Now, Hanami, a gathering of company colleagues and bosses, is considered to be an occasion for social entertaining.

In fact, that opinion is generally not wrong.

It is a subordinate's job to secure a place to see the cherry blossoms, and once the party starts, they pour drinks, prepare food, and listen to their bosses' stories, which are often like an extension of their work.

There is no need to feel like going out for a drink with friends.

Some people may think that it is a day off.

Some people may think that such a place is painful.

But if you don't care about such things, you can enjoy this kind of place.

I can't say that I'm an either/or, but depending on the time, place, and participants, I can enjoy it.

To put it bluntly, as long as there is no boss I don't like, I can enjoy it.

I enjoy having a drink with a good friend, and I would appreciate it if a junior colleague set it up for me.

What if you have a boss you don't like? I'll be sycophantic in a mask, responding in a bland manner and giving the middle finger in my mind.

I don't think there's a hanami party like this in the whole world.

"? Did you say something, Jiro-san?

"No, I just thought it was an amazing sight. What I know about Hanami is that it's a totally different scene.

"Yes, I suppose that's true.

The cherry blossoms have fallen and the place has become very lively.

I've known cherry blossom viewing parties, where cheerful old men make a lot of noise with drinks in their hands, families with children happily picking their lunchboxes, and couples enjoying themselves by looking up at the cherry blossoms.

However, the scene in front of you is very different from that.

Under the cherry blossom trees, demons puddle their drinks, the undead laugh, the dark gourmets tuck into their food, and people enjoy themselves.

The scene may seem as if it were a nightmare of a hundred demons, but contrary to the words, the atmosphere of this place is very bright.

Until last year, I would have thought such a scene was a story from the world of anime and manga.

You are able to sit down and tilt the cup in your hand, but no liquor is flowing into your mouth, letting you know that it is empty.

Come in, Jiro-san.

"Thank you, Suela.

Pouring the sake into such an empty cup is the dark elf, Suela.

Looking at the bottle she was holding, it was sake from Memoria's store.

It was a decent price, but thanks to our investors in this banquet, the cost of sake was not that much of a burden.

In fact, there is a demon leader on the other side drinking the same brand of sake.

I am grateful for this opportunity to drink good sake.

It's delicious.

Maybe it's because she's beautiful and her fiancé poured it for her, or maybe it's because of the atmosphere, but it feels better than the last time I drank it.

You can drink it too, it's delicious.

"Oh, that looks good, Memoria.

As you surrender to the warm, faint and comfortable intoxication, a plate is gently presented to you from the memoria.

The food on the plate was something I had never seen before.

It looks like jerky at first glance, but the white powder is distracting.

Since it's what she offers, it shouldn't be too bad or strange, so you pick one off the plate and put it in your mouth.

It's a little sour, but the sugar makes it just right. Is it a dried fruit?

I was expecting a sour taste, but on the contrary, it was sour and sweet in my mouth.

Yes, it's a dried fruit called larches and sprinkled with sugar. I used to beg my parents to make it for me when I was a child.

After being a little surprised at the taste, I commented on the deliciousness of the food, and Memoria laughed happily, revealing the identity of the food.

So it's just a taste of Memoria's old days.

When you think about it, it makes you want to eat one more thing.

Just pluck one from the plate and put it in your mouth, the sourness spreads in your mouth again and the sweetness of the melted sugar softens the sourness.

The sweetness of the melted sugar soothes the sourness.

Kaa, it's good.

It was good to see.

Then, naturally, the liquor will flow, and Suela will pour you some more.

"Lord, you should try this one.

"Oh, the dumplings look good,

"Mm! The ogre almost robbed me, but I kicked it away!

"Which demon?

"The demon that was just sunk into the ground

"All right then.

After the party starts, the flow is created on its own, and it's the height of folly to inadvertently unify the group in such an environment.

Then let them do what they want, hand out food and drinks and a group will be created naturally.

Maybe it's because I was the last one to join up with Suera and the others to look at the cherry blossoms.

But at our place, there was plenty of booze but not enough food, so Himik took a seat and, sure enough, there was a kitchen over there with a plush table where he cooked and brought it to us.

The plate of steaming gyoza looks delicious, and the smell of it apparently lured the demon to mess with it, but she, who has the combat ability of an instructor, kicked him off.

It's the place to drink, so they'll give you some peace of mind.

If this is the case, there's no way those demons are sitting back and drinking.

It's possible that the ladies will subdue them, but they are demons too, so don't hold your breath.

So, in order to fill up your belly, you take your chopsticks to a hot dumpling and bring it to your mouth.

It's so good! Did you raise your arm again, Himik?

"Yes, it's really good. Is it the cheese that's a little mellower?

Yeah, we have a variety of flavors for you to try.

I like this little spicy guy.

"How about the Lord? Which dumpling is your favorite?

It's good to be creative, but I'll settle for the more conventional ones. It's partly because I'm used to eating them.

"I see! I made a lot of food, so eat a lot of food.

The taste of the meat oil and vegetables in the mouth goes well with the sake.

I'm thinking beer is better than sake, but it's good enough.

Smiling and nodding happily at the sight of me eating my delicious gyoza, Himik offered me another dish.

"Himikku's skills have gotten a lot better. You were failing to crack eggs at first, but now you're the best cook of all of us.

"Ugh, I'm not very good with force. I've never even cooked. So what can I do?

After setting up some plates, she joins us, picking at the food and drink in hand.

Suela isn't the only one who doesn't drink, but she eats slowly so as not to strain her stomach.

"But I'm also very grateful for your help. Himikku prepares my lunch, which helps me save on food expenses.

"Me too. You do the housework for me so I can focus on my work.

Hmm, I'm embarrassed to be told that again.

"Well, I'm sorry for being so indebted to you all the time, but this is a good time. What do you need me to do? Not that it's a daily thing,

"Then I want a baby with the Lord.

"No, you do that on a regular basis. I can't help you there, either.

"If you go to .........,

Maybe it's because of the alcohol, or maybe it's the atmosphere, but Himikku has become a little less reserved.

After some serious consideration of my saying anything, she slowly approaches and gently puts her head on my lap.

Can we just hang out like this for a while?

It's what's called a lap pillow.

I don't know if a man's knee would do, but she was looking up at me a little shyly.

Yeah, that's good.

Kneeling with a fallen angel under a cherry tree.

Wondering what it looks like.

""........."

"You two are after Himik.

"Yes!

Please.

I'm going to be able to get the most out of it.

I'm sure you'll be happy to see her accepting it, and that alone makes this hanami experience worthwhile.

I'm sure that's where it all ended, but that's not how our company works.

Afterwards, we had a kneeling session with Himiku, Memoria and Suela, but by that time, the entire hall was well stocked with liquor.

"Come on! It's going to come at you, Kaido-senpai! My tiger armor is bloodthirsty, that it is! Behold! Four swords with magic, that is!

"What! We usually use a two-pronged approach! There's no way you can lose to such a barbed wire!

"Good luck, brave man!

"Yes! Good luck!

"Chung, Struggle Expectations

"What are they doing?

"Uh? Badminton Cana?

"What the hell is he doing?

"Oh, Amy's co-workers are some funny people, hey Amy.

"Mamie! It's a cherry blossom!

Drunk with the atmosphere and with a tension beyond the usual tension, the South holds a badminton racket with both hands plus two badminton rackets and launches the wings.

It is intercepted by a clearly intoxicated Kaido, who has been drunk by the twin angels and Ki-Oh, but is still clearly conscious with a liver forged by the instructors, who intercepts it with a double-barreled racket.

Neither side is pulling back, which is great from the other side.

The instructors are laughing at it.

What a fun thing to do! Hey Immortals! Do we do that later?

It's not a bad idea to exercise for the first time in a long time.

It's probably just for fun, but later on Kaido's position will become Kio's and Minami's will become Fusio's, and we'll see a lot more than that.

But, as I returned from the restroom, I didn't listen to the story and wondered what happened to the demon brothers and sisters.

Ooh! Goudou, Gadow, Ina! Drink up! It's still going to work!

Yuka, your brother already

Oh, sister, no more.

"Oh no, we're screwed, we're screwed,

If you look in the direction of the commotion, you'll see a demon drinking alcohol with his siblings, but there was a demon crushing a demon with alcohol.

I thought that she might be the closest person to instructor Kio.

And I wonder what's going on with Suela and the others.

"Ho, good soul baby!

It's true! Hey, hey, boy? Girls?

No, we don't know that yet.

I guess so, but then again, my husband must have a good eye for dark elves, vampires, fallen angels, and all these maidens.

The wives of the instructors were surrounding Suela, and they were talking about something regarding the child.

Actually, we want one too.

It's not easy to do.

"Don't be in a hurry, because unlike me, you have potential. The best medicine is not to be overwhelmed.

I was in a hurry because I was having trouble getting it done, but my husband was like, 'Don't worry about it! I'll be responsible for you until you get knocked up! And he encouraged me to do so.

I'd like to say that I'm a bit of a fussy person, but I'm also a bit of a fussy husband, and when Gado was born, he was very restless and Enka beat me many times.

Is that so?

The atmosphere was not one that a man could enter in terms of its content.

I was wondering what to do, and was thinking about asking to be let into the circle of instructors.

"Hey! Groom! Sorry I'm late!

A familiar voice called out to me.

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw five figures.

Suela's grandfather, Muille, waved cheerfully, her father-in-law, Meitte, and her mother-in-law, Smilasta, nodded their heads in a mature manner.

Next to them were Gray and Mirl, the height difference between them, and Memoria's parents, Gray and Mirl.

Good to see you all.

"Mm! Your son-in-law seems to be in good health.

Hey, good to see you. How's Suella doing?

"Oh my gosh, no news is a sign of good health, as they say in our world, but we need more news.

Ha, I'll tell Suela. It's been a long time, Mr. Gray and Ms. Mille.

"Hmm, long time no see, Mister Jiro.

"Yoo-hoo groom! I wonder how she's getting along with Memoria?

Yes, she's always been good to me.

"Good!

It's almost dusk, and it's almost time to be on time.

Then I thought it was time for Kaylee and her friends to arrive and I showed them to their seats.

The presence of the instructor, his wife, and their children puzzled me at first, but it was only the first time that I was confused.

No! You gotta try to live long! I never thought the day would come when I would be able to drink with the Demon King and the Immortal King! This Muille! I have a nice souvenir for my grandmother on the other side!

"And, Dad, I'm so sorry to be out of the blue, Oni-Oh, Immortal-Oh,

"Gahahahaha! Never mind, you're a good drunk, old man, then the more the merrier! Drink this stuff!

"Hmm, do you think this vampire would be better off with this drink?

"Yes, thank you.

The fathers easily joined the circle of instructors.

After all, it's hard to raise a child, isn't it? She's calmer now, but she used to be a mischievous child.

It's cute compared to my kids, they want to imitate the master in everything, so it's too much work.

"But on the other hand, Memoria-chan was so quiet, I'm jealous that she's so healthy.

"Really? And I think cute kids have their advantages, too, right?

From my point of view, your troubles are a luxury.

"Shree must not give up, either! When I joined this company, I couldn't keep up with all the things I was seeing and thinking! I don't know what kind of power I can handle!

"Mummy! Stop! Let's have a drink of water! Ne!

The mothers are coming together as a group of mothers.

Suela and the others listen intently to what they have to say, thinking it will help them in the future.

As they wondered where to join, they decided to join Kaido and the others.

Jiro.

Oh, Kaylee, thank you for your help.

Thank you for having me. Jiro-sama.

"Thank you for coming all the way, Tatte-san,

"Looks like you're on a roll, Jiro.

Yeah, it's pretty much ready.

But it seems that Evvia and her friends have arrived at the right time as well.

They're in no condition to react, so I'll take care of them.

"I apologize first, sorry. I didn't get him off.

I ran up to Kaylie, Tatte and Evia, and greeted them, but all three of them were not looking good.

I'm not sure. Slightly tired?

And I'm wondering what the hell you're talking about when you hear an apology from Evvia.

"Oh, my God! You didn't invite me to this joyous occasion!

The voice is not loud, but it comes through well.

The people in the hall reacted with a start, and all eyes were on the owner of the voice.

Hey Jiro, it's you again! It looks interesting, so I came!

As if to answer my question, the one who slowly appeared from behind Evia-san with a plastic bag in hand was .

Sir?

Was .
