"This Taki really is such a lightweight..."
Kamijou Mutsuki echoed from the side while rubbing his temples.
What kind of alcohol did Soyo put in these chocolates?
Why was it so strong?
"Mutsuki-kun, let's just ignore them..."
In truth, Soyo herself was also feeling somewhat dizzy right now.
Even though she had taken hangover medicine beforehand, she had still overestimated herself.
Or rather, underestimated the alcohol concentration in the cocktail-filled chocolates.
Still, the hangover medicine was working.
At the very least, although Soyo's head felt somewhat fuzzy, she could still remain conscious.
Unlike Taki and the others, who were sprawled over the table, sleeping as soundly as husbands in the movies.
Even if she did whatever she wanted to Kamijou Mutsuki right now, they would not notice a thing.
That's right—after finally creating such a perfect opportunity, she absolutely could not waste it so easily!
Subconsciously, she reached out and touched Kamijou Mutsuki's thigh.
Just thinking about what was about to happen next caused the girl's gaze to grow somewhat hazy.
"Soyo, what are you doing?"
Kamijou Mutsuki immediately noticed the girl's little movements.
"Mutsuki-kun, your body's pretty firm~"
Soyo was already drunk at this point, speaking with complete abandon.
While giggling foolishly, she moved closer to Kamijou Mutsuki's side.
Seeing this, Kamijou Mutsuki instinctively leaned backward in a tactical retreat.
"Mutsuki-kun, at your age, you're still this shy?"
Seeing that, Soyo was not anxious in the slightest.
After all, Tomori and the others were already asleep, and there were no Mutsumi-types around to interrupt her.
She had plenty of time!
This round, the advantage was hers!
With the situation already like this, surely nothing unexpected could still happen, right?
She could not possibly be that unlucky, could she?
If something still went wrong after all this, then she would eat all the cucumbers grown by the Mutsumi-type!
"I can tell—you really don't get it~"
"But if Mutsuki-kun wants to learn, I've got something good in my room~"
"Something good? Another dessert?"
Looking at this inexplicably familiar scene before him, Kamijou Mutsuki's mood became somewhat subtle.
"Even tastier than dessert~"
"Come on, Mutsuki-kun, come into my room with me~"
Soyo's face was filled with an ambiguous smile, like an older girl luring an innocent young boy.
"Um, Tomori and the others are still here though~"
No, wait, were you really this impatient?
Looking at Soyo's eager appearance as she tried to drag him into the room to do whatever she wanted, Kamijou Mutsuki could not help complaining internally.
But considering Soyo's situation—her plans getting ruined every single time—now that she had finally seen hope, combined with being drunk and not thinking clearly, it actually made sense that she would become this impatient.
"Won't they catch a cold if we leave them here like this?"
Still, compared to Soyo, Kamijou Mutsuki felt it was more important to first deal with the innocent bystanders who had been caught in the crossfire.
Especially you, Anon—where exactly are you putting your legs?
Are you not afraid Taki will beat you up after she wakes up?
"Tomori..."
Hearing that, Soyo—who had been completely lost in male beauty—finally sobered up a little.
Although she had played a few little tricks for the sake of the Kamijou Mutsuki she liked, Nagasaki Soyo was not the type to forget her friends just because of a handsome guy!
They really could not just leave everyone sleeping in the living room. It was better to bring them back to the room to rest first before continuing.
"Just leave them to me, Mutsuki-kun!"
The girl patted her ample chest and declared confidently.
In truth, with Master Soyo's strength from being a bassist and training in a band, carrying a few girls back to the room normally would not have been a problem at all.
But what she failed to account for was the fact that she was currently drunk and could not properly use her strength.
Especially since her first target was Taki, who possessed such a "great physique."
The result was that she simply could not lift her at all!
So in the end, Kamijou Mutsuki still had to help.
Although he could not properly use strength with both hands, there was nothing wrong with the rest of his body.
He could let Taki lean against him and support part of her weight.
Only through this somewhat awkward posture did Soyo finally manage to carry Taki back to the room.
As for Soyo, her face flushed red with embarrassment.
After all, she had acted so confident just moments earlier, only to get immediately proven wrong.
Still, seeing that Kamijou Mutsuki did not seem to care about it, the girl quietly let out a sigh of relief.
After Taki came Anon. She was somewhat lighter, though Kamijou Mutsuki's help was still needed.
As for the cat-like girl, she was even lighter, and Soyo could carry her alone.
Ironically, it was the little penguin who looked small and adorable on the surface, never showing anything obvious, yet was secretly hiding quite a lot.
When carried, she was actually not much lighter than Taki. It could only be said that all the nutrition had gone exactly where it was supposed to.
Of course, Soyo herself was already abundantly "nourished," so she did not really think much of it.
"Mutsuki..."
Perhaps sensing Kamijou Mutsuki's presence, Tomori murmured hazily.
Seeing this, surprise could not help appearing on Soyo's face.
After all, Tomori had eaten no fewer chocolates than Anon and the others.
Who would have thought Tomori had this kind of talent?
Still, the girl did not care much about it.
So what if Tomori had not completely lost consciousness?
The overall situation was already decided. The advantage was completely in her face—there was no way she could still lose now, right?
After placing Tomori onto the bed, Soyo could already barely suppress the emotions in her heart.
Next came her alone time with Kamijou Mutsuki, and this time there would not be any annoying cucumbers coming to interrupt them.
However, based on Master Soyo's past experiences...
If nothing unexpected happened, then something unexpected was probably about to happen again!
Kamijou Mutsuki comforted the half-awake Tomori and had just prepared to cover her with a blanket and leave, when the girl suddenly grabbed his arm.
Perhaps sensing Kamijou Mutsuki moving away, unease immediately appeared on her face, and she directly pulled him into her embrace.
"Don't go... Mutsuki."
The girl's breath brushed against Kamijou Mutsuki's face, carrying a faint scent of alcohol.
Yet mixed together with the girl's own natural scent, it instead formed an indescribably intoxicating fragrance.
Combined with the unnatural blush caused by the alcohol, and the girl's hazy gaze...
The originally cute and airheaded little penguin now looked almost like a succubus, utterly captivating.
"We promised... to stay together forever."
The girl murmured softly, her tone full of attachment.
Soyo: ?
No, wait, Tomori, how are you still outputting damage even while drunk!?
Today was supposed to be her turn—so why was Tomori's presence this overwhelming!?
Still, although she felt somewhat aggrieved and dissatisfied inside, Soyo did not directly and roughly pull Kamijou Mutsuki away from Tomori.
After all, she still had plenty of time. Letting Tomori have a little was no big deal.
Meanwhile, on the bed, Kamijou Mutsuki—equally surprised—gently soothed the not-entirely-conscious Tomori.
"Mutsuki..."
Possibly because of the alcohol, Tomori's words were not especially clear.
But her hazy and adorable appearance right now was truly irresistible to the extreme.
As Kamijou Mutsuki spoke softly in a rare display of gentleness, Tomori's emotions gradually settled down as well.
"I'm so happy... that I met Mutsuki~"
With those words as the conclusion—
The girl's half-open amber eyes looked as though actual starlight was flickering within them.
Then, following pure instinct, Tomori directly kissed him.
Soyo: ?
