Galadia left after announcing her decision, leaving the restless Griffith thinking nervously. He was excited, nervous, and a little scared.
 After his mind went blank for a short time, he quickly calmed down.
According to Sidious, the elves of the Valannoy clan once tried to have Griffith killed during the mission to prevent his relationship with Galadia from getting closer and causing a scandal, or harming their interests.
The elves are so powerful that they can even hide it from Count Larmore for a short time and use the official power of Beyeland to plan a conspiracy. In order to achieve their goals, they do not hesitate to offend powerful figures like the Count, which shows that their will is also very determined.
Galadia knew about this. However, she still tried to take Griffith to Canaan and put him in front of the people.
Today's topic is undoubtedly a follow-up to the previous topic about knight competition and laurel crowns. Although Galadia covered her ears and did not dare to continue the conversation that day, after a period of hesitation, she had obviously made up her mind.
, what are you preparing?
 Griffiths sat on the hospital bed holding his chest, rationality and sensibility intertwined in his heart.
She is a wonderful encounter in a distant world, a journey companion, a close friend and a classmate who gets along day and night, but not only that. Even if you are on a tiring march or hesitating on the edge of conspiracy, you can't help but think of her and her exquisite face.
Happy words, intimate touches, soft black hair and pointed ears, recalling the attachment and gentle hug that I didn’t want to leave when I was leaving.
There are indeed countless ways of being inappropriate with each other, the immortal elf and the short-lived human, the noble daughter of a famous family and the ordinary second son of a knight, not to mention the hidden conspiracy and fatal atmosphere detected in the encounter and past.
Danger.
The encounter that day was not accidental. Even if you hide under the quilt and cover your head, it cannot change this fact. If you get closer, those lofty gazes and lingering conspiracies will come to you sooner or later. No matter how dull you are, you should understand this.
.
The meeting that day was probably arranged. Shouldn't the reasonable judgment be to quit early and finish the rest of the studies at Homemonworth with eyes closed and ears blocked? Or, more safely, go to the pasha to find Elu.
Sha and Amber are looking for another happy and fulfilling life. This seems good...
  No, I refuse! What was I thinking? Griffith shook his head vigorously.
Galadia’s character is joyful and free-spirited, but she is such a smart person~ So far, when she couldn’t answer, which time had she not carefully avoided the question?
As the daughter of a consul, wouldn’t she know what it means to bring a human to the people? She just didn’t write it on her face lightly, and she didn’t tell the answer early.
Galadia has done a lot in a place I don't know about. This invitation means that she has made up her mind and is ready, just like I am willing to fight by shouting her name and dedicating the laurel crown to her.
Same. There is no need to explain the meaning.
 Now, it’s my time to act.
Griffith raised his head, stared at the distant sky outside the window, and said to the new gods and old gods, and to all those who were watching them:
 “Come on, the dice has been cast.”
 …
 July is coming, the hot summer and the happy summer vacation are here.
 Although the exams have ended, the experiments and lectures of some courses will not stop. After the potions course and experimental work for the day, Griffith quickly took two bites of his dinner and slipped out.
He brought some edible aromatics made by Sonia. The girl only thought it was an experiment in class for fun, but as soon as she heard that this thing could also be eaten, Griffith became interested and asked for it after class.
Come and prepare to add a little bit to one of your own pumpkins to try the effect.
 Summer vacation is coming soon, and he will be away from school for a long time. Before that, he must handle the business of making moonshine properly, and inventory management cannot be careless.
He quietly walked through the deserted corridor and ran towards an unknown storage room.
Homemonworth is an amazingly large castle with many mysterious and hidden places. As an assistant in the Potions course, he found a well-ventilated and dry one from many empty houses facing the sea.
Use a hidden storage room to make your own secret base.
This small storage room was built on the foundation of the city wall in the southeast corner of the castle. The sea breeze can blow in through the small window. It is hidden and cool. It looks like a secret outpost dug during the war.
 Griffith walked very carefully, deliberately turning back from time to time or checking the side roads to see if anyone was following him. Recently, he seemed to be able to feel a line of sight following him, but he had never actually discovered it.
 “Boom!”
Griffith opened the door of the storage room and sighed contentedly.
His big pumpkins and wooden barrels are neatly arranged on the sturdy shelves, and there are twenty of them. He found the opportunity to get these from Kroger and the town of Baltimore, and it was not easy to get what he has today.
scale.
Although his recent mission has made him a lot of money, and the quasi-knight's allowance and salary are also very generous. However, he also spends money like water. All his savings are in the process of upgrading spell levels, repairing equipment, and making potions.
Run out.
What's more, sneaky things like bootlegging and selling alcohol are so addictive! When I think about this illegal and undisciplined business, I feel so high!
The sweet and intoxicating aroma of wine has filled the air, and the whole cabin is filled with an intoxicating smell. It’s time for another batch of private brewing!
 Griffith carefully opened a lid. The sweet aroma stirred the heartstrings. Life must be incomplete without drinking pumpkin wine!
With a whole room filled with moonshine, Griffith will soon become the Hometown Watts liquor tycoon. When he reaches the second year and holds the title of noble or military officer, his business will dominate the underground of Hometown Watts.
trade!
“Many years later, my son will ask me: ‘Dad, did you really fight alongside those great heroes?’
“‘No, my children, I rule their joy, and they make me their Lord.’”
Ahahahaha! The more Griffith thought about it, the more proud he became. His throat squirmed and he couldn't wait to find the crystal cup he had prepared.
Looking at the bright red liquid flowing into the crystal vessel, shining with holy brilliance in the afterglow of dusk coming through the window. Griffith felt that his heart was drunk, completely immersed in the joy and happiness of the harvest.
 He ​​gently shook the wine glass and looked at the deep red liquid beads hanging on the wall of the glass. He couldn't help but close his eyes and smell the intoxicating aroma.
At this moment, a pair of cold hands suddenly covered his eyes, and a seductive voice sounded in his ears:
 “It’s been a long time waiting for you!”
 Griffith was so frightened that he trembled and the wine glass in his hand fell. But the hand covering his eyes was so quick that he caught the falling crystal glass without spilling a drop of wine.
 “I can help you even if you don’t drink!”
This is Galadia's familiar jumping and joyful voice. The elf girl put a hand on the trainee knight's shoulder, raised the wine glass gracefully, and took a small sip.
“Hoo ho! Not bad, well done!” Galadia patted Griffith on the shoulder and shouted to the door, “Come on, come on, it’s even more delicious!”
Who is coming quickly? Why "more"? Griffith's face turned pale, and he turned around to see Fiona being the first to rush into his secret base.
 Then Lana and Ophelia also poked their heads at the door, and then slipped in together with Midianmaia, opened each pumpkin and looked inside.
 Finally, Sonia walked into the storage room with a curious face. She wanted to join in and see what was in the pumpkin, but she was a little embarrassed.
"This one and this one are ready to drink," Galadia pointed to the two big pumpkins familiarly, "Let the others go."
After hearing this, the robbers who rushed into the storage room immediately put away the other pumpkins and took down the two best ones.
Miss Elf took out Griffith's wine glass as she did in her own living room, poured a little for everyone, and thoughtfully poured half the glass for Griffith, and then raised her glass elegantly: "Please have a taste, everyone."
and express their opinions.”
　　　…”
 “Then I won’t be polite.”
 “I’ll just drink a little.”
"Thank you for hospitality!"
As if in a dream, Griffith watched his friends who had not paid use their own wine glasses to fill their own wine glasses with the private wine that he had painstakingly prepared, and then drank it all in one gulp in front of him.
 “Hoo~!”
 Everyone who drank the wine exclaimed happily. The cold taste brought by being stored underground was impeccable.
Sonia held the wine glass, and after the sweet red liquid rolled into her delicate red lips, her originally somewhat restrained face blossomed, and the cool storage room seemed to be filled with beautiful morning light, becoming extraordinarily bright.
 “It tastes so good!” Sonia stroked her lips in disbelief, “It has a completely different taste from the red wine I’ve drunk before. Griffith, you are so awesome.”
“Yes, really? Hehe.” Griffith stared blankly at the girl’s blushing smile.
Galadia raised her eyebrows and poured Sonia another glass: "You're welcome, one more glass."
"I'll have another drink too!" Fiona pulled her collar and tied her long skirt around her waist like a girl playing by the stream in the country, revealing her long and round legs, and knocked Lana with her hands.
on his shoulder, "Rana, don't stand there! Have you brought the snacks?"
The burly Lana nodded, took out two roasted golden lamb legs and a knife from the package and said: "It's too boring to sit here. Let's go to the vineyard outside the city wall. There is no one there now."
 …
 Griffith and his friends sat around in the vineyard pavilion under the city wall at sunset. The wine tasted soft and sweet, and there was an indescribable feeling of comfort and comfort in your mouth when you drank it under the refreshing sea breeze.
