The contest ended in a draw, with both of them passing out, bottles still in their hands. Vincent feels glad that he didn't try to keep up with such heavy drinkers.

"I'll take Lady Yuyuko back to her room," says Youmu. "May I ask you to carry Komachi to one of the empty guest rooms? There should be a few near your room."

"What about Chen?" asks Vincent.

"She'll be fine like that. The girl hates being woken up from her naps. You'll probably get badly scratched if you try," she says.

Without another word, Youmu leaves the dining room, carrying the ghost princess on her back. Vincent sighs as he looks down at Komachi. She lays splayed out on the floor. Her dress seems to have gotten a bit loose, and is she drooling?

After cleaning the poor girl up a bit, Vincent hoists her up onto his back and begins to carry her out of the dining room. Komachi grabs him tightly, seemingly by reflex. He does his best to ignore a certain pair of sweet soft things pressing against his back.

"Warm," Komachi whispers. "So warm."

Vincent peeks at the girl, but it looks like she is just talking in her sleep. Her flushed, sleeping face looks so cute and peaceful, though. No one is looking right now. Maybe he can...

"No," he tells himself firmly. "Bad idea."

Somehow, his rational side wins over and he manages to carry Komachi to a guest room without incident. He lays her out on a futon, making sure to cover her up with the blanket warmly. After one last glance at the sleeping shinigami, he closes the door and begins to walk toward his own room.

On the way back, he praises himself silently for his own self-control. Perhaps he can learn to live with these nice girls without getting into unneccessary trouble. Maybe he can even -

"Ugh!" cries Vincent. "W-what the..."

His vision starts blurring once more. Pain. Something is cleaving deep into his head. Again and again. This isn't right. He didn't even drink anything. It burns. He feels himself crumple down on the ground. It slices. This is too much. He can't hold on much longer.
