You say this is a love game?

Why was she lying on top of me in just her underwear?

"..."

No, his clothes were still on, and it looked like he hadn't triggered that classic drunken CG... This was a blessing in disguise.

But then, what came to mind was the confession that "Miyazu Inaba" had made to him last night...

Damn, I treat you as a comrade-in-arms with whom I share life and death, what are you thinking, girl?

Mizutani Makoto suddenly shuddered. What on earth had his damn, uncontrollable charm caused others to do something wrong?

"Chidori?"

Little Chidori, help me move!

Mizutani Makoto turned his head and saw the Sword Soul girl sleeping soundly on the floor with a can in her hand. Her silver hair was now dirty and smelled of alcohol.

What about Yoshiko?

Yoshiko Satori was looking at him quietly and would never come over no matter what.

"Miyazu, wake up—"

Mizutani Makoto felt a sharp pain in his head, but he still woke up Miyamizu Inaba... Let's not talk about anything else, let's explain the situation first.

But Miyamizu Inaba's reaction... was just like waking up.

After all, Miyamizu Inaba was drunk from beginning to end.

“Hey, hey, hey…”

My brain doesn't seem to be far from burning out.

Shuten's way of getting drunk is completely inhumane. He forces people to stay in a drunken state for nearly twenty hours. For Miyamizu Inaba, who has never touched alcohol, this is like torture.

She stopped moving midway.

Her entire consciousness was drunk, so drunk that she was completely unconscious and didn't even know her own name. Even after a short rest of a few hours, when she got up, she was still dizzy and even subconsciously hugged Mizutani Makoto and rubbed him hard.

what is she doing?

she does not know.

Anyway, he was still drunk and no one knew what he was doing. When he saw Mizutani Makoto in front of him, he smiled foolishly and rubbed against him twice to express his closeness.

Mizutani Makoto: "..."

Drunkard!

He now has serious doubts, so he and Miyamizu Inaba go to check their blood. It seems there is not a drop of blood in the blood, it's all alcohol!

Mizutani Makoto pushed away the girl who exuded a sour and acrid smell of alcohol.

“I almost drank myself to death.”

Mizutani Makoto felt the urge to vomit rising in his chest, but he couldn't hold it back any longer. He hurried to the bathroom and got rid of the nausea. Only then did he feel better.

At this time, Miyamizu Inaba was lying on the ground, staring at Satori Yoshiko's white and tender little feet. As Satori Yoshiko approached, her toes got closer and closer, and her vision slowly focused, and her mind also slowed down as her attention focused.

who am I?

where am I?

What am I going to do?

The three philosophical questions of life flashed through her mind, and she suddenly sobered up. After waking up, she looked down at her own clothes and let out a shocking scream. Then, when she saw Mizutani Makoto hurried out of the bathroom, his face pale but still looking at her, she felt that she might as well be drunk to death.

If she got more drunk, her senior might send her home and she would wake up in her own bed.

Ah, Senior doesn't even know where her home is...

In the small apartment, two exorcists who were considered evil in the eyes of Akiyuki Nishida were now sitting face to face at a small table, looking like their hearts were broken.

Miyamizu Inaba sniffed deeply, looking aggrieved.

It was the first time that Mizutani Makoto saw this serious and strong girl look so hurt, and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort her.

Wait, I'm a victim too.

Glancing at Miyamizu Inaba's still red cheeks and the smell of alcohol all over her body, Mizutani Makoto couldn't help but sigh: "Miyazu, drink less in the future."

Unexpectedly, Gong Shui Inaba got angry like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and retorted aggrievedly: "That's not me! I never drink!"

"That's, that's—another person! The one hiding in my heart... Wait, Senior, you have to believe me, I really didn't do what happened last night..."

"Second personality?"

Mizutani Makoto had previously guessed about Miyamizu Inaba's "secret method", and now when he heard Miyamizu Inaba admit the details herself, he suddenly understood.

It's not the second personality...

Multiple personalities, isn't it "me" who does it after all?

Mizutani Makoto's understanding seemed completely wrong, but Miyamizu Inaba had no choice but to swallow her anger. She definitely couldn't tell Mizutani Makoto that a demon king lived inside her. This secret must not be revealed...

She could only look at Mizutani Makoto with grievance.

Mizutani Makoto was a little uncomfortable with this look.

When you are used to seeing this girl slaying demons with such heroic and neat manners, and now seeing her so soft, you will suddenly realize that she is just a young adolescent girl, even one year younger than him.

"I'll forget it."

Mizutani Makoto replied.

"Uh-huh!"

Miyamizu Inaba couldn't stop nodding.

Thank you so much.

It's really helpful that the senior is so understanding.

"Also, regarding our relationship..."

Mizutani Makoto hesitated for a moment, then said seriously, "I want to be friends with you. We have a lot in common and get along very well. We should be very good companions."

This was a polite rejection of her "confession".

Keep your Cheng brother’s friend card.

Miyamizu Inaba's expression froze, and the inexplicable feeling of shame made her want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into... But this was necessary. The two of them had to properly deal with the mess left by Shuten last night, otherwise it would be embarrassing when they met in the future.

It’s no wonder that the innately evil Ghost King of Dajiang Mountain had his head chopped off!

However, Miyamizu Inaba had to admit one thing.

Listening to Mizutani Makoto being able to "cut" so quickly, and cutting without hesitation...

A little awkward emotion arose in her heart again.

...Is she that bad?

As a young girl, her heart was filled with contradictions and entanglements. She had just experienced a kind of "loss of innocence" the previous night, and her mood was already in turmoil. Now that Mizutani Makoto had drawn a line so abruptly between them, her thoughts became even more confused.

She knew that Mizutani Makoto's approach was rational and was for the sake of their continued normal relationship, but this rationality made her feel a little lost.

Miyamizu Inaba was still a young girl, after all. Although she usually acted strong, she was still emotionally confused. Last night's experience had left her feeling like a tangled mess. She felt a mixture of understanding and gratitude for Mizutani Makoto, as well as helplessness and grievance about her own situation. These chaotic and complicated thoughts intertwined together, and even she herself hadn't fully figured out her deepest feelings.

...little lingering emotions.

Miyamizu Inaba took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Then the girl stood up, put on her coat, and her eyes gradually regained their usual calmness.

She said, "Thank you so much, Mizutani-senpai."

"It's okay, Miyamizu-senpai."

Mizutani Makoto clasped his fists and said, "I have to thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to kill the Guhuo Bird."

Mizutani Makoto wanted to express his gratitude, but he was not willing to take advantage of Miyamizu Inaba, so he took out the spirit core and feathers dropped by the Gyuto bird and wanted to give them to Miyamizu Inaba as a reward.

But the girl pointed awkwardly at the mess in the room and whispered, "No thanks, I'm too embarrassed to accept this."

"Also, Senior..."

As she spoke, the girl glanced at him dimly.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't call me 'senpai' offline?"

Mizutani Makoto laughed unkindly.

"senior!"

Miyamizu Inaba's voice unconsciously rose.

"Actually, I call you that because I want you to stop calling me senior all the time, Miyamizu. We're not in the same school, are we? There's no need to separate grades so clearly."

Mizutani Makoto paused, and his tone softened:

"Besides, our ages are only one year apart, so we can definitely be considered peers. You can just call me Mizutani, or if you have other ideas, I'd be happy to support you."

The girl muttered a few words, and finally said in a low voice: "Okay... then you really should stop calling me senior from now on. It's so weird."

"sure."

Mizutani Makoto immediately nodded rapidly and made an OK gesture.

Looking at him like this, Miyamizu Inaba couldn't help but sigh, and a complex emotion inexplicably surged in her heart.

She hadn't fully digested what happened last night, and now he had raised her seniority in this way. She didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. She felt like she was thrown into a washing machine and her mind was a mess.

Soon, Miyamizu Inaba broke free from this tangled mood.

She stood in the room, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Do you need my help to clean up?"

"No, this place is small, we can clean it up quickly."

Mizutani Makoto shook his head.

Miyamizu Inaba seemed to be relieved, but still reluctant to leave, so she stood at the door for a few more seconds.

"Well, then I'll take my leave first..."

"see you later."

After receiving a response from Mizutani Makoto, Miyamizu Inaba turned around and left this apartment, which could be called a sad place.

At first she walked away, her steps quite steady.

But as soon as she turned the corner of the stairs, the girl could no longer pretend to be calm, and her steps became faster and faster.

Running down the stairs became a jog.

To the end——

She almost ran for her life.

The wind whistled in my ears and my heart beat so fast that it almost jumped out of my chest.

Wowa ...

The girl's heart let out a meaningless cry.

When she finally ran far away and was able to slow down her pace, she was just walking fast while panting and lowering her head. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were wandering the whole time.

"It's over, it's over..."

"Now it's right. It's obviously the best way to deal with it..."

"Why do I feel unhappy? Am I too weak..."

How could her Dao heart be like this...

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed and confused she became. In the end, she simply lowered her head and slipped into the crowd like a wounded animal.

When I finally got home, I threw myself on the bed, regardless of the alcohol. The memory of last night became clearer in my mind, especially the scene of me biting him...

Twisting, crawling darkly, screaming, wriggling darkly...

On the plain bed, a mysterious creature, covered in a blanket, uttered anthropomorphic cries. After a moment, another unspoken conversation seemed to ensue. The girl, not knowing who she was targeting, suddenly threw back her blanket and hurled a pillow against the wall.

“Hahahaha~!!”

The pillow passed through Shuten's phantom, but she just laughed out loud, making Miyamizu Inaba's fever rise rapidly and making her feel ashamed.

"Wine! Swallow!!!"
