Something that’ll really teach me?

(...Come to think of it, isn’t this guy still training his alcohol tolerance with Renga-san? Maybe it’s an energy drink or something.)

Wooow~, now you’ve got my attention. It’s gotta be good if it’s your go-to.

Not mine, dumbass. It’s Toi’s.

Ten Icon
Ten

Toi’s?

*Ryui pulls out some ingredients*

Ten Icon
Ten

……Milk and pink ice?

Ryui Icon
Ryui

It’s “Iced Strawberry Milk.”

If you pour iced strawberries and milk into a glass like this, you get ice-cold strawberry milk.

Glug…Glug…Glug…

Pwaah!

Man, nothing tops iced strawberry milk after a bath…!

Ten Icon

……

Wow, how cute.

Ryui Icon
Ryui

It’s what Toi’s into right now.

Ten Icon
Ten

Gotcha. So that’s what you meant when you said it’s for learning about Toi.

Are you hooked on that stuff too?

Ryui Icon
Ryui

Yeah, I guess. I started drinking it with Toi and sorta got used to it. Not like I hate sweet stuff anyway.

Oh, right. I gotta send some pictures too.

*Ryui takes a pic*

Ten Icon
Ten

Want me to snap them if you’re sending them to Toi? It’d be better if you were in them, right?

Ryui Icon
Ryui

I’m good.

More importantly, you wanna know Toi better? Drink this iced strawberry milk.

Ten Icon

Uhhh…

(The best drink after a bath is beer though…)

*Ryui gets a message*

Ryui Icon
Ryui

!

…Heh.

Ten Icon
Ten

Haha, looks like you got an instant reply.

Ryui Icon
Ryui

Oi, stop trying to change the fucking subject.

You’re the one that said you wanted to be better friends with Toi, asshole. Own it.

Ten Icon
Ten

Ehhh. But I think beer is……

Ryui Icon
Ryui

Can’t do it? Then I’ll beat your ass. All you gotta do is show some damn sincerity and drink the ultimate iced strawberry milk. Ain’t it simple?

Ten Icon
Ten

Whatever you say.

Ryui Icon
Ryui

Right, gimme a sec.

Ten Icon
Ten

(......Man, he started making it. My beer’s getting warm.)

Ryui Icon
Ryui

Toi likes it when I add condensed milk here…

Ten Icon

………

*Ten sneaks out*

Mmm. The night breeze after a bath.

Let’s have a drink here, shall we?

Ah, forgot the bottle opener. I’m such an idiot.

Ryui Icon
Ryui

Oi. Why you runnin’, Murakumo.

Guh.

Ryui Icon

It’s done. This is the “Cool and Rich Strawberry Milk Princess.” Don’t fucking spill it!

Ten Icon
Ten

Wooow, thaaanks.

……

Ryui Icon
Ryui

……What’s the holdup? I’m not leaving ‘til you drink it.

Ten Icon
Ten

……Alright then, just a little. Here goes.

Ten takes a sip*

Ten Icon
Ten

Sweeeeeeeet.

Ryui Icon
Ryui

This does a complete 180 on the common belief that the best drink after a bath is beer or coffee milk, doesn’t it? Toi’s a genius.

How ‘bout it, even a bastard like you can see how awesome Toi is now, right?

Ten Icon
Ten

Ahh, yeah. I guess…

(It doesn’t taste as bad as I thought.)

Ryui Icon
Ryui

And here. Take it.

*Ryui tosses something at Ten*

Ten Icon
Ten

A bottle opener?

Ryui Icon
Ryui

I’ll accept that you drank it.

Ten Icon
Ten

Wow~, how thoughtful. Good job, big bro.

Ryui Icon
Ryui

Gross. Aren’t we the same age?

Ten Icon
Ten

Ah~, how about we trade? I chug the strawberry milk in one go and you do the beer?

Ryui Icon
Ryui

Fuck off, that’s coercion. Kill yourself.

Ten Icon
Ten

Haha.
