Hero From The Dark Dimension
Chaper 79: After Party

At 06:00

After an endorsement party on a long night....

"Hmmm.., hooaammmm..."

Slowly Darius opened his eyes that felt so heavy, he was lying on his bed in a mess with pillows and bolsters scattered everywhere and a white blanket covered half his body .

He slept too late last night until it was difficult to get up early, plus today he had to practice and explore the Casteral Mansion to find information.

"It's morning, I have to shower and practice."

Slowly he got down from the bed, his intention to get stopped after realizing something was behind his blanket. Darius pulled his sleeping blanket and found a girl with glasses lying soundly, suddenly he was shocked to almost slip.

"HEY?!  A.... WHWHAT? A WANNA? SINCE WHEN?"

Darius checked all over her body, she was still wearing full clothes with nothing lacking as well as the woman.

"I don't think anything happened last night, hopefully," said Darius with a sense of anxiety.

Not long after, the girl who was on her bed woke up a blinding sunlight. Slowly the girl rubbed her eyes and turned towards Darius, she innocently said....

"Good morning."

"Ttttt...., wait a minute, who are you? why are you here?" ask nervous Darius.

"Didn't you remember? I'm Chloe, last night we had a good chat at the party" she replied.

"really? I don't remember, then why are you here?" ask Darius again.

"i brought you here last night, you were so drunk that I had to take you back to the room" Chloe explained.

"really? ergh...!  ouch! the head feels heavy."

Darius can't remember anything, and Chloe finally explains what happened last night.

At last night's party...

When Darius after talking to Raven, many Hunt members approached him to get acquainted and one of them was Chloe.

As a new member, of course he became the center of attention. So many questions rained on her, especially from the Hunt women who were attracted to her physical form.

Raven is worried because she can't trust the Hunt yet, but Darius gives her a gesture saying he'll be okay.

"Hey new boy, how old are you?"

"Do you also master magic? I heard you are a sword wielder?''

"Your body is big too, what supplements are you taking?''

"This horn, what race are you from? the dragon? a minotaurus?"

The questions that were thrown more and more until it was difficult to answer, in the middle of the situation Caroline appeared and diffused the nuances that were so noisy.

"You ask one by one, this storm will only make him confused," said Carol, who made them bow still.

"I'm sorry for their behavior, they're overzealous" Carol said.

"Didn't they hate sword knights like me, why now would they want to get along with me?" inner Darius.

"Ehmm..., can you guys give us some space? there's something important we need to talk about" Carol said, as the Hunt's line up with Darius dispersed, leaving them both.

Carol was sitting next to Darius, a dark dress she was wearing that caught Darius' attention for a while.

"If it's not wrong, your name's Caroline, isn't it? you haven't recovered yet, shouldn't you rest" said Darius, sensing Carol's aura of strength that was so weak.

"I came to this party just to chat with you, you could say this is how I greet new members, I also want to express my gratitude because of your blessing me, you said, friends and the Queen can survive the monster's rampage" Carol replies.

"And also, thank you for saving my best friend Mara, you saved her from her carelessness even though she tried to harm you before" Carol continued.

"Sama-sama, it is not the first time for me, '' said Darius.

Carol poured the wine into Darius' empty glass, as Darius was now part of Hunt. Carol tries to familiarize herself with this new member, although Carol is no different from the girls who previously surrounded Darius.

The two of them chatted while enjoying the wine and dishes provided, so far Carol felt quite comfortable chatting with the new man in front of her. Gradually their chat further away, carol told her experience during her stay at Casterak Mansion and what facilities are available in it, information that is quite useful for Darius to explore this large mansion.

"I didn't think at all that the man, wanted by the Queen, was now part of this nobility" Carol said.

"Sometimes the truth is hard to believe" said Darius.

"You know? to be honest, I've been curious about you since the first time we met, you were in conflict with that fool Holmus and you weren't at all daunted by Holmus carrying Hunt's name on his own selfishness, moreover, you also clean hard claiming to be Hunt even though you are holding a sword in your hand, it's a bit silly in my opinion," said Carol.

"When the first to carry Hunt's name soar was me and my sword, I could not wait to find the cause of this history," said Darius, feeling a little annoyed.

Carol continued her words....

"Your actions back then were stupid and ridiculous, but I don't know why..."

Carol paused her talk for a moment and looked at Darius.

"..... For some reason I felt your words at that time, there was not the slightest lie in it, especially when looking at the gaze of your eyes that were so sure and undaunted, I doubted myself when I considered you a liar," carol clearly smiled sweetly.

Darius's face flushed, he turned to hide the hue of his cheek, not the first time he saw a smiling woman but Carol looked different.

"Why am I blushing like this? come on, I can't look at my great-grandson like this."

It makes him feel wrong.

"I think I've had too much to drink."

Carol stepped up from her seat.

"I'm going to get back to rest, by the way it turns out you can be a cool chatting friend, I really enjoy it," Carol said with a small laugh.

"To be honest I'm more shy than you think" Darius replied.

"Ahahaha.., you're so funny, see you later, don't drink too much."

This is how their argument ended, Carol waved her hand and walked away.

Leaving behind Darius whose cheek hue had not disappeared, yet,.

"Huh..., that girl, could it be that I could convince her? I better focus on my investigation first."

The night is getting late, the party with music is getting noisy as well as the people who participate in it. A bottle of wine that was still fully filled floated towards darius who was sitting, Darius' right-hand instinct reflex immediately caught the bottle without having to turn first.

Darius looked in the direction where the bottle was thrown, and saw a tuxedoed young man waving at him.

"Hey new boy, come here...! let's have a wine fight, the loser has to jump into the pool...!" the young man's words were followed by a loud applause.

"Compared? interesting."

"Darius, I've heard a lot about you, my name is Aufred, I'm both a plant sorcerer and the best brewer here."

"It's nice to meet you."

They seemed to get along even though they had just met for the first time. Aufred so cheap smile and friendly speech to make comfortable people who are near him.

"You must have drunk it earlier, it's one of my best, what do you think?"

Aufred pointed to the wine that Darius was holding.

"It's good, I'm sure it could have been even better" Darius replied.

"Ahahaha.., I will work on it, since it's your welcoming party then I invite you to this challenge."

Aufred clapped his hands a few times, then came a few servants who brought 5 large boxes each containing 30 bottles of wine made by Aufred size 1.5 liters.

"The rules are simple, which consumes the most wine and can last longer then he is the winner" said Aufred confidently.

"Easy enough, let's start" said Darius.

"You look excited, let's get started."

Aufred and the people who had come to watch started counting down.

"5...., 4...., 3...., 2..., 1....!"

The game started, 20 minutes later.....

Darius won the match because Aufred fell after drinking 10 bottles, while Darius managed to spend 140 bottles.

The audience there was not exhausted by what they saw, many of them who immortalized it with their respective phones.

"Is there a challenger again?" darius asked very boldly.

"I...!"

Cientry who had come out of nowhere suddenly appeared before Darius.

"Do I know you, miss?" ask Darius.

"I'm Cientry and soon you'll know me" he replied haughtily.

The audience who witnessed Mersa was very excited, so far Cientry is known to be very tough in terms of drinking like this.

He had once conquered many people in a wine drinking match even the Queen herself was not as strong as him if in this case, it would be interesting if people seemed to be competing against Darius.

"Bring some more wine here, quick...!" cientry's orders.

Soon the servants returned to bring 5 more large boxes of wine, this time the wine they brought was much harder.

"If you lose, be my slave for a month" said haughty Cien.

"Well, if I win then you have to help me in everything" Darius replied.

The match began...

After 2 hours, the match ended with Darius as the winner.

Cientry fell on his 30th bottle.

"Damn...., how could it be? (ngueg..!)"

Cientry felt like he wanted to vomit because he drank too much, the servants immediately took him away. Everyone recorded Cientry's defeat to Darius, they were all stunned by it.

"Is there any more?" ask Darius for the umpteenth time.

The challengers arrived, this match continued until midnight and ended with the loss of 25 challengers including Aufred and Cien.

Darius fell asleep because he drank too much, with his head lying on the bar table.

Chloe who was there took the initiative to bring Darius back to his room, he tried hard to carry the heavy body of Darius alone.

No one helped him because everyone was too focused on the party,

"Ugh.., it's heavy, '" complains Chloe.

With considerable effort, he finally managed to bring Darius back to the room.

"It hurts my shoulder, a little bit more"

Chloe tried to lay Darius on the bed, but....

"YESY...!!!"

He slipped and collapsed with Darius on the bed, which eventually caused his legs to be crushed by Darius' heavy body.

"It's my leg."

Chloe tried to pull her downed leg.

"From thereup...!"

There was no response, Darius was fast asleep.

He also shouted for help but the noise of music made his screams inaudible, he tried his hardest until finally he could no longer.

Most of his energy was exhausted to bring Darius back into the room, after being trapped for a long time Chloe was tired and sleepy. He finally decided to sleep with his legs pinched.

That's what happened last night.

Morning at 06:00....

Darius recalls after hearing Chloe's explanation.

"Good pardon me, it's a shame" asked Darius very, very.

"Ehehe..., no problem, it has become a natural thing drunk people when partying."

Chloe's face flushed red while scratching her head that was not itchy.

"I was too careless to hold back, I even went to bed with a girl I didn't know.''

Darius patted his forehead inexhaustible with his behavior, a moment later he remembered raven and the others.

"Oh... Yeah, where did Raven go? commander Deri and Seirus as well, I need to find them immediately."

Seriate....
