episode_0019

After drinking all night, we prepared to go home when the owner of the bar announced that they were closing.

I strangely couldn’t handle the alcohol and ended up passed out on the bar.

“Oh my, Mari is completely drunk.”

Rotus shook my shoulder as I lay on the bar.

“Ugh… Ugh…”

I groaned as he shook my shoulder, scrunching my brows.

“Mari! Mari!”

Aramis called out, patting my cheek, but I was too drunk to respond properly, just mumbling incoherently.

“She must have had a good time.”

Rotus lightly tapped my temple with his index finger.

“So… who’s going to take Mari to the inn?”

Leaving me asleep from the alcohol, the three of them began to ponder.

“My house is east of the bar.”

Aramis pointed east and said.

“My house is in that direction too, you know?”

“Ugh… then I guess I’ll have to take Mari with me.”

“I suppose so.”

Laurent sighed and lifted me onto his back.

“Do you know where Mari’s inn is?”

“Yes, I went there with her last time we went drinking.”

“Alright, then I’ll take Aramis’s carriage home.”

“Who said they would give me a ride?”

“…”

“Just kidding.”

“Laurent, take care of Mari.”

Rotus and Aramis patted Laurent’s shoulder and then went home.

“Oh, wait.”

As Rotus was getting on the carriage, he suddenly got off and approached Laurent.

“Ugh…”

He pinched my cheek, making me make a strange noise.

“Really leaving now.”

“Ugh… this is crazy…”

I sighed as I watched them ride away with me on the carriage.

“Mari, do I owe you?”

Laurent muttered to himself as I slept on his back, not answering.

#

Arriving at Mari’s inn, Laurent passed through the dark hallway and entered Mari’s room.

“We finally made it.”

Laurent turned on the mana lamp and laid me on the bed.

“Ugh…”

As I lay on the soft bed, I woke up from my sleep.

“Oh… home?”

I got up from the bed, holding my head as if it was about to split from the hangover.

“Oh my… my head…”

“Oh, you were resting so peacefully, but now you’re up.”

Laurent handed me a glass of water.

“Oh, thank you.”

I drank the water Laurent gave me.

“It seems you were brought to the inn.”

“No, I’ll leave now, so rest well.”

“Wait!”

As Laurent turned to leave, I called out to stop him.

“I’m awake now, and the night is still young.”

I took out two bottles of alcohol from the cabinet.

“Let’s have a drink in my room.”

I took out glasses and placed them on the table with the alcohol.

“The person who just said their head hurt from the hangover is suggesting this?”

Laurent sat down, pouring a full glass of alcohol with a bewildered expression.

“Oh! It’s overflowing! Quickly, get a glass.”

Laurent sat at the table, taking the glass I handed him.

“Cheers!”

Clang!

The glasses clinked, and we both downed the alcohol in one go.

“Ah… that’s good.”

After a few drinks, the alcohol started to warm my body.

“Why is it so hot?”

Clang!

As I went to open the window, the glass hit my arm and fell to the floor.

“Oh…”

I stared blankly at the shattered glass for a while.

“It’s broken…”

I sat down, picking up the broken glass pieces.

“It’s dangerous.”

Laurent warned me as I picked up the glass pieces.

“I’ll clean it up later.”

“Really…?”

I nodded and sat back down.

My cup was broken, so I picked up Laurent’s glass and started drinking.

“Sigh…”

Laurent looked at me with a tired expression.

“Laurent, come and have a drink too.”

“I’m fine…”

“Oh no! The drink spilled!”

Laurent took the glass from me and drank.

I drank from the glass Laurent had just drunk from, and then Laurent drank from the glass I had just drunk from.

Unaware that the Orange Sapphire’s effects could be transmitted through the saliva of an addict, we continued to drink, passing the glass back and forth until the alcohol ran out.

“Huh…? Why isn’t the alcohol coming out…?”

I turned the bottle upside down and shook it vigorously, but not a drop came out of the bottle’s mouth.

“Oh… sorry. Let me go get some more alcohol from the kitchen…”

I staggered to my feet.

“No, please sit and rest.”

Laurent stood up, sensing my unease.

As I tried to push past Laurent, my body suddenly leaned towards him.

“Huh?!”

Laurent tried to catch me as I stumbled, but ended up falling with me.

He made sure I didn’t get hurt by embracing me and turning his body so that his back hit the ground first.

Thud!

As we fell, Laurent ended up lying on the floor with me on top of him.

“Oh… sorry, I made a mistake… oh.”

He tried to get up again, but his legs gave out, and he sat back down on the floor.

Laurent stood up, brushing the dust off his body.

“What did I tell you? Rest now. It’s not too late to drink in the evening.”

I sat on the floor, looking at Laurent with blank eyes.

Looking up at him from below, I began to notice things I hadn’t seen before.

Laurent’s slightly wavy black hair, thick eyebrows, and ruggedly handsome face, even his broad shoulders, made me think of a beastly duke from a novel my younger sister used to read.

“Haha… you look quite manly…”

Seeing Laurent’s masculine appearance made me feel pitiful for having turned into a woman.

“Some become women and… ”

I splashed my face with cold water and let out a deep sigh.

Suddenly, self-doubt crept in.

“No, Marie is a very impressive person.”

“Thanks for the kind words.”

I reached out my arm to him while sitting on the floor.

“…?”

As Laurent hesitated, I puffed out my cheeks.

I wondered what I was doing. I was getting angry because he didn’t help me up, even though I could have gotten up on my own.

Being drunk seemed to be making me act more like a woman.

“Just… help me up.”

But my legs were too weak to stand up.

“Alright.”

Laurent lifted me up like a princess.

“Eek?!”

I thought he would just help me up, but suddenly he lifted me like a princess, and I couldn’t help but let out a girlish scream.

As he carried me to the bed, I could smell his scent.

After drinking for hours in the tavern, the sharp smell of alcohol mixed with his scent entered my nose.

“Phew…”

Being held by him made me feel a rush of heat, and my lower abdomen tingled.

‘Is this… a hangover?’

As Armand had described, my lower abdomen and throat felt itchy, as if I were experiencing the symptoms of a hangover.

“Well, then…”

Laurent laid me on the bed and tried to leave for his inn.

“Wait…”

I called out to Laurent as he was about to leave my room.

“Yes?”

As Laurent approached me, I held my lower abdomen and looked at him with a pitiful expression.

“Um… I think I might have a hangover…”

“What?!”

I looked at him with a helpless expression, holding my lower abdomen.

“Um… well… that’s…”

Laurent’s pupils began to shake wildly as he seemed quite flustered by my words.

Water was flowing out from the cracks, soaking my underwear.

It seemed like the aftereffects were starting to kick in now.

“Ha… Ha… Just give me a book or something… Huh! Hit my head hard.”

I pointed to the bookshelf with trembling hands.

“But still…”

“Aramis did that to Raju and Baek Jang-yeong-ae, right? Just like that… Hitt…! I can’t take it anymore, do it quickly!”

I grabbed my tingling lower abdomen and pleaded with Laurent, my whole body shaking, with a trembling voice.

“Ah… Alright!”

Laurent nodded and picked up a book.

“Shall I hit you?”

“Yes… Go ahead and hit me.”

Smack!

“Ow!”

Although Laurent hit me as hard as he could, it only hurt, and I didn’t faint.

“It hurts!”

“I-I’m sorry!”

“Hit me again quickly!”

Smack!

“Ouch…!”

I grabbed the back of my head and rolled around on the bed.

It seemed like Laurent had hit me as hard as he could, but if I didn’t faint like this, there was only one way left.

After giving Laurent a look, I ran my finger over my underwear.

As my finger touched the sensitive area, a sharp sensation started to flow through my waist.

The pleasurable sensation spread through my body as I continued to touch my underwear, but it seemed unbearable without inserting my finger.

As my finger slid into the crack, a cool sensation spread wherever it touched the soft flesh inside.

“Ah… Feels good…”

Finding it uncomfortable to masturbate lying down, I flipped over, raised my hips, and reached down with my hand to insert my finger into my private area.

“Ah…”

The slow, deep feeling of my finger entering my vagina was really satisfying.

But soon, I wanted a more intense stimulation.

I wished for something thicker to enter and push inside.

“Ha… Mari.”

Laurent, who had been watching me masturbate, blushed and called out to me.

“Huh… Why…?”

In a disoriented state of pleasure, I barely managed to answer.

“I… I feel a bit strange in my body.”

Laurent was crossing his legs.

“Eh…?”

Suddenly, at his unexpected words, I stopped fingering myself and looked at him.

“No… I really don’t know why I’m suddenly like this.”

Laurent covered his crotch.

With his face flushed and his swollen member bulging out, he was visibly embarrassed.

“No… I’m not lying, I can control it to some extent, but after drinking, suddenly…!”

Laurent defended himself incoherently.

But his words didn’t register in my ears.

“Hu… Ah…”

‘Isn’t that enough…?’

While masturbating, I looked at the bulging bulge he was desperately trying to cover with his hand.

It seemed quite sizable at a glance.

If that were to penetrate…

‘Oh… What am I thinking…?!’

I shook my head to clear my thoughts.

“Uh… I’ll go out for now.”

Laurent hesitated and tried to leave the room.

“Just a moment…”

I called out to Laurent with a trembling voice.

The efficacy of Orange Sapphire was certain, as my head was numb and I couldn’t even realize what I was saying.

“Can you… help me…?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Ah…! You’re not supposed to say that…!”

I spoke, my body heating up and trembling all over.

“No… I mean…”

Laurent was flustered by my words, hesitating and not knowing what to do.

‘Ah… I can’t take it anymore…’

I stopped pinching my abdomen and got up from the bed.

“Um… Miss…?”

Laurent looked at me, confused by my strange behavior.

“Haa… Haa…”

I approached Laurent, breathing heavily.

I grabbed his shoulders and pushed him down.

Thud!

“Ouch…!”

As Laurent fell back, I climbed on top of him.

With my eyes completely dilated, I quietly gazed at his face from above.

“Um… I mean…”

“Laurent…”

“Yes?!”

“Just stay still.”

Shaking from the aftereffects, I grabbed Laurent’s shirt collar with trembling hands.

Like a virgin, Laurent lay motionless on the floor, receiving my touch.

As I unbuttoned his shirt one by one, his firm abs came into view.

“Huh…?!”

I buried my face in Laurent’s neck and began licking it.

As my tongue touched his neck, Laurent let out a confused moan.
