Drunk people talk too much.

I get up and go to the workshop. I want to distract myself from my failure by making the bokken as perfect as possible.

Picking up the wood, I begin to decrease its thickness. Leaving the wood in a perfect cylinder shape, I start working on the handle.

* Ding Dong

"I'm on my way!" I cry to whoever rang the bell.

I place the bokken on the counter and answer the door.

"Good evening, I came to see you work Loseram-kun ~" opening the door I see Shizuka wearing a long-sleeved shirt, jeans and sneakers.

"Welcome, between Shizuka, I already started making bokken." I let her in and close the door.

"Huum ~" she hums as she goes to the workshop.

Entering the workshop I see her looking at the bokken.

"Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed your company yesterday, but why did you decide to see me work?" I ask curiously. In the series she showed nothing about what she is interested in except the medical field.

She tilts her head slightly as if thinking. "Huum ~ I remember that my grandfather was a carpenter too, as a child I was always with him to see him work." she ends by nodding to emphasize her point.

Hearing your reason, I laugh a little. I look at her and say.

"My father was the one who taught me, since I was a child I was interested in the craft." I say as I go back to molding the bokken blade.

We spent two hours in the workshop. Ending for today, we left and went to the living room, we started talking about the day while we both had beer.

It's amazing how it changes after two cans of beers. She started to complain about students who pretended to be sick just to see her, and friend, many students do this because of what I heard from her.

She also doesn't like a lot of teachers, especially Koichi Shido, a manipulative and malicious person to anyone around. Another one she doesn't like is the physical education teacher, Takayama Yasumura, in her words "he is a closet pervert."

She also talked a lot about two of her friends. Kyoko Hayashi, a longtime friend, she is a good-hearted person and is having problems with her ex-boyfriend because of a betrayal, that would be Maeda Teshima, professor of Modern History.

Another friend of hers is Kana Kojima, a new Japanese language teacher. She is a very aggressive person towards everyone but she treats Shizuka very well.

We talked some more until I saw the time.

Since it was almost midnight I decided to take Shizuka home. She can barely get up off the couch and I am quite dizzy from the amount of beer I drank.

* hik * come on Shizuka, I'll leave you at home. "I speak in a slightly drunken voice as I get up.

"Huuuum ... The world is spinning ... h-help me Loseram-kun ~" she speaks with a red face as she raises her arms like a child.

"By god, you * hik * look like a child * hik * ..." I say through sobs.

"Huuh ... take me, I want to sleep ..." she falls on her side on the couch and starts to drool.

*Sigh*

I pick her up in the princess carriage and take her to my room. Slowly, I lay her on the bed and cover her with the blanket. When I start to walk away, I feel her hand hold mine.

"... Come ... lie down ... with me ..." says Shizuka while she sleeps.

I let out a breath, lie down in front of her and she hugs me like a pillow. I hold her with my arms and support her body on my chest.

"Sweet dreams, Shizuka." I kiss her on the forehead and go to sleep.

"Huuh ~" she hummed in her sleep.
