Chapter 250: Rage
250 – Rage
My partner accepts a porcelain cup from Koren. She looks around as though troubled, then peers into the cup, staring at her reflection.
N-no, just drink it already. You’re not going to say you don’t know how, are you? All you’ve got to do is bring it to your lips and tilt it back. It’s really not that hard.
“…Are you not going to drink?”
Unable to just watch any longer, Yarg asks. I see her face tensing in the water’s reflection as she prepares herself. There’s no need to get so worked up about it, though…
She lifts the cup above her mouth before poring the entire contents down her throat. Some of the water is lost as it splashes onto her face and body, but overall it was splendid chugging technique. That was close, but not quite what I had in mind. It would have been fine if you took it a bit slower.
The usually expressionless Yarg opens his eyes wide.
Hey partner, don’t go exposing us in such a weird. . way? Wait, what!? Suddenly, our throat is burning. My consciousness flickers.
“Gah, gaah!”
