The following night.
"One more... one more time."
Zola, exhausted and barely able to lift a card of her size, spoke with difficulty.
Despite appearing completely drained, she insisted on playing one more round, trying to defeat Shirley, an opponent who seemed utterly unbeatable.
"Even if you play ten thousand more times, you'll never beat me..."
Shirley, with deep dark circles under her eyes after a marathon of playing "King Duel" for a day and night, was starting to struggle with mental clarity.
“If you let me be the older sister, I’ll teach you how to play King Duel. How about it?"
At this critical moment, Shirley recalled her mission and made a tempting offer.
"Hmm... huh?" Zola, also a bit confused, said, "You... what are you saying? I’m the older sister!"
“If you let me be the leader, I’ll teach you the secret to winning King Duel, and then you’ll be able to win against them...” Shirley whispered to Zola.
"Win against them? Win... win!?" Zora, with a foggy mind, repeated the word "win" to herself.
Shirley then went over to where Zoe was.
“Could you let me be the older sister? If I don’t become the older sister, my mom will definitely scold me...” Shirley said, pretending to cry.
“Ah!? Really?” Zoe, visibly concerned, approached Shirley and said, “Don’t cry, I’ll definitely choose you…”
Hmm, another one conquered!
After dealing with the naïve Zoe, Shirley went after Tiffany.
“Look, I have a lot of fun things. If you choose me as the older sister, I’ll show you a bunch of cool stuff!”
“Really? Then I choose you, since I’m not very interested in being the older sister.”
Proven method.
After a day and night of "difficult battles," when everyone’s mental clarity was compromised, Shirley used charm or pressure tactics to persuade everyone to choose her as the older sister.
Humph, finally managed to handle these silly girls!
Shirley prepared a memory crystal and, with a voice that everyone could hear but was not loud enough to wake them, announced: "Alright, now tell me who you want to be the older sister!"

"Sh... Shirley..."
Everyone said dejectedly, as if they were not taking the situation seriously.
“Come on, one more round, this time I’ll win. If it weren’t for Sylvia getting in my way, I would have won."
"What do you mean by getting in your way? You’re the one who can’t cooperate. This time I’ll defeat you."
Soon, the topic returned to the cards on the table.
Seeing this, Shirley finally relaxed and continued playing "King Duel" with them, not knowing how long it would last.
...
Meanwhile, in a luxurious room in the castle, occasional "click-clack" sounds were heard.
“These girls are really so immature..."
Observing the scene in the central garden of the room, Shirley’s mother commented with a tone of sarcasm while placing a small rectangular block on the table.
"Four circles."
"Ah, you still have the nerve to talk, when you used to play similar tricks back then!”
A large fairy, enveloped in a colorful glow and apparently naked, played three cards on the table. "I’m in."
“Exactly, a cute little girl, but ended up inheriting all your flaws. Three thousand!”
A tree larger than Nicole used its vines to play a card, with a tone and expression exactly like Nicole’s, only speaking a bit faster.
“Why did you change bodies? What happened to the old one?”
The giant, transparent Tiffany said while playing a "nine of clubs."
For example, the Dryad clan doesn’t have human bodies.
It’s always strange talking to a tree.
So, I don’t know when the Dryad clan started incorporating human corpses into their trunks, pretending they were their own bodies.
“I got tired of the old one, I used it for thousands of years, even with preservation, it was deteriorating. Finding a body that matches my personality is hard, so I’m using this one for now.”
The great tree queen said casually.
“Hehe!” Shirley’s mother smiled contentedly and pushed her cards on the table. "I won!"
“Wow, you’re cheating again, aren’t you?”
“Do you need to ask? Of course, I am!”
“Despicable, shameless!”
In response to the accusations, Shirley’s mother didn’t mind and proudly lifted her chin.
“Enough with the nonsense, the one who lost the most has to take off a piece of clothing!”
In games like this, there must be a bet, right?
These leadership figures can only let loose in a “dark little room” like this.
Of course, besides Shirley’s mother’s table, there was another table nearby playing the same game.
In this round, the one who lost the most was the great fairy queen.
“Hey, hurry up, we’re waiting for the next round!” The Dryad queen said impatiently.
“That’s right, don’t waste time.” The ghost queen agreed.
“Damn it!”
The fairy queen cursed and slowly began to remove her last piece of clothing.
“Wow!”
Everyone exclaimed in surprise when they saw the fairy queen’s panties.
“Ha ha, she lost everything!” Shirley’s mother cheered enthusiastically.
Literally the meaning of the words.
“He he he, if she lost everything, we can’t be blamed…”
The Dryad queen used her vines to tie the fairy queen’s hands and feet and pressed her against the table.
“I warned you, you should consider the consequences, don’t do anything reckless!” The Fairy Queen pretended to be calm at first but quickly panicked.
“Reckless? What are you talking about?” Shirley’s mother tilted her head with an innocent look, “We’re just carrying out normal game penalties, right?”
“Yes, that’s right!”
“Exactly!”
Seeing the interesting spectacle, people from the other table came closer.
“Hehe, you better remove that glow from your body, don’t force us to act!”
“Ah! Damn, you’re a bunch of perverts!”
Screams of terror filled the room, while outside, Luna shook her head in regret, lamenting not being able to participate in such a fun game...
