Chapter 97 Not an angel, nor a tool, but human!

  The inter-school competition has ended, and Xing You and others are enjoying their leisurely life before the entire continent's inter-school competition.

  Sei Yū, who was originally fine physically, rarely didn't go to ascetic practices. In a quiet tavern on the outskirts of the royal capital, he drank with Ikaros.

  Icaros tucked away his folded wings, hiding them under the wide magician's robe. Otherwise, just Icaros' identity would cause a huge commotion. Hoshi Yū was drinking a fruit wine with an extremely low alcohol content, and in his heart he couldn't help but miss something called beer.

  Ordinary fruit wine is like plain water to Ikaros. Seira intentionally gave Ikaros a glass of the strongest liquor, Blue Star, to see if the artificial angel would get drunk. However, the result left Seira utterly stunned.

  It's usually diluted with water, but Icaros downed a whole cup of the strong blue liquor as if it were plain water.

  What shocked Seung Yoo wasn't that Icaros had downed a full glass of undiluted hard liquor, but rather that it was the artificial angel Icaros who did so.

  He actually flushed bright red, lowered his head and hiccuped, shocking Xing Yu to the core. Icarus can actually get drunk?

  "Master, database check is normal, why do I feel dizzy in my head?"

  Seiya suddenly found that he and Icaros had become the focus of several people in this tavern, or rather, the blue Stratos wine on the table in front of Seiya was the center of attention. The super strong man next to the bartender who was staring at Seiya ordered a cup of blue Stratos.

  Walked over to Xing Yu and Ikaros, picked up the pale blue crystal glass, turned it upside down, and looked at Ikaros, who appeared extremely weak.

  "How is this possible? Bluestar isn't some ordinary bloody Mary, but a top-shelf liquor that's been processed through nine cycles of water and fire magic by master mages, resulting in a sky-blue glow effect. It has to be heavily diluted with ice water just to be drinkable! No matter where they're from, any drunkard who dares to challenge Bluestar directly gets taken down!"

  "But the young girl in front of me, who is so tender and delicate, actually downed a whole bottle of Blue Star wine. And yet, she only got a little dizzy and her face flushed slightly with a hint of red. She's really too amazing! I've been hanging out in the imperial capital for so long, but this is the first time I've seen a girl with such courage!"

  Xing You had no idea what kind of liquor Bluest was, and it turned out to be so potent. Or should I say, the even more potent one is actually Ikaros?

  "This sturdy man sat down beside Xing You: 'My name is Kase. It's rare to meet such a formidable figure here, I wonder if I'll have the good fortune of drinking with you all!'"

  Although in the past, including now, Xingyou was a bit of an otaku, being an otaku doesn't mean that Xingyou doesn't know how to drink. What is drinking all about?

  For Xing You, what kind of wine to drink, what kind of environment and atmosphere are all irrelevant, the most important thing is one word, refreshing!

  Drinking alone is refreshing? No! We must drink together until we're drunk and can't return home!

  Xing You directly faced the bartender and all the disbelieving customers here, waved his hand: "Today's consumption is on me!"

  Money is just a number for Xing Yu, who now possesses the three major sealed artifacts of the Demon Clan.

  All the customers raised their wine glasses in cheers, threw away the so-called worldly shackles, and forgot everything they should bear.

  Everyone's mind was left with only one thought, which is to drink freely, drink too much and go out to vomit, after vomiting continue drinking.

  The first to fall down can't be called a man, they are bitches!

  Xīng Yōu directly pulled up the sleeves of his magician's robe, looked at the wine ghosts who were constantly provoking Ikaros, and blocked the way in front of Ikaros' face which was completely red.

  "Bullying a girl, what kind of hero is that! As her man, I'll take on you bunch of trash who can't even fight for five minutes, and your reckless challenge!"

  "Alright, enough for us old men! Brothers, come on over, let's take him down together and have a drink!"

  Icaros looked at Xing You who was drinking bowl after bowl, and he was completely different from the slightly foolish man he used to be.

  Icaros' face grew redder and even she couldn't tell whether it was the effect of the alcohol or her master's words. Her master had actually said that he was her man!

  Icarus slowly sipped the fruit wine handed to him by his master, who had not yet finished drinking. He looked at the man who let go of everything and challenged everyone alone. Only now did he realize that his master also had such a side?

  Due to Xingyou's appearance on stage, Ikaros' exit, the whole tavern was filled with loud cheers. Although the entire tavern had become chaotic and turned into a battleground for drunkards.

  However, the boss handed over a black card representing his identity to Xing You. And Xing You's words that all expenses today would be covered by him. The boss and all employees kept moving out wine from the warehouse, whether it was fruit wine, fine wine or strong liquor, as if they didn't cost money.

  In this remote tavern in the capital, no one knows how long they've been drinking, but they managed to drink from morning till dawn. In the end, only Ikaros and Sei Yuu were left standing on the battlefield, while everyone else was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, having their own sweet dreams.

  Although he didn't fall down, the drunken Sei Yuu tightly hugged the woman beside him: "Icaros, you're really too amazing."

  Even if Seiya's alcohol tolerance was impressive, it would have been impossible for him to take down that many people by himself; he only managed to stand until the end thanks to Icarus' support.

  Icarus, tightly hugged by his master, lowered his head and found that his power furnace (heart) was accelerating rapidly.

  "You're really something, master!"

  "I'm definitely awesome! If I weren't awesome, how could I be your master and man?"

  Icarus looked at the master who had declared his ownership and finally made a choice of his own.

  Icaros' face turned bright red as he pressed his cherry lips onto Sei Yu's: "This is the seal that witnesses everything between us two!"

  The increasingly strong wine, Xingyou's head has become a bit dizzy and confused, I don't know if he will remember what Icaros did and said. No matter whether Xingyou remembers or not, everything is no longer important to Icaros. Because Icaros has already imprinted all of Xingyou's current state on his own heart.

  Xing You was a bit dazed and pressed against Icaros' face, the deeper they kissed, it seemed like he didn't plan on letting go of the woman in his arms.

  Until he was finally out of breath, Icarus let go. He gasped for air, intermittently, not knowing whether it was to Icarus or to himself that he said.

  "My Ikaros is not an angel, nor a tool. She's human, and she's the most important person in my life."

  Icarus supported his already drunken master and left, listening to his nonsensical words after getting drunk.

  Icaros's heart was deeply shaken. Yes, meeting his own master, he was no longer an angel, not a tool, but a human being!
