“… I will come back tomorrow.”

Just looking at it, I can’t handle it alone. I left it like this because no one could handle it in the first place. Gileon also said that he took time to visit before withdrawing, but he said it was of no use. The answer comes out just by looking at it now. It just became a dog.
This wasn’t exactly Elena’s house either. It was a common hotel in District 1. The facilities are mediocre and the prices are mediocre. Such an ordinary hotel.
Helena was a distinguished guest on the frontier, but she was far from being extravagant. A person who would suffice anywhere as long as he could comfortably lie down and sleep. So this time, I was staying at this hotel for a few days.

Just… Perhaps it was a little extravagant this time, only Elena was the only one staying on this floor. It means that one floor was chartered.
The reason was roughly predictable.
“What? Sit down! Oops! Sit down!”
If you drink too much alcohol and shout loudly while everyone else is sleeping, of course you have no choice but to become a nuisance. Elena herself must have known that, so she must have taken precautions in advance.
A lot of money. Did you usually rent an entire floor for that?
Anyway, the reason I came here is… After hearing Gil Leon’s story, she was honestly worried.
She lives under a lot of stress, so I vaguely thought that she would enjoy drinking frequently, but….
Giléon, who told me about Elena’s condition with her troubled face, was the same, and now that Frontier has been out for four months, she was definitely not the kind of person to just stay in her room and drink. At least that’s what I thought.
There must be a reason.
The reason why he is sipping a drink alone in his room after kicking out all the people who come to visit him, obviously.
“Shit… Up twice. – Sit down. Right now. Oops.”
If I ignored it and left, it was ready to land a drop kick on my back. Frowning her face, she slammed the seat next to her with the palm of her hand.
It’s not thumping, it’s thumping. Is it that I can’t control my strength because I’ve been drinking? Scary. Can I really sit next to you? My back won’t fold in half with a single back smash. No way.
… But is it fortunate that they didn’t kick me out as soon as they saw me? It seems that Elena’s wariness towards me is quite low.
“… All right.”
I swallowed her sigh and shut the door.
“Quickly-.”
“Yes, yes….”
Elena sat with her back against the foot of her bed, and now and then she dizzyly put her arms on her bed and tilted her head to the sky, letting out her drunken breath- I rested.
She’s never dealt with drunk people, but… She seems to fall asleep on her own after a while. She sits next to me in moderation, then I lay her roughly on the bed and sneak out.
Even if it was a bottle of alcohol that was rolling around indiscriminately, she was careful not to step on it. She moved her feet carefully. Because of this, she is just like a thief hiding in someone else’s house.
“Puheh. What are you doing….”
Elena raised one corner of her mouth as she put a new bottle in her mouth, probably laughing at the way I lifted and moved her leg.
It was dark outside her window. It was getting dark to be exact. As I looked down at Elena under the white lights, I opened the bathroom door for a moment with a thought that came to my mind.
“Hey, sit down….”
I came out and handed it to Elena.
“Senior.”
“… Uh-?”
“Put this on.”
It was a wide-brimmed gown. Shower robe.
… Again, Elena was in her underwear. Her but, I put my hand on her chest and I don’t feel much. Rather awe
A well-balanced body with straight abs clearly positioned in the abdomen. Even when stabbed with a poison needle, not a single drop of blood seemed to flow.
That’s it, and this is this.
Apart from being secretly concerned, wouldn’t it be natural to fall asleep while wearing a soft gown that warmly wraps around the body… I didn’t have that kind of mind.
“What… Oh, by all means.ぅ. Put it away.”
However, Elena frowned and waved her hand.
“Put it on.”
“Oh, that’s it! Hot-!”
She really seemed to hate it. But there’s no way. She came closer and tapped her on the shoulder.
“Take off your back. You don’t have to wear it, so just wear it loosely.”
“… ….”
Helena’s eyes narrowed.
“Hey man….”
“Yes.”
“I, keup. Do you look like a kid? Uh?”
I nodded.
“For now.”
“… ….”
Elena looked up at me with her speechless face. He seemed to be asking, “What is this bastard?”
“Huh.”
Her breath blew.
“So, oops…. Will you take care of me like a baby? Do you know how old I am?”
“Anyone who ate as much as he would get old would write like this. Come on, quickly. One two….”
“Hey!”
Surprised.
Suddenly, Elena shouted. The focus keeps shaking as if I can’t see my face well. Elena put her hand over her left eye and looked at me. With her other hand, she pointed at me.
“What are you doing? Why did you come here If I bother you, get off. Neither do I.”
“… ….”
“I am such a troublesome bastard. Anyone have to fit me. If it doesn’t fit me, it’s a bad business.ぅ…. I’m in a bad mood right now-? It was nice to see you, but now it’s not so good. Good. You.”
The words are very gibberish.
It smells like alcohol. A hot, bitter smell. No matter what I say, it doesn’t seem to work, and no matter what I say, it doesn’t seem to be heard. That’s what dealing with a drunkard is like. It is very difficult to have a proper conversation with a normal person.
Then what can I do?
“What are you doing, bastard? Go. Go away!”
“… After.”
I unfolded the gown. After putting it over Elena’s body like a blanket, she lowered her body. She sat up straight.
She then stretched out her hand over the table and heard her disconcerted voice right next to her.
“… What are you doing now?”
I answered calmly.
“Would you like a drink? I’ll have a drink as you said.”
If it is difficult to deal with abnormal people,
I also have no choice but to get out of the normal.
“No, hey-.”
Whether Elena said it or not, she held the bottle on the table and poured it into her mouth. She was the bottle Elena had just been drinking from.
Gulp gulp─
As my mouth filled with cold and hot liquid, it passed over my throat like a fuse and burned all the way along the way.
To put it simply, it was dirty and tasteless.
“…… Whoops, whoops. 100 Million. Ugh. Tup, ttong. Wow!”
I don’t even know what kind of alcohol it is. You don’t know how strong the alcohol is. Just drank it A completely different sensation from when the magic circuit was on fire roared like lava around the throat, heart, and stomach.
Bitter, did you drink it for no reason? For some reason, I poured out my dissatisfaction with a feeling of anger.
“It is very tasteless. Why are you drinking this?”
“… ….”
“Do you drink these things because you feel bad? I really don’t understand. Wouldn’t it be better to eat delicious food no matter what you eat? … Ugh, it smells like alcohol already. Ugh.”
There is no side dish or water on this table. Elena said she had been drinking all the time. I don’t know if I’ll be able to afford it the next day. Of course, it will be different from the normal body, but… A hangover might be another story.
hahahaha, but I feel weird when I drink something. I also have a physical level, so I don’t think I’ll get this drunk, but that’s just how it feels.
Why, isn’t there a saying that you get drunk with the atmosphere? Maybe the very fact that I drank was intoxicating.
I said with a more disturbed mind than before.
“… I’m not good at it. It only made me feel worse. I really don’t know why you’re drinking this.”
Elena was covered from her shoulders to her thighs by the gown I had draped over her, leaving only her head and legs exposed.
She swallowed the burp she kept trying to get out. He continued her words at a slow tempo.
“I heard that drinking alone is the most lonely. Still, wouldn’t two be better than alone? Even though you are a very independent person, you are not someone who enjoys loneliness…. Or what. Not.”
“… How many times have you seen me?”
“Senpai like that, did you always help me with this and that because of how much you watched me?”
She rolled her eyes to her side. I saw Elena’s odd eye, one black and one gold.
She said she had eyes that could see through everything. So, can you read my mind now? Of course, I don’t know the details of the ability. Never told me
“I can’t live without debt. It’s no use saying you don’t need it. Even if I am forced to, I should be comfortable with the help of my seniors. If seniors continue to do this, it seems that Frontier will also be in trouble. Didn’t you rent this entire floor because you hate nuisance? Please help me so that I don’t cause more trouble here.”
I looked her straight in the eyes so I couldn’t avoid answering or skipping the topic.
“So, talk to me. If I can help, I’ll do anything to help. Yes?”
“… Oops.”
After her sudden hiccup, Elena bent her head upward. The stretched light brown nape of his neck was very red. So is her face. Seeing her up close like this, she had a lot of small scars.
“You really… funny kid Arrogant guy.”
Elena looked up vaguely at her ceiling, and exhaled her poo-breath.
“To a junior who is very young in age… What are you talking about?”
Even if I told her, she seemed to think that she would not be able to comfort me or sympathize with me.
… Hagisa, in terms of her age, she was almost the same as Elena’s son. It’s not unreasonable to think that it doesn’t mean much, but….
“If you don’t mind, at least try talking to yourself thinking I don’t exist. I will just shut up and listen.”
“… Doing shit Well then, tb. What’s the difference between being without you and being with you?”
“The me of today and tomorrow must remember what you said. The next day, the day after tomorrow, and on and on.”
“… ….”
“Senior must have seen the secrets of many people with those eyes. As well as my secret…. But I really don’t know the senior’s secret. And usually, I think trust is strongest when we share our secrets with each other.”
I wonder if my words are being heard properly. I don’t know because there was no reaction while I was talking. However, I decided to put an end to everything I was talking about.
“Just as you first suggested to me to subdue demons this time, I think there will be more situations in which we will work together in the future…. Wouldn’t it be okay to use this opportunity to increase trust and build friendships between seniors and juniors?”
Then he took the bottle in his hand and put it back. It’s because I didn’t even think about it. If I took another sip here, it seemed like something big would happen.
… Than that.
“… ….”
… You are still speechless. Are you sleeping? I glanced at her and saw that she was leaning on her neck and closing her eyes.
“…… Seniors?”
What is it, you really sleep….
“As expected.”
At that time,
Your lips were swollen.
“As expected, I can’t.”
Elena, her eyes dimly opened, glanced at me.
“…… What?”
When I asked about it.
“To the extent that I heard you say that… As far as I’ve heard… I can’t be shaken this is not me i’m more… It was strong much more than now.”
She shakes her head slowly. Shaking her black hair, which was loosely parted.
“I shouldn’t have entrusted it to you… I didn’t even have something to do…. I am a demon hunter A demon hunter… If you can’t catch the devil…. Let them fuck off, every time… I have to make it hurt….”
The words were stretched out, words were cut off, and it became an incomprehensible sentence. However, the emotion contained in the voice was directly conveyed to me.
I just didn’t respond. I listened silently. It was to faithfully fulfill the promise to shut up and listen.
About that time, Elena opens her mouth after her pause.
“… Is it not okay right.”
It was a voice that was very close to talking to oneself.
“… ….”
In that case, I just sat there silently as promised.
There was silence for a while. Elena didn’t say anything more, and I kept her mouth shut, so it was only natural.
Brush.
Elena tossed her gown that had draped over her body onto her bed. Then she stumbled and crawled, and lay loosely on the soft bed.
Soon, a faint voice sounded like it would cut off from behind.
“Sleep…. Go in.”
It’s still dark outside the window, so I don’t know if it’s night or dawn.
“… Oh fuck It’s the head….”
Waking up from a brief slumber, Elena opened her eyes and placed the back of her hand on her forehead.
‘How long have you slept… ?’
Elena can’t sleep for long. She doesn’t have to do that and recovers her physical strength right away, and because her nerves are always on edge, she quickly notices even a slight change in the environment and gets up.
Even if you drink alcohol, you won’t see much effect. Elena’s body never allowed the penetration of alcohol. She doesn’t get drunk at all, but she, Elena, could control her drunkenness to some extent if she wanted to.
Two days ago and yesterday were just like that.
The day I want to get drunk.
The post-processing of the case is very urgent, but Elena is buried in a feeling she is not used to, so she stays in the room all day drinking and drinking.
‘That’s fucking….’
And so, as she looked at the horrors she had created, her whole body trembled with a disgusting sensation.
She felt like she needed to come to her senses while taking a cold shower.
Because, today, from today.
I have to go back to my usual Elena Crymore… Peel…… ?
“… ….”
Elena rubbed her eyes. She covered her left eye and saw only with her right eye.
The lights were off and it was dark outside her window, so I couldn’t see very well.
-Who is it?
As soon as she recognized that fact, her Elena’s eyes changed.
She immediately clenched her fists and was about to launch her body like a shotgun.
“Ah.”
“… Ah?”
Her voice rang out.
It belonged to a man.
“You’re awake.”
There was a person there, because her skin was white, and so was her hair, so that she could make out shapes in the dark.
“… ….”
Come to think of it….
Elena’s mouth slowly opened as she put her fragmented memories together.
Then she tapped her forehead with her hand.
“Oh, fuck. Come.”
… It is impossible to commit suicide by jumping out of a window, so how can I die comfortably right away?
