We need him here by yesterday

"For the great first day!"

Makary raised a simple cup filled to the brim with cheap beer. 

"Cheers!"

And in response…

"Hurray!" a crowd of soldiers, both mercenaries from the earth and the selected few from the imperial army raised their cups in response. 

After a grueling day of messy organization, intense work, and constant struggle to keep everything from falling apart, the sun has finally reached the line of the horizon, announcing the end of the first workday in the camp. 

"Bottoms up!" Makary cheered again before tilting his cup and chugging down the drink as if there was no tomorrow. 

And all over the camp, everyone did pretty much the same, celebrating the new beginning with a can of a proper beer each. 

"Haaa…" To my side, Fay exhaled after downing half of her cup in a single go, a satisfied smile growing on her lips as the warmth of alcohol heated her insides.
