While the three of them drank the golden liquid, snowflakes slowly began to fall from the sky.
After finishing his drink, Senju leaned against the wall and refused to move. Meanwhile, Chito and Yuuri both turned red, their expressions looking very odd.
"Yuuuu!" Chito suddenly shouted excitedly and threw herself into Yuuri's arms.
"What?!" Yuuri exclaimed as she was overwhelmed in the snow by Chito. Then, she heard Chito laughing in her arms. "Chii-chan?"
"Heh heh heh heh," Chito raised her head, and Yuuri noticed her face had turned red. Chito was smiling at her, but she also seemed a little off.
Yuuri looked at Chito with watery eyes and muttered, "Chii-chan's gone mad."
"Hehehe, I didn't expect Chito to be drunk," Senju thought as he watched the scene unfold. The thought came naturally to him, but he didn't feel like moving, so he leaned against the wall and observed the two of them.
The two rolled around in each other's arms, their helmets falling off, and eventually stopped next to Senju. Chito, with a flushed face, leaned on Senju's side, holding Yuuri—whose face was just as red—in her arms.
Chito, inexplicably excited, began laughing as she pulled at Yuuri's face, stretching it wider in a playful manner.
"Hey, hey, Yuu's face—it turns out it's so stretchy! It can be stretched so wide," Chito said, laughing.
"Let me pull it too," Senju chimed in, reaching forward to tug at Yuuri's face. Her face contorted into a strange expression, prompting Senju to laugh. "Hahaha, it's so funny!"
"Is this the magic of the moon," Yuuri was stunned by the two of them, looking at the moon in the sky, and couldn't speak clearly, "Maybe you were right..."
Chito then turned her attention to the bottles that contained the golden liquid. "The moonlight really did melt into that water."
Meanwhile, the two next to her were still pulling Yuuri's face, giggling, "Heh-heh-heh," until Yuuri finally broke her silence.
"Ahh!" Yuuri shouted, raising her hands and standing up from Chito's arms. She then pulled both Chito and Senju to their feet, and the three of them staggered and began dancing clumsily together
"Heh heh heh"(Yuuri) "Fu fu fu"(Chito) "Ha ha ha" (Senju)
The three of them held hands and swayed there, and then slowly turned into a dance.
"Hahaha!" One moment, someone danced solo, the next, all three were pulling each other together.
Every now and then, two would spin each other around. The drunken trio swayed and stumbled as they danced precariously near the edge of the roof.
(T/L: Kinda dangerous, let's just hope Senju got them water bucket skills.)
"Hum hum"
After a while, Senju lay on the ground, watching the other two dance. He felt a strong urge to join in, but all that remained in his mind was the desire to appreciate their movements.
It was as if a melody and emotion were flowing out from the scene.
As the two continued dancing, Senju began humming a tune softly beside them. After a while, the three of them gathered together, gazing at the bright full moon in a shared daze.
"Nee, Yuu, Senju." Chito looked at the moon and suddenly spoke.
"What is it Chii-chan?" "Hmm?"
"One day, let's climb up reeeeally high..." Chito said, almost as if asking herself. She continued, answering her own thought, "From now on, we will keep climbing, and one day, we will go to the moon."
"Okay, the moon—that sounds great," Yuuri said, hugging the still-confused Chito. She gazed at the moon in the sky with a hint of yearning. "What is it like there?"
"Really, the moon... I never thought I'd be there... the moon," Senju became stupid.
Just as the two were lost in their daze, Chito began chewing on Yuuri's hair. It took a moment for Yuuri to notice, and when she did, she looked at Chito in her arms with helplessness.
"Ah! Hey, Chii-chan, stop it! Don't eat my hair!" she said, but her overly gentle tone failed to deter the drunken Chito, who only bit harder.
"Nom... nom... it's delicious," Chito mumbled before finally falling asleep in Yuuri's arms. Yuuri, still holding her, sat there in a daze before eventually dozing off as well.
Meanwhile, Senju, lying nearby, slowly came to his senses. Watching the snowflakes gently fall from the sky, he felt a sudden clarity wash over him.
Glancing toward the gap at the roof's edge, he reflected on the madness of his earlier actions.
His head still felt heavy, but after thinking for a while, Senju remembered the milk. He took out a bucket of it, drank a little, and finally began to feel fully awake.
Looking at the chaotic mess around him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Seeing the two girls sleeping in the snow, Senju grew concerned. He quickly built a netherrack platform on the roof, carefully placed them in the cabin, and then carried both of them inside to the warmth of the house.
After taking off their snow-covered coats, he put them under the covers, and after a while the two of them fell asleep inside.
Seeing that the two of them were asleep, Senju didn't feel sleepy yet. He sat outside, gazing at the somewhat broken ceiling above.
From here, he could see a pillar connected beneath the broken section, but he wasn't sure how many layers there were.
Maybe, one day, it would be like Chito said, and everyone would really go to the moon.
(T/L: Fly me to the moon~ Let me play among the stars~)
After a moment's pause, Senju noticed the two helmets on the ground and suddenly felt a chill. Seeing that the snowflakes were still falling, he decided to return to the cabin, climb into bed, and fall asleep.
Maybe it was because he had stayed up late the night before, but when he woke up, the two next to him were still asleep. He warmed up some milk, preparing to give it to them when they awoke.
"Ahh... My head hurts so much..." Chito groaned, her voice tinged with discomfort as she woke up. Yuuri, still drowsy, looked at Chito with concern. "Are you okay, Chii-chan?"
"Chito is fine," Senju said, approaching with a glass of hot milk. "She just drank too much last night and now has a 'hangover.' The both of you will feel much better if you drink some."
"Hangover?" Yuuri seemed a little puzzled, but she still took the milk, tasted it, felt the temperature, and helped Chito to drink the milk slowly.
*Gulp gulp gulp gulp...*
After drinking the milk, Chito began to feel much better and gradually came to her senses. "What's wrong with me?" she asked, still a bit confused.
"Senju said you had a hangover, that's why you had a headache," Yuuri replied, though she didn't quite understand the connection between the two.
"Chito, you drank too much last night, so your head hurts now." Senju simplified it.
"Ehh~?" Yuuri touched herself with some confusion, as if to find out what was wrong.
"Yuuri is completely fine," Senju gave her another glass of milk, "This time, it's for Yuuri's."
'Yuuri has strong tolerance for beer...' Senju thought.
"Hahaha, let's find more to drink next time!" Yuuri said with a grin, finishing the milk. Chito, who had just woken up, recalled the madness of the previous night and couldn't believe how much they'd done.
She couldn't help but panic a little about the beer, "No, I won't drink it next time I find it."
"Alas~ but it was delicious. Haven't you tasted it too, Chii-chan?"
"Long-winded, no, no, no," Chito quickly responded, shaking her head.
