Chapter 111

In the midst of our drunken revelry, Nikolaos, Vasileios, and Michalis questioned why I seemed to be the only one garnering attention from the opposite sex.

Being in their company for the past couple of hours, their curiosity got the better of them.

"Hic, Hic, Draco nii, why are you the only one so popular?" Nikolaos slurred, clearly under the influence.

"Yeah, why does he have all the girls and we are still struggling?" Vasileios chimed in, supporting Nikolaos.

"Maybe because I am just that handsome," I playfully bragged, shooting a mischievous glance at my brothers.

Just then, Michalis interrupted the conversation, returning with more food and drink. Despite his intoxicated state, he managed to navigate the kitchen successfully, bringing everything back intact.

"What are you guys talking about?" Michalis asked, slightly inebriated but still coherent.

Nikolaos, still struggling to form his words, responded, "Hey, listen, Draco nii said that it's because he is handsome that all the girls like him."

"That means I have the highest chance since I am more handsome than both of you. Mum said so," Nikolaos added, his words slurred and barely intelligible.

"Keep kidding yourself, she said that to me too," Vasileios interjected, joining in on the banter.

"Hey, me too," Michalis chimed in, further emphasizing the absurdity of their claims.

A brief silence enveloped them as their minds worked sluggishly to reach a conclusion. Finally, Nikolaos spoke, breaking the silence, "I guess all three of us are just that handsome."

Laughter erupted simultaneously from all of them, while I was stuck playing along with their drunken nonsense. "Cheers to the handsome boys!" I exclaimed, raising my glass to toast their ridiculous claims.

"Cheers!" they all returned, joining me in the toast. As they continued drinking and engaging in mindless chatter, I couldn't help but feel a sense of amusement at their intoxicated state.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get drunk easily and partake in the revelry, but it did afford me the ability to remember these funny moments.

I took charge of grilling the raw meat that Michalis had brought, while my brothers drank and continued their nonsensical conversations.

The faint sound of the girls' voices drifted in from the living room, but I chose to tune out their discussions. Bahamut, always one to express herself with vulgarity, was likely making inappropriate comments about our activities.

"I hope they can all wake up in the morning with all this drinking," I thought to myself, focusing on my task at hand.

As more time passed, my brothers gradually succumbed to sleep, leaving me as the sole awake occupant, burdened with the task of cleaning up.

"Sigh, I should have gone to bed earlier," I muttered under my breath, not one to tolerate a messy home. Determined to restore order, I began the arduous process of tidying up.

After a while, I meticulously carried each of my brothers to their respective rooms, ensuring they were comfortable as I changed their soiled clothes. With that responsibility completed, I turned my attention to the living room.

Upon entering the chaotic scene, I couldn't help but let out an exasperated sigh. The room was an absolute mess, with everyone sprawled on the floor, now only in their underwear.

While Bahamut, Kaguya, and Lyra's lack of modesty didn't surprise me, I couldn't understand why my sisters, Alise and Lili, were in a similar state.

"What a mess," I mused to myself as I began the arduous task of cleaning up. Once the room was restored to some semblance of order, I diligently made sure that all the doors and windows were secured, sealing off any potential mishaps.

I then proceeded to dress and carry my sisters to their respective rooms, starting with them, as it should have been the second easiest task on my list.

However, due to their growing independence and physical maturity, it proved to be more challenging than anticipated.

Nonetheless, I remained true to my gentlemanly nature and carefully carried them to their rooms without doing anything inappropriate.

Bahamut and Lili were the next ones on my list, and thankfully, they were the easiest to handle. Although, I couldn't help but wonder how Lili managed to get drunk on juice. It was quite a wonder to me. As for Bahamut, she clung onto my shirt tightly and refused to let go as I reached her room.

It took a while of struggling to dress her up, but eventually, she released her grip and clung onto her pillow instead, giving me some much-needed freedom.

Now, I was left with the task of tending to Lyra, Alise, and Kaguya, our guest. Fortunately, there were plenty of vacant rooms downstairs, so finding accommodation for them wasn't an issue.

The real challenge was dressing them up since they were currently in their underwear. I pondered to myself, 'The weather may be hot, but seriously...'

I started with Alise and found some sleepwear in the guest room closet to dress her up before tucking her into bed. Luckily, everything went smoothly without any mishaps, which was a relief. Next, it was Lyra's turn.

At first glance, she seemed easy to handle as she was a pallum, but she turned out to be quite feisty even in her sleep. Thankfully, my recent level-up made it easier for me to subdue her.

However, something odd happened – she stopped fighting back after catching a whiff of my scent. I could come up with several theories as to why, but now wasn't the time to delve into that.

Finally, I approached Kaguya. Given her background, being from a clan of assassins, I was concerned that she might react aggressively if I handled her recklessly.

However, to my surprise, dressing her up went smoothly without any issues. I managed to get her ready for bed and avoid any potential outbursts.

I couldn't help but be subtly aware that both Lyra and Kaguya had feelings for me, but I wasn't sure if it was love or something else. Time would surely reveal the truth.

With my tasks finally completed, it was time for me to retire to bed. Fortunately, Bahamut was already asleep and intoxicated, so there were no sex tonight.

That was a good thing because missing Denatus would be a great loss, considering how our intimate activities tended to consume an absurd amount of time. Entering my room, I closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep.

The next morning, I yawned and groggily woke up. Being the first one awake, I headed downstairs to take a bath.

After refreshing myself and changing into clean clothes, I made my way to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for everyone. I knew they would be waking up late today.

As I busied myself with cooking, a thought crossed my mind. 'Come to think of it, I really need to sort out those chests in the vault,' I mused.

Quickly finishing my own breakfast, I left portions for all my familia members and our guests, leaving a note on the table to let them know.

Time was ticking, and I needed to get new armor and a bigger dungeon bag to accommodate my new size before embarking on my dungeon dive.

"I should go see Tsubaki this morning and Hephaestus after I'm done diving," I muttered, reminding myself of the errands I had planned before leaving the manor.

I slung my old dungeon bag over my shoulder, filled with potions, and stepped outside.

Just as I was about to leave, I remembered that Eleni had requested me to visit her workshop. However, considering the time and knowing she would be asleep for most of the day, I decided it could be done tomorrow.

Making my way towards Tsubaki's workshop, I couldn't help but wonder how she would react to seeing my new form.
