In fact, he didn't need to do anything. Xiao Hei could smash the heads of any Zombies that got close to him.
[ Ding~ Zombie *1 killed. Agility +1. ]
There weren't many Zombies in the dormitory, so Ye Yunchuan soon reached Matsushita Chiaki's dorm room.
"Hello, is Matsushita Chiaki in there?"
"Hello, I'm Matsushita Chiaki. Are you Ye Yunchuan?"
"Yes, that's me."
Ye Yunchuan replied coolly.
"Sorry, um, could you check whether there are any Zombies nearby?"
To his surprise, Matsushita Chiaki didn't open the door right away. Instead, she warily asked about the situation outside.
Didn't she trust his strength?
Or had that Karuizawa Kei girl not explained his situation to her?
"Don't worry. I took care of all of them on my way here."
He didn't know what else to say, so he could only answer that way.
"You took care of them? That sounds impressive."
Still doubtful, Matsushita Chiaki finally opened the door.
She had no choice.
She was just a weak girl, and in a situation like this, there was no way she could get food.
If things went on like this, she'd starve to death.
Rather than let that happen, she might as well place her bet early and invest in a reliable man.
Why hadn't she asked her family for help?
The truth was, her family could barely look after themselves.
They weren't going to come rescue her.
After thinking it over, she had no choice but to save herself.
The first person who came to mind was Karuizawa Kei.
What surprised her was that Karuizawa Kei had already been taken by a boy, and had become his plaything.
What left her at a loss for words was that Karuizawa Kei had encouraged her to join them, enthusiastically trying to sell her on her boyfriend.
As the daughter of a powerful business family,
she was certainly unwilling to become a man's plaything.
But the harsh reality of life had also made her painfully aware of her situation.
Apart from being good-looking and clever, she had few advantages over the other girls in Class D.
After all, there were simply too many girls in Class D who were prettier than her.
If the world really had ended, her looks probably wouldn't make much of an impression on men.
As for fighting her way out on her own—
Matsushita Chiaki wasn't foolish enough to rush off and get herself killed.
"Hm? Are you Yunchuan-kun?"
Matsushita Chiaki froze for a moment.
She'd met Ye Yunchuan before, and in her memory he hadn't been this handsome.
"If it isn't me, who else could it be? By the way, have you caught a cold?"
The girl's cheeks were flushed, so Ye Yunchuan assumed she was sick.
"No..." Matsushita Chiaki shyly looked away. Once she'd composed herself, she smiled and said,
"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but you seem a lot more handsome, Yunchuan-kun."
"Really? I think so too!"
Ye Yunchuan rubbed his chin, quite pleased with himself.
He couldn't help it. He really had gotten more handsome.
There was no denying that.
"Pfft~"
Seeing how conceited he was, Matsushita Chiaki couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.
A single glance back could enchant a city.
Matsushita Chiaki wasn't among the very prettiest girls, but the refined air she'd acquired growing up in such privileged surroundings gave her smile a unique charm.
Even Ye Yunchuan was momentarily captivated.
"Has nobody ever told you that you're conceited, Yunchuan-kun?"
"Not really. So far, you're the only one who's said that to me. It's made me just a tiny bit unhappy."
Ye Yunchuan narrowed his eyes and deliberately put on a menacing expression.
He wanted to scare the young lady.
"Then I truly am sorry, Yunchuan-kun. Please allow me to offer you my sincere apologies."
Matsushita Chiaki gave him a playful wink.
She's pretty quick with her words.
Ye Yunchuan muttered under his breath. After studying Matsushita Chiaki for a moment, he said,
"We've been talking for a while. Aren't you hungry, Matsushita?"
"Ugh, of course I am. Please forgive my boldness, Yunchuan-kun, but could you give me something to eat?
"If you can help me, I'll be eternally grateful and serve you however I can."
As she spoke, Matsushita Chiaki bowed deeply to Ye Yunchuan.
"Sure, anyone can make promises. That's not what I want."
Ye Yunchuan pursed his lips.
Dealing with clever women was such a pain.
They always thought they could use their wits to get something for nothing.
As he spoke, he walked in without waiting for an invitation. He closed the door, then sat down by Matsushita Chiaki's bed.
"Hmph. Aren't you trying to get something for nothing too, Yunchuan-kun? I don't see you bringing any food."
Matsushita Chiaki was displeased.
She wasn't stupid.
Until she'd seen the food, she wasn't about to give herself away for nothing.
"Heh."
Ye Yunchuan said nothing.
He simply raised his hand.
Clap, clap, clap~
Milk, bread, and sausages rained down onto the bed.
The magical sight left the girl wide-eyed.
But Ye Yunchuan wasn't about to let her off the hook.
He stared straight at her and said,
"Matsushita Chiaki—say something!"
"..."
The girl didn't say a word. She simply picked up the bread and milk and began to eat.
Ye Yunchuan didn't stop her. He just sat there quietly watching.
After she'd finished eating and cleaned up the trash,
the girl slowly unfastened the first button of her collar. Just as she was about to undo the second, she seemed to remember something and toppled straight backward.
She spread her arms, displaying her ample figure to Ye Yunchuan, then bashfully turned her face to one side and said softly,
"I don't know whether you like things to be complicated, Yunchuan-kun.
"So I'll leave the choice to you.
"By the way, this is my first time. Please be gentle with me."
"As you wish, my lady!"
Ye Yunchuan grinned.
As expected of a young lady, Matsushita Chiaki knew how to set the mood.
What a coincidence!
He loved peeling back the layers one by one.
Not only could he see a girl in a shy, flustered state, he could also stack his attack speed in quick succession.
Why wouldn't he?
Chapter 23: Gaming
What was it like to play a game with a young lady?
Ye Yunchuan could sum it up in three words.
A thrilling battle!
"That's it?"
Whether it was because Ye Yunchuan's earlier words had provoked her or not, Matsushita Chiaki was positively spoiling for a fight now.
"What? You can't take it?"
Ye Yunchuan was a little surprised.
A one-on-one showdown.
He was K'Sante, and his opponent was Lux.
The young lady, pulled back by the second cast of his Peerless Axe's Q, should have been panicking. But surprisingly, she held her ground and refused to surrender.
Still, she seemed to be barely hanging on.
She kept taunting him because she'd noticed Ye Yunchuan was in poor shape too.
"Hmph. If you're so good, let's play another round."
"Fine. I refuse to believe I can't beat you."
Full of confidence, Ye Yunchuan controlled K'Sante and activated his All Out.
Unfortunately, he activated it at low health, and his opponent was Lux from Demacia.
So, of course, she caught him with a Q and then finished him off with her ultimate.
"Ye Yunchuan, say something!"
"..."
That combo had been so smooth that it left Ye Yunchuan completely speechless.
His health bar was empty. He couldn't use Path Maker or Footwork—not a single ability.
