The Christmas party was fun.

It made me feel as if I was a student again.

I felt nostalgic and reaffirmed my childlike spirit, wondering if I still had such an exuberant heart.

There was a party of drinking and singing led by Kaido and Minami.

At that time there was no one to stop the party, and the atmosphere gradually grew more heated.

I don't remember the last time I laughed with my stomach in my mouth.

”Guhk, you guys are really funny.

Those pleasant moments went by in the blink of an eye.

How can I say that it was quiet after the festival.

It might have felt quiet and lonely compared to the noisy time we were having.

However, as I watched Kaido, dazed and drunk, throwing him into the futon and snoring until the very end, I felt a bit crazy, and a smile escaped my lips.

The smoldering feeling of fun in my chest overshadowed the loneliness.

Although my body has drunk more than a bottle, I feel slightly hot and cheerful, but I don't feel lightheaded or uncomfortable.

Drinking with the instructors, I have become much stronger than I used to be.

That's why I can drink at a high pace and still be calm like this.

But it is only because I was trained by the demons and the immortals, a race that boasts of its foul strength against alcohol.

They are now a dream.

They were noisy during the Christmas party and now they're all sleeping in the guest room.

Kaido was drinking like crazy with me just a few minutes ago.

I threw her in the room with Katsu, who had rested earlier, because I knew she'd be hungover tomorrow.

Of course, the men and women are separated.

The men's room was occupied by Kaido and Katsu, and they wouldn't wake up until morning.

On the women's side, the equally liver-rich Himiku is tucking in Kitamiya, Minami, and the twin angels who tried to sleep with Kaido.

The fact that you think it's somehow interesting just by picturing the scene is an indication that you value the time these guys are around.

You quickly get up and walk from the guest room to your room before returning to the living room.

You're back?

”Oh, Himik?

”I'm making snacks in the kitchen. Suela is helping. She needs to do a little exercise.

Yeah. Well, as long as Himikku is with us, it's not a problem.

”I've heard that worrying too much is not good for you.

”...... I know what I'm doing. It's my first child and I don't know how I'm going to treat him either.

I know, but I know how you feel. Maybe it's because you've fallen in love with the same man. Sometimes I think of Suela's child as my own.

I see.

It's boring. I'm trying to resist embarrassment, okay?

I'm at a loss for words, thanks to you telling me that I'm happy. You know what makes a good woman feel good about a man?

Well, then I'd like to see your embarrassed face, so I'll just be a little bit of a bad girl for now.

There is Memoria drinking wine at a table that has been tidied up to some extent, though the remnants of the Christmas party remain.

The other two are not in the living room, so you wonder where they've gone, and when you look around, Memoria notices and tells you.

And when you worry about Suela, she chides you, smiling.

I don't know if I'm overly worried or not, so I sit down next to her, scratching my cheek with a wry smile.

I set aside the bags I've brought with me.

”Would you like a drink?

”Oh, I get it.

Memoria offered me a bottle of wine and a glass of wine, and I took it and poured it for her.

Memoria is a vampire.

She usually lives according to our schedule, but normally this is her time of day.

Vampires are a very strong race.

So I've heard from Memoria that they don't need to sleep to some extent.

But I still think she's more active at this time of day.

After pouring me a glass of wine, the way she slowly drank her own wine makes me think that she's different, even though she looks just like a human.

She looks like a puppet in human form, but it makes me believe she is alive.

Her body temperature is colder than normal, but that doesn't mean she is not warm.

When I look at her profile, which has such contradictory elements, I find myself saying to myself.

”Huh, did you fancy her?

They only change their eyes and tease me like a little girl with a prank in mind.

Yeah, I think my girlfriend is beautiful.

I'm not old enough to be teased and embarrassed by such an atmosphere.

Just because I am not easily drunk does not mean that I do not get drunk.

Maybe because of that feeling, I answer her words honestly.

That's straightforward. I'm flattered, but shouldn't you be a little more embarrassed?

I'm embarrassed to admit it.

”I see.

If you honestly think it's beautiful, if you say honest words, its normally motionless face will collapse and show you a happy expression.

It's embarrassing to see Memoria's expression, but it gives me a sense of satisfaction that I couldn't feel in my previous life.

Then a delicious aroma wafted in.

Lord, here's a little food for you.

”Looks good.

With warm steam in the air, Himik brings a plate of food that is a little small for the four of us, but just right for us to nibble on, and Suela slowly arrives from behind him with the same plate.

The date has long since changed, and Santa Claus has passed, but from now on it's our own Christmas party.

Himik, due to his inherent physical sturdiness, does not mind drinking alcohol, and Suela, being pregnant, has never had a drink.

Memoria is rather energetic as she keeps the pace down with Memoria and this is her time to get going.
