You strode forward and hugged Kasen.
<span class="mu-i">"...Eeeeh!?"</span> She mouthed as another flash came from Aya's camera, flushed and humiliated by the display.
Your head was just buried into her shoulder as her eyes darted from the left and the right, Kasen herself totally unsure of what to do besides pat your shoulder and hope to endure the duration of this...
<span class="mu-i">"A-Albert... are you okay? Maybe giving you special sake wasn't the best idea... I shouldn't even be drinking myself."</span> Kasen sighed as she held her saucer out for a refill from Suika nonetheless.
You wept.
Kasen raised an eyebrow, and she promptly nudged you back, seeing you shed manly tears with a serious face and a sniffle.
<span class="mu-i">"U-Uh! Albert? What's... wrong? Are you... are you crying...?!"</span>
"Yes. Yes I am."
<span class="mu-i">"Awhoo...? I-Is something the matter with him? Is it because he stopped petting me...?"</span> Kagerou said, quick to come to your side.
"No. These are tears of joy." You proclaimed, giving pause even to Suika; "Because you're all so nice to me-hee-heeeee!"
Confusion swamped the room and you still clutched Kasen tightly, the Hermit's brain buzzing with question marks. Clownpiece spared a look towards her torch, debating whether or not to exacerbate things by waving it to you and the rest of the drunk Youkai.
