Might
Un, I humbly accept.

Might decided on a tragic but brave resolution, and taking the glass in hand, he took a quick breath, and gulped down the drink.

Kurt
Oh, you're drinking well.

Might
-Haaa...

He drained the substance in the glass all at once, and Might took a big breath.

Kurt
Iyah, splendid. Just seeing that is charming.

Might
Haa, haa, haa...

Might breathed restlessly after he after doing such a violent action.

Kurt
Oh, are you ok, Might-san?

Might
Y, yeah... (I, I really thought I was going to die...)

Kurt
How is the taste?

Might
Eh, umm... It, it was wonderful. Thank you, Kurt-san.

Kurt
That's good. And when I make a new drink I can have you sample it first.

Kurt seemed satisfied when he left.

Might
Ha, haa... (I guess he's going to make me drink something that surpasses this... I'm anxious...)

While he was in the temple at least, Might prayed secretly that this new drink wasn't invented.

In the meantime, time passed with amazing swiftness, the day of fate-- it was a week until the solar eclipse-.

Might was still indecisive. He hadn't been able to calmly catch a lot of facts that he learned after he came to this temple.

He and Adonis were the children of the legendary hero and magician who sealed the devil, the devil was reviving, and for that reason he captured Adonis' body...

Too many sudden events kept happening, was the path Might was walking really the right one, everyday he was secretly suffering.

That day it was early afternoon. As he was walking around the temple aimlessly a voice called out to Might.

Man's Voice
...Might-san.

The voice that called Might to a stop was again Kurt.

Might
...Kurt, san...?

In Might's mind was the nightmare of the handmade drink a few days ago. All day after that, the harsh taste clung to his mouth all day.

But then, after he drank that handmade drink his physical condition felt greatly improved, perhaps with the exception of the taste and appearance it was an effective drink.

Kurt
We've met at the perfect place. I've been searching for you.

Might
Eh, it, it can't be that again...

Kurt
No, I'm afraid to say I don't have a handmade drink today.

Might secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Kurt
As a matter of fact, while I was sorting the temple archives I found an old document of a crest. I learned that it seems like that recorded crest increases the power of sword techniques and hastens the speed.

Kurt
Of course the effectiveness is inferior to formal magic, but even if you can't use magic it would be possible for you to benefit from the crest.

Might
Really? That's reassuring.

Kurt
How is that, Might-san. If it's ok, I want to put the crest on that scarf for you.

Might
Eh, this scarf...?

Kurt
Yes. If it's ok with you right now... That's right, how about a crest that boosts defense? I think that would definitely be useful.

Might
(Yeah... Though I'm glad Kurt-san offered, because Adonis chose this scarf it's important, I want to leave it as it is...)

Thank you. Please.

I'm sorry. No thank you.
