My Girlfriend is an S-Class Adventurer

Chapter 72 The Guild Ball (Part 2)

Nathan Dubois, a Class-D adventurer, was looking for spaces to pass between the many guests in the main hall of the castle. Meanwhile, he continued to stare at his two targets.

'Ah! If I can touch my hand to the smaller one, he will surely cry while begging me to let go. Haha!' He thought, staring at Luke, who was also staring at him.

However, just as people recognized him and commented on him, they also recognized other famous adventurers in town.

"Hey, isn't that the only Rank-C Berserker in Vasconcelos?"

"Wow, that's him! Shiro is his name... Man, I hear he's surreal at battling!"

"But has he retired? It's been a good few months since I've heard from him."

"I don't know... but it looks like he must be working for the Strogueher's." A boy commented, pointing to the big guy next to Nathalia and Ayumi.

These comments made Mr. Dubois feel a little less motivated to move on, however, with a glance to the second floor, he realized that the girls and their friends were watching him intently.

'Fuck... I'm already in the way anyway. But... he's a Rank-C... Okay, Berserker's a problem, but the other one's probably just a rabble anyway.' The idiot thought, continuing to walk after a brief moment of hesitation.

Ayumi Strogueher was the last to notice the man's aggressive look, and without difficulty deduced that he wanted to show off somehow.

It was not an uncommon thing for people to come to the Matriarch to introduce themselves, flirt, or even fight, so her evasive skills were more than trained for this kind of situation.

As soon as she got him within five feet, Ayumi grabbed Luke's left arm and squeezed her breasts into the half-wolf's body. This made her feel nervous, after all, she, like Luke, preferred a more discreet relationship.

Nathalia saw this and was confused. Shiro almost didn't believe it either.

'You're with the mother, the daughter, and the maid? What the fuck you are doing Luke?' he thought, with confused open eyes.

Alexis couldn't help but chuckle wryly and turned away from the confusion that would soon form.

The man, who had a bold smile on his face, was dumbfounded and wondered:

'WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? HE IS... HER SON, RIGHT?' Luke did not have the slightest trace of a nobleman, much less an Elf. His face, although quite handsome, had no sign of any skincare, something that was normal among nobles.

Many of the people around were also not expecting the sudden tug that Ayumi made, and so the numerous whispers became even more intense and spread throughout the party.

"W-what are you doing?" Luke whispered to Ayumi.

"I don't know...we're just going to go with that flow...grab me too." She dared.

"Do you want me to grab you? In the middle of everyone? A-are you crazy?"

The woman didn't answer, just smiled as they all looked at her.

'Ah, whatever!' Luke thought and then grabbed the woman's other arm.

Now that they were facing each other, Luke slowly slid his hand down the Matriarch's arm, from her shoulder to her right palm.

Coincidentally, the singer started singing again at the same second of the tug. "I can hear the wind go by. Watch the wave crash. But the damage it does, Life's too short to see~ ?"

The people, who were startled to see the respectable Matriarch Strogueher with such an indigent man, now judged both of them with stern looks, however, for the half-wolf and the Elf, a small world made just for the two began to emerge.

"Ara…Ara~ You sure know how to be bold, Luke..." said Ayumi, trying to play tough, as she felt little shivers at his touch.

With his right hand, Luke finally intertwined his fingers with hers. With his left hand, he surprised her and grabbed her waist.

"Hah~?" She let out a low moan and Luke slowly began to improvise a dance as he led her to the dance floor, which was a little empty.

"? A century, a month. Three lives and more. One step for yesterday..." Luke hummed the song out of tune at the same time as the singer. "Act natural... We have to get a lot of attention if we want to continue with the plan." He whispered in her ear.

As he started to walk away, the Matriarch brought her left hand to his hair and pulled him forward.

"Do you think it's a good plan to draw attention to yourself? We're here to try to find a demon, not to expose our relationship."

"Alexis is already taking care of that." He said, stepped back, and smiled.

In the shadows away from all the overbearing stares, the half-dragon took advantage of the commotion generated by Ayumi's mere presence, to begin the main step of the outlined plan.

Nathalia didn't take long to realize that Luke and Ayumi's sudden approach was actually to conceal Alexis' presence. As soon as she deduced this, she let out a sigh of relief and smiled.

To the group's misfortune, there were plenty of places with drinks throughout the party, but since there was no bar, the plan was still possible. So, the redhead quickly infiltrated the crowds and used her agility to pour a drop into each of the mead, beer, and punch fountains she located.

However, as if by fate, right at the last fountain of beer drank a trio of drunks, who didn't even care about all the commotion generated.

"See that one? She's got an ass! I bet a sit-down would destroy you! Hahaha!" One of them spoke up, pointing to a woman in an orange dress.

"Wanna bet I'll fuck her and get her friend for free?" The fat man in the group replied, his eyes already half fallen from so much alcohol.

Alexis didn't think to stop with the plan and although this fountain was far away from the core of the party, which was the dance floor and the stage, it was also the closest place to the service exit.

"Hey, hey, look at that one coming!" The third member of the trio tried to whisper to his friends, however, he was so drunk that he didn't even realize he spoke up.

"Ohhh! This one's fucking hot!"

Before the third could say anything, she made a quick sign with her right hand and whispered:

"<Styre>."

p Then everyone in the trio spoke together:

"I think I drank too much."

"We'd better get back to the hotel."

"Yeah... My head is spinning."

Finally, the last fountain was intoxicated with the elixir that Alexis herself had prepared for the occasion. Now, all that remained was to wait and have a little luck, for the second demon to finally reveal itself.
