Chapter 170
Chapter 170
In broad daylight, Anguis Regina and I drank. Now, several hours had passed since night had fallen.
I hadn’t refused to drink with her. Even looking back on my actions, I had no particular reason for it. I just wanted to do something—whether it was drinking or talking with Anguis Regina.
Thinking about it this way, maybe there was a reason. External stimulation helped me forget the festering rot and stench inside me. That’s why broken people sought endless pleasure and stimulation.
......Gabriel must have felt the same. Just like other defeated souls who had given up.
But I didn’t want to be a loser.
"Huff, ha... why... why don’t you get drunk?"
Anguis Regina exhaled a sweet breath as she spoke. A complex scent drifted from her—a mix of perfume, her natural scent, and alcohol.
"I handle alcohol well."
I answered briefly and set my glass down. In truth, my insides were already on the verge of revolting.
My head could hold out, but my stomach couldn’t handle the strong liquor. If I relaxed even a little, I’d end up spewing vomit like a fountain.
Anguis Regina twisted and swayed her whole body, yet stubbornly kept drinking. Empty bottles rolled around at her feet.
