I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1399: A Night Spent with Sieg ②

Taking out two glasses and our snacks, I sat down facing Sieg-san at the table provided in our room in the inn. The clear, slightly yellowish fruit wine had a sweet scent that made me feel relaxed.[Speaking of which, I don’t often see you drinking, Sieg-san?][I could only drink alcohol as strong as fruit wines, and I don’t even like alcohol that much…… or so I decided][You decided?][Yes, my body had been a wreck here and there before it was healed, and the doctor had told me not to drink alcoholic beverages in the first place, so I don’t drink. And so, the alcohol we drank together back in Rigforeshia was the first alcohol I’ve drank for several years.][I see……]Come to think of it, Sieg-san herself had mentioned that Sieg-san had a rather tattered body until she recovered from eating the Fruit of the World Tree, and that she had been glossing it over by constantly using Body Strengthening Magic.And about this matter, Sieg-san had been hiding it from Lilia-san and the others in order not to make them feel responsible, keeping it to herself……Certainly, if she had an injury as serious as that, it wouldn’t be strange if she got an alcohol ban from at least one doctor.

[However, after drinking for the first time in a long while, as expected, it was easy for me to get drunk. After that, I didn’t have a chance to drink, so I didn’t drink…… this alcohol we would be drinking today would also be my first time in a long while.][Then, we’d better keep the pace down then. There’s also water, so we can drink slowly……][……Well, as far as today is concerned, I want things to go with the momentum…… so I’d rather get drunk……][Unnn?][Ahh, no, it’s nothing!]Just now, she said it rather softly…… but she wanted to get drunk? With her personality, I thought Sieg-san would be the kind of person who wouldn’t want to be seen by others drunk……In the first place, Sieg-san had been acting a bit strange here and there today. Rather than anxious, it felt like Sieg-san was feeling kinda restless……. I thought that was because she was having a lot of fun at the interaction event, but there are some instances where that reasoning can’t explain.In the first place, both of us have Teleportation Magic Tools, and even though we haven’t talked about this in advance, it was strange that she booked an inn and assumed we would be staying the night.If it had been the usual Sieg-san, she would have consulted with me in advance if she planned to stay the night but…… such a thing didn’t happen this time.On the contrary, there was also her current state, seemingly trying to force her way forward with the momentum, in a way that isn’t like her…… Follow current on novel-online.com

This is just my guess, but perhaps, for example, she had some goal in mind, but she had been hesitating and couldn’t bring it up until today. However, as she had a great opportunity and had already prepared herself, it seemed like she was determined to put it into action.And then, there were also those few instances…… That statement she made earlier…… Her eyes moving restlessly from time to time, and the complex emotions conveyed by my Sympathy Magic…… The answer I can draw out from those…… Errr, in other words, was she thinking about doing that?[……Sieg-san, your pace is a little too fast. Please drink some water for a moment.][Eh, errr…… Yes.][Also, ummm…… You don’t have to try to get drunk.][……Eh? Errr……]This is just a guess, but I don’t really think I was mistaken here. It’s just, as expected, Sieg-san flinching quite a bit, getting us a twin room, trying to get drunk on purpose, and her occasional mutters of trying to gather courage here and there……I could certainly pretend as if I didn’t know what was going on, but it would be quite shameless of me as a man to just wait for Sieg-san to lead in everything.[Since we have a great opportunity, I want to have a drink while leisurely and happily talking with you.][Uuuu, errr…… Kaito-san, I- I was trying to get drunk on purpose……] Follow current on storynovel.net

[I’m sorry, I heard what you were just mumbling earlier……][Auuu…… Errr, you see, about this……][Sieg-san, why did you go to the trouble of getting us a twin room…… Errr, why don’t we sleep like we did back in Rigforeshia?][ ! ? ……Ah, y- yes.]In the unlikely event that this really was just my misunderstanding, I would be so embarrassed that I would wanna die, so I tried to make a slightly roundabout suggestion…… but it seems like my prediction wasn’t wrong, as Sieg-san, her blush reaching to her ears, nodded.When she gives me that kind of reaction, I also get strangely nervous but…… well, I could never get drunk, so I can’t really try escaping from these emotions with alcohol.[F- For the time being, let’s just relax and enjoy the alcohol!][Y- Y- You’re right! Let’s do that!]Both of us flustered, we started drinking…… but needless to say, it took us some time before we composed ourselves.Serious-senpai : [S- Stooooooop! Go turn back to being deaf and slow like you were back in Rigforeshia! Stop trying to show off how much of a protagonist you are, actually exhibiting that seldomly shown ability to guess things right!!!]
