"Happy birthday, Fili!"

In the lobby on the first floor of the villa, after everyone gave their congratulations, they gathered around to watch Fili blow out the candles on the cake, close her eyes, clasp her hands together and make a wish.

"So this is how birthday ceremonies work." Igula said, "I've learned a lot."

"Hey?" Fili said, "Didn't you celebrate your birthday?"

"We were all raised in foster homes. You can understand that we were born orphans. In our place, birthdays are just ordinary days and are not celebrated deliberately." Igula said, "And to be honest, on the day of birth, prepare a cake and candles corresponding to the age, blow them out in one breath, close your eyes and make a wish... I won't do such a weird ceremony. God knows what will happen."

"But the Undead faction does have a ceremony similar to a birthday, called 'Sacrifice Day'." Harvey said, "On the day when the corpse turns into a Undead, a sacrifice day ceremony is held every other year, and a large number of maggots are stuffed into--"

"Vichy, did you have birthdays in your time?" Ash quickly interrupted Harvey.

"Yes, but how should I put it? We don't celebrate. It's more like a comfort activity." Weishi spread his hands: "We, the Evertwilight Elves, will hold a ceremony together on the last day of every year to feel sad for the passing of another year of our lives. It's hard to understand that you humans would actually celebrate your ageing. "

Rose shook her head: "Because humans are too fragile, easily hurt and easy to die, so every year that passes is worth celebrating."

After that, she unscrewed a bottle of wine with her hand, blew it directly into her mouth, gulped it down with her throat moving continuously, and drank it all in five seconds.

Rose covered her mouth and burped, then leaned the bottle heavily on the table. A faint blush appeared on her face, and she looked around: "Don't you want to drink?"

"The drinking etiquette in the Kingdom of Stars is to drink one bottle at a time?" Ash was shocked.

"No, I want to play that drinking party game!" Fili said quickly, "The one where everyone has fun and drinks together to leave beautiful memories. Drinking like that won't leave any memories!"

"I don't know anything about birthday parties, but I know a lot about cocktail parties." Vichy took out a box: "I'm ready, let's play the undercover game."

"Next, everyone will have a glass of wine. One of the glasses will be an undercover wine. I will add sweet, sour, bitter and spicy flavors. Before we start, I will draw one out as a punishment. Whoever is found to have drunk the undercover wine will be punished."

Igulla asked, “How do others know if they really drank the undercover wine?”

"The person who was pointed at the most must have drunk." Weishi said confidently: "If you drank normal alcohol, why would others suspect you? It takes two to tango!"

Ash questioned, "Will there be punishment for crossing the line? For example, contact with the opposite sex?"

"I also refuse contact with the opposite sex." Rose burped.

"Then all on-site punishments must be carried out by the same sex, okay?" Vichy blinked and distributed wine glasses to everyone. "Okay, the first punishment is... to confess your love to the opposite sex who is not present!"

Ash took a sip of wine and spit it out. He looked up and saw everyone pointing at him. "This is not fair. Apart from me, Fili and Rose, how can anyone else know the opposite sex who is not here? And have a cell phone number?"

Harvey raised his hand: "Barina, keeper of the cemetery."

Igula raised his hand: "Corona, Bertie, Jill, Nora... I met them all at the bar."

Vichy crossed his arms over his chest: "Can't you afford to play? Are you going to destroy Fili's little wish? Master, you are too..."

"Okay!" Ash gritted his teeth and took out his phone, calling the only person of the opposite sex in his address book who was not there: "Niya, are you free now?"

"Um."

"I like you, Niya." He paused: "This is the punishment for the drinking game. Sorry to bother you--"

"Say it again."

"ah?"

"My signal is bad. I can't hear you. Please say it again. Please pronounce your words clearly and speak slowly."

When Ash put his phone down, his entire aura changed.

"The nature of the game has changed, Vichy!" Ash's mouth curled up, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better not let me catch you!"

"My favorite pastime was to soak in a pool of wine and make predictions." Vichy raised his glass and took a sip: "You want to fight me? You still owe me thousands of years... Puff!"

"Have you forgotten that you are now in the body of an ordinary human being?" Ash said with a provocative smile, "Let's go to hell together, Vichy!"

…

"This time the punishment is to have cake slapped on your face!"

While drinking, Harvey's armpits were suddenly tickled, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of wine, and then he was naturally pointed at by everyone. Before he could say anything, a cake was violently smeared on his face, and the strong impact even knocked him to the ground!

The necromancer calmly wiped the cake off his face and looked at Igula who quickly smeared his face. However, Igula changed his seat and sat diagonally opposite Harvey.

"Igula, you are going too far, aren't you?"

Ash was very angry: "Why do you have the right to take the photo? This opportunity should be given to me!"

"No one is more qualified than me." Igula said leisurely.

"Okay, this time the punishment is," Weishi filled everyone's glasses with wine and took out a piece of paper: "Being poured with wine."

When Igula was drinking, his chair suddenly shook violently, causing him to cough twice. He looked down and saw a body quickly moving away from under the table!

When he looked up, he saw everyone pointing at him and a wine bottle flying towards him!

Bang!

The bottle hit Igulla's head accurately, and a mixture of wine and blood flowed down. Harvey said calmly: "Is it okay to pour wine on him?"

"If Igula thinks it's okay, then it's okay." Vichy held back his laughter.

"No problem." Igulla wiped the wine stains on his face, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "How can there be a problem? This is how you should play when drinking, but I won't be polite next time. Harvey, you won't run away halfway through drinking, right?"

"No," Harvey replied. "By the way, I'm going to write some punishments into the box, like hugging my family."

"I want to write too." Igula said coldly, "I always think that bald necromancers are more elegant."

…

"This time, the punishment is to pour wine on your neck and collarbone and make others lick it off!"

Rose coughed violently after drinking the wine. She looked up and saw everyone pointing at her, so she simply poured the wine on herself, "Philip?"

"I...I think..."

“Let me do it!”

Vichy walked over calmly, hugged Rose and licked her, which made Fili blush all the way to her ears, while Ash and the other two looked pale - fortunately they did not suffer this punishment, otherwise it would have become a shadow in their lives. This kind of punishment should be explicitly prohibited by law!

After a full minute, Vichy let Rose go reluctantly and went back to take out a new punishment from the box: "This time the punishment is to hold the candy in your teeth and let others lick it away."

Harvey chose to use his tongue for localized icy heat.

Igula directly used mental miracles to paralyze his own nerves.

Ash pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and thrust it hard into his thigh.

…

…

"I, I can still drink..."

The hall on the first floor of the villa was already a mess. Rose was lying on the carpet holding a strange doll and fell into a fine sleep; Vichy was lying on the table with half of her face soaked in her own vomit; Igulla was drunk on the stairs, obviously trying to go back to the room but failed; Harvey had brought the coffin up from the basement at some point, and he lay down in it and slept together with his family.

Fili got up quietly and moved everyone to a comfortable place to sleep.

She actually lied. She had drunk alcohol as early as last year. Senior sister Leah once brought a box of alcohol back to the dormitory to get her drunk, but it turned out that senior sister Leah was drunk unconscious. From then on, Fili knew that she was very good at drinking.

She moved the drunken Ash to a soft chair and noticed that his pocket was vibrating. She took it out and found that there was an incoming call from his cell phone. The screen showed that it was 'Niya'.

Fili suddenly had a bad idea and answered the phone and said, "Hello, is this Nia?"

"...Where's Ash?"

"He's asleep. He was too tired just now and can't wake up now. What do you want? I can tell him when he wakes up."

"No!"

When she heard the other party hang up the phone angrily, Fili felt both happy that her prank had succeeded and a little uneasy about hurting others.

She looked at the unconscious Ash, sat beside him and whispered softly, "You are not mistaken. After I die, you will also die. I feel much better... I can even say that it is really great."

"You may think I will use this opportunity to ask you something strange." Fili put her legs together and gently rested her head on his shoulder: "But I won't, that would be too humble. We still have time. While saving the world, I will make you fall in love with me... While saving the world, the hero and heroine gradually fall in love. Isn't this plot more interesting than your encounter with Sword Princess? If we fail, we will reunite in hell together. Isn't your adventure with the witch more romantic?"

"My real wish is that you stay forever."

She rubbed her head gently: "But if I say it out loud, I will be a worse person than Sister Vichy."

Fili reached out and picked up the bottle. Since no one was watching, she stopped pretending and blew directly into the bottle. However, due to her posture, she choked on her throat and accidentally splashed the wine on Ash's face.

"Sorry." Fili quickly pulled out a tissue and was about to wipe Ash's face, but she was staring at the wine on his lips. His lips were very soft, and the wine had a strange luster, as if it had become even more delicious.

But she quickly shook her head and wiped the wine off Ash's face.

Then she picked up the bottle and carefully poured the wine into Ash's neck.

"Sword Princess, no, and I don't want to kiss where others have kissed."

Fili sat on Ash's thighs with her legs apart, leaned down, grabbed Ash's shoulders with both hands, and gently buried her head in him, as urgent as a vampire hunting its prey, and as gentle as a kitten drinking milk.

"Itchy." Drunk Ash murmured.
