I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

As the fifth round began and the die with a score of twenty-one fell, Alice looked at the score in front of her, which should have been unlucky, but instead smiled.

At first, Shinji Kitahara didn't take Alice's low score seriously.

With so many people present, not only is the probability of him being chosen extremely low, but even if he were, based on his observation, there weren't many outrageous punishments in that punishment card pile. The incident at the small bay was just an accident, and he refused to believe that such an accident could happen twice in one night, and both times it would be him...

[Punishment Thirty-Six: Choose a number and wear the same clothes as the number's owner for one round.]

"I choose number eleven."

The moment the punishment card was flipped over, Alice immediately made her choice.

This time, even if Shinji Kitahara turned the number plate in his hand upside down again, the serial number in his hand would still be the same.

"and many more."

After realizing that there was no way to avoid this, Shinji Kitahara looked at his naked upper body and at Alice, who was walking towards him with a smile, wearing only a thin nightgown. He couldn't help but call out to stop her.

"what happened?"

"No, look, I'm completely naked right now, and Suzi only has this one piece of clothing on. I can't exactly crawl inside her clothes, can I...?"

Logically speaking, Shinji Kitahara's suggestion is quite reasonable. Normally, other horse girls would also try to stop and obstruct such a blatant overstepping of boundaries.

But now, very strangely, after Kitahara Shinji spoke, not only those who usually don't speak much, like Oguri Hattori, but even Surugawa Tesuna and Rudolf tacitly averted their gazes, pretending not to hear anything. They even folded their ears up as if they were covering their ears, which made Kitahara Shinji's eyes twitch.

I know you older single women are in a bad mood today and want to see some fun, but please, look at the situation! This is really going too far...

But just as the other horse girls remained silent, preparing to see how he would handle the situation, Alice, who had walked up to him, suddenly spoke up.

"Okay, Guinea Pig, what you said makes sense. I'll make an exception and go get a jacket... That shouldn't break the rules, right?"

As she spoke, Alice looked at Hikari Satomi, who nodded slightly.

As for the others, although they were also curious to see how Kitahara Shinji would handle the matter if Alice didn't speak up, they didn't want to push Kitahara Shinji too hard, so when Alice took the initiative to speak up, they all went along with it and acquiesced to the matter.

Then, Alice went into Shinji Kitahara's bedroom, picked out a large trench coat that Shinji Kitahara rarely wore, sat in Shinji Kitahara's lap, and wrapped the trench coat around both of them.

Only now, looking at the well-behaved Alice in his arms, did Shinji Kitahara slowly come back to his senses, and his gaze towards her gradually became subtle.

He thought she definitely wouldn't let this opportunity to tease him pass, but now she seems quite sensible... or maybe she's just shy?

Shinji Kitahara didn't know what she was thinking, but since it was a good thing, he didn't dwell on it too much and continued playing the game.

rustle.

Just as Kitahara Shinji was marveling at how unusually well-behaved Alice was and preparing to continue the game, accompanied by a slight rubbing sound, he felt Alice's little bottom move closer to him, and her legs tucked into her trench coat, stepping on his waist.

Can't this child just stay still...?

Although he thought so, considering that she was unusually well-behaved, Kitahara Shinji didn't intend to dwell on the matter. He sighed slightly and focused his attention back on the table.

After that, thanks to the cover of the trench coat, no one could see what was happening inside. The two remained in this position until Shinji Kitahara's turn.

But just when Shinji Kitahara thought he could keep this up until the end, he reached for the dice.

As he extended his hand, a familiar rustling sound rang out again from beneath his trench coat, in a place unseen by others.

But unlike before, this time, the friction didn't continue upwards, but slowly downwards. Tiny toes gently pried open the gap between the clothes and skin, and then slowly slid in.

Shinji Kitahara's eyes flickered slightly, but he maintained his composure. He picked up the dice from the table and calmly threw them while leaning down to Alice's ear and speaking in a very low voice.

"Alice, what do you want to do?"

"I didn't do anything."

Alice didn't turn around, her tone playful.

"But someone else, despite saying they don't like anyone, seems to be saying a lot more than they mean..."

As she spoke, a soft rustling sound arose, accompanied by the spinning of the dice. The smooth stockings gently brushed against her skin, creating a slightly alluring tactile sensation.

"Sixty-six points... I passed."

While continuing to hand the dice to the next person as usual, Shinji Kitahara lowered his voice again, his tone now carrying a hint of anger.

"Suko, if this is a joke, it's already gone too far. If you really want to play tricks on me, find another time and place, and I'll let you play tricks on me to your heart's content, but now..."

"Do you still think I've been playing a trick on you all along?"

Alice had her head down, so her expression was not visible.

"Is not it?"

Faced with Shinji Kitahara's question, Alice was silent for a moment, then raised her head, leaned close to Shinji Kitahara's ear, and spoke in an unprecedentedly serious tone.

"I know, because of what happened before, you always thought I was joking."

"But as you just saw, I drank that potion and am now unable to lie."

"So now, I can tell you with absolute certainty that I am not playing a trick on you."

"I like you, Guinea Pig."

"A genuine, heartfelt liking."

Shinji Kitahara stiffened slightly.

The game next to them continued, and it seemed that no one noticed what was happening here, or perhaps they did notice but pretended not to.

After a moment of silence, seeing that Kitahara Shinji still hadn't answered, Alice spoke again.

"If you suspect that I took the antidote beforehand to trick you in this way, I can prove it in other ways."

"I'm willing to do anything to make you believe that I like you..."

"Could you pull your foot back first?" Shinji Kitahara suddenly asked.

"This is the only one that won't work."

Alice answered decisively.

"Otherwise, you definitely wouldn't believe me..."

"I believe you."

Shinji Kitahara sighed and said in a low voice.

"I know you're not the kind of person who lacks tact, so I believe you like me. So... could you please pull your foot back? We can talk about this later..."

When Alice heard that Shinji Kitahara believed her, she was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, she refused again.

"No, even if you believe me, you've bullied me so many times these days, it's time for me to fight back... Or you can beg me, if you beg me I'll back down."

Beg her...

Upon hearing this, Shinji Kitahara's expression changed slightly.

Logically speaking, in this situation, it would be the best option to back down slightly and let Alice pull her foot back first.

But the problem is, it seems that Alice has forgotten that from the very beginning, someone has always been someone who responds better to gentleness than force.

This time, faced with Alice's threat, Shinji Kitahara remained silent for a few seconds before speaking.

"I'll give you five seconds. If you don't back down, don't blame me for not warning you."

Alice did not respond; only the rustling sound resumed.

She refused to believe that Shinji Kitahara could turn the tide under these circumstances.

"Five, four, three, two... one."

Just as Alice was thinking this, Shinji Kitahara finished the countdown.

Then, just as the countdown ended, Alice noticed that Shinji Kitahara had tucked one of his hands into his sleeve. A bad feeling welled up in her heart, and then she felt a familiar touch on her waist, and then—a hard press.

woo-

An electric shock-like sensation swept through her body, almost instantly rendering her incapable of resisting.

Just as she was about to cry out uncontrollably, Shinji Kitahara covered her mouth with his other hand, and then removed it after blocking the sound for a moment, seemingly without any abnormality.

"I warned you."

As he spoke, Shinji Kitahara, under the resentful gaze of Alice, straightened her body with his hand, which was tucked into his sleeve, and helped her into a proper sitting position. He did this until the end of the game, and then put Alice, whose body was still a little limp, back into her original position.

Originally, Shinji Kitahara was a little worried that if he just let her go back like this, others would find it strange, and how would he explain it then?

But to his surprise, despite the obvious abnormality of Eliseko, the others seemed to have not noticed at all, and he easily got away with it.

What on earth is going on today...?

Looking at the strange horse girls around him, Kitahara Shinji felt something was off and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

However, before he could ponder this for long, the start of a new round of the game and the emergence of new circumstances interrupted his thoughts.

However, this time, the new situation that arose was somewhat unexpected.

[Punishment Twenty-Four: Choose a number and kiss it]

Looking at the information displayed on the card, and the number plate of Kitahara Shinji that she had just picked, she felt the gazes of the horse girls around her.

Silent Suzuka's face turned deathly pale.

Chapter 264: Subject to Discussion

To be honest, although she participated in the training camp, Silent Suzuka had absolutely no intention of stepping into the middle of the battlefield, or rather, dared not.

While it can't be said that she had no good feelings towards Shinji Kitahara, after all, he had taken good care of her during her previous fracture and other situations, which had earned her some favor.

However, their relationship is currently quite normal. Silent Suzuka only regards Kitahara Shinji as a trustworthy elder and has no ulterior motives.

The reason she attended this training camp was not to cause trouble or anything, but simply because this training camp was a group training camp for the horse girls under Kitahara Shinji's name. Not to mention her, even Kita Genko was brought along by Satomi Hikari.

Moreover, even though we could anticipate some competition tonight before the training camp, we had seen many times in the past when everyone sabotaged each other, turning the competitive activities into purely recreational ones.

So, before arriving, Silent Suzuka hadn't thought much of the situation. She assumed it would be like before: initially fiercely contested, but gradually becoming more entertaining. Besides, Kitahara Shinji had treated her well, and she could lend him a hand if the opportunity arose...

But who knew Shinji Kitahara would be so dramatic! Could any human have come up with that kind of answer?!

Incidentally, while most of the horse girls participating in the training camp were dressed in revealing outfits, a few wore normal pajamas. For example, Silent Suzuka was wearing her usual pajamas from her dorm, and the same was true for Northern Genko, who was invited to join the camp.

As for Tsuna, Mata, and Rudolf, although their pajamas are relatively normal and not as outrageous as those of the My Little Pony girls, they don't wear those clothes not because they don't want to, but because they each have their own reasons for not being able to wear them.

For example, Rudolf hasn't figured out how to tell the Emperor of the East Sea about her relationship with Shinji Kitahara, or how to handle it. So she's currently hiding the truth about her relationship with Shinji Kitahara from the Emperor of the East Sea. She doesn't want to, and doesn't dare to, expose it.

Getting back to the main point, after drawing the 'kiss' punishment card and having Kitahara Shinji's number, not only was Kitahara Shinji looking helpless, but even Silent Suzuka's face instantly turned deathly pale.

While normally these people wouldn't approve of her getting close to Shinji Kitahara, tonight is clearly an exception.

Even if they are unwilling to see this happening, they would not take the initiative to stop it in order to maintain the order of the game and allow this situation to continue.

Moreover, the most critical point is that perhaps these horse girls aren't too concerned about this matter right now because they're focused on attacking Kitahara Shinji, but once they come to their senses tomorrow and remember this incident, they probably won't have any other thoughts, and she'll likely be dragged into the battlefield too...

Silent Suzuka, think of something quickly, or something really bad will happen...

Looking at the card in her hand and feeling the increasingly intense gazes around her, Silent Suzuka's ears began to tremble... Wait, a card?

Looking at the card in her hand, Silent Suzuka suddenly remembered something. She then reached out and picked up the reward card she had received in the first round. After reading the words on it, a look of surprise, like a drowning person grasping at a straw, appeared in her eyes.

"Wait, I want to use this reward card!"

As she spoke, she turned the reward card over and displayed it to everyone.

[Reward 1: When you draw a punishment card, you can designate another number as your substitute to carry out the punishment for you.]

After flipping over the card, Silent Suzuka immediately felt the gaze fixed on her lighten for a moment.

But immediately afterward, before she could even catch her breath, those gazes softened for a second before being replaced by a torrent of oppressive stares.

Only at this moment did Silent Suzuka realize something.

That is, while this card can indeed relieve her burden, choosing someone to bear the punishment seems like it would offend quite a few people...

However, even though she was aware of this request for payment, since she had already said she would use the reward card, and the situation seemed even more serious if she didn't, Silent Suzuka had no way out and could only bite the bullet and start thinking about who to transfer this 'punishment' to.

While she was struggling with her decision, across from her, taking advantage of Kitahara Shinji's inattention, Special Zhou subtly tilted the number plate in his hand, revealing a corner to Silent Suzuka, and then gave her a look.

Upon discovering this situation, Silent Suzuka did not hesitate and immediately chose to speak.

"I choose number six!"

silence.

After Suzuka made her decision, the other horse girls all lowered their heads and checked the number plates in their hands.

But just as Silent Suzuka breathed a sigh of relief, she noticed that Special Zhou's complexion didn't seem very good.
