NIGHTBIRD

Alpha

......
Oh....

-pg124-

Alpha

It's not often I get mail, even from Kokone.
She wrote a long letter, as usual.
She didn't mention the parcel that came with it until nearly the end.

-pg125-

Kokone

"Oh, yes. The parcel that's with this; I sent you some liquor."

Alpha

Liquor, hunh?

Kokone

"Alpha-san; last time you mentioned that you wanted to get better a
processing milk."
"Mix this coffee liquor with milk to break it down some."
"It's very sweet; I think you'll like it."

Alpha

I can only have a drop, Kokone...
You forgot the most important part of the milk conversation...

-pg126-

Alpha

Well, it's not like I hate liquor...
I just can't hold it.
!

-pg128-

Alpha

Alright then! Let's give it a shot!
After all, you never know...
Maybe this stuff will help me get used to milk!
Cafe au lait always makes me feel ill...

-pg129-

Alpha

..........
Ulp.
That's so good!! Just as she said.
R-right! This is only my first try!

-pg130-

Alpha

Warm evening, isn't it...

-pg131-

Alpha

Ahh...I never knew how much I love both liquor and milk!

-pg132-

Alpha

........
My body...it's still doin' okay.

-pg133-

Alpha

Unh...
I knew it...it's no good.

-pg134-

Alpha

Hunh?

-pg135-

Alpha

I'm flying...ah, this dream again.
I see, I went and feel asleep again.
Good thing I closed the store...
The wind...
It's so refreshing...
I never mixed the milk with anything before...

-pg136-

Alpha

Mm.

Cover

Domestic soy beans

Alpha

.......In the morning, the sunlight hit my eyes.
.......uh...
.......where...?
Ah...I can't handel either alchol or milk yet...not at all.
