Girl from Mitras ★ A. Arlert

Chapter 38 - I want you to remember

Y/N opened her eyes. Something was causing the light to hurt her eyes. She woke up in an unfamiliar room, in which there was no one but her. She saw her bag on the table, and her belongings were neatly stacked on a chair. She looked at herself - she was wearing her pajamas, which she had brought with her to the mainland. But she didn't remember how she got here.

She got up in bed, and immediately felt a sharp headache and discomfort in her stomach. And then she remembered. «Well, hello, the first hangover in my life, God, why should I have drunk to such an extent that I lose my memory... Well done, Y/N», she looked out the window. The street reminded her of something. «Looks like I'm at Azumabito's house... But I don't remember how I got here... Although... I don't even remember most of the evening... I'm so thirsty»

She decided not to change. She was wearing classic pajamas - a lavender-colored shirt and trousers. She threw on the jacket from her suit and went in search of the bathroom. There were extremely unpleasant sensations in the mouth - dry and disgusting. She'd been drinking before - she and Historia had often sampled some of the royal wines, and Damian had taken her to the bar a couple of times for spirits. But after all that, she wasn't feel as bad as she is now. «It was very cheap alcohol»

After washing herself and putting herself in some semblance of order, she decided to look for someone. The house was quiet, most were still asleep. She went downstairs, looking for a kitchen where she could have a drink. And, of course, the only person awake that early was Levi. He was sitting in the living room drinking tea and reading the newspaper. She paused at the door, waiting for him to notice her. He looked up at her with displeasure.

- Woke up already? How suddenly.

- Good morning to you too.

She landed on the couch next to him.

- Black or green?

- Black.

- Excellent.

She quickly poured herself some tea. It was hot, what she definitely liked. She slowly began to drink it, leaning over and holding the mug with both hands, looking around the room they were in.

- Are you sane now?

- What are you talking about? Of course!

- You're still in your pajamas.

- My pajamas aren't that different from those suits that Onyankopon gave us. By the way... how did I even end up here and... why am I in pajamas?

- So, you don't remember. Convenient.

- C...CONVENIENT? What... what happened, Levi? Answer.

She turned to him, still holding the mug in her hands. He didn't look at her while reading the paper.

- When you all didn't return for a long time, we went to look for you. And we found you in a refugee camp nearby. All of you... were drunk. Mostly inadequate.

- And how did I get here? If everything was so bad, then how...

- You walked by yourself, if you mean it. When we arrived, you were sleeping on one of the couches, apparently a short sleep gave you strength, although you walked with difficulty, periodically holding on to Hange.

- Oh my god, what a shame... Hange must be furious that we all acted like this.

- Rather, they understands that all of you just needed to de-stress. But, I confess, the method isn't the best.

- And... pajamas? Just don't say...

She suddenly remembered all the neatly folded clothes and her face flushed with shame.
