I Don’t Want To Be the Main Character

42. Getting drunk

1.

Rudrick’s head felt like it would break. It was the aftermath of a hangover.

To be honest, I only woke up after drinking alcohol for about an hour at best, but there was no way the alcohol was completely detoxified.

To put it bluntly, Rudrick was still drunk.

And if you look at it from the drunk Rudrick’s point of view, while his head hurts and the sound is ringing, the sight he sees as soon as he wakes up from his noisy sleep is the scene right before he makes a life-and-death decision as if the three of them are going to kill each other.

Besides, neither the others nor Rudrick knew exactly what his injections were until now.

When Rudrick gets drunk, his first reaction is to fall asleep quietly, but if he wakes up before he wakes up for some reason like now…….

“……Hey. Are you guys fighting again?”

Pooh.

Rudrick sighed and brushed his hair before opening his mouth.

“……?”

“…… Huh?”

The three people, who had stopped moving at the low voice, doubted their ears almost at the same time.

It wasn’t something the Rudrick they knew would say.

But Rudrick continued with a deep sigh as if what the girls had heard was correct.

“Haa… When are you going to grow up? When grown-up adults meet, they bicker and fight? Aren’t you tired of it?”

“That’s not like that…”

“……Hey, Arwen. Are you going to activate that magic as it is? Are you planning on blowing up a building in the middle of the capital? This is a total terrorist. What are the police doing? They won’t catch him.”

“I-I’m worried that you might have done something bad…”

I couldn’t fully understand the meaning of Rudrick’s words, but it was clear that he was criticizing Arwen.

Arwen’s voice, which was trying to protest something, gradually changed into a small voice, and her head gradually came down with the momentum to pierce the ground.

Although Eileen and Sylphia quietly backed away almost instinctively as they saw that scene.

Rudrick’s keen gaze caught even the slightest movement.

“Eileen.”

“You mean me…?”

“Hey, you’re the same. Stop fighting, please.”

“…….”

I could read the emotions behind the words to stop fighting. Because of that, Eileen simply shut her mouth.

Sylphia, the last one left, was no exception.

“Sylphia. What do you think is different?”

“……You mean that?”

“What happened when you guys fight just by looking at each other’s faces? They fight saying it’s nice to meet them, and when they try to do something, they growl again. If that’s the case, they fight until they die.”

“……Sorry.”

“I’m sorry. Would you rather die at my hands before fighting to the death?”

A new side of Drunk Rudrick that can’t be reminiscent of the usual Rudrick.

After that, Rudrick put his hands over his face and washed his face dry.

I wasn’t simply drunk and spitting out the thoughts I had been thinking in my head. There is a saying that it is a drunken serious talk, but for now, his head hurts so much that even Rudrick himself doesn’t know what he is saying.

Ludrick, who had been washing his face dry for a while, leaned back on the bed weakly and gestured.

“……Meow, come here.”

“……Are you talking about me?”

“Yes.”

“…….”

Arwen hesitated, pointing her finger at herself. First of all, I know that Rudrick is crazy because he’s drunk, but I’m not sure if I should go to this or not.

In an instant, Arwen, who suffered a great internal conflict, canceled the magic that was just about to be activated, transformed into a cat, and climbed onto Rudrick’s lap.

Eileen and Sylpia looked at each other with envy, but Arwen didn’t care.

Nyan?!

A panicked cat’s cry rang out briefly, and Rudrick hugged Arwen and didn’t let go for a long time.

A series of completely unpredictable thoughts and patterns that only a really drunk person can show.

Eileen’s eyes widened when she saw that, and she covered her hand with her mouth.

“……Oh my God.”

Sylphia muttered the same surprised face.

But at the same time, Sylfia’s brain began to spin rapidly.

Transformation magic is a type that even Sylphia can use, much more perfectly than Arwen. And the situation is that Rudrick is simply recognizing Arwen in front of him as a cat.

After going through a series of accidents, the conclusion was simple.

The opportunity is right now.

As if he couldn’t lose, a puppy with an impressive red bridge jumped into Rudrick’s lap.

It was Sylphia with nothing to see.

“……A dog?”

Muttered Rudrick, his eyes wide open. Even though she saw the process of Sylphia transforming right in front of her eyes, her head, which was unable to think normally, could not understand the current situation.

Cats are cute.

Dogs are cute too.

That’s why the cuteness doubles in front of your eyes.

After going through an extremely simple accident, Rudrick stroked Sylphia’s hair, and Sylphia smiled brightly as if everything went according to plan.

Eileen, who was watching the scene, clenched her fists.

“Why only me…”

Of these three, only she could not use her magic.

2.

It was a distracting atmosphere, as if a storm had blown through.

Rudrick, who had been petting and rubbing Arwen and Sylpia pretending to be cats and dogs, respectively, picked them up again at some point and fell asleep with his head down.

Sylphia, who had been biting her lips as if she was a bit regretful, murmured as she returned to her polymorphed human form.

“……I’m already asleep.”

“That’s right.”

Arwen also helped by dispelling her transformation magic.

I was stunned when Rudric got drunk and used a harsh tone that I didn’t normally use and even sloppy words, but the crisis soon turned into an opportunity.

Thanks to Arwen and Sylpia, they were able to spend a happy time, but Eileen was left out of the situation just because she couldn’t use the magic to transform into an animal.

“…Do you have no self-respect?”

Eileen didn’t bother to hide her heartbroken face.

Of course, if she had been able to use transformation magic while saying that, she would have used magic faster than anyone else.

Eileen tickled, promising that if she went back to the North, she would learn transformation magic, even if she personally hired a wizard.

“I can’t keep Rudrick here like this, so I’ll go back to the imperial palace.”

“That’s the same.”

Arwen nodded her head.

I couldn’t say the inn’s facilities were bad, but it would be more convenient in many ways to wake up tomorrow morning in the original room in the imperial palace than to let them sleep here.

“Then I’ll move it by magic.”

Sylpia, who was watching for her chance, quickly took the word.

“With magic?”

“Then do you intend to take me on your back? Ayy, you wouldn’t try to satisfy your selfishness like that, would you?”

“……I don’t think you have anything to say, but I agree with you first.”

“Hmmm.”

Sylphia cleared her throat at Eileen’s counterattack. She transformed into a puppy and ran onto Rudrick’s lap at once to satisfy her selfishness, but no matter what anyone said, she did not regret that choice.

However, when she came to her senses belatedly, it was as if she had been possessed by something, and it was just a little embarrassing.

First of all, Sylpia jumped Rudrick up with her light gesture.

And when he gestured again, Rudrick’s figure disappeared as if it were being sucked into the air.

It was a very high-level teleportation magic, but it wasn’t that difficult for the dragon Sylphia.

It’s a bit late, but for now, the misunderstanding has been resolved and the situation is over.

With only three left, Eileen opened her mouth.

“……So how did you come here?”

“The time has passed for Rudric to come, but he has not returned.”

Arwen answered calmly.

The whole story was like this.

It’s time to finish dinner, but Rudrick hasn’t returned. Eileen was accompanying him, and since Rudrick himself was a high-level wizard, nothing would have happened, but Eileen accompanying him was the problem.

Leaving all the worst imaginable possibilities open, Arwen and Silfia made a dramatic agreement to shake off old feelings and cooperate this time, and immediately realized the absurdity of using detection magic targeting the entire capital of the empire. At the end of the order, they found out the location of Sylphia and Ludrick.

Unfortunately, that location was a tavern that also served as an inn.

As soon as I confirmed the location, I immediately ran and witnessed the scene just a rough outline of the incident.

After hearing Arwen’s explanation, Eileen touched her forehead, and she immediately shook her head in displeasure.

“……How the hell are you treating me?”

“First of all, would you like to button up that button? I have no interest in looking at women’s underwear.”

“…….”

At Sylpia’s point, Eileen made an excuse by fastening her half-unbuttoned button.

“……I thought this was because I was going to go back to my room and wash up since I laid Rudrick down.”

“I’m sorry.”

“No matter what you say, it’s only an excuse.”

Eileen lamented as she buttoned up her buttons, but the night was getting deeper.

I felt resentful of Rudrick, who would have been transferred to his room in the imperial palace and fell asleep again, but it was already spilled water and it was all in the past.

And it was the same for Silfia and Arwen.

Please pray that Rudrick will not remember what happened today.

The three left the room without a word.
