“Hehehe...it’s been a week. A full week! And I’m finally done! I’ve finally reached the full-fledged ending, where no one died. Hehehe!”

“And you were also nearly poisoned four times, assassinated by servants six times and secretive assassins brought after you twice...and that all happened without you even leaving this room even once!”  

Ugh, indeed. I’ve spent, what, the last three days pulling an all nighter?

And boy was it terrible.

Most of the assassinations happened in the last three days after all...seeing that the poisoning failed practically every time.

I turned around to face the tired looking Angel, “Well, isn’t it mostly that bastard’s--the emperor’s--fault? You could always bring me the food yourself!”

Angel’s hair is in utter mess, while her eyes are all baggy and stuff. She honestly looks pretty worn out...is it because she was forced to pull an all nighter along side me? Or was it because of her screams every time a jump-scare happened? Well, she was hiding behind my back pretty much for most of the game...never letting go of her sword, though.

Believe me, that was a weird spectacular for myself as well!

“But if I left you and you were attacked...”

“Then, why can’t we send the old man?”

Angel shook her head helplessly, “He’s a busy man, governing the capital and all it’s nobles...”

Ehh...

“Then, what about the emperor?! He was the one who invited me to this place after all!”

At that point, Angel broke a wry smile. It’s pretty understandable, mind you.

“Well...the Emperor is...well, he can’t exactly service food himself, now can he? He’s the emperor for crying out loud!”

Ugh...that’s right.

Even though that bastard is free enough to come bother me at least twice every day! Heck, he takes Angel’s place behind me and sits down...just imagining what his hands do my chest is making me shiver nonstop! That monster! He has unbelievable strength...I can’t shake him off no matter what I do...even if I wanted to stand up and run!

“Oh, goddess! I have heard the calling of my goddess!”

And with that, the door slammed open.

“...Sigh!”

The emperor quickly got inside the room, and looked at Angel, “You are dismissed!”

Angel looked blankly for a moment, and then, as if it was a hard pill to swallow, said, “Y-your imperial majesty, but leaving the two of you unprotected...”

The emperor simply waved his hand, “No need to worry at all, I can guarantee both my protection and Kai’s!”

“W-wait a s-second!”

Like hell I’m going to be alone with this freak!

I bet he’ll try to molest me...

“Angel, stay here!”

Angel, who have yet to take a a single step, nailed her feet to the ground.

“Major Angelina Von Campcolt, I’m ordering you to leave!”

Eh, Angel is a noble?!

...Wait a second, when she introduced herself, she just said “Angel” and not “Angelina”...I mean, normally, you would think that no? Well, stupid me actually thought her name is Angel...wait, wait, wait, did she introduce herself to me with that as a nickname? Can it be that she unexpectedly wanted to make friends with me from the very start...?

I continued to look at Angel, begging her with my eyes to stay here.

She hesitated a bit...before her legs gave in and she slowly retreated outside of the room.

“Now then, Kai!”

Grr, that broad smile! Stop flashing those white teeth!

“I’m sorry, Emperor, but I was about to head to bed...seeing that I haven’t had a wink of sleep for the last three days.”

Now then, let’s hope that he gets a hint and leaves.

“Ohoho~ I already know about that! How about this, why don’t I join you? I haven’t really had much sleep for the last couple of days either...”

...I just dug my own grave, didn’t I?!

“A-ahem, no no, seeing that you, the Emperor, has graced me with his presence...how could I go to bed?”

The damned Emperor kept his wide grin and said, “Well, we either go to bed together or you call me Chris, Okay?”

Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

“Eh?”

...D-did he just tell me to call him by his first name?

“Well, you see...being an emperor and all, no one is really close to me, you know? No one has been able to call me by my first name! I don’t have friends, I don’t have relatives, I don’t even have...parents!”

“Aww...what a touching generic emperor story...if only you knocked off that big grin of yours, it might have been a tiny bit more believable, you know?”

“Hahaha, well said, well said! To be honest, I never really was able to mask my emotions. Anyhow, either you call me by Christ or I confiscate that beloved crystal of yours, my goddess!”

“Chris!”

The Empero--Chris, laughed out loud, “No hesitation at all!”

A sigh couldn’t help but escape from my breath, “Blackmailing me...So anyhow, what do you want?”

Chris took a step forward and grabbed a hold of my chest, per usual--I already gave up the notion of trying to shake him off--And said, “These are as perfect as usual~!” He then looked up at me and winked, “We can always talk about it after going to bed~”

I take everything back.

I grabbed his hands that were grasping at my chest, and pulled down as hard as I could.

“Hnghh!!!” And with every ounce of strength I could muster...I finally moved both of his hands an inch lower.

I then looked at Chris, who simply blinked in disbelief, and a grin couldn’t help but break into my face.

“Psych!”

And then his hands returned to their original position...

“...No need. Just hurry up and tell me why you came here for...”

Chris laughed for a bit while continuing his march of dominance over my chest.

After a few moments went by, he finally withdrew both of his hands and stopped laughing...gradually.

“I came here to invite you for a game!”

I tilted my head lightly, “A game?”

Chris suddenly made a grasp for my head, and began making a mess of my hair.

“Gooosh you’re so cuu~uutee!!!”

“Hey, what the fuck do you think you’re doing?!”

“Huehuehue, you’re just too cute, Kai! I just couldn’t help myself~”

“Siiiigh!!!!!”

If I remember correctly, don’t they say that happiness escapes through a sigh?

I have to say, I couldn’t have agreed more! Every time I see this bastard, I end up sighing. And then what happens? I get more miserable, which leads me to sigh even more! What a vicious cycle!!

“So where was I...oh yes, the game! Now that you finished your game, I thought you’ll get bored pretty soon...”

“But I just finished the game literally twenty minutes ago! Isn’t this simply too fast?”

“Just hurry up and answer me, do you want to play this game or not?”

I walked over to the bed and took a seat at the edge...This bastard is taking everything out of me. I’m more exhausted after talking to this guy than before he showed up! I can’t believe just having this short conversation with this guy is making me more exhausted than a straight three days of nothing but video games!

Christ walked over and sat directly next to me.

“*Pat* *Pat* Hurry over here, Kai~”

I looked over to Chris...and this fucker was patting his lap.

“You...”

And just a look at my face sent Chris on the bed rolling, laughing.

“Hahahaha~!! Seriously, Kai, that expression!!!! Hahaha~”

“Bastard!”

“In...viting you here...haha! Was probably the best decision I’ve ever made! I haven’t had this much fun since...well, that doesn’t really matter! So you’re in, right? The game, I mean!”

I won’t answer.

Like hell I’ll answer.

I’ll never answer!

I bet he’ll just find a way to make me even madder.

“Hehe~ No need to be mad, Kai~ Oh, by the way, I promise you that the game will, without a doubt, pique your interest!”

Blah blah blah I’m not listening!

“It’s an interesting game! A super interesting game! After all, we’ll be playing against those who are after you~”
