Women drinking has always been a troublesome thing, because usually they don't know their own alcohol tolerance, either they overestimate themselves or underestimate themselves, but generally speaking, they overestimate themselves.
Even though they're all fighters, with bodies far stronger than ordinary people, alcohol isn't something you get drunk from simply based on how much you drink. Most of the time, it's related to mood. If they're in a good mood, they drink more… but if they're in a bad mood, they also drink more.
However, the women in the private room were clearly all in a good mood.
Like Maki, who after hanging onto Aiden's neck for a while, started drinking again. Watching her drink made Aiden's teeth ache, but after finishing, Maki only wiped her mouth and yelled for her little sister to pour her another.
And the already-drunk Chizuru wouldn't refuse… In fact, she was also the type who couldn't stop once she started drinking. In the original storyline, starting from the '96 plot, every time a match ended, she would go drinking to celebrate with the other members of the Women's Fighters Team.
One good thing, though, was that no matter how much they drank, they could at least maintain partial clarity. They wouldn't go wild drunk, and they wouldn't do anything crazy.
But…
That was only in the original storyline. Now things were different.
Whether they were truly drunk or not, who knew? Anyway, after Chizuru finished another cup, she suddenly stood up, walked behind Aiden, wrapped her arms around his neck from behind, pressed her proudly upright chest firmly against his back, stretched her neck forward, and planted a heavy kiss on his cheek, then giggled and returned to her seat.
And this seemed to be the beginning. As soon as Chizuru sat down, Mai Shiranui next to her cupped Aiden's face, about to kiss him too.
Since Chizuru had kissed him, she definitely wouldn't let herself fall behind, and she was preparing to kiss Aiden on the lips directly.
But because Goenico was present, and he didn't want to set a bad example for a child, Aiden could only resist… In the end, he still got kissed on the cheek.
After that came Shermie, Helena, and even Mature and Vice.
By the end, except for Maki, who even when drunk could still maintain a bit of composure in front of outsiders, even Athena and Yuri ran over…
Right now Aiden's face was covered in lip marks, and the scent on him… Or rather, the mix of their perfumes and natural fragrance was so complicated that a rescue dog would be confused for a while.
Scrubbing hard at the lip prints on his face, Aiden muttered, "A bunch of female hooligans."
Mm, female hooligans who only act like this toward him.
After wiping his face clean, Aiden took out his phone and checked the time. It was already 3 p.m.
Meaning, they had been drinking for over three hours.
Even King, who had the best alcohol tolerance, now had drunkenness showing in her eyes.
Seeing that everyone except Goenico was drunk, Aiden began worrying about one thing, how to take them home.
After thinking for a moment, he dialed a number.
"Yumiko, how many maids at the shrine can drive?"
"All of them? That's good."
"Mm, send… send five cars over. I've got a group of drunk women here." As he said this, he counted, fourteen people including himself. Five cars should be enough.
Then he said into the phone, "Yes, your eldest and second miss are drunk too. I'm planning to take them all back to the shrine to rest."
After hanging up, Aiden went out to request a pot of hot tea, poured each person a cup, and waited for Yumiko to arrive.
Not long after, maid Yumiko stepped into the private room. Even though she had mentally prepared herself, she still opened her mouth wide in shock at the sight of a room full of drunk women.
Then she looked at Mai Shiranui, who had her head resting on Aiden's lap, and glared at him angrily. "Sir, couldn't you push her away and let the eldest miss or second miss rest on your lap instead?"
"Uh…"
What could Aiden say? Only that she was certainly a loyal maid.
Although the shrine's maids had all trained in martial arts to some extent, in the end it still fell to Aiden to carry them one by one from their seats to the cars. They wouldn't let anyone else touch them. Even after recognizing the people picking them up as their own maids, the Kagura sisters insisted that Aiden be the one to carry them.
Honestly, this should have been considered a sweet job, but for Aiden, it was basically an opportunity for the women to take advantage of him.
Drunk women have no reservations, every time he picked one up, her hands would naturally loop around his neck or his waist. And every time he loaded one into the car, he had to fix his clothes again, or wipe off another lip mark.
Drunk women absolutely show their true thoughts.
It even made Aiden suspect some of them were pretending, otherwise how were they always so accurate at aiming for his lips?
Fortunately, it was already past 3 p.m., and the restaurant had no other customers. Otherwise, if outsiders saw this, it would definitely make the news.
He didn't even need to imagine the headline, it would for sure include the words "Strongest Harem King."
But Aiden had zero desire to appear in the news…
After sending the last drunk woman into the car, Aiden let out a sigh of relief. He felt this was more exhausting than fighting in a King of Fighters tournament.
Wiping nonexistent sweat from his forehead, he said to Goenico, the only one who hadn't drunk… or rather, the only girl, "Let's get in the last car."
"Mm!"
Goenico nodded obediently, then reached out her little hand toward him.
Then the convoy started moving, heading toward Yata Shrine.
After arriving at the shrine, Aiden once again carried them one by one into the rooms in the shrine office… There were plenty of empty rooms there, enough for everyone.
After finishing all that, he told Goenico to find an empty room on her own to rest, while he went on to take care of the drunken women one at a time.
He walked into a room, closed the door, helped them take off their shoes and clothes, and used a towel to wipe them down, everywhere except what was covered by underwear.
This was definitely an extremely sensual job. If they weren't drunk, Aiden would absolutely have trouble holding himself back.
But Aiden didn't want to touch them while they were drunk. That would be meaningless, there was no mutual cooperation.
However, right when Aiden entered the room where Shermie, Mature, and Vice were, the three women, whose outer clothes he had just removed, sat up at the same time.
Aiden paused. "You weren't drunk?"
"Not just us. Other than Yuri and Athena, the others aren't drunk either." Shermie stood up, her black lace underwear doing nothing to hide her exaggerated figure.
She walked to the door, locked it, then slowly approached Aiden, who was being held down by Mature and Vice, and continued, "But I didn't expect them to be so timid. Since that's the case, we'll just have to set an example for them."
'An example?'
'What kind of example?'
'Is this example supposed to be a good one?'
Aiden thought with some distress, then he remembered something… The walls in the shrine office rooms were actually very badly soundproofed.
