Card Story: A Toast to His Kindness

Chapter 1

Shopkeeper: Oi, you folks over there. Interested in doing some wine tasting?

Rutile: Wow! There's various bottles lined up so we can compare the taste. Madam Sage, how about we try some drinks together?

Akira: Sounds good. I was just feeling a little thirsty myself.

Shopkeeper: If that's the case, I recommend this wine that goes down the throat smoothly!

Akira: Th-thank you!
(Oh no! He offered it to me, so I automatically thanked him, but......)

Rutile: It certainly seems delicious! I'll have some.

(Gulp)

Rutile: Mmm, what a lovely aroma! Mister Shopkeeper, do you have any recommendations for grape juice as well?

Shopkeeper: If it's grape juice you're after, it'll have to be this one. Its rich flavour is as good as any wine!

Rutile: Thank you very much. Madam Sage, shall we try this one?

Akira: Thank you, Rutile. ......I can't drink alcohol, so you really helped me out there.

Rutile: No, I should be the one thanking you. After all, it's because of you that I got to enjoy such a tasty wine.

Akira: Rutile...... Um, if you don't mind, would you like to do a toast?

Rutile: Oh, what a fantastic suggestion! Of course, gladly.
Well then, Madam Sage. To a wonderful harvest festival.

Rutile and Akira: Cheers!
