Xiaoyu held out the ring she had been wearing on her hand and showed it off to Lily: "Look! This is the ring my husband gave me personally. This is the proof of our love!~"
"Ring... why..."
The blue ring that shone so brightly in the sun turned Lily, whose color had already faded, completely black and white. She couldn't accept this fact. Lily, who was deeply moved, pushed Kyosuke and Xiaoyu away and walked unsteadily on the beach.
"is that OK?"
Looking at Lily's somewhat lonely back, Kyosuke felt a little worried.
"It's okay. Those single-celled organisms will be ready when we eat. Oh, by the way, husband, let me introduce you to this, this is Servant No. 1 after we get married." Xiaoyu hooked her finger at the side, "Hey, come here."
A girl who looked exactly like Tama came over timidly. She was no different from Tama except for her clothes (a maid uniform) and a pair of brown furry gloves. Although she was able to hold back from taking off the hot thing under such strong sunlight, Kyosuke felt her professionalism, but if possible, he still hoped that she would not do so, because it would make him feel very hot.
"You are……"
"She is one of my tails. I didn't eat her because she was quite obedient. After all, someone will have to serve tea and water in the future, right? I think she is enough."
Xiaoyu snuggled in Kyosuke's arms and explained to him, "Hey, why don't you come over and meet your master?"
"Hello, Master. I am Tamamono-neko, the Master and Madam's personal maid. My specialty is vacuum apron service."
Tamamo cat bowed and greeted Kyosuke, and then the next words made Kyosuke almost spit out.
"Hey……"
"My husband, are you moved?" Xiaoyu whispered in Kyosuke's ear, "I specially educated you for my husband."
Kyosuke secretly glanced at Tamamo cat and found that the look in his eyes when he looked at Xiaoyu was full of unwillingness, but also a kind of timidity that was afraid of Xiaoyu in his bones. It was obvious that the two of them were not getting along well during the process of receiving Xiaoyu's [education], and it was obvious that Xiaoyu had an absolute advantage.
"Okay, you can go down."
Xiaoyu signaled to the other party that he could leave, and her disdainful attitude seemed like she was driving away a disobedient wild cat.
"Are you okay with being so nasty to her?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I kept this tail because I thought she had great potential. When I found her, she was still working in a maid cafe. She was really harmless."
"Well, that's your business. Just do what you like."
"Hmm~ It smells so good." Xiaoyu threw herself into Kyousuke's arms again and took a deep breath. "What a pity. Although I really want to stay with my husband, the event is about to start. Xiaoyu will leave first, but don't worry, my husband, Xiaoyu will definitely win and bring my husband home!"
After saying that, Xiaoyu skipped away, but the words she left behind made Kyosuke feel full of crisis. He suddenly felt that it was not safe for him to stay here.
"What kind of work..."
"Hey, stop! Pause!" At this time, a white hand pressed Kyosuke's shoulder, "Now that you have met Ms. Tamamo, it's time for you to meet everyone else."
"Who are you now?"
Kyosuke asked tentatively as he looked at the white-haired man who was holding down his shoulders so that he couldn't move.
"Kyosuke, you really make me so sad. It's only been a short time since we last met and you've already forgotten about me, Merlin~"
It seems that the other person is indeed being controlled by Merlin. After all, Merlin has the bad habit of dressing up as Mary, but Mary definitely has no interest in dressing up as a boy.
"Hello Merlin. Goodbye Merlin."
Kyousuke turned around and wanted to leave
"What a reward for disobedience, Enkidu."
Merlin's words made Enkidu summon chains from the void to tie up Kyosuke. Although Enkidu's Heavenly Chains were only slightly stronger chains for Heroic Spirits without divinity, it was still not something that an ordinary person like Kyosuke could break free from.
"What are you going to do!"
"Prize shut up, you have no human rights."
"What prize? Explain yourself clearly!"
Kyosuke swayed his body and tried to break free, but it was all in vain.
Merlin didn't give any further explanation but dragged Kyosuke to the stage that had been prepared long ago.
"Everyone, did you miss me?!"
Merlin opened his arms as if he wanted to hug everyone, but what greeted him were banana peels and empty cans.
""roll!!"
Without exception, everyone raised their middle fingers toward the stage.
"Haha, you, an online scammer, have come to this day."
Merlin's embarrassed look made Kyosuke laugh heartily, but Merlin himself was not too angry or yelling at the audience. He just took off the banana peel hanging on his face and threw it aside with a calm face.
“Everyone is so enthusiastic~”
How do you see the enthusiasm?
"Okay, enough small talk. Let's invite today's prize to the stage!"
"Oh!!"
The moment Kyosuke was dragged onto the stage by Merlin with chains, everyone in the audience was excited.
"This is the prize for this event. The winner can spend a night alone with Kyousuke, or have our organizer Jill see any of your wishes."
""oh! ""
"Wait a minute, I didn't agree to that!"
"Kyosuke, the organization has already appointed you, just accept it."
Merlin patted Kyousuke's shoulder and explained to him seriously.
"I don't recognize you!"
Chapter 45: Master: Please Make Me Happy
However, Merlin ignored Kyosuke's shouting and continued to talk, "The rules of the competition are very simple. You just need to find Kyosuke on the island and bring him back here. You can form a group of up to three people, but only one person can get Kyosuke. The other two can only ask Jill for gifts."
"As for weapons, because of the joining of new friends and the safety of the prize itself, I have to use something I specially made, which is this." Merlin took out something from his arms that looked like a lightsaber in Star Wars.
"It can be transformed into any shape, and it doesn't matter whether it's far or near." Merlin controlled the things in his hands to transform into swords, knives, sniper rifles and other weapons, and finally even a Gatling machine gun. "All attacks will not cause substantial damage, but only count the points. Everyone can take two. Everyone starts with 100 points. If you are attacked, you will lose 20 points. An effective attack will get 10 points, and if you are the last one to hit the opponent, you will get 30 points. After the end, as long as the participant scores above 100 points, even if they don't win the game, they can still get rich prizes. Any other questions?"
Merlin looked around and found that no one was talking. He nodded and said, "I'll take this as your approval. Then the prizes will come first."
Merlin tapped the stage floor with his staff, and a golden magic circle immediately appeared under Kyosuke's feet.
"This will randomly teleport you to any place on the island. Don't think about just finding someone and giving him the victory. Jill and I have discussed this. If you do this, you will have to bear all the expenses for redecorating the store yourself, and it will be deducted from your salary!"
"Wait a minute, isn't this too much?"
"So you have to try your best not to get caught. Don't worry, the competition will last until the sun sets in the evening. As long as you are not caught before then, you will win. Not only will the decoration fee be waived, but you will also get one of Jill's wishes. Do you understand?"
"..."
"If you don't say anything, I'll assume you understand. Then... three... two... one..."
Merlin raised his staff high, ready to cast a spell, but his body suddenly shuddered and then froze there.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Hey! White Hair, what's wrong with you?!"
The contestants who had been ready to fight in the audience could not tolerate this situation at all and began to protest to the stage.
Merlin didn't say anything, he just stood there blankly looking around. Kyosuke, who was closest to him, even saw the timidity in this guy's eyes.
"Um...Merlin?"
"Ah, it's Kyousuke. It's been a while, how are you doing?"
"What's going on with you? That doesn't make sense...Merry?"
"You're so annoying! It's only been a short time, don't you even recognize me?"
Meili tilted her head and looked at Kyosuke, "What's wrong with you? Is this a new performance art?"
"No, I was tricked by Merlin. Come quickly and help me untie it."
"Oh well."
Meili, who had no idea of the situation, believed what Kyosuke said and went forward to untie the chains on Kyosuke. However, Enkidu rushed onto the stage and interrupted Meili's action.
"I'm sorry, Kyousuke. I didn't mean to be so rude, but since Merlin is gone... just go!"
Enkidu carried Kyosuke, who was tied up like a dumpling, and threw him out.
“Wait a minute! You’re being too rough… Wahhhhhh!!”
"Well, you look very energetic, so I feel relieved."
Seeing Kyosuke Enkidu turning into a shooting star, he nodded and was satisfied with his success. Then he grabbed the microphone that Meili was wearing on her ear and shouted to everyone present: "Then I declare that the competition begins!"
"Oh!!!!"
Everyone's excited roars could even be heard by Kyosuke on the other side of the island.
"These guys really know how to yell, what are they trying to do?"
Kyosuke scratched his ears and said a little depressedly. When he was about to fall to the ground, the chains that were originally tied to his body seemed to come alive and wrapped around the trees around him, preventing him from falling directly to the ground and turning into a meat patty.
Although I was not injured, the feeling of going through so many ups and downs was really uncomfortable.
Under the control of the chains, Kyosuke slowly descended to the ground. After Kyosuke's feet touched the ground, the chains on his body turned into ether and disappeared into the air.
"OK, let me think about it..." Kyosuke took a deep breath to calm himself down, "First of all, the ultimate goal is to never get caught. If that's not possible, then choose a rich man who can help with the renovation costs."
If I surrender to the nanny, she will definitely not refuse my surrender, and she will even take the initiative to settle the renovation costs of my bar. But this is definitely useless. Merlin and Jill's warning to me is not that I should bear the renovation costs myself, but that there will be serious consequences if I take the initiative to pay for it.
Taking the initiative to throw myself into their arms would make them very unhappy. Even if the winner helped me to advance the decoration fee, Jill and others would have many ways to punish me.
"First find a place to hide."
Kyosuke opened the map given to him by Enkidu and began to look for a place suitable for him to hide temporarily.
Kyosuke first denied some places that were more difficult to reach. Such places could only hinder Kirino or Yukino at most, but would have no effect on those heroic spirits who took climbing walls and climbing roofs as easy as walking on the ground. Instead, they would hinder their own movements when they were discovered and moved away.
"Anyway, let's go to the river first."
