Trip: Imperial Capital Arc (11): Another Round of the Pocky Game?

late at night.

Because of this King's Game, everyone made a ruckus all night, and it wasn't until almost midnight that everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Inside Chisa's room.

At this moment, the beautiful girl with long, straight black hair was holding the Bozai doll in her hands, lost in thought.

"Bozai, how should I respond to my senior...?"

Her voice quickly faded into the quiet night. Chisa knew very well that the doll in front of her was just an inanimate object, but when she couldn't make up her mind, she would subconsciously turn to this reliable partner for help.

If Bozai were really by her side right now, he would probably first hand her a fruit cake covered in cream and a cup of coffee, and then, over these meals, act like a relationship coach, instructing her on how to handle this passionate affection.

Bozai has always been like this. From the first day we met, whenever Chisa returned to the coffee shop after a long day of running around trying to solve the crisis in Hozumi City, he would always serve her a plate of cake and a cup of coffee, giving her time to replenish her energy and calm her emotions.

Without a doubt, Bozai has always been her good partner and collaborator, always able to provide her with necessary help and emotional comfort when she needs it most.

Until Xiao Ling arrived in Hozumi City by chance.

Chisa deeply admired this senior from the Star Torch Academy because he was truly reliable, not only powerful but also sharing the same passion as her.

She asked him why he had gone to such lengths to help her, and he simply gave her a gentle smile and an answer very much in his style.

"In Hozumi City, this cycle has repeated itself time and time again, but you have never turned a blind eye to those cries for help. We are comrades, so I believe in you and hope to share this heavy responsibility with you."

These words, neither too harsh nor too mild, struck a chord with her perfectly, making her more eager than ever to know what the person standing before her looked like.

Then she actually saw it.

With her neat short hair, a high ponytail, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes, she possessed a gentle yet compassionate golden gaze beneath her angular and assertive exterior.

The rest of the story is a classic trope: Chisa and Xiao Ling work together to end the eternal summer in Hozumi City, and then she musters up the courage to give him a gift she made herself. The story ends there—or at least it should.

After arriving in this world, at Aemeath's suggestion, she originally didn't intend to bother this reliable senior, since he in this world was probably just an ordinary person living an ordinary life.

As for the final outcome, those who know, know. After learning about their situation, Xiao Ling intervened without hesitation, taking them under her wing to live together and cooking them a variety of meals.

She felt that these days were peaceful and happy, and it would be wonderful if she could continue like this forever.

Until she discovered that her trusted companions had unknowingly taken their relationships with their seniors to the next level, and similarly, many female confidantes who harbored feelings for their seniors also came one after another, making it impossible for her to remain a bystander any longer.

She thought her feelings for Xiao Ling had changed during their time together, but after returning to her room, she spent some time analyzing herself and finally understood something.

Kuchiba Chisa fell into this sweet trap called "love" from the very beginning, and there's no way to save her.

No, perhaps it's not accurate to say that. The only solution to save her is right beside her now.

Looking back now, I wish I had been more honest back then...

Chisa glanced at the opened Pocky on the bedside table, a sudden idea forming in her mind, and a sly smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

However, this belated frankness might just be timely in his eyes.

Inside Xiao Ling's room.

"Senior, would you like to play Pocky again?"

Xiao Ling was just about to go to sleep, saw Chisa enter in her pajamas with a Pocky stick in her hand, and her eyes lit up.

Late at night, a shy girl in her pajamas, her collar slightly open revealing her delicate and beautiful collarbone, holds up a Pocky stick and invites herself to play the game—a scene completely straight out of a special CG from Ga La Ge Mu.

"Want to have another match?" Xiao Ling asked with a light laugh.

"Mmm." Chisa smiled, her shallow dimples making her smile even more captivating.

Is there a penalty for losing?

"Certainly."

"Although I feel it's a bit inappropriate to be playing games at this hour, I accept your challenge."

Chisa nodded twice, then sat down next to Xiao Ling and put a Pocky stick in her mouth.

Seeing that the other party was so proactive, Xiao Ling naturally bit the other end of the Pocky.

After exchanging a knowing glance, the two simultaneously began munching on Pocky and gradually moved closer to each other's faces.

Five centimeters... four centimeters... three centimeters... two centimeters...

As they drew closer, Chisa's heart pounded faster and faster. The thought of the bold move she was about to make made her heart pound uncontrollably.

So, after Chisa ate the last bit of Pocky, she took the opportunity to push her senior onto the bed and kissed his lips.

Xiao Ling, who was being held down, looked surprised for a moment. Well, he was the one who pushed others before, but this time it was the other way around.

Although Chisa had rehearsed kissing countless times in her mind, she was still quite awkward when it came to actually doing it, and Xiao Ling quickly regained control.

"Is this punishment for my failure in the game?" Xiao Ling asked, a smirk playing on his lips as he looked at Chisa was almost breathless from his kiss.

"No." Holding Xiao Ling in her arms, Chisa's cheeks flushed, but she still shook her head firmly. "My punishment is only just beginning."

After saying that, she flipped over and pinned Xiao Ling down again, and began to undress.

"Tonight, you can only look at me, senior, and you're not allowed to look away!" she declared, asserting her possessiveness.

Xiao Ling: Since you're being so proactive, then I won't hold back.

"With such a beauty throwing herself into my arms, how could I possibly ruin this rare moment of pleasure?" Xiao Ling said with a wicked smile, "Bring on whatever tricks you have up your sleeve."

Unsurprisingly, after only a few rounds, Chisa, who had initially held the initiative, was once again pinned down by Hajiling.

"Senior... um~" Chisa hugged his neck tightly, her eyes filled with desire, her face flushed, and said, "Please possess me as much as you like..."

"Yes, sir." Xiao Ling's hoarse voice carried a hint of satisfied laughter.

He felt that such punishment was quite physically demanding, but he was strong and healthy and not afraid at all.

So, you know, what he means is, he wants more of this kind of punishment in the future; he really loves it!
