The other side of the Dil'dixiu Mountain Range

"Grandiere, how much longer until we reach your agreed location?"

"Sister Yelibell, we'll arrive at the agreed location in about 15 minutes."

Upon hearing Grandiere Two's reply, Yelibell said with interest, "Fourteen minutes? In that case, how about the three of us have a competition to see who can get to the agreed location first?"

As soon as Yelibell finished speaking, Grandiere Two immediately nodded in agreement. Faced with the decision of the majority of members, Grandiere shook his head and said weakly, "Fine, I'll play along with you two childish brats!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Grandiere a Gale Force, then sped off into the distance. Watching Grandiere's preemptive start, Yelibell huffed, "You called us childish, but wasn't her preemptive start childish too? Honestly!"

"Sister Yelibell, let's hurry and catch up, otherwise Sister Grandiere will reach the finish line!"

"Okay, let's give chase!"

The main peak of the Dil'dixiu Mountain Range

Looking at the familiar scenery around him and the mountaintop getting closer and closer, Grandiere felt extremely proud.

"Hmph! When it comes to speed, I, Grandiere, have never lost to anyone!"

Grandiere just finished marveling at his incredible speed when a dissenting voice came from behind him.

"Sister Grandiere, what you're saying is a bit too absolute!"

"Exactly! And let me tell you, jumping the gun is a shameless and childish act!"

Grandiere turned his head, made a face at Yelibell, and said, "No matter what, I'm the winner of this competition, not the two of you!"

After saying that, Grandiere accelerated forward again, Yelibell and the other person immediately gave chase.

Fifteen minutes later, the three men, still grappling, landed together on a platform atop the mountain.

"Grandiere, let go of me right now, or I'll get rough with you!"

"If you want me to let go, then move your foot first!"

"Let go first!"

"Move your foot first!"

The two were arguing fiercely when a mumbled, indistinct voice came from between them.

"You two let go, I'm about to suffocate!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Upon hearing the sound, the two realized there was another embarrassing factor lodged near their most awkward areas. Two screams rang out, followed by the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, and finally, two crisp slaps. Sordil, clutching his red and swollen cheek, cried out to the two perpetrators, "You two squeezed me in the middle, making it hard for me to breathe, and then you hit me!"

Grandiere abruptly turned her head to the sky, staring thoughtfully at the drifting clouds, as if there were something strange about them. However, her blushing cheeks and the occasional downward glances betrayed her true intentions. Unlike Grandiere's evasiveness, Yelibell, regaining her composure, knelt before Sordil and decisively admitted her mistake.

"I'm so sorry, little brother Sordil! I didn't mean to hit you, I just acted impulsively..."

Sordil looked at Yelibell with tears streaming down his face, then choked out, "Sister Yelibell, I understand everything you're saying, but I just..."

"Oh! Sweetie! Sweetie! Don't cry anymore!"

After a series of gentle head pats, Sordil finally recovered from the slap incident and regained his spirits.

After appeasing Sordil, Yelibell looked around. She then noticed that besides the three of them, there were no other creatures on the platform. Curious, she asked, "Didn't you agree to meet your friends here? Why don't I see them?"

Upon hearing Yelibell's question, Grandiere, who had finished admiring the clouds, replied, "That guy Igneel is always slow to get things done; it's normal for him to be a few days late."

"It's also possible that Brother Igneel overslept on his way here and miscalculated the time, and is now rushing here as fast as he can!"

"Hmm, we can't rule out that possibility!"

After learning about their current situation, Yelibell said speechlessly, "So what do we do now?"

Grandiere pointed to the five caves on the mountain wall, then said to the extremely disappointed Yelibell, "If you feel bored, you can go and rest in the cave. We'll call you out when Igneel arrives."

"Compared to sleeping, I still find it more interesting to stay outside and wait for someone."

"Since Sister Yelibell is bored, let's play a game to pass the time!"

After Sordil suggested playing a game, Grandiere immediately stared at him warily, then asked in a suspicious tone, "You don't mean you want to play Truth or Dare with the two of us, do you?"

Faced with Grandiere's questioning, Sordil said righteously, "How could I play such a dangerous game with my two older sisters! The game I'm going to play with you two this time is called Dragon King Fighting, it's a card game, and it's very interesting!"

Hearing their conversation, Yelibell, a bystander, asked curiously, "What is Truth or Dare? Why is it dangerous? And what is Dragon King? Is it fun?"

Seeing Yelibell's interest in Truth or Dare, Grandiere grinned mischievously and said, "Tonight, you and Sordil play Truth or Dare, and you'll find out what it is. As for the Dragon King, I've never heard of him before. If you want to know what it's about, just ask your brother Sordil!"

Yelibell that Grandiere had no good intentions in having her play Truth or Dare or Dare with Sordil. So she automatically dismissed the words "Truth or Dare" from her mind and shifted her focus to the Dragon King.

"Little brother Sordil, what kind of game is Dragon King?"

Seeing that Yelibell had shifted the topic to the Dragon King, Sordil quickly took out a huge wooden box from his storage space. Then, he took out many wooden cards carved with strange patterns from the box. He explained to Yelibell, "Sister Yelibell, look! These cards are black and red, and there are twenty-seven cards of each color. These two cards with dragon carvings are called Dragon King Card. In the game, the Dragon King Card are the highest level."

Yelibell took the card from Sordil, examined the design carefully, and then asked, "Between these two Dragon King Card, which one is of a higher level?"

Sordil gave Yelibell an encouraging look and then said, "Of these two Dragon King Card, the red Dragon King Card is of a higher rank than the black Dragon King Card and is the highest rank in the entire deck."

"What about the remaining cards?"

"The remaining fifty-two cards each have a specific number engraved on them, along with a corresponding symbol. The card with the number three is the lowest rank, the card with the number two is the highest rank, and then the card with the number one. As for the other cards, the larger the number engraved on them, the higher their rank."

"Apart from the numbers, every thirteen cards with identical colors and patterns are called cards of the same suit. In the game, cards of the same suit with consecutive numbers can be played together, and this hand type is called a straight. In addition to straights, there are also various other hand types such as full houses, Consecutive Pairs, Pairs."

Grandiere had initially shown no interest in the Dragon King, suddenly asked upon hearing this, "So, how exactly do you play this game?"

Sordil smiled slightly at Grandiere and continued, "At the start of the game, three cards are randomly drawn from the deck as the bottom cards. Then, the three players take turns drawing cards in an agreed-upon order until all the cards are dealt. After the cards are dealt, the three players can decide whether to become the Dragon King based on the quality of their cards. The Dragon King stands alone, while the other two become teammates to fight against the Dragon King. If the Dragon King wins, the other two players will be punished; otherwise, the Dragon King will be punished by the other two members."

Sordil stared into the two women's gleaming eyes, then asked in a seductive tone, "So, do you two ladies want to play?"
