Volume 2 Chapter 19 Must Take Responsibility I
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Today, the alcohol flowed more than usual.
Serena hadn’t planned to drink to the point of getting completely wasted, but with Kian sitting next to her, she couldn’t help but drink.
(Sudden Kian Syndrome)
In her mind, Serena muttered this and looked up at her partner, who was awkwardly sipping water, with a scrutinizing gaze.
”────”
”……”
The tavern ‘The Boar’s Trot Inn’ had closed for the night.
The empty interior carried a lazy atmosphere.
The serving girls had gone home, and Esther and Robert were in the back of the kitchen, practicing new recipes.
Thanks to the ample supply of monster fat, the East End didn’t struggle for fuel even at this late hour.
…That being said, it was still quite early for the date to change.
”……”
”Ugh!?”
As Serena slammed her mug of ale down on the table, Kian looked at her with fearful eyes.
She didn’t want him to make that face, yet he remained unaffected.
Along with the irritation, her chest ached sharply.
Arrhythmia.
It seemed that the Sudden Kian Syndrome was still going strong.
”Kian, what are we?”
”What do you mean… we’re adventure companions, right?”
”It’s not that!”
”Huh?”
Serena gulped down her ale.
Today’s ale at The Boar’s Trot Inn seems less sour and more alcoholic than usual.
(So hot…)
Serena grabbed the fabric of her off-the-shoulder waitress’s chest and blew air into it.
”W-Wha-aat?! S-Serena. I can see it, so stop it.”
”See? What?”
”…Breasts”
”────”
Breasts──Serena turns her drunken gaze downwards.
The fabric wasn’t pulled so tight that her nipples were visible, but the clothes were far enough apart that her cleavage was slightly visible.
But her breasts aren’t as big as Aliona’s or Esther’s, so she doesn’t think it’s really cleavage, and she even feel like she can see her ribs.
There was a time when she spent her days in the tribe wearing clothes that showed off her belly, like a shirt and shorts, so Serena didn’t feel embarrassed at all.
However, she thought it was wrong to show too much skin to someone she didn’t know, but Kian was ‘family’──.
”Fami, ly…?”
(What…?)
Serena’s blue eyes suddenly lost their luster.
”Serena?”
She dully looked up at the young man with black hair, who was peering down at her with a worried expression.
Family.
Family…?
No, but.
Huh?
(I, Kian…)
Her thoughts were muddled and hazy.
There was something familiar about that pleasant sensation.
Over and over again.
With this──.
──Ah, ah, it feels so good! It feels good!!
──Ahh! Hii! Nohhh!
”────!?”
In a split second, an image flashed in her mind of someone with short silver hair being totally disheveled by Kian on the bed.
Serena blinked her light blue eyes in shock.
”Serena? Are you okay?”
”……”
”Serena?”
”────”
”Feeling sick? Shall I break down the alcohol?”
Kian said this with a worried look on his face.
Serena looked up at him, then pushed her buttocks covered in her miniskirt towards the young man.
”Whaaat?!”
”……”
She feels a tingly feeling deep in her stomach.
Her body was hot, and she could feel sticky sweat oozing from her neck and armpits.
Serena leaned into Kian’s arms, her dog ears flopping down, and her head falling heavily onto his shoulder.
”!?”
”…….why”
”Huh?”
”Why did you leave me today?”
Serena said this while rubbing her silver hair against his.
The smell of the foreign perfume coming from Kian’s body was unpleasant, so she unconsciously wanted to cover it up with her own scent.
Serena’s drunken mind is unable to decide whether or not that action was right.
”Hey, Serena. Stop it. Esther and Mr. Robert are in the kitchen.”
”Mmhmm”
Serena puffs out her cheeks while rubbing her silver hair.
She was aware that she was acting childishly.
But she can’t help but want to be pampered by him, who is her male.
(…A male…?)
Thump, thump──.
Her heart began to beat irregularly.
It’s symptomatic of sudden Kian syndrome.
”…So, what were you doing today?”
”I was at the training ground of the ‘Knights of the Sun’.”
”What’s that? Is it more important than training swords with me?”
”I can always train with Serena, right?”
”…That’s true, but…”
”I’m sorry. I couldn’t be your partner. Please forgive me.”
”Hmm. What should I do? Hehehe.”
Serena blushed as she giggled and downed her ale.
Since she had already finished her portion, she reached for the wine and ale that Kian had ordered.
”Hey, that’s mine!”
”What? You’re treating me?”
”Are you planning to mooch off me…?”
”Please, come on!”
Recalling how she used to rely on her older brother when she was younger, Serena leaned towards Kian.
At that moment, her left hand accidentally brushed against his groin.
”Ah!”
”…Hmm? What’s wrong?”
Serena was a little startled, but she gave Kian a faint smile, just like she always does.
”It’s getting hard here”
