Ark, I got cold a little early

"Tsk... I don't know what the first place prize is, but since Ace cares so much about it, I have no choice but to fight for it!"

"That might not be of any use to you."

Logos said lightly.

"That's not your decision, Logos! Even if the prize is useless to me! I've been waiting for that look of defeat on your face for a long time!"

Scout's words made Logos' eyes twitch slightly.

Why do you hold such a grudge against me? Didn't I just show Ace and the others your dark history of being drunk?

Well, since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being rude.

As Scout was thinking about this, something that looked very familiar to him suddenly appeared in Logos' hand.

That is……

My scope?!

"Wait! Logos! What do you want to do?!"

Scout's tone suddenly became panicked.

"Nothing...just..."

As he spoke, Logos placed his hand on the pitch adjustment knob.

"Ami!!"

With a bang, Scout fell to the ground as he stretched out his hand towards Logos, and Logos immediately passed him and threw the scope on him.

Haha, so easy.

Logos chuckled and rushed to the finish line.

"The track I designed... is pretty simple... huh?"

But at the last moment, several red silk threads suddenly wrapped around his waist and pulled him back fiercely.

The person behind him who used the thread overtook Logos at the critical moment and crossed the finish line.

This is……

Hongyu in the audience stands widened his eyes.

What the hell? Inès won?

-

"So...what was the prize for first place in that competition?"

"I heard that you can date any Babel operator for a month, and they're not allowed to refuse..."

"Damn, why does this reward sound so familiar?"

After watching this little drama, you should be able to understand what the title of this chapter means, right? (laughs)

122

Chapter 122 Hongyu: So I am the prize?!

The Tower of Babel is at a corner of a corridor where not many people usually walk.

"Wait a minute... So Inès, you..."

After learning about the so-called first place prize, Hongyu said that he was completely confused.

what's the situation?

A free day? What are you doing?!

Also, when did you agree that I could be a prize?!

"Don't...don't move! Let me think about what to do next..."

Holding Hongyu's face with both hands, Ines' face looked so red that it seemed like blood could drip out.

"I think... doesn't this make it seem like we're moving a little too fast? Were we people who valued friendship not long ago?"

Hongyu was a little at a loss.

He could sense Inès's intense emotional fluctuations at this moment, but...

He really doesn't know what is going on!

"quick?"

Inès was stunned for a moment, then said, "Yu, we...are probably past the age of valuing friendship, right?"

"Do you...hate me doing this?"

As she spoke, she asked.

"Eh?"

Hong Yu was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "To be honest... I... don't know, but... I don't hate it?"

"is it?"

A smile flashed across Inès's face, and then she gritted her teeth and stood on tiptoe as if she had made a decision.

"Well……"

Although they separated immediately after the touch, the soft touch still left Hongyu stunned.

"You don't hate it, do you?"

Inès smiled gently, her face showing a look of triumph.

"I……"

I was speechless and didn't know what to say.

And... I suddenly felt a chill down my spine...

"Wow, Miss Inès is also a person who can be very courageous at times."

Theresa quietly walked out from the other corner of the corridor.

“Theresa?”

Hongyu was stunned when he saw Theresa suddenly come out.

Huh? Theresa came out from here now... Does that mean that she knew everything Inès and I did just now?

Oh my god, what kind of hellish composition is this?!

"Well, sometimes, it's better not to do these things in the hallway, right?"

Theresa's smile was a little distorted at this moment.

"And...Yu shouldn't have agreed, right?"

That's a pretty forced excuse, Theresa.

The corners of Hongyu's mouth twitched slightly.

Didn’t you agree to that free day championship reward that gave me a very strong sense of déjà vu?

"But Your Highness, Yuta didn't object, did he?"

As if sensing Theresa's strangeness, the intuitive Inès naturally took Hongyu's hand and then said, "Besides... he's my boyfriend now, right?"

"..."

Inexplicably, Theresa wanted to travel back in time and kill the version of herself who had agreed to Logos and the Doctor's proposal. Then she looked at Hongyu and said, "Then you..."

"I... don't know? But I don't hate it..."

Hongyu scratched his hair.

To be honest, for what Inès did... he didn't have the same subtle sense of guilt and betrayal as he did towards Ling or Skadi.

But maybe it was because Ling's behavior that time left such a deep impression on him, so now his heart was shrouded in a very strange emotion.

But...if I reject Inès...wouldn't that be bad? I haven't learned this...

But...if I agree...I might not live long...

In short, it was very confusing, which led to Hongyu's ambiguous remarks.

No... not annoying?

After hearing Hongyu's answer, Theresa's expression became even weirder.

From what you said...Is it okay to kiss casually?

Theresa's expression gradually changed, and finally she glanced quickly at Hongyu's lips, then looked away.

Eh? I...this is...

Theresa: She seemed to realize what she was thinking, and her expression gradually became guilty.

Inès: Realizing that Hongyu is not the only one targeting her, she prepares herself.

Hongyu: How come Theresa's expressions change so much... (And she's thinking about whether she's a scumbag or not.)

Doctor: Long overdue.

"Eh? What are you all doing here?"

The doctor's leisurely footsteps were heard. She looked at Inès and Hongyu holding hands and was stunned for two seconds. Then she remembered the first prize of the competition...

You know, the Doctor and Theresa actually participated, but...

Lost.

Completely lost...

Whether it's a competition or something else...

"It seems...I came at a bad time?"

Inexplicably, the doctor spoke like this.

Suddenly remembering Hongyu's hearing problem and seeing Theresa's presence, the doctor quietly made a few signs behind him.

Hongyu can "see".

"No, no, no! Doctor, you're just in time!"

With a somewhat excited tone, Hongyu quickly walked towards the doctor and said, "It just so happens that I have some ideas about the future development of Kazdel. Let's go and discuss it together."

“Eh? Wouldn’t it be better to talk to Theresa about these things… Hey, stop pulling at my sleeve!”

As he spoke, the doctor was dragged away by the somewhat embarrassed Hongyu, leaving only Ines and Theresa.

"Ms. Inès, don't you want to go and see what Yuta is trying to do?"

Theresa still had her everlasting smile on her face.

"As a girlfriend, if you pursue her too closely, she will become disgusted, Your Highness."

Inès responded calmly.

As for Hongyu...was there anything he needed to worry about? Would that piece of dead wood bloom on its own initiative towards others?

Is this... talking about me?

Theresa was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "But Yu hasn't confirmed that you are his girlfriend, right? Miss Inès?"

Your Highness, are you... not going to pretend anymore?

Inès smiled, then said calmly, "But he didn't refuse, did he? Besides, his lips are very soft."

Although I don’t know why Hongyu is so embarrassed because of my kiss, but... this reaction is enough.

"Goooo!"

The corners of her mouth twitched, and Theresa left the place without saying anything else.

"That is, is there a possibility... that our Yui Party is actually the ultimate winner?"
