'Hey, Victor, you crazy bastard. Am I an object?'
While being carried away at such a fast speed, the blood rushed to her head. Does this kid know how many times she muttered inwardly?
It was only when she felt like she was going to vomit from the alcohol and motion sickness that she pleaded with Victor.
“Come down, Colonel!”
Unexpectedly, Victor obediently let her go at her request.
Only after pulling on the collar of his uniform and craning her neck did Odette finally feel better. She glared at Victor, resenting the motion sickness and the pain that made it hard to breathe.
“Why are you looking up at me so sexy, baby? You’re twice as sexy when you’re wet.”
But the reaction only made her feel twice as bad.
Odette gave up on talking to Victor and looked around. It looked like she was in the middle of a dense forest.
'We're not yet in the palace, but in the thick forest... it's just the palace hunting grounds.'
It's only been a few minutes. You ran all the way here?

'We're not yet in the palace, but in the thick forest... it's just the palace hunting grounds.'
It's only been a few minutes. You ran all the way here?
Odette clicked her tongue inwardly and untied the formal jacket Victor had wrapped around her.
Because he's big, Odette is a little exaggerated and wears a dress that almost reaches her knees.
“Here it is.”
Then she handed it to Victor.
“I’m wearing it.”
She tends to feel intoxicated over time. And when it's hot, the timing tends to come a little faster.
'The amount of alcohol I just drank in the fountain was way beyond my drinking capacity.'
She thought it would be better to stay a little cold since she would definitely get drunk once she got drunk. That way, she could delay the time it takes for the effects of the alcohol to take effect.
But instead of receiving the robe from her, Victor was crouching down and doing something on the floor.
“...But what does Colonel Koenig do?”
“Collecting firewood.”
As he said that, he took out a match and lit it. A small fire started up.
'You have the power of fire, but you use matches?'
For a moment, Odette had such a useless thought, but she didn't bother asking. She had to dry the dress before she could return to the mansion, and that would require a fire.
“Why don’t you just wear my uniform? You look so horny right now.”
“It’s okay. It’s just the colonel and I here.”
“...Those words sound incredibly obscene?”
Victor raised and lowered his eyebrows slightly with a sly voice as if he was flirting.
'They say you were a debaucher before you awakened, but it's really a habit, a habit.'
But as she watched it in the game, she knew that there was no point in showing off like that.
Odette greeted Victor, who refused while holding his khaki suit jacket in her hand.
“I was in a difficult situation, but thank you for saving me.”
Victor stared at her, then took the jacket.
“Did I help you?”
"Sure."
Victor smirked. He looked even more handsome with his mouth cave-exposed.
“I’ll just dry my clothes and head back to the banquet hall. I have an appointment to meet the maid soon.”
Of course, it wasn't a direct appointment with the maid, but rather a time of appointment with Damian.
Victor nodded.
Perhaps the commotion just now did not reach Mother or Paula's ears.
Her mother will be wasting her time in the corridors of the Empress's drawing room the whole time, and Paula will be out there all day, distracted by men, so she won't know about the commotion at the banquet.
'It was the right thing to do to send it to the sponsorship side on purpose.'
The garden is located completely opposite the fountain where she fell, so no matter how loud the banquet hall is, it won't reach the garden.
“...”
But it's strange. The more she heat it, the more her thoughts... seem to stretch out strangely.
“You really are so unconventional whenever we meet. You and I are alone in a secluded place dressed like that. Aren’t you scared?”
Victor's voice as if he was laughing, somehow...seemed to come from very far away.
“It was the same the first time. There’s always something new and unexpected. It’s fun and funny.”
Her head is also a bit... throbbing... It seems that the alcohol in the fountain earlier had a much higher alcohol content than she expected.
“Um...I know it’s shameless, but is there any way to dry my clothes a little faster?”
Odette was anxious because she thought the intoxication would come on faster than expected.
“Shall we light the bonfire hotter?”
“No. The Colonel has the power of fire, so if you use your power on me-”
“If you try to stop someone with my supernatural powers, I’ll burn them to the bone. Unless you want to turn into a handful of ashes, just sit here and stop me.”
Oh, I see. That's obvious. Why didn't I remember that?
At Victor's answer, Odette had no choice but to sit down in front of the fire again.
'I'm in a hurry... I guess I'm getting drunk. I have to hurry and go back to the mansion...'
...To do that, first of all, I have to dry the dress quickly... I have to dry it completely...
“If that doesn’t work, there is another way. How about hugging me?”
He said so and spread his arms while wearing a white shirt.
'Ah. Well, Victor, who uses the power of fire, has a body temperature much higher than that of an average human.'
“You’re a noble and virtuous lady, so you can’t do it yourself? Then just quietly go to the bonfire or-”
“Then excuse me for a moment.”
Odette was held in his arms. He was incredibly large.
'This is better than warming yourself by the bonfire.'
Since there is a lot of surface area in contact, the clothes will probably dry quickly. It is definitely more efficient this way as it feels more like being in a dry sauna than at human body temperature.
“...This is really groundbreaking.”
Victor was silent for a while, then suddenly wrapped his arms around her back. Then her back started to dry out faster.
As they both fell silent, the hunting grounds were filled with the sounds of the night, crackling and crackling of the campfire. And the regular beating of Victor's heart.
Oh! Now that I think about it!
“Isn’t this place called the hunting ground uncomfortable? You didn’t come to this scary place because of me, did you?”
“Hunting grounds... Oh, really? ...I didn’t even care.”
His voice sounded a little surprised.
“Why... didn’t you know? Is it because I was with you?”
Trauma is covered up with disgust, or something like that? Well, you can overcome fear with anger.
“That’s it. You’re with me.”
I'm doing the same thing to that father. I'm overcoming my anger towards him and my fear of him.
'Hmm. I have another question.'
Normally, Odette would hold back on asking questions, but for some reason, she found it difficult to control her mouth these days.
“The Colonel doesn’t come to balls and such. I heard you don’t like them.”
She wasn't drunk at all. She's a little dizzy now, but just a little tipsy.
“You also hate these khaki-colored suits, they’re ridiculous.”
“Have you studied my tastes? My dear, you know everything.”
He never wore formal attire in the game, so she was just curious. She thought, why wouldn't this kid come?
Normally, Odette would hold back her curiosity, but now she was having a hard time controlling her mouth. It wasn't because she was drunk.
'I'm a little dizzy right now, but I'm not drunk at all... Hey, why do I feel uneasy? I think I had that thought a little while ago.'
“I came here because I was curious. I wanted to know how nobles play.”
“I see. The suit really suits you.”
“...Really? But could you stop laughing like that?”
The sound of his heart beating in his chest grew a little louder. Odette giggled because the situation was somehow funny.
