Chapter 144: The Question of "Love".
For a long time, the lips parted.
In the darkness, Jasmine raised her head, and her voice was completely cold and domineering in the opposite of usual: "Mick, do you like me?" ”
Mick's mind was blank, his thoughts were still stuck in the kiss just now, and he finally came back to his senses, and suddenly the lights turned on, and Jasmine's crimson and calm appearance fell into Mick's eyes, but the two were too close at this time, and Mick, who had never had such close contact with other members of the opposite sex, immediately turned red.
"Huh? Looks like you still need some encouragement? ”
And just when Mick didn't know what to do, two hands suddenly reached out from Jasmine's armpits, and pulled her up from Mick, and then Mona's head came out from behind Jasmine, gesticulating: "That, Mick, I'm sorry, Jasmine, she's drunk." ”
"Mona, I'm not drunk!" Jasmine angrily said to Mona behind her, trying to break free of Mona and pounce on Mick again, Mona had no choice but to throw Jasmine to Lisa.
As for Brandon, he had cleverly closed the door and stood guard with Jasmine in case Auston suddenly appeared.
Mona also knew that she was in trouble at this time, and she just wanted to tease Jasmine and help her timid best friend by the way, but she didn't expect Jasmine to be like a completely different person after drinking, and her personality was diametrically opposite, and she actually came up directly and kissed Mick, if she didn't help her fool the past, I'm afraid Jasmine would hate herself for several months, right?
And Mick was stunned when he heard that Jasmine was drunk, and then reacted, subconsciously touched his lips and said, "Oh...... It's no wonder that Jasmine suddenly becomes like another person, so why are you letting Jasmine drink? Didn't know if this was a violation of the law?! ”
"Shhh Mona motioned for Mick not to speak loudly, and said angrily, "We only let her drink a little bit, is it because she herself is too bad at drinking?" You see, we've all drunk, aren't we all fine? ”
Mick pointed to the four people in front of him in disbelief, "You've all drunk?" Is it that bottle of fruit wine from Marcas? Are you hiding? ”
Brandon and Lisa looked at Mona with speechless expressions, and Mona, who knew that she was exposed, simply grinned: "Oops~ Aren't we curious about what it tastes like~ Don't be as serious as Auston~ Look, hasn't Jasmine already compensated you for us?" Don't take advantage of it! It was Jasmine's first kiss, take on your man's responsibility! ”
Brandon and Lisa saw that Mona was getting more and more momentum and confidence, while Mick, who was opposite her, was speechless and couldn't help but secretly extend a thumbs up to Mona. As for Jasmine, she tossed in Lisa's arms for a while and then fell asleep.
Mick looked at Jasmine with his mouth wide open, pointed at himself and said, "Please, I was forcibly kissed by Jasmine, am I the victim?" ”
Mona saw that Mick, who had always been smart, had been led astray by herself, so she immediately got off the donkey and said, "Okay, for the sake of your own sake, I'll let you go this time, if Jasmine doesn't remember, don't tell her, you know?" Also, we are not allowed to tell Auston about our secret drinking! ”
Mick didn't know why his position had somehow become the way it is now, but the four of them were all his roommates, and they only drank fruit wine, Mick didn't want to criticize them, so he nodded helplessly: "Then just treat it as if nothing happened......
"Well, so be it." Mona secretly breathed a sigh of relief, frowning as her eyes touched Kenneth and asked, "Kenny, hasn't he woken up yet?" ”
After the football game, the three girls had been calling Kenneth "captain", and Kenneth didn't think much of it at first, but when he found out that Lisa couldn't remember his name, Kenneth quickly asked them to call themselves by their own names again.
Mick just shook his head.
"That's right...... If you can't catch Castro's Holy Grail Sacrifice, I'm afraid that Kenny himself will be the most unwilling. Mona regretted, "Okay, we'll have to take Jasmine to sober up too, let's go first." ”
Mona stretched out her paws, glanced at Brandon and Lisa, and immediately withdrew from Kenneth's room, which went dark again.
Mick licked the lingering lime aroma from his lips and walked to the door to touch the wall, the roof shining brightly again.
Mick slowly closed the door, his mood was complicated, although he was a little flustered, but he was undeniably a little excited, after all, this was the first time he had such intimate contact with a girl, and it was impossible to say that he didn't feel a little bit. Mick sat down on the bed, a little distracted for a moment.
"Jasmine is only so out of shape when she's drunk, she doesn't kiss you because she likes you, don't be sentimental." Mick said in a low voice, but the intimate appearance of the two of them appeared in his mind, and his heart couldn't help but flutter.
"Is this the love between men and women between human beings? It's funny......" But a warm and magnetic voice sounded in Mick's ears, so frightened that Mick hurriedly turned his head, and it turned out to be Hephaestus, who had run out again, reclining on the bed, looking at Mick with great interest.
Mick hurriedly shook his head and denied: "You were misunderstood, just now it was just Jasmine's drunken gaffe, not the love between men and women!" ”
Hephaestus looked disappointed when he heard this, took out a romance novel under Kenneth's pillow and opened it: "It's a pity, I still want to see if the plot in this is true......
Mick was stunned for a moment, snatched the novel from Hephaestus's hand, and the page described the scene of the hero and heroine kissing and falling in love, and pointed at Kenneth with shocked eyes: "This is really Kenneth's book?!" ”
Hephaestus shrugged: "Since you found it under his pillow, it should be his, right?" Tsk, human emotions are really rich......"
Mick put the book in his hand on the bedside table, looked at Hephaestus and asked, "Isn't there love between the dragons?" ”
And Hephaestus touched his smooth chin, bared his teeth and said fiercely: "Is the relationship that wants to eat the other party considered love?" ”
Mick was frightened by Hephaestus' words, and immediately shook his head in denial: "Of course not! ”
"Oh?" Hephaestus landed on Mick with a pair of snake eyes and asked, "So what is 'love'?" ”
"Don't dragons have a mate?" Mick himself was just a teenager, and he knew what love was, so he asked Hephaestus.
"Spouse? It was a weak move by a weak dragon in order to raise a strong offspring. Let yourself be under the wings of the strong, is this 'love'? Hephaestus wondered.
Mick covered his face and said, "Why should I discuss the question of 'what is love' with a dragon......
"Because it's fun, haha." Hephaestus, on the other hand, laughed heartily.
"Interesting...... Is it? ”
"Because dragons are too single in their feelings compared to humans...... Hephaestus' eyes reflected a cold chill, and then his body turned into a flame and disappeared beside Mick.
"Dragon's ...... Affection? Mick thought for a moment and couldn't come up with a reason, glancing at Kenneth and walking out the door, and the room went dark.
After a long time, a flame appeared in the air and re-transformed into the human form of Hephaestus, floating in the air and muttering, "It is precisely because of this that human beings are so weak." ”
——————
The next day, Brandon left the academy and returned to Geraldine, and before leaving, Auston asked if he needed their help, and then Brandon decisively refused under the pretext of "who wants a cook's help", so angry that Auston almost turned around and left. The two are still noisy even when they are separated, it can only be said that the two are really angry and difficult to get along.
As for the others, they still stayed in the academy, and Jasmine forgot about last night's incident when she woke up, and as for Mick and Mona, they tacitly hid this matter in their hearts, but some feelings have been quietly planted. In the next half month, the people of Phil House, like other students in the academy, waited for the good news from Clair and the others in Duobang, and occasionally went out to visit the scenery of Luther City, which was a rare relaxing time for Mick, Calvin also felt that Mick needed to enjoy a period of time belonging to his youth, and he was not in a hurry to arrange another project for Mick, but he once again plunged into the study of double magic casting.
On October 25th, the final results of the Derrakli Grail Sacrifice selection battle came from Duobang, and as in previous years, the Luther Academy of Magic and the Holman Academy were the first and second places respectively to represent the Delekley Region, and they were about to go to the imperial capital Castro to participate in the Holy Grail Sacrifice and compete with the national magic academies.
As soon as the news reached the ears of every student in the student council, a deafening cheer rang out throughout Lutheran College.
"We're going to Castro!"
However, this was mixed news for the students of Phil House, as William, who was said to have played an important role in the game as Kenneth's replacement, and was able to replace Kenneth as a regular member of the team if Kenneth could not wake up before the Holy Grail Sacrifice.
A day later, Claire presented Alva with the trophy in the middle of the school, and the audience was once again overwhelmed with cheers.
Castro's Grail Sacrifice will officially begin on December 3rd, and all Lutheran Academy of Magic students will leave for Castro at the end of October with the participants, so Kenneth only has five days left, and if you deduct the last day of battle preparation, Kenneth only has four days left.
Just as the deadline was approaching, Kenneth, who had been sleeping for a month, finally opened his eyes slowly, and the first sentence shocked everyone:
"I ...... Who is it? ”
