"Sekke! Sekke! Sekke! Sekke!!"
"Haha! Fell the power of the dark lord!!" said Sekke.
"Kuh- You brat! Don't underestimate your elders!"
Sekke looked at the well-built man in front of him with an excited expression on his face.
The old man as if noticing his gaze looked back at him and glared at the blond boy in front of him.
Currently, at the tavern where Sekke and Anna were dining, a small arm wrestling contest started of nowhere, and seeing that both Anna and Secre were asleep Sekke decided to take part in it as well.
And at the current moment, Sekke who had 4 consecutive wins was now against his 5th opponent.
Both Sekke and the old man gritted their teeth as the old man's hand started to slowly descend.
"You shitty kid!" said the old man as he tried to push Sekke's hand back.
"I am not a kid. I am the DARK LORD!!!" declared Sekke as he used all his strength to push the man's hand and made it touch the table.
""OOOOHHHHHHHH!!!! DARK LORD!!!""
The crowd erupted in excitement as all the drunk people near him shouted out loud as well.
Sekke laughed proudly as the crowd became even more excited, but then suddenly his gaze fell on the table where Anna and Secre were dozing off.
'It's already pretty late. I guess we should be leaving now.' thought Sekke as he pushed through the crowd and put Secre in his pocket before he carried Anna on his back giving her a piggyback ride.
He already paid the tavern owner and just left the building as the others waved him goodbye.
Coming out of the tavern Sekke noticed that most of the stalls around him were already closed signifying how late it was.
"But where should I drop Anna? I don't know where the crimson lions HQ is?" muttered Sekke and then glanced at the drunk girl on his back.
'...Well, no choice then.' thought Sekke.
--------------------
The next morning when Anna woke up she felt a severe headache because of her hangover which made the expressionless lady's face scrunch up in pain.
She then rubbed her eyes and then looked around and was confused by the unfamiliar room she was in.
*sniff**sniff*
"...I reek of alcohol....oh shit! What did I do in front of Sekke-kun?" muttered Anna as she remembered the events from last night.
After calming down for a bit, she came out of her room with a small piece of paper in her hand.
"Room 302," muttered Anna as she knocked on the door.
"..."
But no response came.
"*Knock**Knock*Sekke-kun? Sekke-kun?"
And after a while, the door opened, and a barely awake Sekke came out of the room.
"Oh, Anna*yawn*good morning."
"Good morning." replied Anna.
Soon Sekke started freshening up and got ready. Meanwhile, Anna just waited in Sekke's room and just hoped that she didn't do something horrible or embarrassing in front of Sekke while she was drunk.
Sekke soon came out and told Anna what she did after she got drunk and informed her that he booked the rooms in an inn since he didn't know where her squad's HQ was.
Sighing in relief that she didn't do something too embarrassing Anna thanked Sekke for taking her to the inn.
"No problem"
"Anyway how much should I pay you for the room?" asked Anna as she took out her wallet.
"No need for that, I already settled the bill last night," said Sekke as he shook his head.
"That won't do. I should be the one paying. Not to mention all the trouble you took to carry me here."
"Don't fret about it. It was not a big deal."
"Don't lie Sekke-kun. It must have been troublesome."
"Not at all, so just leave it at that," said Sekke but Anna didn't relent at all.
"Then how about you treat me to a meal on the next date and we settle it with that." said Sekke.
Hearing his words both Anna and Secre widened their eyes in surprise and looked at Sekke.
"...You want to go out with me again?" asked Anna.
'Haah! You want to go on another date with this girl!?!?' thought Secre as she looked at her partner.
Realizing what he just said Sekke said, "Ah, right? If you are not troubled by it do you want to meet sometime again?"
Sekke although was not blushing like a girl but was still embarrassed a bit to ask out a girl. It was something he hadn't done in either of his lives since in his previous life any girl he started to take interest in 'mysteriously disappeared.
Anna's brain short-circuited as she heard what Sekke said. But soon she snapped out of her trance and furiously nodded her head.
"I would love to meet with you sometime again," replied Anna hearing which Sekke smile.
"Alright then."
After that, both of them had their breakfast and left for their respective squad HQ.
--------------------
"...What the hell happened here?!" asked Sekke as he looked around the totally wet common room of his HQ.
"It's Bakasta's fault!" said Noelle as she pointed at the mana less idiot.
"Eh?! No, it wasn't my fault Noelle did it!" complained, Asta.
The two fellow rookies started arguing with each other.
Ignoring the two of them Sekke asked Charmy about what happened here and found out the reason.
Soon Yami came out while yawning and looked around the messy room.
"Huh, what the hell happened here?" asked Yami not really caring about the situation.
"Asta slipped and fell on top of Noelle and touched a few of her no-no zone. She then got embarrassed and squirted water all around the hall....or so Charmy told me," said Sekke as he joined Charmy in her brunch.
"Yes! That's what happened. Although, what does squi-something mean?" asked Asta as he looked confused.
"Wawawawawa how d-d-dare you!" said an embarrassed Noelle.
"Sheesh, get a room to do all these nasty stuff," said Yami as he picked up his newspaper and headed to fight a battle against his mortal enemy.....the toilet.
