Chapter 230: Drunk Commander

“Y-You...!”

Lith’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

“A-Always making fun of me. Unbelievable. Now everyone is in on it... This is just... Just great...”

Instead of the person that the female Granilith had decided to support, the person that appeared was a way too drunk Roka.

“I’m the... The Commander, you know?”

Hiccup!

“Hahaha...” The very very drunk Roka chuckled, amused by her own hiccup. “A-Anyways, don’t change the subject, alright? Oh... Liz, you’re here.”

“H-Hi... Commander.” Liz scratched her cheek. “Where...?”

“Here and there...” Hiccup! “Here and there... Hahaha... I was uh... I was making sure that nothing bad happened!” Roka explained, holding her index finger up. “Making sure that... You know. No harm reaches my people!”

“Yeah...?” Liz pressed her lips together. “I think you’re a bit too drunk for that.”

“D-D-Drunk?” Hiccup! “Who is? I’m certainly n-not! You are though... Hahaha! Sitting in his laaaap! Don’t think I didn’t see! Y-You better have asked for consent! I don’t want to be held responsible for... For all that... Anyways...”

“Looks like you need to sleep it off.”

“No, YOU need to sleep it off!” Roka shouted, not even knowing who had said that. “Oh! It’s you!” She added, realizing that the Paru was the one speaking. “Hahaha! Did you think I would forget? Changing the subject won’t help you!” Roka muttered as she walked closer. “Y... You! Always making fun of me and...” Hiccup! “Teasing me for... Stuff!”

‘Oh. Looks like she’s not so drunk that she would ignore Liz’s presence.’

“Hey! Hey!” Roka exclaimed as she snapped her fingers repeatedly. “Are you listening? This is important! Yeah, you might have... Saved us and... Saved the mission and... Turned us from absolute failures to heroes and... But!” Roka lifted her index finger as she tilted her head downward and to the side. “But! I still have my... My pride, and all that! When it comes to... You know!”

As hilarious as Cero found this, he really didn’t want to go further.

Sure, he could act like he didn’t know, but that could lead to Roka revealing her secret. Something that she would, no doubt, regret the next day, once the stupor has faded.

“I know, I know.” He answered somewhat reluctantly.

“Well if you know, then there’s something...” Hiccup!” Something else you need to know!”

“Yeah? What’s that?”

“Th-Th-Those...”

The next sentence coming from Roka’s mouth truly shocked Liz.

Roka’s lips parted, but no words exited her mouth.

“Alright, Commander.” Liz tapped Roka’s shoulder. “Time to head in.”

“N-No! There are still things I gotta tell this guy!”

“You can do that tomorrow.”

“No! I can’t do it tomorrow! It has to be now! Today!” Hiccup! “I can say it again tomorrow, but I gotta say it now!”

“I... Don’t know about that.” Liz sighed. “We’ll drag you inside, if you force us too.”

“Don’t think I can’t... We? Who’s we?”

Liz pointed behind her with her thumb.

“I brought muscle with me.”

The female Granilith scratched her nose, her gaze moving from right to left.

“Yeah, right.” Roka rolled her eyes. “So anyways, what I was saying is-”

“Come on, Commander.” Liz grabbed her arm. “We’re going in.”

“No! No! I need to-” Hiccup! “I’m your Commander!! Stop!!!”

“Nu-uh.”

Roka found herself unable to fight back against Liz’s pulling due to her light-headedness and stupor.

“What’s happening here?” Raya asked suddenly.

The sudden question broke Liz’s focus and allowed Roka to slip away from her grasp.

“I...”

A moment was enough for her lips to reach his ear again.

“Touch myself while thinking about you.”

Before he could respond or react, Roka was pulled away.

“N-Not you too!” The Commander complained, her left arm in Liz’s hands, and her right arm in Lith’s.
