If you're still holding out hope for the unlikely couple of The Ancient Magus' Bride, Rakuten is offering a celebratory Honeymoon Set of alcohol for Elias and Chise. Chise isn't yet of legal drinking age in Japan, but she's just about old enough to enjoy a beer in London, if she wants.
The Ancient Magus' Bride Honeymoon Set includes a bottle of red wine for Elias and honey sake for Chise. "Honey mead" is a magical drink to quench the thirst of the most rambunctious fairy folk. The drink is allegedly one of the oldest alcoholic beverages and is the root of the word "honeymoon," the month post-wedding when the happy couple would drink as much mead as they wanted. This honey sake is brewed in Mine, Yamaguchi and is part of a limited batch.
Elias' drink is a domestic red wine that can be paired with dessert or dinner. Both bottles come with a decoration representing their respective character. Chise's bottle wears her amulet and Elias' bottle wears his bolo tie. The bottles come in a luxurious, satin box.
Pre-orders are open until May 11 and orders will ship on May 15. The set retails for 10,000 yen (US$94).
The Ancient Magus' Bride's 24th episode will air on Saturday. Crunchyroll is streaming the series as it airs in Japan.
