Undead Beast Master: Living Solely for My Desires-Chapter 160: The Night of Revelations
Honestly, it was weird. Zaroth had gotten used to when he was sitting on a table to be either alone or with his three friends. But this time Midnight was here as well, this was certainly going to take some time to get used to.
"I love him! I really do! But sometimes he just gets so unbelievably lazy that it irritates me to no end! But if you just happen to mention alcohol, he suddenly seems to get sudden bursts of power!" Lily complained as she slammed down the empty cup on the wooden table.
Midnight was clearly having trouble getting used to the situation as well, she had most likely never entered into a bar, nor had she happened to chat with a woman in such a friendly manner.
At least Lily seemed happy. She had probably been fed up going out with only boys, so she could finally vent her frustrations to another person of the same gender.
Shifting his gaze to Zack, Zaroth saw that the man was massaging his forehead.
"What is the matter?" he asked.
Meeting his gaze, Zack complained, but not before taking another sip out of the mostly empty bottle.
"I saw her! When we were in the forest during the hunting competition! I saw her, and yet I didn’t notice that she was a vampire then!"

Leaning back in his chair, Zack groaned in frustration. "Gods, I’m really that distracted?! How could I miss a demon when I meet it so close up?!"
Leaving the man to his own thoughts, Zaroth shifted his gaze to Roran, who, despite being in the bar, seemed to be the most serious of all of them, which was clearly a rarity, usually, the alcohol would have boosted his mood.
Not to mention, this was the bar they had helped to deal with that gang, meaning that the alcohol was free! …Not the food though, just the drinks.
"Something on your mind?" Zaroth asked.
Roran shifted his gaze from Lily and Midnight to Zaroth as he responded.
"It’s weird… so many different people have come together and are chatting like friends. I’m not sure how to feel about that…" Roran admitted.
By the look in his eyes, it seemed that something was weighing on his mind… no, this weight had been there since Zaroth had met him for the first time, it was just that now, as Roran seemed more comfortable, he wasn’t putting on a brave face constantly.
"We can always talk," Zaroth spoke with a smile as he handed his friend a newly opened bottle.
Taking it from his hands, Roran looked at his reflection in the glass for a moment before taking a few heavy sips.
"There isn’t much to talk about, honestly… it’s just that once I lost everything… almost everything, I thought that from now on I wouldn’t have time to truly relax."
"And yet you do now," Zack joined in as he tapped Roran on the shoulder.
In response, Roran smiled slightly. "You’re right…"
Zack and Zaroth grinned as they watched Roran gulp down the bottle without a second thought.
Thankfully, they managed to cheer him up. Now, the alcohol was hopefully going to do the rest.
After he was done, he slammed it loudly on the table as he shifted his gaze to the cute waitress that was nearby.
"One more bottle!" he shouted amidst the loud bar as he held up a finger.
"Make it two!" Zaroth shouted as he raised two fingers.
"Three!" replied Zack, holding up three fingers.
After the cute waitress brought them three orders, they began to see who was going to outdrink each other.
As time passed, the girls seemed to start getting along more and more.
"I want to say the truth!" Midnight spoke as she put the glass down. She didn’t have much experience when it came to drinking alcohol, but truth be told, she enjoyed it.
Lily turned her head, only for her eyes to widen as she felt Midnight embrace her.
"I didn’t know that I would find humans that would accept me! You guys are the best!"
Thankfully, it was late at night, and everyone in the bar was so utterly drunk that no one paid any attention to the table of five.
That meant they could chat about anything, without the fear of being overheard.
Tapping at Midnight’s shoulder, Lily managed to mutter, "Okay, okay. Let go! You’ll break my ribs at this rate!"
Midnight did as instructed as she muttered a quiet, Sorry.
"The fuck did you just say?!" Zaroth shouted as he got up on the table.
It was a mystery as to why he was naked above the waist.
"I said that you haven’t beaten me yet!" Roran responded as he did the same motion.
It was a mystery why the two seemed to remove their shirts when things got heated in their drinking match, but at this point, it had almost become a tradition.
It seemed that Zack had decided he had enough for now and headed to the toilet. But, for some reason, he had gotten into an argument with some drunkards. There was most likely going to be a fight soon, which, strangely enough, had also become a tradition.
"By the way, I wanted to say how beautiful your nails are!" Lily spoke, only to raise an eyebrow as she saw how red Midnight’s face had gotten.
For some reason, the vampire was looking to the side, wearing an alluring smile on her face, while her crimson eyes shone like a hunter ready to devour its prey.
Following her gaze, Lily saw that Midnight was busy staring at Zaroth’s naked body.
Was this how vampires looked when they got heated? Or was it because she had had a lot of alcohol to drink?
Lily usually wouldn’t have scolded Roran and Zaroth for getting up on the table under normal circumstances, but with Midnight there now, she wanted to avoid attracting attention. If someone else discovered that Midnight was a vampire, it could prove disastrous.
"Get down!" Lily spoke as she grabbed Roran’s hand.
"Not until I show him that he can’t beat me!" Roran shouted in response.
"Gods! Just because of the free alcohol, you’re embarrassing yourself! At least show some dignity in front of Zaroth’s girlfriend!"

Hearing Lily’s words, Zaroth’s eyes widened as he suddenly felt an idea pop into his head.
Getting off the table with a silent jump, he shifted his gaze to Midnight, who, for some reason, was red… more than usual, and took ragged breaths as she looked at him.
Trying not to pay attention to the alluring face she was making, he approached her with a smile.
"I figured it out!" he proclaimed, stopping in front of her.
Taking a few seconds to compose herself, Midnight spoke without lifting her gaze, which was locked on his chest and abs. "Figured out what?"
Zaroth’s smile seemed to get even wider, clearly pleased with himself.
"Where to find you a source of food, one that no one would object to!"
It seemed that his plan to get drunk and forget the uncertain thoughts had worked much better than expected.
