“WAKIZASHI NIIIIIIIGHT!”
“Did both of you have to yell?”
“They’re just excited! This is our first time going out as a group, isn’t it?”
“It’s the first time since I got here, any— Ahh, Kamekichi, don’t eat that…! That’s not good for turtles!”
“Nikkari-san, remember, no drinking.”
“Yes, yes. Watching you all will be enough excitement for me, don’t you worry.”
“…Namazuo, they don’t have any desserts on the menu…”
“What, seriously?! Can you put in a complaint for menu options?”
“Just pick a damn song already.”
[21:47]
“Hey! Hizen-kun hasn’t had a chance to sing yet.”
“No, he has. He’s just avoiding it like a coward.”
“What was that?”
“No fighting!”
“A few drinks, and Namazuo-kun can’t hold back, it seems.”
“No one expects you to be a good singer, Hizen-san, we’re just having fun! No need to be embarrassed.”
“Who said anything about being embarrassed? I just don’t want to.”
“We’ll see after a few drinks.”
[22:03]
“Urashima-kun, please! Put your shirt back on!”
“Show off.”
“Hehe, is it tasty, Kamekichi?”
“Uh, Monoyoshi? I don’t think turtles are supposed to drink that.”
“Hm? But Kamekichi’s not a normal turtle, right…?”
“…I mean, I guess not? Maaaaybe that’s enough for you tonight…”
“Keep your pants on!”
“Perhaps Sengo-san might be a bad influence.”
“Oooh, we should definitely invite him next time!”
“Absolutely not!”
[23:57]
“HI-ZEN! HI-ZEN! HI-ZEN!”
“Go, go, Hizen-kun~!”
“Oh my. Let Kunimune have him for a night and he might become a star in no time.”
“Hold on, has anyone seen Honebami-kun?”
“I believe he left to find the bathroom.”
“Wasn’t that almost an hour ago?”
“Hmm, was it?”
“Nikkari-san, wasn’t it supposed to be your job to keep an eye on everyone?!”
“Honebami-kun is a big boy, he can handle a bathroom trip on his own. Besides, alcohol won’t be enough to take us out.”
“That’s not the point!”
[1:23]
By the end of the night, everyone but Nikkari and Horikawa had clearly passed out. Bottles and cans littered the floor and table, Kamekichi had somehow gotten stuck inside of someone’s cup, and Nikkari now had an album of loving memories on their master’s phone, who was oh so kind enough to let him borrow it just for the occasion. Honebami was thankfully found unharmed, but he had evidently fallen asleep much earlier in the bathroom and had to be dragged out of the stall.
“Are you sure you want to help, Horikawa-kun? I won’t blame you if you don’t.”
“I’m fine…” He didn’t sound very ‘fine’, but the smaller wakizashi still helps to pry Namazuo and Monoyoshi’s snuggling, unconscious bodies off of each other and the couch before throwing them both onto his shoulders. “Besides, there’s no way you’ll be able to do this on your own. It would be faster just to help.”
“Alright, alright,” Nikkari plucks an equally unconscious Kamekichi from his glass prison, and puts the poor little guy in his pocket before copying Horikawa by grabbing Honebami and Urashima. “Let’s move the smaller ones first, then. We can come back for Hizen-kun.”
“Sounds like a good idea. Sorry, Hizen…”
