Chapter 72 - The Guild Ball (Part 2) (2/2)

”Macaw~ You sure know how to be bold, Luke...” said Ayumi, trying to play tough, as she felt little shivers at his touch.

With his right hand, Luke finally intertwined his fingers with hers. With his left hand, he surprised her and grabbed her waist.

”Hah~♥” She let out a low moan and Luke slowly began to improvise a dance as he led her to the dance floor, which was a little empty.

”???? A century, a month. Three lives and more. One step for yesterday...” Luke hummed the song out of tune at the same time as the singer. ”Act natural... We have to get a lot of attention if we want to continue with the plan.” He whispered in her ear.

As he started to walk away, the Matriarch brought her left hand to his hair and pulled him forward.

”Do you think it's a good plan to draw attention to yourself? We're here to try to find a demon, not to expose our relationship.”

”Alexis is already taking care of that.” He said, stepped back, and smiled.

In the shadows away from all the overbearing stares, the half-dragon took advantage of the commotion generated by Ayumi's mere presence, to begin the main step of the outlined plan.

Nathalia didn't take long to realize that Luke and Ayumi's sudden approach was actually to conceal Alexis' presence. As soon as she deduced this, she let out a sigh of relief and smiled.

To the group's misfortune, there were plenty of places with drinks throughout the party, but since there was no bar, the plan was still possible. So, the redhead quickly infiltrated the crowds and used her agility to pour a drop into each of the mead, beer, and punch fountains she located.

However, as if by fate, right at the last fountain of beer drank a trio of drunks, who didn't even care about all the commotion generated.

”See that one? She's got an ass! I bet a sit-down would destroy you! Hahaha!” One of them spoke up, pointing to a woman in an orange dress.

”Wanna bet I'll fuck her and get her friend for free?” The fat man in the group replied, his eyes already half fallen from so much alcohol.

Alexis didn't think to stop with the plan, because although this fountain was far away from the core of the party, which was the dance floor and the stage, it was also the closest place to the service exit.

”Hey, hey, look at that one coming!” The third member of the trio tried to whisper to his friends, however, he was so drunk that he didn't even realize he spoke up.

”Ohhh! This one's fucking hot!”

Before the third could say anything, she made a quick sign with her right hand and whispered:

”<Styre>”

Then everyone in the trio spoke together:

”I think I drank too much.”

”We'd better get back to the hotel.”

”Yeah... My head is spinning.”

Finally, the last fountain was intoxicated with the elixir that Alexis herself had prepared for the occasion. Now, all that remained was to wait and have a little luck, for the second demon to finally reveal itself.
