Chapter 61: Guy's Talk

Finishing up the mug of beer in my hand I slammed it down on the table in front of me. A stupid grin on my face.

As I did this the other guys around me applauded and clapped.

Seeing as I just finished my eighth mug of beer in under an hour.

Currently me and the guys from the familia are out at a bar.

Not the Hostess of Fertility though.

Just a bar that caters to adventurers.

After another successful day in the dungeon we decided to treat ourselves a bit, and since the girls have been going out together and having fun for quite a while now we guys decided it was time we did something similar.

So tonight is guys night.

"Agh, that's good." I said. I then turned toward one of the waitresses. "Ms, another round!" I shouted.

"Coming right up sir." She said. A smile and a small blush on her face as she did so.

Which makes me very flattered.

Too bad for her I've already got the woman I will be with in the future in my sights. I am also in a very committed relationship.

Four months have passed since Ryuu and I became lovers.

Things between us are going great.

Although we are still in that awkward phase of the relationship. More so to do with the fact that Ryuu is an elf, and this is the first ever relationship she's been in.

I don't have those concerns thanks to my past life memories, but for her I understand all the worries and fears she's dealing with.

We talk about them quite often.

Communication is key to any successful relationship after all.

So yeah, although it's going slow and steady I don't mind in the slightest.

A few minutes passed before the waitress returned with another round of beer mugs for us. Placing them down on the table she collected all the empty ones. "Here you are gentleman, please continue to enjoy." She said.

Walking off after she did so.

"Well you heard her guys, let's continue to enjoy!" I shouted.

"Yeah!!" The others shouted in unison with me.

Except for Diluc.

"Yeah, yeah." He mused. "Just don't get so drunk you all pass out. I don't feel like dragging you all home by myself." He told us.

Diluc then took a sip of his drink.

Orange juice.

Turns out Diluc doesn't like alcohol that much. He'll drink a bit if necessary but other than that he stays away from the stuff.

"Lighten up Diluc, this is supposed to be a celebration!" William said. lightly patting Diluc on the back as he did so. A stupid grin on his face as he held a new mug of beer in his hand.

Turns out William is a rowdy drunk.

"I am enjoying myself, thank you." Diluc said. Ignoring William's loud laughter right in his ear as he did so.

Seeing this I smiled, glad that those two get along so well.

The night continued on. As it did so we drank even more, and ate some food as well. Downing mug after mug of beer.

It seems although alcohol isn't filtered out if you have the abnormal resistance developmental ability, your tolerance for the stuff is greatly increased the higher level you are.

I based this on the fact that I've had twenty mugs of beer so far and haven't passed out. Not have any of the others who are drinking alchohol.

Ah, being an adventurer sure has many advantages.

Slamming his mug on the table Ryner looked at me, a grin on his face.

"Hey so Morax, how far have you and Ryuu gone?" He asked me.

As he did so I did a small spit take onto the table.

*Cough Cough*

A minute passed before I stopped coughing and looked my best friend directly in the eye. "What the hell?! Why are you asking me that?!"

"Because I want to." Ryner simpy retorted. "So, how far have you two gone? Did you taste a slice of heaven yet? Climb the stairs to adulthood?" He questioned.

"Ryner, are you drunk?" Rogue asked.

"No!" He shouted. "I'm being serious here. I mean aren't you guys curious as well? No matter how many times we ask these two about their relationship they hardly ever give any details. Doesn't that piss you off a bit?"

"Yeah, it does." Gaul agreed. He then grinned. "So captain, have you made the little elf cry out in pleasure yet?"

When Gaul asked me this I gave him a deadpan stare. "Come on, you would probably know if I had." I said.

Since beast people noses are highly sensitive. They can smell sex literally.

"Not necessarily, there are methods that can be used to fool beast people senses where those kinds of matter are concerned." Ryner said.

He then leaned in closer to me, as did Gaul.

"Come on, stop being so stingy and tell us about your and Ryuu's intimate moments." Ryner said.

"Yeah, just a few details won't hurt right?" Gaul added.

"Tell us, tell us, tell us!!" The two of them started chanting unison. William joining in soon after.

'Dammit!' I thought. Now I know these guys aren't going to drop the matter until I give them something.

However if I did Ryuu will definitely beat me to a pulp, and if I lie to these guys it'll make things ten times worse.

This right here is the most dangerous situation I've ever come across since getting my second life. The dungeon has nothing on this shit.

As the three idiots continued chanting they suddenly stopped when Rogue slammed a fist down on the table, causing all eyes to turn to him.

"Hey, leave Morax alone!" He shouted. "If he doesn't want to talk about his relationship, don't force him to. What happens between him and Ryuu is just that. Between them. It's for no one else to know unless they want them to. So shut up, before I beat you all down into the ground!"

"Ah." I said, a smile on my face.

Rogue, thanks for the save my friend. You truly are wonderful.

"Besides. Hearing just about him and Ryuu will be satisfying now but boring in the long run." Rogue said. "Let's wait until Morax adds more members to his harem. Then we can ask him about the intimate details of his relationship. Wouldn't that be more fun?" Rogue asked, grinning like a devil as he did so.

I changed my mind. Rogue is a betraying bastard!

So for this, he will pay.

As Rogue's grin fell I put a devilish grin on my own face. "Hey Rogue, how are things going between you and Kaguya?" I asked him.

"Huh!?" He slurred. "Like I keep telling you guys, there's nothing going on between me and her. After all even though she looks cute, her personality is horrible. She's uppity, crass, and just plain rude with her words at time. I mean sure, she cares for her friends, and is a strong warrior, and has beautiful eyes, along with cute lips. But just because she has all those things doesn't mean she's my type." Rogue explained to us.

"Oh, so Kaguya isn't the reason you've been smiling with a stupid grin on your face these last few months?" I asked him.

For the past few months Rogue sometimes comes back to the Owl House with a stupid grin on his face, and a certain glow. We've all noticed it but every time we ask him about it he changes the subject.

However this time he won't escape.

"No, she's not." Rogue said.

"Really, even though I saw you two together the other day." Diluc revealed.

As he did so the entire table became deathly silent. All our eyes turning to Rogue who looks like he just swallowed a grape whole.

"Eh, what are you talking about Diluc?" I asked him.

"The other day I went by a park and saw Kaguya and Rogue there." Diluc explained to us. "Since they looked busy I didn't want to disturb them."

"Oh, and what did they look busy doing?" William asked.

"They were on the ground grappling with each other. Kaguya had Rogue in a hold with his face pressed into her breasts." Diluc told us.

As he did so Rogue slowly got up and tried to sneak away.

But before he could Ryner placed a hand on his shoulder and forced him back into his seat.

"Where you going Rogue, don't you have some explaining to do?" Ryner asked.

"It's training!" Rogue shouted. Turning to us as he did so. "We're just training is all! I asked Kaguya a while ago to help me with hand-to-hand combat and swordplay with my katana and she agreed. But we decided to train away from all you guys since we knew this is exactly what would happen!" He quickly explained.

"What, we're just talking is all." I said.

"Then wipe those stupid grins off your faces you bastards!" Rogue yelled at all of us. Even Diluc. "Listen we're not in a relationship. I swear, I really really swear. I mean sure we've had sex, but that was only-"

As soon as Rogue realized what he said all the color drained from his face. He then just stared at us and we stared back at him.

...

...

...

"So, not in a relationship but having sex huh." I mused. "That sounds like you're in some kind of relationship to me. Wouldn't you agree guys?" I asked the others.

"Yes." Ryner said.

"Definitely." Gaul added.

"Absolutely." William added.

"Even if they are just sex friends its still a relationship." Diluc spoke. Taking a sip of his orange juice as he did so.

Hearing our comments Rogue's head slammed onto the table, his mug falling over and spilling the rest of his drink on the floor.

"Well looks like he's out cold." Diluc told us.

The rest of us simply nodded at that.

We then placed Rogue in a comfortable position on his chair and went back to drinking.

The night is still young after all.

But man did it get off to a good start with the juicy detail we just learned.

I can't wait to tease the burgeoning couple with it later on.

It will definitely be glorious.

Glorious I tell you.
