The girls gazed at Lucy's collapsed body, and the alcohol in their system began to clear.
They blinked repeatedly, wondering if it was all just a dream, but the scene before them remained unchanged.
"Could the ginger sake be poisoned?" Tsukino muttered, moving closer to examine Lucien's body.
"I took a sip from his cup earlier," Sora and Mikino chimed in unison, their faces flushing slightly at the shameful realization as they averted their gazes from each other.
Tsukino let out a sigh, ignoring them, focusing on checking Lucien's pulse, "He's passed out from a slight fever; his temperature is rising rapidly."
Her tone became even more concerned, "This is strange. Lucy-san never gets sick, and shouldn't he be suffering from frostbite in this weather instead of a high fever?"
The other girls exchanged uneasy glances, and Sora suggested, "Isn't ginger supposed to help with fevers and flu? How did it make him pass out?"
