Chapter 128 (1/2)
The city was full of life.
Although it was close to midnight, the lights were shining brightly and the dark elves, who were sleepy during the day, were completely different at night. The adventurers also go to work one after another.
”Everything is so different at night.”
”That's what I said. Besides, we can see better and our senses are more heightened at night, so there's no need to be active at a time of day we don't like.”
”True, but there are several creatures that are active during the day.”
”Are you talking about how we keep our city protected? That's not a problem, there are people like me who adjust their activity time. The rest of us are asleep, but half of our brains are awake.”
They are different after all.
Frau, who was drinking alcohol at the table, exhaled.
”The fruit wine in this city is so good. It doesn't beat the mead from my village, though.”
”It's very delicious. Try it, Master.”
”Thank you.”
”Hehe~.”
Probably a little drunk, Kaede seems to react like a child to my compliments.
I took a sip and realized that it has a high alcohol content. It's best not to let her drink too much.
”Is there anything interesting to see near here?”
”A dungeon. Although it's somewhat different, since it's an above-ground maze.”
Oh, that's interesting.
I've only been in an above ground dungeon once, but it was a different thrill than the underground kind.
Not a bad idea to check it out while sightseeing.
”Has it been explored yet?”
”It's not the hardest place in the world to get through, but no one has completed it in 20 years.”
”I want to go there tomorrow, can we go?”
”No problem. I'll be there to support you every step of the way.”
Ultina lightly smacked her fist against my chest with confidence.
”Master～ Master～”
”Do you want water?”
”Yes, yes.”
I returned to the inn and entered the room with Kaede, whose face was on fire.
In her drunken state, she wrapped her arms around me and sniffed my neck over and over again.
She smiled happily and her fox ears drooped.
Fruit wine is too delicious, so she ended up drinking too much. It pained me to see her ignoring the high alcohol content.
”Kaede is still a child, isn't she? She shouldn't get drunk like that.”
”Frau-San, please don't go on.”
”Who are you calling [san]!?”
”...........”
”It's funny, Frau suddenly got drunk ~”
She averted her gaze at the same time as she said; ”I'll go to bed.”
In my mind, I saw Frau drinking some delicious sake straight from the bottle.
”Master~, I love you~, I will always be with you~”
”I will also be with you forever, now sleep.”
”Master~, we'll be together~”
”Yes, we will.”
”Hehehehe~”
I laid her down on the bed and covered her with the sheets.
As I sat on a nearby chair, Kaede reached out and took my hand.
Then she rubbed it on her face.
”Master's scent~, it's my favorite scent~”
”You're so drunk.”
”Kyu...”
Both Frau and Panda were shocked.
This is cute.
I'd like to see my pretty slave drunk from time to time.
It's a long trip we're going on. I guess it's okay to let loose a little.
”Uhh~”
Kaede held her head, her brow furrowed.
She was suffering from a hangover.
”Are you okay? If you think you can't go out, you're free to stay.”
”No problem. I've been drinking a lot of water, and also...”
Kaede turned her head and stared at Frau.
”Hugf!”
”Kyu?!”
”I'm not going to throw up on Panda. Just let me lie down for a while longer... Ugh.”
”Kyuuuuuuuu!!!?”
Frau lay down on top of Panda, looking as if she was about to die.
After I brought Kaede over last night, Frau begged me to visit another bar.
She drank a lot there, and that's why she's in that state.
