As I said before, there's an omake!
this event occurred while our main characters was busy on the upper deck
this has some connection with the upcoming chapter, so please don't skip it?
It's PruHun obviously..
Third class gathering hall
Uwa.. This place looked just like a pub..
The hall is crowded and lively. In amidst of all the chattering and excited yell from the people, she can hear a cheerful sound of strings and woodwind. Some of them merrily distributing trays of beers while there are couples dancing or wooing each other.
Elizaveta moved through dancing and gathering crowds as she observe all her surrounding with excitement.
Somehow I want Alice to come with me! This is much more interesting than those neck straining dinner!
"Yo! Pretty miss! Ale?"
"Yes! Thanks!"
Eliza grab the glass gratefully. She turn her head in curiosity as she heard a loud cheering from a corner and move there to get a sight.
"Excuse me.. Excuse me...uh what's this?"
A big dark skinned, bearded man smiled at her and answer happily, "beer challenge, miss! Wanna join?"
Eliza laughed lightly, "Ahaha..no, thanks! Whoa.. Whoa.. Just how much that guy can take?", she raised her eyes upon the sight of the cheered man drinking from the beer hose.
The man shrugged, "who knows? He'd been drinking like a fish ever since uh... Ten minutes ago?"
"Ugh... Seriously? What a terrifying capacity.."
"Definitely tonight's victor...", the tall man grinned and nodded in agreement.
The fair haired man at least dropped the hose and coughed violently. However his grin looked satisfied and proud.
"YEAAH! CHEER FOR AWESOME ME!"
The crowd cheered and shrieked in reaction. Some woman even reach their hand to grab him and give one or two kiss.
"Really.. What's so great being a extreme drunkard?", Elizaveta didn't realize that she spoke a bit too loud. She just realized it when the crowd suddenly quieted down.
Gilbert shove a girl's arm from his and glared at the speaker.
"You have a problem with that, girl?"
Eliza jumped a little. She's a bit flustered from being the center of attention and moreover to be heard by the man she mocked. She glanced at the tall man beside her to seek help, who now cover his mouth from holding his laughter to not bursting out.
"Oi, yes you. What's your problem Missie?"
"Uh, no! I did not.. Uh.."
Gilbert snorted and looked at her with disregarding look, "just say that you're a coward who's not up for challenges and spent your unawesome time to critize awesome people."
"EXCUSE ME?", she yell as her embarrassment changed into anger.
"Admit thaat~ you cannot beat this awesome me~"
"Awesome what? You crazy drunkard! Even a monkey is far better than you!"
"YOU DARE!"
"Yes! Anyway I can't believe that you can do anything beside drinking all day long!"
"At least I'm not an arrogant ugly missie who can only give annoying comment!"
"Ugly? How about you look into a mirror you leech!"
The crowds around them watch their argument in much amusement. The tall man have given up on his laugh and now hold hurt his stomach from immerse laughter.
"You bitch! How about try to achieve something...WHAT?" Gilbert yelled as he felt someone tugged his shirt only to found his little brother trembled in surprise and fear, his eyes slowly filled with tears.
"UWAAAH!", Ludwig, crying from being yelled at. He doesn't like his brother to fight. He's sleepy and tired and scared. Gilbert panicked at his brother crying, the effect of alcohol still blurred his mind a little and confuse him.
"LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE LEECH! Shush.. Shush... Good boy.. Good boy... I will make sure his parents chop you up! What are you thinking? You're horrible drunkard! Shush.. Shush.. Where's your parents dear?"
"Uh..Oi!"
"What?"
"He's my little brother."
Elizaveta froze and glanced toward the white haired man in disbelief.
"You got the wrong charges again eh?"
She can feel her cheeks slowly burning. She quickly turn her face to avoid the man's smirk. The crowds around them dissolved with a giggle on their mouth, that was a good show indeed.
Gilbert still smirked widely as he approach the girl who's still trying to calm his brother with flustered face. He squatted beside them and throw a victorious grin to annoy the girl even more.
"Soo~ I want a declaration of apology."
Elizaveta turn her head in annoyed look, "WHAT?"
"Hey! Be thankful I'm not charging anything else!" He reached out for the boy and take him from Eliza's arm, "I will take Lu to my acquaintance's place, he's sleepy . We'll negotiate later, Ja?", he turn around and sneered to the astonished girl.
She scratched her hair desperately.
"Ugh! Fine!"
Third class cabin corridor.
"Is he asleep?"
"Hm.."
"You better pay your attention to him rather that drinking all night."
"What's with you and drinking?"
Eliza shrugged, "nothing, but if there's something more important to do, I prefer to not drinking. Like not neglecting a child in the crowded hall?"
"Haa...okay, I was wrong on that! Wait! Shouldn't YOU the one who have to apologize?"
"What for?"
"Yelling at me unreasonably?"
"Uh.. Okay! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Satisfied?"
Gilbert smirk become wider, somehow his face turned into fox like expression.
"Uh, what? Don't make that face. You're creepy.."
"Nye he he he...~ How about apologizing for calling me a leech?"
"How about you apologizing for calling me good for nothing coward?"
They glared at each other with threatening look.
"I'm not a leech."
"Neither do I"
"I can prove that."
"Yeah, come if you dare. Prove it to me."
"Try me."
"Your cabin?"
"Fine."
"You got a roommate right?"
"Don't bother him. If we're lucky he might already asleep like log already"
"If not?"
"Think that as a charity. We can entertain him, no? Though Ton hardly bothered with anything, he had the nerves of a stone. Besides it's a share fair for all hardships he put me through this morning."
"Uh... Fine?"
"Get on the mattress?"
"Let's see how good you are."
They grinned at each other as they tug the other person's hair. Their lips locked briefly into a wild dancing with a smile across it.
"Bring it on."

Trivia.
1) the tall bearded guy standing near Elizaveta in the hall is Turkey-san.
2) Antonio almost fell over the door when he came back and found those two doing "that" but in 10 seconds he decide to not be bothered, go to his own bed and try to unsee and sleep despite all the noises those two across his bed made. It was a rather torturing night ^^;
3) Ludwig sleep with Gil's friend that is? guess who. the clue is someone who pushed around by Prussia, cannot refuse people's request and big hearted enough to unsee what the kid's brother going to do while he had take care of Ludwig. :D
