Chapter 684 - 633 Lanci and Talia’s Mutual Torment
Below the stage of the Love Obstacle Corridor College limited event.
"They are really so adorable."
"You can tell they are natural comedians at a glance."
The audience, who had stopped to watch in the central courtyard of Gold Bee Amusement Park, chirped and chattered with their opinions.
Only the Cat Boss knew how anxious Lanci was feeling right now.
He’s really going to cry, meow.
When it came to professional spirit, the Cat Boss admired Lanci.
To complete his job, Lanci would sacrifice himself without hesitation if necessary.
Such a merciless mercenary.
Amidst the incessant noise of the real world, the graffitied space filled with bright colors continued to change the ground and the sky in unconventional ways, constantly bursting with strange light effects and game sound effects.
Lanci and Talia were like two time travelers in this classroom, facing the cartoon bee host floating in the distance.
"Since you have both chosen to continue, let’s see the next question!"
The host drew another card, flipped it, and revealed a new question.
[Fifth Question (Male): How often do you think of her when you’re apart?]
[ A. 0 times]
[ B. 1-10 times]
[ C. 10-100 times]
[ D. Over 100 times]
"If the answer is A, that’s the end of it, it means he doesn’t love her at all. B is still okay, C is a bit exaggerated, that’s like he can’t live without her."
The audience’s discussion reached them.
Talia was originally uninterested in the question.
But then she thought about it and became a bit curious whether Lanci had thought of her during his time in the Northern Continent.
[ D]
The small blackboard in Lanci’s hands boldly displayed his answer.
Talia looked at Lanci’s face with surprise, a trace of redness spreading across her cheeks.
However, the next second she figured it out and clenched her fists.
Because every time Lanci thought of her, it must be about some damn thing.
Who in the world thinks of someone over a hundred times a day!!
Sweat was still beading on Lanci’s forehead, and the more raucous the jeering from the audience below became, the more each second felt like an eternity to him.
"I really underestimated you two, you are such a nauseatingly sweet couple."
The host said with eyes that held disbelief,
"I didn’t expect someone as cool as you to be so clingy with her."
Talia placed her cold hand on the back of Lanci’s neck, gently whispering into his ear.
Lanci suddenly turned his head to look at her with astonishment, feeling like a little kitten that she could pick up at any moment, not daring to laugh anymore.
It was only at that moment that he seemed to suddenly see a Queen of the Demon Race.
While the two of them were looking at each other and hadn’t yet turned back to the host, they heard his voice.
"Alright, let’s see the seventh question—"
[Seventh Question (Male & Female): What is the most awkward thing between the two of you?]
The moment the banner appeared in the corner of their eyes, they both abruptly realized they needed to gather their thoughts.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
[So cute I want to eat you up]
[So cute I want to eat you up]
The answer starkly appeared on both of their small blackboards.
"Oh my!!"
When the answer appeared, the entire venue fell silent for a moment as if even the air had solidified; then, the instant the last letter on the small blackboard settled, the central courtyard erupted in deafening cheers.
Some players covered their mouths in surprise, others showed expressions of shock and excitement, staring intently at the center of the screen.
Even though the audience below the stage didn’t understand the specific circumstances of this awkward matter or the process, they could feel through the screen how flamboyantly the two were playing!
As if to set the scene, the director immediately switched the background music to a new song that had recently started trending in Ichrite.
「♫ Dear, you are so cute today too, cute enough that I want to eat you up instead of breakfast~」
「♫ Your cuteness intoxicates me so, before memories begin to fade, I want to stay by your side forever like a lucid dream~」
「♫ oh~ I feel like I’m suffocating, yet you are the air, I can’t wait a moment longer~」
When that familiar sweet and clear voice sounded, Lanci didn’t dare to look over at Tata anymore.
Tata was silent now, not even questioning Lanci right away.
Beads of sweat started to form on Lanci’s forehead, and he remained motionless.
Both of them wanted to die now.
"Congratulations on completing seven questions! There will be a short advertisement break next, and we’ve received a message from the director that it’s time for a shift change. If the two of you wish to continue, please wait a moment," said the host.
He remembered the silver-haired girl declaring they would play to the end earlier, so if neither side raised any objections, the show would automatically continue.
...
Outside the graffiti classroom in the Shadow World.
The screen momentarily switched to advertisements amidst the music, but the audience in the central courtyard didn’t leave. They looked forward with even greater anticipation to the rest of the program.
"Loren, this show is really fun; no wonder everyone is looking forward to watching it," Juliana commented.
She and Loren had by now found seats in the audience stands opposite the stage, comfortably watching this reality show.
"Yeah, I think it’s pretty good too," Loren said with a hearty laugh.
Although if it were him and Juliana onstage being asked those questions, there might be a bit of awkwardness, but overall, they would be able to get through the challenge, not like that gentleman above being asked until he was restless.
