I had to save the world to support my family

"Don't, don't be too exaggerated! Stop and really can't—"

"What are you talking about~ Let go! Let go! I'm not drunk, look how sober I am!"

"Hey, hey, I'm the one who got drunk, okay?" In an accommodating and helpless begging tone, "It's been too long since I've been out, it's time to go home?"

"What... I finally relaxed, why are you so fast-hiccup, go back so soon..."

Under the watchful eyes of all the drinkers, Jiro Tachi bite the bullet and snatched the empty white porcelain bowl from the judge's hand, which took a lot of effort.

And the calm, mature and rational judge when he first entered the door, his attitude has changed from "Drinking is wrong and hurts my body, I won't touch my aunt" to "Ah, does anyone have to be interested in drinking? Then I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman." , and eventually developed irreversibly into "I'm not drunk, I'm really not drunk, believe me, I'll have another drink for you to see", and under Jiro's persuasive temptation, he became a complete alcoholic.

It wasn't until it was dark that Fu Sangshen, who was very nervous, became vaguely aware that he seemed to be playing too much.

"No, it's time to go!"

He glanced drunkenly at the full wine jar, calmed down a bit, and picked up the little god judge with a hey yo: "It's over, it's over, I'm sure I'll be nagged to death~"

The girl who was submerged in the alcohol smell with him half-closed her eyes, as if she didn't realize what happened, her outstretched right hand fumbled in the air in vain, and finally grabbed Jiro Tachi's open skirt in aggrieved way.

"Will... be scolded? Why..."

"The only ones who will be scolded are others, really—"

Jiro's cheeks were stained with a drunken blush, and his eyes were as bright as falling into stars.He stepped out of the warm yellow candlelight of the wine house into the cool night outside the door, tightened his arms imperceptibly, and complained half-truthfully.

"Obviously it's not someone who got drunk. I advised you to stop, right my lord! You ended up drinking like this, but it has nothing to do with Jiro!"

The girl wrapped in his purple sleeve robe made a serious "hmmmm" sound, shivered a little, and moved closer to the heat source.

"It's not your fault, it's not your fault~ I won't let Jiro get scolded!"

Fu Sangshen's playful expression froze for a moment, and then changed into something more real and warm.

He looked left and right, and after confirming that there were no acquaintances on the street, he quietly lowered his head and whispered.

"Because wine is really delicious, huh? I want my lord to taste this kind of taste too... If you are not careful, you will overdo it."

At that time, it was just a habitual instigation and agitation, or some other small thoughts hidden, it is hard to tell.

But now, looking at the flushed cheeks in his arms, the vacant eyes and the gesture of complete entrustment, even the breath is the same as his, his favorite smell-subtle, vague, temporarily satisfying a certain Addiction in the bones.

[Please like what I like. 】

【In this case, will you also like me a little more by the way? 】

"Wow, this looks very obscene, like a pervert with malicious intentions. But, you still have to seize the opportunity to ask! ——Does the lord like him a little bit? Just a little bit?"

"A little bit……"

"A little more is fine. So the answer is?"

"Well--"

"It's really evil to torture people like this when you're drunk." Zhu Hong raised his eyeliner, and Jiro Tachi asked in a coquettish voice, "Jiro is very capable! Well, it's only a little worse than my brother... so my lord , do you want to try to like him?"

"'Try'?"

Slurred due to drunkenness, the drowsy inquisitor pressed his scorching cheek to his chest, and the ending sound vaguely echoed his expectation.

"In that case, no way."

"Ah, sure enough—"

"Are you scared? Because of me, I like Jiro very much."

In order to get rid of those trivial noises, Fu Sangshen's footsteps gradually stopped.

How much I like it... No, it should be said, how sincere are these words?

"It's a coincidence that we met here."

Before he could organize his chaotic thoughts into words, the unexpected boy's voiceless voice sounded nearby.Jiro Tachi raised his head in astonishment, and the remaining drunkenness gradually dissipated in the night wind.

"Current affairs, my lord priest?"

He raised his hand subconsciously, trying to slightly cover the face of the girl in his arms, and distanced himself calmly.The despised priest seemed unaware, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Did you drink too much? It smells so strong. When I sent you to the new owner, I couldn't hand over face to face. I was worried that there would be problems in the running-in. Now it seems that we get along very well."

Before Fu Sangshen, who was dressed as an oiran, could answer, the young man immediately asked: "Are you the only one at the reception for the god judges? Monopoly is not a commendable act, Jiro."

"How can anyone—"

A cold hand silently stretched out from his bosom, with five fingers vacantly covering Jiro Tachi's lips, and pressed back the unspoken words.

"Current affairs guy, it's you again."

The boy covered the lower half of his face with the white fan unfolded, and his slightly wide-open pupils contained complex meanings.There are people coming and going in the street market of Wanwu, only this corner seems to be separated by an invisible curtain, and even the air is heavy.

"You are really indifferent. This word is too unfriendly. Since we met by fate, you should tell me my name..."

"Not interested in."

The black-haired girl raised her upper body with difficulty, and leaned her drowsy head on Jiro's shoulder.

"A name is an identifier used to distinguish individuals. But it doesn't matter to me whether it is you or other men or women sent by the current affairs."

"Let me remind you that you are still enjoying the gift of current affairs. Is this attitude really good?"

"Ah, here we go again. Always pretend to be a benefactor," said a hoarse voice tainted by alcohol, now with undisguised anguish. Look, that's the most annoying thing."

The young man hummed lightly.

"You always come back to Honmaru, which means that the bond is still working. Let me ask, was the previous trip enjoyable?"

"Oh, such an obvious trap, do you think I'm completely~drunk? Although I don't care about the messy regulations of current affairs, it's not so stupid as to be true."

She blinked slowly, looking more awake than usual.Just when Jiro Tachi was silently shocked by the judge's drinking capacity, the latter hiccupped and changed his complaints into a more intense response.

"You should know what I have done. Please feel free to dismiss me - but I will not let go of what belongs to me."

The boy snapped his fan shut, put the tip against his chin, and put on a pensive look.The appraiser sniffed, and tried to shrink into a ball in Jiro Tachi's arms: "Yeah, it's time to go back. If you hang around, you will be cut and nagged to death by the candlestick!"

Taro Tachi understood, smiled and let her hang her arms up, walked around the priest like a eucalyptus tree with legs, and strode forward.

"That's right, if you blow the wind again, you will definitely catch a cold. See you later, Lord Priest."

Sighing for a long time, the boy thoughtfully tapped his palm with his fan, but he didn't intend to follow.

"This is not something that can be solved by evading all the time. Whether we want to repay favors or blackmail maliciously, that power must not be wasted like this. It is the best choice to be in charge of current affairs. ——It seems that we must take Measures to urge you to make the right decision."

The girl's reply was wrapped in the night wind, and the meaning in it was even colder than his.

"I am waiting."

……

The political envoy who was sure that the visitor was not good had been left far away, Jiro Tachi finally couldn't bear it, and tentatively stretched out his hand to poke the God Judge's shoulder.

The latter opened his eyes half asleep and half awake, stared at him for a long time, and then said slowly: "Why, should I get up and eat?"

"It's okay to stay in bed for a while. But it's too boring to be alone. If you're awake, why not talk to someone else!"

"Cheat—people—want to ask about current affairs."

Seeing the slightly widened golden eyes of the Otachi, the drunken girl laughed amusedly.

"It's a very trivial and old-fashioned story. But in the final analysis, Jiro just remembers a little."

She raised her hand and touched the top of Fu Sangshen's head affectionately with her usual comforting movements, not caring at all about the sense of disobedience caused by the height difference between the two.

"Meeting you is the beginning of my new life... I don't mean to be exaggerated. I have thought a lot during this time... What kind of people do I regard as enemies?"

【This kind of world, don't you think it's boring? 】

This is the reason why Bailan Jesso and Enoshima Dunko, who claimed to know her true nature, revealed it to her when they mentioned the cause of disrupting order.

"...I seem to be gradually understanding."

She was silent for a long time, and Fu Sangshen, who had been walking for so long, had vaguely seen the gate of Honmaru.

"Jiro, there is a saying that 'people will eventually become what they hate the most'."

"I don't think so. After all, it's the path I chose. Of course, being happy is the most important thing! If you think that staying the same is more important than your mood, then it's the so-called 'intention', right? Being able to keep the original intention is also very powerful. Ya~"

"Hey, it's fine to you anyway." The girl turned her head and glanced at the door, with a helpless smile on her face, "I don't want to change yet."

The big sword spun a few times outside the door, quietly pushed the door open a small crack, and looked inside holding his breath.Unexpectedly, in the next second, the door was slammed open by someone from inside, followed by a substantive sound that knocked him backwards.

"What time is it?!!! You still know to come back!!!"

"Ahahaha, I had so much fun, I guess I forgot about us."

"Master—are you drunk?! You actually drank too much, it's all due to my servant's dereliction of duty..."

"General, what does the wine taste like? Is it as sweet as sugar water?"

"Sorry... brother, he is too close to the world..."

"That's not something a child can touch. I'll go and make some soup to sober up. I can only help with this. I'm really ashamed."

……

Drunkenness returned.

Sweet, boozy, warm-colored nectar that makes people want to be intoxicated and never wake up.

Let the last sliver of clarity dissipate, with the uneasiness and joy of stealing treasures from other people's lives, quietly fall into a dark dreamland.

[I'm not bored. 】

【So, the chains that connect me and the past——】

[Please stay with me forever. 】
