Zerg: Why is the Overlord like that?

[Host, this is for Carol, not Honey. Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?]

Upon seeing Jian Chi approaching Hani with a glass of wine, the system immediately issued a reminder.

I know, there's no mistake, don't panic.

The system wanted to say something more, but remembering its earlier determination to no longer doubt its host, it didn't say anything more.

Hani was hiding on the second-floor balcony. When he heard footsteps, he thought it was some insect trying to curry favor with him again, and his face fell.

When he saw Jian Chi, his eyes lit up.

"Brother Chi, where did you go? I couldn't find you anywhere."

"Something came up earlier. What are you doing here all alone?"

"Stop talking! Those bugs are too enthusiastic, I can't handle them!" Hani's round eyes were filled with despair.

Jian Chi chuckled and joked, "Who told you to be the only S-class male insect? Those female insects who approach you probably want to become your female servants."

"I'd rather not have this S-class male insect status!"

When the topic of female servants came up, Hani stammered, "I already have a female ruler, how can I marry a second one? Not even a female servant."

In his mind, it is about monogamy. Even though this is not Earth, he cannot abandon the most important bottom line as a human being.

He will always remember that he is a human being, not an insect.

Therefore, even if his marriage to Admiral Carroll was merely a formality and they did not have a marital relationship, he would never betray his marriage or commit adultery.

Not to mention his relationship with Admiral Carroll...

Are you still troubled?

Hani suddenly heard Jian Chi ask him a question, and then he realized what Jian Chi had said.

He pursed his lips and nodded.

Then a glass of red wine appeared in his line of sight. Hani was stunned and looked at Jian Chi, who handed him the wine, with a puzzled expression.

"Would you like me to drink?"

"No, I want you to give this glass of wine to Admiral Carol. Aren't you struggling with how to treat him? Let him drink this glass of wine, and you'll know."

Hani took the wine, smelled it, but couldn't detect anything, which puzzled him.

"Is this a wine bar? Can we really be sure after he drinks it?"

Jian Chi nodded with a smile and honestly told Hani.

"I put something in there."

She paused, then joked, "Actually, your problem isn't about what kind of relationship you should have with him, but whether he likes you or not, right?"

Hani's eyes widened immediately: "How did you know...?"

Jian Chi knew perfectly well that Hani's behavior was so obvious that there was no need to guess.

"Trust me, once you get him to drink this glass of wine, you'll know exactly how you should interact with him."

Hani was incredibly shy because Jian Chi guessed her thoughts and he also vaguely knew what was in the drink.

"R-really, is that okay?"

"Of course," Jian Chi encouraged him.

Hani hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly.

"I see!"

"Alright, go now. I've arranged a room for you. It's the first one on the left on the third floor. Take Admiral Carol with you. There won't be any bugs bothering you."

Actually, this room was originally the room where Hani and Carol were together in the story. How could a B-grade male insect like him be qualified to arrange this?

However, Hani didn't know.

Hani was deeply moved upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, Brother Chi. Even if Carol questions me later, I won't implicate you. I did everything."

Jian Chi heard what he wanted to hear, left satisfied, and kept his achievements hidden.

[Host, is this really going to work?] The system was still a little unsure.

After all, it's not quite the same as the original text.

Don't worry, trust me.

Given his current animosity with Carol, there's absolutely no way he'd get Carol to drink the wine he offered.

So he took a different approach.

Carol would be suspicious of any wine offered to him by any insect, but not of Hani.

Therefore, having Hani hand it to Carol is the perfect solution.

Although the dosage of that drug filled an entire bottle, it wasn't enough to move Carol's heart.

After all, it's a double S-level mental strength.

But if Carol also likes Honey, then it doesn't matter what the dosage is.

Therefore, the wine does not intoxicate the insects; the insects intoxicate themselves.

However, that medicine also has some side effects. If you drink a lot, such as twice the usual amount, it will take three days to fully relieve the symptoms the first time.

For nearly a month afterward, I needed to take occasional respite.

If it's three times, that's even more incredible. The first time it will take at least half a month, and then it will take three months!

However, it's unlikely that anyone could drink that much.

Who's so reckless as to drink medicine like it's water?

Carol's adjutant, who was secretly following Jian Chi, reported the matter truthfully to Carol.

Carol was somewhat surprised, not expecting that his little lord would actually agree to something like what Jian Chi said.

It seems that the young male protagonist is not as simple as a blank sheet of paper after all...

No, his little male master is the most innocent of all. The reason he agreed must be because he was influenced by that scumbag Jian Chi.

He pondered for a moment, then gave instructions to his adjutant.

"Just pretend you don't know anything about this, and you don't need to keep an eye on Jian Chi anymore."

"Yes," the adjutant replied hastily, then hesitated for a moment before stammering and stopping himself in his tracks.

Carol frowned: "Just say what you have to say."

"Uh, it's that... Admiral Elvis wants me to turn myself in to the Male Insect Protection Association. Admiral, could you...?"

If he really turns himself in to the male insect protection association, he'll be lucky to escape with his life!

Carroll also remembered this.

But then he realized that because of his adjutant's misunderstanding, he had also misunderstood, which was why it had taken him so long to coax his little master back to his senses.

How could he possibly not remember this debt?

He sighed as he thought about it.

"Soto, you know the committee has been watching me..."

He didn't need to spell out the rest; Soto understood.

He was momentarily filled with despair, but then his expression hardened again.

"I understand, Admiral Carol. Don't worry, I'll go to the Male Insect Protection Association to turn myself in right away. I won't cause you any trouble!"

"I'm sorry you had to suffer, Soto."

"For the sake of the general, I will not suffer any injustice!"

After saying that, he hung up the call and walked out with a sorrowful yet resolute expression.

the other side.

Watching Jian Chi's figure disappear completely, Hani walked to a corner with her wine glass in hand.

He looked left and right to make sure no insects were watching him, then held his breath and pulled a small bottle from his pocket with trembling hands.

If you look closely, you'll see that this small bottle is exactly the same as the one Jian Chi took out earlier.

Pour the contents of the small bottle into the wine and swirl the wine glass.

Hani stared intently at the wine glass.

He didn't know if Carole's feelings for him were the same as his feelings for Carole.

If things are different, this might be the only, and last, chance to embrace Carroll.

A normal dose might not be enough to make Carol so emotionally involved that she couldn't control herself. She was still hesitant, but Chi encouraged her.

He'd had enough and didn't want to keep overthinking.

He just wanted to have Carol completely, even if only once.
