Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 1025 Drunk Dragon

Chapter 1025 Drunk Dragon

Back in the Inn, Lith met his aunt and Sylvia in the cafeteria.

The purple dragon was strangling the platinum-haired witch with her aggressive hug and chugging down cheap liquor with a happy smile on her face.

"Milady, please collect yourself."

"Bah! You shan't be so rigid, ya know?" Mayzin said with her dreamy eyes locked onto Sylvia's calm gray ones. "One drink, hic–, never hurtn't n.o.body!"

"Milady, please…"

What Sylvia was doing wasn't requesting Mayzin, but negotiating. That's right, a drunkard couldn't be managed with common sense, especially not the one who ruled over all dragons and had a hobby of sleeping on a mountain of gold.

Lith watched the scene with an amused smile. He had no thoughts of interfering in the affairs of these two and calmly sipped on his ginger ale.

Tearing down on a juicy piece of sizzling meat while continuing to strangle Sylvia with a hug, Mayzin said, "Yuf shufd dfry fis!"

"Milady…"

Sylvia, who had always been indifferent, suddenly had an urge to cry. She just couldn't handle the situation this time — it was beyond her capabilities.

Although she felt such things internally, her facial muscles only contorted slightly in grimace. The indifference of hers wasn't something that could change in one single day.

She turned to look at Lith, her Master, and pleaded with her calm, flickering gray eyes.

Lith smiled and took a sip of his ginger ale. "Is something the matter, my maid?"

Before Sylvia could respond, Mayzin slammed down her wooden beer jug on the table, grabbing the two's attention.

"Waitaah! Tshu moaaar-!"

"…"

ƈοm The entire cafeteria turned to look at her as she said that. After all, why would they not?

Mayzin's words were less of a drunkard's order and more of a dragon's roar!

Sylvia suppressed her urge to facepalm at this while Lith tried his best to not break into fits of laughter.

The waiters in the cafeteria were startled by Mayzin's explosive voice and hurried towards her with two jugs of foamy, yellowy beer made from the finest malt in the kingdom.

"Good! Go, hic–, good!" Mayzin said after chugging down a pint of beer in one go. She got back to chewing on the tough, gamey meat and her focus was gone from Sylvia, who finally got a breather.

"It's fun, isn't it?" Lith asked with a teasing smile.

Sylvia practiced her right to remain silent and didn't reply.

Lith chuckled and indulged in drinking the ginger ale, awaiting Fei's arrival, who appeared in the cafeteria a few minutes later while holding the hand of a ginger-haired girl.

Under the soft light of the cafeteria, the blonde and the ginger looked like walking sunrise and sunset as they made their way towards Lith.

They attracted quite the gazes, but with both being Supremes and exuding a scary aura, none dared to approach them.

"Master." Fei bowed and greeted Lith as she stood before him.

Lith patted the seat beside him, gesturing her to sit.

Fei did and she gestured to the ginger head that it was fine to sit here.

Hesitantly, the ginger sat down beside Fei.

"Oooh~… what a cutie…"

Mayzin said in her drunken state and tried to pinch the ginger's cheek from across the table.

"Milady, please control."

Sylvia grabbed her waist and stopped her moving across the table to do so.

"Chuuu, don't be like this…"

Mayzin blew raspberries and said with a pouty look.

'Where is her pride?' Lith thought to himself. 'Aunt Lucifer warned me so much to not hurt her pride… but does she even have it?'

Smiling and shaking his head, Lith dropped the thought and turned to look at the ginger-haired girl.

"h.e.l.lo~"

Lith smiled and waved at her.

The girl shrinked in her seat and tried to hide behind Fei's small back.

Fei turned towards her and grabbed her hand. Rubbing the back of it gently, she looked her in the eyes and said, "We talked over this, right? There's nothing to be afraid about."

The girl bit her lower lip and nodded with a forced expression.

She looked past Fei's shoulder, at Lith's smiling face, and said, "H, h.e.l.lo… "

The girl that was scared to even look at him could now sit near him and hold a conversation. This was quite the improvement. Lith knew Fei wouldn't disappoint.

"I'm Lith, pleased to make your acquaintance."

It was a formal greeting from Lith's side. He didn't want to make the girl uncomfortable, hence he didn't speak informally in his usual tone this time.

The girl did a slight nod. "Likewise."

Fei, still grasping the girl's hand, said, "Meryl, that's my Master, as I mentioned before. Eyes and perception can be misguided at times, so please try to look through your heart when conversing. You'll understand what sort of man my Master is. Okay?"

"Okay…" Meryl said with her head lowered.

It was a lot of pain conversing with this girl who was scared like a toddler lost in a carnival. It was by far the most difficult task she had ever gotten.

Who would've thought that talking was more difficult than going against heavens?

Initially, Meryl was scared to even let out her spiritual sense to see who was near her. Add to that, she was blind. She couldn't see the faces of people and cowered in fear because of the high amounts of negative energy coming from them.

Meryl perceived everybody as killers, someone who she must avoid. Fei didn't have blood on her hands and thus let her have some room to talk to her.

Fei didn't directly jump the gun. She first settled down and stayed quiet, letting Meryl get used to her company.

Then, she requested Meryl to see her through her spiritual sense and listen to her.

When Meryl saw how harmless Fei looked, and also cute, she lowered her guard.

Fei wasn't pretending to be cute. There was no mask or disguise on her. There also wasn't any form of malice or deception Meryl could feel from her, hence she listens quietly.

Slowly and surely, Fei made Meryl open up and talk to her. By the end of their convo, she hugged Fei and wailed in her embrace.

It took a lot of effort to calm her down, but Fei succeeded in doing so.

Meryl and her weren't so different.

Like Fei, Meryl lost everyone dear to her and somehow arrived in this world.

Fei sympathized with her and comforted her to the best of her abilities while slowly letting her know that Lith was harmless.

Things took time, but the efforts came to fruition with the conversation currently happening in the cafeteria.

Despite the loud noise, Meryl conversed with Lith. Yes, Fei may be in between the two acting like a protective wall for Meryl, but the wheel was rolling.

During their conversation, the drunk dragon ordered fried squid rings. It came to her in a minute and when she had her first bite, she felt like throwing up.

Sylvia was quick to take her away, and with her gone, Lith had a proper chat with Meryl and got to know her.

From Meryl's backstory, he realized she was from another world and came here through a spatial rift.

She didn't know her way back home and even if she did, there was n.o.body back there whom she could meet.

Lith didn't ask for sensitive information. He didn't even ask her about her past, but Meryl opened up on her own.

There was a point when she broke down and began sobbing. Fei hugged her and comforted her, saying everything was okay, and that she was in a safe place now.

Fei then skillfully diverted the topic and steered the convo to a more casual tone where Lith, her, and Meryl talked about things such as "do you like it here?" "Are you finding the place to your liking?" "Do you know we have phones and all…"

And finally, the conversation came to an end when Lith introduced music to Meryl.

Fei gave her phone and a pair of earphones to Meryl. She plugged in and began listening to cla.s.sics such as Beethoven and Mozart.

Her clouded green eyes may not help her see, but her auditory perception opened up an entirely new world for her.

Meryl began shaking while listening to music, clearly enjoying herself.

Lith watched her with interest and Fei too did the same.

"I didn't know my butler had a talent for diplomacy." Lith teased.

Fei rolled her eyes and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Master."

Lith smiled at Fei's visible displeasure.

"By the way, did she tell you why she went blind?"

"No. I didn't ask her. When the time comes, she will open up on her own. It's best if we don't rush things."

"No issues. Let things flow slowly."

Fei nodded her head and the two turned quiet.

Meryl swayed her head side to side while listening to music. It was slow at first, then turned intense.

"Hoof!"

Meryl raised her hands and began moving them as if she was orchestrating a choir.

This intensified further. Her body trembled in amus.e.m.e.nt and finally...

"Meow~!"

"…"
