Chapter 235 - Chapter 235 A Drinking Competition At The City of Adventur

Thomas stood up and said "I should get a move on, I'm sure the others are wondering why I'm taking so long." Sarah smiled and said "Remember to wake up early so you can get to the competition." Thomas stood at the door and said "Right." As Thomas arrived at the inn he glanced at Mary and Lily who were asleep. Mira stared at him and said "Its rather late." Thomas nodded and said "Yeah I know but I got a little held up." Mira pointed to his shoulder and asked "What about that?" Thomas covered it as he said "Just a little incident, I probably could've avoided it." Thomas pointed to his sword and said "I was actually just testing this out when it happened, some guy helped me out with improving it." Mira nodded and said "Mary mentioned someone by the name of Hammer." Thomas nodded and said "Yeah he was the one who improved the sword." As Thomas walked over to an empty bed and laid down Mira walked over to the bed and said "I heard they're having a festival tomorrow, if you'd like to go." Thomas yawned as he said "Sarah mentioned that to, she wants me to participate in the drinking competition." Mira laid down beside him and said "I can participate with you as well if you'd like." Thomas stared at her for a few moments silently as she asked "Is something wrong?" Thomas continued to stare at her as he said "There's four beds here why are you in the same one as me?" Mira smiled and said "Well you already agreed to marry me so it should be fine." Thomas stared at her and said "Well I uh, I guess your right." Mira nodded and said "Then I suggest you get to sleep and stop worrying about how many beds there are." As Thomas fell asleep he mumbled "I guess your right." As the run rose Thomas opened his eyes and mumbled "Heavy." Thomas glanced at his chest and seen both Mary and Lily laying on top of him. Thomas stared at them and mumbled "What are they doing?" Thomas glanced beside him and seen Mira's face inches away from his as mumbled "This happens too often." As Lily and Mary woke up they rubbed their eyes and stared at Thomas as they said "Good morning." Thomas laid there and said "Morning." As they got off of him Mira also woke up. Once they were all up Mira glanced at Mary and Lily as she said "That reminds me, I didn't tell you guys about the festival." Mary and Lily both smiled as they excitedly said "There's a festival!" Mira stared at Thomas and said "Thomas even said he'd participate in one of the competitions." Lily and Mary stared at him as they asked "What competition are you gonna participate in?" Thomas's face turned red as he said "Just a small competition." Mira smiled and asked "Are you still embarrassed about your alcohol fueled incidents?" Lily stared at him and said "Well he's definitely won this competition." Mary stared at Lily and asked "Is he really that good?" Lily nodded and said "The last time he drank at a festival he downed more then five drinks made by dwarfs." Mira stared at Thomas and said "Now that you mention it he did seem rather drunk at the orc festival, but I just assumed he got drunk off of normal booze." Thomas stared at them and said "Let's just forget about that." Lily smirked and said "I don't see why your so embarrassed, it's not like you were drunk for very long." Thomas stared at her and said "You May be right but I still had the hangover." As they all arrived at the festival Sarah waved to Thomas while shouting "Over here, me and Jules are waiting!" For Thomas glanced at Mira, Lily, and Mary as he said "I gotta go, I'll see you in a bit." As he sat down beside Sarah he asked "So how long is this gonna take?" Sarah smiled and said "It doesn't matter how long, all we have to do is sit here and out drink the other guilds." Thomas glanced at some other tables and said "Some of these guilds have more then a dozen people participating." Jules glanced at Thomas and said "I'm sure I can out drink three people by myself, I'm confident that I'm not some lightweight." As a Lady stood atop some boxes she shouted "Everyone met we have your attention, the drinking contest is about to start, please go to your guilds and prepare for the competition." Thomas glanced at Sarah and asked "Well what about you?" Sarah smiled and said "I can probably out drink one of the guilds on my own." Thomas smiled and said "How about we forget this competition and make it between me and you." Sarah smiled and said "Are you sure you can handle it?" As people with huge barrels of beer walked around to each table the lady shouted "Whichever guild finishes the most barrels wins, the time limit is sun down, may the best guild win the grand prize of ten gold coins!" Thomas and Sarah both grabbed a barrel as they said "Challenge accepted." Jules stared at each of them and said "Guys we don't need to out drink each other just the other guilds." Sarah glanced at Jules and said "What are you afraid that a women might hold her liquor better then you." Thomas jabbed a hole through the barrel and began to drink it as Jules said "Just relax you don't have to down it all in one go!" As Thomas set the barre down he smiled and said "That's a good start." Sarah smiled and said "I see your no amateur when it comes to drinking." As she did the same thing Thomas smiled and said "I guess not." Jules stared at the both of them and asked "Why aren't you two dazed in the slightest?" Sarah set the now empty barrel down as she said "I suppose as a rather seasoned adventure I became used to this type of thing." Thomas shrugged and said "Beats me, I got drunk off of just a barrel back in Meta." As two more barrels were rolled out the crowd and some of the people from the guilds all stared at Thomas and Sarah as they whispered amongst themselves "How can they still be fine after downing a whole keg?" Thomas and Sarah both grabbed another barrel as they smiled and shouted "I won't let you out drink me!" The lady who was standing atop the boxes glanced at Thomas and Sarah as she said "It seems as though the new guild that's been the talk of the town lately is absolutely dominating the competition with a two barrel lead despite having far less members then the other guilds." Jules grabbed a cup and began to drink beer from it after dumping it into a cup from the barrel. After around an hour there was thirty barrels piled up beside Sarah and Thomas. Thomas stared at Sarah and said "I h-have the lead." Sarah lowered her head onto the table and and mumbled "C-can't drink anymore." Thomas smiled and said "Guess I'll increase my lead." Jules stared at Thomas and said "Don't you think your pushing it?" Thomas glanced at him and asked "W-What are you talking about?" Jules pointed at the piles of barrels and said "We've clearly won." Thomas stared at them and said "But s-shouldn't we get a bigger lead?" Jules pointed to the other tables and said "You and Sarah literally drank three times more then everyone here combined." The lady walked over to Thomas and Sarah as she said "I don't think we need this competition to go on any longer, it's pretty obvious you guys won." The lady handed Jules a pouch with the ten gold coins in it as she said "You seem like your the most sober so I'm gonna count on you to get these two home or something." As Lily walked up onto the stage the lady glanced at her and said "Little miss I don't think you should be up here right now." Lily put her hands on Thomas's cheeks and said "Poppy I know you can hear me, make him sober." Thomas stared at her for a moment patiently waiting as Jules said "Like that would ever work." After a few seconds Thomas began to scream as he tossed his head back while holding onto it and shouting "Instant hangover!" Jules stared at him and asked "What's wrong with him?" Lily glanced at Jules and said "Poppy has control over most of his mental state so she can get rid of the effects of alcohol." Thomas glanced at Jules with a pained look as he asked "Did we win?" Jules nodded and said "We won by a mile." Thomas stood up while holding his head as he mumbled "I think I'm gonna be sick." Lily stared at him and said "If your gonna throw up go somewhere else!"
