The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 208 Beer and Barbecue

"Advanced cooking magic? Then I can apply for the Gourmet Witch title badge at the clan guild, right?" Vasita said in surprise.

“Okay! We’ll apply together after graduation,” Moran said.

The witch clan has set up various magical titles, which can be applied for as long as the corresponding magic reaches the advanced level or above.

Among witches, titles and badges are like professional certificates, and they are recognized to a certain extent among some other races.

"I wonder if I can level up my plant magic to the advanced level and get the title of Nature Witch before graduation!" Sylph said. "It would be even better if I could get the title of Green Witch, or even the title of Potion Witch."

She has decided to prioritize learning plant magic, wood magic, and alchemy magic, which complement her witch talents.

However, there are many types of plant magic, and it's not easy to learn them all to a high level and obtain the title of Nature Witch.

The Green Witch has even more wood-based magic abilities.

There is only one potion-making magic, but the knowledge of potions and the techniques involved are no easier to learn than magic itself.

“Nothing is impossible. There are still four years!” Moran said.

It's always better to have lofty goals. Her goal is to upgrade all the witch spells she's learned to the advanced level before graduation!
As they chatted, the lawn fell silent.

Once the aroma of the barbecue filled the air, the moon and stars lost their beauty.

Drawn by the aroma, I sat up and sat by the fire, silently swallowing my saliva as I watched the roasting lamb being turned over.

"Shall we have some beer to whet our appetites?" Moran took out a card, twirled it, and it vanished, revealing four crystal-clear green bottles on the ground. She handed one to each of them: "These have a low alcohol content, so you won't get drunk easily."

"A wine bottle made of emeralds? That's too extravagant!" Lilith shook the bottle.

“It’s just green glass,” Moran said.

"Is this glass? The color is so beautiful!" Sylph looked at the beer bottle in the firelight.

"How do I open this lid?" Vasita was getting impatient; she had never drunk alcohol before! Her witch mother was very protective of her wine, and there was no wine available at the academy.

When she saw the metal bottle cap, she instinctively twisted it with her hand: "Open...opened?"

The bottle opener, which had just flown from the mobile kitchen cabinet, paused in mid-air, then changed direction and landed on Lilith's bottle cap, locking it in place and pressing it down to open the cap.

"So this is for opening bottles!" Vasita had no idea what this little gadget was for.

"You don't need it anymore, you can open a beer bottle with your bare hands!" Moran also tried to open it by hand. He had been using the health supplement card for a while, but he still couldn't open it.

The effects of these cards require accumulation over time to become apparent.

The four little witches raised their bottles and toasted, taking their first sip of alcohol in their lives.

Vasita: "So this is what alcohol tastes like! It's not very good!"

“I think it’s pretty good,” Lilith said. “But it would be even better if it were red. Green wine always feels a bit strange, like vegetable juice.”

“Green is the best; it looks so natural!” Sylph said.

Vasita disagreed, saying, "Reds and greens are nothing compared to the allure of deep black!"

As they talked about wine, they started arguing about colors.

"Actually, this beer is yellow." Moran sighed and made a colored glass beer mug card on the spot according to everyone's hair color: "Now we have red, green, and black ones!"

Lilith poured the wine into a red glass: "That feels better now. I wish all the tableware in the mobile kitchen was like this!" "If you really want it, you can bring me the cards and I'll rework them for you and replace them all with red glass tableware." Moran didn't mind earning a little more magic power.

"It really works!" Lilith didn't hesitate and was about to take out her {Mobile Kitchen Card} to be reworked. She was no longer the little witch who used to be so meticulous about every penny!

“But if you change the material, all the stains you’ve done on the tableware before won’t count!” Moran added.

"..." Lilith hesitated for a long time before choosing practicality over beauty. However, she still couldn't bear to part with the glassware that could turn the liquid inside red: "Moran, release a separate blood-red glassware set card! I'll definitely buy it!"

“I want a green one!” Sylph said. “It would be even better if it had some flowers and plants on it.”

Upon hearing this, Vasita also wanted one: "Then I want the black one with a starry sky pattern!"

“Customization will come at a different price!” Moran said.

"Do we look like we're short of money?" Lilith raised her chin and snorted.

"I'll give you the design drawings in a couple of days! For now, let's have some drinks!" Moran said.

The idea that someone would faint after drinking is not something that happens to witches or sorceresses.

They are naturally resistant to alcohol and can easily get tipsy, but they will never get so drunk that they are unconscious.

Previously, Shana's mother wouldn't let her taste Valen's wine, and she thought that Valen also had a rule against minors drinking alcohol.

It wasn't until she was browsing through various miscellaneous books in the first-grade library during her vacation that she learned the truth from a book that explored the relationship between alcohol and witches' magical powers.

Whether alcohol promotes the growth of a witch's magical power is not conclusive in this book; it is merely a conjecture.

However, the making of Valen's fine wines requires the participation of magic and alchemical vessels, and they are not cheap. It is true that witches with limited funds have to drink them sparingly.

Wine was a symbol of the witch's wealth.

So it's not that underage witches can't drink alcohol; Shana's mother didn't have many bottles of good wine, and it was just that she couldn't bear to give her any.

We'd already drunk almost half a bottle of wine when the roast lamb was finally ready.

The small knife sliced ​​off the lamb, a plate was brought forward to catch it, and the fork rested on the plate before flying towards Moran and the others.

The aroma of the meat is irresistible; one side is crispy and fragrant, while the other is tender and soft. One bite brings satisfaction from the tip of your tongue to your stomach.

"It smells so good! This is the best roast meat I've ever had!" Lilith had only taken one bite when she thought the lamb was a little small.

If all barbecued meat tasted like this, she could eat a whole lamb by herself!

"The roasted shiitake mushrooms are ready too!"

The entire mushroom baking tray flew over.

Moran was the first to reach for the fork on the baking tray. She had eaten roasted lamb with green plums many times before, only not a whole roasted lamb.

This flavor is just the basics.

She'd been craving shiitake mushrooms for a long time, though.

"One bite and all my fatigue from today is gone!" Vasita said, squinting her eyes.

My cat was doing parkour on the table and messed up the keyboard. It either wouldn't connect or it would just start typing randomly when I opened it. I spent ages trying to fix it but couldn't. I managed to type out a chapter on my phone, but typing on a phone is slow and it's inconvenient to look at the settings document. I'm not sure if I can write a second chapter today, so I'm just posting this one first.
