Side Story 2: Selena and Vigo

 

LAUGHTER from four distinct voices filled the log cabin.

“…Is it really okay to do this?” Yuki asked.

“It’s okay! Totally okay! He won’t remember a thing once he wakes up in the morning anyway,” Selena nonchalantly answered.

“Still... Is it okay to put him in Selena’s clothes? Isn’t this the same as throwing your clothes away?”

“Hmm, if it comes to that I’ll have the prince buy me a new outfit.”

“Ooh, let me in on that too, sweetie. My favorite outfit turned to charcoal during my last experiment,” Rifae interjected.

“Rifae, you deserve roasted clothes after the nightmare of an experiment I had to pick up after,” Est complained.

Only one person in the room wasn’t talking—the dead drunk Vigo.

“Oi, what in Aridol is going on over here?”

“Ew. Don’t show me that area!”

“Yeah! Please don’t stain our pure maiden hearts!”

“You’re no maiden, Selena.”

“Heh, women wear complicated clothing.”

“Hey, are you done yet?”

“Not yet. Selena, do you have any makeup with you?”

“Of course!”

“But is it seriously okay to do this? He won’t die right?” Est asked.

“He’s fine. He’s breathing.”

“He is? Oh, you’re right—ew, he smells! He reeks of alcohol!”

“Forget if he’s breathing or not and help me out here! Don’t make a weak girl do something like this,” Rifae grumbled.

“Who’s weak?”

“Who’s a girl?”

“…Did you two say something?”

“…You’re hearing things.”

“Hey, can I look yet?” Yuki asked.

“You can.”

Selena burst into the loudest laughter yet. “Sweet little Vigo…you’re so cute in a dress! Puahaha!”

This is the story of how Vigo’s weakness to alcohol has gotten him into a lot of trouble for most of his life. Good thing he has great friends looking out for him!
