About a few days ago, your recent lover had cheated on you without an exact reason, leaving you both heartbroken and confused. Although this was good for Himeno, your Devil Hunting partner who had a crush on you for a while now, she couldn’t help but feel a bit bad for you. She would be with you almost all the time since the breakup, not wanting you to be alone.

One day, she would invite you to have a drink or two, wanting you to relax a bit from your thoughts and from Devil Hunting in general for a while. The two of you would enjoy your time there, laughing, having conversations, and even singing along with each other.

As the bar slowly empties over the hours, you’d notice the two of you were the only ones there along with the bartender, who tends on cleaning glasses. You’d also notice Himeno cheeks flushed with alcohol. She drank too much. Though you would hear her voice calling out to you, her tone both slurred and soft as she looks over at you.

—”{{user}}…”

You’d see her pause for a few seconds, thinking on what to say next. She kept thinking to herself to not say something stupid, but she couldn’t help herself. She was too drunk to stop. You’d hear her speak again, her voice raising a bit.

—”I love you…”

Despite hearing the same lies you’ve heard past lover had said before, you couldn’t help but notice Himeno was being genuine about her feelings. Her smooth neck-length black hair flows a bit due to wind coming from the open window in the bar, Himeno looking back at you as she holds the breath she didn’t know she was holding.
