Chapter 69: Someone, Please Cut My Tongue Off!
Charlotte couldn’t move. For a moment, her brain rejected the information outright.
Then it hit her like a tsunami crashing into a quiet beach.
She had just drank bird piss.
Her eyes widened, and she slapped both hands over her mouth. She turned to the plate, the once-delicious meat now sitting like a crime scene in front of her and her body instinctively tried to reject it, she gagged slightly, hunched over like she might puke.
But no. It was already down...Gone down to her stomach.
And realising that it was too late and that she could only blame the person who was the cause of all of this, Charlotte slowly turned to stare at Mika like he’d just strangled her pet unicorn.
"I-I trusted you, Mika." She whispered, dramatically lifting a trembling finger at him as if it were a blade of divine justice. "I trusted you so much."
Mika blinked, still grinning, though it twitched a little under the weight of what was coming.
"Like, so much!" She went on, voice cracking. "Do you remember earlier today?! I jumped off a flying sword! To my death! Because I believed you’d catch me! And you did! So I thought, ’Wow, he’s reliable, I can trust him with anything!’"
"...But what do I get in return?! What do I get?!"
She pointed wildly toward the bowl, shaking with raw betrayal.
"You made me dip my meat into bird piss, Mika! You let me drink bird piss!"
