The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　"Let me be healthy."

　After drinking most of the chicken soup in his bowl, Dak took out the undecorated "flower card".

　Aurora immediately moved to his side and behind him, staring intently at the face of the "Flower Cards" like a ghost.

　For Dark, manipulating the images and quantities displayed on the cards was a piece of cake.

　But he did not do so at that time.

　As magic is infused, people who are very familiar to both sides are naturally displayed on the cards of "Hanafuta".

　"It's Aunt Alvitt..."

　As everyone knows, Darko Dimon is his mother's little darling.

　Aurora doesn't believe she can replace Alvitt in Dark's heart.

　However, the number of Arvites is just right for reference.

　Her gaze quickly fell on the top of the portrait—there were eight stars there!

　Dark's will had been tempered, and given that the principles were known in advance, it was even less likely to be shaken.

　It is already extremely incredible that eight tiles can be displayed in the "Hanafuda".

　It's important to know that even Professor Cazell, who built a deep trust in him through countless examples after he regained his memories, only had seven.

　"Professor Cazell's formula ensures that the number of 'flower cards' is roughly adjusted based on the person the holder cares about most, thus preventing situations where a person only has two or three points of affection for them."

　Dak added a few more words, saying...

　"Our main purpose in distributing 'flower cards' is to use them to select the breeders of the 'Cerebrolysmic Demon.'"

　……

　Aurora already knew some of the specifics beforehand.

　She nodded slightly and asked, "Did you find it?"

　"This will certainly take some time. If I were the 'breeder,' I wouldn't easily come into contact with something of unknown origin after just going through a major investigation. However, given the current trend, as long as he doesn't cut off his social life, it's only a matter of time before he comes into contact with 'Hanafuda' (a type of Japanese card game)."

　Dak sighed.

　The rapid rise in popularity of "Hanafuda" has both advantages and disadvantages.

　He originally intended to subtly release more "flower cards" after selling over a hundred.

　Now everyone's eyes are on the "flower cards," making it harder to implement some pre-set strategies.

　"Why don't we just put them up at the cafeteria entrance and let people buy them?"

　Dark muttered something to himself, then continued.

　How favorable is your opinion of Lord Montilfali?

　……

　Aurora then handed the "flower card" with blooming pink flowers to Dak.

　The image of Lord Montilfali, as dazzling as the sun, was then clearly revealed, with her arms crossed and a smirk on her lips.

　Dark quickly noticed the nine on the card and remarked with some emotion, "One more than mine."

　As he spoke, he pointed at the "flower card" in his hand, and the image of Alvitt on the card gradually faded away, while the image of Aurora slowly took shape.

　Aurora's eyes flickered slightly, then she stared intently.

　For her, this moment was also a moment to evaluate whether her efforts had been worthwhile.

　"One, two, three... there are six!"

　She counted the numbers quickly in her mind, and the morning glow swiftly reflected on her cheeks.

　She was very happy to have six stones, only two fewer than the number Dark had given her to Arvit.

　From June until now, she and Dak have only known each other for about half a year, which shows that she is attractive to Dak Dimon.

　"Keep it up, Aurora!"

　She whispered to herself, giving herself a sense of affirmation.

　……

　After honestly showing Aurora the number of cards, Dark took the opportunity to put away the "flower cards" and then asked, "And you?"

　Even Dak wouldn't be foolish enough to show his "affection" for women other than his mother in front of a woman.

　After that, Aurora also showed him her "liking" for him.

　That's one more star than his.

　Six divided by eight equals 0.75.

　Seven divided by nine equals approximately 0.78.

　In a sense, Aurora cared more about Dark than Dark cared about her.

　But how does it compare to June?

　Dark's affection for Aurora increased more during the past six months than Aurora's affection for Dark increased during the same period.

　This is because Aurora has a high default value for Dark, while Dark has a relatively low default value for Aurora.

　Moreover, the saying "it's easy for a woman to pursue a man" is not a joke.

　Dark Dimon isn't made of stone; how could he possibly be indifferent to a girl he's so close to?

　In short, after this comparison, Aurora was filled with joy.

　Meanwhile, Dak received a lot of inspirational words.

　……

　But the hellish trials were yet to come.

　Aurora did not continue to ask him to show "affection" for other girls.

　That's something that only needs to be done after a relationship has been established between the two parties.

　But the magical spirits don't care about any of that.

　After Dak escorted Aurora, with whom he had exchanged goodnights, back downstairs, Sylveon, who had been itching to get back to her room, pounced on her again.

　"OK OK."

　Dak hugged it and closed the door.

　Sylveon immediately shoved the "Flower Card" into his face.

　Dark had seen it countless times since he entered; the "flower card" displayed a terrifying ten!

　This terrifying number, which broke through the theoretical limits, even prevented the other magical spirits from jumping.

　"Perhaps this is the magical spirit of 'Paradise'..."

　Although Sylveon can sometimes do things that annoy him due to its personality, no one can dislike a Pokémon that so openly displays its love for itself.

　Dark sat back down, placed Sylveon on his lap, and gently kneaded it.

　"mum--"

　Sylveon immediately let out a comfortable cry.

　The other magical elves living in the dormitory also quickly took notice.

　However, under the pressure of Sylveon's ten stars, even the magical Pokémon that displayed nine stars were too embarrassed to show themselves.

　Little Devimon secretly hid his "flower card" under his pillow, too ashamed to admit it.

　It has a full eight stars of "favorability" towards Dark!

　But compared to Sylveon's ten stars, these eight stars, which are already quite high, seem so low.

　Meanwhile, Gatomon, who was leaning against the headboard reading a book, also used the book to cover his face.

　Although the number of "flower cards" displayed is influenced by various other factors, at this point, you simply can't compete.

　It boasts that its "loyalty" to Darkrai is no less than that to Sylveon. However, the number shown on the "Flower Cards" is only eight.

　This is even less impressive than the later arrival, who was filled with disgust – "Renamon"!

　"It must be because of 'paradise'!"

　Tailmon saw the nine stars displayed after Renamon used Hanafuda and immediately said...

　These "arrogant" magical spirits are certainly not as shameless as the "blissful" magical spirits, which is why their numbers are smaller!

　But I should mention this as an aside.

　"Eevee: Eevee" also has nine stars.

　If it weren't for Sylveon's ten stars before it, the magical Pokémon currently nestled in Dark's arms would definitely be this one!

　"Bu-ee—"

　Even Ibu's cries were trembling.

　During this period, it received a new three-star skin and gained a higher-level evolved form, giving it a psychological advantage when facing Sylveon.

　Unexpectedly, the advantage they had just accumulated was wiped out on the spot after the appearance of "Hanafuda"!

　"Buee-ee-ee—"

　When Sylveon strutted past it with its "flower sign" in hand, it wished it could bite off its ribbon.

　……

　"mum!"

　After enjoying the experience for a while, Sylveon was not fooled.

　It tapped its "flower card" with another ribbon-like tentacle, and rubbed its soft face against Dak's face.

　But Dak remained unmoved.

　Even so, it's impossible for it to treat all magical spirits equally.

　Differential treatment is a major taboo that can affect family harmony!

　"If I can't refuse Aurora, how could I not refuse you?"

　So he was completely entangled by Sylveon.

　But this sense of constraint is nothing compared to the breakdown of the family!

　……

　"Ah, I'm a little tired today! I have class tomorrow morning. (Read in a monotone tone)"

　After enduring some time, Dark put Sylveon on the bed and hid in the bathroom.

　But after he soaked in the bathtub, he secretly picked up the "Hanafuda" cards.

　To be honest, after exchanging exhibits with Aurora, he also felt a surge of curiosity.

　How many hearts will there be?

　Dak stretched his arms straight out of the water, revealing half of his face as he looked at the "flower cards".

　As magic was poured in, Pandora's image gradually appeared on the "Hanafuda".

　The sound of a heartbeat was slightly noticeable in the quiet night.

　He found himself getting a little nervous.

　For a conservative person, facing emotions directly is not a simple matter.

　Don't be fooled by his seemingly effortless charm, as if he's a womanizer who can get away with anything. In reality, it's mostly acting.

　What he admired was a view of love that remained constant throughout his life.

　Therefore, they cannot withstand changes along the way.

　Once he realizes he's truly in love, he'll start thinking about marriage, children, and growing old together from that moment on, rather than just a fleeting infatuation.

　Moreover, his current situation makes it impossible for him to bear the burden.

　Behind the frenzy of "Crazy Juju" lies an unpredictable future.
