(MC POV)
I flipped the stick around, noting the number eight on it.
"Alright! Who's the King?!" Elaria asked in her usual cheerful attitude.
"Umm… The King is the one with the number 'one' with red paint on it right?" Brendan asked, showing the exact stick he had described in his hands.
"Ohhh! First round goes to brother Brendan! Give us your order!" Elaria announced as though she was some kind of emcee for a game event.
"Err… What can I say?"
"Teehee~ Anything you want! Because after all, a King's orders are absolute!" Elaria punched her fists into the air dramatically.
Brendan was looking at the girls who were staring back at him in return, eyeing him like he was a piece of meat to be grilled.
Poor guy.
"Umm… Then er… Numbers two to nine… Finish your cups."
Oh, not bad, Brendan. A safe an order as any.
Elaria smirked devilishly, "Oohh~ How daring Brother Brendan! Trying to get all of us drunk! I wonder what motives you might have for that? Something insidious perhaps? Hehehe~ Well then, down the hatch girls!"
"That… That's not what I wanted…" Brendan whined but everyone else ignored him.
Of course I drank mine as well without complaint, handing my stick back to Elaria to begin the next round.
"Oh, I got an idea to make it more interesting," Manami giggled. "We will drink from our cups for every round that passes."
"That's a great idea!" Lian Li agreed enthusiastically. "Let's do that!"
Yeah… Everyone's probably going to get wasted tonight… Oh well, the other girls agreed to it so I could only oblige.
Elaria shuffled the sticks and we picked them out again, surprisingly I got the number eight once more.
"Oh my, it seems like I'm the king this round," Odriana giggled, showing us her red-tipped stick proudly.
"Ehehe~ What is Onee-sama… I mean, the king's order?"
"I wonder…" She tapped her chin thoughtfully for a moment. "Ah! Number five come lay your head down on the king's lap~"
"Ah… That's me," Kiyomi raised her hand, showing us her stick.
Odriana giggled while patting her lap, "Fufufu~ Come then, let this king pamper you~"
Kiyomi mumbled something about preferring to be the one giving it but trudged over nevertheless, lying down on her back to have her head lie on Odriana's lap.
"Mmm, mmm~ Is big sister's lap comfortable?"
Kiyomi rolled her eyes knowing that she herself was in fact the older one but chose to play along by giving a curt nod.
"Fufufu~ Then stay here until the next round~" my elder sister grinned, passing both Kiyomi's and her stick back to Elaria.
Abiding by the previous rule, all of us downed our cups of alcohol before restarting the game.
Once again, each of us picked out our sticks and I frowned upon seeing mine was eight again. What the hell? Twice in a row might still be possible but three?
Before I could think too much into it, Elaria leapt onto her feet with her left hand planted on her side while her right hand .
"Hahaha! Bow before your new king peasants! Your orders were all too lacklustre! Let this king show you how it's done!"
I have a bad feeling about this…
"Number nine! Take off an article of clothing!!"
"EHHH?!" Brendan let out a cry of shock.
"Huh, it's you?" Elaria looked at the alchemist in disappointment.
Brendan winced, "Ouch, I mean, I get it, but ouch…"
She waved at him dismissively, "Oh just take off something then, even your socks count."
Brendan grumbled something underneath his breath and did just what Elaria suggested, folding his socks neatly beside him.
Another glass of drinks went down our throats.
When the next round began, I was almost convinced the whole game was rigged when number eight appeared in my hands again.
I even secretly broke the rules by checking everyone's sticks but found that the sticks were indeed different for everyone else so they weren't faking those sticks.
I even knew the king this round was Manami before she raised her hand.
"Ara, ara? I'm the king this time~" The fox youkai giggled, not at all hiding her predatory glance that she directed at me.
She can't know my number right?
"Hmm~ How about… Number two. Come and fluff my tails for me~"
"Ohhh~ Don't mind if I do~" Elaria rushed forward, dropping her number two stick beside her while she practically sunk herself into the mounds of fluff.
"Ahhhn~ Not so rough~" Manami moaned, clearly surprised from Elaria's actions.
While my little sister was busy behind her, the red fox glanced over at me with lustful eyes, "Mnnn… Ufufufu~ Does Master want to fluff as well?"
Since she asked, I freed one hand to do just that, stroking the tail that was closest to me and making her moan in ecstasy.
Both me and Elaria gave the fox youkai a good minute of fluffing before letting go, the two of them quite satisfied by it.
Once more, all of us downed another round of drinks before restarting the game again.
This time I let everyone pick the sticks first before picking mine, only to see the number eight stick show up again.
"Oh, it's me!" Diao Chan exclaimed excitedly.
She only needed to think for a while before she clapped her hands together, "Number nine! Kiss number eight!"
Not Brendan, not Brendan, not Brendan, not Brendan.
A hand went up, the number nine stick grasped firmly in between the fingers.
"It's… I mean… I'm nine…" Lian Li stuttered.
I flashed her a smile before flipping to show my number eight stick.
In all honesty, I was not prepared for the golden haired girl to pounce on top of me, her lips immediately latching on to mine.
"Mmmm~ Chuuu~ Nnngg… Mnnn~~ Slurp!"
Lian Li was not holding back her kiss, her tongue already shoving itself into my mouth like she wanted to explore my throat with it.
It felt like time slowed down while we were kissing, everything else around us having grown silent. It took a long while before she was satisfied, the girl licking her saliva stained lips with her tongue.
"Mmm~ Ehehe~ Thank you for the meal Master~"
She hopped back to where she had came from, swallowing her glass of wine without hesitation before giggling uncontrollably.
I'm guessing she's already quite buzzed from the alcohol for her to act this way, even a few of the other girls were surprised by how bold she was.
Except for Diao Chan who just looked incredibly aroused at the moment.
"Spicy!" Elaria commented, with a grin. "Definitely worth the wait. Now next round!"
I picked up my stick again and once more, it was eight. This is definitely rigged.
Eris gave a loud chuckle, "Heh heh~ I'm the king! And the king decrees… Number four, five, six and eight to down an entire bottle of wine!"
"Ufufufu~ That's not a problem," Manami giggled, tossing her number six stick in the middle of the circle before throwing her head back to gulp down an entire bottle of liquor.
Kiyomi followed her sister's lead, not even saying a word as she revealed her number five stick before joining Manami in downing an entire bottle.
I joined them too by grabbing one of the already opened bottles to chug down. I kind of felt it was a waste though, such a thing should be enjoyed slowly but well.
The last to step forward was Brendan with his number four stick.
By the time the poor guy had started to drink, Manami and Kiyomi had already finished their bottles cleanly, the alcohol not even a problem for the fox youkais. I was taking my time with it, but I at least had half of it done.
Unfortunately for the alchemist, he only managed to chug half of the bottle before he stopped suddenly as though he was struck. The young man placed the bottle on the ground carefully, turned to face me who had just finished my bottle before he promptly collapsed and passed out on the ground.
"And he's ouuuuut!" Elaria laughed, not even worried about it. "Let's… Mmm… Hic! Continue!!"
Oh boy…
Even Elaria's buzzed… And I think I'm starting to feel a bit dizzy too…
