36 Drinks Are The Best Way to Bond (1/2)

Later that night, the soup in the hotpot boiled merrily as four girls and an assortment of Pokemon gathered around the table.

”Hana, where do you get your summons?” Renae marveled at Gardevoir that was currently levitating meat into the pot. ”These new ones are so cool!”

She looked over the motley assortment of creatures. Each was unique and strange looking. Definitely exotic. Why did her friend seem to get more and more mysterious these days? That accident must have triggered something amazing in her.

Song Qi and Rina in contrast did not seem bothered by the creatures. Rather, the two simply ate silently. Rina cuddled Vulpix carefully as she fed lettuce to Zorua, who was basking on the floor.

”Song Qi, stop eating all the vegetables!” Renae turned her attention to the quiet girl, who was eating rather elegantly. She shoved some meat into her bowl. ”You need more protein. With your skinny arms, you'll be a bully magnet again once school starts.”

Song Qi nodded. ”Thanks.”

”And speak louder!”

”Ok.”

Hana and Rina watched the exchange with identical flat expressions as they munched on their food.

”God, you really are sisters,” Renae muttered as she saw the two.

Hana rolled her eyes. ”Song Qi, don't mind her. She usually isn't like this. ”

Song Qi put down her chopsticks. ”It's alright. Since we will be living together, I should clear up my circumstances toward you.”

She looked at Renae. ”You were right the first time you confronted me.

The Song family indeed abused me. I am an orphan that they adopted when I was a child. It was intended for me to assist Song Lin in entering a higher university. I was treated as a maid in their house and an output for their anger.

However, I did not retaliate. Not because I couldn't, but because I did not want to.

My so-called parents still had my identity token that they took when I first moved in with them. It was the only clue that would lead me to find my real parents. Over the years, I learned to cater to their whims to lower their guard.

Once I finally found it, I naturally ditched them. I managed to pass A.S. Academy's admittance exam, I immediately came to Floor 70 with everything I have.

So while I do commend you for looking out for me Renae, I am not thankful at the least. Are you satisfied with this explanation?” Song Qi asked softly. Her face was expressionless, as if she had just described the life story of an unrelated passerby.

Renae was silent. ”Fine, I guess I was being unnecessary.” She pulled a bottle of champagne out of nowhere. ”Drinks, then we cool? Restart and all that whatnot.” She intended to lighten the atmosphere.
