Volume 1, Chapter 102 - Drunk Lily

Translator: Nexus

The dim yellow light of the lanterns illuminated the private room where three beauties of different types were gathering.

“Mom!” Nanako frowned, “Don’t make her drink, even if she looks well developed on the outside, she’s actually only one year older than me!”

Nanako took the remaining half of the sake and chugged it down.

“Ah! Nanako, what are you drinking!?” Kotoka asked in surprise.

“Tsk, so what if I’m drinking!” Apparently Nanako wasn’t happy as she continued to down her drink.

She also wasn’t sure why she didn’t feel happy.

Kotoka shook her head as she approached Lily, speaking to her, “Don’t be surprised, Miss Kagami. That is simply what this child is like, but as a part of my Saionji family, she has to get used to that amount of alcohol sooner or later, let her go at it.”

“Ah...” Lily forced a smile, how was it that Kotoka seemed like she didn’t care much about Nanako’s condition after learning she was fine when she was so surprised and worried at first?

‘While we’re at it, ma’am, would you mind taking your hand off my butt...’ Lily thought, however, the idea of needing to say that to another woman felt strange.

“So, since the little one is drinking, the older one should have no problem either, right? You are a samurai, correct? A samurai which doesn’t drink will be the laughing stock of all other warriors.”

The latter part of what Kotoka said was all nonsense, but Lily didn’t know that. She bought the nonsense since it sounded reasonable and hesitantly received the cup. Lily slowly put the cup to her lips and took a sip of the sake.

“Hm? W-what is this... so this is a sake?”

Lily asked as her body began to heat up nearly to the point of sweating. It only took a small amount of sake to put a blush on her face.

She didn’t know that her senior sister had never touched alcohol before in her entire life.

“Nnn...”

“I’m not drunk, the wine is drunk.”

She gently lifted up her long hair, revealing her white neck and ear that were giving off distinct fragrance of their own. Following that, she picked up the glass and wanted to drink more.

“Miss Kagami, apparently you can’t handle your alcohol, I advise you to stop drinking. Perhaps we should call it a night here?” Kotoka, who had experienced too many gatherings, was also worried about Lily’s drunkenness.

“Can’t hold my drink? Hmph!” Lily raised her head, draping her long hair to either side of her, raised her glass high, opened her mouth, and poured the sake into her mouth. However, majority of the sake missed Lily’s mouth, and instead fell down into the depths of the ravine that was her bosom.

“Ah...” Lily blushed, having noticed her mistake and too embarrassed to look at Kotoka, “I’m sorry, Madam... Lily stained the floor of your winehouse, it’s my fault for not listening to the madam, Lily was wrong......”

For a second there, Lily looked at Kotoka with earnest but watery eyes. It created a surreal scene where Kotoka was the madam and Lily being the clumsy servant or disobedient slave. However, since Kotoka was the owner of the winehouse and a figurative businesswoman in Sugura, she didn’t let Lily pull her into the delusion. In her heart, however, Kotoka was shocked, ‘This girl is really mysterious. She’s normally so strong and noble, but emits a natural spell of seduction when she’s drunk.’

“Nanako, get a towel.” After saying that, Kotoka took the cup from Lily’s hand who was too weak to hand it over on her own and then smoothed out samurai girl’s skirt so that she wouldn’t be indecent.

After that, she took the towel, opened the kimono’s neckline, and cleaned the spilled sake that marked her breasts before finally closing the kimono back.

“Kagami, you’re not drunk you’re just tired. We’re going to lead you away to get some rest,” Kotoka then turned to her daughter, “Nanako, order someone to go back quick and call the ox cart.”

The Saionji’s mansion was only two blocks away from the winehouse. After a few minutes, the cart returned carrying a very elegant sedan chair.

Kotoka and Nanako placed Lily on the sedan chair and went to the Saionji home.

Lily was still drunk on the ride, but since there was only room for one person in the cart, she couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

She sat on the flat floor of the sedan chair, her legs stretched to one side with her silky hair splayed all over. She twisted her chest and waist to lean her shoulder on the side of the box. She slightly parted the curtain to peer at the night scene of Suruga city.

Her gaze was absent-minded as she softly pressed her finger against the lips.

“Rei Onee-sama... where did she go with that annoying black horse? Will she come and bully me again? ...If I meet her again, I will not let her bully me.”

Lily sighed as she looked at the passing lights with her blurred vision, then she put down the curtain.
