A Sobering Standoff

  • I am impartial in granting alcohol to all who ask for it.
  • In fact, it is one of the very rules I have set regarding the alcohol here in Ginza.
  • However, there is a classless ingrate trying to take it by force.
  • If I were weak, then there would be nothing I can do. However, I am not weak. I am strong.
  • As such, I demand that my rules be followed.
  • If they believe in survival of the fittest, then so be it. Those foolish enough to challenge me will be put back in their place.
  • Now, it would be a simple matter to settle with force. However, there is no elegance or compassion in that approach.
  • And that is where you come in. Could I ask you to go and punish that ingrate in my stead?
  • Splendid. The offender is Black Frost. He deigns to call himself the emperor of Ginza.
  • I will leave it to you then. And a toast, to meeting such a refined individual as yourself...
  • What...!? ...No, I'm certain you have your own matters to address. I will wait until the time is more favorable to you.
  • Hm? You are with Bethel, are you not? That is quite a serious look on your face. I take it you know that I am Dionysus, the god of wine?
  • So it appears you are an assassin, sent by that demon who wishes to claim my alcohol. Very well then.
  • Let's settle this quickly. I shall triumph with ease, then partake in some exquisite wine!
  • Dear me. That black snowman still hasn't given up on my alcohol, so now he's sent you after me?
  • But you seem to be a level-headed sort. One that can be reasoned with. Come then, let us talk.
  • What are your thoughts on alcohol? If you can drink when you want, where you want, and however much you want, is that enough for you?
  • But alcohol is not infinite, and that of high quality is particularly difficult to produce. I can't say I approve of such wasteful drinking.
  • Not only that, but wine is not something to be monopolized. It is something that should be shared with all who want it.
  • That is why I have rules in place for the alcohol that I keep in Ginza.
  • And yet, a certain demon hatched this childish scheme to try and steal it. How pitiful.
  • But I believe you would be capable of punishing that troublemaker, and making him see the error of his ways.
  • How about it? Will you help me and show him the proper way to treat alcohol?
  • ...I see. If you've heard both sides of the story, and still choose to side against me, then there is nothing more to say.
  • I will use my full power and show you the proper way to use alcohol!
  • Let's settle this quickly. I shall triumph with ease, then partake in some exquisite wine!
  • Have you decided to accept my request and teach that inelegant troublemaker a lesson?
  • Kindly go and punish that Black Frost hiding in Ginza, would you? I trust that you'll get the job done.
  • What is the matter? I sense ill intent from you. No, it can't be...!?
  • So the so-called emperor of Ginza has swayed you to his side. Then I am left with no choice.
  • I will use my full power and show you the proper way to use alcohol!
  • Let's settle this quickly. I shall triumph with ease, then partake in some exquisite wine!
  • What terrifying strength. I cannot hope to prevail against it. In the end, is power all that matters?
  • Well, you've won, so do as you wish. As the loser, I shall bow out here. I believe I will be drinking away my frustrations tonight.
  • Ah, it's you. How did things fare with the emperor of Ginza?
  • That is wonderful news! Now he will surely cease his blasphemy towards alcohol and live an honest life.
  • But a journey to train, you say... I admire that resolve, enemy though he is.
  • How nostalgic. There was a time long ago when I, too, went on a journey. It doesn't sound so bad to go on another one after all this time.
  • All right, I've decided. I'm going to join you, and go on a journey once again!
  • However! It appears there is not enough room for you to take me with you. I suppose I must wait here.
  • Well? Is there room for me to come with you now?
  • It appears a part of my spirit is already with you. Do take good care of them. I will choose to wait here instead...
  • That demon looking over here is Black Frost.
  • It may be wise to return to Ginza and head indoors.
