"Ara ara~."
Compared to Aurelia who was turning red in the face, Shuri took the initiative to close the distance between them.
"Such a daring proclamation, Dimori-kun."
"Bah! If I said it, I meant it. Here. Take my coat. I don't want those bastard gods looking at you."
Igor took off his coat, revealing his vigorously trained upper body. For a moment, Shuri was dazed and subconsciously swallowed her saliva. His muscled chest, his chiselled abdomen, his broad shoulders, his veiny arms…it was too exciting!
Gulp…

Domineering, unrestrained, dazzling---this man just continued to tick off her checkboxes. And those dazzling muscles. Kami-sama knew how much she wanted to put her hands on them.
She knew men had a thing for a woman's chest but by the gods did she want to lay her head on his. If it wasn't because she respected Aurelia, she might've just offered him a chance to 'hide' her ravine.
Then again, there'd be plenty of time later for an…unravelling. If he was drunk, then he'd have less inhibitions. Less inhibitions meant greater chances for her to leave a deeper impression.
This was a great chance for to massively chip away the barrier between them. He found her attractive, so there's no doubt he considered her a woman. Now she just needed to make him consider her a possibility.
"Why don't you sit down for now, Dimori-kun? You must be tired after drinking so much."
She took this opportunity to touch his chest and his chiselled back.
[Hard…]
It's like she was touching steel. You could shred iron filings on them.
Gulp…
But she couldn't be distracted right now.
"Please help me, Lia-chan."
It wouldn't be good if she made the first lady angry or jealous. A word from her could rebuild the wall she'd painstakingly dug through for nearly a year.
"Ah? Al-alright…"
Aurelia placed her hand on Igor's shoulder, but his teasing voice uttered a sentence she didn't want him to finish.
"Hehehe~. Why are you so shy, Lia? You're not like that when we're in bed. In fact, you're the very opp--mmph!"
"Q-quiet!"
Aurelia wished the moon could just fall on them. Why did he say that? Especially in front of Shuri? Did he not know how that woman was? She was vile! She was demonic! His actions just gave her six months of teasing material!
"Ara~?"
"..."
Aurelia did not dare remove her hand from Igor's mouth. Who knew what other secrets her now-second favourite blonde would say?
[Why...]
She could only blame herself for not paying attention to him. She'd heard of how unrestrained he was when he was drunk--
"Ah?!"
She reflexively pulled away her hand when she felt his tongue on her palm.
"Don't restrain me, Lia. And I can walk just fine by myself, Shuri. I'm not drunk. You hear me?"
"..."
With how clearly he spoke, if she didn't feel his ki constantly fluctuate, Shuri would believe he wasn't drunk. But right now?
"Can you even fly, Dimori-kun?"
"Hmph! Dare doubt me? Well, watch this."

It turned out, drinking and flying was not advisable. Igor could barely get his feet off the ground when the wine dragged him under. His ki control was FUBAR*. The moment he tried to fly, he drew too much ki, the very same ki that was working hard to suppress the effects of the Monkey Wine.
In his state of sudden unconsciousness, the minutes trickled by the dozen. Soon, two hours passed since Igor was drunk. The wine had been completely flushed out of his body and soul by then.
It just so happened the first person to recover wasn't him, but a very angry Triny.
{Moouuuu! Stupid! Stupid!! Stupid!!! You're a big meanie!}
Monkey Wine had the fortunate advantage of not resulting in any hangovers, but it did leave someone feeling a bit woozy as if they'd woken up from a deep sleep. The last thing anyone wanted after a very good nap was hearing a woman's nagging.
[Quiet down, old hag. Give me some time to boot up. I'll give you a proper spanking when I'm awake.]
{No! No I'm not quieting down!! You know I don't like the dark!!!}
[...]
For a moment, Igor paused. His eyes remained closed, yet he was wide awake. He sent his consciousness into his inner world and found Triny standing in front of him with an expression of grievance.
Tanned skin, black dress, and luscious golden hair---she would definitely become a beauty once she grew up. Now however, tears prickled her eyes and dulled their amber glow.
The nature around her seemed to emulate her sadness. The grass was wilting. The Sun wasn't as bright, and the flowers were dying.
"..."
Again, Igor was brought to silence. He was careless for he'd forgotten one crucial fact. Ever since they'd merged, Triny had never fallen asleep. It wasn't because she was incapable, but because it reminded her of the darkness she'd been trapped in for countless years
Sigh…
He crouched down and brought her into a hug. His selfish actions caused her to relive a deep-rooted trauma. He couldn't even begin to fathom how helpless she must've felt.
"I promise I won't do it again."
He was serious. He might enjoy Monkey Wine, but that was it---enjoyment, not a need.
"..."
Triny remained silent. She knew her fear was pathetic, but she couldn't help it. When she finally knew the light, she never wanted to go back to the darkness, not even for a moment.
Maybe…maybe someday she'd tackle her fear. But not today. She didn't want her world to go dark again. It was…scary.
.

.
Igor once again came back to reality. He'd been with Triny for the past few hours, but it might've been a few minutes or even a few seconds that had passed in the real world.
He still felt a bit terrible, but his mood was remarkably better compared to before and reached new heights when he felt who was next to him.
"Lia?"
"My lord."
He felt her gentle scratches on his scalp. The sensation of her soft fingers was so comfortable he almost fell asleep again.
"Mmmmm…"
He groaned in pleasure. His head was on her creamy supple thighs. She ran her fingers through his hair and her floral scent filled his nose.
He turned his head so he could face her navel. His arms swung around her waist, locking her in place.
"Ah?"
Aurelia was briefly surprised by the sudden movement, but she soon continued scratching his hair…though, there was a new problem.
"Your fingers feel so good, sister."
His head was right against her navel. When he breathed, she felt his breaths right on her nether region. It was much worse when he spoke for the vibrations from the baritone of his voice carried deeply.
[Oh no…]
Her body was reacting…and she couldn't stop it. Wasn't she reacting too quickly? He hadn't even done anything yet she was close to drenching herself.
Her cheeks flushed when she felt her folds moistening. It was like a rollercoaster, except that hollow feeling went down instead of up.
"..."
She wisely chose to keep silent. Shuri was downstairs and should've sensed Igor was awake. If nothing happened, they'd soon be called for lunch. She…she didn't want to seem like a loose woman--
"Hm?"
To Aurelia's subtle dismay, Igor's hum of questioning sent another vibrational attack on her nether. It didn't make sense. It was only a simple hum, but it was like throwing a stone on an already cracked dam.
For a moment, there was silence between them. Igor looked at Shuri before sniffing the air.
*Sniff* *Sniff* *Sniff*
"..."
*Smiles~*
Igor could smell it. A new scent mixed with her natural odour…a very familiar scent. He raised his head with a knowing look, but she didn't meet his eyes. He veered his head so he could capture her gaze, but she looked down and closed her eyes tightly.
"Lia…"
He wouldn't accept that from her. His hand slid between her thighs, his fingers snaking their way to her knob. Her body quivered at the sensation, but she didn't resist. It was only when his finger lightly brushed her entrance did she hastily grab him.
"N-not now…"
"Heh? Really now?"
He smelled her unique scent of arousal and he knew her personality inside and out. This woman of his was very conservative and was embarrassed by anything indecent.
Yet…she herself was more perverted than him.
"Nnn~."
It was a very gentle flick, one that accurately found its target. The tingling sensation compounded by pleasure weakened her grip on his arm. He took that opportunity to gently work his finger over the fabric of her underwear, all while controlling his thumb to turn that knob.
"Ahn~. Igor!"
For a moment, Igor paused. Her half-lidded eyes, her flushed cheeks, her pouting lips---she was so beautiful.
"..."
He could no longer hold himse--
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
"Nii-chan? Mama says lunch is ready."
"...oh."
.
|DxD|
.
Aurelia was losing herself to the feeling of love and lust. His firm hand around her waist and his gentle caresses between her legs was driving her to a new fever pitch. It was only his hand, but she was on the verge of staining her underwear.
It was…embarrassing, but she couldn't stop herself…wouldn't stop herself. When she met those lovely blue eyes of his, she felt her body heat up all over.
She couldn't understand why she became a goey puddle of mush whenever he held her. Her limbs refused to obey her, making her ripe for his taking. It didn't help how there was a certain part of her ready to 'take'.
"Ahn~."
She was brought back to reality when he suddenly caressed her knob. His coarse thumb rubbing over it evoked a very pleasurable sensation, a feeling so good she'd subconsciously moaned.
It was embarrassing, especially when he had that stupid grin of his.
"Igor!"
She wanted to admonish him, but was rendered mute by the intense gaze he suddenly gave her.
"..."
*Flush~*
[W-why is he…?]
His penetrating gaze amplified her shyness. They've known each other for over a decade and have been romantically involved for almost a year, but whenever he looked at her like that, her heart would do a little jump.
There were no lies in those sky-blue eyes. He rarely said it, but he loved her just as much as she did, if not more.
"..."
She leaned clos--
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
"Nii-chan? Mama says lunch is ready."
"...oh."
Igor's response was weak. Akeno's interference was a much-needed breather for Aurelia. When she broke away his gaze, her heart calmed down. In it's place however, a realm of desire and anticipation welled up.
"Igor…"
She wanted him.
"Hm?--"
Chuu~
She wanted him right here and right now.

Explanation: FUBAR mean's F*cked Up Beyond All Reason/Recognition
Moving on, Aurelia is a pervert. We knew it before and it's still a fact to this day. Those smut books she read over the decades and Yasaka's teasing made our little bundle of purity a closet pervert. But she gets a pass because she's cute.
