Chiaki Kujo walked up to Genya with two glasses of champagne and handed one of them to him.
"Although that old guy Junichi Urata has never done much human work in his life, he knows how to enjoy this guy." Chiaki Kujo sighed, "Come on, have some of Haxue's dry champagne, although it's nothing. It’s a very high-end product, but it’s definitely more sophisticated than the roadside soju we two are going to drink next.”
"Does Mr. Kujo know a lot about champagne?" Genya shook the slender goblet, watched the light bending in the translucent liquid, and began to think about whether he should drink this glass of wine.
It’s not that I’m worried that Chiaki Kujo will tamper with the wine. The main reason is that Genya didn’t touch wine much either before or after the time travel. The only few opportunities he had to try it were all distilled liquors consumed for social purposes. I haven’t even had red wine a few times, let alone champagne.
But for some reason, Yuan Ye suddenly wanted to try it.
"I know a little bit about it. After all, you are in our line of work. If you don't know this knowledge, you will only be laughed at as a local dog." Chiaki Kujo smiled and asked, "But you should listen to what I am telling you now. Aren’t you going in?”
"What do you mean?" Yuan Ye asked subconsciously.
"Your thoughts have been completely written on your face, little brother Genya." Chiaki Kujo took a sip of champagne, made an inelegant smacking sound, and said exaggeratedly, "You have the same expression as those lovelorn young people, you just went It's impossible for an extraordinary person like you to have gastrointestinal problems after being in the bathroom for so long, right?"
"Have you lost someone?" Chiaki Kujo guessed, "Ex-girlfriend or first love? But unforgettable love from the past is the more likely option, right?"
——My private life is not as rich as yours.
Genya silently cursed, but he certainly couldn't say such things directly. He didn't want to vent his dissatisfaction with Kujo Chiaki's weird words, so he simply changed the topic: "Let's talk about wine."
"I think you definitely don't want to talk about this topic, but it doesn't matter, let's talk about it first." Chiaki Kujo replied, "You guys will definitely be unable to hold it in anyway."
"I really don't know much about wine culture. Talking about this topic in front of Mr. Kujo, an 'expert', is tantamount to trying to do the same thing and asking for trouble." Yuanye was still gently shaking his head. He held the cup without taking a sip, "In that case, let's talk about the philosophical content based on wine. I know a little bit about this, so I won't make a fool of myself."
"Mr. Kujo should know that I am a transcendent, right?" Before Kujo Chiaki could reply, Genya continued on by himself. The other party would agree anyway.
"It's natural."
"With my physical condition, no matter how much I drink, even if my stomach is filled with medical alcohol, as long as I don't want to get drunk, the alcohol will not have even the slightest effect on my nerves. I don't think so. Therefore, any impact will be caused." Yuan Ye stared at the liquid in the cup and said, "Extraordinary people are certainly exceptions, but for ordinary people, if they are not physically sensitive, drinking a small glass of wine and drinking a small glass of water will cause physical reactions. There’s no difference.”
"In that case, why can people gain courage from wine?" Yuanye raised the wine glass slightly so that it was parallel to his eyes, "Assassins in ancient times assassinated kings because of a glass of water and wine, and modern cowards also Being able to confess your love to someone you like over a glass of draft beer, although the two are completely incomparable, there is no doubt that both of them gained courage from drinking."
"Mr. Kujo, where does this courage come from?"
"It is indeed a very interesting question." After listening to Genya's words, Kujo Chiaki thought for a while before answering seriously, "But it is definitely not obtained from the wine itself."
"No, it can't even be said to be obtained, but rather given."
Kujo Chiaki seemed to have thought of something as he spoke, and then said: "Wine itself is just a liquid obtained after fermentation. There is no doubt that no matter how many twists and turns the story humans make up for it and how gorgeous words they create. To praise it, that fact cannot be changed.”
"In the final analysis, there is nothing noble about wine." Kujo Chiaki said seriously, "What is truly noble is the 'wishes' given by people for wine."
"Wish?" Yuan Ye asked.
"Yes, it's a 'wishes', a 'wishes' placed in the wine." Kujo Chiaki drank all the champagne in his glass. "Others hope that you will have the courage to assassinate the king, so they put this wish on you." In the water and wine before leaving, the assassin drank the wine and swallowed up the wishes of others, so that he would become a peerless assassin capable of assassinating the living God."
"He changed from an ordinary person to a man at that moment." Chiaki Kujo is worthy of being a media professional, and his words are very contagious. "Because he swallowed other people's 'wish', he had to bear this burden. One looks forward to it, and it is the man who carries the 'heavy load' forward who is qualified to become a man."
"Then as Mr. Kujo said, when I drink this glass of champagne, apart from the taste of the wine itself, everything I can get is given to me by the 'world'." Yuanye sniffed it gently. The aroma of champagne is "the product of the fusion of social perceptions, publicity shaping, the expectations of the person delivering the wine, etc."
"That's it."
"What if I don't know these things at all?" Yuanye asked suddenly, "I don't know the society's evaluation of this champagne; I haven't read the soft articles written by wineries and wine merchants to promote this wine. The promotional information laid out; I don’t know what Mr. Kujo, who handed me this glass of champagne, had in mind when you handed me this glass of champagne.”
“I don’t know anything about it, so what else am I going to get?”
"Well... of course you get what you want." Chiaki Kujo didn't expect Genya to get into trouble like this, so he tried to get rid of him with a snake oil argument.
But Chiaki Kujo didn't expect that after hearing his completely sincere words, Genya would actually laugh.
"Indeed, I will get what I want." Yuan Ye said to himself with a smile, "The moment I got this glass of champagne, I had already designed a use for it."
"Miss Yagyu, as you said, I am indeed an extremely self-centered person." Yuanye spoke to himself in his heart, "But what I fear most is self-change, so I decided to follow through."
After speaking to "himself", Yuanye drank the champagne in the glass happily.
The complex aroma rushed into Yuanye's mouth, leaving a slight astringency.
"Mr. Kujo," Genya said to Chiaki Kujo, "Are you interested in teaching that old guy Junichi Urata a lesson?"
