Just after the meal, the transparent liquid contained in the glass came up.
“This is……?”
After being asked, Emirya began to explain the mysterious liquid.
“Although Miss Britney may know, this is the wine that my elder brother developed and made with rice. If you like it, I want to get some warm red wine from you for gifts.”
“Thank you very much, Let's drink it.”
The wine was made with rice produced in South Country (as long as it smelled, it would be thought of Japanese wine). Ryuze looked at it with great interest.
Both Ryuze and Ricardo were already adults. And because I was seen as a social adult, it didn't matter if I drank alcohol.
(Ah, but Ricardo, he can't drink wine…)
I was worried about Ricardo sitting next to me. Lucas did say that Ricardo was not good at drinking.
“Oh, Ricardo…”
In order not to let him drink unwillingly, I wanted to talk with him, but Ricardo quickly finished drinking the liquid in the glass.
(Wait wait, Ricardo!? Is this okay!?)
I looked at his face in a panic, but did not see any particular signs.
(Is Lucas saying that too exaggeratedly?)
Ryuze seemed to like Japanese wine very much and drank it like it was very delicious.
The pedigree of Earl Hakusu's family was very resistant to alcohol.
Grandfather and Ryuze were not drunk at all, and I could drink alcohol normally. Recently, along with Ryuze, I was also trying new wines.
Because it was difficult to respond to new products such as mulled wine and champagne for Ryuze who didn't know the existing things.
However I had never asked Ricardo to try it, so I didn't know if he really got drunk with a small amount of alcohol.
I looked at Ricardo intently, and he seemed to have no change, sitting very usually.
“Hey, Ricardo… are you okay?”
“Well, what?”
Sure enough, it seemed that I thought too much. Ricardo continued to eat as usual.
After that, Ryuze and Emirya left to talk about the wine deal, only me and Ricardo stayed in the room.
We walked out of the dining room and waited for them in another room. This room was also in an oriental style, and the soft carpet was covered with many cushions. It was like the kind of room that you should take off your shoes in advance and sat on the ground. I leaned back against the seat cushion and talked to Ricardo, but I always felt that he was strange, dangling, and a bit sloppy.
“Ricardo, are you okay? … Are you drunk?”
I remembered the words of Lucas.
I sneaked into Ricardo's look. Sure enough, he should not be allowed to drink.
“Well, Ricardo?”
When he heard my call, Ricardo's point of view slowly directed me. Then, a confused smile appeared on his face and he said.
“Of course, no problem.”
At the moment of his outspokenness, Ricardo fell to my side in an unstable posture.
“Uwahh!!”
I didn't hold his sudden impact and my back hit the seat cushion. Then I saw Ricardo's clear green eyes like gemstones.
Facing me being pressed against the ground, Ricardo whispered softly and squinted.
“Britney is so cute."
“Oh ah-!?”
Seeing that he was not as usual, I was confused and stiffened my body.
“So cute, really so cute…”
As he spoke, he stretched his finger and gently brushed my lips.
(Hyaaa~!)
What happened to Ricardo? In the face of his unexpected actions, my heart was beating faster and faster.
Ricardo stared at me with concentration and reached out to my head, slowly approaching me…
(Kyaaa, I can't hold it~!)
…Until here, he suddenly lost consciousness, fell on me and didn't move.
“Un, hey? Ricardo, Ricardo? Ricar-do?”
He didn't respond and seemed to be just drunk.
(It really scared me……)
I made the stopped head start to work, I didn't know what to do.
All in all, move him to the room first.
I thought about it for a moment, and I held him up sideways.
(Hmm. Although he is a bit heavy, but I usually have exercise, so there is no problem.)
It was fortunate to walk a short way to Ricardo's room, so I walked down the hallway, opened the door and put Ricardo on the bed.
Although he lost consciousness, he seemed to fall asleep safely.
(Speaking of this… maybe it was the first time I saw such a sweet Ricardo.
Thinking of his actions when he was drunk, I was so shy that my face was hot.
After I walked out of Ricardo's room, Ryuze stood with a strange look.
“Britney, after I talked with Emirya, I saw you on the way back… But it is better not to tell him that he is hugged in a princess way by you. If he knows, he wouldn't be able to stay calm.”
He casted a sympathetic sight into the room and sighed slightly.
