The Villainous Me Turned the Losers into Blackened Bosses-Chapter 128 - You Raised Them

—

Isaac knew…

Shuna was completely under the spell of love!

Why would such an independent and cool girl have such a strong romantic side?

Of course, according to her…

—”Hmm… the young master of the Hysterm family, who’s also very interested in dungeons, well-read, and has a great personality. Why wouldn’t I go for him?!”

Alright, he was convinced.

Isaac decided to help her out.

For example…

By adding a bit more alcohol to the drinks.

—”As long as he gets drunk, and I don’t know where he lives, I can just take him back to my hotel!”

—”I won’t do anything! What are you talking about? Just taking him back to my hotel for a nice chat to deepen our relationship.”

—”I respect others. If he’s unwilling, I won’t do anything.”

—

“Alright, alright, the drinks are ready.”

Isaac handed over two glasses of Chaos Alpha. The drink was indeed chaotic, looking like the water used to rinse paintbrushes.

The strong aroma wafted from the glass, so potent that Isaac could smell it clearly even from a distance.

However, the two people waiting seemed to be engrossed in their conversation.

“I see, Little Will, you’re amazing, being able to lead a team through without any external help.”

“…It’s nothing. Look, it’s just a beginner’s task, very simple.”

“No, no, it’s definitely not. For most people, it’s challenging enough that even an S-rank adventurer leading the team might fail.”

Will listened to Shuna and wondered what she had been through recently.

“Maybe many people didn’t do their preliminary research and didn’t know they could stop the green lion from entering its second phase by cutting off its tail bud?”

Shuna thought for a moment.

“I think the problem is that most of these people are… uh… the kind who might get killed by a slime the moment they step into the dungeon?”

Will felt a chill down his spine, recalling some non-existent, never-happened memories.

He quickly grabbed the Chaos Alpha that had just been served and took a sip to calm himself.

But…

What was this?!

Will had barely tasted it with his tongue, and the rich, intense alcohol flavor shot straight to his brain. Though it was just a small sip, it felt like his stomach was burning from the alcohol.

While the original story described this drink as “thick and hard to swallow,” Will admitted he had underestimated it when he ordered it.

However…

As the minty aroma spread from his throat, it reached both his tongue and esophagus, refreshing and dispelling the chaotic alcohol fumes, leaving him feeling completely invigorated.

This original story drink was indeed impressive, Will approved.

Uh-oh.

He had practically recommended this drink to Shuna. As the first drink a man recommends to a woman on a date, was this flavor too unique?!

Would she think less of him because of it?!

Will turned…

And saw Shuna take a big gulp, tightly closing her eyes in what seemed like a mix of first-time drinking awkwardness and discomfort, then—

“Ha—! This is amazing. The rich alcohol flavor just vanished, leaving a refreshing minty taste.”

Shuna opened her eyes, looking like she was thoroughly enjoying the drink.

Will was relieved.

“Hmm… so this is what alcohol tastes like. It’s quite unique and addictive.”

“Hmm? ‘What alcohol tastes like’… Shuna, is this your first time…”

“Hahaha, how could it be? Do I look like someone who’s drinking for the first time?”

Shuna laughed heartily, slapping the table and causing Will’s drink to shake.

Will observed her bold style, dressed like an old adventurer—everyone knew old adventurers loved hanging out in taverns.

And…

To prove her point, Shuna took two or three more big gulps.

She definitely didn’t look like a first-timer!

She must have a great tolerance for alcohol!

It was just his imagination!

“So, back to the topic—Little Will not only cleared the beginner’s task but also led the team as the captain. That’s really impressive.”

Shuna held her glass, unknowingly moving her chair closer, clinking her glass with his on the bar.

“Congratulations. But… I want to hear about your heroic deeds. We can drink and talk, and keep refilling our glasses tonight.”

“Heroic… heroic deeds?”

“For example, hmm… how did you handle the green lion’s charge?”

Shuna took a sip.

“Uh… we have a very strong holy shield-bearer on the team. Remember the Ice Array I mentioned? It’s great for blocking!”

“Then… how did you weaken its health?”

Shuna took a second sip.

“Wood types are weak to fire. Remember the Infernal Meteor? We have a witch who’s really good with it.”

“To stop it from entering the second phase, you have to quickly cut off its tail…”

Shuna took a third sip.

“We have a super agile swordsman, trained in Entark’s Demon Swordsmanship. I think I consulted you about that—super fast!”

Wait.

This Q&A session had Will excited, but as he finished, something felt off.

He suddenly realized…

This made it sound like he, the captain, was just lazing around while his teammates carried him!

It felt like she would laugh at him, realizing that the studious W she had been corresponding with for years was just a freeloader hiding behind his team.

He had tried his best.

Will’s gaze instinctively avoided Shuna’s.

More than the constraints of fate, he felt the limitations of his own “talent.”

He could understand why, when he excelled in math, there were classmates who could only guess their way through.

“Pfft.”

Shuna put down her glass and chuckled.

Then she turned, leaning towards Will. He noticed her face starting to flush with a drunken blush, her eyes slightly glazed.

“You sound like the team’s pet.”

“!?”

It was the first time anyone had called him that.

Thinking about it…

It did seem fitting.

Maybe being the team’s pet wasn’t so bad, considering he had raised them all himself.

Being pampered wasn’t shameful!

“So, all the things you wrote to me about weren’t for training yourself. I wondered why one person could be so skilled in everything.”

She raised her glass, looking wistfully at the remaining Chaos Alpha.

“Yes. As logistics, it’s important to train the whole team. Every member of a team is crucial…”

Will also picked up his glass. The Chaos Alpha was too strong; while Shuna was gulping it down, he could only manage half a glass. The greenish-black drink shimmered under the tavern lights.

“So, Little Will.”

Clink.

Shuna clinked her glass with his.

“Don’t you want to step out from behind the scenes, get on the battlefield yourself, and deliver the most impressive strike?”

After the clink, Shuna looked at Will through his own glass, her eyes slightly narrowed with a seductive gleam.

It seemed like this clink was meant to make Will, who had been avoiding eye contact, look up at her.

She seemed a bit drunk, but her sincerity shone through.

“…I do! But…”

“No problem.”

Shuna suddenly put down her glass, reaching out to squeeze Will’s arm, feeling his muscles.

“See, you’re more muscular than I imagined. You must train a lot, hehe.”
