Chapter 473 The Customer of the Occult Service Club
Inside the royal palace.
Within the magnificent and grand hall.
All the guards and servants had long since left.
The entire air was filled with the alluring aroma of wine.
After the subjugation of the White Whale...
And after rewarding the army...
Was the celebration banquet between Ayato and his servants.
Even Beatrice, who normally didn't drink, had a few sips, her face flushed.
"What's wrong, Emilia? Have you had too much to drink?"
Ayato looked at the dazed Emilia and smiled.
"Hehe, I haven't had too much."
Sensing Ayato's gaze, Emilia hugged his arm and nuzzled it like a kitten.
"Lady Emilia, so sly."
Rem, also drunk, hugged Ayato's other arm.
"Sly are the two of you." xN.
At some point.
The perfectly fine banquet had begun to grow increasingly chaotic, turning into a battle over a body pillow.
"Th-th-th-this..."
Crusch's wine glass slipped from her hand and fell to the floor, her body completely stiff. "Um, everyone, if you've had too much, go rest. You..."
Her voice grew softer and softer, until she couldn't even hear herself.
On the other side.
Anastasia was completely dumbfounded.
To be honest.
She had always been subjected to the onslaught of sounds.
But she had never experienced such a scene.
Th-this was too...
She shook her head. She couldn't hold on any longer. She hurriedly, with her left and right hands moving together, walked outside.
"Um, I've had enough. I'm going to rest first."
"Wait for me. Betty is coming too."
Beatrice quickly floated up as well.
If she stayed any longer, who knew what would happen.
On the other side!
Crusch was already flustered, her heartbeat deafening.
Her breathing quickened, her eyes somewhat dazed, her hands...
Wait!
What was she doing?
She shook her head vigorously, driving away that hint of drunkenness.
"Um, I have things to handle. I'm going first."
Leaving behind those words, Crusch fled in panic.
After returning to her room.
Crusch leaned against the wall, her eyes gradually growing dazed.
"Body... so hot."
She took a deep breath and cautiously looked around.
Then!
Crusch closed her eyes, the scenes from just now playing in her mind.
The next afternoon!
Occult Service Club.
Hana and Yukino glared at each other.
Sparks seemed to fly in the air.
This tense standoff left Ayato somewhat baffled.
Weren't these two usually on good terms?
"What's going on with you two?"
Finally, Ayato couldn't hold back and asked.
At his words.
Hana and Yukino jumped like cats whose tails had been stepped on.
"N-nothing's going on."
"Yeah, Master, it's just your imagination."
Something was off.
Twelve out of ten, something was off.
Ayato looked at them with some suspicion.
These two girls were definitely up to something.
Hana and Yukino's eyes were evasive, but they didn't say a word.
They couldn't very well say they were fighting over who would give themselves to Master first.
Such things...
Were better left unspoken.
If they actually said it out loud...
They still had their pride.
On the other side.
Shizuka watched this scene with a faint smile.
Sometimes...
As a spectator, it seemed very interesting.
Knock, knock!
Just then, a knock sounded at the door.
Everyone in the room was stunned.
"No way, someone actually came?"
Shizuka Hiratsuka instinctively commented. "Someone who comes looking for a place with this name is probably also not normal."
"Watch your mouth."
Ayato glared at her. "A teacher who's slacking off during class hours has no right to say that."
Shizuka said innocently, "I don't have class, okay."
Ignoring Shizuka, Ayato said, "The door isn't locked. Come in."
Creak!
The door to the Occult Service Club was opened.
A girl in Gothic Lolita style, holding a doll, walked in.
Seeing Ayato and the others, she said timidly, "Hello, everyone?"
Could this club really solve supernatural incidents?
Her gaze swept over them, but she felt a bit unreliable.
Besides one man...
Everyone else was beautiful girls.
Wasn't there something wrong with this club?
For a moment.
She regretted coming.
Dorothy Flamsteed.
Ayato's eyes flickered.
He had some impression of her.
In the original timeline, she was a girl who would be replaced by a Cursed Spirit.
But now, it seemed things hadn't reached that point yet.
