DxD: I Steal Luck

"This is the divine wine I brewed. Are you sure you want to try it? The consequences could be..." Soma said nervously, as if waking up slightly after being confronted by Blake.

"You think your divine wine can conquer us?" Before Soma could finish his sentence, Blake snatched the jar, its irresistible aroma seeping through despite the sealed container.

"God Soma, do you have cups?" Blake asked.

"Yes." Soma sighed weakly, then pulled out two wine cups and reluctantly cleaned them for Blake and Lili.

"This is your choice. I hope you don't blame me later," Soma muttered as he handed the cups to them. Despite his momentary clarity, he still didn't believe anyone could resist the allure of his divine wine.

Without saying much, Blake, together with Lili, uncorked the jar.

In an instant, a strong, intoxicating fragrance of alcohol filled the space, making it difficult for anyone to resist becoming immersed in it.

The adventurer outside, who had been guiding them, revealed a greedy and entranced expression, his eyes fixed on the wine jar held in one of Blake's hands.

Perhaps, if it weren't for the pressure from Blake's presence, he would have wanted to immediately sneak up behind him, stab him, and seize the wine.

Sigh

Noticing the movement at the door, Soma let out a disappointed sigh.

At that moment, under Soma's shocked gaze, Blake casually took the wine jar and began drinking it in large gulps.

Lili, standing beside him, also showed a determined expression as she drank the half-glass of wine that Blake poured for her.

This wine was her mental demon, but with Blake by her side, she didn't feel as frightened. She was determined to overcome it.

Seconds felt like days as the tension hung in the air.

When Blake had finished drinking the entire jar of divine wine, Soma was left dumbfounded, unable to react.

Then, Soma noticed the red blush on Blake's face, and his eyes had taken on a reddish hue. He let out a disappointed sigh.

Although this reaction was much better than that of the children from before, it was clear they had still fallen under the influence of the divine wine.

Lili had a similar reaction to Blake, and Soma fell into further silence.

"The divine wine, just as the rumors say, is truly captivating."

Just as Soma was about to turn around and continue brewing wine, waiting for the two of them to sober up so he could kick them out, Blake's calm voice sounded, causing Soma's eyes to widen in shock as he stared at him.

Blake's eyes showed no sign of the madness that typically hid behind the eyes of children who had drunk divine wine. Instead, they were as clear as water.

"How... is this possible...?" Soma muttered, unable to believe what he was seeing.

It was known that in the past, children would lose their sanity after drinking even a small sip, yet Blake had consumed an entire jar—many times more than anyone else. And yet, he had passed through it easily.

How could this not shock Soma?

"Lord Soma, if this little amount is enough to erase Lili's past, then you underestimate her too much."

Following Blake's words, Lili also spoke in a low voice, revealing that she had also regained her clarity, despite having drunk the divine wine as well.

The divine wine was indeed a miraculous substance, but Lili's painful past was not something that could be erased so easily by a mere drink. Moreover, she didn't want to disappoint Blake, who trusted her completely.

"Have I lost... were my previous actions and thoughts wrong?"

Hearing this, Soma stared blankly at the two, his body collapsing weakly to the ground. His eyes grew lost in thought. The cold, hard truth was now before him: Blake and Lili had drunk his proud divine wine and were unaffected. This realization shattered his sense of certainty.

He reflected on everything that had come before, overwhelmed by intense guilt and regret.

Seeing that Soma seemed to have recognized his mistakes, Blake shook his head and no longer beat around the bush, stating his purpose clearly.

"I came here just to ask you to release one of your Familia members. Of course, I'll pay the withdrawal fee."

Blake's words made everyone in the room snap to attention.

Lili clenched her fists, her palms sweating, but her eyes were filled with hope and pleading as she looked at Soma.

The adventurer who had been guiding them stared at Blake in shock. He hadn't expected him to cause such a scene just for Lili, one of their supporters.

"I understand. Please hand me a sword."

After a moment of silence, Soma spoke softly.

Without saying much more, Blake took the sword from his waist and handed it to Soma.

Soma took the sword and made a cut across his palm.

Lili hurriedly rolled up her cloak and undid the ties on her back, exposing a series of Falna markings—divine characters and patterns.

Then, Soma's fingers moved gently over her back, tracing specific movements.

As he did so, the light from the markings began to fade slowly, and even the marks themselves started disappearing.

From this moment on, Lili's abilities were sealed.

Because Soma had transferred ownership of Lili to another, his divine blood no longer affected the Falna.

However, when Lili rejoined another Familia and received that god's divine blood, her abilities would be awakened again.

Having finally achieved the long-awaited freedom, Lili felt neither joy nor sadness. All she felt was an overwhelming sense of loss and complexity.

"This is the withdrawal fee."

Blake placed two bags filled with gold coins in front of Soma.

"Two hundred eighty thousand valis. For a Level 1 supporter's withdrawal fee, this should be enough, right?"

After saying this, Blake took Lili's hand, which was filled with mixed emotions, and left Soma's room.

All that was left in the room was Soma, who sat in a daze, staring at the backs of Blake and Lili as they left. After a long time, he muttered to himself.

"I can't believe I made such a huge mistake..."

In that moment, the god known as Soma was fully awakened by Blake and Lili.
