As the waitress approached the table, I started to get nervous about what I had just got myself into and what kind of hell awaited me this time. The waitress was a thin woman who had brown hair and blue eyes. She grabbed the bottles from the bartender, who continued to give me the stink eye, which caused me to look away briefly. As the woman started walking over towards us with the bottles and tray in her hand, she had what appeared to be at least a dozen different bottles of various sizes and alcohol %s I could notice upon further inspecting the labels some had bones and skulls. I instantly began thinking to myself, "Tonight, I might die from alcohol poisoning."

Looking at the thin woman one last time, admiring her frame and beauty before everything would turn upside down for the night, I patiently waited with Jacosta, Seira, Reena and Maria while she worked at placing down all the bottles. Finally, when the waitress lifted her hand back up off the table, all the bottles from the tray she held had been placed down. That was when Seira turned to me. Though Seira was annoying, she did have a certain charm, and while she turned and faced me in the light, it was then I saw just how beautiful of a woman she was as the light sparkled off her. Though her figure was small, that was not a bad thing, and the more I would look at her, the more I could spot differences between her and the other ladies in the pub who were human. I could begin to notice features about her that the mortal woman in the room did not have, for example, a slender jawline and, of course, pointed ears. But compared to the others, Seira had alluring eyes with those other noticeable traits; she is perfectly sculpted; even her nose was small and adorable; she had a very charming presence. I could not help but think as she stared at me confused, but all of my happy thoughts of her being something other than a nuisance faded when she took another shot and said with a now dizzy look on her face, "Pick your poison Azurith unless you're not man enough."

Looking at each bottle, I had a choice. But I could not decide which 'poison to pick.' I looked at Seira, who smiled before her smirk turned sadistic. She was creepy, and her smile sent shivers running down my back, but before I could think, I opened a few bottles and started to smell each one of them. The first liquor I could smell was inside some weird-skull-shaped bottle, and it smelt like nail polish remover, which caused me to gag. Holding my breath after getting a good whiff, I placed down the crystal skull bottle and then picked up the second bottle. Inside this classic brown tall bottle was some whisky that much I could tell. The whiskey had more of a wood smell than what I was used to, but I did not want to even look at the others or smell them after the skull bottle I was put off. I quickly made my mind up, and grabbed the brown liquor, and poured shots for Seira and myself before she picked something else. Seira then said to me in a quiet tone once she picked up what I chose, "Interesting," she said.

But before I could reply, she cut me off and said to me in a little kinder tone," Eleven wood-bark whisky good choice."

I could not help but notice Jacosta ran towards the bottles once we opened them after the cork made that noise. She came running over at some seriously fast speeds; it was impressive. I started to see her as some rabid squirrel. With hearts in her eyes, she lept for the bottle I barely managed to scoop away in time. With my bottle in hand, all I could do was watch as she started to begin snatching the other bottles up off the table before running off like an animal in the opposite direction. Jacosta smashed the tops of each of them in the distance, and I watched as she began, pouring a little out on the floor, and then afterwards, she started drinking them. Jacosta had in both her hands the two bottles like a child drinking both. I could not help but feel my eyes widen at the sight of Jacosta drinking that nails polish remover, but it was better for her than for me in that situation. 'Still'

I could not help but begin to think, 'She was seriously an alcoholic.' My vision started to blur with each shot as the night beckoned. I took shot after shot, restlessly keeping up with Seira, and soon I could feel my head also began to get heavy, and as the night continued, it got more serious, and without an end in sight, doomed.

Looking over now at the little Elven girl after our third bottle, she was not doing much better than I was at this point in the night. Seira was hiccuping and falling over on the spot, overacting and being all kinds of weird towards me.

Jacosta was pounding back the alcohol like a champ Seira had bought for the challenge and double lapped us. Although I could see she was handling her liquor very well, it was frightening to behold that Jacosta was a demon in her class. While my head was spinning and the world was turning, I could see Reena and Maria were casually drinking their alcohol while watching Seira and I kill ourselves, drinking back-to-back shots non-stop.

That was when I took notice of Maria looking over at the two of us, as next, I heard her say to both Seira and I, "You know you are both very stubborn. You could both could decide to call it a draw. You guys could..."

Cutting her off by raising my hand, then placing my finger on her lips, my face went bright red. I could feel the heat from the brown booze in my breath as I was barely able to speak, I think I said while making hand gestures standing beside Seira, "Hush, I got this. What? You don't think I can't drink this little elven girl under the table. Look at her; she's yay high like an adorable flat board."

The room began to shift as I started hearing a strange ting noise, and as everything began to slow down, I felt my body falling forward. Next, I could see flying past me was some red liquid with glass shards, and followed was a ringing tinging noise in my ears as Seira bottled me. Then, finally, I hit the table and passed out.

Looking at Azurith get bottled, I started to laugh at him for being so strong he was surprisingly weak-minded, holding my side, pointing at Azurith fall I was having a fantastic night and time. But then, I heard my sister say, "Jacosta, don't laugh at Azurith."

It wasn't until I noticed he was out cold on the table unconscious, I said to my sister, "I feel like every time Azurith drinks, something like this always happens."

I saw Seira standing behind Azurith with an angry look on her face while she panted heavily, looking down at her victim with a glare and a smile on her face. Next, Seira began looking up while her face was still bloodshot red, and she breathed heavily if the lighting was any darker; I swore you'd see her eyes glow. It was terrifying. I could not do anything but stop and stare.

When she caught her breath, she turned now over fast towards Maria Reena and myself, causing us all to jump back a little, placing the broken bottle down, she started saying to Maria, Reena and I, "So what do you see in this guy? How long have you even known him? You guys aren't demon worshippers, right?"

I decided to tell her everything we knew about Azurith as she listened to the story of how we met and the nice things he had done for us afterwards. I started from the beginning. I said to Seira, "Well, you see, we met him about a week ago, on the road dying...after being attacked and well, I went to touch him and then he wouldn't let go of me. So we decided we would help him and bring him back to the city as he looked awful and begged us not to hurt him, which was strange from a Demon. Since then, well, we've been now happily showing him around the city as he asked; I don't know what we see in him, but he is an extraordinary individual who has been kind to us regardless of our race. From what I have gathered so far, he's not like most Demons from the stories. My stepmom told me. Maybe it's because he treats us like normal people we've stuck around."

I could tell after Seira heard how nice Azurith was she felt terrible for misjudging the poor guy. I could tell she was thinking now just how foolish she was being. Now looking at the clock before the bottle she had bottled him with an hour ago roughly, Maria, Reena and I watched as the elvish woman began walking over to the Demon Azurith. First, she reached into a pouch with her hand; then, after she put her hand on his face and felt his forehead brushing aside his hair, he was still passed out with his tongue out on the table.

Every time I would turn to look at him, I could not help but laugh; she then decided to help him reaching inside her bag again. This time in her hand, I noticed she had an item. Seira then proceeded to pull out from her bag some smelling salt. Once she got the weird crystal from her bag, she crushed it up, now running her hands under his nose with the dust. Instantly Azurith started waking up, and once up, Azurith shot up again, speaking as if he had was not knocked cold out. "So Maria, I can...Wait a moment."

Reaching upside my head now as I slowly stood back up, as I came to the back of my head, I felt an area on the back of my head and felt a considerable goosebump that was never there before. The bump I could feel was very tender, meaning it just happened. I noticed glass and liquid on the floor beside me. Retracting my hand back as soon as I felt the tingle, I now started saying to all the girls who looked rather suspicious in nature, "Who the fuck throws a bottle? Honestly, did you see who did it?"

After I spoke, I felt it strange that Reena could not make complete eye contact with me; with a weird look in her eyes, she looked away. It was strange, and I thought, 'perhaps it was the alcohol that was making her act this way?'

Not to mention her body language was off too as she said, "Um, no, the person left...We chased them out!" I could not help but begin turning to Jacosta, who was laughing uncontrollably. I did not bother to ask her "what happened," as she would probably make fun of me. So I turned to the only girl here who wouldn't lie to me, Maria. Looking at Maria, I fixed my hair and put on a puppy dog act on and said, "Maria!!!! You'll tell me the truth, right you love me." As I did what she usually did towards me when she greeted me, I brushed up against her face with my hair. I noticed my horns lifted her hair a bit, and she went flush red. Suddenly Maria pulled me in as she bit on my ear playfully; she then started to say quietly," That's the truth, Azurith."

Now pushing her back, not accepting any of it, she bit her lip and looked at me like she was upset. I then quickly turned around, looking at Seira suspiciously as I even told her, "I guess you win. Name your prize, be reasonable with what you ask..."

Turning her head like that scene from a scary movie, I could only imagine the horrors Seira had in store for me. But then, with that grin on her face, she went on to say, "I told you before triple enchantment with two of the effects enchanted Iceshot and Fireball I don't care for the third."

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

Unable to say no, because of our bet, I told her, looking around the room, "Okay, I'll try to...Do you have scrolls of awakening and a few revisions in your bag or something? I'll do it now and get it over with?"

When I turned back over to look at Seira for her response to my question, I noticed Seira had a weird, strange look on her face. First, she looked at me like I was crazy and then went on to say to me, "I don't know what you mean by that, but let us go to the magic shop and use their stone of enchantment. It is free for anyone who's an enchanter."

Looking at the clock located on the wall and seeing the time, It was almost midnight if time worked here like in my world. I then told Seira, "I don't think they are open. Are you crazy? Why don't we do this tomorrow? I am drunk, and my head hurts."

I could see Seira begin to start looking at the time herself, Seira then faced me again afterwards and agreed, but not before saying to me and the ladies I was with," K, where are we sleeping then tonight like hell ill let you run away from our bet,"

Tonight sleep together? Like hell. Well....No just my luck. Seira would never leave. As every night was the same crap with the other ladies, another one would be too much. So with a glowing smile on my face as kind as possible, I went on to tell her in a soft and gentle voice, "I am sleeping alone, and I don't want anyone.." Now noticing Reena, Jacosta and Maria looked very sad when I said that, I stopped mid-sentence. Now sighing out loud, exhaling, I then started saying after to them all in a dull tone, "Okay, fine, we can all sleep again in the same room. I really would not mind buying you your room, though, Reena, Jacosta and Maria." With them all now saying at the same time," It's okay, we don't mind you'll probably be in the bathroom again!"

Laughing after their comment, I could not help but agree with it sadly. Walking over to the bartender, I paid Jacostas tab owed, and Seira paid hers, the man from before continued to give us weird looks even when we paid the bill for our food and alcohol, and then Maria said goodbye to the man, and we left the pub. Now, as a group, we headed towards the tavern again.

Tonight was an incredible night as we walked, we all stuttered and fell over a few times, but it was a delightful walk; still, under the street lamps light, I was drunk as ever as I felt the breeze pick up and blow my hair I saw leaves blow past us. Isolated, out of sight, and as we walked, the girls talked about the city we were in until we arrived at the tavern. Stepping inside, we made as much noise humanly as possible, knocking things over and falling in the process. We met with the same Elven lady. She was standing up at the front desk, looking over towards us.

The woman looked over the desk now at the other small Elven girl who was now with me. Scanning her head to toe before she then looked back over at me. Like before, with the same look of disgust, I could even see her nose begin to twitch this time, and before I could speak, she started going on and began to mention, "So you have another 'friend'..." Drunk and tired, I decided to own it this time, grabbing Seira by the waist; I could feel her heart pick up and begin to beat faster as I started leaning in and kissed her. Afterwards, I said to the Elven lady at the front desk,

"Damn rights, and when I create a Guild, it will be only full of women, even ones like this that are flat with nice bodies. I will have them all!! I shall be a booty Demon." Right after saying that, I felt a smack across my face as Seira's hand struck me.

Jacosta lost her mind laughing after hearing 'Booty Demon,' Reena stood there wide-eyed; I noticed her mouth wide open in shock as I flayed. Then, I saw her face went red as she pulled me over closer to her and Maria and away from Seira. After what I did, Reena held me close to her to keep me away from Seira.

While Seira stood there, left speechless, walking around in circles, before standing in disbelief of to the side making weird gestures and making noises while spitting. Jacosta standing beside her, started laughing while pointing at her, as I could overhear her saying," This was a perfect end to the night."

With what had just happened to her, even the lady at the front desk could not contain herself as she angrily threw the key at my face and said, "Just go upstairs already, your so damn weird..."

Getting upstairs, we ended up in the same room we previously rented before somehow. I sat down on the same white bed as before, and Reena and Maria joined me while Jacosta looked around the place for more alcohol to drink. I noticed Seira stood there shaking while looking at me. Every time I would try and look at her in the eyes, she would look down or away. I could see she was embarrassed, and so I asked her, "Hey Seira, Is something the matter? Did I get under your skin?"

Stuttering a bit, Seira said, "N-no,"

I answered and replied to Seira now, "Mm-hmm, Right, well Reena, Jacosta, If you guys don't want to compete tomorrow, I'll pay the fine and do the favour for Arthur's guild. I don't want to see you girls get that hurt again. I can't protect you tomorrow; I fear you may get hurt again next time; even worse, I am sorry about earlier today."

Now drunk, I opened up to them a bit and told them about mechanics, as I started to say out of nowhere, "It's just I am not from around here, and I think I got stuck somewhere, and I don't want to drag anyone into my mess while I try and figure this out."

Reena, confused, started to say in a soft voice to me while resting her head on my shoulder. I could smell her hair as she went on and said," Well, of course not your a Demon. You would be from the land of night."

Replying to her, I said, "That's not it; I don't know how else to say it, but." Now feeling sick, I stopped myself from speaking, and next, I covered my mouth, feeling the sudden sick urge to vomit as Reena went on to say to me, "Well, anyway, you should maybe have a bath and try to relax your very upset,"

Thinking now to myself, 'It's a trap...Please do not do it.' But snapping back, It was not as much as I was upset. I just felt honesty was always the best policy when trying to make friends. I turned around and faced Seira and walked past her towards the bathroom, taking my shirt off in the process. Her face lit up at the sight of my tattoos. Ignoring her reaction, she ran around and stood in between me and the door. I shook my head before picking her up and moving her aside and out of the way of the door; as I entered the bathroom alone and closed the door behind me, I could hear Seira run past the door. I walked over and turned on the water. Everything was going smoothly for once.

Now in the water relaxing, It must have been an hour, or even longer that must have passed by, and I was still drunk in hot water still it felt magical, I was hoping this drunk feeling would end soon. When out of nowhere, I heard the door lock handle getting picked. I listened to the noise of metal scratching the lock, and I could not believe this was reoccurring for the third time. Anger and frustration came over me; the water began to boil as a red aura built up, but I decided on giving up, and everything faded. I got up and activated "Night-Walk" While naked, I silently walked towards the towel rack. Putting a towel around my waist, I covered myself, and then I angrily started to creep towards the door to open it. Once there, opening it, I yelled," Surprise! What are you doing?"

Seira fainted when she heard and saw what I had done. With all the noise, Jacosta woke up yelling at us to "Shut up." She then started leaning over; I could see her reaching for something from the corner of my eye, now grabbing one of the many bottles beside her while 'asleep.' Jacosta picked one of the bottles up and then she started to throw them in my direction. She hit me upside the head with pinpoint accuracy, which smashed again like before, causing me to have a flash-back. As I heard a ting noise again, I flashed back to that bottle earlier that night that hit me in the pub. Falling slowly, passing in and out, I tried to get up before slowly starting to faint in and out of consciousness beside Seira. The towel was falling off me in all the commotion. I wanted to pick myself up, even going as far as mentally saying, 'No, not again.'

It was around that time of the mental screaming and the getting up that I accidentally grabbed Seira's chest, using it as a kickstand to get up.

': Now noting' she did indeed have something there, and it was not a flat board, I Azurith made a mental note then and there.:.'

When Seira woke up, she looked furious when she looked up and down and saw me naked while on top of her. Then she saw my hand on her chest and shot up. Now waking up from being scared to death, she began reaching over, trying to find something to help herself up. In the process, Seira proceeded to grab my junk. I could feel the tugs. Now we began looking at each other. It was getting weird, so I went, and I decided to say, breaking the ice like Mr smooth, "Well, I promise not to say anything if you don't."

Looking at where my hand was and where hers was, Seira closed her eyes and agreed. But I could tell she was upset as her skin was going from the usual pale white to bright red before she then tightly began squeezing my nuts in the moments that followed, which nearly killed any chance of future me's. On the floor holding my privates rolling around like a maniac while she then proceeded to try to kick me.

In the process, the noise caused everyone to wake up, and then everyone saw me naked on the floor holding my privates being kicked repetitively by Seira.

Only Jacosta ran over, and for some odd reason which I thought was excellent,' she was going to help. But out of nowhere, Jacosta began to help Seira kick me. Maybe not recognizing me still asleep? In the heat of the moment, Jacosta was yelling," Die robber!!!"

I started crying, but it was in a laughing kind of way as it was too much to handle. Now catching their kicks, I was utterly exposing myself at this time as I yelled out to them,

"Stop it. It is me, Jacosta!"

Jacosta stopped after I shouted, then started looking down, now smiling like that classic villain before saying to me," What were you two up to, hmm?"

Angrily I started responding to them all, "I Don't know what is with you girls trying to sneak into my damn baths then beating me unconscious and who threw that bottle, like honestly who throws a bottle...Wait, it was Jacosta earlier, wasn't it?"

I started picking the towel up that fell, putting it back on around my waist; I was getting upset at how many people kept seeing me in compromising positions. Maria did not mind me naked, nor did Reena, as I could tell from the wide-eyed looks they gave me, shooting wide awake, not stopping for a minute, Maria continued to stare at me like a piece of meat.

But, damn, Jacosta just sat there laughing while saying," That throw was fantastic, wasn't it." After I heard that, I looked over at Jacosta with an evil stare. I saw her run back to the bed and hid beside Reena as she and Seira all went back to bed, I saw Jacosta then close her eyes and rollover, and I guessed she decided to go back to bed. Seira once beside the ladies stripped naked, which I largely ignored at first until I saw her in her underwear and bra. Once Seira was done, she then laid down and slept between the two girls. Maria was the only one awake and alone with me; she now got up and ran over towards me while asking, "Are you alright."

I was, and after I fixed my hair, I told her," Yes, Maria." Then like I usually did, I ran my hands through her hair and played with her ears a bit and said," You're the only one that cares; you are so lovely to me!"

I could see the look in Maria's eye after I did that, and she looked as if she was ready to tackle me to the floor, which was concerning. Maria turned and faced me and said, "You can play with my tail if you like," Now, sitting on the floor, she wrapped her tail around me, allowing me for the first time to feel her soft tail. This feeling reminded me of playing with my cat at home when I felt the girl's ears and tail. I looked into Maria's eyes and said," This is nice. You always let me play with your ears and tails."

Alone in the dark, Maria sat down beside me as we continued to talk. I was very drunk and went on a drunken slur,

"Together, when I am with you girls, all the gloomy days seem to shine a little more brightly."

Smiling Lifting my head, wiping my tears, I looked over and saw a glow in Maria's eyes like a wolf's, "Maria, are you okay?" I asked her but then not saying a word Maria jumped on me, now panting. I was slightly afraid of looking up at Maria as she looked like a wolf. I even asked her, "Are you okay? You don't look so good,"

Now red in the face, she said to me," you are not escaping me tonight," Then, grabbing my ankle, she began dragging me into the bathroom and out of sight, the two of us disappeared, and Maria had her way with me.
