Doing This Kind of Thing with My Childhood Friend

“As soon as you finish your studies, the wedding will be held. The other family has waited a long time.”

The cherished only daughter of an Earl’s house, a model student acknowledged by everyone.
A bolt from the blue fell upon Ellen Sawyer’s world.
It was unfair enough that she had done nothing but study at an academy where free romance flourished, but now she was being told she would have to marry a stranger the moment she graduated, only three months away……
This could not happen.

“If I get married, it’ll really be the end. I can’t let things stay like this!”

With that, she immediately attended the graduation party, famous for being wild, which was being held the very next day.

“Anyone who broke the dress code, drink.”
“Anyone with no dating experience, drink.”
“Anyone who is still a v*rgin, drink.”

However, people rushed at her as if they were determined to make her drunk on purpose.
And in the end, what remained was her hazy mind, an empty champagne glass, and nothing but wounded pride.
She was trembling with miserable defeat, draining every drink in the party hall by herself.

“After making all that fuss, this is where you ended up?”

Just then, Felix Mendel, her long-time childhood friend from whom she had grown a bit distant lately, came looking for her.

“Hey! Am I, am I really that unattractive? They said this place was hot. But why is the world doing this to me……?”

In her sorrowful heart, she poured out her complaints……
But why are you looking at me with those eyes?

“There’s no way that’s true, Ellie. Do you know how I’ve been keeping those beasts away from you all this time?”

What is he even talking about?
I’m just drunk right now…… right?
