BXBX NOVEL 234 Chapter 234
Chapter 234- Departure (Part 1)
Two months later.
"Ugh… My head hurts. Dammit." Acht muttered as he opened his heavy eyes and looked hazily at his surroundings. His brain was still in shambles so he couldn\'t remember what happened the day before. Even if he tries to remember, a head-splitting headache stops him in his tracks.
He shook his head a few times to clear his vision a little bit and to also be able to generate some basic thoughts. That seemed to work as his eyes cleared up the next moment and he could finally see where he was.
However, the next second, he regretted seeing that decision with every cell of his being.
"W-What?!" He said as he immediately woke up.
The situation was as follows, Acht was completely naked, and not even his boxers were on. He was sleeping on top of his house with three women sleeping beside him.
Leislet, Scarlett, and even Mia were also completely naked from head to toe with their bodies fully visible in their full glory.
\'What the fuck happened yesterday?!\' He thought as he tapped his head a few times to try and recall the events of the day before.
\'If I can remember correctly, we were having a banquet and….\' He clenched his teeth and his memory finally started working as memories started flooding into his head like a massive tsunami.
**********************
A day prior.
"Acht, Acht!!" Leislet came running to the library as fast as she could. She had left to buy ingredients for their dinner but not even 10 minutes passed and she came back.
"What?"
She took deep gulps of air before she said excitedly.
"The villagers want to make a banquet tonight for you."
"Huh? A banquet?" He muttered confusedly.
"They heard that we are going to leave in a few weeks and so they wanted to make this banquet as a gift before we leave."
Acht nodded his head and replied.
"Well, that sounds like fun."
"For sure!! We will have so much fun. Ok, I am going to get ready." Leislet said and started walking away. However, an arm was extended and grabbed her by the collar.
"Where do you think you are going?"
Leislet\'s face paled considerably.
"T-To get ready." She said with a low almost incoherent voice.
"Get back to work!"
*Smack*
"Ouch!"
*****************
The day passed and the night finally came. Acht, Leislet, Scarlett, and Mia walked together to the middle of the village where many people were sitting, waiting for them patiently. The four wore some good clothes that befitted a banquet.
They weren\'t some high-class dresses and suits but still presentable enough for this event.
"The stars of the show finally came," Sali shouted with a hearty laugh.
"Dad! Don\'t start drinking from now!" Mia shouted when she saw her father already gulping down alcohol as if there was no tomorrow.
"Don\'t worry, my sweet daughter. It\'s time for celebration. Drinking is allowed. HAHAHAH." He ignored his daughter\'s glares and lifted his cup even higher in the air.
Acht smiled and then walked to the middle followed by the other girls.
There was a huge table in the middle that had tens of seats running across the whole table. Foods from all kinds was present. It was a full-blown dinner.
Acht walked to the table and ser.
Everyone walked to the table and sat down around it including Acht. The chief took the main seat and then looked at everyone present.
After that, he stood up and lifted his beer cup in the air, and said.
"Tonight is a great night. We are here to celebrate one of our people, Cero, who is going to leave our village to continue his journey. He came here almost 5 years ago and he quickly became a part of this big family. He is a blessing to this village and a great person through and through. That\'s why, I will have the honor of tossing for this great person. Cheers, lads!!" The chief said with a loud voice.
Everyone lifted their cups too and shouted after him.
"Cheers!"
After that, everyone gulped down their drinks all at the same time.
Acht looked at everyone with a small smile. For the first time in his life, he felt the sensation of being a part of a family. The feeling of belonging to some place where he could call it home.
He had never felt like this before in his life and it somehow pained him even more than he thought. He had never thought about it before since he was thinking of more important stuff that could preserve his life and the life of the people he cherished. But, maybe deep down, inside his heart, he longed for this feeling since he was born.
He then shook his head and picked up his cup too to take a sip.
However, before he could even drink, he looked to his side and saw something weird.
Leislet, who barely took a sip of her drink had a flushed face and she was hiccuping repeatedly.
"Leislet… Are you drunk?" He asked.
"Me… Hiccup… I am totally fine… Hiccup… I am as good as a healthy horse in a field full of orange trees… Wait, not that… A field of apple trees… Or was it bananas."
\'She is totally wasted isn\'t she?\' He thought with a sigh.
She swayed left and right before she rested her head on Acht\'s shoulder and said.
He turned around to look at the others and much to his surprise, Scarlett and even Mia were also as drunk as Leislet. They were swaying left and right.
Acht could only look at the drink and take a sip to make sure of something. Just when his lips touched the liquid a strong wave of drowsiness attacked him like a rushing train.
He touched his head and felt his senses numbing. He tried to bite his tongue to regain his consciousness but by that time it was already late.
"Acht… Drink~~" Leislet said as she grabbed her cup again and drank a huge gulp.
"Yes, Acht. Tonight is a memorable one. Let\'s just get wasted!!" Scarlett shouted as she slammed her wooden cup on the table after a huge gulp of alcohol that made her even drunker.
Then, for the next few hours, all that happened was chaos. People drank, ate, laugh, and even play games. They spent the whole night indulging in all kinds of entertainment.
Acht and the trio were no exception. The boy lost his sense of time and merely finished one cup after the other filled with alcohol. His face was flushed and his eyes were barely open. Then, at some point, he lost consciousness and then woke up in this state.
Back to the present.
"Fuck! What the hell did I do? I can\'t remember the rest of the night!" He cursed under his breath.
