Volume 11 Chapter 31 A Toast And...
In the end, no one was left, and the Domain Control was lifted, so we quickly headed to the Clock Tower to release the protection on Demon King Castle and began our journey back.
It was already nighttime. Since Chiero had disappeared, the Demon King's army and the Demons we had hired were in a state of confusion, so they would likely remain stagnant for a while.
Besides, 2 out of the 3 generals had been taken care of by Sur, and the remaining one, his sister, had gone missing.
So, it's safe to say that the only enemy left in front of us is the Demon King.
"Well, it's all over, so let's have a toast!"
As I was thinking that, Gyurvi invited me to have a toast before heading home.
I was a bit hesitant to do it just with the two of us, but when he said, "What's with you? Won't you return the favor?" I couldn't resist. We ended up having a toast just the two of us.
Gyurvi was already drunk, indulging in food and drink without restraint. Although I was worried about my wallet, we had a great time together.
After finishing our meal and leaving the restaurant, I was scolding Gyurvi on our way back.
"Hey Gyurvi, why did you treat me? I thought we agreed to split the bill!"
"Aww, I forgot~~~~! Hahaha!"
Gyurvi was walking down the relatively peaceful main street of the bazaar, his face red and his legs wobbly. The demons who didn't know about the Demon King's army's paralysis were quietly walking around, not causing any trouble.
"Ugh, damn it...! I've been borrowing more and more from Gyurvi! You! When am I gonna pay you back?! I'm the one who's always borrowing, so when am I supposed to pay you back?!"
"Hahaha, haha, haha, haha!"
"Seriously!"
I was drunk, still in a weird mood, and teasing Gyurvi with a playful kick. Gyurvi laughed out loud, and somehow, I started to have fun too.
"Hahaha, ahahaha, haha, haha!"
"Hahaha, haha, haha, haha!"
In the end, we didn't care about anything anymore, and Gyurvi and I walked side by side, strolling down the main street of the bazaar with big strides.
As we walked, we noticed my inn right in front of us, and the two of us exclaimed, "I'm back! Welcome back!" while stumbling towards the entrance.
"Woah, Wade's back! And who's that person?"
"Toxy-chan, I told you about Gyurvi-san, Wade-kun's... friend?"
"You guys reeks of booze!"
The 3 girls noticed my return and came running towards me. I looked up, still feeling a bit dizzy――
"That's right! Sandra! Are you okay?!"
I jumped up in surprise. Sandra stood before me, looking perfectly fine, with an expressionless face.
"I'm the strongest."
"Woaaa, Sandra! Does that mean... you've also got the Anahata Chakra?!"
"I've mastered it."
"Sandra's the strongest! Sandra's the strongest!"
"Sandra-chan's the strongest, Sandra-chan's the strongest!"
I'm shouting "The strongest!" along with Gyurvi, punching the air repeatedly. Sandra seems to be in a great mood, dancing around and saying "I'm the strongest!" too.
"We've got 3 drunkards now..."
"Toxy-chan, Sandra-chan hasn't had a single drop, you know?"
"That's even worse! Ugh, get the drunkards out of here! Isolate them in another room! Ice-chan, get ready!"
"U-un, yeah..."
So, I was dragged away by Gyurvi and Sandra, and carried back to my room.
As I was being carried, I snuggled up to the Ice soldier's chest, who was holding me gently, and thought to myself.
"Ice's soldier is so cool~."
"S-sorry... Wade-kun is pretty heavy, so it's safer for me to carry you than for you to walk, okay...?"
Ice had the Ice soldier carry me in a princess hold, and followed behind, talking to me.
"Want to eat kakigori..."
"Wade-kun, you had quite a lot to drink, didn't you...? Yeah, you seem to have enjoyed the celebration...!"
Ice carried me to my room, and gently put me on the bed. My vision was starting to spin, so I let out a weak "Ahhh...".
"I can overcome this drunkenness with my Anahata Chakra... it's okay, it's okay, I don't need to...!"
"Wade-kun, I'll get you some water, so just wait quietly for a bit, okay?"
"I'll wait!"
"You're the most drunk you've ever been... Then, I'll bring it!"
Ice quickly left the room. I was left alone, lying on the bed, rocking back and forth.
Then, Rollo appeared instead of Ice.
"Hihih~♡ Master, I heard you came back totally drunk and messed up~? Uwaa, your face is super red~! Master gets drunk like this~?"
"Rollo! Didn't you get hurt or anything today?!"
"I didn't, though~? Hehe, Master, you're worried about me~? But I'm a demon, so even if I die, I'll just revive right away~!"
I stated firmly to Rollo, who was laughing in a silly way.
"That's right! Because Rollo, you're too reckless and it's dangerous!"
"...Uh, when you say you're worried about me straight to my face~, I get a little embarrassed~, you know?"
"Do it! You're cute, so take better care of yourself!"
"...Cute, okay~..."
Rollo looked around restlessly, put her index fingers together, and turned bright red.
I said.
"You're quite something, Rollo... quite the troublemaker..."
"Eh!? No, no, no~! It's not like that, I mean, yes~! Anyway, you got drunk too and drank a lot~!"
Rollo said while diving towards me. I caught her without knowing what was happening and ended up hugging her.
"Wah, Master, you smell like... um, booze~..."
"Today, everyone was giving me a hard time, so I'll just take a nap from now on..."
"Eh, there's no way that's going to happen~. Can we just stop~? Look, today is already like this, so let's just sleep peacefully with Rollo~?"
"I'll... do it... everyone's thing... sake..."
As I said that, I somehow lowered my eyelids. I was still energetic, but I felt like calming down was okay.
"...Master, did you fall asleep~?"
"..."
"Hehe, Master~♡... You're so cute...! You make such faces, too... Yeah, I was right... Rollo didn't make a mistake, after all~..."
"..."
"Yeah, Master~... Rollo wants to be with you sincerely...♡ Of course, with everyone else too, okay~? We all want to become a happy family together, I think~..."
"..."
"So, please look forward to it, okay? Rollo will make Master happy, so...♡."
Muu, the sound echoed, with a short interval between our lips. Then, a small warmth slipped out from my arms. I remained still, quietly losing consciousness.
