章節 344: Competition Between Raphiel and Ren

"Isn't it normal to get a punishment like this? If you lose, you have to accept the punishment. It makes sense." Raphiel said without beating around the bush. "Could it be that the future Ruler of the Demon Realm, Satania, just because of a loss, you plan to fail to pay your debts? Doing that would tarnish your reputation."

"If you want to default on the debt, just let it go."

As if she had been stabbed at a painful point, Satania denied her statement quite firmly, then took off her black coat and set it aside, revealing a pink T-shirt underneath.

"She is indeed the future Ruler of the Demon Realm, Satania-sama." Raphiel clasped her hands together and boasted.

"Isn't that normal?"

Hearing this, Satania puffed up her chest proudly.

Vigne, standing beside her, gently nudged Gabriel with her hand and asked in confusion, "When did we have a rule that we should be punished if we lose?"

As the referee, she wasn't even aware of this rule; could she have forgotten it?

"I don't know why there's this punishment, but the one who lost is Satania. Even if there is such a rule, it has nothing to do with me." Gabriel said indifferently.

This is a competition with Satania. As long as it's not something requiring physical strength, there's no way she could lose.

So, she doesn't need to worry about losing her clothes.

"It's okay."

Vigne wanted to say something else, but seeing Gabriel's indifferent gaze, she chose not to say it.

"Gabriel, let's play another one. I just made a mistake; otherwise, I would definitely beat you."

After some praise from Raphiel, Satania quickly regained her confidence, in other words, she never lost her confidence and challenged Gabriel again.

"Satania, you only have one piece of clothing now, so don't continue."

Seeing she hadn't given up yet, Vigne pulled at the hem of her shirt and reminded her.

Now Satania is only wearing a T-shirt on top and shorts on the bottom.

Ren is here. If Satania loses, no matter which of the two pieces of clothing she takes off, there will be a big problem.

"Yes, you better give up so you won't have to take off your clothes later." Gabriel persuaded her.

"How about you surrender here, Satania-sama." Raphiel also used her own way to make her surrender. "It's just that you lost to Gabriel in backgammon, it's not a big deal, it won't affect your reputation."

"I won't surrender, Gabriel, come on, let's fight!"

Initially, Satania was slightly shaken by Vigne's persuasion, but after hearing Gabriel's taunts and Raphiel's reminder, she became more determined to compete with Gabriel.

She is the future demon lord; how could she lose to mere angels?

"This..."

Seeing her not worried at all, Vigne didn't know what to say and could only let her do it.

The worst-case scenario, after Satania loses, she could be punished in a different way.

She is sure that Gabriel will definitely not refuse such a request.

Besides, there's a man here.

"All right."

Facing her challenge again, Gabriel agreed uninterestedly.

Playing mind games like this with an idiot like Satania is just one-sided oppression.

Soon, Gabriel and Satania played their second game.

As Ren watched the Go match as a spectator, Raphiel suddenly approached and said softly, "Kamikawa, want to compete?"

Before he could answer, Gabriel, next to her, was the first to realize Raphiel's initiative to approach Ren.

So, Gabriel began to eavesdrop while Satania was still hesitant about what action to take.

"What kind of competition?"

Ren didn't mind competing with Raphiel since he had no work now, it would be nice to compete with her to pass the time.

"How about guessing a coin? Who is luckier?" Raphiel took out a hundred yen coin and asked him.

"Sure."

The game is fair, and Ren has no reason to refuse.

"The one who loses, like Gabriel and Satania, has to take off one piece of clothing." Seeing him agree, Raphiel stated the punishment with a smile.

"Okay."

The punishment is just taking off clothes, which is entirely within his acceptance range.

"In that case, it's settled."

Raphiel didn't expect Ren to agree.

"Kamikawa, I only have one chance." Seeing her thin white shirt, Raphiel said with a chuckle.

Since it's almost summer, the clothes she's wearing are relatively light; it seems she's only wearing a short-sleeved white T-shirt.

And Vigne and Satania are only wearing additional coats on the outside, and they all wear the same clothes at the bottom.

"Yeah." Ren nodded.

"If that's the case, to be fair, let's toss the coin, and let Vigne do it."

Because of that, Raphiel waved towards Vigne and signaled her.

"Are you sure you want to play?"

After approaching and learning about the punishment and rules for both of them, Vigne asked with concern.

It's okay if Ren loses. Anyway, he's a guy. Even if he shows his upper body, it doesn't matter. At most, it will make them embarrassed.

However, if Raphiel loses, there will be a big problem.

"It will definitely be played; we've agreed on it."

Saying this, Raphiel handed the coin to Vigne.

"Raphi, why are you doing this?" After taking the coin, Vigne approached Raphiel's ear and asked in confusion.

Logically, she didn't need to play this game with Ren at all.

There's no benefit in winning, but something will happen if she loses.

"Of course, this is for fun. Don't you think it's interesting?" Raphiel looked towards Gabriel and found that she was glancing in their direction from time to time, and the smile on her face became brighter.

"It does seem fun, but does it have to be like this?" Vigne was still a little hesitant.

Raphiel patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay; I only took off one piece of clothing."

"In that case, I'll toss it."

Seeing that she had no intention of retracting her words, Vigne had no choice but to toss the coin into the air, flipping it a few times, and then catching it firmly.

After taking a deep breath, she nervously said to both of them, "You can guess it now."
