contents of my conversation, but just in case next time, I’ll add hypnosis so they don’t tell others that they can recover magic with semen.

“Well, there is a way to recover quickly even if you are not poisoned, but if you are recovering slowly, it will be cramped.”
“Yes… I guess.”
“But isn’t it nice to have a partner… ? If you’re a virgin, you won’t be strong.”

I pretended not to know anything and asked while glancing at the grapes.
I thought it would be a bit strange question, so I was going to hypnotize him, but looking at his current state, I thought it would be good to ask him like this.

“… Are these all the questions Mr. Anger wants to ask? Questions about magical girls?”

But unfortunately, Grape turned back the story as if it was difficult to answer.
Still, it is possible to infer to some extent from the reaction alone.
If you think about the reaction now, you don’t know that being a virgin makes you stronger, or it’s hard to say even if you know… Either one.

It could be that you just don’t want to talk about it, but it could also be that the reason you don’t want to talk about it is because it’s difficult to talk about.
… I think it would be more certain to hypnotize and ask.
I nodded my head, thinking that I knew the most curious things I could ask now.

“Ha… Do you really like magical girls?”
“Yes.”
“… Did you think I was pretty even when you didn’t know I was a magical girl?”

Why are you asking the obvious… ?
Grape will live looking in the mirror every day, so she must be well aware that she is pretty.
I’m not sure what the intent of the question is.

“Yes? When all the employees see the team leader, they say that she is pretty. I also have eyes, so my eyes are pretty too… ?”
“… Shall we order a drink for you next time, Mr. Anger?”
“Uh… Already?”
“It’s better not to stop drinking.”

Grape listened to me and thought I was asking a useless question, so he turned around and ordered me another cocktail.
When she was drinking at a dinner party, she was told by the manager that she should not stop drinking, but it seems that the way cocktails are drunk is the same.

“Please bring me another Earthquake.”

After a while, a new cocktail was served and placed in front of me, so I emptied my glass more quickly, thinking that I should have another drink.
Grape looked at me and smiled as if he liked the way he drank the cocktail he recommended.

“By the way, Mr. Anger, what kind of girl do you like?”
“Uh… It feels like drinking with the manager.”

However, the sudden question that followed reminded me of a similar question the manager had asked, and when he answered immediately, the smile disappeared from Grape’s face.
Like the words he never stopped drinking, and the question of what kind of girl he likes, these were questions that the manager couldn’t help but come to mind.
However, I think this is a bit too wordy even for me.
Even though I was drunk, I realized belatedly how much it was to compare the manager and Grape, so I immediately apologized to Grape.

“Sorry.”
“… No, it’s okay if you know you’re wrong, it’s good that you know you’re wrong.”
“Kuhm…”

The topic needs to be changed quickly.
I told Grape one by one of the things I like about women.

“First of all, I like to tie my hair… A big chest or a good body is fine.”
“Ah… Uh, um…”

Every time you tell me one of Rapid’s characteristics, Grape trembles and wraps around her head, then her chest, then her belly.

“It’s better if you’re kind… I like magical girls more than anything else…”
“Wait, stop…”
“Yes?”
“Stop it, drink, drink…”

Grape blushed and suddenly held out her cocktail glass.
Immediately following Grape’s request, I stopped her, made a toast, and sipped my drink.
