Robin pressed her lips together and smiled faintly.
Furina, meanwhile, twisted open the bottle cap. With a pop, a nasty sound bubbled out, and her eyes lit up.
"It feels a little like... cola? But judging by the color, is it orange-flavored?"
"But it's still a little different." Robin fluttered her wings.
"I remember hearing that, because Penacony used to be an IPC prison, Suleda was originally made with additives for the prisoners, something similar to OO?"
Furina wasn't worried that Suleda might have any problems.
But she was still a little curious.

It was obvious, however, that Robin wasn't the kind of girl who would take offense at such things.
To her, history was history. It had passed, but it still needed to be remembered.
They couldn't say that because the past had been filthy and ugly, filled with sorrow, they should deny that period now that they had developed.
If anything,

"Yes."
Robin nodded slightly.
"Suleda's original predecessor was a drug similar to a mind-control substance. It was extremely harmful to the human body, highly addictive, hallucinogenic, and even fatal..."
She spread her right hand slightly.
"However, Suleda's creator ingeniously improved the formula. As a result, although this drink still has the effect of refreshing the mind and pleasing the body, it no longer has those side effects."
"Still, it's better not to drink too much..."
