#drunkedness

Naofumi drinks a potion that gets him drunk. It was completely voluntary. He gets weird when drunk, as in Lan Wangji Level Weird.

And Motoyasu gets drunk with him.

First, Naofumi forgets everyone and everything, but, he makes a silent decision the moment he sees L'Arc and Therese that he has fallen in love, want to marry them, and shows them his love.

Motoyasu encourages him.

This devolves into multiple shenanigans:

Stealing multiple chickens and Filolial eggs from the town before coming back in record time to hand them to L'Arc and Therese, with Motoyasu laughing the whole way and yet somehow they don't get discovered.

Naofumi decided to make many more pieces of jewelry, and L'Arc and Therese painstakingly had to watch him closely after the first time he almost stabbed his own hand and then didn't care, before going back to having an adorable look of drunken concentration on his face.

While the almost-hand-stabbing happens, Motoyasu ventures out to acquire children for their "newly-wed family" (They're not married yet)

Motoyasu comes back 10 minutes later carrying an almost-asleep Itsuki over one shoulder while Filo sits on the other, and drags a half-asleep Ren and Raphtalia behind him. Rishia is stumbling behind, holding Raphtalia's other hand.

He then loudly announces "I found your children!" in all his drunken glory, before stumbling over his own feet, making everyone crash to the ground.

Oh yeah, and this is all happening in the middle of the night, the others don't know the two are drunk.

Naofumi looks up, blinks slowly thrice, and then goes over to switch between whose head he's petting, muttering "child..." under his breath.

When L'Arc and Therese ask why Motoyasu went to get a bunch of kids, he says he read it in a marriage book somewhere. This sparks the idea of finding one somewhere in the Royal Library.

Naofumi fucking agrees because he wants to provide everything needed for his now (not-yet-married) husband and wife (So far, he's only proposed to them in his drunkenness with a ring, each ring half-done but still, it's ring enough.)

So, they all go to the library, where Naofumi will spend five minutes staring at a random page in each book he finds where the covers look to be something about marriage (half of them are erotica) before finding a new one.

The kids have gone back to sleep on the couches and plush chairs in the library, while L'Arc and Therese are following after Naofumi or Motoyasu, putting the books back in their places after they're randomly put to the ground.

The next morning, when a servant comes to start cleaning the library, they find the four heroes and the Shield Hero's party all sleeping in random spots in the library, seven chickens wandering the hallways, and 5 Filolial eggs on Therese's bed.

Wednesday: Reflection on the First Sunday in Advent

Micah 5:1-5a

Now you are walled around with a wall; siege is laid against us; with a rod they strike the ruler of Israel upon the cheek.

But you, O Bethlehem of Ephrathah, who are one of the little clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to rule in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient days.

Therefore he shall give them up until the time when she who is in labor has brought forth; then the rest of his kindred shall return to the people of Israel.

And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.

And they shall live secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth; and he shall be the one of peace.

Psalm 79

O God, the nations have come into your inheritance;      they have defiled your holy temple;      they have laid Jerusalem in ruins. They have given the bodies of your servants      to the birds of the air for food,      the flesh of your faithful      to the wild animals of the earth. They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem,      and there was no one to bury them. We have become a taunt to our neighbors,      mocked and derided by those around us.

How long, O Lord? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealous wrath burn like fire? Pour out your anger on the nations that do not know you,      and on the kingdoms that do not call on your name.      For they have devoured Jacob and laid waste his habitation.

Do not remember against us the iniquities of our ancestors;      let your compassion come speedily to meet us,      for we are brought very low. Help us, O God of our salvation,      for the glory of your name;      deliver us, and forgive our sins,      for your name's sake. Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let the avenging of the outpoured blood of your servants      be known among the nations before our eyes. Let the groans of the prisoners come before you;      according to your great power preserve those doomed to die. Return sevenfold into the bosom of our neighbors      the taunts with which they taunted you, O Lord! Then we your people, the flock of your pasture,      will give thanks to you forever;      from generation to generation we will recount your praise.

Luke 21:34-38

“Be on guard so that your hearts are not weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of this life, and that day catch you unexpectedly, like a trap. For it will come upon all who live on the face of the whole earth. Be alert at all times, praying that you may have the strength to escape all these things that will take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.” Every day he was teaching in the temple, and at night he would go out and spend the night on the Mount of Olives, as it was called. And all the people would get up early in the morning to listen to him in the temple.
