"Baam!!" Shibisu cried, hugging Baam even closer as he continued to cry in desperation.

"Besides, aren't friends aren't people who come to your aid when you're in trouble?" Baam stated.

"Did Lahel teach that to you, too?" I asked, disapproval obvious on his face.

"Yes, but Cecelia taught me about it too."

With a sigh, I stood up with Cecelia still dangling off of my neck, levitating in the air. In the end, I held her princess style in my arms, while she smiled and cheered like a child.

"Let's go, guys."

"Eh?"

"It's showtime."

Ah... my medical expenses cost me all the points that I'd earned... Androssi thought, lying in bed. She only had three measly points left- which wasn't nearly enough to buy her an apple. Her stomach growled pathetically at the current situation that she was in. Now I'll starve to death before the next test. Ugh... I wish someone overcome by my beauty would come and offer me a helping hand...

*Bubuling Bubuling*

No way!! Androssi thought, just as Baam's hesitant voice crackled through the intercom.

"Um... we brought you some food. Can we come in?" He asked innocently.

"P-Please!!" Androssi answered, all too happy about her luck.

While Baam and Hatsu made a deal with Androssi and Anaak, Cecelia and I were busy fighting over useless things with each other, as per usual. For some reason, she refused to get out of my arms. To be honest, it was nice. But she would never know that, and it was getting embarrassing. The other Regulars snickered, stared, glared, or whispered to each other as they passed by.

"Why do you insist on staying like this?" I asked, slightly annoyed.

"Because it's nice."

"What's nice? Being in my arms?"

"Yeah."

A blush crept up my face at her straightforward answer. I could feel her gentle breaths fanning my neck as she rested her head on my shoulder.

"Do you not like being with me?" Cecelia asked quietly, staring off into blank space.

"I-"

"Koon!! We did it!!" Baam shouted, jogging up to Cecelia and I.

"I told you so." I retorted, feeling my usual smirk apply itself on my face.

"Seriously, thank you!! You saved my life!!" Shibisu cried, hugging Baam for all he was worth.

"I won't forget this." Hatsu also replied, thanking Baam.

"Hey, I'm the one who came up with the plan. I even wrote a script for you inarticulate oafs," I cut in, miffed about the fact that they were only reaching out their thanks to Baam.

"Someone's jealous," Cecelia whispered, chuckling quietly to herself.

"I understand that you have no talent for writing, Earrings," Hatsu shot back.

"Wait, you guys are still going on about that?!" Cecelia spoke, awed.

"Excuse me?!"

"Especially that line- "Most beauteous princess"? How embarrassing."

"Hah~?! You just don't have any talent as an actor!!" I argued.

Hatsu immediately prepared to draw his sword, only to realize that Cecelia was in the way. Without another word, he took Cecelia away from me, placing the female onto her feet behind him.

"Eh?" She muttered, puzzled by the swordman's actions.

"Now, now... shouldn't we be thanking him?" Shibisu butted in.

"....I am indebted to you," Hatsu muttered.

"Huh? I can't hear you." I replied, an evil smirk plastered on his face.

"T-thank. You. Very. Much!!" Hatsu said, bowing robotically.

"Mmm~ No problem. Now, can I have Cecelia back?"

I gestured to the female still standing behind Hatsu, who was hunched over. She had her hand on her mouth, in a futile attempt to hide her laughter.

"Come on, let's go for a drink tonight!!"

"I refuse."

"Why not? It's something worth celebrating!!"

"Ooh, drinks? I'll go!!" Cecelia volunteered, seemingly excited about the thought of having alcohol.

Of course, there was no way that I'd be leaving her alone with Hatsu. So in the end, Shibisu, Hatsu, Cecelia, Baam and I all ended up going to the Bar for celebratory drinks.

And you know what? I'm very glad that I tagged along.

Cecelia being drunk... is something that you'd never see in her normal state... not that you'd want to see it, either.

~~~ /// ~~~ \\\ ~~~

Guess!! Guess what Cecelia's drunk antics are!! I'll come back with filler chapters for this "Celebratory Drink" event later on as flashbacks!! But until then... GUESS, I dare you!!

And yes, Koon just broke the fourth wall.
