Chapter 60

But Islay was forced to hold on to his severed reason.

That's because Evelyn, who left the word "I think I'm drunk," was drooping.

Islay could not hide his grim face.

"...... Eve?"

But leaning in his arms, Evelyn only let out regular, colourful breath sounds.

Deep wrinkles formed between the eyes of Islay.

"......."

Eventually, Islay walked Evelyn to the room.

Lying Evelyn on a fluffy bed, she mumbled.

She muttered something that I couldn't understand.

"Sigh."

A long sigh was given to Islay, who sat down beside Evelyn.

He raised his hand to tidy up the tangled hair on her cheek.

"Really, what if I wasn't the one who drank with you?"

Islay blew himself up at the words.

No, who else does Eve drink with besides me?

It was fortunate that I drank with myself at least.

Determined to never drink with anyone else, Islay crept up.

But right then.

"...... Lay."

Evelyn, with her long eyelashes slightly lifted, looked up to Islay with hazy eyes.

With that sweet voice, Islay froze to the spot.

"Where are you going...?"

Reaching out, she held onto his sleeve.

"......Are you going to leave me alone?"

Moisturizing, wet amber eyes lit with scarlet lights.

Looking down at her, Islay felt his mouth dry.

This feeling of reason turning white in an instant.

Evelyn rattled her lips.

"I don't want to be alone anymore."

It was quite a clear voice, unlike before, when it was broken into pieces in a drunken mood.
