Chapter 365: Crazy Party (1)

Sorry guys, it was Christmas, so you know...

...

In the end, Liu Ying agreed reluctantly to the post as sub-leader of [Machine Revolutio] and leader of the combat section.

Honestly, she did not want to do such a bothersome thing, but considering that she was Bloed's girlfriend and that she should support him when he needed her help, she agreed.

Bloed was confident that she would do it well. Even if Liu Ying seemed like a muscle brain, the truth was that she was very smart. If she wanted, she could easily lead the club just as well as Bloed.

Unfortunately, she did not like to waste time on that kind of thing and preferred to train her combat skills instead.

Even so, Bloed thought that it was good if she developed her leadership skills. Something like that could be very useful in the future; and making her the sub-leader of the combat section was the perfect chance to give her experience leading others.

With Liu Ying convinced, Bloed thought that it was time to determine the positions of the rest of the group.

In the end, it ended like this:

Bloed Norman: Leader of [Machine Revolutio] - Leader of the knowledge section.

Liu Ying: Sub-leader of [Machine Revolutio] - Leader of the combat section.

Aya: Sub-leader of [Machine Revolutio] - Sub-leader of the combat section.

Princess Elwha: Honorary Sub-leader of [Machine Revolutio].

Gina: Secretary of [Machine Revolutio] - Sub-leader of the knowledge section.

Sara: Leader of the disciplinary committee.

Prince Calisto: Leader of the Information Gathering department.

The reason Regina was not on the list was that she was not a student. Technically, she could not interfere with the affairs of the club.

Fortunately, Regina did not care about that. According to her, she was happy being Bloed's servant and did not want to waste her time on anything else.

Of course, Bloed did not consider her a servant, but as a Valkyrie created by Camilla to serve Bloed, Regina always considered serving Bloed as her greatest priority.

Bloed was also a bit surprised when Gina requested to become the sub-leader of the knowledge section. But she told him that she was interested in learning about science and technology, so he agreed.

Although for some reason, he had the feeling that the true reason she became the sub-leader of the knowledge section was to spend more time close to him.

Well, Gina seemed rather dedicated to learning about science and technology, so Bloed decided not to care about her hidden intentions.

Just like that, the time for the party finally arrived.

When the night arrived, the club members gathered in the training hall for the celebratory party.

Despite calling it a party, the truth was that it was just a small gathering between friends. After all, including Regina and Diodora (who had not appeared again since the last time), [Machine Revolutio] only had ten members, so making an extravagant party was pointless.

It was just a friends' gathering with nice food and soft music as the background, during which the club members could get to know each other better.

The group was satisfied with this small celebration. In fact, the music sounding in the background surprised them. After all, that was not something that could be seen in this world.

Thanks to that, the group quickly bonded together. Even Toby, the most socially awkward of the group, was chatting with Prince Calisto with a smile on his face before long.

Sara and Princess Elwha also hit off for some reason, and at some point, they had started to talk about different topics as they ate the food Regina prepared. Bloed was a bit surprised when the two of them became close so quickly.

As for the others, they were surrounding Bloed and talking 'happily'.

Regina was seated at his right with a calm expression, occasionally commenting about something or feeding Bloed some dish. Meanwhile, Liu Ying was seated on his left, imitating Regina's actions.

Gina had tried to sit in Bloed's lap, but she had been fended off by Liu Ying that looked at her with an irritated expression.

However, the honey-haired girl did not seem to learn the lesson and continued pestering 'her hero' like a lively fangirl.

Finally, Aya was seated in front of Bloed silently, occasionally looking at Bloed before blushing and lowering her head.

Bloed thought that the party would end peacefully like this. Unfortunately for him, his wish did not come true.

Because at some point, Liu Ying brought out some bottles she bought in the afternoon.

"Alcohol?" Bloed asked with a raised eyebrow.

Liu Ying grinned. "My dad and brothers liked to drink when they partied. I always asked them if I could drink as well, but they said that it was only for adults. Thus, when you mentioned a party, I thought, why not?"

"Is it so? However, none of us has drunk before, right?"

Bloed looked at Liu Ying, Gina, and Aya, who shook their heads simultaneously.

Seeing that, he could not help but sigh.

Then, he looked at the bottle of alcohol with a hesitating expression.

In this world, drinking at fifteen was not unusual. In fact, some people started drinking when they were twelve or thirteen years old.

Bloed had never drunk alcohol, but he did not mind it. In fact, he thought it could be a good experience.

But for some reason, he had the feeling something bad would happen tonight if he opened the bottles.

Unfortunately, someone grabbed the bottles before he could react.

"Wine, huh? It has been the last time since I got drunk." Princess Elwha said with a nostalgic expression and opened the bottle. She then grabbed a cup nearby and filled it with wine.

After that, she offered it to Sara.

"Want some?"

Sara hesitated slightly.

" I have never drunk, so"

"Come on, nothing will happen. Plus, it's just a bit of wine."

Sara was not sure, but when she saw Elwha's encouraging expression, she sighed and grabbed the cup.

At the same time, Liu Ying and Gina opened the other bottle curiously and served a cup for each, (including Regina).

In the end, the entire group drank a bit of wine except for Regina, who refused calmly. Even Bloed drank a pair of sips influenced by the mood.

Nothing happened at the start, and the party continued calmly. But less than half an hour later, Bloed noticed that something was wrong.

At some point, Liu Ying, Aya, and Gina's faces had turned slightly flushed.

'Are they drunk already? So fast!?'

But while he was surprised by the girls' low alcohol tolerance, Gina giggled softly and jumped into his arms.

" My hero W-When are you going to give me a kiss?"

Bloed stiffened. And at the same time, he felt the gazes of Regina and Liu Ying becoming sharp.

Even Aya's ears and tail stood up warily.

Helpless, Bloed could only sigh and pat her head.

" Gina, you are drunk. You should go to rest."

"I'm not drunk! P-Plus, my hero only pays attention to sister Regina and Sister Liu Ying D-Does my hero not care about me?"

"This girl!" Liu Ying was incensed. She immediately pulled Gina away and sat on Bloed's lap as though declaring her property. "What do you think you are doing with my boyfriend!?"

"Sister Liu Ying is so mean! Please just share him just a bit!"

"No! Go and get your own boyfriend!"

"So mean" Gina pouted with a wronged expression. She looked at Bloed and Liu Ying resentfully before looking towards the nearby cat girl.

"Aya, come and help me!"

" Huh?"

"We should team up and steal my hero from these girls!"

" Mm. You are right"

Then, to Bloed's surprise, the usually shy cat girl stood up and hugged his left arm, rubbing her head against his shoulder.

" So warm I like it very much"

"Hehe, good idea" Gina giggled softly and rushed towards Bloed's right arm, hugging it too.

Bloed was completely speechless.

These drunk girls... They were crazy!

Right now, he had Liu Ying on his lap, Aya hugging his left arm, and Gina hugging his right arm.

But despite how enviable it seemed; the truth was that his back was filled with cold sweat.

Because he could feel Regina looking at him with a sharp and freezing glare.

Bloed was sure he had never seen Regina so jealous before.

Furthermore, Princess Elwha was looking at him as though he was a womanizing scum. He had the feeling that her opinion of him became several times lower.

"R-Regina, can you help me?"

Regina glared at Bloed coldly and snorted. Then, she stood up and walked away.

" Someone is knocking on the door. I'll see who it is. Master should take care of the vixens yourself."

"R-Regina?"

But the silver-haired Valkyrie did not reply and just left with a displeased expression.

Dumbfounded, Bloed looked once more to the three girls giggling as they hugged him and fought against each other.

Helpless, he could only look towards Princess Elwha and Sara to ask for help.

Unfortunately, he was met with Elwha's look of disgust and Sara's dazed expression.

"Shameless." Elwha spat out.

Bloed did not know whether to laugh or to cry.
