Tiamat, I'm going to find a girlfriend!

"I wish I could be like that."

"In that case, he is..."

Bagst stopped mid-sentence.

She realized she might have said a bit too much.

"In short, I think your worries are a bit unnecessary, little one!"

"If you call me 'little one' again, I'm going to get angry."

Melyuchina glared at Bagst with annoyance, then looked at Ian.

In a sense, this guy is the real "culprit".

but--

It's not entirely fair to blame them.

"Open your mouth."

While Melyuchina was still thinking, Ian suddenly picked up a glass full of wine and held it out to her.

"Do, do what?"

Mei Liuqina became a little nervous.

"I can drink it myself."

"Open your mouth."

Ian reiterated this point once again.

"..."

Knowing that Ian was the kind of person who would never give up until he achieved his goal, Melyuchina had no choice but to obediently open her mouth.

However, his movements were surprisingly gentle.

Rather than feeding himself alcohol, it was more like being served alcohol like a servant.

Meiliuqina's delicate throat began to move slightly.

Ian stopped drinking after he had drunk half a glass of wine.

He said softly;

If you can't figure it out, don't make things harder for yourself.

"Mei Liuqina, isn't it better to just drink?"

"..."

Mei Liuqina's face flushed slightly.

She didn't know if it was because she had drunk too much alcohol, or for some other reason.

She felt warm all over her body.

Bagst did not notice the change in his colleague's eyes.

She only cares about one thing:

He fed her wine!

"I also want!"

"I want to drink it like that too!"

Bagst was acting up, looking just like a big dog.

"Why don't you do something about her..."

Mei Liuqina muttered to herself.

"If everyone sees this—"

"This is a troublesome situation."

"..."

Ian patted Bagst's head.

She was fierce and domineering in front of everyone, but she was as obedient as a child in front of Ian.

"Would you like some too?"

"miss you!"

"Then, come on—"

Gurgling.

Completely different from Meiliuqina's extremely reserved demeanor.

Bagst didn't want to waste a single second of Ian's food offerings.

Her lips seemed glued to the wine glass, and her tongue greedily sucked at the liquid inside.

The sturdy body gradually began to radiate heat.

That was a visible disturbance.

Meiliuqina had a bad feeling.

And this premonition quickly became a reality.

Bagst immediately snatched the glass and, taking the initiative, started pouring wine for Ian.

"You don't just feed others, you know!"

"You drink too!"

"Hey, no, you!"

Realizing that this was definitely not going to work, Melyuchina tried to stop Bagst.

But Ian waved his outstretched hand at her.

Their eyes met, and Mei Liuqina realized what he meant—"Don't worry about it, just let her continue like this."

"This……"

Although she didn't feel good, it was ultimately Ian's own decision, so Melyuchina didn't say anything.

Bagst became increasingly excited.

After the wine glass was completely empty, she shouted.

"Continued Cup!"

thump—

Bagst picked up another glass of wine from the table.

"Hehe~"

"Like this—"

Under the gaze of Yu Meiliuqina.

Bagst lifted his head and left a kiss on Ian's cheek, reeking of alcohol.

Her lips were radiating warmth.

"It's even more interesting than the one in the alley before."

"..."

Bagst's utterly inappropriate behavior made Melyuchina's expression incredibly complicated.

She clutched her chest.

If Artoria is a queen she cannot disobey, then Bagst in front of her is not quite at that level yet!

"Almost there, that's good enough!"

Melyuchina stopped Bagst.

"You've gone too far!"

"Isn't that normal?"

A drunken Bagstie's lips curled into a smile.

She even put her arm around Ian's shoulder, pulled him close, and kissed him.

"Kissing each other is just normal etiquette for knights, isn't it?"

"You... can do it too."

"You and I……"

Mei Liuqina was unable to utter a single word.

But it was at this moment that she also saw Ian slightly moving his lips.

No sound.

Only the shape of the mouth.

However, Melyuchina found that she completely understood what he meant.

"It's okay... just wait until she's completely drunk... that's fine."

"Let's...spend some time alone...later."

Eh?

Does he want to meet with me alone?

87. Mei Liuqina wanted to have an affair.

"What about Bagst? Has he been sent back yet?"

Under the moonlight, beside the half-finished city wall, Meliuchina smelled the blood in the air and asked Ian beside her this question.

"Send it back."

As Ian answered Melyuchina's question, he touched his face.

"Hey!"

"It's too much!"

Meiliuqina, who fully understood what this meant, put her hands on her hips.

"Even if Bagst kissed you many times on the way back, it shouldn't be like this, right?"

Are you still reminiscing about it?

"Ah."

Ian nodded.

"Because no one has ever done that before."

"there has never been."

"No, you..."

Ian rendered Melyuchina speechless, leaving her utterly speechless.

This was especially true when she knew that he truly felt that way.

"never mind."

"Do whatever you want."

"but--"

Mei Liuqina's gaze lingered on him.

Why did you call me out tonight?

"..."
