The Max Level Hero Has Returned!-Chapter 1148.2

Chapter 1148.2
The game character staggered drunkenly, only to get struck by an enemy sword and collapse.
Evangeline went blank. “Why would anyone even drink in the first place?! That stuff tastes awful!”
Evangeline, after her second awakening, had become effectively immune to alcohol’s effects. The alcohol in drinks, essentially a mild poison for normal humans, was instead instantly neutralized by her body’s natural detoxification ability. In her experience, alcohol was nothing more than bad-tasting water with no effect.
[Cocktails are delicious, though.]
[You'll get it when you're older.]
[Kids shouldn’t even be trying it, y’know!!]
Anytime drinks were brought up, the viewers teased her relentlessly.
“I don’t get drunk, no matter how much I drink, okay?! My body automatically neutralizes alcohol!” She puffed in frustration.
[Ah...]
[Oof that’s brutal.]
[You can’t get drunk? Won’t understand the joy of alcohol? You’re missing out on life.]
[How many years of your youth are you wasting like that, chatter above me?]

Honestly, Evangeline was curious about what it felt like to be drunk. However, she also knew that she would get in huge trouble if she ever tried, so she didn’t touch the stuff.
“Anyway, I just don’t get the appeal of alcohol.”
[Right, right. Don’t drink. That’s best.]
[Eva is just a baby. We must protect...]
[Waaah waaaah]
They were clearly mocking her.
Grinding her teeth, she seriously considered chugging some just to spite them. In the end, however, she just shook her head. She wasn’t about to down grossly bitter water just to prove a point.
“Whatever. I physically can’t get drunk, so I can’t relate. I’m just gonna draw,” she said as she picked up her pen.
[By the way, what happened to that elf and the Saint’s guard? Weren’t they on Earth?]
The two had caused quite the stir despite their brief appearance on stream. As such, the viewers who had caught them live were now curious.
[Yeah, that elf was kinda... not what you'd expect.]
[My whole perception of elves is ruined.]
Evangeline thought about the elves around her. “They’re not all like that! Yuria is just... a little unique. Every other elf I know is nice!”
While she didn’t know too many, her dragon eye had shown her that Jack was, in fact, Aina Helishana. There was also Yuria Helishana and Emilia, the Saintess of the Divine Tree who’d visit for matters regarding the Divine Tree.
Thinking it over, Aina seemed to enjoy being the target of weird situations, and Yuria had shocking culinary preferences. Emilia had been acting strange as well. Evangeline had thought she was normal at first, yet recently she had begun crying alone in corners or having long emotional conversations with rocks.
“Wait. Why is every single elf around me weird?”
The chat exploded with laughter.
[LOL]
[She can’t think of one normal elf around her hahaha]
[Such an enigmatic species, wouldn’t you say?]
[Didn’t the Saint of Tionis once call elves crazy pointy-eared weirdos or something lol]
[LMAOOO]
Even as Yuria’s reputation plummeted, Evangeline didn’t bother defending her. She still hadn’t completely forgiven her for what she had done to her the last time.
That was when she heard a fight happen. She knew there was only one duo who’d make a disturbance during her stream.
It was Rinne and Yuria, of course.
Evangeline shot to her feet. “Stop fighting!”
She darted off, and the chat burst out laughing once more.
[Honestly, putting something vulgar on perfect, pristine cheese pizza is worthy of violence. #TeamRinne.]
[She ate the last piece of sweet and sour pork that had no sauce on it without asking! Don’t you dare downplay our Yuria. #TeamYuria all the way.]
The viewers quickly split into two sides, fully informed of the conflict’s context thanks to Evangeline having vented to them earlier in the day.
[Wait. But can you believe that Boss poured sauce on her sweet and sour pork?]
[Now that you mention it, she did do that.]
[Unforgivable.]
The chat launched a whole debate of its own before Evangeline eventually returned. She stormed in and slammed a glass bottle that seemed to contain some sort of sauce onto the desk.
The chat was filled with question marks.
“I had to confiscate this from them. Rinne brought this really good sauce, and they started fighting over whether to heat it up or chill it with ice. Like, are you kidding me? They’re not children!”
[That’s personal preference.]
[Wait... you can chill or heat dipping sauce?!]
“I don’t know what this sauce even tastes like...”
Evangeline stared blankly at the bottle with an annoyed face. Letting out a grumble, she popped open the unlabeled sauce bottle and gave it a sniff. An aromatic, fragrant sweetness wafted up and tickled her nose.
“
Whoa.
It smells good!”
[Wait wait wait]
[What does it smell like?]
“It smells like peaches, but not your usual peach. It’s really clean and fresh.” She gave the bottle a little shake, sniffing it again. “Should I try it?”
[FriedOrbamu has donated 69,420 Won]
- Just try a little drop. No one eats a bunch of sauce without anything to eat it on.
Seeing the donation, she glanced at the chat, then back at the bottle.
“
Hmmm.
Should I?”
She then took a sip.
“
Whoa...
This is delicious!”
Her eyes sparkled in astonishment at the taste she had never experienced before. It was sweet and flavorful, but not in a way that was overwhelming. She took another sip, the scent and taste blooming in her mouth.
“So good...”
[What sauce is it?]
“I’m not sure. It looks like some kind of fruit sauce, but it’s way different from normal peach sauces.”
She examined the bottle closely, then noticed a small, faded label stuck to the base.
“
Hmm.
Nir... vana sauce?” she muttered before she set the bottle down again. “
Oh!
I remember now! My dad has a drink he loves with a similar name! Nirvana wine, I think it was. He never lets me near it.”
[Alcohol that the Saint drinks? What’s wrong with the name tho LOLS]
[Nirvana wine?? What, do you drink it and reach nirvana or something? LMAO]
“My dad loves both amrita and nirvana wine, but he never lets me touch either. There was this one time someone gave me a drink back at the territory, and he lost it. Since then, the maids won’t even let me anywhere near any drinks.”
Evangeline giggled, swaying slightly with flushed cheeks. “
Huh.
Why do I feel so giddy all of a sudden...?”
Her cheeks had turned pink.
“
Puh-heh.
”
[???]
[What the heck???]
“
Puh-hehehehe.
” She giggled, her head tilting lazily to the side. Her eyes were glassy, cheeks glowing—anyone could see she was completely lost in the alcoholic sauce.
[Wait, is it even possible to get drunk on sauce??]
[Some people get a caffeine buzz from cola, but for our boss who wouldn’t even get drunk from soju to be acting like this is weird.]
“Evewyone! You all knooow I wuv you, wight?” She talked in a cute tone, and the chat erupted at her unusual demeanor.
Rinne and Yuria, who had originally brought the nirvana wine and sauce for their culinary experimentation, became victims of their own chaos. They’d lost the sauce during their fight, and while the wine had remained in their hands, Evangeline ended up taking away their key ingredient.
Sure, her taking the sauce shouldn’t have been a problem. Yet for someone like her, who wasn’t a full-fledged dragon, the sauce’s effects were extremely strong on her.
Their karmic debt grew insidiously. Death’s shadow inched closer, yet Rinne and Yuria remained completely unaware.
“Evewyone!!! I feel sooooo good! Wanna see me dance?”
Evangeline stood up and began doing a clumsy little waddling dance. It was the kind of thing she’d never do with a sober mind, but the Evangeline in that moment was in such a good mood that nothing could stop her.
Her drunk tendencies were beginning to show. To the viewers, it was a divine blessing.
“Oh my! Evangeline... Did you drink this?”
“
Ehehe,
hey Yuria!!”
She staggered forward and clung tightly to Yuria, who was completely flustered. The elf looked around in a panic and gently guided her to the nearby bed to lay her down, but Evangeline sprang back up and clung to her again.
“
Whew!
She’s clearly overwhelmed by the fruit essence.”
[Getting drunk from sauce...?]
“This normally wouldn’t have happened, but Rinne kept mixing stuff into it to suit her taste. This one she made is a bit stronger than the other ones, and contains fruit that elevates a dragon’s mood. Now, how do I shut this down...?”
[Wait, Yuria, are you seriously ending it now?]
[You can’t just bail like that!!]
Her eyes narrowed at the flood of pleas. “
Hmmm.
I guess I’m not supposed to end it now? I can’t just leave it running, either...”
She clapped her hands lightly after an idea struck her. “Then I’ll just finish the stream for her until she falls asleep! She’s in a good mood now, but she’ll knock out soon.”
Smiling warmly, Yuria had a spirit bring over a small basket.
“I actually made something delicious, so I’ll share it with you all. Technically, I can’t let Gracious Savior see me doing this, but what are the odds he’s actually watching this stream?”
Unaware that she had just opened the gates of hell, Yuria happily started to engage with the chat. “
Ta-da!
Looks delicious, right?”
[What kind of meat is that?]
“If it tastes good, that’s all that matters!”
[We don’t mind, just give our boss a bite too. Look at her, practically begging for it LOLS]
Smiling sweetly, Yuria picked up what appeared to be a dumpling and popped it into Evangeline’s mouth. Her smile grew even brighter as a result. In fact, it was so radiant that it made the viewers smile along with her.
The ingredients Yuria had used were questionable at best, but their presentation was dangerously appetizing. She had successfully stirred up the chat’s interest in her food. She brought out more food, the viewers commented on how hungry they were and how much they wanted to try her food.
Then a donation alert popped up.
[FriedOrbamu has donated 69,420 Won]
- Is it really okay to leave the boss like that? The Saint of Tionis is probably going to flip if he finds out.
Seeing the concerned message, Yuria gave a bright smile. “Don’t worry! Right now, Gracious Savior is way too busy hunting down whoever made those dark mage cursed items.”
[Dark mage cursed items?]
“Yup! Something bad people make. One of them turned out to be fake, though, made with armored boar blood instead of human blood. Now he’s all occupied trying to figure out who made the fake one. Lucky for us, right?” she said casually.
Turning her attention back to the stream, she saw that another message had come in from the same viewer.
[Wait, did you just say armored boar blood? Funny, I never said anything about that, so how do you know?]
Uh oh.
Yuria froze as if she had turned into a statue.
