Sweet daily life of Little Tanuki and Qin Che in Love and Deep Space

The king slowly began to speak, drawing your attention back to the story of the dragon.

"The 'Undying Golden Crow Feather' has been regarded as the most precious treasure of our country since ancient times. It is hidden in the Terence Swamp on the east side of the forest, guarded by several divine crocodiles, but now..." The king sighed as he spoke, rose from his throne and walked in your direction.

"Now, I bestow upon you two heroes a mission." He raised the scepter in his hand and held it up to you.

"Set off immediately to Sunset City to eliminate the evil dragon Skagg and reclaim the 'Undying Golden Crow Feather'!"

His gaze was so intense that it made you straighten your back and clench your fists.

Just as you were about to step forward and take the map scroll, you heard a soft laugh.

That ambiguous laugh came from Qin Che.

You turn your head to the side, and he still has that nonchalant expression.

You glare at him: "Stop laughing! Be serious! If you ruin the mood again, I'll punch you!"

Qin Che couldn't hide the smile on his lips. He leaned down and whispered his warm breath into your ear, gently exhaling onto your skin.

"Okay, okay, I'll play house with you."

After he finished speaking, he raised his head, his smiling eyes shining even brighter in the warm sunlight.

Your face flushed and your heart burned, so you pushed him away when he leaned in.

Can you please stop going on about me all the time?!

You coughed lightly twice and said righteously, "The king is speaking, so whispering is not allowed."

The king was not disturbed by your little actions. He said solemnly, "Do you two heroes have any further questions?"

You shook your head, and the small animal ears on your head swayed gently as you turned your head.

Qin Che's eyes burned with desire, and he felt an itch in his heart, wanting to reach out and pinch it.

You astutely noticed his intentions and rebuked him with a sharp look.

The king, standing on the high platform, nodded: "Very good. To show his loyalty to the kingdom, the hero must swear an oath before the mural before departing."

At the king's signal, a servant illuminated the mural with a pearl, and several lines of text gradually appeared in the lower right corner of the painting.

"...The Oath of the Hero?"

"That's right. Since you volunteered, then go ahead."

As soon as the king finished speaking, all eyes in the castle were on you, waiting for you to take your oath.

What a huge misunderstanding!

You clearly only muttered four words to yourself; how did that constitute volunteering...?

You're unsure whether these people are NPCs or other players, and you feel a little awkward.

"I……"

You glanced at the vow on the mural again, then quickly looked away.

Um... Is it really necessary to recite such an embarrassing vow in front of so many people?!

Is there a skip option?

Just as you were about to back down, Qin Che suddenly took half a step forward, his posture upright and his gaze sincere.

He slowly opened his mouth and said, "I, Qin Che, swear by blood and sword that I will forever uphold the oath of a hero."

Your eyes lit up with an alarming gleam: "So handsome!"

These embarrassingly childish words, coming from Qin Che's mouth, somehow had a unique kind of cool about them.

No wonder he's called BKing!

"Looking at me like that, what do you want to do to me in front of everyone?" Qin Che's voice was tinged with mockery.

"Stop it!" You punched him.

His interruption completely dispelled the awkwardness I had felt earlier.

He continued, arms crossed, "It's a rare opportunity to play house with you like this. I'm starting to look forward to what will happen next."
