[ She vaguely remembers that Gojou drank something nonalcoholic the last time they were here together. ]

Do you want something strong? Or...?

[ Well, she doesn't actually think he's stupid enough to get drunk tonight when anyone can be pulled into execution tomorrow. ]

[mukagen]

Nope! I don't want to end up like Shi Qingxuan, so... Only enough to make me feel nice will be fine.

[ And that means he will eventually stop drinking these, but for now he's mixing. ]

Which means you might need to taste some of these for me.

[fergalicious]

Sure. If they taste subpar, I expect some repayment.

[ But if he's good at "anything he puts his mind to," it'll probably be fine.

Medb's alcohol tolerance is really good besides. ]

What will you do, if you are chosen?

[mukagen]

Only one of us can come out alive, right?

[ Since... He heard about that repayment part, he will taste all his bad attempts first. Only when they get good will he offer them. ]

The answer is simple. I have to kill him.

[fergalicious]

[ If he's bad at drink mixing, that's going to get him some kind of way if he hasn't built up much of a tolerance.

Gojou... please. She was joking. Maybe. Probably. 50/50. ]

I suppose I shouldn't have needed to ask after what I saw earlier this week. [ She looks vaguely apologetic. ] I'd prefer you alive.

[mukagen]

[ Fortunately, he has the know-how, but it's all theory until he gets it. Small sips until then. At least his drinking tolerance is good.

It doesn't take too long till he makes a good drink. Here! A pink drink. ]

Thanks! I would prefer to be alive, too, so I'm committed. [ He gives her a smile. ] It'll be fine.

[fergalicious]

[ She takes the drink and takes a sip. ]

Is saying it'll be fine something you say because if you say it enough, it'll become true?

[mukagen]

It's because there's nothing I can do but my best and, if I have to rely on others, I just have to trust them.

[ A powerless and helpless saying, but he doesn't seem bothered. ]

[fergalicious]

Did you just "friendship is power" me?

[ She gives him a disbelieving look. ]

[mukagen]

Some of my allies aren't my friends. I pay one of them to be on my side of conflict.

[ So, no. "Money and influence is power." ]

[fergalicious]

[ She hides a laugh behind a hand. ]

Okay, that's better. I like that more.

[mukagen]

For some people, only power and money talk! So that's how it is.

[ He doesn't seem bothered that FRIENDSHIP doesn't break it. ]
