Chapter 200 I’m not drunk ~ (Ch 200)

Logically speaking, Akira Mado should have refused directly. After all, he had rejected the invitations from Yukinori Shinohara and Ui Gun before. But this time, Akira Mado agreed?

If Mado Akira refuses, Tianyu Baiye can also directly decline.

This time, Mado Akira agreed…

Although it’s a bit embarrassing, it’s not something difficult to do.

“Okay, but I guess I’ll only eat a moderate amount.”

Tianyu Baiye’s train of thought suddenly came to his senses.

The choices are not just acceptance and rejection. He can choose to accept but eat less, so that he will not fail to fulfill his promise with Kamishiro Rize.

“Oh! Tianyu Shang also agreed!”

To the young girl’s surprise, they went to a nearby nightclub.

We ordered some wine and some BBQ skewers inside and sat down to drink and chat.

“Oh… Really, when will I be able to be promoted to a second-class investigator~”

After drinking for a while, the young girl suddenly started complaining, and her tone sounded a little drunk.

“It seems that Xiaoyu is already drunk.”

The middle-aged man who was the boss at the side said with a smile: “Xiao Yu’s alcohol tolerance is actually very poor. I’m sorry to embarrass you.”

After the casual chat just now, Tianyu Baiye already had a general idea of ​​the two of them.

The drunk young girl was Xiao Lin Yu, a third-class investigator who had just joined the job for less than a year.

His superior is Senior Investigator Nakamura Yoshino.

Normally speaking, Kobayashi Yu would not be able to be promoted to a second-class investigator within a year. After all, apart from Amane Byakuya, the only ones who could achieve this speed of promotion were Arima Takamasa and Suzuya Juuzou.

Even most investigators are still stuck at the “first class” position until retirement, which shows that it is not easy to get promoted in CCG.

“It’s okay, as long as you enjoy drinking.”

Tianyu Baiye said casually.

“Promotion is not something that the Inspector has to care about.”

At this time, Mado Akira, who was sitting next to Tianyu Baiye, suddenly spoke.

“Mado-kun, I also want to have my own ‘Quinque’ like you!”

Xiao Linyu’s face, which was slightly red due to being drunk, showed an expression of envy, and her eyes were flashing with expectation.

Even though she was already drunk, she poured herself another drink, as if she was drowning her sorrows in alcohol.

“Nakamura-san, why don’t you persuade Kobayashi-san to drink less?”

Tianyu Baiye immediately asked Nakamura Yoshino.

“It’s okay. Xiaoyu is like this all the time. No matter how drunk she is, she will be completely fine the next day. I have restricted her to drinking only once a week, so let her drink to her heart’s content.”

Nakamura Yoshino said.

Tianyu Baiye didn’t say anything more.

But it should be said that it is normal for a new investigator to want to be promoted, but promotion is not always a good thing…

“With promotion comes more responsibilities. Even if you don’t want to do something, you have to do it. In comparison, having a strong will and clear goals is the most important thing. The position is secondary.”

At this time, Mado Akira sipped his wine glass and said lightly.

However, when Madoka was halfway through his speech, Xiaolin Yu had already fallen drunk and seemed to have fallen asleep on the table. It is estimated that she did not hear what Madoka said to her, and even if she heard it, she might have forgotten it the next day.

“……”

Seeing his subordinates drinking like this, Nakamura Yoshino was already used to it, and smiled awkwardly, “Then I’ll take Xiaoyu back first, and Tianyu Shangshang and Zhenhu Erdeng should also rest early.”

“Okay, then walk slowly.”

Tianyu Baiye nodded.

Afterwards, Nakamura Yoshino helped Kobayashi Yu back.

Seeing that Mado Akira was still drinking, Tianyu Baiye looked at the time and saw that it was only around 8:30, so he was not in a hurry to go back.

He just drank a little and ate a few skewers of barbecue, but it seemed that Mado Akira had drunk quite a lot, right?

If he remembered correctly, Mado Akira wasn’t a very good drinker either.

“Xiao, you should drink less too.”

At this time Tianyu Baiye gave some advice.

“Um…”

Mado Akira responded casually.

Tianyu Baiye couldn’t help but glance at Mado Akira, and found that Mado Akira’s eyes obviously didn’t look as energetic as usual, and his condition was a little abnormal.

“You…what’s that look?”

At this moment, Mado Akira noticed Tianyu Baiye’s gaze, rested his elbows on the table, lowered his head and glanced at him.

It seems that Mado Akira’s keen intuition is still there, but there is no doubt that he is drunk.

“Is promotion really unimportant, in your opinion?”

Tianyu Baiye spoke tentatively.

The purpose was to test whether Mado Akira was drunk.

“……”

Mado Akira was silent for a while, then he spoke: “Dad has the ability and enough achievements, but now he is still in the position of ‘senior investigator’. Because of this, some guys in CCG look down on him and laugh at him as a ‘stupid Quinque maniac’ who will never be promoted. Dad never explained to others, he only told me that revenge has nothing to do with position, as long as there is a firm will and a clear goal, you will succeed…”

“You just mentioned that promotion also brings responsibilities and burdens, so Mr. Mado probably doesn’t want to be promoted for this reason, not because he is not qualified for promotion, right?”

Tianyu Baiye responded.

“Yes, you know my father well.”

Mado Akira smiled bitterly, “But I don’t really agree with this. Although Dad is crazy about revenge on the ‘One-Eyed Owl’ who killed Mom, he has always taken good care of me. He probably gave up the promotion for me…”

“……”

Tianyu Baiye was basically certain that Mado Akira was drunk.

From the words and tone she used, you could tell that she didn’t usually talk like that.

“If he had been promoted to a position commensurate with his merits, instead of considering me, he wouldn’t have been laughed at by those guys, and he might even have achieved the revenge he’s been obsessed with.”

Mado Akira continued to confide, “I actually hope that I can be independent sooner so that my father doesn’t have to worry about me all the time. So even though I just said those things to Xiaoe, I still hope to get promoted as soon as possible.”

“Little goose? Wait, the girl just now was called Xiaoyu, Xiaolinyu.”

Tianyu Baiye immediately corrected him: “So, Xiao, you are indeed drunk, right?”

“I’m not drunk~”

Mado Akira immediately denied it.

But her tone betrayed her.

“Drunk people generally won’t admit that they are drunk. Stop drinking while you are still conscious. It’s time to go home…”

However, before Tianyu Baiye could finish his words, he saw Mado Akira collapsed on the table with a dazed look on his face.

“Hey…Xiao…don’t fall asleep yet!…”
