Reincarnation Band Magician

"I think letting you drink tonight is the worst decision I have ever made."

"Hmm," she laughed. "I think this is wonderful! I'm exposed to such a wonderful thing so late in life."

Such a wonderful thing, no wonder dad likes it so much.

But she doesn't drink to escape. Alcohol should always be drunk when she is happy!

Now she is very happy.

The only thing that made her unhappy was that the wood in front of her couldn't be happy with her.

"I'm afraid I can't accept it. If I lose my mind, I won't be able to control my magic."

Qing recalled the feeling of floating when he was about to get drunk, and felt a little scared.

“Why are we still restraining ourselves now?”

When his teammates asked this, Qing was stunned for a moment and shook his head. "I don't know. Maybe I've been too scared these past two years. Hiding like this makes me feel safer."

Toyokawa Shoko was silent for a moment. Even though she was drunk, she felt that what she had just said was a bit thoughtless.

"I'm sorry, Qing, for always making you worry."

"It's okay, just like Xiang learned magic, I'm just better at it."

Xiangzi silently opened the potion and poured it into his mouth.

Now is not the time, they have not yet emerged from the shadow of the past.

Wait until the day you become truly powerful, then you can do whatever you want.

"Rest, Qing and I will sleep together."

"I'll just sit in the chair."

"Sleep next to me."

She repeated it with unquestionable firmness.

"Don't talk drunkenly, Xiang."

"I'm really not drunk—Qing, if you keep acting like this, I'm going to kiss you, and this time it won't be on the face."

"..."

Finally they lay together.

Wearing clothes.

Xiangzi came close to him like a cat.

Qing moved to the side several times, and Xiangzi followed suit. Then, before he was about to fall, he grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

After repeating it twice, it couldn't be cleared anymore.

A little angry.

Although it is boring to argue with a drunk person, I am still angry.

There's no threat involved, so it's okay to be emotional.

Just post it, he won’t be the one who suffers anyway.

I must talk to Xiang in detail tomorrow morning!

I thought so with resentment.

Then it slowly softened.

Because it's very soft.

Aite said that when she was sixteen or seventeen years old, she was not as outstanding as Xiangzi.

want to escape.

This distance was closer than any time before, and the complex smell of Xiang's body mixed together made him very concerned.

To some extent, the psychological oppression was no less than being stared at by Solitaire.

[From now on, I will never let Xiang drink like this again.]

Qing made up his mind.

……

Shoko Toyokawa "woke up" in the middle of the night.

It cannot be considered as waking up, it can only be said that it has come out of a state.

Judging by the definition of "conscious", she was undoubtedly not drunk at that time. She was even able to construct complex magic, despite having drunk so much.

Is this also a kind of talent, or genetic?

Her father also drank that much throughout the day, but his special trick was that after she cleaned up the messy beer cans, he would put the new cans back in their original place.

After drinking, she felt that many of the formalities she cared about now were unimportant. She could say whatever she wanted to say and do whatever she wanted to do, without breaking the rules.

Those words were what was in her heart.

There are two kinds of courage in the world, one is to face fear, the other is to face life.

Xiangzi has no lack of courage to challenge a terrifying demon like Solitiel, but when it comes to interpersonal relationships, she is a coward.

Late at night, the eldest lady realized this.

I chew over my drunken words and actions over and over in my mind, trying to experience the feeling of courage.

In the end, I found out that it was nothing more than that.

【What did I do in the past? 】

I couldn't help but think so.

When I get back...I must apologize sincerely.

There are countless stages in life. When you reach the next stage, you will find that the problems that once troubled you are no longer insignificant.

She couldn't let go of the things that made her regret until she was forgiven, but now she can face them calmly.

Of course, there are things that her courage cannot do at this stage.

For example, sleeping in the same bed with a friend.

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko wanted to turn around, but she knew her teammate was alert and such a movement might wake him up.

I'm not ready to face him now.

It’s all my fault for being “drunk”!

The intention was almost exposed.

In fact, she has a well-hidden secret - she has a crush on Qing.

Maybe since last year, or even earlier.

At the beginning, she was attracted by Qing's seriousness and honesty. Then, as they got along, Qing would praise and comfort her like a mother, and support her life like a father.

In the shipyard by the sea, she couldn't allow her fragile emotions to continue to grow, so she could only cruelly send herself to play the resurrection match with her weak self.

Now it has grown again, when we kissed yesterday, when I slept with my head resting on Qing's legs, when I was just helped back... it has grown lushly.

But I said too much when I was drunk.

She's not ready now.

【Um……】

Recalling the words I had just said when I pulled Qing to sleep next to me, I felt so ashamed that I wanted to roll around on the bed.

What should I do when I wake up like this?

Just drink, and you’ll have peace of mind.

【no! 】

We cannot form path dependence, and people cannot spend their whole lives in alcohol, so we must muster up real courage to face life. We cannot be like our father.

Drink wine when you are happy.

In such a conflicting mood, she struggled to see the daylight.

Qing opened his eyes.

Didn't sleep well.

He woke up when Xiang woke up. Listening to her uneven breathing, he seemed to be able to feel her tossing and turning mood.

It seems that he still remembers what happened yesterday and feels ashamed of it.

Shame is often a weapon against oneself. This memory, which makes him roll around in shame no matter how long ago it happened, is the best punishment for Xiangzi.

Since she was like this, Qing softened his heart a little and decided not to mention what happened yesterday. He just pretended nothing happened and waited until dawn.

Back to the present——

Pretending not to know that Xiangzi had woken up, Qing got up from the bed and controlled the water to take care of his personal hygiene.

Xiangzi sat up quietly.

Qing greeted, "Good morning, Xiang."

"Well, Qing, yesterday I—"

"Xiang drank too much yesterday. Be careful next time."

Xiangzi pursed his lips. At this moment, she would rather just say a few words to him.

She straightened her wrinkled clothes and got out of bed.

"Actually, I still remember everything I did yesterday. I'm sorry, Qing, for causing you trouble."

"Uh……"

I didn't expect her to admit it on her own initiative.

"It's okay. Xiang is actually quite cute when he's drunk."

"Qing, I... woo!"

She opened the door and ran out.

"what?"

Millennium Magician: 73, Restrictions

"That lady just left with her child. She's already paid the bill and ordered breakfast for you two. It might take a while. How about you two...get ready first?"

The lady at the counter glanced at the two men's necks strangely and made such a suggestion.

Just now, Xiangzi ran out and found that Aite's room was already being cleaned.

So he suppressed his shame and came back to tell her about this matter. After Qing followed him downstairs, he got this news.

"Ah...ok."

Wash up, there is no one here early in the morning, so I booked the whole place.

I washed my clothes and dried them with magic, starting the day off refreshed.

Have breakfast.

Then, a man who looked like an adventurer came over.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Qing and Ms. Xiangzi?"

"Ah, yes."

Qing didn't particularly care about the other person's address.

He pushed a small box towards him.

"The client's name is Aite. She asked me to give this to you. It has been enchanted with a special spell. Please check that it is complete. If there is no problem, please sign this confirmation document."

"OK, all right."
