Chapter 2267: Intoxicated

Chapter 2267: Intoxicated



Soon after we finished lunch, I found out that I was too optimistic in thinking that they wouldn't get drunk from those chocolates.

When I took over to clean the table, I found the two cousins taking another piece of the chocolate, saying that was the dessert before graciously leaving me the final piece.

Right. Because I walked away, Eimi already munched down the whole piece before I could get to her. As for Anzu-nee... she just looked as intoxicated as her cousin.

The two giggled as they watched me, making it difficult for me to decide whether to laugh or

"Alright, you two. Let's sit down and watch something," I suggested, hoping that it might keep them distracted while the alcohol from the chocolates wore off.

They both nodded, but upon seeing me not taking the last piece of chocolate they left for me, Eimi's eyes widened. "Ruki, don't forget your dessert!"

She picked it up and fed it to me herself.

Her soft, gentle hands caressed my cheek as she held the piece of chocolate to my lips. I could see the innocence in her eyes as if she still had no idea of its effect on her. I couldn't resist her sweetness though, so I still took the chocolate, the taste of alcohol stronger than before because it was a whole piece rather than half.

I had no idea if I could continue not being affected by it. But I had to keep my composure. I couldn't just let them get wild on their own. For sure, they'd feel drowsy soon enough so... I just had to accompany them before it hit them.

We settled into the living room, the TV playing a random anime series that they had been watching.

However, before I knew it, Anzu-nee leaned into me, her head resting comfortably on my shoulder. On the other hand, Eimi was curled up on my lap, comfortably using my chest as her backrest.

I could understand Eimi but for Anzu-nee to also act like this... did she forget that she's not supposed to get close to me while Eimi was around? Or maybe, she eased up on it after telling the girl about last week? Whichever the case, this showed that she had also started relying on me. Not just her 'little brother' but more as her man.

I had to admit, it was quite tempting to let myself go and enjoy this moment with Eimi. But then again, this was her in an intoxicated state. She might not remember anything and it was also going to be scummy of me to take advantage of her vulnerable state. It's not like we cannot do it again when she's sober.

As gently as possible, I carried her off of my lap for a moment. Then, I turned to Anzu-nee and helped her lie down on the sofa.

Once that was done, I picked up Eimi who was already close to falling asleep. She was purring like a cat in my arms as I carried her to her room.

Since this wasn't my first time here, navigating to her room wasn't difficult but opening her door was.

Perhaps sensing the sudden shaking as I reached for the knob, Eimi tightened her arms around my neck, her eyes fluttering open slightly. "R-Ruki... where are we...?"

"Your room. I'll tuck you in bed. You should rest and let the effect of the chocolates wear off."

I whispered gently to her.

However, maybe understanding that I might leave after settling her down, Eimi protested with a sleepy murmur, "Don't go, Ruki. Stay with me..."

Her voice was soft and filled with a childlike vulnerability that made it impossible for me to refuse. I nodded and carried her over to the bed. I laid her down gently, her eyes half-closed as she watched me with a lazy gaze.

Succumbing to that needy expression, I climbed up and lay down next to her.

Eimi giggled in delight as she slotted herself into my embrace, her lips awaiting the warmth

of another kiss.

Could I still resist this temptation? Obviously not. But at least, I knew what I had to do. To satisfy my girl until she falls asleep.

As my arms tightened around her, I leaned in to capture her lips with a gentle peck, the taste of chocolate and Eimi's sweetness melding together.
