Luck is a Charm

Without hesitation any longer, Zen fired all the arrows at the same time, with all spectators watching each and every one of them piercing the corpses.

Shock and disbelief filled their eyes as Zen's arrow did not cause the corpse to be pushed back into the wall as it stayed in its original position.

However, it was clear and obvious as days that it proves Zen managed to control the mana concentration in his arrow to cause the impact to be light and not hard-headed as it launched toward the corpse.

Even Krista Dragoon needed to rub her eyes to make sure her eyes were fine and not playing jokes on her.

"I-Impossible, such control, and distribution of mana cannot be done by fluke. You must practice hard and learn the mechanism behind such skills." Krista Dragoon mumbled softly in disbelief as she glanced at Zen who held a calm expression.

Zen shrugged his shoulders as it was indeed a fluke that he managed to do that. He also has no clue what kind of amazing control he displayed as he only cared about the results.

The worker slimes didn't dare to delay when Zen was glaring at them to work faster as they quickly searched every corpse to check if the arrow was correctly landed in the circle.

It was like time had slowed down completely when they continued to inspect as Krista Dragoon prayed that she didn't lose to him.

'He's clearly an amateur in this type of mini-game and if I lose then I really need to find a hole to dive into.' 

Krista Dragoon was unwilling to lose to Zen over her expertise and it was at this moment, the worker slimes finished their inspection.

There were multiple worker slimes working together so it was quicker than usual and they held a frightful expression.

Krista Dragoon became delighted when she saw them being afraid because it only meant one thing. Their master, aka Zen, has lost this challenge against her otherwise, they wouldn't be afraid to call the result.

Zen also knew what their expression meant as he said, "It's fine, just tell me the truth and be honest with me. I don't want you guys to say I win just because I'm your master."

Romu, who heard Zen's word, gladly bounced forward with his slime body and said, "Reporting to our result, master has only landed about 39 targets despite the amazing control master has in the fire arrow. However, the rules of this game are who lands their spell at the target the most and not their control."

Pausing for a few moments, Romu made sure to glance at Zen expressions to see if he's angry at them but heaved a sigh of relief when Zen remained calm.

"Go on and continue your words. I'm not some sissy who can't afford a defeat." Zen said to Romu who gladly continued his word.

"Thus, the winner of this mini-game belongs to Lady Krista Dragoon who managed to land 49 targets while the master only landed 39 targets," Romu said softly before glancing at Krista Dragoon.

"Congratulations to Lady Krista Dragoon," Romu said cheerfully as he bounced up and down.

The rest of the worker's slimes also cheered for their lady as they fired their acid shot somewhere far away from their current position in case they accidentally hit Zen or his allies.

Meanwhile, Krista Dragoon was clapping her hand in a brightful mood as she walked forward to Zen.

"You have lost the gamble."

"Indeed I have lost."

"Then aren't you going to crawl under me and apologize to me for your action," Krista Dragoon pressured as she smiled mischievously.

'Sigh, women are always this vengeful and never forget the action that men did to them.' Zen sighed inwardly as he wondered how he was going to avoid crawling under her.

Although he admitted defeat, fulfilling the gambling debt was a different story and Zen decided to accomplish her wish of crawling under her.

Showing a menacing smile, Zen's expression shocked Krista Dragoon as she knew he was up to no good again. Trying to escape from his range of grasp, it was too late as Zen pounced onto her, causing the both of them to drop to the ground.

Zen made sure the impact of Krista Dragoon was nonexistent as he started crawling forward to meet her directly in the eye.

"Scoundrel, what are you doing?" Krista Dragoon shouted in anger and tried to get up but Zen continued to pin her down.

"What am I doing?" Zen chuckled softly before continuing.

"I'm fulfilling the gambling debt by crawling under you. Can't you see my knee is on the ground with my hand crawling onto you?"

Zen's word ticked Krista Dragoon off as she knew men could not be trusted at all. They were always wicked and shameless scoundrels who reneged their promise without a care in the world.

"Hmph, men are truly worse than women in terms of shamelessness. Not only did you lose against me, you even went against the bet and pin me down." Krista Dragoon scoffed as she closed her eyes to stop seeing Zen's face.

Zen smiled bitterly at her reaction and tried to look at Leila Dragoon for help in this situation.

However, Leila Dragoon simply shrugged her shoulders and walked up to a worker slime before holding it up. Afterward, she continued to walk away from them as she started playing with the worker slimes.

Zen became speechless by the heartless attitude of Leila Dragoon. 

'Weren't you all clingy and chummy with me previously? Now you rather play with the worker slimes than helping this brother out in this predicament.' Zen sighed inwardly as he was left alone with Krista Dragoon since the rest of the worker slimes followed behind Leila Dragoon.

They weren't idiots as well since staying here could cause them more troubles later on. Following Leila Dragoon to play and avoid them was the ideal option as of this moment.

"Sigh, are you going to keep closing your eyes and not look at me," Zen said depressingly as he returned his focus on Krista Dragoon.

Currently, Krista Dragoon was laying down on the ground with her back touching it and Zen was on top of her with his hand next to her head.

Krista Dragoon didn't reply to Zen as she twisted her head to the left with her eyes still staying shut.

"What do I need to do for you to forgive my shameless moves?" Zen asked desperately since dealing with a woman in this kind of scenario was the worst.

He has experienced this kind of situation multiple times with his maid back on Earth which he always ends up giving in to her request and conditions.

'Please talk to me already.' Zen begged inwardly as he continued to talk alone while being on top of Krista Dragoon since he knew getting up would only give her more chance to hate and ignore him further.

"If you still refuse to talk to me then I gladly pry your mouth open with mine." Zen threatened slightly to try and scare Krista Dragoon.

The result was still the same though. An ice-cold rejection as Krista Dragoon started using her hands to cover her mouth to prevent him from trying.

"Fine, cover your mouth but can you cover your maidenhood as well?" Zen sneered as he moved his leg slightly upward in between her legs.

Feeling the touch of his leg, Krista Dragoon became pale as she struggled to close her leg to prevent his action.

However, such action only backfired more as Zen continued to be a bit forceful and made his advancement further onto her maidenhood.

"Stop it," Krista Dragoon shouted as she could no longer bear his action and she could feel his leg almost touching her panties.

Zen sighed inwardly when he finally got her to talk again as he wasn't willing to go any further than his current position. He wanted to obtain her but not through this kind of means.

Staring deeply at Krista Dragoon, Zen leaned forward and said, "I know your condition was not the thing you truly wanted from me. You can tell me what you really want since you instigated this challenge on me."

"I-I want you to bring Leila Dragoon away from the Jade Kingdom to somewhere safe. Although it has not happened yet, I'm pretty sure the empress is already in contact with some other powerful organization who specialize in kidnapping people with special abilities." Krista Dragoon said with hatred and continued.

"Leila's ability in her mystic eye is extremely precious as it could see everything. There are tons of greedy and disgusting people who would do anything to obtain this kind of ability for themselves. I can't risk losing Leila to these people and I, as her big sister, should shelter her from this kind of conflict."

Zen turned silent from the resolute decision from Krista Dragoon. 'No wonder why she wanted me to play with her in this mini-game. Everything was for her little sister and not for herself.'
