Chapter 559 - Chapter 34: This game is so white... no, the neck is so fun...

Lancer could be said to be diligently clearing out demons nearby. Doing so not only protected the safety of the people near the bamboo mountain, but he also conveniently filmed some scenes that he thought might be quite good. However, although he is the one who 'filmed,' the person actually doing the filming is 'Zero.'

It sounds a bit funny, but 'Zero's height isn't much taller than the camera when it's upright, resulting in a strange T-shaped configuration. Fortunately, 'Zero's main body is a weapon and not a human, otherwise, this camera would probably press her down directly.

And just as Lancer was subjugating demons, Fujiwara no Fuhito and the others once again arrived at Kaguya-hime door.

"Miss Kaguya-hime, I apologize for disturbing you after such a long time."

Even though they had just left yesterday, Kaguya Houraisan still had to show a fake smile when facing their greetings, but her eyes were somewhat wandering, as if she was secretly glancing at something?

And Fujiwara no Fuhito and the others also noticed Kaguya-hime 'abnormality' today.

The slightly tired expression on her face and the slightly furrowed brow, for some unknown reason, gave her a unique charm.

There is no doubt that these loli-lovers are completely beyond help, but this is probably what is called 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' right?

And just as they were asking after her health, Kaguya Houraisan couldn't help but internally complain ——————

'You want to help me? Then hurry up and leave!'

The thing she was secretly glancing at was actually the tablet hidden under the hem of her kimono.

The 'battle video' and 'landscape video' that Lancer showed her before did make her somewhat curious, but that was all. However, the 'Bird Game' she accidentally discovered later piqued her interest, especially since the game was extremely simple at the beginning, making her quickly get hooked. But when she played through it, she found that she didn't achieve a three-star clear, which made her slightly unhappy. After all, she is the Princess of the Moon. How can she not get a three-star clear in such a childish (self-proclaimed) thing?

She then rushed headlong into it without hesitation, but unfortunately, she just couldn't do it. After spending nearly half an hour without any progress, and with the temptation of 'start the next level,' she thought, 'I'll solve the later ones first, and come back to deal with these earlier ones later,' and clicked on the next level.

And it was precisely because of this that she stepped into a huge pit...

From 'clearing the level in a few seconds' at the start, to 'needing to think for a while to clear the level,' then to 'being unable to perfectly clear the level,' until finally 'getting stuck'...

This is probably the journey of a normal person getting hooked on a game, right?

And without a doubt, Kaguya-hime is already hooked at this point, and heavily addicted. She even played all night, relying on her 'Hourai person' characteristic of not dying. If her body wasn't so special, what Fujiwara no Fuhito and the others would be seeing right now would probably be a 'panda' with dark circles.

'Ugh, how do I beat that level?'

Kaguya Houraisan barely paid attention to the words of the people in front of her; she was completely preoccupied with how to clear the level she was stuck on.

But what she didn't know was that her seemingly aloof expression mixed with a hint of melancholy made those old men even more excited, as if they had reached a climax...

——————

Lancer felt that the recent 'Kaguya-hime' was a bit strange.

He wondered if it was his misconception, but he always felt that the other party seemed more tired than usual?

'Could it be that those old men are really that formidable, actually capable of bothering the legendary Kaguya-hime to the point of exhaustion?'

Moreover, he always felt that the other party seemed... as if... she had something to say to him, but every time he cast his gaze over, the other party would unconsciously look away. This strange attitude made them both not know how to react.

But just as he was sitting cross-legged and drinking tea ————

"Lancer..."

The sudden voice from behind made Lancer pause because this was the first time the other party had actively spoken to him.

"Is there something wrong?"

Lancer was quite curious, what was the reason for the other party talking to him? And looking at the slightly flushed cheeks and nervous eyes of the other party, could it be ——————

"Lancer, can you... help me clear this level?"

Looking at Kaguya Houraisan, whose face was full of bashfulness, holding the tablet with both hands, Lancer was completely bewildered, and his mind was full of 'Meow meow meow?'

This plot development is a bit off, isn't it? Why is the other party not following the script? Shouldn't the other party be asking him to take her outside to see the world out of curiosity?

What the heck is going on now?

Lancer, somewhat confused, took the tablet from the other party's hands, and then, with a strange expression, looked at the red and plump little bird on the screen. His expression immediately became somewhat profound. This thing looks so familiar. He remembers that he used to love playing it when he was a student, but since he went to university and got a laptop, he hasn't touched this kind of 'mini-game' again.

However, at this moment, he didn't care why 'Kaguya-hime' was playing this. After all, in his opinion, this game should be a 'pre-installed game' on the tablet, and the other party might have stumbled upon it out of boredom. Anyway, this tablet is new, not the one he used that had... cough cough, in short, Lancer didn't pay too much attention at this time and directly took the tablet and started operating it.

It must be said that he is indeed an old hand, and an old hand who had previously read guides. Lancer played very smoothly, and Kaguya-hime, who was originally sitting upright on the side, quietly moved closer to Lancer at some point.

Looking at the back of her head, which had somehow moved closer to him, the snow-white skin revealed from the back of her neck as she bowed her head, and that seemingly mysterious black space... Lancer froze for a moment.

And it was precisely because of this pause that his action in his hand went wrong. The little bird that should have hit the wood instantly drew a strange arc and then flew off to who knows where.

"Agh~ What are you doing, Lancer!"

And at this moment, Kaguya Houraisan complaining voice woke Lancer up. He quickly shifted his gaze and focused entirely on the screen.

'I'm not a loli-lover, this was just an accident, yes, just an accident.'

After giving himself a self-hypnosis, Lancer sat up straight again, and to conceal his embarrassment, he couldn't help but say defensively.

"It's all because your hair blocked my sight..."

Lancer hadn't finished speaking when Kaguya-hime, who had her hands braced on the floor, paused for a moment and then very decisively retracted her head that was leaning out.

Seeing the other party quietly retract her head without saying a word made Lancer feel a bit strange.

When did the other party become so obedient?

Although the progress is somewhat smooth for now, for some reason, he always feels like something is missing?
