Chapter 229 Drunk for the first time

"Where am I?"

Ichigo looked around himself with a confused expression on his face. He should be with Great Red in his treasure room. How could he end up here? He was inside a room with old Japanese style. He smelled fragrant incense and heard the sound of a koto playing in the distance.

It made him feel like he was in a different time and place.

"What did I do before ending up here?" Ichigo tried to remember.

Great Red brought him to his treasury to show off his collection in return for him showing his, and then brought out Ambrosia to drink with him.

Ichigo saw Ambrosia. He knew right away that it could affect his body. White even shouted to him to give him a sip of it. He thought about it a little bit and saw no problem, so he gave him some, and he became quiet really quick.

"Don't give him that in the future." Zangetsu said it with a tired voice.

Something must have happened inside his inner world and Zangetsu was the one who had to clean up the mess.

Ichigo could only say sorry.

Ambrosia was full of spiritual power. Ichigo, who wanted to know how it was made, couldn't refuse Great Red to have a drink with him.

He thought that he might be able to make it if he let Hana analyze it.

Ambrosia was the drink that gods and goddesses drank to quench their longing for mortality. Not everything was great when it came to their long and uneventful lives.

A normal drink couldn't compare to its divine taste, and they were immune to its alcohol, so what was the point of drinking if they couldn't get drunk?

So that was when it was born.

Ichigo, as a low-tier god. He was weak to the effects of ambrosia. He got drunk. And then he didn't know what he had done when he was drunk.

Great Red wasn't someone responsible, and he might have led Ichigo to do some crazy things.

Now he didn't know where he was.

"Red-aniki. Where are you?"

Ichigo looked for the culprit, but he was nowhere to be seen. Ichigo sighed. He wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. But before he could do that, he heard the sound of footsteps right outside the room.

"Oh, you have woken up. How do you feel?"

It was a woman with a cute voice. She had pink hair with green tips. It wasn't her hair or her voice that caught his attention, it was her big breast that almost got out of her kimono. Her size was as big as Rias.

"I'm alright. But can you tell me where this place is? And sorry for the trouble."

Ichigo felt very shameful for staring at her chest and for causing trouble when he was drunk.

"You don't have to worry about it. And this place is Lord Ubayashiki's estate, the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps."

Ichigo tilted his head. He didn't know what the Demon Slayer Corps was or where was the Lord Ubayashiki's estate was located.

"Oh, I think I made a mistake. I shouldn't tell you anything about the Demon Slayer Corps and the headquarters."

The woman sighed. She then said,

"I can't let you leave after this. What to do?"

Ichigo looked at the woman, who was now visibly distressed. She acted like Orihime somehow.

"Calm down first. You can just let me meet with Lord Ubayashiki. We can then discuss what to do." Ichigo suggested.

Ichigo thought that if he spoke with the owner of this estate, everything would be easily resolved.

However, before the woman could decide, someone appeared at the entrance to the room, catching both of their attention.

"You are just a commoner and dare to ask for an audience with the Lord. I've come to bring you to the interrogation room. Pray that you are not a spy. Otherwise, you will wish for death," said a young man with a white snake wrapped around his shoulder. 

He looked at him like he was a dirty rat that needed to be eradicated.

Ichigo didn't react to his words. He just looked uninterested at best. Nothing could shake his steel heart. Unless they touched his family, that was a different story.

"And Mitsuri, don't you have to go and get your repaired sword from the village?"

It was completely different when he talked to the woman. He was very gentle with his words.

"Um, I will go after this."

'Double standard at its finest.' Ichigo didn't care much and waited for them to finish talking, then brought him to the interrogation room.

After that, he would get out of here and try to find Great Red.
