[339] Banging Against the Wall

Chapter 339: Banging Against the Wall

"Ah!"

Surprised by Hachiman suddenly picking her up, Mafuyu exclaimed.

"Let go of me!"

"Relax, it'll be over soon."

Ignoring her struggles, Hachiman asked Raphiel.

"Is it over now?"

"Nope," Raphiel said with a smirk. "You have to hold her for thirty seconds."

"Okay," Hachiman nodded, then looked at Mafuyu in his arms. "Hang in there, Sensei. Just thirty seconds."

Thirty...seconds. Making a student endure being held like a princess for thirty seconds in front of everyone.

Humiliating!

No, I have to get down.

With this thought, Mafuyu struggled harder, but her efforts were futile against Hachiman's strength.

At that moment, Raphiel's light voice reached Mafuyu's ears.

"If your feet touch the ground before thirty seconds, we'll start over."

Hearing this, Mafuyu froze in place. Because they were at the beach, everyone was dressed lightly, including herself, wearing a swimsuit with a white shirt on top, exposing her fair legs.

Hachiman could feel the smoothness of Mafuyu's legs against his hands, and she could feel the roughness of his palms, causing a blush to rise on her face.

Thirty seconds passed quickly, and Hachiman gently let her down.

As Mafuyu stood on the ground again, she felt a bit weak in the legs, almost stumbling, but Hachiman caught her in time.

"Sensei, are you okay?" Hachiman asked with a hint of concern.

Humiliating!

Who do you think caused me to end up like this?

Mafuyu glared at him fiercely.

Hachiman responded with an innocent look.

Unexpectedly, the two of them were still gazing at each other tenderly after the embrace, making some of the girls feel a bit uncomfortable.

After all, there were a few who hadn't been princess-carried by Hachiman yet.

But at that moment, Raphiel's voice broke the silence.

"The second round can begin now."

Upon hearing this, Hachiman and Mafuyu returned to their positions.

Soon enough, the second round of the King's Game began.

Everyone drew their cards again.

"I have a feeling I'm the King this time," Yumiko said confidently.

But the next moment, her face froze, clearly indicating she didn't draw the King's card.

Raphiel flipped her card once again. "Too bad, Miura-san, I'm still the King this time."

"This time's command is Number 3 to wall-slam Number 5."

Huh?

Hachiman was genuinely starting to doubt now. His card was indeed Number 3, being chosen twice in a row, was it really just luck?

At that moment, Yumiko stood up.

"Damn, it's me. Who's Number 3?"

Clearly, Yumiko's card was Number 5.

"It's me," Hachiman flipped his card.

"Ugh..."

Seeing it was Hachiman again, Yumiko's body trembled slightly. However, being the strong-willed girl she was, she wouldn't back down easily.

"Hmph, bring it on. Who's afraid of who?"

With that, she leaned against the wall, hands on her hips.

Seeing Yumiko ready, Hachiman didn't hesitate. He shrugged and walked over.

Although she appeared tough on the outside, when Hachiman stood in front of her, a blush crept onto Yumiko's face.

"Hurry up, the sooner, the better," Yumiko continued to put on a brave front.

Seeing her like this, Hachiman didn't hesitate either. With a swift movement, he leaned his arm against the wall near her ear.

Seeing Hachiman's hand so close to her ear and the short distance between them, Yumiko's blush deepened.

Damn it, why is he getting so close?

Does he want to kiss me or something?

No, I can't, there are so many people watching. If he really tries to kiss me, I'll lose all my dignity.

Although she thought this, Yumiko didn't make any move to avoid him.

As the distance between them closed, Hachiman could feel Yumiko's gentle breath on his skin.

Seeing Hachiman so close, Yumiko slowly closed her eyes.

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

Does he really think I'll let him kiss me in front of everyone?

Seeing the girl who was prepared for a kiss, Hachiman smirked and turned to Raphiel, who had a joyful smile on her face.

"Can we move on now?"

"Yes, let's start the next round," Raphiel said with a smile.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Yumiko also realized what happened and quickly opened her eyes again. She realized that Hachiman had no intention of kissing her at all. Instead, she foolishly closed her eyes, waiting to be kissed.

Realizing this, Yumiko felt embarrassed and angry. In the end, she stamped her foot in frustration.

"Hmph."

With a light snort, she returned to her seat.

Although she stomped his foot, Hachiman didn't mind. After all, Yumiko's strength was like tickling to him now.

But he would remember this foot-stomping.

Since you want to be kissed, then I'll make sure to kiss you plenty tonight.

Watching Yumiko's retreating figure, Hachiman's lips curved into a mischievous smile.

...

Soon, the third round of the King's Game began.

"Oh la la, I'm so lucky! I'm the King again," Raphiel exclaimed joyfully, holding up the Joker card.

Seeing this scene, Hachiman's suspicions grew heavier.

Once could be luck, twice could be coincidence, but what about three times?

You must be cheating.

Picking up his card, Hachiman carefully felt the paper in his hand. Sure enough, he sensed a faint holy aura emanating from the card, corresponding to the number on it.

Not just his card, but all the cards had this holy aura.

With the holy aura marking the cards, the numbers on them were practically revealed to Raphiel.

This realization made Hachiman smirk, and his gaze towards Raphiel held a hint of helplessness.

Feeling Hachiman's gaze, the mischievous angel winked at him.

"This time's command is for Number 1 to feed Number 12."

Hachiman sighed and flipped over his card.

"It's me, Number 1."

Hearing his words, Yukino couldn't help but look up. Clearly, she was Number 12.

But the girl didn't hesitate, instead, she spoke up openly.

"Come on."
