After dinner.
Lu Yibei and Ji Qingqian went upstairs.
The two sat cross-legged on the sofa and turned on the PS4 accessory—the 75-inch TV.
One person picked up a controller and started playing King of Fighters XV.
“Just fighting isn’t very interesting,” Ji Qingqian said.
She had just washed her hair, and it smelled sticky and damp as she dried it.
I was only wearing a sleeveless tank top on my upper body, but the weather in October was definitely not as hot as it was in September.
The temperature dropped noticeably after nightfall, so she put Lu Yibei's shirt back on.
However, she was only wearing a short pair of hot pants that revealed her plump, snow-white thighs.
She hugged a cushion and placed it on her crossed legs.
Lu Yibei: ...
“Abei?” Ji Qingqian asked again.
“Ah, ah,” Lu Yibei said.
"What are you looking at?" Ji Qingqian asked.
“Ah, adjust the controller. I haven’t used my controller at home in ages. It would be so unfair if I lost to you because of the equipment,” Lu Yibei said.
Look, this handle is so white... no, this handle is so soft, no...
This controller is really a controller!
Ji Qingqian pursed her pink lips, clearly not believing it.
Lu Yibei took one last, intense look at the legs of the female knight-errant, then... took one last, very final look, before finally saying:
"So, what do you want?"
"Do you dare to bet?"
"What are we betting on?"
"One order per bureau, unconditional obedience."
Ji Qingqian's tone was calm and indifferent, yet full of confidence.
This confidence gave Lu Yibei the illusion that he might give it away at any time.
…Well, perhaps the word "illusion" isn't quite accurate.
"Lu, you wouldn't be afraid, would you?"
Ji Qingqian glanced over with a cold, somewhat mocking look.
"A true man!"
Lu Yibei declared with boundless pride, "If I say I dare not, then I dare not."
Ji Qingqian sighed softly:
"I see you've already played over 40 hours of King of Fighters XV, and I've never even touched that game..."
Lu Yibei was startled and immediately used the controller to select and enter the game:
"Then come on!"
There were two main reasons that made him change his mind.
Firstly, he is a veteran of "The King of Fighters XV", while Teacher Ji is not interested in this kind of two-player fighting game.
As far as he knew, they had only played a couple of games together a long time ago.
And that was the classic 1997 version; it's changed over twenty years ago now…
In games that require skill, he is the type where the gap between him and Teacher Ji is the smallest.
Therefore, he had to consider whether this was the only opportunity he would ever have in his life.
As for the second reason, it is insignificant and not worth mentioning.
…That is, even if Ji Qingqian doesn't win against him, he will most likely obey her orders unconditionally.
The screen on the TV switched to the character selection interface.
The King of Fighters (KOF) is a classic fighting game that most people have either played or know about.
But I'll still give a brief introduction for those who haven't played it.
Simply put, each side chooses three game characters, then they fight each other, and whoever's character is still standing at the end wins.
It's okay if you didn't understand, just watch it.
Because the match was not exciting at all, but rather one-sided.
When Ji Qingqian said "Wait a moment, let me take a look at the move list" before the battle began, Lu Yibei sensed that something was wrong.
Immediately afterwards, he chose the character "K" and speed-completed the first encounter with the heroine, Iori Yagami.
He immediately felt the sun shine again, and Lu Yibei was back on track.
Then the female warrior chose the second character, "Billy Kane," commonly known as "The Stick King."
The female warrior rubbed the joystick while saying to Lu Yibei:
"Hey, don't you think this guy's character design is pretty interesting? 'Billy' is the same name as a certain philosopher-king♂, the bandana he wears is the same as Banana-kun's, and what's most impressive is that he's a master with a stick..."
Lu Yibei: ...
He could never guess what was going on in the young heroine's little head.
But he didn't have time to complain, and the situation became somewhat tense.
His nearly full-health K' was defeated in his duel with Billy Kane.
However, the latter also lost half its blood.
Lu Yibei still has two characters at full health, while the female warrior has at most only 1.5 bars of health left.
2 against 1.5! The advantage is on my side!
Lu Yibei was very excited.
…Then he didn’t even get to see the third female warrior before the game ended abruptly.
Lu Yibei couldn't even understand how he had lost such a favorable situation.
"Student Lu~"
Ms. Ji's soft laughter reached my ears, and she asked in a cool, clear voice, "Do you think you've already won?"
Lu Yibei turned his head and looked at the girl beside him whose eyes were slightly curved.
"...The handle is a bit slippery," Lu Yibei said.
"Change to another one?" Ji Qingqian shook the one in her hand.
"Change!"
"Let's make this clear beforehand, you owe me one thing," Ji Qingqian said.
"what do you want to do?"
"I haven't decided yet, we'll talk about it later... Do you still want to come?"
"…Come!"
A gentleman will not leave this grudge unavenged!
Second round! Ready to go!
Things are getting better, Lu Yibei felt that everything was getting better.
His Kusanagi almost completely overwhelmed the female warrior Yagami, only taking a single light punch.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it caused no harm.
A fully healed Kusanagi calmly dealt with the heroine's second-in-command, Billy, who wielded a staff.
