Chapter 136 - Kane Drags Seri To Work

I groaned and propped myself up. I looked up while feeling as if my head was pounding. I could see several faces staring at me with looks of surprise and disgust.

I rubbed my forehead, "Why does this feel like deja vu..."

Millie stomped her foot and glared at Artie, "You tripped her! Why did you trip her?!"

Artie smiled mischievously, "I didn't trip her. She tripped over her own feet."

I sat up, "Holy f*ck!! This is Deja vu!! Don't tell me I've transmigrated to another world again?! I can't deal with the knowledge of knowing I've died again!!"

Millie looked away from Artie and looked towards me, "What are you talking about?"

Artie chuckled, "I think she might be out of her mind still."

Millie ignored him and helped me up. She looked at me with concern, "Are you alright?"

I nodded, "Well I feel like I have a hangover... But I don't remember drinking..."

Millie blinked, "That's called a headache."

"Oh."

I looked around and saw everyone's expressions as they stared at me. William was sitting on the ground with a bright red face. Lucius and Dante were fainted on the ground. Mary was blushing while holding her chest and mumbling inaudibly. Mathias was hiding behind a tree.

I frowned, "Just what happened? All I remember is playing sports then the rest is a blur."

Millie blinked blankly, "You kissed Dante."

I nodded, "I see." I froze. My head slowly turned to her as my face twitched, "Say again?"

Millie repeated, "You kissed Dante. And then he fainted."

My face heated up, "I-I-I did WHAT?!"

She continued, "You also referred to William as your Daddy and hung on to him in a seductive manner. Which made him faint."

I'm going to puke.

"But that's not all, you also clung to Lucius and said you will show him what fun really was. Then Dante got so angry he knocked him out. You tried to do the same to Mathias, but he ran away."

At least I didn't destroy Mathias's innocence.

"There's more."

I wanted to cry, "There's even MORE?!"

"You tried to take Artie out to pickpocket and you also motorboated Mary. Am I using that term correctly?"

The blood drained from my face. I mumbled, "Please tell me I didn't do anything awful to you."

Millie smiled warmly causing her eyes to squish in an adorable fashion. "Nope. You were quite nice to me. You said I reminded you of someone and then you asked me if I wanted to go on a joyride with you in a lambo. Although I don't really know what that is..."

I gulped, "I-I don't even know what that is."

D*mn. I miss my car...

Her face twitched, "But I suppose that everyone is staring at you because you went crazy and committed such scandalous actions." Her once warm tone had a hint of murderous intent in it. "Not to mention you kissed Dante."

I took a step back unconsciously under her strange look. I couldn't focus on the meaning behind it because I was too busy freaking out about kissing Dante.

I kissed Dante?!

I DID?!

WHY THE HELL DID I DO THAT!?

WHAAAAAAA!!!

My brain couldn't even process the information. I felt my face heating up more and more. I could tell I was blushing heavily, but this only made me blush further.

Why did I have to kiss Dante?! And why couldn't I remember it!?!

WAIT?! WHY DO I WANT TO REMEMBER IT?!?

Millie's face continued to twitch as her expression grew darker, "You kissed Dante... In front of everyone..."

I cried, "Stop mentioning it!!!"

Artie chuckled mischievously, "She didn't JUST kiss him. She passionately kissed him! So much that he actually fainted!"

AHHHHH KILL ME NOW!!!!!

I looked around I'm a panic and could hear the whispers around me.

"Seri kissed Dante?"

"Are the two engaged?"

"No, but maybe she likes him?!"

I covered my ears unable to endure the embarrassing whispers. I felt my breathing quicken as my chest rose and fell.

I took a deep breath. Brushed myself off. And forced on an expressionless face.

I nodded, "Well. Since I have a headache, I will be returning back to the dorm now."

I turned around quickly leaving no time for anyone to say anything. I quickly sprinted away and ran back to my room. I rushed in and slammed the door behind me. I shrieked loudly and dove into my bed.

Let me just hide here under my covers... Yup... Nothing happened. Nothing happened...

PoonPoon poked his head out from the top of my beds canopy and looked down in confusion.

I sobbed, "Don't ask!!!"

Why would I kiss Dante?!?

More importantly, why am I so flustered at that fact?!?

In my past life, it's not like I've never kissed before. But I only did it when I wanted to get something. And I never did anything other than that. During those times, I never felt flustered. Only disgusted.

So shouldn't I be feeling disgusted now?! WHY DO I NOT FEEL DISGUSTED?!

Calm down! Let's just not think about it... Let's think about...

But wait, technically Dante has kissed me before. Like on the wrist... And the forehead...

I'M THINKING ABOUT IT AGAIN!!!

I slammed my head into my pillow trying to dispel the memories. I jumped up causing PoonPoon to fall over in shock. I grabbed the journal I kept on the bedside table. I pulled out a pen and started scribbling.

"Whenever your mind is in turmoil, one should just start writing yaoi. Then everything will be alright."

After writing yaoi for hours, my mind was finally normal again. I quickly fell asleep in my room. Luckily, I didn't have to go to class for an entire week since the academy gives the students a break. I could hide in my room in peace.

Mary had left to visit her father without banging on my door. This was most likely due to her being too embarrassed from the incident that I won't even mention.

Ahh... Now everything can go back to normal... Yes... Normal...

In the distance at the entrance of the academy, Kane's voiced boomed, "WHERE THE HELL IS THE BASTARD?! I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!!!"

His voice was so loud it reverberated off the Academy's walls traveling very far. Dante heard this voice and felt a shiver. He quickly hid himself.

He may be the best swordsman in the kingdom, but there was no way he would ever try taking on Seri's father.

My father's booming voice traveled all the way to the dorms. I opened my eyes at it. It was the afternoon and I was lounging around being lazy. I had just taken a nap when I was woken up by my father's hostility.

Yeah... Let's just pretend we didn't hear that...

I turned back around trying to return to my nap.

"SERIIIII!"

My door flung open so quickly it caused splinters to go flying everywhere. I screamed as my father stomped over to me. I stood up to run away, but he grabbed me by my waist and flung me over his shoulders.

"Daddy!!! Let me go!! I'm innocent!!"

His face was dark, "Innocent?! HAH! My daughter lacks discipline!!! I'm dragging you to work so we can get rid of that troublesome nature of yours!"

"NOOO! DADDY! I DON'T WANT TO WORK! I HATE WORKING!"

No matter how much I kicked and screamed, my father dragged me away. He tossed me in a carriage rendering me unable to fight back. He shouted to the driver, "Take us to my factory!"

"Yes sir!" The carriage driver clicked his tongue which caused the horses to go faster.

I held my mouth trying not to puke. I put on a pitiful face, "Daddy...

He frowned, "Don't you Daddy me. I can't believe my own daughter would willingly give herself to a wolf. Not to mention Dante of all people!!!"

My face paled, "B-But Daddy... I wasn't in my right mind. I-I hit my head and-"

My father teared up, "My own daughter... Kissed by the wolf Dante..."

I blinked, "No, Daddy... I kissed him. He didn't kiss me."

His face instantly grew dark, "What was that?"

I gulped, "N-Nothing!!!"

He spoke in a grave tone, "It seems my daughter requires tons of hard work to set her straight."

I gasped, "Not hard work."

"Yes. Hard work."

I pounded on the windows, "NOOOOO! DANTE SAVE ME!"

"WHO?!"

"EEK!"

After we arrived at our destination, I began to heave out my stomach's contents as a result from the long, but fast journey. I followed my father inside as I wiped my mouth groggily.

The factory workers noticed my father and bowed politely, "Lord Kane! Pleasure to have you here!"

My father nodded back, "It's been a long time, Jet."

The worker called Jet looked at me, "Who is this?"

My father smiled with pride, "This is my daughter Seri. Seri, this is Jet. He manages the factory while I'm gone."

I nodded at him, "Nice to meet you."

Jet smiled widely, "I can't believe I'm finally meeting the Mad dog's pup!"

My face twitched. My father chuckled proudly, "Isn't she just like her father?"

Jet chuckled, "Yes! She frowns just like you! And she's as beautiful as you said."

My father's face grew dark, "What was that?"

Jet cleared his throat and turned around, "How about a tour?"

I followed him and my father followed right behind me. Jet walked down the hall explaining the history of the building and what everyone does at the factory. He even explained the small details of every room we passed. I felt like falling asleep.

We came to a large window and Jet spoke, "This is where our assembly line comes to meet. The barrels on the wall are from the distillery and the assembly workers are packaging the chocolates."

I ran up to the window and smacked my face against it. But I didn't mind. "Daddy! You make alcohol AND chocolate here?!"

Jet frowned, "Were you not paying attention to the tour?"

Kane also pouted, "How did you not know what Daddy does for a living?"

I shrugged, "I guess I didn't care enough to think about it."

Kane felt as though he had been dealt a serious blow. I licked my lips and pointed at one worker, "What are they doing?"

Jet followed my line of sight, "Those are the workers who fill the chocolate."

My eyes brightened up, "Fill?"

"Yes. With caramel, strawberry creme, and other kinds of fillings."

I couldn't help but drool, "But you're missing the best filling!!!"

Jet and Kane looked at each other in confusion. Kane spoke, "What filling?"

I quickly broke the door down leading to the workers and ran inside. They all looked at me in confusion as I grabbed a pan and a handful of empty chocolates waiting to be filled. I ran to the barrel and got a cup of whiskey.

Jet and Kane followed after me. My father shouted, "Wait! Seri! You're not allowed to bake! Please don't destroy Daddy's factory!"

I ignored him and began to fill the chocolates with whiskey. I turned to them and held out the tray with a large smile, "There! Try one!"

They looked at it hesitantly. My father picked one up and looked at it with a worried expression.

I rolled my eyes, "It's not poisoned. Watch." I grabbed one and popped it into my mouth. A burning sensation mixed with sweetness invaded my mouth, causing me to shiver with desire.

My father glared at me, "Seri! You're too young to drink!"

"Daddy. People usually let kids have these... I think."

Jet bit into half of it causing the liquid to spill on his chin, "Ack!"

I sighed, "You can't nibble on it. You have to put it all in your mouth at once."

My father took a deep breath and put one into his mouth. His eyes widened in surprise, "This is actually amazing!!!"

I frowned, "Why would it not be amazing?! I may not be an excellent baker, but this is literally two ingredients."

My father put another into his mouth, "This is amazing!! Where'd you come up with this?!"

I guess this means this kind of chocolate doesn't exist here? Now I feel kind of bad for stealing an idea from my previous world.

I smiled smugly, "I'm a natural borne genius Daddy. This is mere child's play to me."

Jet looked at my father with surprise, "Kane! Your daughter really is a genius! She will surely be able to take over the company when you retire!"

My face fell, "Wut."

My father nodded excitedly with stars in his eyes, "I told you! I told you she would be excellent at this kind of thing! Now I can be comforted knowing my company will be passed on to capable hands."

I looked at the both of them who ignored my presence, "Wait! I don't want to take over the company!! I don't want responsibilities!!!"

My father grabbed me and started pulling me away, "Come! Let's go to my office to discuss your future running this company."

"NOOOOO!" I sobbed as I was dragged away mercilessly, "At least let me grab some chocolates first!!!"
