Chapter 338: [338] The King's Game

Chapter 338: The King's Game

After dinner, the girls rested together in the living room, and a few girls skilled in tea art brewed a cup of green tea for everyone.

Their slender, delicate fingers moved gracefully in the air, tracing beautiful patterns as they prepared the tea. The delicate aroma filled the room, creating a serene atmosphere.

Taking the cup of green tea handed to him by Saeko, Hachiman took a sip. The tea slid down his throat smoothly, leaving a lingering fragrance and relaxing his body involuntarily.

As they sipped their tea, the girls relaxed and reminisced about the delicious meal they had just enjoyed.

Taking a sip of her tea, Komachi asked, "Onii-chan, what should we do tonight?"

"What do you girls want to do?" Hachiman calmly threw the question back at them.

Hearing his question, the girls quickly voiced their ideas.

"Play Ouija."

"Song lyric relay."

"Tell stories."

"I just want to quietly play games."

...

Watching the girls express their preferences, Hachiman remained silent, simply sipping his tea.

At that moment, Raphiel raised a finger and suggested an idea.

"How about we play the King's Game?"

"Huh? The King's Game..."

Upon hearing this suggestion, many of the girls' eyes lit up.

The King's Game, as they called it, had simple rules and could accommodate up to 14 players.

Each player drew a card with a number from A to K and a Joker. A represented 1, and the number on the card represented the player's identity. The player who drew the Joker became the "King" for that round.

The "King" could give commands to two or three players of their choice, such as having Player 2 carry Player 5 and spin three times, or having Player 1 give Player 7 a piggyback ride, and everyone had to obey the King's orders.

Because all players' identity cards were face down, no one knew who was who, eliminating any targeted actions.

The idea was quickly met with unanimous approval from everyone.

However, due to the participant limit, a few people couldn't join, such as Komachi, Kokoro, and the lazy angel Gabriel. Additionally, Vignette, who was shy and feared embarrassing tasks, opted out too.

Excluding these four, there were exactly fourteen participants.

Hachiman also considered opting out, but Raphiel stopped him. She argued that since he was the only guy, his participation was crucial for the game's dynamics.

Hearing this, Hachiman smirked inwardly.

It's because of this mischievous angel stirring up trouble, isn't it?

With that thought, he couldn't help but glance at Raphiel, who always wore a smile.

Sensing Hachiman's gaze, Raphiel winked at him, flashing a playful smile.

It's undeniable, in the end, appearances matter.

Even though he knew this mischievous one wanted to stir up trouble, seeing her smile, Hachiman couldn't bring himself to dislike her.

With the participants finalized, Raphiel smiled and announced, "Since everyone seems okay with it, let's get started."

The group gathered in a circle as Raphiel shuffled the cards, placing them in the center.

"Okay, everyone, let's draw a card."

Since it was the same deck, there wasn't much difference in the backs, so everyone randomly drew one.

Hachiman glanced at his card, a red eight of hearts, unsure who the King was.

Then, Raphiel revealed her card, declaring, "Looks like luck is on my side. I'm the King for the first round."

Now that the King was determined, everyone waited for her commands.

Raphiel scanned the faces, contemplating her command.

After a moment, she smiled faintly. "Then, Number 8, please give Number 11 a piggyback ride."

Seeing himself chosen by the mischievous angel, Hachiman couldn't help but be surprised.

Could it be that I have bad luck?

Thinking to himself and muttering quietly, he flipped over his number card.

"I'm Number 8. Who's Number 11?"

Upon hearing Hachiman's question, the girls looked at each other, clearly none of them was Number 11.

Just then, Mafuyu's body trembled slightly.

Seated next to her, Shizuka naturally noticed this and couldn't help but ask, "Kirisu-sensei, are you okay?"

"I... I'm Number 11." Mafuyu revealed her number card.

To be lifted in a princess carry by a student.

I'm a teacher, after all.

Thinking this, Mafuyu weakly spoke up, "Can we change it?"

Unfortunately, Raphiel, who had intended to stir up trouble from the start, wouldn't let this opportunity slip away.

"Nope, sorry. It's the rules of the game, and everyone agreed earlier. As a teacher, Kirisu-sensei wouldn't want to go back on her word, right?"

This mischievous angel was adept at reading people, so she had long since grasped Mafuyu's weakness.

Sure enough, upon hearing Raphiel's words, Mafuyu immediately retorted.

"How could I? As a teacher, I would never go back on my word."

"Then, Kirisu-sensei, please follow the command." Raphiel smiled faintly.

After saying this, she winked at Hachiman.

Feeling somewhat helpless, Hachiman didn't say anything, and walked directly toward Mafuyu.

Seeing him approach, Mafuyu took a small step back, her face filled with caution.

"What do you intend to do?"

"Of course, I'm just following the command." Hachiman shrugged.

Upon hearing his words, Mafuyu's face flushed slightly.

Was he really going to lift her in a princess carry?

From childhood to now, she had never had intimate contact with the opposite sex.

From elementary to high school, all her time was devoted to figure skating. After transferring to the education industry in college, she had to start over from scratch, so her experience with opposite-sex interactions was almost zero, let alone intimate contact.

Seeing Hachiman standing in front of her, Mafuyu whispered softly, "I'm your teacher!"

A teacher? What about it?

Do you know that there's a saying: "With courage, even teachers can take maternity leave."

And it's just a princess carry, nothing serious. In France, they even have a kissing greeting.

Thinking this, without waiting for Mafuyu to say anything else, Hachiman bent down and lifted her legs, picking her up in a princess carry.

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."
