I had never seen Claire as devastated as she was right now...
Claire: "Ahh! I can't believe it!"
Licia: "What's wrong?"
Claire: "It's over..."
Even when recounting the events that brought her end, she didn't break down like now.
She's very strong in both battle and mind, so it's always surprising to see this more delicate side of hers.
It's even more of a shock to me when her sadness is the result of-
Anna: "Are you alright?"
Miwen: "Yeah... I'm just processing this..."
Anna: "You better get your head back into the game, or else, you'll die."
Much as I'd like, I can't really argue otherwise since Anna has me completely cornered, and for me to get out of this I'm gonna need to give it all my atten-
Mia: "You can still win! Go for a double attack like you did before!"
Ellie: "Nooo! Focus on brock... I mean block... bl-block! it"
With Mia pulling my hair and Ellie shaking me by the shoulder, it suddenly became a real problem for me to do any of their suggestions. and my loss was all but confirmed.
That is until a miracle happened.
The great support provided by Beatrice, who happened to fall right at Anna's side, managed to distract her for just a single moment, leaving me with a brief window of opportunity to seize victory.
Miwen: "You're quite the sneaky one huh? Almost had me."
Anna: "No way, I was so close."
Mia: "It's my turn now!"
Miwen: "Yeah, you'll go against Anna though, I need to check on Beatrice and Claire."
The girls were so engrossed in the game that they didn't immediately offer help to Beatrice.
Even though it was clear she hadn't hurt herself, she still seemed to have trouble getting up, and not extending a hand to her would be rather inconsiderate.
Miwen: "You fine? Maybe you had one too much..."
I extended my hand and helped her get up, given her current state, it seemed like it was the right choice, or else, she might've decided to stay collapsed on the floor.
Beatrice: "S-sorry... I got dizzy at the wrong moment it seems."
Miwen: "Sure, but take it easy alright? I'll take a look at what's going on with Claire."
Even though Licia was trying to calm her, she was still sobbing for some reason, given everyone's joyful mood, it was a bit strange.
Out of everyone, I'd expect her to be one of the most energetic in a situation such as this, and up until moments ago, she actually was, so the change in her behavior is a bit concerning.
Miwen: "Licia, what happened to her?"
Licia: "I'm trying to figure out but she-"
Claire: "M-miwen... it's all over... there's no more beer..."
I see, so this is what it was all about huh?
Even though she was happily drinking and playing with us, the moment the beer ended she got like this... I really didn't predict she'd be this kind of drunk.
Miwen: "Did you look in the freezer?"
Claire: "Heh? I forgor~"
Miwen and Licia: "Pfft!"
Man, it was hard not to burst into laughter at that moment. Claire had managed to reach the pinnacle of both silliness and cuteness.
Miwen: "...Must've been a pussycat."
Mia: "I see, I hadn't heard that sound before... we didn't have those back home..."
Though I've managed to hide what might be happening in the kitchen from Mia, I ended up reminding her of-
Licia and Claire: "Ahn! Ah!"
...
Mia: "And what was that?"
Miwen: "I think it's two horny pussies, must be their mating season or something."
Mia: "Makes sense, I thought it sounded a bit like moaning for a sec."
Miwen: "Yeah, let's leave them be."
Though I called it a dilemma earlier, it's not really a problem or anything like that. It's a bit weird to wrap my mind the more I think about it, but I don't really care either.
I've noticed some comments and gazes from Licia towards Claire's body when I'm with them in bed, and with their relationship evolving in that direction, I think it might be fun to have a threesome with them while we all lust for each other's bodies instead of doing them in order like usual.
So, I might actually be a bit excited about how open they may become to such ideas.
Miwen: "More importantly though, it's my turn."
Anna managed to beat Ellie and now it was my time at the controller again.
I took Ellie's position on the couch and Mia started to talk with her while Beatrice seemed pretty tired and was beginning to doze off.
While we were playing, Licia and Claire came from the Kitchen, prompting Anna to quickly pause the game.
Licia: "Um... we're a bit tired, so we'll be heading out first, alright?"
Miwen: "Sure, have fun."
Claire: "You got it."
I feel like one of them is not that good at keeping things secret, but given everyone's current state, I don't think anyone noticed.
Beatrice who was barely awake by now, also decided to leave so that she could rest at the [Kingdom].
Mia had taken Ellie hostage and started talking a lot with her about a bunch of things, telling stories that made no sense and didn't even end properly before she started another one.
Ellie was clearly having a hard time, so much so she had a pleading look on her face toward Anna and me.
Seeing that, we decided to put on a movie so that we wouldn't risk changing places with her.
Halfway through the movie, Ellie had enough and basically begged me to let her go, of course, I let Mia go too, so I don't know if she actually managed to escape.
Now though, it was just Anna and I on the couch, and she had decided to use my lap as a pillow to rest her head oh, leaving me in quite a hard situation.
I chose not to dwell on it too much because the situation was oddly cozy. In fact, I found myself running my fingers gently through her hair as we both relaxed on the couch.
Things started to change though, more specifically, when she asked me a hard-hitting question...
Anna: "Aren't you gonna have fun with your girls too?"
The way she phrased it made it clear that she understood what was happening in the bedroom right now as much as I did.
It couldn't be helped though, the girls weren't being exactly loud, but some sounds could still be heard, and seeing how Anna actually managed to hold her alcohol pretty well...
Yeah, there was no hiding it from her.
Miwen: "They let me do them whenever I feel like it, so I'll let them have their fun with each other tonight..."
Anna: "I see... but isn't it a bit lonely for you? Want me to suck you off?"
Miwen: "Nah it's fi- Wait, what?"
She turned her head towards my chest, facing away from the TV and while looking at me she started to unbutton my pants.
Miwen: "What are you doing ?"
Anna: "Don't mind me..."
Except there was no way I could just ignore this.
