I Woke Up In A Completely Different World! 43 The Servant's Servant, Part Iii

Young Mi: "Here, Hugo stopped by with several of these. I'm certain you'd want some."

Steven: "Oh-ho! Is this vodka? Hugo goes straight for the hard stuff, doesn't he?"

Young Mi: "Just don't drink the entire bottle, please. I'm going to Mageia Tower to find the others, I'll be right back."

After we were left alone, Steven goes straight to the kitchen to grab shot gla.s.ses for us.

Steven: "You want?"

Madelyn: "Oh, h.e.l.l yeah."

It's been more than a month since I last drank, so it's pretty much a welcome change since we arrived on Sefre. I wanted to wait a bit before I started drinking; keep it casual and moderated.

Steven, on the other hand, didn't know what moderation means and lifts his gla.s.s to the ceiling as he downs his first shot of vodka.

Steven: "Oye, this is really strong!"

Madelyn: "Ahaha~ you lightweight!"

Steven: "Drink yours and tell me it's not!"

Madelyn: "I will!"

I lifted up my gla.s.s and downed my drink.

Madelyn: "Ack~!"

I choked and nearly spit out my insanely strong drink. This isn't f.u.c.king vodka! This is a rectified spirit!

Madelyn: "Steven, you a.s.shole~"

It's almost like being punched in the stomach so hard that it gets difficult to breathe!

After a moment, I'm still destroyed by the drink and I have the mind to take the bottle away just for my own sanity. However, I had to chase Steven as he had the bottle and was asinine enough to go for another shot.

Steven: "Oh… f.u.c.k~"

The man could no longer stand up!

With the liquor finally getting the worst of us, we finally collapse to the floor, nauseated.

Madelyn: "Woah, easy! You don't want to get hurt again."

Steven: "Oh f.u.c.k, I don't feel so good. Drinking was a horrible idea."

A disturbing silence lingered in the air. The cold wooden floor started becoming a comfortable place for us to rest. It's not like I was in any condition to be able to stand upright.

Steven: "Thank you, Madelyn."

Madelyn: "For what?"

Steven: "Being my friend."

Madelyn: "You're welcome."

It seems like the liquor is having him speak his mind.

Steven: "I couldn't ask for a better party."

Madelyn: "P-party?"

Steven: "It's not a video game, though, it kinda is fun like one."

Madelyn: "Yeah… it is."

To be around people that actually listen, and enjoy my company. It's been nothing short of a blast being with my party even after all the bad that we faced head-on. I wonder what other adventure we'll do.

Steven: "We should go to Everhand next. Everyone can meet Kanna."

Madelyn: "Is it just Kanna you know?"

Steven: "There's Cynthia and… and Livia. There's Jesse, he makes… really good cakes…"

The big city…

It really sounds like an amazing place to be.

Steven: "We can all hang out."

Madelyn: "Yeah… that sounds amazing."

I want to see it and experience it. I want to meet all the new and unique people!

Steven: "Is this the restaurant?"

Madelyn: "The restaurant?"

Uh-oh…

Maybe the liquor did more than give him loose lips.

Steven: "Ahh, we need to open up soon."

Madelyn: "We're not in the restaurant, Steven."

Steven: "Really? Who's going to open up the restaurant then?"

Madelyn: "I will."

I'm feeding his delusions.

Hopefully, I'm doing the right thing. If not, well, I'm sure he'll forget.

Steven: "You will..? You'll work with me?"

Madelyn: "Yeah, I'll be the sister that works as a waitress."

Steven: "I always wanted a sister…"

Madelyn: "You do?"

The poor guy is falling asleep…

I've been aloof, I can admit that, but I did it to protect myself. I'm in a world where I'm a literal alien!

I'm starting to wonder if it was the right thing to do. To panic when I arrived. To attack that little red Demon even after I accepted her offer.

Steven: "…Madelyn…"

Madelyn: "What is it?"

Steven: "Will you… be my sister..?"

Madelyn: "Sister..? I—yes, I'll be your sister…"

How naive…

We barely know each other and wants to consider me family. I'm already his servant, so I guess it counts for something, right?

He doesn't show it but I know he's depressed. You can't stay happy knowing you're far away from home and your friends are dead. It's much easier to fake a smile and than explaining why you're sad.

I got back up after he fell asleep. Picking up the bottle as a curiosity asks me to make sure it was indeed a rectified spirit.

Madelyn: "Now, what the h.e.l.l were we drinking?"

Everybody else had returned, Young Mi was the first through the door followed by Lilith then Dai-tai and Niroja.

Young Mi: "We've returned."

Dai-tai: "We're back—!"

She sees Steven unconscious on the floor and swerves around him.

Dai-tai: "Steven is sleeping like a baby."

Lilith: "You think he feels at home? They say you're most comfortable at home."

Madelyn: "No, he's just drunk. Help me move him?"

He was still half asleep, and we got him to at least move over to the couch with Niroja. He was laying his head on her lap as she gently combed her fingers through his hair like an owner petting her cat.

Young Mi: "So, I've heard from Isaac that we can act on our own accord."

Madelyn: "Why are we on Sefre if they want us to act on our own accord?"

Young Mi: "Curiosity. They want to see what you and Steven do next."

Does doing absolutely nothing count? Because that's what I'm going to do unless they give us a job or Steven is sober enough to make suggestions!
