Alcohol and Ogre-girls - Ch. 39

Simple alcohol is no longer enough for her... of course, you need ones made by your wife... 😍

 

[Osha]

A meal prepared by someone you love always tastes and feels better, makes sense.

Thanks for the chapter.

I wonder if the author is building this “Hinata has got not enough power because the alcohol wasn’t prepared with care and love” not only for the yuri portion, but also connecting it to the nature of the shinpen kidoku sake that Hinata is seeking.

That is perhaps, when the oni drinks alcohol prepared by the human they truly connects with, they cannot regain the power without it. And slowly they will lose their power and turning into a human (perhaps unless they drink the alcohol given by their loved one), hence Naori’s prepared alcohol (with love for Hinata) is the shinpen kidoku sake specific for Hinata.

Just my speculation of course.

I think it fits, it was a deceitful offer of sake that put the curse on them, the most pure offer of sake would be a good way to break it, of course that is assuming the most pure form of it is the only thing that can aka direct confession of love/love vow or else it wouldnt make sense bc Naori is already honest and caring when preparing alcohol to Hinata

only her wife's cooking satisfies her now? Lmao. What is she, some old man?

Does Japan have a wedding tradition of sharing a cup of sake during the vows? That, poured by their ‘true love’ might be the curse breaking alcohol.

If memory serves, yes. In a traditional Shinto wedding, the bride and groom share sake.

I mean, playing devil's advocate . . . or I guess ogre's advocate? Do we know how strong Hinata was in the past? Maybe this isn't any different to how she's always been when drinking that provisional alcohol - maybe she's only strong when she's drinking properly gifted alcohol. The fact Naori's gift is such a pure and loving one (as well as delicious) just reinforces things . . .

Or perhaps . . . . the whole point of the provisional alcohol is that it doesn't allow ogres to access their full strength? That would make sense, given the relationship they have with it.

Oh! Maybe this is why "bartender" is such a big thing for the ogres! Maybe they bond with a human somehow, and then become dependent on that human, and this whole "bartender" thing is just how they describe that relationship.

So much to speculate about . . . . I love it.

Also . . . . Isuzu's big hairy eyebrows are cute. Way too cute. Or is it just me? It's just me, isn't it . . .

The basic stuff doesn't work because she grown used to cocktails mixed with the power love.

And I love the ideas above that alcohol gifted to her with an expression of true love is what will break the curse.

I am reminded of the Dresden Files where Love is one of the most powerful holy forces. Symbols of that love, or acts of love (including sex with one you truly love and they love you) create powerful love protections and are dangerous to some supernatural creatures. The strongest of three holy Swords is the Sword of Love. So, it makes sense that Hinata could be changed so the love her bartender puts into her drinks makes her all the stronger and her body won't take another's drink.

I don't think so because she makes a note of her lacking strength. She seems to believe there wasn't always a distinction between the kind of alcohol you drank and strength levels. There's also nothing shown to call her intuition into question. She's never been presented as someone who doesn't understand how these things normally work. The way her lines are framed in the chapter also seem to suggest they should be taken seriously, especially when they directly link to Naori's importance. I doubt they intend to undermine that.

 

[Diamona]

I think she is losing her Ogre strength gradually! Maybe the cure is something slow, rather than instant.

Nichijou vibes from this chapter 4 me

Yeah, it definitely looks like it's supposed to be read that way, and the obvious implication is that Naori's drinks are special (for Hinata, at least, though possibly also for other ogres who have tasted them?)

In context that would probably mean that freely gifted drinks, and someone who's /able/ to give them, are special. Whether it's a one-bartender, one-ogre thing, or something broader? I guess we'll see . . .

 

[WolfenLady]

All according to keikaku. We just need the bartender and all players will be there for the gayest bloodbath of yuri history.

Mwahahahahahahaha😈😈😈😈😈

 

[vvboondoggirl]

expecting lesbian activities next ch

 

[RexNemorensis]

It's all ogre now

 

[Shtoops]

It's really wild to me how well suited this manga's art style is to both its normal SoL stuff and action. I feel like it shouldn't work this well, but it does.
