Chapter 268 Wine Fairy

"Why did you drink half of it?"

Seeing Leon, who was drunk and walked out of the storage room with a red face and unsteady steps, the red-haired director, who had been waiting for him for a long time, couldn't help but said sarcastically:
"Your Excellency, you feel unhappy drinking alone, so you want to find some pretty girls to drink with you to relieve your boredom, right?"

"That's fine..."

To the red-haired chief's surprise, in the face of his sarcasm, Leon did not smile shyly, but nodded vigorously, then staggered over, grinning with a hazy look in his eyes:
"Drinking alone... is boring. It's better to drink with someone... I think... you are a good person..."

"..."

Huh?

After hearing what Leon said, the red-haired director looked at the hand on his shoulder, his eyebrows raised slightly, and his beautiful fox eyes narrowed immediately.

You bastard, you had good wine but didn't bring me along to drink it. Now that you're drunk, you're actually using the alcohol to tease me? What's the difference between this and other women using my husband to give birth to a child and then asking me to raise the child?
"Okay~ Your Excellency the Prince has everything you say~"

After reaching out and grabbing Leon's hand and putting it on his shoulder, the red-haired director carried the drunken Leon and walked towards his office with a smile, suggesting as he walked:

"But, I don't drink much, but I know someone who drinks a lot. Do you want to ask her to accompany you?"

"No...it's okay..."

After passing by his own office and being taken to the door of Senior Emma's office, the drunken Leon smiled foolishly and then spoke to keep her:

"With the two of you... there will be more people... it will be more lively!"

"..."

Want to have some fun? Sure! Then I'll let you have some fun!
Glancing at the drunk Leon, the red-haired director couldn't help but sneer, then he reached out and pushed open the door of Emma's office, and walked in with the drunk Leon.

"Leon? How much did you drink?"

After seeing Leon's appearance, Emma, who was writing a report behind the desk, couldn't help but be startled. Then she couldn't help but look at the red-haired director and gave her a slightly resentful look.

It's all your fault. The steady and reliable Leon in the past has almost become a drunkard because of you!

What does it have to do with me? I didn't hold the bottle... er... I almost never held the bottle to force him to drink. Most of the time he wanted to drink, okay? I was only responsible for 50% of the drink.

After returning a speechless look to Senior Emma, the red-haired director blinked and used his eyes to "convey" with some ill intentions:

By the way, Emma, what about that time when I was drunk and insisted on sleeping with you, how did you scare me awake? Come on, use it on him to sober him up!
Isn't it bad? Lyon will have a psychological trauma.

It's okay, it's just a good opportunity to help him quit drinking. This bastard just wanted to hug us left and right and asked the two of us to drink with him. It's just a good opportunity to scare him and teach him a lesson.

Really? Leon would say something like that? You're not kidding me, are you?

……

"I didn't... I didn't drink much... I just took a sip from each of the thousand bottles of wine... Oh, Senior Emma!"

Just as the red-haired chief and senior Emma were glaring at each other and exchanging opinions fiercely with their eyes, Leon seemed to sober up a little, then loosened his arm on the red-haired chief's shoulder, stepped forward and grabbed senior Emma's hand.

"I've always wanted to thank you."

After saying the opening words that surprised both of them, Leon grabbed Emma-senpai’s white and soft hand and said with a touching look on his face:
"Since I joined the Cleanup Bureau, you have helped me a lot. You gave me the right weapons, taught me how to do missions, and told me how to ensure my own safety during missions... Oh, and the Director!"

As the red-haired director looked a little dazed, Leon let go and looked back at her, his hazy drunken eyes full of gratitude as he said:

"If the Director hadn't asked me to join the Cleanup Bureau, I would probably be... well... and I have always remembered your care for me and never forgotten it. Although my current strength is still insufficient and the help I can provide is still relatively limited, I... will definitely... continue to work hard and become a more reliable person that you can trust in the future!"

"..."

Why... why did you suddenly say such sweet words? It really makes me feel... really embarrassed...

After receiving Emma's reproachful look of "You are talking nonsense, Leon would never say that", the red-haired director, who felt a little warm in his heart, could not help but sigh helplessly and gave up the plan of taking the opportunity to tease Leon. Unfortunately...

"Unfortunately, you, Chief, also have many shortcomings."

Having drunk more than a thousand kinds of wine in a row, Leon, who was a little shaky even when standing, commented bluntly:
"The director is very reliable when he's not drinking, but when he's drunk, his mind is as simple as a female monkey's. He can't tolerate anything else except drinking. If he's in a good mood, he'll even catch my dog passing by and force him to drink a few sips.
And if I don't drink, you can't help but find other ways to amuse yourself, saying some mean things to tease people. In addition, you hold grudges, are very petty, and always give me bad advice..."

"..."

It seems like I really need to help you sober up. If I let you keep counting like this, Olivia will probably really hold a grudge against you.

Listening to Leon's rant and watching the red-haired director's increasingly dark face, Emma couldn't help but smile. She then reached out and grasped Leon's hand, scratching the tip of his thumb with her fingernails.

"what?"

Something happened that surprised Emma very much. Although she could still touch Leon's palm normally, the scratch that could cause intense pain to the soul turned into a false bubble in a strange distortion, as if she had never activated the abnormal object.

How is this going? !
The red-haired director at the side also noticed this strange scene. She frowned in confusion, then raised her hand and snapped her fingers. A few strands of bright red hair fell off quietly and quickly wrapped around Leon's palm.

However, the scene just now appeared again. After a strange twist, those strands of [Blood-Slaying Hair] turned into bubbles and disappeared. There was nothing beside Leon's wrist again...

Not even numbered-level anomalies?
"Leon! Wake up!"

Discovering the serious abnormality, the red-haired chief quickly grabbed Leon’s shoulders, shook him vigorously as he felt a little sleepy, and asked with a serious look in his eyes:
"What's going on with you?"

"Huh? What...what happened?"

"Of course it's your state! Why were Emma's and my anomalies forcibly restored when they touched you?"

"You said this..."

After hearing the red-haired chief's question, sleepy-eyed Leon chuckled.

"I have become an immortal, floating."

[Wine Fairy (different color, clear yellow, cannot be upgraded): I love to drink fine wine between my lips and teeth, the wind and frost are sharp and the wine is always refreshing. The gloomy clouds and mist are thousands of miles away, but a cup of wine will make my face happy.]

[Effect of wearing: After drinking alcoholic beverages with a total weight greater than your own body weight, you will enter a special state of "drunkenness and dreaming death"]

[Living in a Drunkenness and Dreaming of Death: When you are drunk, any attack that can harm your body will be shattered into thin air; any attack that can harm your soul will be completely driven away by the drunkenness.

As the price of being immune to all damage, while "Drunkenness and Dreams" is in effect, you will not be able to use any attack methods other than physical ones, and because your soul is blinded by drunkenness, your thinking speed is forced to be reduced by 90%, making it difficult to control your behavior and language with reason.

[Advanced route: Reached the highest level, cannot continue to advance]

[Hidden feature (no need to wear): Except for "Drunkenness and Dreaming of Death", you will never get drunk again]
