This isn't a souls-like game at all.

He lowered his eyes and stared at the empty goblet on the table, not daring to look up at Alice's face.

"What if I ran away?"

"Why should we assume the consequences of something that has never happened and will never happen again?"

Alice put down her goblet and smiled.

"On such a quiet night, with wine and beautiful women all around, this would really spoil the mood, right?"

"Good wine and beautiful women..."

I don’t know whether the wine is delicious or not, but this beauty...could it be me?

Ye Yiyi muttered these words, and finally raised his head and looked at Alice who was sitting across the small round table.

Then he stared at Alice, his mouth wide open and his eyes round.

Alice was only wearing a thin suspender nightgown, which revealed her slender neck and a large area of ​​fair skin compared to the tightly wrapped black windbreaker.

The pale white silk nightgown was wrinkle-free, smooth and full, outlining a breathtaking curve in front of her body.

"Surprising, huh?"

The girl laughed as if her prank had succeeded, then held her head high and chest out. In an instant, it seemed as if a huge white wave surged onto the shore and then quickly receded.

"you……"

Ye Yiyi shifted his eyes blankly between Alice's smile and the front of her body, swallowed unconsciously, and felt that it was incomprehensible.

"But...I once carried you on my back, didn't I?"

He was dazzled by the white waves, his head felt dizzy and he couldn't even speak clearly.

"You... that's impossible. How could you possibly hide such a big coconut? It would make a clanging sound if you threw it into the bamboo basket.

"Could it be that all the nerves in my back are dead? Or have they deceived me and been bribed by you?

"How could it be so big?"

"Is this really so hard to understand?" Alice tilted her head and smiled.

"Don't look at me because I look like a boy, but I'm actually very talented~" She used her long and well-proportioned arms to hold up the fullness in front of her body, and launched a shaking attack towards Ye Yiyi's eyes and brain.

"Alright, alright! That's big enough!"

Ye Yiyi closed his eyes with difficulty and waved heavily at the girl.

"Stop shaking! Didn't you come here to ask me to drink? Why are you giving me this? I don't drink milk beer!"

"But it was you who started the conversation with your eyes. You cunning little thing, and now you want to change the subject~?"

Alice shrugged helplessly, and the pale white suspenders immediately fell along with her smooth shoulders.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and while Ye Yiyi had her eyes closed, she quietly pulled up the suspenders.

"But I didn't expect you to be so gifted..."

Ye Yiyi didn't know whether she was complaining or praising.

But Alice took it as a compliment.

She chuckled and picked up an old metal bottle covered in rust that looked like it had been dug out from a grave. She carefully opened the lid and filled the wine glass in front of Ye Yiyi.

"But it's actually very hard, whether in life or at work..."

"So how did you do it? I mean, hide..."

Hearing the sound of wine being poured, Ye Yiyi finally opened his eyes and stared at the wine glass in front of him with a complicated expression.

"Of course, it's the underwear that's been infused with the magic of the kings." Alice raised her chin towards the bed beside her.

Ye Yiyi turned her head and saw that the bed was piled with all kinds of clothes.

The girl's windbreaker and pants were hung on a hanger nearby, along with the small bag she was carrying.

On the bed were her underwear.

A furry-looking sweater made of some unknown fur, a black long-sleeved T-shirt with a stand-up collar, and thermal pants of the same color.

And... a light-colored bra with a shape that looks flat?

"That thing... is yours?"

He compared them back and forth in confusion, finding it unbelievable.

"It's so small, how can it fit in?"

"So it's the use of the magic of the kings... Hey, Yi Yi, do you really like this topic?"

Alice sighed slightly, a faint blush on her face, and raised her goblet to him.

"Let's go one?"

"Let's go... It's a bit strange to hear these words coming out of your mouth now."

Ye Yiyi had a strange expression on his face and raised his glass nervously, clinking it with the girl.

"Really? What's the weird part?"

The girl tilted her head back and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. She looked a little tipsy, but her eyes were still fixed on him who was a little hesitant.

"How should I put it? Going for a style that's a bit too masculine doesn't quite fit with your current image..."

Ye Yiyi held the wine glass and racked her brains to find something to say, anyway, she wanted to delay as long as possible.

"Don't you want to drink?"

Alice lay beside the table, supporting her slightly red cheeks with her hands, looking at Ye Yiyi who was talking nonsense with a half-smile.

"In other words, Alice, you're not so much of a tomboy now..."

"Yeah, yeah... So, it's time to drink, right?"

"Huh? Uh... I mean, you're so feminine now that it makes me feel so strange."

Alice narrowed her eyes slightly and raised the corners of her mouth, but the smile on her face suddenly disappeared.

"Are you going to drink or not?!"

"I...drink."

Ye Yiyi was frightened and thought to herself, this is what Alice is like!

Who the hell was that busty freak from before? I don't give a shit!

Then he raised his glass, and with the determination to serve the tiger and the sorrow of losing his innocence in his heart, he drank the wine in the glass.

Slowly putting down the empty wine glass, he leaned weakly on the bench, savoring the bitter taste of the wine between his lips and teeth, and tears of pain from the betrayal slowly flowed from his equally bitter heart.

"I'm sorry, Saint..."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes.

"I still love you... but for the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians in Fort Lupe, I have no choice but to sacrifice my useless innocence..."

"Crash..."

The medicine that he imagined would make him feel weak or hot did not work, and Alice did not take off her disguise mask. She pounced on him like a hungry wolf with red light flashing in her eyes.

She picked up the wine jug again and poured a second glass of wine into the empty glass in front of him.

"Even though you drank it well..."

Alice sighed slightly, watching the wine slowly rising in the glass and whispered.

"But when I think about what you might be thinking, it makes me a little uncomfortable."

"what?"

Ye Yiyi sat up straight abruptly, his expression blank.

"You didn't drug me?"

"Drug? Phew~" Alice laughed disdainfully.

"Let's not talk about what medicine can help you for now, but I don't think medicine can be used to treat you, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey! What you said is a bit insulting!!" Ye Yiyi glared.

"In your eyes, am I just like those shared bikes on the street? As long as I pay a little money, I can ride it wherever I want?!

"You look down on me too much!"

"I'm not sure what a bicycle is, but I understand what you mean."

Alice put down the metal bottle and looked over at me with narrowed eyes.

"But before in the bathroom, I gave you three minutes to escape, but you didn't do it.

"You know something might... no, something is bound to happen tonight, right?

"Yes, a man and a woman alone in a room, not only with alcohol, but also with the door sealed. If nothing happens, how can we be worthy of the kings!"

"What does this have to do with the kings?" Ye Yiyi looked confused.

Oh! He realized that the kings here were just like God, so translating it into "Are you worthy of God?" would make sense.

But then he realized that he was really a gifted child who was keen on divergent thinking, because he didn't hear a word Alice said afterwards.

The girl narrowed her eyes and glared at him, her expression becoming increasingly hostile. "Are you listening to me carefully?"

"Uh..." Ye Yiyi scratched his head, "How about you say it again? I'm trying to build up my emotions."

"Ugh……"

Alice sighed weakly, picked up the goblet and drank it all in one gulp.

Well, it seems she is very depressed and starts drinking alone.

By accident, the originally charming atmosphere was completely gone.

Ye Yiyi didn't say anything on the surface, but she felt slightly relieved in her heart.

He picked up the metal bottle covered with rust and dirt and asked curiously.

"what is this?"

"One of my burial objects, or relics..."

Alice put down her glass and stared blankly at the metal bottle.

"When I was thirty-five, my father prepared this for me...

"There's a tradition in Leftgard that if a daughter hasn't married by the age of 35, she must be given a pot of wine like this...

"If she gets married in the future, this wine will be drunk by the groom at the wedding banquet... But if she dies single, or if something happens to her, it will be taken to the grave as a burial object."

Amidst Ye Yiyi's astonishment, Alice supported her flushed face with both hands, smiled foolishly, and said with nostalgia:

"According to my father, this is the wedding wine he offers to his daughter's groom in her next life... Although everything will be gone by then, the proper etiquette cannot be neglected."

"...So, that glass of wine just now." Ye Yiyi suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Yes, this is a gift from my father who has been dead for more than 10,000 years. And you are still making excuses. Isn't it infuriating?" Alice glared at him with a red face.

"How would I know you have such a custom in Leftgard..."

Ye Yiyi looked embarrassed and raised his glass to test the waters, "Then shall I toast your father again?"

"Okay~"

Alice answered cheerfully, narrowing her eyes and smiling again.

"Have you thought about how you would respond to this wedding toast?"

"Uh..." Ye Yiyi was stunned.

What the hell could this be? I don’t know anything. Alice, you just half-heartedly let me be the groom, right?

Have you asked for my opinion?

"Then I still..."

He hesitated for a moment, but Alice whipped out a dagger and slammed it heavily on the table.

Then she stood up with a "whoosh", lifted up her nightgown, raised her smooth and slender thighs, and stepped heavily on the small table. Ye Yiyi was so scared that she hurriedly picked up the metal wine jug and wine glass, fearing that the small table would overturn under the trampling of war.

"Are you a piece of shit, Ye?"
