Chapter 61

Moments after Chi's arrival, Yuji finds himself in an enclosed space situation with two beautiful women in one room.

"Come on, Yuji!" Chi raises a glass of liquor, inviting Yuji to drink, "too scared to drink with me?" She taunted.

"It's not that... It's just,"

"Just what?"

"I... Never been drinking with anyone before,"

"Hm? Then you're a good boy, huh? Even though you're already 17 like Yukina here,"

"Isn't the legal age 18?"

"Nobody even follows that rule anymore... As long as you can handle and control yourself you can go ahead,"

"You sure you're not being a bad influence right now?"

Yukina poured wine on her glass, "it's because he never had friends he could drink with back there,"

Yuji stuttered, "I..."

"Eh!? Is that true!? Oh, such a poor soul you are then!" Chi said, clearly insulting him as she pulls her drunk-looking face closer.

"Wait a minute..." With a sudden realization, Chi turned around and snatched Yukina's glass of wine as she was about to drink it.

"Hey!"

"Yukina! I think you should sit this one out and just play your games,"

"Why? You're even encouraging him to drink,"

"Well, that's... You know you can't handle your drink well!"

"How will I be able to when I rarely even drink? It's ok right?"

"Under normal circumstances yes... But,"

"Anyway, you've been acting weird!"

"!!"

"A few months ago, we went drinking and you didn't act like this till after three hours,"

"You were awake by then!?"

"I only got one glass!"

As the two kept muttering, Yuji was staring at them with a nervous expression, not knowing what to do.

"Psst Yuji," Alicia whispered, "drink it... Trust me,"

Back to the screaming girls.

"Something is off with the drink!"

Gulp*

Chi, looked nervous, "eh!?"

"Chi... You're already looking a little drunk from a few glasses!"

"Well, look at you being red just from breathing the fumes!"

"Eh!? Oh, Yuji's drinking it,"

"Eh!?" Chi turned around in surprise.

Gulp*

Yuji dropped down the glass on the table without any faze.

"He gulped down a whole glass straight? No... No way that glass was full,"

"Pretty sure it was full when I saw it,"

"Then he drunk it that fast!?"

Yuji covered his mouth as he let out a burp, "ah! It was a bit stingy, but it was actually good,"

"No way..." Chi was stunned.

Yuji tilted his head, "oh, Yukina..."

"Eh..."

"Maybe It was just my imagination," Yukina grabbed her small glass and quickly gulped her drink.

"WHAAA!" Chi screamed in panic.

"..."

"..."

Silence filled the room as if everyone was waiting or preparing for something.

"Yukina?" With a gentle tone, Chi slowly approached Yukina.

Hic*

Yukina Hiccupped as her eyes began to look as if her attention was somewhere far away.

"Yukina?"

Without any reply, she let out another hiccup.

Hic*

"This... This is all your fault!" Chi shouted at Yuji.

"My fault!?"

"If you hadn't distracted me, I wouldn't have let Yukina drink it!"

"Your drunk now, aren't you?"

"Just very very little, yes,"

"How many glasses have you had?"

"Five..."

"FIVE OF THOSE!?" Alicia shouted, "I already had a hard time just from one!"

"Wait what?" Yuji said in his mind.

"I was using your improved body reaction to poison, especially alcohol so you wouldn't get drunk,"

"You can do that!?"

"Sure can! I'm like your body brain now or something,"

"Hm? What's this?" Chi pulled her face closer to Yuji.

Yuji was flustered.

"Hmm," Chi let out a teasing tone, "you've stared at me for quite a while, have you finally noticed my charms?"

As she pulled herself closer, Yuji further flustered, noticing her body posture, he felt her hot breath spreading all over his neck.

"I... I was just surprised at how many of those you could take,"

"Heh! Seems like what your holding there is just a poker face after all!"

"...I guess you could say that,"

Suddenly, Yuji felt a sensation in his lower half.

"Wha!?"

Chi and Yuji were both stunned speechless as they saw Yukina sleeping on Yuji's lap.

"Yukina!? What are you doing there!?" Yuji panicked.

Chi backed off with a blank face and dead eyes, "my...my pure Yukina..." She said as tears came out of her eyes.

"CHI!?"

Yukina groaned, "nggghh, this is... Payback,"

"What?"

Sounding as if she was sleep talking, "you slept on my lap before... This is payback..."

"Get a hold of yourself!"

Chi stood up from the bed with all seriousness, "...enough..." moving towards the coat hanger by the door, where she hung her coat.

"Huh? Chi?" Yuji said, beginning to panic.

"I said I've had enough!" Chi cried out.

"Chi!?"

Chi pulled a yellow rectangular object from her coat, "I remembered that I also have to deal with the damages you caused..."

"Chi!? Please calm down first before you do anything else!"

Chi quickly went over to Yuji then injected both him and Yukina with the rectangular object on their arm.

Snap* Snap*

"Aw!"

Chi then backed down and rolled up her sleeve as she places the rectangular object on her lower arm.

Snap*

She then presses a button on top of the object, releasing a snapping sound.

Chi took a deep breath, then as she exhales, her eyes and expression went back to normal.

Suddenly, like a robot beginning to start, Yukina stiffly got up from Yuji's lap with a blank expression.

After a few blinks, Yuji notices she was back to normal.

"What is it?" Yukina said, noticing Yuji's stare.

"Oh... Uh... Your back to normal?"

"Disappointed?"

"No..."

"Ok!" Chi cheered, "that was fun,"

"You call that fun!?" Yuji thought.

Chi puts back the yellow rectangular object back in her coat, "Now let's go check that place you two massacred,"

"Massacred..." With a sudden realization, Yuji stood up from the bed, "Chi, what was that box thing?"

"Hm? Oh, that, that was a neutralizer, we soldiers use it when an emergency occurs whenever we're drinking, as long as we aren't asleep, we'll be back on our feet as if we never been drunk,"

"That's..."

"Really useful!" Alicia shouted.

"Yeah... Useful,"

"I know right? Now come on you two," Chi said.

Still sitting on the bed, Yukina shivered as she tried to stand up.

"What's wrong? Is not taking effect yet?" Chi asked.

"It seems that way..."

"Looks at you shaking over there," Yuji teased.

"S... shut up!"

Instinctively, reached out his hand.

Yukina also reacted instinctively, as if it was natural for her to grab his hand.

With a sudden realization, Yukina went past his hand and grabbed his lower arm instead.

Yuji reacted with a bit of shock, he then just smiled as he pulls her up.

Yukina averted her eyes, being flustered as she slowly gets up from the bed.

"Your legs are shaking," Yuji said.

"I... I know," Yukina suddenly wrapped around Yuji's arm tightly, "I just need some time for now,"

Chi opened the door, "then guide her down the stairs for me, I'll get the buggy closer here, you should probably be fine when we get there,"

"Get where?"

"Hm? Oh yeah, you were so drunk that you spaced out, we're going to that open area place,"

"Oh..."

Yuji then guided her out the door and slowly down the stairs, "I wonder how it changed, if I remember correctly, it was so dark to see by that time so I couldn't notice what was afar."

"Same here, but I wonder how she'll react,"
