Death Guns In Another World

Meanwhile, as the girls were chatting and exchanging secrets, Alex and Leon, disguised, decided to tour a few bars.

They walked into their first bar, colonized the booth, and ordered a round of neat spirits. That was how they got the night started.

And now they are at their third bar. The two friends sat around a table in the bar. The wooden table was a rainbow in browns, the kind that brought sweet memories up for air. Mixed with the heavy scent of alcohol and smoke, this reminds you that this place was indeed a bar.

''Ah! I must admit that your bars were more likely than those on the human continent. I haven't visited every bar on the other side, but I'm sure my assumption was not wrong.'' Alex declared as he grabbed his drink and took a sip.

Leon, who had now disguised as an ordinary lion beastman, brown hair, and eyes, common color among the lion beastman. He chuckled and also grabbed his drink like his friend and took a sip.

The strong alcohol went down his throat.

''Well, you're not wrong. Beastmen are heavy drinkers. The only ones that could beat us are the dwarves who have gone extinct.'' Leon replied before taking another sip of the strong alcohol.

Alex also did the same; for a moment, there was a silence between them; only the hundreds of conversations told in loud voices, all of them competing with the rock music, could be heard.

Finally Alex said something he had always been curious about.

''Are you sure there aren't any surviving dwarfs left?"

Leon stayed silent for a moment as if organizing his thoughts before answering.

''Well, they must be some dwarf left, but as to where there are, I'm oblivious to this, and I can assure you that even they are, they wouldn't reach a thousand.''

The last part was said in the form of a whisper which made Alex curious.

''And why is that so?" He asked.

​ ''It is because rumor has it that like Mysthia cursed never to see God-level existence, the dwarves have been exterminated and cursed to be unable to reproduce,'' Leon explained.

''Pffft!" Alex spat his drink. What I just heard was too shocking not to react as he did. He had expected a lot of reasons but damn, getting cursed to be unable to reproduce? That was too vicious of a curse. It was to the extent that he wondered what they had done to piss off Bahamut to put this vicious curse on them on top of wiping them, leveling their entire continent.

''What did they do to make that dragon furious?" Alex asked, and Leon chuckled before he began explaining but first with a question.

''You know that dwarves are genius when it comes to creating things, right?"

Alex nodded, and Leon continued.

''From the record, they seemed to have created an artifact, a bow strong enough to pierce a hole in the dragon's wing, injuring the monster.''

''I see; no wonder he would wipe them out after what they did. Prideful as he was, he couldn't tolerate that. To cut the problem at its root, he annihilated them while cursing the survivors, those not present on the continent at that moment, to never having the ability to reproduce because he feared another genius creating a similar artifact or even more dangerous artifact. Well, if I were in his situation, I would have done the same thing as I'm doing this to protect myself.''

Alex emptied his cup as soon as he finished talking; he immediately ordered another one.

Meanwhile, Leon was smiling; he didn't find Bahamut's action despicable because only a fool would be compassionate when his life was on the line.

''You are right. We must never be compassionate when someone is after our life.''

''Yeah!'' Alex when suddenly remembered something and sighed heavily.

''What is it?" Leon asked as he felt like something was bothering his friend.

''Well, I'm thinking what awful friend am I.''

''Do develop.''

''You see, you know all my women, the future women as well, but I know nothing about your woman. So, please forgive me for never asking. However, now I'll do it. Who is your woman? Or do you have someone you love?"

To his friend's unexpected question, Leon was left speechless, he had never thought his friend would react like that because of something so trivial, but on further thought, he understood. Like a good friend that shares each other joy and sorrow, you must know who would be sharing your friend's life, especially if he did the same thing with you.

''Ah! Don't worry; it's nothing. You have a lot on your mind, so I understand, and to answer your question, I do have someone in mind, but it's quite complicated.''

''I see. Please explain; I may be of some help.'' Alex said, waiting for his friend to go into the details.

Leon did not immediately explain; he first emptied his cup before ordering another one and emptied it.

〖Seriously, how complicated this must be for him to act like this?〗Silveria wondered, but Alex had no way of answering this question, at least not until he heard the whole story.

After letting the strong alcohol run through his system, Leon began explaining.

''You know that our royalty rarely has the chance to choose who we want to spend the rest of our life with, right?"

Alex nodded; before coming to this world, he had read many stories about royalty marrying someone their parents had chosen.

''I'm the crown prince, the future ruler of this empire, so naturally, I don't have the right to choose, at least not the empress because while it's true that it was my family that created this empire and we continued to rule till this day, we are not the only family that makes this empire function, it was not only our family that pushed the Lionheart Empire to its current level. To show the other families that we have never forgotten about their efforts. Every emperor will choose from one of the three big families apart from the Lionheart family.''

Leon stopped and ordered another drink.
