"Ah, really... It doesn't taste like black wine, but it is definitely wine."
"Hmm, the taste is very subtle, but drinkable, although it is very subtle..."
“I can drink…”
"It's more like ordinary sparkling wine..."
"Brother, do you want to try the juice? It's delicious."
"Really? Let me try it then... Hmm? It tastes just like regular fruit juice, huh?"
"Since my brother has already drunk my juice, it's my turn to drink his in exchange."
“???”
"no--!"
"Ah! Why? Brother, you're so mean! This isn't fair!"
“This is not a question of fairness or injustice…”
“… …”
Looking at the noisy brother and sister, Irene chuckled.
"...What are you laughing at?"
When he turned around, Russell came into view, staring at him.
“Ah wow!”
Irene was so frightened that she almost fell off the stool.
"? Why are you reacting so strongly?"
Russell looked at her in confusion.
After regaining her composure, Irene immediately retorted:
"Who's reacting so strongly? It's just, it's just..."
Looking at the face that still completely occupied her vision, Irene's face gradually turned red.
"only?"
"Just don't get so close--!"
Bang!
She stretched out her right hand and slapped Russell on the forehead, pushing him back hard.
"Oh, stop it, stop it! It's falling! It's going to fall!"
The next moment.
Bang!
Russell fell off the stool and fell to the ground with his limbs spread out.
"Ah..." Irene thought to herself that something was wrong, and quickly pretended nothing had happened, picking up the wine glass and concentrating on drinking.
Snap!
Russell put one hand on the edge of the table and leaned his head back up.
He looked at her angrily.
"Erin, what are you doing?!"
"Hmph," Irene muttered, turning her head to the side. "Who told you to get so close all of a sudden? It's not my fault..."
"Huh? What are you talking about? I was just sitting in my seat normally?"
“… …”
This guy!
Russell gnashed his teeth in anger.
He rubbed his head, put the stool away and sat down again.
Maybe because she felt guilty, Irene didn't dare to look at him at all.
"Really? This is very dangerous. What if I get a head injury?"
Huh...?
"Ah, the wine is all spilled, I really need to order a new one..."
“… …”
Irene turned her head around without knowing when.
She stared blankly at Russell who kept complaining.
"...Aren't you angry?"
"angry?"
Russell was stunned.
After a moment, he scratched his head with a wandering look in his eyes.
"Well, I'm used to it..."
“… …”
A strange silence suddenly fell between the two of them.
Irene silently picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
When the wine glass is put down again.
She buried her head in the wine glass in her hand and said in a very weak voice:
"Sorry, next time, I won't do this again..."
"Ah? Oh..."
For some reason, Russell also became a little restrained when facing Irene at this moment...
"Okay, I'm out of wine, stop making trouble."
"That's outrageous! He actually drank it all in one breath! My brother is bullying me! Wow..."
"Ah! I get it, I get it! I'll order a glass of juice too and share it with you, okay~?"
"No, no, Alice wants to drink, she wants to drink!"
"Hey, why did it become like this..."
