Miss Heir wasn't very kind to me.

Chapter 191, Section 32: "To avoid bloodshed, humanity invented games, but the result was rivers of blood."

After noon, the weather forecast showed that the typhoon had left Miyako Island and was heading north towards Okinawa Island, and the rain had subsided considerably.

The power to the guesthouse has also been restored.

"Phew! Is the typhoon finally over?"

Asami placed her right ankle on her thigh, while her left foot remained on the floor. She sat cross-legged on the sofa and stretched.

Her shapely figure was gracefully stretched out beneath the tank top, with her shoulder blades and the deep grooves of her spine outlining a beautiful shape.

"That doesn't seem to affect our afternoon flight."

“It’s not over yet,” Masumi said. “We have to transfer in Naha on our way back, and we’ll have to stay on Miyako Island until the typhoon completely leaves the Ryukyu Islands.”

"so."

Mami responded casually, then, as if remembering something, asked:

"By the way, is the guesthouse okay? Masumi-kun should only be renting it until today, right?"

"The landlord said I could stay until the typhoon passes."

"So understanding!" Mami gently clasped her hands together and smiled. "I've met a kind person!"

"After all, no more tourists will come to this island before the typhoon leaves."

Where is the typhoon now?

"They should be close to Okinawa Island by now."

Qian Ai looked out the window and exaggeratedly rubbed her hands together repeatedly, saying, "My Lord God, please let the typhoon leave quickly."

"Eh, does Chiai really not want to stay on Miyako Island any longer?"

As if nothing had happened, I casually peeked out from Qian'ai's shoulder and familiarly wrapped my head around her back.

"Sister Qian Sui!" Qian Ai turned around in surprise and found that stunningly beautiful face was right in front of her at close range. She screamed like a frog being stared at by a snake.

I, like a thousand-year-old ancient man, revealed a wicked smile.

"Could it be that you're afraid I'll steal your Masumi-nii away?"

"That's part of the reason..." Qian'ai blurted out her thoughts without thinking.

"Ok?"

I, like an ancient thousand-year-old, squinted my eyes.

"No, that's because of university courses, Chitose-nee."

Qian Ai couldn't help but sing off-key, replying in a broken voice, "It's alright to stay until Tuesday, I have a professional class on Wednesday."

Seeing the flustered expression on the childhood sweetheart's face, I, like a thousand-year-old ancient hero, curled up my lips in delight.

◇

"How about playing games to pass the time?"

After lunch, with nothing to do on this rainy day, Mami suggested playing games.

“I brought my Switch with me.”

Asami pulled out a game console from her luggage. It was a Sprague limited edition, with a striking fluorescent yellow-green and blue-purple controller shell.

"How are we supposed to play all these games on such small consoles?" Qian Ai wondered.

"Chiai really doesn't play games. If we connect it to the TV and switch to console mode to play Super Smash Bros., up to eight people can play together."

Asami smiled as if to reassure her.

"I've prepared lots of controllers so everyone can have fun together."

She turned her backpack upside down, the black plastic handles clattering against each other as it landed on the sofa.

"So many!" Masumi exclaimed, dumbfounded.

"If we split the Joycon into two, that makes a total of seven people."

"This controller is for Miss Rugu to use."

Asami handed me the Switch Pro Controller that I could hold with both hands, like a thousand years old.

"Thank you, Mami, but I don't play video games much, so I'll just use this small one."

I, like an ancient thousand-year-old, politely declined with a smile.

Rinne: "I'm not good at playing games."

Kurokawa Mio: "I'm not really interested either."

Haiyue remained as natural as ever, while Masumi and Chiai had "participation is what matters" written all over their faces.

"Hey, everyone, let's cheer up a little!"

Asami pouted as if she was being difficult, but the next moment her eyes shone with an eerie light.

Masumi knew that expression all too well; it was the look of someone who had come up with another terrible idea.

"I've got it! Since it's a game, how about we add a prize?"

Her lips outlined a smooth curve as she made this suggestion to the crowd.

Sensing danger keenly, Masumi interjected, "Great idea! How about the last person to go buy everyone a drink?"

"Wait a minute! What kind of high school game punishment is that, Masumi-kun?"

Mami, looking troubled, lifted her bangs and said, "You're a 22-year-old adult male."

"A man remains a boy until he dies."

“That’s right. It’s precisely because we’re teenagers that we have those kinds of thoughts.” She smiled teasingly. “Adolescence is the most restless time.”

This guy actually said it so bluntly without any attempt to hide it.

Masumi stared in disbelief and sighed, "So, what kind of prize do you want?"

"Similar to the rules of yesterday's King's Game, the first-place player can command the last-place player, how about that?"

"Is it this rule again?" Kurokawa Mio rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "The wish that couldn't be fulfilled yesterday...maybe it can be fulfilled this time."

"May I ask what the specifics of Mio's wish are?" Masumi asked cautiously, hoping for the best.

"of course."

Kurokawa Mio smiled gently, "After all, there's no need to hide this from the person involved. I plan to do something even more intense than kissing Masumi."

"Something even more amazing than kissing!" Qian Ai blushed.

If this were on a university campus, she would probably have become a disciplinary committee member blowing the whistle.

Kurokawa Mio nodded, revealing a disdainful smile.

"That's right, let's make this clear before we begin, Rinne and Chiai, the loser isn't allowed to interfere with other people's love lives, okay?"

"What a vulgar idea."

Rinne crossed her arms and said nonchalantly.

Kurokawa Mio scoffed at Rinne's words.

"And what about Rinne?"

"Let me guess, you want to pretend to be a cat, meowing to lower people's guard, and then approach Masumi, rubbing against him affectionately?"

The heiress rubbed her forehead and said, "Isn't Mio ashamed to say these things?"

"But that's exactly how you look, even your tail is wagging."

"Did you see a mirage?" Rinne calmly retorted.

"Oh my, this mirage is actually tangible!"

Kurokawa Mio reached out and grabbed Rinne's arm, her pale fingers digging into her skin. Rinne glanced at her lightly.

She was wearing a white T-shirt with a dark brown cartoon cat pattern in the middle of the chest. As Rinne tilted her head, the cat's expression also distorted, as if it were hissing.

But Kurokawa Mio didn't care. She grabbed Rinne's slender wrist with her fingers and roughly rubbed Rinne's arm like she was petting a cat.

"Mio too, she's clearly still awake, but she's talking in her sleep!"

As if seeking revenge, Rinne grabbed the sleeve of Kurokawa Mio's silk pajamas.

"What, does Rinne want to decide the winner before the game even starts?" Kurokawa Mio sneered, closing the distance between them in one breath.

The two, who had been at odds, suddenly moved very close together.

However, if two beautiful women with good figures stare at each other at close range, it will turn into a situation where tectonic plates collide.

Mount Haruna in Gunma Prefecture bullies Mount Takao in Tokyo. Because the former is three times higher than the latter, Mio Kurokawa's momentum immediately diminishes, and her face turns gloomy.

She bit her lip in frustration, lowered her head, and muttered something.

Sitting at one end of the sofa, Masumi broke out in a cold sweat. If she lost the next game and came in last place, she would probably lose something precious that she hadn't deliberately kept but still had.

"--Excuse me."

Suddenly, I, like an ancient sage, raised my hand and asked, "I have a question to ask."

"Miss Rugu, please speak."

As Mami connected the game console to the TV, she said.

"I imagine none of you here have played this game before. If it's a winner-takes-all rule, Mami will probably always have the upper hand, which isn't fair to the others, is it?"

“Chitose is right.” Chiai nodded in agreement. “This way, it will become Asami’s playground all to herself.”

"Then, as Miss Gu suggests, what is your opinion—"

“Let’s add another rule: if Masumi isn’t last, she can give an order to someone else once, provided that the order Masumi gives to each girl is the same and she doesn’t discriminate.”

"how?"

Upon hearing my suggestion, Ru Gu Qiansui, the girls exchanged bewildered glances.

Rinne nodded, her face maintaining its usual indifferent expression, and said:
"I agree, this is definitely better than being dominated by Mami throughout the whole game." "Dominate her? Why do you make me sound like a demon king?"

Upon hearing this, Mami puffed out her chest triumphantly, seemingly quite pleased with the wording.

“I can barely accept it if everyone receives the same orders,” Kurokawa Mio replied. “However—”

Changing the subject abruptly, she stared intently at Masumi: "Masumi, you can't just give an order, okay? You have to be frank about what you want. Understand?"

"Ah, um, of course."

Her soft voice made Masumi's heart skip a beat, and she nodded reluctantly.

"In that case, let's begin the game, everyone!"

At Mami's urging, everyone's desires surged, and each person picked up a controller.

The game they wanted to play was called Super Smash Bros., a multiplayer fighting game.

The game features classic characters from the Switch console, and uses "knockback points" instead of health points. Victory is achieved by knocking the opponent's character out of the arena.

Masumi nodded. "That sounds pretty simple."

"No, no, no! Masumi-kun." Asami shook her head. "It looks simple, but it's actually profound."

"Since accumulated damage increases the knockback rate, you can't just focus on your ultimate move, you also need to pay attention to your regular skills. There are many strategies for maintaining your own rhythm in battle."

"But there's no use saying all this. I'll lead you through one practice session first. This round doesn't count as a win or a loss."

The seven people began to choose their roles.

Masumi chose a beautiful girl who can freely switch between short red hair and long blonde hair.

"Huh? Masumi-kun actually chose Light/Flame."

Upon seeing this, Mami gave a meaningful smile.

What's wrong with this character?

"Masumi-kun hasn't played this game? The lines in it are very famous."

"I love Nia, and I love everyone."

"It sounds like a line from a classic shonen manga protagonist in Weekly Shonen Jump," Masumi said.

“That’s right.” Mami nodded, suppressing a laugh. “However… this is the game’s male protagonist’s response when one of the female protagonists, Nia, confesses her feelings, but he misunderstands her intentions.”

She then briefly recited the lines from the game.

Nia: "I can live freely, I can be even more willful, right!?... I love you the most, Lex!"

Lex: "I like you too, Nia!"

Nia: "Huh? (Eyes widen)"

Lex: "I love Nia, and everyone else!"

"..."

Masumi remained silent. As a beginner, none of the game characters mattered to him; he simply chose one that caught his eye based on instinct.

“Ugh, that girl named Nia sounds so pitiful,” Qian Ai said, covering her mouth with her hands.

For some reason, she seemed to empathize with "Nia" that Mami mentioned, her eyes trembling and glistening with tears.

“That’s right, but the ending is quite happy,” Mami said, her smile deepening.

"In the end, the male protagonist gets together sweetly with the three female protagonists of this work: Hikari and Homura, who are the game characters chosen by Masumi-kun, and this Miss Nia, and each of them has a son."

"Wow, what an amazing guy."

I smiled slightly, as if talking about something that would give Masumi a headache.

"To successfully date multiple women at the same time, you need determination, a sense of responsibility, and thoughtfulness. You also have to allocate your time with each woman equally, otherwise the neglected woman will be pitiful."

Masumi ignored the meaningful glances she kept giving him.

"Let's start playing the game."

"Kurokawa Mio said expressionlessly."

The first game was a practice session. Each person was given five lives, and the game was very chaotic, with skills and items flying everywhere.

As expected, Asami won, and Masumi came in last place.

"Hey, stop focusing on me all the time," Masumi said, putting down the controller and rubbing her forehead.

In his first life, he was thrown off the screen by Mami's throwing technique. He managed to land with a recovery technique, only to be knocked away by Rinne from the same platform with a long-range shot.

His second life was brutally murdered by Kirby in the Moonlight – first, he was unexpectedly swallowed by her, and then every time Masumi in her Light Form was knocked away by her skills, he was able to float back into the field, and finally take down Masumi with a heavy hammer.

Her third life ended with Mio, who haunted her like a vengeful spirit, and her fourth life was defeated by Mami's dazzling combos.

His last life was defeated by Chiai, who picked up the item.

"Hey Masumi-kun, your skills are really terrible."

Mami looked at Masumi with a grin, while the latter looked dejected. This was really not good.

"Little Moon is quite talented; she has mastered Kirby's Jump and Return Moves very well."

"Gently... loosely..."

Haiyue narrowed her eyes slightly, and a sweet and gentle smile appeared on her lips.

Kurokawa Mio bit her lip in frustration, "I lost... Asami-san is indeed very strong, but I won't give up easily so that I can be intimate with Masumi."

“If Mio only focuses on Masumi and doesn’t pay attention to the fate of others, she will naturally lose,” Rinne said mercilessly from the side.

"What right does Rinne, who has always targeted me, have to say such things?"

Kurokawa Mio implied that the two people's conversation seemed to be subtly veering away from the realm of games.

"Wait! Rinne, Mio-neechan, you two stop arguing!" Chiai interjected to save the day, "This is the first time we've all played this game, we should stick together against Asami-neechan."

"Sister Asami..." "Miss Asami..."

Rinne and Kurokawa Mio exchanged a blank glance, then nodded.

"Oh dear, are you targeting me? Bring it on."

Asami exaggeratedly rubbed her hands together, perhaps wanting to emulate the main villain in anime.

The game with stakes has officially begun.

From the very beginning, Rinne, Mio Kurokawa, and Chiai set their sights on Mami, attacking her Cool King from three sides.

My Pikachu, controlled by the legendary Rugu, and Snorlax, controlled by Haiyue, went toe-to-toe with each other.

The six girls were locked in a fierce battle, each one seemingly opposed to the other.

Masumi's Hikari/Homura stood on a platform to the side, like an outsider, avoiding being affected by their skills. Huh? There's absolutely no space for her to fight.

Masumi immediately realized something was wrong and blurted out:
"Wait! You guys aren't faking it, are you!?"

Chiai looked up in surprise, “Huh! How did Masumi-nii realize it so quickly?”

"Your plan has been discovered, Mio," Rinne said calmly.

Kurokawa Mio, seemingly unafraid, casually said, "Since we're not confident of taking first place, the best strategy is to ensure Masumi isn't last."

"Oh dear, Masumi-kun isn't so stupid after all. Too bad, it's too late."

As Mami said this, she manipulated her character to grab and throw Kurokawa Mio's character, causing them to fall straight off the platform and perish together.

She still has one life left, but Mio has already been eliminated with zero lives.

Last place: Kurokawa Mio.

Sixth place: Qian Ai.

Fifth place: I am as old as the ancient times.

Fourth place: Rinne.

Third place: Masumi.

Second place: Haiyue.

First place: Asami.

"This can't be considered a fair fight." Masumi shook her head and sighed at the result.

"There's no such thing as fairness and justice in battle, Masumi-kun."

Asami patted his shoulder earnestly, "Didn't Miyamoto Musashi also cheat when he challenged Sasaki Kojiro?"

Kurokawa Mio said guiltily, "I'm sorry for keeping this from you, Masumi, but this is a choice I made for love, and I hope you can understand."

Although she said that, her fair face was flushed with two red blushes, and she seemed to be in high spirits.

"That's right, Masumi-kun, you can do whatever you want to us, so please don't look so down." Mami smiled teasingly.

"The fog of war has been dispelled, and the King's Game, where anyone can give orders to everyone... Alas! An unprecedented tyrant is about to be born in this island nation!"

Chiai: "What order does Masumi-nii want to give?"

Mio: "I'd do anything for Masumi."

Rinne: "Just so you know... don't go too far, there are so many people here..."

As my senior colleague said, "After all, it's gone too far; even Masumi's body can't handle it."

Haiyue remained silent, only staring intently at him with her blue-green pupils.

The girls' gazes made Masumi feel incredibly pressured.

He certainly didn't intend to issue such an excessive order.

However, if the orders are too boring, such as light punishments like flicking the forehead or telling jokes, it may cause the dissatisfied girl's emotions to swell to the point of explosion.

Under these circumstances, Masumi gave her order—
