Video Games: Starting From Resident Evil

Chapter 414 - 415: The Bet

After carrying Iori Yagami and following Yagami Tsukihime into the living room, Aiden asked the red-haired girl, "Where's your brother's bedroom?"

"Just throw him on the sofa," the red-haired girl said, nodding toward it with her chin.

"That's not very good, is it?" Aiden glanced at the sofa. A sofa that could only seat two people was really a bit small for someone as big as Iori, lying on it definitely wouldn't be comfortable… even though a drunk person wouldn't feel it.

And besides…

"If I throw him on the sofa, where am I supposed to sit?" Aiden continued.

"Where would you sit? Wait, are you planning to stay and sit for a while?" Yagami Tsukihime crossed her arms and looked at Aiden with an annoyed expression. "Aren't you going back?"

Aiden shrugged. "No rush… I worked so hard to bring your brother home. As his little sister, the least you could do is pour me a cup of tea, right? Haven't the elders in your Yagami family taught you how to treat guests?"

Yagami Tsukihime, "..."

After a moment, the red-haired girl let out a soft snort and said, "Of course I know how to treat guests. But there's no tea, we don't have that habit. The house only has beer and soda."

That made Aiden freeze for a moment.

'Using beer and soda to entertain guests…'

'Your Yagami family really is the odd one out among the Three Sacred Treasures clans!'

"Then soda it is. Hopefully you have my favorite, Pepsi," Aiden said. "But before that, I need to put him down first. Carrying him the whole time isn't really workable."

"You can just throw him on the floor," the red-haired girl rolled her eyes, then continued, "Go upstairs, turn left, the first room is his bedroom."

"Alright."

After saying that, Aiden carried Iori upstairs.

But when Aiden returned to the living room on the first floor, he saw more than a dozen bottles of beer laid out on the coffee table.

Aiden looked speechlessly at Yagami Tsukihime, whose lips were slightly curved upward. "Miss Tsukihime, I remember asking for soda, didn't I?"

Yagami Tsukihime looked up at the ceiling and said calmly, "I just realized the soda's all gone."

"I don't even dare look people in the eye when I lie."

"Shut up." Yagami Tsukihime suddenly snapped at him. "What's the difference between beer and soda anyway?"

'The difference is huge…'

Looking at Tsukihime's irritated face, Aiden sighed and said, "Forget it, I won't drink."

After saying that, he turned around to leave.

But...

"Stop."

The girl's cool voice rang out.

"You're the one who said you wanted to be entertained. I've already brought out what I'm using to entertain you, and now you want to leave, don't you think that's a bit disrespectful?"

That made Aiden's old face flush red. His steps halted, and he turned back around.

Then he said, "But I really want soda more. I drank too much tonight."

"There's only beer," Yagami Tsukihime said, a trace of cunning flashing in her eyes. 'Too much already? Perfect.'

"Then… fine." Aiden sighed.

After Aiden sat down on the sofa, Yagami Tsukihime picked up a bottle of beer, opened it, and handed it to him, saying, "You have to drink all of it!"

You're setting me up here… But after taking the beer, Aiden didn't drink it right away. Instead, he said, "When you entertain a guest, the host should keep them company. So if I drink, you have to drink too."

But Yagami Tsukihime said righteously, "I'm still a student."

Hearing that, Aiden tugged at the corner of his mouth and glanced at her. "Who was it yesterday that puffed out her chest and said she was an adult? Oh right, only kids like to emphasize that they're adults."

"I'm not a kid. I'll drink, then!" Yagami Tsukihime's temper flared instantly. She grabbed a bottle of beer, opened it, and drank.

The red-haired girl was clearly not good at drinking. After frowning her way through a bottle of beer, she wiped the foam from the corner of her mouth with her pajama sleeve, completely without grace. Then, with a slightly flushed face, she said in a provocative tone, "I'm done. Your turn."

But when she saw Aiden holding his beer and looking around instead of drinking, the red-haired girl snapped, "What are you looking at? Drink already! Are you trying to cheat?"

"I'm just looking for the bathroom, so I don't end up drinking too much and then not being able to find it and, you know, poop my pants," Aiden joked crudely. In truth, he just didn't really want to drink.

But hearing that, Yagami Tsukihime's eyes lit up, and an evil thought formed in her mind.

She then pointed in a direction. "The bathroom's over there."

Then she continued, "Aiden, how about we make a bet?"

Aiden was startled. "A bet on what?"

"We compete in drinking beer. Whoever goes to the bathroom first loses!"

"Boring. Not doing it!" Aiden pouted. He'd played this game plenty of times with friends in real life, it really wasn't that interesting.

"Are you scared?"

Yagami Tsukihime gave him a provocative look again and said disdainfully, "If you're scared and don't dare compete, just say it. But from then on, whenever you see me, you have to obediently call me Big Sister Tsukihime, and you'll be my lackey for a month, whatever I tell you to do, you do it."

"Then what if you lose?" Aiden asked back.

The red-haired girl said confidently, "I can't lose."

At the same time, she was thinking, 'I already went to the bathroom earlier. Besides, women are made of water…'

Aiden immediately set the beer in his hand down. "Then I'm not competing. You have to put up enough stakes."

Hearing that, the red-haired girl grew a bit anxious. After thinking for a moment, she said, "If I lose, I'll be your lackey for a month too."

"And you're not allowed to call me 'Aiden' anymore, you have to call me oniichan," Aiden added. A tall, cool girl calling him oniichan would definitely feel different from Yuri doing it.

Yagami Tsukihime hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly. "Deal!"

Then she pointed at the beer. "Your turn."

Aiden smiled, picked up the opened bottle of beer, and downed it in one go. He casually tossed the empty bottle aside and said, "Your turn!"

Crack!

Gulp gulp!

Clang!

The red-haired girl wiped her mouth. "Your turn again."

"Finished… your turn!"

"Let me take a breather… whew, your turn!"

"..."

———

[Half an Hour Later]

Dozens of empty beer cans were scattered all over the floor.

Yagami Tsukihime, face flushed and eyes hazy, clutched her stomach and looked at Aiden, mumbling, "Aiden… stop forcing it. Just admit defeat!"

"Heh, shouldn't I be the one saying that, Miss Tsukihime? Who's the one forcing it here?" Aiden gave her a disdainful glance, raised the beer in his hand, and finished it at the same pace as before.

After tossing away the empty bottle, Aiden opened another one and handed it to Yagami Tsukihime, who was sitting on the floor leaning against the sofa. "Here, your turn again."

In truth, Yagami Tsukihime couldn't drink anymore. The intense urge to pee was constantly pushing her physical limits, but in order not to lose to Aiden, she still struggled to raise her hand and take the beer.

But she really couldn't drink it. And as the alcohol continued to take hold, her consciousness was growing more and more blurred. If this went on… even making it to the bathroom might become a problem.
