I Favor the Villainess

Outside 3. Sweet Alcohol

"Ugh..."

"Good job, Ray. Have you two slept yet?

"Yeah, slowly."

Time just went around twenty-first o'clock at night.

After putting May and Allea to bed, I came back to the living room.

At the living room table, Claire, dressed for bedtime after bathing, was drinking something that looked like a drink by herself.

It is a golden brown liquid, in a bottle that seems to contain about a litre.

"Dear Claire, what's that? I think they cut the juice."

I was thinking of going to the market tomorrow to buy it.

"Is this it? It's alcohol, though."

To Lady Claire, who said hello, I looked up to her.

Alcohol?

I said alcohol, now?

"Hey, Master Claire. You can't drink alcohol!

"Why is that?

"How could... Aren't we twenty years old?"

"? Yes, but what's wrong with that?

I remember seeing how Lady Claire put a question mark on her face.

With that said, drinking was possible in this country from the age of fifteen.

That means that Master Claire and I have no legal problems drinking alcohol.

On the contrary, alcohol is cheaper than water, depending on the type.

The alcohol Claire is drinking seems to be superior there.

"Lambert thanked me for my day to day. It's easy to drink and a pretty good drink."

"Ha...... But don't drink too much, will you? Because it's not very good for your health."

"Moderation is good."

Perhaps, but Lady Claire must have been dating and partying between nobles and sober than her legal age.

I'm sure you know more about additions and subtractions than I do in this world.

"Shall I even make it with a knob?

"That's fine, let's have a drink with Ray"

Master Claire says so, so I'll take out the glass too and sit with her.

Alcohol was like honey wine.

Master Claire pours it into the glass from hand to hand.

"Cheers."

"Cheers."

Fit the glass, and then I'll make a terrible mouth too.

When it comes to honey wine, it's not anything sweet.

Because the sugar breaks down during the fermentation process.

Will beer be the closest to the taste?

The flavor is sweet, so it feels a little different from pure beer.

Besides, this honeysuckle apparently contained spices.

It would be around cinnamon from the taste and aroma.

As Lady Claire said, it is very easy to drink.

I could simply call it a delicious drink.

"What do you say?

"It's delicious. It's certainly easy to drink."

"Isn't that right? Lene remembers what he used to make of the brewery during his aristocracy and gave it to Lambert."

"I see."

That's Lene.

Even if she is no longer in the position of maid, she must refer to Lady Claire as her husband for the rest of her life.

While appreciating her care, I lay the cup on top of it as it is.

"Hey, Ray.... you're so happy."

"Master Claire?

In a dreamy tone, Master Claire said.

When suddenly I saw Master Claire what was going on, Master Claire was smiling with a full smile.

"There's May, there's Alea, and there's Ray... Every day is a real dream."

"It's not a dream. Now that Lady Claire has won."

"All of us, yes. Don't get me wrong."

Even when alcohol turns, Master Claire remains wise.

I don't consider this happiness to be my own.

"How's the teacher doing?

"That's rewarding. of children, well, not listening to them."

Behind what I'm saying, Master Claire's tone was fun.

Now, Master Claire and I are teachers at the Royal College.

The Royal College has also changed a lot, as students have changed from a group of aristocratic children to an elite chosen by the general public.

The content of teaching also gained a greater proportion of magic due to didactic and manipulative biases.

"It's very different from the aristocratic days when everything was what you wanted it to be, if you say so. But I think it's funny there."

"Really? Good."

In Lady Claire's case, I secretly feared that Pride might get in the way and not go well, but that didn't seem to happen.

Master Claire became Master Claire and seemed to feel rewarded for her current job.

I think that would be a great pleasure.

"How's Ray? Happy with your current life?

"We have Lady Claire, so you can't want any more. May and Alea are starting to miss each other a lot."

When are you so ready to die, there's nothing more to hope for than for Master Claire to live and be with you like this.

May and Allea, who didn't quite miss me at first, are now totally cracking it down.

Master Claire is right, I'm really happy now.

"Good. But I'm not happy with one thing."

"Oh. What is it?

When I asked, Lady Claire put the glass down and looked obstinate.

"Ray hasn't been aggressive with me lately."

"Buho."

[incomprehensible]

I meant to hear what Master Claire said by ear, but I couldn't keep up with my head's understanding.

What did Lady Claire say now?

"Excuse me, can I ask you again?

"Oh, my God! Ray's been saying lately that he misses me!

Now it was time to listen and understand properly, but I didn't think it was Master Claire's word.

That high-minded Claire... you want me to take care of her?

"Dear Claire... Are you a little drunk?

"I'm not drunk!

Lady Claire denied my suspicions, but her face is bright red and, above all, her words and actions are already suspicious.

In the first place, I say I'm not as drunk as I am drunk.

"Dear Claire, how many drinks have you had?

"It's about half a bottle. I'm not gonna get drunk like this."

I checked the bottle and it was almost empty already.

Since I have only had two or three drinks, 80% of them will have been opened by Claire.

Master Claire is even in danger of recognizing the status quo.

"Dear Claire, that's enough booze, let's make it easier"

"No. I'll have more chats with Ray."

With my hand about to take up the glass, Lady Claire opened another sip of honey wine and said so as if she were stubborn.

"Dear Claire..."

"Ray was more aggressive in college. Follow me, Claire. Claire was really cute."

I said something.

If I don't stop this now, isn't it the one where Master Claire dies of shame later?

"Hey, Ray. You like me?

"I like it."

"Really?"

"It's true without falsehood."

"Heh heh... yeah?

Lady Claire laughed mellow.

Shit.

I also love the usual winning grin, but that look that only gives me once in a while is against the rules.

I kept myself desperate.

"Look, Master Claire. Let's go to bed."

"No. I'm going to get more laid."

……

What a cute creature.

No, Master Claire is usually adorable, but she's too cute to wonder if Claire's a little bit today.

Even I drink alcohol.

Because reason is looser than usual, you can make mistakes if you stay like this.

Master Claire and I are very close, but I was kind of hesitant to get drunk.

"Ray?"

"Yes."

Dear Claire calling me with a sweet voice hung on my nose.

I'm getting harder and harder to contain myself.

She's cute now.

"Hey, would you kiss me?

"... Dear Claire, that's it. If you're tempted any more, you're not sure you can stand it."

"Why do you need to endure it? Ray belongs to me, I belong to Ray, right?

Kakuru, and even such a trick that leans his neck, he is a little devilish.

It is time for reason to be the limit.

"Dear Claire, okay? I love Master Claire, don't I?

"Hehe, I'm glad. I love you, too."

"So...... All those cute things, my reason is at stake."

"Ugh, really? Glad to hear it."

Lady Claire laughing glossy.

I don't know anymore.

I'm not bad.

It's bad that Master Claire is too cute.

When I took my seat, I knelt down by Master Claire and took my hand.

"Dear Claire, can I hold you?

"Hehe, you finally cared about that. Yeah, happy to."

That said, I've been mouthing it from Master Claire.

As I responded, boosting my arm with magic, I held up Master Claire's luxurious body.

"I'm going to bed."

"... Yep"

All you have to do is think about the pink time already.

That's what I thought.

"Ah."

"Ah."

……

"What's wrong, Ray? Take Me Quickly......!?

I peeked this way from the children's room, and my eyes met with two sets of sights.

"I found you, Alea."

"I found you. Hey, May."

May and Allea said that without any evil.

"Both of us...... You weren't asleep?

"'Cause Ray, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey."

"The two of you were all right, so I was offering both of you."

…… ……

When I hear the words of May and Alea, to which I replied firmly, I want you to guess my mood.

Dear Claire and others, no more screaming is a word.

"So, Ray, what do you do next?

"Shinshitsuzu, is that you?

My head, which was on the verge of being dominated by desire, cools rapidly.

Perhaps Master Claire's drunkenness has also awakened in one shot.

"I won't do anything. Just say good night with me and go to bed."

"Really?

"It's boring."

"Look, that's why we're both off. If you stay up late, you won't be able to play a lot tomorrow, will you?

"That's no good."

"We're good, so we're good."

With that said, the two of them dived into the futon with great respect.

I just want to be relieved, but I still have something to do.

"Dear Claire..."

It is a follow up to Lady Claire, who has her head in her arms.

"Did you wake up drunk?

"... yeah"

I heard voices disappearing.

If there's really a hole, I want in, too.

"Dear Claire, let's make a new rule."

"I agree."

There are a few rules in our house.

It's a casual decision to live a daily life.

Tonight, a new line was added there.

Namely - the more alcohol.
