I naturally joined the drinking party and started drinking a glass or two. Originally, I didn’t like drinking, nor had I ever been to a drinking party. But today, I felt I knew a little bit about why people were drinking like that and having a drinking party.
It was the first time in my life that I drank so much alcohol. I tried to restrain myself because I didn’t know exactly how much Theresa could drink, but I was still fine no matter how much I drank.
“Look, I’m not drunk.”
“Yes, yes.”
“Really… I’m not drunk. Why am I so fine? I guess I’m a good drinker…?”
“It’s already the 49th time you said you weren’t drunk. If you said it one more time, it would be the 50th time.”
“I mean… that’s strange. I’m not drunk at all.”
“Yes. You’ve said it for the 50th time.”

[If you’re a newcomer, shut up and just get used to it.]
“Annoying.”
As I was shaking my head because of the Constellations who kept making noise about sponsorship, I felt something was getting messy around me. As the sun set down, each family came to pick up their young ladies.
“Oh my gosh, Lady! Why did you drink so much when you couldn’t even drink?”
Some young ladies sent out the drunk young ladies one by one with normal faces and ordered the servants to clean up the club room. The drinking party ended like that.
“That’s too bad…”
Let’s just have one more drink. I’m not drunk at all yet.
I felt a familiar loneliness. Being left alone because no one was looking for me was something I have always experienced since childhood.
…I have to go back to the dormitory. Patricia caught up with me as I got up and was about to leave the club room.
“I will take you there, Lady Theresa!”
“It’s okay… I can go alone.”
“Yes? Even when you’re staggering like this?”
“I’m walking straight… I’m alright…”
“But you’re walking sideways right now.”
At that time, a voice that shouldn’t have been heard here resonated heavily in my ears.
“Theresa Squire.”
I checked the person who said it with half-open eyes as I couldn’t feel my strength. “…Father.”
As soon as he appeared, Raul looked around the club room, where the atmosphere was frozen, and faced me. He clicked his tongue and said with a distorted expression. “Follow me.”
* * *
I was sure I had walked straight.
Was the road here so bumpy? When constructing the terrain, I was sure that I laid them out in a straight line.
It wasn’t just the road that was strange. The strangest of all was that Raul was here. Raul didn’t come to Valhalla. That was the setup. But why did he come? He also came to me. And I had no idea.
The moment I tilted my head, Raul, who was leading the way, stopped walking, and he looked back at me fiercely.
“What are you laughing at?”
It seemed like I was laughing like an idiot without even realizing it. However, I felt good. My heart tickled.
Raul scolded me with a more bewildered look. “Did you laugh at this situation?”
“Father, you’re my father now, right…?”
I’m Theresa, and Raul is my father now, right?
“If you’re drunk, just follow me quietly.”
I extended my hand toward him, despite his very displeased tone. “Because you’re my father… Can we walk hand in hand…?”
I also wanted to walk hand in hand with my dad to the house…
I was confused as to whether I had uttered the words out of loud or swallowed them inside. Strangely, neither the road nor Raul stayed still, so I was distracted. Still, I patiently reached for Raul, who kept moving back and forth.
My sincere words and actions, which wouldn’t have been easily done normally, came out without hesitation with the help of alcohol. Raul sighed deeply and turned his back without holding my hand.
Holding hands together… It’s my wish.
While I was muttering quietly, Raul suddenly knelt down on the road. “I will give you a piggyback ride. Because it will take you a long time to get to the dormitory.”
“…Hehe.”
How did he know that my wish was to be piggybacked by my dad?
When I carelessly rode on his back, Raul stood up without difficulty. Even though he was middle-aged, he was as strong as his youthful and strong appearance. Well, Theresa was also good at using her strength.
I laughed and said, “Theresa… looks like Father.”
“You’re talking nonsense. When I was young, I was never like you.”
“No… it’s the same…”
“Go to sleep.”
Somehow Raul’s voice seemed much softer than before. It seemed my laughter permeated into him. Maybe that’s why I had the courage to tell him the secret I had been buried in my heart all my life.
“Father… did you know?”
I had to say something important, but just in time, drowsiness poured in, and my eyes closed. The arms that firmly supported me, the warm warmth, and the body that seemed to sway gently at every step were all like lullabies.
“I always… envious of other kids… when their parents came to pick them up…”
“…”
“I’ve… never did that before…”
“…”
“No one is looking for me… But today Father came…”
One of the numerous thorns embedded deep in my chest slowly pulled out. The lonely memories would have been buried deep in the black subconscious had it not been for something like today.
“That’s why… I feel like I’ve become… a less pitiful person for today…”

“Ugh…”
My eyes were wide open from a sudden headache. There was an uproar in my head. This was definitely a hangover. No matter how much Theresa was a heavy drinker, she couldn’t stand it when all kinds of alcohol were mixed and poured.
“Ugh… If I drink again, I won’t be human.”
I’ve seen countless humans who said this thoughtlessly and no longer became human, but I really meant my words.
In addition, my head was dizzier because the Constellations poured out their sponsorship enough to cover my entire field of view.

[I didn’t know back then… To think my love changed just from one day…]
“…What?”
Hang on. Is there something strange about the sponsorship?
I rubbed my eyes in case I saw something wrong and checked the sponsorship again. However, the sponsored amount still appeared to be 10,000 coins instead of 1,000 coins.
Feeling some kind of premonition, I removed the sponsorship widow and found the system window, which was both a cause and effect.

“I achieved the shortest time again?”
Even the channel’s rating went up. I think I can collect 1 billion coins at this rate, right?
Wish coupon. It would have been a lie if I said I didn’t want the item that would grant anything you wished for.
My dry saliva passed. It started to feel real that all the BJs managed by Ozworld bought the Wish coupon, something that would happen to me in the near future. However, there was a problem.
“I didn’t do anything except drink yesterday. So why did this happen?”
I had no idea why this outcome happened.

[Kyaa, look at this broadcast skyrocketing to major leagues as soon as it starts; it is even unmatched to the blue-chip stock.]
Looking at the reaction, it seemed that the promotion of the channel and entry into the top 100 was quite encouraging.
“How high is the 99th place?”
Ding!
[The Constellation ‘Explanation Bug’ has sponsored 10,000 coins.]
[High; Even if the gold channel has never entered the top 100, so it’s the first time to enter the top 100 as soon as your channel becomes gold;]

[The Constellation ‘Explanation Bug’ has sponsored 10,000 coins.]
[Ah, come to think of it, most of the gold channels managed by Ozworld seem to have set a record of entering the top 100? As expected from Ozworld.]
Even if they said that, I didn’t know how many channels there were and how they coexisted, so I couldn’t get a sense of it. I just felt bad because I felt like I was proving that Ozworld was amazing.
