NovelEnglishI awoke to blinding pain. Seemingly before my mind began to work, I started chanting spells.
“Moderate Heal. Cure Poison. Cure Poison.”
Unfortunately, severe dehydration couldn’t be cured so easily. My headache was still blisteringly painful. That was a really stupid thing I did the night before. I had seriously drunken dangerous levels of alcohol. I was immune to the poison, but immunity didn’t mean the absence of. Therefore, as soon as I dropped my immunity, the alcohol levels in my blood immediately hit me. I had actually cast cure poison on myself once in order to fool the innkeeper.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThinking back on it, that action probably saved my life. The girls might have had to find a priest again had I not diminished the effect of the poison before removing poison immunity. In fact, that only showed how drunk I was that a single cure poison wasn’t sufficient to remove my drunkenness below a level of a blackout. Of course, the lack of having any jobs equipped also probably did it.
I redid my dungeon points which had been reset last night. As soon as I had three jobs equipped again, the increase in my constitution was readily apparent and my headache lightened significantly. Slowly sitting up, I noticed a glass of water on the counter and picked it up, taking a sip. I was just starting to get comfy when a thought suddenly came to me.
“The competition!” I stood ulmost fell back down again. “Ahhh… my head.”
“Master, are you okay?” I glanced to see Celeste there in her small fairy form, flying around like a breeze of air.
“The competition…” I muttered while holding my head.
“The other girls went ahead in master’s stead. The competition only just started, if we can get there before our group is called, we should be fine.”
“Ah! Let’s go!”
I cast cure on myself another time, and immediately set out for the door. I opened the door and stepped into the hall when I met eyes with the maid earlier. She looked down and screamed before spinning around. It was at that point I realized the girls had taken off all of my clothing. Shutting the door again, I quickly got dressed with Celeste’s help. She returned back to her normal-size and allowed me to lean on her shoulder.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen I opened the door again, the maid was giving me an exasperated look, but when she noticed Celeste she immediately abandoned her post and became busy somewhere else. As for me, I hurried my way out of the inn. The innkeeper tried to thank me again, but I just gave a wave.
“We’re going to the competition! Sorry, if you can hold the room.”
“Of course! As long as you like!”
It looked like the mercenaries hadn’t bothered the innkeeper again. Perhaps they were still in the jail cell after being knockout drunk. I hurried my way to the tournament. We quickly ran into crowds and had to push our way through. I could also occasionally hear shouts and roars as the fights continued. It was definitely underway. I felt really anxious. We might have already missed it.
“Master!” I saw Lydia, Terra, and Miki in the crowd and instantly felt a bit better.
“Girls… am I on time?” I asked, still half-stumbling along.
“And for our next fight!” An announcer came over the speaker, causing my ears to ring. “Team Dragonmight versus Team Deek!”
I had so little time! Plus, I realized now that just naming the team after my own name was lame. Dragonmight was definitely a much cooler name.
