201 Paymen (1/2)

The angry Rana latched onto Seiji’s wrist with her teeth.

Seiji felt more surprise than pain, as he didn’t expect the cat girl to have such a side to her.

He tried to peel her off, but failed.

He tried using a taiyaki to distract her attention.

Rana’s eyes flashed with light.

He used a head-pat in addition to the taiyaki.

”Meow~” the cat girl purred in satisfaction.

Her jaws loosened slightly.

Seiji tried peeling her off again—and this time he succeeded!

He instantly stuffed the taiyaki into her mouth as he continued patting her on the head.

Rana still had some unvented anger remaining, but she accepted his coaxing and rubbed against Seiji’s leg.

There were teeth marks left on his wrist.

This was a precious memory!

Natsuya thought that this would develop into an incident when she saw Rana angrily biting Seiji, but now she didn’t know what to say anymore when she witnessed this result.

This game… actually seemed pretty fun?

The lady president picked up a controller and tried pressing a few buttons.

Suddenly, she noticed two pairs of eyes upon her and turned around to see that the handsome boy and the cat-eared loli were both staring at her with bright looks of expectation.

Natsuya was rendered speechless by this.

‘Come, let’s play together!’ She felt as if she could detect them saying that with simply their eyes.

It was impossible for her to go against their expectations.

”This game… I don’t really know how to play it, so could you teach me?” Natsuya asked them, having decided to go along with the flow.

”I’d be delighted to!”

”Meow!”

And so, the game tutorial for the scion began.

…

One hour later.

Seiji had collapsed listlessly on the carpet, while Rana had collapsed listlessly onto his back.

Both of them gave off such a feeling of helplessness.

Once again, Natsuya was rendered wordless as she watched them.

On the television screen, her white-haired elder sister character was making a victory pose on the post-battle screen.

That’s right—she had been the victor.

After the president learned how to play the game and figured out a few strategies, the president showed off an abnormal level of skill in reflecting attacks in a three-way free-for-all and defeated both her opponents!

Seiji and Rana found it difficult to accept this indisputable truth, which was why they had both collapsed onto the floor. From this it could be seen how ignominiously they had handled defeat.

Although this seemed rather silly to Natsuya, she couldn't help but admit that they looked a little cute.

”Milady, you’re rather talented.”

The idle fish on the carpet… whoops, Seiji spoke up.

”Meow~” Rana also meowed in agreement.

”Meow meow~”

”Just use our bodies… as the stepping stones to a higher realm.”

”Meow meow meow~”

”Why do I need to use your bodies as the stepping stones? Where is this higher realm even supposed to be!?” the president couldn’t help but forcefully comment.

It was just a game, after all.

”That realm is known as a utopia which people say is far removed from the world. They say that only the pure and battle-loving kings can reach it.” Seiji lifted his head. ”If you’re going to that place which you belong in, our sacrifices will have been worthwhile!”

”Meow!” Rana also lifted her head.
