Hello, delicious friends!
As I had found just now, browsing the wiki, there is third fate-locked option of Merry Gentleman, apparently opening with dozens of high quality diamonds.
Could you (obviously using the private channel) inform me about what exactly will I receive then?
As I pretty much dedicated to eventually obtain certain apple juice, this data may be very useful to me.
Thanks!

Cider generally means alcoholic, but people do get confused here as to the difference between cider and juice. Some products label themselves as "hard cider" so its clear they are explicitly alcoholic, but this usually isn't necessary. Generally speaking juice is clear and yellow where cider is brown and tangy, but there's a few exceptions such as if you are using late season apples, and I think Canada has its own rules which are reversed or something.

In the U.S., cider is non-filtered juice that's cloudy with apple sediment. Best enjoyed fresh from orchard shops and at farmers markets. Apple juice is clear golden liquid. Hard cider is clear like apple juice, but alcoholic.
Of course, a lot is based on context. If you say you want a cider in a bar or liquor store, people will know you mean alcoholic cider.

I've recently discovered that in American English "cider" means "apple juice". Totally blew my mind.

Wait, wait. Apple juice? As in apple+water, with no alcohol? Duuude.
I've never noticed that. That explains a few things.

Nah, as a Canadian, what you just said lines up with my internal definitions of the terms.
