Chapter 32: Monster

♣️♠️♦️♥️

"Hellooo my friends!"

Everyone inside the cafeteria looks at Tamara as she shouted while approaching their usual table. Her friends quickly noticed that Amane is following her closely.

"What is he doing here?!" Mary asked.

Tamara puts down the bag of chips she's holding and put her free arm around the village leader's shoulder.

"Everyone, this is Amane. You know, the leader of the village named Village?" she introduced. "Amane, these are your new friends. Itsuki, Nanami, Ryota, Pikachu, and Yumeko!"

"Murasame-sama!" Unexpectedly, Ryota stands up just to bow to Amane. "It is a pleasure to meet you formally!" he said and offers his chair to him.

"Well look at that!" Tamara noticed. "Mah boy Ryota here likes you already!"

"Thank you, Ryota-san," Amane thanked him which makes Ryota's face go bright.

"You're welcome, Murasame-sama!" Ryota gets a spare chair and sits next to him.

"How cute..." Tamara commented in adoration while watching the two boys get awkward with each other. She sits next to Mary.

"Isn't this great?" she asked them. "Our little friend group? Getting bigger day by day?"

"What was that smell?!" Mary asked while sniffing in the air.

"What smell?"

"Something citrus..." She stops sniffing near the girl that's sitting beside her. "That!" She points to the bottle that Tamara is drinking on.

"Oh, this?"

"Yes, that! What the hell is that?!"

"Pornstar Martini."

"W-what?!" Her friends blurted in chorus.

"Pornstar Martini," Tamara repeated. "Don't worry, it's not made up of real pornstars."

"What the hell, Edwards?" Mary yelled at her. "You're drinking a WHOLE alcohol bottle in school now?!"

"Damn, you sound like my fucking probation officer," Tamara complained. "So what's wrong if I'm drinking on school premises? As if the Student Council gives a fuck about it."

"You drinking a single flask of martini every day we can tolerate, but this?! What the hell is wrong with you?! And look at yourself! You look like a mess!"

"Edwards-san, are you okay?" Nanami asked Tamara worriedly.

"Of course I'm okay! Who says I'm not?"

"Edwards-senpai, look at yourself!" Itsuki told her. "Do you even sleep?"

Tamara had been acting like this ever since the gamble with Manyuda happened. Her addiction to alcohol is getting worse every day and it is even affecting her appearance.

"Tammy-san, we're here for you. You can tell us anything. We'll help you," Yumeko reassured her.

"I don't need help!" Tamara shouted and slams her hands on the table. The cafeteria went silent and all eyes turn on her. "I'm sorry, but I'm leaving." She gets her things and storms out of the cafeteria.

"I'm worried. She's bringing a larger alcohol every day," Nanami confided to her friends.

"I'm noticing that too. And look at her eyebags! She looks like a walking zombie now!" Itsuki added.

"What should we do then?" Yumeko asked.

Everyone went silent for a while before Mary speaks up.

"Hey, Amane. You're the Village leader."
