Chapter 358: A Drunk Kana
[AN: Last week's bonus Chapter 5/5]
Kana looked at the menu she was just given. Her eyes scanned the page until it stopped on the most important four letters in her life. M.E.A.T. "I will take four orders of this here and then for a drink…. I will have four mugs of this fruit ale."
The waitress looked at Kana a little funny when she heard the last part. "Miss, The fruit ale is very strong. Just one mug can get even the mightiest of men drunk."
"Mmm, four is fine. Also, bring out a bunch of snacks as well." Kana was in a cheery mood. She had never really drank any alcohol before, so this was going to be a new experience for her. She looked around at the men, who all seemed to be sailors. Some were trying to sneak peeks at her, while others were bluntly staring at her. She sneered at these dirty men and decided to just ignore them.
An hour later... "Ahahaha! Fear me! I am a mighty dragon!" Kana stood with a mug of fruit ale in her hand, opened her mouth, and shot a stream of flames towards the sailors. Screams were heard as people began piling out of the inn as flames followed behind, shooting out of the door. The whole building suddenly caught on fire. Aoi and Naru, who were sitting on her shoulder, were also cheering her on. They seemed to have been a wee drunk themselves.
Kana looked around, her eyes heavy. All she saw was flames. She hiccuped and squinted her eyes. "Which bastard set this place on fire!?" Kana got off the table she was on and wandered to where the bar was, and found a big keg of fruit wine. She picked it up and walked out of the building with it in her hand. When she got outside and saw the crowd, she hiccuped again and yelled while pointing at the inn. "Which of you bastards set the place on fire!? I didn't even get to finish my meat! Who was it!? Speak up now, and I promise I will only... hiccup! I will only burn your toes off..."
The crowd all looked at her with a funny expressions. Not only was she the one who set the inn on fire, but she was threatening to burn people's toes off! Why the toes!? Kana gazed at the crowd as she punched a hole into the keg in her arms and lifted it up, and gulped down more fruit ale. She stumbled a bit as she wiped her mouth and looked at the crowd pointing at them. "If no one fesses up, then I will just burn all your toes!"
"This damn beastkin is crazy! Run, or she will burn your toes off!" Someone finally yelled.
The whole group of people quickly began running in different directions, but they soon found themselves trapped as a black wall and blue wall appeared in front of them, courtesy of Naru and Aoi. From behind to their horror, they heard a hiccup, and Kana say: "Hehe! No escape until we find out who burnt the inn down! "
The group of people all wanted to cry out: 'It was you who did it!' But they dared not to, or more than just their toes would be burnt off.
Finally, unable to hold back any more, one man yelled out. "It was this waitress here who said she hated her job!"
"You bastard! When did I ever say that!" The woman yelled and smacked the man. "Are you not supposed to be my husband!"
"Humph! Just give it up. You will only lose your toes!" The man yelled back.
"You! You!" The lady was so mad she couldn't even form words!
Kana rubbed her head as she yelled: "Shut up! Those who are first to accuse are the culprit! Come here, let this aunty burn your toes off. I promise it won't hurt a bit. It will be so fast you wouldn't even know what happened."
The whole crowd was not sure they should be laughing or screaming in fright. All they knew was they needed to move away from the man now! The woman snorted and ran to join the rest leaving the man whose face was pale behind to face Kana, who seemed to be giggling at absolutely nothing. "No, wait! It really wasn't me! Miss, it was you who did it!"
Kana paused her steps and looked at the man as if she had just stepped in shit. "Why the fuck would I burn down the inn when I was happily drinking and eating meat!? Do you know the crime of interrupting me eating my meat!? Your toes will be burnt off!"
The man just looked at Kana shaking in fear before he could say more, he watched as Kana took a deep breath and... "Urp… I feel sick. Blegh!" A rainbow shot out of her mouth and drenched the man. Kana let out a chuckle as she wiped her mouth and took another swig of fruit wine. "Now, where was I? Hmmm? Sir, you should really take a shower… But anyway, time to burn your toes!"
The man felt so wronged! He could only watch helplessly as a wave of flames roared to him and engulfed his entire body. The man did not even scream as he turned to ash. Kana burped loudly as the flame stopped and looked around. But when she saw the buildings in front of her on fire, her face turned red with anger. "Which bastard lit the damn city on fire!?"
The crowd of people wanted to scream: "You! You idiot!" But they dared not to because they did not want their toes to be burnt. If they got their toes burnt, there would be nothing left of them!
That night Free Port City had many unexplained fires. Half the city was burnt to the ground but what made things funny was that no one seemed to know how the fire started. Even though hundreds of people bore witness to the fire starting. No one would say who caused it. As for the culprit of this massive fire, she was down at the docks passed out with an empty keg at her side. On her stomach were two little elementals who were also sleeping soundly. The people who walked by did not even dare to look in the direction of the peacefully sleeping beautiful girl. They all tucked their toes in and quickly walked past fearing that they might get their toes burnt.
