The Advantage is Mine!

Xingyu waited until morning.

As the morning sun streamed in, the sleeping Xingyu shot up as if electrocuted.

“Seriously, what is wrong with her?!”

Where is she?!

Where did that bastard go?

Xingyu was utterly bewildered; she had actually waited an entire night for Elera!

“How could I get stood up like this?!”

‘Has this big sister lost her charm, or did that bratty imp change her kinks?’

Xingyu was truly at a loss.
She could understand being stood up by anyone else, but being stood up by a lecherous little brat like Elera was simply unacceptable!

Then, her expression gradually dimmed.

“It seems the negotiations failed… Liyun…”

Then, she looked upstairs.

“They’re still going at it…”

Because she was on a high floor, the surroundings were relatively quiet, allowing her to hear some noises from other rooms.

Since last night, there had been clattering and banging from upstairs, the whole floor creaking, and she could faintly hear the beautiful sounds of a girl.

That voice seemed to possess some kind of magic.
Xingyu, who initially had no such intentions, listened all night until she was mentally exhausted, only managing to fall asleep peacefully after taking care of things herself.

Who would have thought they were still at it upstairs even now.

“Such boundless energy.”

“…”

“Maybe… I should sneak up and take a look?”

“No, no! How could I do something like that! Wouldn’t that bring shame to all magical girls?”

Xingyu smashed her face with a pillow, trying to knock some sense back into herself.

Ah.

Just as she was thinking this, a loud “BOOM” of something heavy hitting the floor echoed from above, and the upstairs room finally fell silent.

Upstairs.

Luo You brewed a cup of tea and sat down on a chair, feeling melancholic.

The bed had collapsed.

After being busy all night, the huge crash completely broke Luo You’s concentration, bringing the battle to a halt.

Watching the little birds fly past the window, the seemingly overworked Luo You’s dazed eyes gradually regained their focus.

But this moment of melancholy didn’t last long.
Soon, a pair of arms wrapped around her waist, a surprising softness pressing against her back.

“Are you tired?”

Luo You glanced back.

“No, are you really that durable? You didn’t even pass out from that?”

“I’m not as fragile as you think.”

Xingyue chuckled lightly.
Even though the expensive bed had collapsed, her image as the First Seat magical girl had not.

This was the grit of the First Seat!

“Satisfied this time?” Xingyue asked.

“It was alright, I guess.”

Luo You’s words were betrayed by her satisfied aura, and seeing this, Xingyue’s lips curled into a smug smile.

“Aren’t you tired?”

“Why would I be tired? In this witch’s dictionary, there’s no such thing as an exhausted bull, only a well-plowed field.”

“If that’s the case, there’s something I’d like to discuss with the great and peerless Lady Elera.”

“Speak. What is it? Want to go for round 3.0? I don’t mind.”

Luo You was in an excellent mood now, as if the once high-and-mighty Xingyue had fallen to the mortal realm and become her little handmaiden.

Only then did Xingyue reveal an expression of accomplishment, saying, “Actually, one of the magical girls from our Magical Alliance can no longer transform, and we’d like to ask for your help in resolving it.”

“She can’t transform into a magical girl anymore? What’s that got to do with me?” Luo You replied instantly.

‘Hmm? Wait, I feel like someone else mentioned this to me too?’

“Of course it has to do with you. You should be very familiar with her. It’s the Sixth Seat, Liyun. Don’t tell me you’ve already forgotten her.”

“…Ah!!”

Luo You remembered.

She had left a magical girl waiting in the room downstairs all night.

“Speaking of which, how come even you are talking to me about this… Wait a minute. You… don’t tell me you deliberately cheated, waiting until I was satisfied before begging me to do something for you from a subordinate position?”

“How could you call it deliberate cheating? My original plan was that if you hadn’t discovered my cheating, I would have made you agree to this in a state of extreme♀pleasure.”

Xingyue’s shapely eyebrows curved as she smiled like a bewitching vixen.

A surge of anger rushed to Luo You’s head.

“Is that so? Well, if your performance from now on can satisfy me, I might just possibly agree. (angry)”

“Da~me. Unless I get a definite answer, I don’t want to continue making meaningless sacrifices.”

“Ho ho… so that’s how it is. You’re trying to pull this on me, are you?” Luo You sneered.

‘For a mere piece of prey to speak to me like this, have you forgotten what I do for a living?’

‘…Well, that’s what I say, but.’

Luo You gave a cryptic smile. “Fine. Since you’re already tired, I won’t force you.”

Then, under Xingyue’s unsettled gaze, she started putting on her clothes.

‘How could this be? Is she playing games with me?’

Xingyue watched her movements, not stopping her for the moment, wanting to see what trick she was trying to pull.

Then she saw Luo You walk to the door and unlock it with a ‘click’.

She lifted her leg, stepping halfway out.

‘Impossible! Is she really ending it just like that?’

Xingyue’s eyes widened.
She finally couldn’t hold back anymore and demanded, “Where are you going?”

“Didn’t you say there’s no follow-up? I’m going elsewhere to start the second half,” Luo You said nonchalantly.

“The second half?”

“It means seamlessly moving on to another magical girl. Understand now? She’s waiting for me nearby.”

Luo You put one hand on her hip, the nature of a scum woman on full display.

‘Ba~~ka! You’re stunned, aren’t you! It’s not like you’re the only one for me!’

‘After being conquered, Xingyue is just one of my many vessels!’

“Well then, see ya~~”

“Wait right there.”

With a call full of authority and killing intent, the room’s door slammed shut with a ‘bang’.

Turning back, she saw Xingyue’s fingertips glowing with magical light.
Her head was lowered, her expression unreadable.

Luo You’s eyes burst with a captivating light. “What? You still want to play rough with me?”

“The Royal Duel… isn’t over yet.”

“Hah? I’ve already scanned you from every possible angle, with no blind spots, and you’re still spouting such nonsense.”

“Oh? And so?”

Xingyue raised her head and closed the distance in just a few quick strides.

Her aura was overwhelming.

“Last night was merely a punitive measure for my cheating. In reality, the Royal Duel isn’t over, you know? We have to follow the rules, don’t we?”

“But you were clearly defeated without a shadow of a doubt last night, weren’t you?”

“Did I concede?”

“…You’re really stubborn, aren’t you? Fine then, I’d like to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!”

A drop of cold sweat trickled down the back of Luo You’s neck.

Seeing Xingyue’s posture, she no longer felt so certain of her victory.

‘It’s fine. No matter how durable she is, I gave her such a pounding last night that even the bed couldn’t take it and collapsed. How much HP could she possibly have left?’

‘In this contest, I have 800,000 HP, and she only has 60,000 left (probably). The advantage is mine!’

The next second, Xingyue used magic to piece the dying bed back together, forcing it to continue in a state where it could neither live in peace nor die in peace.

“You had the first move last night. According to the rules, it’s my turn now. If no winner is decided after we each take two turns, we enter an all-out brawl.”

“…Hah! Although I’d argue that since you cheated last night, the first move should still be mine… but what does it matter if I let you have it!”

Luo You fearlessly unfastened her clothes.

“Wait,” Xingyue said suddenly.

“Hm?”

“The socks. Don’t take them off.”

Under Luo You’s puzzled gaze, Xingyue added, “Just like that. I like it.”
