Baro stepped back. However, it was apparently just because of his fear of Sam. Surrendering in such a situation made his mood worsen and grow manic again. Just like beasts, Summoning musicians were easily angered. Except those who had no emotions since birth, few people could suppress this beastly nature and control the agitation. The stronger the musician was, the more difficult for him to manage this.
"That d*mn b*stard," he muttered. He indignantly grabbed a lemon, squashed it, took the glass, and drained it.
The musician beside him filled the glass up for him wordlessly and handed him a new lemon. Angered, Baro drank cup after cup.
During the long wait, Sam stared blankly at the glass while Miller looked up at the dust on the ceiling.
After several cups of gin, Baro's patience finally reached its limit. He angrily smashed the table so that the whole hall was shocked into silence.
