章 321: Chapter 320: Surrounded, Yet Alone*

Approaching the partying, dancing Arese, I smiled as I located Eyoli and Valaka, the two grinning like idiots as they chatted near the bonfire, both dancing to the beat of a drum.

Multiple drums, actually.

The scent of grilling meats and sweet alcohol covered the woodsmoke that filled the clearing, and that burn as you breathed only added to the ambience the enthusiastic Arese had created.

Walking over to Eyoli and Valaka, I smiled at them as I danced besides them; if they were of paler complexions, I would definitely be able to see an alcoholic blush creeping over their cheeks right about now.

"Ah~ Katherine~! Did'ya sleep good~?"

Eyoli's cheerful voice was amplified under her intoxication, and I chuckled as she grinned widely at me.

"I didn't mean to sleep that long, but yes, it was quite refreshing~!"

"Good~! Good~! You'll need that energy for tonight~!"
