Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

Although the intention was good, it backfired.

While getting my drink, I spent some time alone with Bronya in the kitchen. I kept feeling that the way Bronya looked at me wasn't nice, as if she wanted to pin me down. It was aggressive and complicated.

"Yao, do you know what day it is today?"

With no one around, Kiana took a deep breath and tried to relax by thinking about other things.

"It's Valentine's Day today, what's wrong?"

"Chocolate, chocolate!"

"That's a common practice in the Far East; here, it's more common to send flowers, have a meal, and book a hotel room."

Ziyao changed the subject, "Don't worry, I'm ready too."

Not only Kiana and Mei, but everyone gets a share.

"Everyone.....?"

Kiana blushed, thinking of unpleasant images.

"It's fine to give it to a friend; it doesn't just represent romantic feelings."

"Then, what about that one and only one?"

Kiana tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, and even dreamt about it in her short, shallow sleep.

A gift that can only be given to one person symbolizes the deep and sweet bond of one's destiny.

———It is a symbol of a young girl's love.

"secret."

To be honest, Ziyao hasn't decided who to give it to yet.

Giving this to anyone could trigger a chaotic situation; not to mention Sirin, Mei in her dark state is also terrifying.

She even considered simply giving it to herself.

How about giving it to Bronya?

She'll probably just accept it casually, and then give herself a "friend zone" card, right?

This is a good opportunity to get closer to her and have a good chat.

"I would be very happy if Ziyao could give it to me, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to accept Mei either."

As she spoke, Kiana blushed and handed over an exquisite gift box.

"Aren't you going to open it and take a look?"

Kiana pretended to be familiar with the situation to hide her nervousness; she was looking forward to seeing what Ziyao's expression would be when she opened the box.

"I want to stay until tonight; I heard there will be a beautiful moon."

"That's true..."

Kiana was a little disappointed, but she was still looking forward to it.

Amidst this mix of anxiety and anticipation, a slightly busy afternoon passed, and before long, the sky was bathed in the glow of the setting sun, revealing a rosy hue.

With lanterns and decorations everywhere, everyone gathered around a table.

The abundance of dishes goes without saying, as it was an important banquet celebrating everyone's reunion.

"Seele, do you really want this?"

"Seele will be an adult at the end of the year, so it's okay for her to drink a little."

"Try a little first. Even though the alcohol content isn't high, if you really can't drink it, just drink the juice."

As she spoke, Theresa poured Seele half a glass of fruit wine.

It smells very sweet, somewhat like pineapple.

"I also want."

Kiana, sitting next to Bronya, raised her glass and spoke generously.

This arrangement was also intentional on her part, with one person on the left and one on the right, surrounding the girl from two directions with Ziyao.

"Idiot Kiana, be careful of getting a hangover from drinking so much."

"Don't worry, it's just a simple fruit wine."

"How about we have a drinking contest to see who can drink the most? Ziyao, why don't you join us?"

Kiana challenged the two, saying the prize would be a secret.

“…”

Looking at the fruit wine in the glass, Ziyao hesitated.

"It's a bit difficult to compare with her."

Theresa complained that Ziyao and Jizi dragged Walter into a restaurant and drank more than a dozen bottles of strong liquor. Their alcohol tolerance was outrageous, and she can still remember it to this day.

Bronya didn't want to help the idiot back to his room.

Bronya resolutely refused.

"Let's give it a try. Even Ziyao agreed."

Kiana began her usual soft membrane and hard membrane treatment, then looked at Ziyao and asked, "Right?"

“Yes, I want to see Bronya more relaxed.”

The idea of ​​getting her to drink alcohol was purely on a whim, and Ziyao herself didn't think it would be very effective.

"Since my sister insists..."

Bronya sighed softly, then mustered her fighting spirit.

Although I can't beat Ziyao, beating Qiyana shouldn't be a problem.

She could tell that Kiana's eagerness must have ulterior motives.

I can't tell you or Mei about these feelings, you idiot.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively, and even Mei expressed her desire to participate.

Simply drinking isn't fun, so we added some mini-games.

He looks quite adult.

Upon closer inspection, however, it turned out to be just ordinary soft drinks and beautiful young women, without a trace of worldly smoky flavor.

After drinking several cups in a row, Ziyao felt her cheeks getting hot. Normally, she would feel nothing at all, as if she were drinking water.

"Sister Ziyao is such a reliable adult, she can drink so much."

Xier praised her sincerely, using her words to stop Ziyao from taking the cola.

Left with no other choice, she could only pretend nothing was wrong, take a sip of fruit wine, and maintain her so-called 'adult' dignity.

Sparkling soft drinks... I'm not quite used to them yet.

He can clearly drink strong liquor, but he can't handle this.

To give an example, it's like someone who isn't afraid of any wild beasts, but gets scared by small animals and their legs go weak.

If I told you, probably no one would believe me.

Volume 1: Chapter 236 It's All My Sister's Fault (Part 4)

In full swing.

Let's skip the mini-games altogether and just take turns playing them in order.

Mei and Seele couldn't take it anymore and chose to give up halfway through.

Kiana was completely caught up in the moment, not only instigating Bronya but also dragging the poorly performing Ziyao into it.

The soft, smooth texture of the sparkling wine, with its subtle aftertaste, constantly challenged her rationality.

"Sister, are you feeling unwell if you consume too much?"

Noticing the increasingly sluggish movements of the person beside her, Bronya couldn't help but speak first, asking with concern.

"Don't worry, none of us can compare to her."

Theresa held the bitter melon juice in her hand and said she really liked the joyful and harmonious atmosphere.

In her eyes, Ziyao, blushing as she sipped her tea, was probably just like her, simply relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere.

But speaking of which, wouldn't the behavior of these idiots be considered alcoholism?

Fine, I'll make an exception for today.

Normally, I would definitely give him a good lecture.

"..."

Having been given another buff, Ziyao had no choice but to completely abandon the idea of ​​getting the cola.

I wouldn't say I felt unwell, but my ears and cheeks felt hot, my thoughts were slowed down, and I felt drowsy.

"Bronya, how come you're completely unharmed?"

They clinked glasses and exchanged toasts, and after half a round of drinks...

Kiana was starting to feel the strain, while Bronya was handling it with ease.

The girl's slender, pale fingers pressed against the rim of the cup, defiantly circling it repeatedly; the cup was empty.

On the other hand, Kiana herself still had more than half of her drink left.

"Ultimately, these are just for children to drink."

Bronya refilled the glass, resting her chin on her hand.

"Even so, please back down now. It would be terrible if you blacked out and lost your senses."

The so-called loss of rationality, to put it simply, is when a drunkard acts out.

"No way."

The Valkyrie's body is far superior to that of an ordinary person, so this amount is nothing.
