Chapter 331 – Priscilla (1)
After shaking hands anew, Lalilura shyly stepped back.
“Yes♡! Shall we go back then? I will wait for you sisters.”
“… Already?”
I was a little surprised and asked without knowing. Larry Lura tried to put her hat on and twisted her head into a corner.
“Already? Is it 11 now?”
“Um, no, that’s right, but.”
“… Hmmm~? Or did you have some strange expectations♡?”
When I repeated my words, Lalilura chuckled as if she had seen through the dark side. I answered roughly while touching the back of my head.
“No, because I brought you all the way here. I thought you would tell me the wish you made in a draw the other day.”
“Oh, right. Was there that too? Today was so much fun that I forgot about it.”
Then, as if it came to mind, Lari Lula puts her finger to her mouth.
As a result of a bet in the tower of the basement, we decided to grant each other 1 wish each.
I was told not to mention my promo phrase again, and it had been months since Lariru had put it on hold for later.
“Hmm. But such an obvious development doesn’t suit a junior who stands out like me, right?”
Lari Lura thought for a moment, then waved her hand as if she didn’t mind that.
“It’s okay, I don’t have any wishes that come to mind. It was a draw, so I’ll just end it with neither my senior’s wish nor mine.”
“… Is that really okay?”
“Yes, of course!”
Lari Lula, wearing her hat, grinned and held my hand.
“Come on, before you catch a cold. Tonight, the Janus Church will ring the New Year’s bell. I have to listen to it with my sisters too!”
“… Mmm, yes.”
I felt like I was doing something wrong, but there was nothing wrong with me, so it would only be funny to say something about myself here. I bought a drink like that and went back to the inn we were staying at.
Larry Lura ordered room service for snacks at her counter, so I decided to go up first.
“I have been.”
“… Under?”
Then, somehow, Dana, who was wearing street clothes, opened her mouth in a daze at my return.
“What are you? Why are you already here?”
“Uh? Are you from Nor?”
Even Franc, who had her hair down and was ready to go out, widened her eyes. No, where were these wives going without me and Lalilura?
“Hmm. It must be this late, I thought it would be today… This is unexpected again.”
So said Veronica, who also hid her antlers and finished preparing for her outing. Dana took over her words suspiciously.
“What is Laliluru?”
“To order snacks below. I came before New Years to have a drink with you guys.”
“… Really? Looks like we’re the only ones having a bad year. The three of us were going to have a drink.”
“Among you?”
In response to my question, Fran accepted the alcohol I brought as if carrying her husband’s luggage after work—I was unknowingly snatched away by her breathless behavior—and smiled clumsily.
“Yes. He said that he might return to the inn. Well, since Rari Lu also waited a long time, it was talked about giving up at least a small anniversary for her.”
“Yeah, it was. However, seeing that her husband returned early, it must have been a useless consideration.”
Having said that, Dana took off her coat and took out a bottle of alcohol. I like it when I see you smile.
“Hey, just looking at this is poisonous? Our youngest is brave.”
She said, “I was going to dry it and she bought it to water it properly. In fact, beer is the only low-alcohol drink.”
“Well. Well done. If anything, you can buy the inn’s liquor.”
The wives were just as flustered as I was, but I laid out the glasses on her table without much fuss, perhaps thinking about the possibility of this happening.
Everyone was wearing street clothes, so it was a good thing out of misfortune that the party atmosphere was good. Even if the timing was a bit late, we would have missed each other.
“I’m back~♡! You sisters have been waiting for a long time, right?”
After she finished her preparations, Lari Lura also came up with her snacks. Since it was after a meal, it is a snack or soup dish that is easy to pick up and eat.
The time is already 11:59. The countdown to the end of the new year is about to begin.
Sitting next to her, we poured her a drink for Lari Lura as well, and Dana giggled and touched her on the shoulder.
“My husband. Try reciting the officiating speech.”
“I? … Kuhm, yes.”
Is this some kind of year-end party?
Although there was still a lot of work to do, her heart was a little lighter because it wasn’t something that could be solved by rushing right away.
Even during my busy days, it would be okay to have a day like this.
“Then, we congratulate our Lari Lura on her coming-of-age, and praying for a happy new year next year as well…”
“”””Toast!!””””
-Chaeeng!
In the inn room where the glasses were clinking, the refreshing sound of a bell from the church was playing like background music.
***
That was the last moment I remember.
“Senior, senior.”
“Turn it off… ?”
I opened my eyes feeling my bones split at the sound ringing in my ears.
Realizing that the familiar pain was a hangover, I wrapped my arms around her head. You should have noticed when the restaurant staff warned you about the alcohol. The punch of alcohol hidden in the sweet taste was beyond imagination.
She wouldn’t get drunk if she raised her mana, so I relaxed her body moderately, but that must have been poison.
“Senior. Are you okay?”
“Ugh… Uh, my head hurts a bit, but why… ?”
“I also just woke up, and my complexion is not very good. Let’s go down to the counter and drink some medicine.”
Lari Lura looked at me anxiously, she said. I nodded her head, pressing down on my blurred eyes as if I was wearing wet glasses.
The alcohol must have been quite strong, but even Dana fell asleep soundly and it seems unlikely that she will wake up.
I tried to boost her liver by pumping up mana, but noticed that there was very little mana left in her body.
Did you do something while drinking? No, yes. You stored the rest of the mana in her scepter to get drunk, right? But even when he fumbles inside her clothes, there is nothing he can get his hands on.
“Ugh…”
“Be careful, it’s going down the stairs.”
Lalilura, who had been knocked down over a glass of alcohol, helped me down to the counter, probably because of her hangover.
The inn staff was familiar with it, and returned after giving a simple treatment like an expensive inn. In times like these, the magic of another world is really convenient.
“Senior, are you okay? Can you go up?”
“Yes… Sorry. You must have a headache too.”
“… No. I was treated first.”
With Lalilura’s support, I went up the stairs, but I suddenly realized a sense of incongruity and raised my head.
“Lari, Priscilla? On the other side of our room—”
─Click.
“Yeah? Did you say something?”
“Uh, no… Never mind. Am I wrong?”
When Lari Lura, who opened the door with her key, asked back, I replied indifferently.
I thought our room was somewhere else, but since Lari Lula opened her door, this must be the right place. If the key doesn’t fit, the door won’t open. No matter how drunk you are, you know that much.
─Kik.
Opening her door, Lari Lura put me on the bed.
Still, as if the treatment wasn’t working, the headache went away little by little as I lay down on the bed and catch my breath. I groaned and got up. I wanted to drink water.
“Larilura, maybe there is no water… What… ?”
I woke up like that and realized the correct answer to find the wrong picture, albeit belatedly. Looking around, I mumbled dumbfounded.
“… Why are there no other kids?”
“… Is it another room?”
Even after hearing Ralilura’s answer, I couldn’t understand it.
It feels like the head left with drunkenness is floating around, as if the brain was floating in a rose bath. Something pink came towards me from the dim light.
Hair?
No. It was the girl’s face flushed red with drunkenness and other emotions.
“When I ordered snacks earlier, I rented a room separately.”
─Suck.
Lalilu, who muttered quietly, touched my cheek as if touching something precious. It was nice to feel her cold, soft fingers on her hot cheek.
“… Unnies and seniors, until yesterday, you secretly bullied me every day, right?”
─ Side.
But the coldness was also not as pleasant as the warmth of her lips. Lari Lura whispered with a small smile as her clothes were disheveled.
“If you are a senior, do you remember? That I’m the kind of person who can’t live without being hurt.”
“… Lalilura? That, this is it—”
“When the two of us are alone, it’s Priscilla.”
Her cold fingers touched her hot lips.
I caught my breath. The eyes of a young girl who began to see properly as the drunkenness wore off. There was a glimpse of her woman’s secret exclusivity and passion.
“Even the name I hated so much, I hear it as a compliment when my senior calls me.”
Her restless breath heated up her white skin illuminated by the faint light of the lantern to a pink hue. The breath that touches the five senses trying to wake up is stimulating as if the downy hair is crazy.
“So the right to call me by my first name and the opportunity to give me a first name will only be granted to seniors.”
A fumbling hand loosens my belt. Blood gathered at the waist.
Disheveled clothes or uncovered skirts are never the result of mistakes or drunkenness. It’s not even an improvisation.
“I told you? We decided to cancel the promise we made last time. So, I can speak now.”
This was due to the girl who had been aiming only for this moment——a thorough and meticulous calculation.
─Suck.
Larry Lura took her finger, which had been covering her mouth, to her own lips, and put the words of her once uttered by an idiot into her mouth.
“Can I like you too?”
