My love index is at its maximum.

Such a simple game.

Even if we lose, it won't be a terrible loss, right?

After Yui Kikawa laid the blueprints out on the table, Tsukasa Tazaki realized that the problem was far more complicated than he had thought.

Each square contains a corresponding question or challenge.

The questions were all similar to truth or dare, nothing new.

In comparison, the challenges were much more fun.

For example, you must tell a joke that all the players agree with, or else you lose the game—the loser will be given a cold shower.

Besides these, there are challenges such as eating the peel of an entire orange without showing any expression, being tickled on the soles of your feet for twenty seconds without moving, and having to stick your tongue out the entire time for two rounds of games...

Then.

New problems have arisen.

Aren't these two top beauties afraid of being punished themselves?

A brilliant idea flashed into my mind!

Tazaki Tsukasa suddenly realized the crucial issue.

Although these two have temporarily united to direct their conflict at themselves, there are still serious rifts within them.

I should seize the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and dismantle this false 'Kurisu' alliance in one fell swoop.

Just like the Three Kingdoms period.

As a traitor to Cao Cao, I am now facing a pincer attack from the Sun-Liu alliance.

You might suffer a setback at the Battle of Red Cliffs initially, but as long as you remain calm and focused on developing your strength, these two will eventually clash due to their internal conflicts, smoothly transitioning into the Three Kingdoms period of contention!

I was so clever!

Tazaki Tsukasa mentally gave himself a thumbs up.

“Let’s start the game,” Yui Kichikawa said, taking out the dice. “Kuriyama-kun, you can start first.”

“No problem.” Kuriyama Sakura reached out, took the dice, and tossed them aside.

Count five.

She picked up the chess piece and moved it five squares forward.

[Have your feet tickled for twenty seconds, during which time your body must not tremble.]

Tazaki Tsukasa quickly shifted his gaze to the notes next to the form and took a closer look at the punishment for failure—the loser would have to French kiss their reflection in the mirror.

Yoho.

Imagining the minister kissing himself wildly in front of the mirror, Tsukasa Tazaki said regretfully, "How about we change it? This punishment is too embarrassing."

“Hypocritical.” Kuriyama Sakura looked at him coldly, sighed and rubbed her forehead: “When you say this, please try to hide that lewd smile on your face. It would at least make it more believable.”

"It was on purpose," Tsukasa Tazaki admitted directly. "I just wanted to tease you."

"Have you become so infatuated with me?" Kuriyama Sakura picked up her cup, took a sip of coffee, and smiled faintly.

Watching the minister clean her exquisite face, Tsukasa Tazaki had a sudden thought and said seriously, "I feel a great sense of accomplishment every time I see you have a headache because of me. And you look much cuter like this than when you're all high and mighty, don't you think?"

"Let's begin," Yui Kichikawa said coldly, interrupting their conversation.

Kuriyama Sakura tilted her head slightly, looking at her with a faint smile: "Oh, you're getting impatient."

Time stood still for two seconds.

"Hurry up, are you still playing games or not?" Tsukasa Tazaki spoke up in time, stopping a potential brawl between the pretty girls.

Although it was done intentionally, one cannot appear too hasty, otherwise the enemy may easily see through it.

Kuriyama Sakura glanced at Kurikawa Yui.

The blonde girl rubbed her hands together, looking eager to try.

We can't let it fall into her hands!

Otherwise, I will definitely fail and be punished.

Then, Kuriyama Sakura looked at Tazaki Tsukasa and said, "You better be smart."

"Such a good thing?" Tsukasa Tazaki was overjoyed and quickly turned around.

"You scoundrel!" Yui Kichikawa cursed, biting her lower lip.

of course.

Tsukasa Tazaki did this on purpose.

If I act overjoyed, my older brother will be angry, but he won't target me too much; he'll just be more annoyed by the minister's choice.

Kuriyama Sakura nodded in satisfaction.

The member did a good job this time; he should be rewarded appropriately in the future.

She got up from the sofa, lay down on the floor, and her black hair spread out.

She lifted one leg, brought it close to Tsukasa Tazaki's fingers, and gently touched them. Then, she gripped her clothes with both hands, took a deep breath, and closed her eyes.

Unfortunately, Tsukasa Tazaki's hands were cuffed behind her back, so her helpless state couldn't be seen.

A pair of familiar little feet were touched by fingertips, and gently scratched through the stockings.

Even with his back to her, Tazaki Tsukasa could still picture her shy expression on her legs, which were so delicate and irresistible to the touch.

I really want to turn around.

Unfortunately, this is not allowed.

Tsukasa Tazaki knew perfectly well that the reason Kuriyama Sakura chose him was because he could only tickle her when his back was turned...

I scratched for ten seconds.

Kuriyama Sakura kept her legs together the whole time, her toes, encased in black pantyhose, curled up uneasily.

I wish I hadn't played the game...

The minister, who was trying his best to control his body, endured the itching sensation on the soles of his feet with a mixture of regret and embarrassment.

It will be there in twenty seconds.

Sakura, who was lying flat, took a couple of breaths, gave a pleasant "hmm," and then suddenly stood up. Her face, which was only now beginning to flush, lowered her head to straighten her clothes and silently sat back down on the sofa.

Tsukasa Tazaki turned around to face the two girls: "If it's really such an embarrassing challenge, why don't we just skip it?"

"Who's afraid can give up?" Kuriyama Sakura said nonchalantly.

"Tasaki-san, please don't try to run away," Yui Kikawa reminded him coldly.

"Alright, alright, let's continue." Tsukasa Tazaki sighed helplessly. "Since none of you are afraid, why should I be afraid when there's an advantage to be had?"

“I’m second.” Yui Kichikawa picked up the dice and threw them onto the table.

six o'clock.

[Posting a video of herself meowing like a cat on social media]

?

Sikawa Yui: "...!"

The person who wrote down this challenge must have some serious illness.

"Brother, please call him," Tsukasa Tazaki urged.

If his hands weren't cuffed, he probably would have smashed his palms to pieces by now.

everyone.

Can you imagine what it would be like if a cool, aloof girl who is usually expressionless suddenly didn't sleep well one night and instead posted a "meow meow meow" video on Instagram?

And she was even wearing a cosplay outfit!

Kikawa Yui turned her head and looked at him coldly.

In that instant, regret was revealed for the second time in those clear blue eyes.

This is the second time she has regretted her actions.

The first time was in May of this year. On the overpass at dusk, she met Tazaki Tsukasa for the first time after he moved. The two argued and parted on bad terms.

That regretful look entered Tazaki Tsukasa's eyes like a pebble falling into a deep well, and he couldn't help but say, "If that doesn't work, we can try something else, like doing 20 push-ups in a row or something."

That's half true and half false.

On one hand, she was indeed thinking of her older brother; on the other hand, she was also intentionally showing concern for the blonde girl in order to provoke the minister's anger.

"Give up, I allow it."

Kuriyama Sakura glanced coldly at Tazaki Tsukasa, crossed her arms, leaned back on the sofa, and revealed her signature cold smile: "After all, Kikawa-san's 'loser' attribute is so deep. If it's like that in relationships, it's inevitable in games as well."

Faced with her sarcastic words, Yui Kichikawa straightened her collar. "Thank you, I'll remember those words. But the game has only just begun, don't get too cocky."

"Yoho." Kuriyama Sakura crossed her legs, leaned forward, and stared into her clear blue eyes. "Since you're so stubborn, then go ahead and call me."

The two beautiful girls stared at each other for a moment.

Yui Kikawa took out her phone and opened the selfie camera.

Bathed in the warm orange light of the room, the pure and noble blonde girl was breathtakingly beautiful, much like a saint descending to earth from the afterglow of the setting sun.

then.

They had just landed, and their feet hadn't even settled yet.

The Holy Maiden took a deep breath.

"Meow~"

A newly arrived, trembling, holy cat.

Tsukasa Tazaki gritted his teeth.

It lay face down on the floor, wriggling like a baby maggot.

"Cute!" Kuriyama Sakura exclaimed, leaning back on the sofa, her legs bobbing up and down, clearly very satisfied.
