Right...

Although I wrote we drank to our heart's content, we didn't drink water.

Remember I said he went to pack things up before he returned with us from the winery?

Yeah... He made us drink wine.

It's not as if I dislike it or anything but...

"Nya~~~"

"Nya~~~"

"Fufufu~~~ My cute little Charlotte's drunken face is so cyute~~~"

The cat and its owner are now already drunk after drinking a few glasses of wine. Right now, Charlotte is walking on all fours and is cuddling with the cat. The cat, apparently also drunk, didn't resist Charlotte at all and even started to play with her... Is this really the right thing a father should do?

"Uh... Mr Richardson...?"

"Ah! What is it, Yuuji-kun? Did you not have enough wine?"

I knew that if one of us is to get drunk, the other person must absolutely stay sober, thus, I decided to refrain from drinking and just kept on watching the situation unfold in front of my eyes.

"Get to the point. Why did you even have to make Charlotte drunk?"

As soon as my sentence ended, Charlotte's father stopped his comical acts and had a sharp glint in his eyes instead. The air around him converted from one which a comical person makes to one that a refined expert had within a matter of seconds.

"Ho~ You sure are sharp, Yuuji-kun."

"So, what is it that you want to talk about?"

"Hm... Since talking here wouldn't be quite convenient, how about we change places?"

He then led me into a nearby room. There is literally nothing inside of this room, not even a chair or a bed. It's just an empty white room with a small ventilation hole.

"So?"

"Did you think that I would hand over my daughter that easily?"

"Of course not."

Ah... So this is where he is getting at. I mean, there is absolutely no way that a doting father would let go of his daughter easily, right?

"What do you want?"

"Hoho~ I like that straightforwardness of yours, Yuuji-kun! It seemed that you've gotten a lot livelier since we've met last time, eh?"

The glint in his eyes suddenly turned from a refined one to a violent one.

"However... If you do not possess the strength to protect my daughter, I shall not hand her over to you."

"Heh? So you want to spar with me then?"

"ARE YOU F****** KIDDING ME? Ah... Pardon my rudeness..."

Wait...

Why did he suddenly start cussing?

"Uh... I thought you wanted to spar with me?"

"No! Are you crazy, kid?!?! Only a monster would ever want o spar with you? Don't you know? Your sister is the 16th strongest swordsman in the world! And I've heard that you've won a match against her when she ran away from home, right? So who in their right mind would ever fight with you, kid?"

Uh...

Since when did Mio become the 16th strongest swordsman in the world...?

It seems that we will need to have some serious talk after this...

While I was still thinking of how I should extort information from Mio, Mr Richardson interrupted my train of thought by calling my name.

"Uh... You there, Yuuji-kun?"

"Ah... yes..."

"So..."

"I'm back to my senses already. Please continue, Mr Richardson."

Regaining my composure, I straigtened up my back and looked at him straight in the eyes.

"Heh, you've got some spirit in you, boy!"

"Of course!"

With full confidence, I answered him back in a challenging tone of voice.

"Well... You'll definitely lose this game, kid!"

"*Gulp*"

Awaiting what game he will choose, I unconsciously gulped.

"It's chess!"

"Huh?"

Isn't this... a little too simple?

************

"Nee, Mio. How did you know Yuuji is in Korat anyway?"

"Fufufu~ I just 'persuaded' Charlotte to tell me their current location, that's all."

"NIce work, Mio!"

"Thank you, Nee-sama!"

Compared to a few months ago, their relationship right now is as close as it could be. From an outsider's perspective, they really look like a genuine pair of sisters!

"So... where are they right now, Mio?"

"Let me see... They're currently staying in a house near the local winery, Nee-sama."

"How far is it from here?"

"We should be able to reach there before midnight if we hurry."

"Let's go then, Mio!"

"Un!"

They both grabbed a taxi nearby and went straight to the place where Yuuji is...

"Fufufu... Yuuji... If you did something to Charlotte... I will definitely kill you and die after you... Fufufufu..."

Although the taxi driver does not understand what the older sister just said, a frozen chill ran down his spine...
