43 Hatsuse Ino has what!?
[10 minutes later]
?: Checkmate
Xiao Qiangwei and Sora were sitting in the ground, facing each other, between them there was a chessboard with the pieces put around, the black part lost, while the white part won.
…
…
Xiao Qiangwei was the black part.
Sora won the bet, and so Xiao Qiangwei will participate at the bet with the Seiren Queen. Chess was not a game based on luck, and this was known from everyone, unless you are Xiao Qiangwei, you can't do random moves and need to think to a strategy.
But between luck and plan, the latter would win no matter how lucky one is, it was hard for Sora trying to win because any move Xiao Qiangwei could do took him to more than a million of different combinations.
But with removing each other's pieces and the movement they took, Sora was able to predict Xiao Qiangwei to a certain point, and win. And even if Xiao Qiangwei had a plan too instead of using random moves, if his luck made him lose, it means that it's better participate in the dating sim than not.
Sora: Huff… I won…
But even if he won, it took him much mental energy to keep up with the game, it was better this than doing the training set Xiao Qiangwei said to do.
Xiao Qiangwei: Alright, I'll play…
Plum: F-Fantastic! We can certainly win if you and Sora will play together! I have prepared a countermeasure too if you need help.
Sora: What countermeasure?
Plum: It is using magic to make the queen forcibly fall in love!
Sora: Oh…
Jibril: ...What does it mean to forcibly fall in love? Because of the Ten Pledges, that shouldn't be possible…
Plum: Yup, it should not be possible under normal circumstances! However, the queen intentionally fell asleep hoping for someone who can make her fall in love… In other words, it is her consent. Thus, we can use this to interfere with her feelings!
Sora: Well, if even I, who does not understand the feeling of love, can be effective in this, I guess there is indeed a way to emerge victorious. Then why don't you try it out on me, and let Shiro be the judge of its effectiveness…
Shiro: ...Can't…
Shiro tugged on Sora's shirt, to avoid that he walks forward.
Sora: Eh? What is it? Shiro.
Shiro: ...Can't.
Sora: …
Shiro: ...Nii…. If I fall in love… I don't know… What I'd do…
Sora: Sh-Shiro… Are you doubting your brother's iron will?!
Xiao Qiangwei: You are just a failure, boy.
His words, like an arrow, painfully pierced Sora's chest, while Miko began to giggle at the scene in front of her.
Miko: ...Alright, why don't you try it on me?
Sora: Miko-sama?
Miko: I, too, do not understand the feelings of love, so this should not be a problem, right?
Shiro: ...Can it… Be undone?
Plum: Eh? It-It can! No problems at all!
Miko: Hahaha, feel at ease. The type I like is different from that.
Sora, not understanding what they were talking about, tugged on Xiao Qiangwei's shirt.
Sora: ...Do you understand what those two are talking about?
XIao Qiangwei: Don't worry…
The Miko appeared in front of Plum and said.
Miko: Come one, weren't you going to try it out on me?
Plum: Y-Yes. Then, everyone…
He took a deep breath and his wings spreaded out while he spoke.
Plum: When lacking the supply of blood, this magic cannot be used too many times, so please pay attention!!
Complex patterns emerged in Plum's eyes, and a breeze blew within the room, with irregular vibrations and uncountable red lines scuttling, the room was dyed red.
The irregular streaks of red looked like veins. They gradually corroded until they reached Plum's right hand. That hand began to move again, slowly and complexly.
The only ones who could sense the magic were Izuna, Miko, Xiao Qiangwei, and only Jibril was able to identify the spell used.
After a few seconds, Plum slowly brought his palm to Miko, then everything turned back to normal.
Miko: ...What? Was the magic carried out well?
Plum: Right! After this would be… Sora-sama or Xiao-sama… Rub Miko-sama's chest!
Sora/Miko/Xiao Qiangwei: Huh?
Plum: After this command… The spell will be… Complete!
Sora and Xiao Qiangwei exchanged a glance, before Sora, with a nosebleed, pushed Xiao Qiangwei forward.
Sora: 'T-This is too much for me…'
Xiao Qiangwei looked back at Sora with a dumbfounded face, before looking back at Miko's chest, admiring it for an instant, then he asked.
Xiao Qiangwei: So, it's alright?
Miko: ...Well, I agreed to try it out… But I'm very unhappy that none of this was stated in advance.
Xiao Qiangwei shrugged and laid an hand over Miko's breast, before rubbing them and applying a bit of pressure, the Miko was frowning in displeasure, before her gaze was slowly changing into one of intoxication.
Miko: Wh-What is this? This feeling that makes all the hair on my body stand on edge… This sickening barf-worthy smile, from being in a bad mood then now with a fire burning inside… Oh-Oh right, is this… Is this what love is!?
Xiao Qiangwei: 'Yeah, fuck you too, woman…'
Xiao Qiangwei's eyebrow twitched in annoyance, and stopped massaging her breast while looking back at Miko, who was glancing at him with a disgusted gaze.
Miko: Th-This is probably love. It's obviously impossible, but I can assert that I've fallen for Qiangwei, and so… This nauseating feeling is called love…. What a wonderful world we're in.
Xiao Qiangwei was slowly getting pissed off from her gaze, which was as if she was looking at an insect… Like other people…
[Flashback]
Xiao Qiangwei was following a blonde man with a smile on his face, the blonde man was around the Golden Earth 2nd Stage, while Xiao Qiangwei was at the Mortal Earth 2nd Stage, he currently had 11 years.
The man was wearing royal clothes, he was the prince that he served under, a man that should be favored from the heavens due to his gentleness.
While Xiao Qiangwei was wearing simple clothes, but with the drawing of a black flower with 9 petals, it was the symbol of the kingdom he lived in, the Divine Flower's Kingdom.
It was the second strongest Kingdom, and had under its hand many powerful clans, which some of them had some members at the Immortal Existence stage, but they were really old.
While Xiao Qiangwei was following his prince, many people looked down at him, because everyone didn't had any hope for the prince, and so their disdain fell on Xiao Qiangwei, too.
He hated those eyes, following him day and night, there was always someone stronger or older than him that looked at him with such eyes… It made him really angry.
[Back]
Xiao Qiangwei: Oi, Plum, what the fuck should happen now?
Plum: Alright, Xiao-sama, Miko-sama must have identified disgust as the feeling of love! Now, if you strike while the iron is hot, and tell her the most disgusting of disgusting lines you have!
Xiao Qiangwei: ...Sora, Jibril, close Shiro and Izuna's ears.
Sora and Jibril did as he said, now only Plum, Miko, Sora and Jibril could listen to his words.
Xiao Qiangwei: *Cough* 'I can't believe I'm saying this right now…' I will treat you like my and everyone's cum-dumpster, until you will beg me to even touch me.
Xiao Qiangwei's eye twitched when he saw Miko's reaction to his words. She was looking at him with a gaze as if telling him "Just die", "Scum", "Go to hell", but her words...
Miko: Ahhh… You can't, Qiangwei… You can't! If you talk like that… Wouldn't that make me fall for you even harder?
She was speaking with a tone filled with sweet and honey, but her expression was completely different.
Xiao Qiangwei: Ok, fuck this shit, I'll end it myself.
His eyes twitched for a moment, and his Immortal Senses exploded in the room, it didn't hurt anyone, but, except Jibril, everyone could feel as if they were in the deep ocean, unable to move like they wished, even more so Sora and Shiro, unable to even breathe at all.
The spell was destroyed immediately and the Immortal Senses vanished.
Xiao Qiangwei: *Sigh* Sorry, Miko, I didn't really wanted to say those words...
Miko: Ahhh, such an interesting experience… Living for such a long time has its perks. About them, don't worry, I know you were only thinking about a disgusting line…
Xiao Qiangwei turned towards Plum and asked.
Xiao Qiangwei: If this was the countermeasure then why you didn't use it on the Dhampirs?
Plum: Because the Dhampirs' last male is still a child… And the queen requested for a prince… This magic is an illusion that feigns one's cognition… It works best when used with a male with reproductive capabilities.
Xiao Qiangwei: *Sigh* Alright, Plum… Don't use that spell on the Queen otherwise I might break the 1st Pledge… Guys, we must raise the chances to win, Miko, do you know anyone who can help us with this?
Miko stood silent for a moment before saying something that would break everyone's edge of reason.
Miko: ...Hatsuse Ino, that man should have about thirty wives.
Xiao Qiangwei and Sora started to cough in shock, they kneeled in the ground incredulously while they were coughing out the saliva that entered in their throats and choked them.
Xiao Qiangwei: *Cough* *Cough* W...What!?
