Being drunk didn't affect those people much; once the effects of the Honkai Suppressor wore off, they would wake up.
Even Ruan Mei woke up because the effects of the medication wore off and her body's energy began to automatically counteract the effects of the alcohol.
"Where are my clothes?"
"It's drying now."
“…This is troublesome.” Ruan Mei nodded, thinking that it made sense, as the backs of those clothes had probably all fallen to the ground.
Ruan Mei touched her earrings—not everyone sold their jewelry.
Like her, she was too lazy to take off her earrings and just started drinking.
"But I have spare clothes. If you want to move around, I can get them for you."
"Thank you for your trouble, Miss Saro." Ruan Mei nodded and then drew back the curtains beside her.
She needed some sunlight—but it was dark outside.
"Isn't it 'early'?"
“…I can’t exactly greet you with ‘Goodnight,’ can I?” Tōsara paused for a moment.
Ruan Mei; "..."
You're being a bit too traditional.
Ruan Mei glanced at the digital clock hanging on the wall.
It's the same day, only now it's late at night.

"Wow, this game is so much fun, you've completely forgotten about your best friends! A woman outside is trying to seduce our General, Chiyo, what do you suggest we do?"
"Dip the pig cage!"
Fox Palace and Mikoto Chiyo ganged up on Raiden Shin.
However, the lightning bolts surrounded in the middle seemed completely unafraid.
She just looks weak. She's known these people for so many years, how could she be intimidated by such a small joke?
Just ...
“In the blink of an eye, I’m already considered an ‘outsider’. Your words, Fox Palace, are truly hurtful to my friend.”
Thunder and lightning are truly lamentable.
"As for why I didn't bring you... Miss Yelan said there wouldn't be enough wine if there were too many people."
"...What? There's no way to fix it like this?"
"Yes, if that's the case, you can't blame Zhen."
Fox-Sai-no-miya and Mikoto Chiyo both nodded in agreement upon hearing this reason.
"Don't accept it so calmly all of a sudden!" Ke Qing, who had just reached the door, overheard the conversation and couldn't help but complain.
Are all these people alcoholics?
"Hey, little girl, you still don't understand anything."
Fox Palace revealed a shrewd, old-timer's expression.
Keqing politely declined the offer—based on her current impression, it seemed that only Kujo Taisho was a normal person among Inazuma's group.
The others, including Raiden Shin, are not normal people.
"Excuse me." After giving a slight bow and saying this, Ke Qing walked away.
"Hmm...this child's temperament is a bit like Sara's," Mikoto Chiyo said, stroking her chin.
"They may look similar on the surface, but they are actually different."
Raiden shook his head.
However, she didn't dislike this kind of straightforward little girl.
"Anyway, it just needs polishing." Fox Palace yawned lazily. "Honestly, it's not like I haven't met Senior Sister Gan Yu before, why can't you even accept something like this?"
Isn't it normal for immortal beings to have some quirks?
—Well, even Fox Abode Palace should call her Senior Sister Gan Yu, after all, she's lived a really long life.
Anyway, Fox Palace thinks that their group of people who like to have fun are much better than Gan Yu, that workaholic.
Liking to play is at least a normal quirk, right?
Gan Yu... well, let's just say she's been rolling around in the same spot for three thousand years...
The era has changed dramatically in just one or two hundred years. How did Gan Yu have the patience to keep rolling down rain for the previous two thousand years? Just thinking about it gives Fox Palace a headache.
“Because you guys are too strange.” Zhen hit the nail on the head. “...Well, I don’t really find it strange either.”
Fox Palace rolled its eyes at Zhen's statement and didn't bother to reply.
At this moment, Shadow also returned—in fact, Shadow was the first to wake up.
The reason is simple: although this person was the first to fall off the table because he lost the most, he was also the one with the best physical condition present.
After everyone had been cleaning up the area for a short while, Ying got up and came over to help.
"Sis, are you going to eat?"
"Ah...Ah Ying, are you finally going to usurp the throne?" Chiyo murmured.
“It’s food I sell at the night market,” Ying replied calmly, her face expressionless.
"So you ate it?"
"No."
"You really did sneak a bite, didn't you?"
“I ate it openly and honestly at the night market, so it can’t be considered stealing food.”
"Heh..." Mikoto Chiyo took the bag Kage handed her. "Hey, why is it all snacks to go with drinks!"
"It's barbecue."
"Isn't barbecue just a snack to go with drinks?"
"Chiyo, you're hopeless."
"I don't want to be told that by someone who lost a drinking game."
Mikoto Chiyo and Kage were bickering.
He looked at this scene thoughtfully.
"...Is something the matter, sister?"
"Ah Ying... why don't you learn to cook?" Zhen suddenly said. "A young lady can't just keep fighting and killing all the time. She should also know some ways to please people."
“Rubbing your chest against your brother-in-law’s arm will make him happy,” Ying said, tilting her head.
Even just slightly pulling down her collar would make her brother-in-law very happy.
"...Is this the wisdom of a fool?"
Fox Palace wore an expression that suggested he was trying not to laugh.
"But it is indeed a truth."
Mikoto Chiyo glanced at her chest, her face darkening slightly.
A man's happiness is actually that simple.
Seeing Mikoto Chiyo's actions, Kosai-gumi mimicked Raiden's tone from earlier and said in a high-pitched voice, "Chiyo, do you want to go to Toyo..."
"I'll beat you to death, you filthy fox!"
…………
"Is he still unconscious? Let's go." Ling Keqing walked into Liu Bai's room, looking at Ning Shanguang with a somewhat speechless expression. "This person is just drunk, not seriously ill. Does he need you to stay with him the whole time?"
"This is a great opportunity."
A radiant smile.
Xueyi, sitting opposite Ningguang, remained unmoved, as if she were a real doll.
Keqing even had a feeling that this doll-like woman might be sleeping with her eyes open.
As for Ningguang's words, Keqing was speechless.
Well, it seems that ever since Liu Bai came, Ningguang has been caught in a vicious cycle of thinking, "I always have to go through political marriages, so why not seize this opportunity?"
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Ningguang has never been a believer in being single; in fact, she has suitors all over the world. Many people have spent a fortune to sign contracts just to have a meal with Ningguang and win a smile from the beauty.
Ningguang never said she was against marriage; she just didn't think much of her suitors.
If those people knew that Ningguang was now the one pursuing him, their expressions would probably be quite amusing.
"Miss Xueyi, would you like something to eat?"
Keqing, like Ying, went to the night market to buy late-night snacks.
However, compared to Ying, Keqing bought something more proper: a boxed lunch.
Instead, the casual feeling of late-night snacks is gone.
"Thank you, but no need, I have no need to eat."
Xueyi always responds when you ask her questions.
Since that's what she's said, Keqing won't stand on ceremony and will hand the lunchbox to Ningguang.
Then all the chairs in the room were taken, so Keqing simply rolled up her skirt, took her lunchbox, squatted down and started eating.
Xueyi: "..."
She could have simply given up her seat; she could have just said so.
But how come your posture is so practiced?
Xueyi tilted her head, a rare occurrence for her, and her gaze was somewhat strange.
After all, Keqing's current demeanor is completely out of place with her noble bearing.
However, Keqing didn't seem to care much for him. She often worked hard alongside the laborers, and it was common for her to squat to eat when there were no seats available in the canteen.
—Although wearing this gorgeous outfit is a bit inconvenient right now.
"Miss Keqing, please come and sit down."
Xueyi stood up; she naturally possessed this level of politeness.
Ke Qing didn't stand on ceremony with Xue Yi. After sincerely thanking her, Ke Qing sat down.
Perhaps because the two of them were eating next to Liu Bai, Liu Bai's nose twitched unconsciously twice.
"...Lord Liu Bai?" Xueyi was naturally the first to notice this.
"Um... Snow Robe?"

"You finally woke up."
"Um... an unfamiliar ceiling, but at least the people here are familiar."
Liu Bai propped himself up and sat up.
"Should I say it's too early...?"
Liu Bai's voice was a little hoarse.
Upon hearing this voice, Xueyi, who had just stood up, went to get water for Liu Bai.
After making a joke, Liu Bai looked at Ke Qing, who was holding a lunchbox beside him, and began to ponder, despite his splitting headache—the question he was pondering was, of course, why these people were around him.
If there were any Kafka or Raiden around, Liu Bai would just laugh it off, have a drink of water, eat something, and then take a nap.
But who is around us now?
