"Thank god you liked my food, I was so nervous that you would hate it. But hearing you say that it tastes good eased my heart~" Amane celebrated as she was so happy that she could walk on clouds, hearing a compliment like that come from the woman she loves is enough for her and even though it may seem that she was nonchalant about it when complimenting her food, Amane could feel that she held some sincerity in her words which made her even more happy.
And just like that the good atmosphere that they have come back and it was not merrier than ever now with Celeste joining them who would talk whenever she was mentioned, she would also be the one who strikes the conversation without her getting nervous anymore. But after a few rounds of drinks which actually drained Yuki's two bottles of Wine, her strongest one, four people got drunk even though they are a cultivator which should be almost impossible since her wine was made with Mortal ingredients.
"What the fu… How did they even get drunk from the wine that I made? Serene, how could that have happened? That is a wine that I made back when I was still in the Mortal Realm, a time when I don't have any powers. Shouldn't that be impossible?" Yuki asked in an annoyed voice as there were currently two people who are currently poking both of her cheeks while the other one continuously patted her head while she was sitting on her lap. But it wasn't just her who was continuously being messed with, it was the same with Serene as Ayame was not completely acting like a baby.
"Ahhh… I also have no idea why did this happen. Don't ask me." Serene said in annoyance but everyone knew that she was acting because if she really meant what she said she wouldn't have a smile plastered on her face while she kept on pinching Ayame's cheek who can't do anything because she can't think properly due to how drunk she was.
"Shit… never mind. I already know why the alcohol strikes them. It's because I put them in my Spatial Ring, the same Ring where I also place all the Soul Realms of those I killed. I think the Mana and Qi that are naturally dwelling and leaking out of the Soul Realm got mixed with my wine and got stronger because of it. I didn't even realize it myself because I have a high alcohol tolerance. But… you, you didn't take a single drink. That's why you're not drunk. You can't fool me, you already knew that the wine is stronger and purposely didn't drink any so that you can enjoy your time with my Mother. I must say, it's a pretty good plan, it might work on her but not me." Yuki snickered as she tried to stand up but was put down as soon as she tried by the three women who surrounded her.
"Don't leave, Yuki~ we want to cuddle with you some more," Kurokami said in a gibberish voice as she now hugged Yuki's whole body. She was one of the most affected by the alcohol such as why she acts like this.
"Wuki… don't be mad, I pomise I'll be a good girl." But Fumik got it worse, even her words are already twisted apart, and she can't even form words correctly anymore, but her cuteness was undeniable. It makes Yuki want to spoil her for some reason. But she couldn't even form words when she felt something wet behind her, she suddenly had a bad premonition and when she turned around she saw Amane bursting into tears.
"Ahhh… Yuki is mad and doesn't want me to be around us anymore. Please don't leave, I will be a good girl, I promise!" Celeste cried as tears burst out of her eyes and begins to drop slowly in Yuki's back. A vein slowly popped up on her forehead but soon it disappeared as she calms herself down since this was practically her fault for letting her drink the wine carelessly. She had thought that it would be fine since all of them are cultivators but it turns out that she was wrong and they are still greatly affected by the wine.
"I'm not mad nor I will leave. I just wanted to stand up because my legs already feel numb but it looks like I won't be needing to stand up anymore. Yumie, I entrust you with your two little sisters. All three of you can sleep together, as for you… You can take my Mother back, but I'm telling you! Don't even try and take advantage of her!" Yuki tasked Yumie as the eldest sister to take care of the two as she set up the camp and gave Serene and her Mother their own, but she didn't forget to warn her to not take advantage just because she was drunk.
"And… Alisha, I know you're watching. I'm sorry if I made your daughter drunk but can you please take her for now? I already have the two of them and I don't think I will be able to handle all three of them at the same time." Yuki sighed as she looked up in the sky and soon after a portal appeared and a beautiful woman that could shake the heavens came out with a soft smile on her face.
"Fufufu~ What are you talking about, my dear daughter-in-law? Shouldn't you be the one to take care of my daughter since you put her in this situation? I'm assuming that it's only right for me to assume that you'll take responsibility, I mean you are the great Yuki after all. A person who knows when she makes mistakes and knows how to atone for them." Alisha dropped to the side of Yuki and couldn't help but pat the head of Amane who was so drunk that she didn't even know that her Mother is already there. But even so, she didn't get mad and was quite happy because she can still see some innocent sides of her daughter plus this would make the two couples to be closer.
"You…" Yuki was left speechless and from this, she already knew that she can't refute Alisha's words and can only relent to take care of Amane. But she is still going to say a few words before she says goodbye.
"You are so confident that I'm going to be your daughter-in-law, are you even sure that's going to happen-" Yuki's words were stopped by Alisha's confident answer.
"Oh, yes. I'm sure that you two will definitely end up together. It might not be now, or tomorrow. But someday, definitely… You know, Love is the most complex thing in this world, no matter where it is. Whether it is the Mortal Realm or the Immortal Realm, Love is the most complex thing to understand. We can come up with many theories that can be actually proven right on why the Universe exists, or how can we use Magic. But Love, there is no real explanation why it's here, there's no explanation why you are in love with someone or why you feel love and vice versa. Even if you ask billions of people what is love, all of them will give you different answers. Because that is just how love is, it's the most mysterious thing." Alisha smiled as she disappeared and left with those words for Yuki to understand.
