Character Story 2: The First Time Being Brought Back Home


Translated by Arctic Passerine

Yuuki was on a walk through town, when suddenly, he heard a boisterous voice coming from within a nearby restaurant.

Yukari
Ahahaha! I'm still good! One more round!

Yuuki
1. "Look inside the restaurant."

Yukari
Ahaha. Ahahahaha. Ahhh, nothin' hits the shpot more than a drink after work!

Yukari
... Huhhh? Oh, you're that cutie from earlier!

Yukari
Heyyy, this sheat's free! C'mon, sit, sit!

Yukari
Huh? Have I been drinkin'? Ohoho, of course -- what else w'ld I be doin' here? Beer's th' besht! Love it!

Yukari
Eh, whazzat you say, my shirt's comin' loose... Heh heh, don't be such a stickler -- not like it's gonn' kill me.

Yukari
C'mon, c'mon, you have shome, too! Wait, you're underage... Well'n, have some juice! Let'sh drown away all our troublesh!

Yuuki
1. "Do you have a lot of troubles?"

Yukari
Hic... that's...

Yukari
Oooh, that's somethin' I can't get over wit'out drinkin'! 'Cuz lately, around town, all I've been sheein' are couplesh!

Yukari
Meanwhile, when I'm walkin' 'round town, the only guys who ever talk to me 're pickup artists...

Yukari
Even I get lonely shometimes at night, y'know. Even I shtill think about findin' a nice boyfriend, y'know. Even I still dream 'bout findin' myshelf a fairytale prince!

Yukari
But he ain't anywhere! So, all I can do ish drink it away...!

Yuuki
1. Pat her head.

Yukari
Whoa, that'sh warm... You tryin' to cheer me up? Waaah, you're the only guy who'sh ever been nice to me...

Yukari
Who caresh 'bout charm!? Just lemme drink s'much's I want! I wanna drink myshelf un'er the table jusht once, an' get carried home by a nice boy!

Yukari
But! Everytime! They jus' leave me by the roadshide! I wanna be taken home too!

Young Woman
Ah, I'd like one order for take-home.

Yukari
W-W-W-Whaaaa! W-W-W-Who's the one... The one gettin' taken home!?

Shopkeeper
Um... It's this sandwich...

Young Woman
I was just going to eat it at home... Um, who are you...?

Yukari
Huh, wha? I'm... uh, well...

Yukari
Mmmmm, well... G'night...!

Yukari
... Zzz, zzz...

Shopkeeper
Ahh, she drank herself out cold again... Hey, you, are you a friend of hers? Sorry, but could I ask you to bring her home?

Yuuki carried Yukari all the way to her guild house, and let her down on the bed, where she finally woke up.

Yukari
Ummm, this is... my room...? Huh, Yuuki?

Yukari
Did I... drink too much again?

Yukari
A-Ahh... I did... I did it again...

Yukari
I really embarrassed myself in front of you... I thought I'd been coming off as a wonderful, competent, sisterly figure, too...

Yukari
Yuuki, your image of me must've been ruined, right...? Do you hate me now...?

Yuuki
1. "Not at all."

Yukari
Huh...? You're happy to have seen a different, surprising side of me... R-Really? That's a relief...

Yukari
... Ha ha. You really are a kind person, Yuuki. Thank you.

Later.

Yukari
Whew. Today was a disaster. To think that I'd pass out and make him carry me back home.

Yukari
... Eh, wait. Carry me back home? Huh? D-Does that make this the first time I've ever been carried back home...?

Yukari
The first time... being taken home! Wawawawa!

Flush with embarrassment, Yukari rolled about on top of the bed.
