"DXD: Transfer Student"Chapter 265: Well, That's What Happens When You Drink
After Camilla and Millie left, Draconis Yi exhaled and stepped back into the house.
"They're gone," he announced, glancing at Yor with a gentle smile. "So, why'd you go to all that trouble learning to cook?"
Yor, cheeks tinged pink from the wine, looked away shyly. "Well… I just didn't want anyone getting suspicious."
Draconis Yi nodded. "I'll stay overnight for the next few days, and we'll make the rounds with the neighbors. That should quiet the gossip."
Yor let out a long sigh of relief. "That's great! People kept asking where you'd gone and why you hadn't come back."
He moved closer, noticing the bandages on her fingers. "Let me see your hand."
"It's nothing, really…" Yor protested, but Draconis Yi gently took her wrist. With a touch of magic, he began to heal the knife cuts. He wasn't as gifted as Asia, but his magic could handle minor wounds—Rias had taught him well.
As the bandages peeled away, the faint red cuts faded and vanished. Yor stared, wide-eyed. "That's… incredible."
To her, Draconis Yi still felt like something out of a dream.
"You've had a long day. Get some rest." He released her hand and headed for the shower.
After bathing, Draconis Yi returned to his old bedroom—only to find it colonized by Yor's belongings. Right, she'd been sleeping here lately. He was about to leave when the door swung open.
Yor stood there, swaying, clutching the half-finished bottle of wine. She'd meant to take just a sip, but the wine was too good. A few gulps turned into drinking straight from the bottle—and now she was thoroughly drunk.
"...Yor?" Draconis Yi blinked, speechless. He'd been careful earlier, knowing her legendary lack of tolerance. But in the time it took him to shower, she'd managed to get herself wasted.
"Huh? Who—?" Yor squinted at him, body tensing. Her combat instincts kicked in.
"A burglar?" she blurted, forgetting entirely that he was supposed to be here.
"It's me, Yor," Draconis Yi said, exasperated. But she wasn't listening.
She hurled the wine bottle at him. He dodged, the bottle whizzing past his face and exploding against the wall, red wine splattering everywhere. Before he could react, Yor charged, fist cocked.
Smack!
He deflected her punch, but she kept coming—another, then another. Even drunk, her speed and strength were terrifying. If he were just a normal guy, he'd be out cold.
Draconis Yi blocked her blows, then abruptly pulled her forward, pinning her wrists. Yor struggled, realized she couldn't break free, and stepped back for a high kick.
Her long, black-stockinged leg sliced through the air—aiming somewhere it definitely shouldn't.
Not there!
Draconis Yi instinctively let go and retreated. That kick was no joke—and he'd caught a glimpse of something he probably shouldn't have. White…
Yor was beyond reason, so Draconis Yi flashed behind her and restrained her gently. He could've knocked her out, but that seemed excessive. Better to hold her until the alcohol took full effect.
She kept struggling, but after a few minutes on the living room sofa, Yor finally slumped, the fight gone. She dozed off in his arms.
Draconis Yi carried her to the guest room, tucked her in, and returned to the wine-soaked bedroom, swapping out the sheets before collapsing into bed himself.
Late at night, Yor sat up, bleary-eyed. Why am I in the guest room…?
She stumbled to the bathroom, then wandered back to the bedroom, crawling into bed and promptly falling asleep again.
Draconis Yi's instincts registered someone nearby, but the scent was familiar, safe. He rolled over, pulling her into his arms, hands finding their way to spots he'd massaged countless times before.
Morning came. Both woke up at the same time—because Yor's hand had found something hard.
Draconis Yi snapped awake, realizing they were both holding things they shouldn't be.
They locked eyes for a long, awkward three seconds.
"…."
Yor's face went crimson. She bolted upright, flustered. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry… How did I end up in Draconis Yi-san's bed?"
"…I'm wondering the same thing. Didn't I put you in the guest room?"
Draconis Yi pressed his lips together, sighing inwardly.
See? That's what happens when you drink…
