Chapter 31

When we arrived at Nozaki's house, Chiyo and Mikoshiba were already there.

Inumaki Ji knew the Nozaki family, so he tilted his head in confusion, probably not expecting that what Saki meant by "going out to play together" meant coming to Nozaki's house to play.

However...because Saki had previously denied the possibility of having an ambiguous relationship with Nozaki, Inumaki Satoru does not have much hostility towards Nozaki.

So after the initial doubts he calmed down.

No matter where he goes, he can go.

Saki felt a little guilty, after all, she had some "bad intentions" today.

"Well, Nozaki invited me to play, so I was thinking about asking you to come along."

She turned her head to look at Goujuanji's expression, hoping to get some information from it.

However, Goujuanji had his usual expressionless face, with his eyes slightly lowered and his expression calm. Now that he was wearing a mask, he was even more difficult to recognize.

But fortunately, he did not show any anger or displeasure, which Saki could still discern.

Inujuan Ji nodded slightly: "Salmon."

Saki and Inumaki Tsuchiya walked in.

Nozaki quickly came over to open the door, and when he saw Inumaki Saki, his eyes lit up with enthusiasm.

Saki: ………

Goujuanji blinked, revealing a puzzled look.

Nozaki: "Welcome, welcome!"

The props had been placed on the table in the living room. While Inumaki Satoru was changing his shoes, Saki exchanged a glance with Nozaki. Nozaki gave him a thumbs up expressionlessly, indicating that everything had been arranged.

Saki also nodded and made an OK gesture.

Very good, Nozaki, the organization was right about you!!

*Ten minutes ago*

Chiyo and Mikoshiba arrived here earlier than Saki.

Chiyo said stiffly, "Excuse me, Nozaki-san."

Her face is red and there are little flowers floating around her.

Mikoshiba looked over and said, "Didn't they say Oda would come too? Where is she?"

Nozaki: "Oda will be here in about ten minutes. Before that, I have something to say."

Then he told them the real purpose of today's truth or dare game.

Chiyo covered her face, her purple eyes sparkling with emotion.

"Eh? Really? Saki is going to try to pursue someone? That's great..."

Unlike her, she is still stuck at the first step.

She clenched her fists and said, "Don't worry, Nozaki-san, I will definitely cooperate!"

I must help Saki complete the assist!

Mikoshiba was even more shocked: "Huh?! Really? With that middle school boy? Oda likes that guy?"

His eyes widened in shock.

Mikoshiba frowned and recalled the situation of Inumaki Saki, seeming a little dissatisfied and snorted softly.

Then he said, "You want to test it, right? Leave it to me!"

As Saki's family member (?), he must help Saki keep a close eye on things.

Nozaki explained the rules of the game to them.

It’s actually very simple because the games they play are not difficult.

It's called Truth or Dare, but it's actually a variation of the King's Game. A card is drawn to determine who is the King, and the King can choose a person. That person then chooses Truth or Dare to complete their "punishment."

However, unlike the normal King game, the King in their normal game does not need to specify a number card, but can directly designate someone. Therefore, in their game, no matter who draws the Chinese Ace card except Gojuan Ji, they will be "punished" for choosing Gojuan Ji.

This is their assist to Saki!

Mikoshiba: "I see, that's really despicable..."

Nozaki: "Of course, in order to prevent him from finding out, we have to control the frequency. That is, after choosing Inumaki Saki to receive the punishment, we also need to appropriately select other people to receive the punishment to cover up the truth."

Chiyo's eyes lit up, "I see! I understand!"

In this case, does she also have the opportunity to "fish in troubled waters"?

Thinking of this, Chiyo couldn't help but glance at Nozaki.

*

Nozaki explained the rules clearly, and then made eye contact with Saki.

Then Saki understood.

"So that's how it is. I'm fine! How about you, Goujuan?"

Inujuanji nodded: "Salmon."

So the King's Game begins.

The one who drew the joker card in the first round was Nozaki.

Nozaki suddenly became excited, an excitement that was visible to the naked eye.

Saki was really afraid that he would do something out of excessive excitement or reveal something, so she coughed lightly without leaving any trace.

Nozaki regained his senses.

He took out a pen and paper to record, "Then I'll choose - Goujuan."

He acted very calmly, as if it was just a casual remark and there was no shady dealings involved.

Inumaki Saki blinked and waited for Nozaki's punishment.

Nozaki: "Do you want to choose truth or dare?"

Inumaki hesitated and glanced at Saki out of the corner of his eye.

Noticing his gaze, Saki tilted her head.

In fact, she didn't know what Goumaki Saki would choose, but it was obviously better to tell the truth, so that she could find out Goumaki Saki's ideal type.

Inujuan Ji: [Great adventure.]

Nozaki felt a little disappointed, but it was soon overwhelmed by new excitement.

"Is that so? A big adventure? In that case—"

He looked righteous and said, "Please give the people around you a princess hug!"

There was also a little bit of selfish motive involved, because he wanted to better learn the princess hug posture so that he could draw it more vividly in the comics. Therefore, this was a good opportunity.

Of course, this can also help Saki.

Upon hearing this, Goujuanji opened his eyes wide in shock and was panicked for a moment.

Saki swallowed nervously.

A male or a princess carry? Is it going to be this big right from the start?

It's not impossible...

Saki's eyes wandered around.

After all, she is sitting next to Inugami Saki now, so if the other party wants to choose someone to carry in a princess hug, it would obviously be her.

Thinking of this, Saki's little heart started beating faster again.

She quietly crossed her fingers, wondering how she should cooperate later. She had never been carried like a princess before.

But there should be no need to worry too much about weight issues?

Although Inumaki Saki looks a little thin, Saki knows that he is actually quite strong.

Thinking of this, Saki became nervous.

Gou Juanji pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and pinched his fingers helplessly.

These are the rules of the game, he can't and doesn't want to break them.

And I was the first one to be called out, so it wouldn’t be good if I violated the rules.

Inumaki Saki stood up from the tatami.

Noticing his movements, Saki was so nervous that she almost stopped breathing.

Cold, calm down!

You need to appear calm in the face of danger, the kind of calmness and composure that comes from someone who has seen a lot of things in the world!

Gou Juanji moved his feet and walked to the person next to him.

He hesitated for a moment and bent down.

——Then he picked up Mikoshiba = =.

Well, yes, besides Saki, Inugami Tsuchiya also has Mikoshiba.

Just now, Nozaki only told Inumaki Tsutomu to give the person next to him a princess hug, but he did not explicitly specify Saki (of course, he also had a reason to conceal his purpose), so Inumaki Tsutomu took advantage of this loophole.

Saki: Frozen.

Chiyo: ...Huh?

Nozaki: stunned, then sobered up and started writing furiously.

Mikoshiba:…………? ?

He immediately struggled: "Huh?! What are you doing! Put me down now!"

Inujuanji: expressionless.jpg

Then he put Miko Chai down and pulled his mask.

“Salmon.”

Mikoshiba: ...I don’t understand.

Mikoshiba glared at Gojuanji with a very sour look on his face, and at the same time felt a little ashamed and angry.

Damn it, is this guy really that strong?

Moreover, no one would have expected that Gomaki Saki would choose to carry Miko Shiba Inu in a princess hug. It was indeed a bit unexpected.

Saki: “…”

Vomiting soul.

What should I say? I don’t know what to say.

In a way, it doesn't seem so surprising?

After being nervous, she suddenly regained her composure. Saki felt that she was very clear-headed now. She could even do ten math papers without feeling sleepy.

She has dead eyes.

Haha, it seems that Goujuanji has no extra interest in her, so she can go to sleep now.

…Damn it!

She is actually not as good as Mikoshiba?

Um? !

This development obviously also surprised others.

Among them, only Nozaki was happy to record it.

Chiyo was sitting next to Saki, and when she saw this, she came over and quietly comforted her.

"Don't worry about it! I think Gojuan-san is just trying to avoid suspicion, and he's also afraid of disturbing you..."

Saki: “I hope so.”

Goujuanji sat back down again.

He lowered his eyes slightly, his posture relaxed, and looked like he didn't care much, but in fact he was replaying what had just happened in his mind.

...There shouldn't be anything wrong, right?

In fact, after hearing Nozaki's request, Inumaki Saki did think for a moment about carrying Saki in his arms like a princess, but he quickly suppressed the idea.

Because it's not quite right yet.

I also don't want Saki to dislike me.

So it was natural to choose Mikoshiba.

Nozaki: "Well then, let's start the next draw!"

Saki withdrew her attention and stared at the cards on the table angrily.

Damn it, this time she has to try her best to draw the joker card!

Nozaki shuffled the cards and put them back on the table.

Saki thought about it, then reached out and took the first one.

I opened it and saw - okay, it's not a joker.

Nozaki: "Who is the king this time?"

Inujuan Ji silently turned the card over.

Nozaki: "Wow, that's great. Who would you choose?"

Goujuan Ji lowered his eyes, then looked up at Saki.

He pinched his fingertips nervously.

Saki: "Huh? Are you going to choose me?"

Seeing that she was not unhappy, Goujuan Ji nodded.

Saki was a little curious. She thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll choose the truth."

Next, it was Goujuanji's turn to ask questions.

Obviously this was difficult for Goujuanji.

Nozaki couldn't help but want to help with some advice.

He switched places with Mikoshiba and moved next to Inumaki Saki, whispering something in his ear.

Saki couldn't help but narrow her eyes: "Hey, hey, don't go too far..."

Nozaki sat back down.

"Then please get started!"

Saki swallowed worriedly.

What kind of question will Inumaki choose to ask?
