The next morning.
He woke up to a familiar ceiling.
“Ugh, my head…”
He only had a glass of beer, why the hangover?
Never drinking again.
Why did people enjoy such a bitter and tasteless thing?
He tried to pull the blanket over his head when he felt something soft on both sides.
He turned his head and saw Luna on his left.
He turned the other way and saw Yui on his right.
A King Slime on the left.
A Small Slime on the right.
Another world is the best!
Even though his head was pounding, his mood was amazing.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
After another round of sleep.
“My head…”
It hurt even more.
He felt even worse than before.
This was a hangover?
He felt nauseous too.
What a lightweight body this was.
He hadn’t drunk alcohol in his past life either, but he was certain that he didn’t get hangovers like this.
He had gotten the Status Abnormal Resistance skill, right?
‘Status.’

When was the last time he checked?
He couldn’t remember.
It seemed to have piled up.
A weird image flashed in his mind, it was so disgusting that he wanted to vomit, so he quickly erased it.
He invested all the points into strength.
‘System. Explanation.’
A blue window appeared.
◈ Skill Information
Name: Status Abnormal Resistance
Rank: B+
Description: Resists various status abnormalities such as poison, paralysis, curse, and slow.
The description was short and concise.
‘But… it said all status abnormalities…’
Wasn’t a hangover a status abnormality?
“Ugh…”
“Are you okay, Luke?”
“Who are you?”
“…Luna.”
“I know.”
Luna looked at him with an indifferent expression.
“You seem fine, acting strange as usual.”
“Luna. I think I’m possessed by a demon. Help me.”
“…It’s just a hangover.”
“There’s no way a mere hangover could stop a manly man like me.”
He must be possessed!
“If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll scream in your ear.”
“Stop!!”
Luna was learning.
“Where’s Yui?”
“She went to get you honey water.”
*Creak.*
Speak of the devil.
“Are you okay, Luke?”
“No.”
“Um… what can I do for you?”
“Feed it to me.”
A beautiful woman feeding him would be honey water.
“Uh, umm…”
“He’s joking, you don’t have to.”
“Oh.”
He wasn’t joking.
That’s a shame.
“Here’s your honey water.”
“Thanks.”
He took it and drank it.
It wouldn’t cure him immediately, but he’d feel better after some time.
“Alright. Let’s go to work.”
“Are you sure? Do you want to rest some more?”
“I only had a glass.”
“And who was it that passed out after just one glass…?”
“Ahem.”
It was his first time drinking!
He’d develop a tolerance.
He had read it somewhere.
“I’ll just go by myself then!”
“We’re going…”
He got up.
He got dressed in ten seconds.
Undressing quickly was a basic skill for men.
They headed for the guild. His routine had become wake up, go to the guild, do requests, eat, and sleep.
Murmur, murmur.
The guild was noisy.
This guild is always like this.
Was there a monthly event?
He had to go find Adela.
“Adela.”
“Oh, Luke! Welcome.”
“What’s with the noise?”
“An A-rank monster appeared near the sea. They’re recruiting adventurers for a raid.”
The noise made him feel nauseous again.
“Ah… I see.”
“Um, Luke, are you okay? You look pale…”
“Do I?”
He needed to cure this hangover.
“Excuse me, I need to excuse myself for a moment.”
“…What?”
“Blegh! Ugh!”
“Kya!”
A tip for vomiting:
If you shake your head up and down as you vomit, you can make a wide spread like a zombie from Metal Slug.
***
After throwing up, he felt better.
His headache remained, but it would be gone soon.
“Huu… I feel better.”
“…Glad to hear it.”
Adela glared at him.
He had cleaned it up himself.
“Excuse me. I had a drink last night.”
“Did ‘excuse me’ become ‘I’m going to puke’?”
“I wasn’t feeling well. Should I have called in sick?”
“…Adventurers don’t call in sick. Just rest.”
That was one of the advantages.
“By the way, the Guild Master wants to see you. Can you go to his office?”
“Me?”
“Yes.”
“Really?”
“…Yes.”
“Why? I didn’t do anything this time.”
“…Don’t assume it’s about you doing something wrong.”
It was suspicious that he was being called for the first time.
He went to the Guild Master’s office.
People parted ways for him as he walked.
“Moses?”
“They’re just avoiding you…”
“Why?”
“In case you throw up.”
“I only did it once.”
He pretended to gag, and everyone ran away.
He repeated it until the path was clear.
Knock, knock.
He didn’t wait for an answer.
“…I didn’t give you permission to enter.”
“Should I go back and knock?”
“Sigh… since you’re here, take a seat.”
They sat on the sofa.
Argo sat opposite them.
“Why did you call us?”
“Are you interested in a raid?”
So it was the raid.
A raid usually meant a lot of people attacking one monster.
“What kind of raid?”
“Don’t you need to discuss it with your party members…?”
“They’ll follow me. If they don’t, I’ll go alone.”
If they didn’t want to go, he didn’t mind. But he wanted to go.
“It’s a Sea Serpent.”
He had heard of it before.
He had died in a sea serpent attack when he was playing a game and alt-tabbed to watch YouTube.
“It suddenly appeared and is blocking trade routes. It’s urgent.”
“We’re C-rank.”
“You’re here for the B-rank promotion exam. If you participate in the raid and do well, you’ll be promoted.”
“Is that allowed? A C-rank in an A-rank raid?”
“You’d have passed the B-rank exam anyway. I’m counting you as a B-rank.”
He liked it when they weren’t strict. It was more fun that way.
“Any more details?”
“B-rank and higher adventurers are gathering at the nearest port. There’s an A-rank adventurer in charge. Show them my letter of recommendation.”
Argo handed them a scroll.
“When do we leave?”
Hopefully not now.
“It’s in a week. Prepare here or there.”
At least he had a conscience. He wasn’t making them leave right away.
“The rewards are decent, right?”
“It depends on your performance.”
“How do I get more?”
“The base is 3 gold coins per person. Additional rewards are given depending on contribution, which will be decided by the A-rank adventurer in charge.”
So he just had to suck up to him.
Three gold coins per person? That was nine gold coins for his party. Enough to live on for a year.
“Okay, see you in a week. I’ll handle it.”
He grabbed the scroll and left the room.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
suck up to him? Is Luke even capable of doing that
He easily sucked up to the Guildmaster. I don’t see why he can’t XD.
Only when he’s showing proper respect and he doesn’t get on Luke’s bad side…
Guess not investing into his other stats has come back to bite him…
