Scum Coercion

"Fortunately, I was taken advantage of by that vampire. I didn't expect that I still lost!!!"

"It's okay, it's okay, you will always be number one in my heart."

Facing my childhood sweetheart who was on the verge of emotional collapse, I comforted her with a father-like gentle tone like comforting the daughter of a primary school student who did not pass the exam, and I also stroked her head with my hand.

Because this is my usual way of comforting her, Ziyuan quickly recovered this time, she puffed up her cheeks pitifully, as if trying to hold back tears, and looked at me uneasily.

"I, I lost, but you will still allow me to be by your side."

"Hahaha, of course."

"Ah That's good."

Like tender flowers, asters need plenty of water from me to bloom.

But now I once again resorted to the rhetoric that I am good at, and immediately made her happy when she was depressed, and I felt a little complacent for a while.

Although Ziyuan occasionally has inexplicable desire to control, she is also a simple and easy-to-care child.

After that, my face became serious again.

"Zion, although I still want to spend more time with you, but there is a more serious situation now..."

"Is it Jasmine?"

She pursed her lips and her tone became sour.

I could only helplessly show a wry smile.

"That's it. If I don't go, Jasmine will give someone a kiss."

"..."

After hearing my words, Ziyuan's expression became very complicated, as if being a bit cold by the night wind by the sea, her arms wrapped around her body.

I didn't know what to say for a while, so I could only take off the sun protection jacket on my body and put it on Ziyuan's shoulders.

"That...it's a bit cold at night, you should go back wearing this first, after all I might have to exercise later..."

"Wait a moment!"

At the place where I was about to follow the crowd to sign up, Shion grabbed my wrist.

I thought she would lose her temper, but what she proposed to me was——

"I see, I will help you too."

"Hey? What? You help me?"

Under my dumbfounded gaze, Shion nodded stubbornly.

"Hmph, without me anyway, Ayu, an ordinary person, wouldn't be able to stand out from so many people who are staring at him like a tiger, right?"

"Uh……"

"So, having me lead you to live to the end, can not only reflect the generosity of my childhood sweetheart, but also highlight the strength of Zhenggong!"

"I'm not the king of the harem."

Although I chatted with her easily, a warm current surged in my heart.

Ziyuan, even though she knows that this is a war against Jasmine, is she still willing to help me?

After that, we arrived at the scene of the battle royale.

As we expected, from the beach to the nearby groves, the staff used the isolation zone to divide a "duel area", and the isolation zone will shrink over time, and there are drones in the sky for aerial photography. Part of the battle situation can be broadcast through the big screen on the stage.

There are several entrances, and everyone is given a weapon before entering—

"So, this gun won't hurt anyone, right?"

Holding the assigned pistol in my hand, I asked the staff suspiciously.

The staff in front of him nodded politely with a confident look.

"No problem at all because it's a water bomb."

"Then... how can we get people to leave the stage? Doesn't it hurt if you hit the water bomb?"

"Oh, there are anesthetics mixed in the water, basically just a few shots will make people lose their mobility."

"Is that so..."

"Of course, guest, your pistol is the basic style. If you want to increase your chances of winning, you can buy other weapons."

"What are the other weapons?"

"Look, this [Water Kylin] is a rifle that can be rented for only 100 yuan. Although it is a little heavier, its accuracy and rate of fire are much stronger."

"It costs 100 just to rent a gun?!"

"Hehe, if you think this is not worthwhile, you can buy disposable grenades, 10 yuan each, which can create a large-scale explosion, and people who are splashed by the water blasted out of it will leave the stage."

"Uh... I also want the pistol, and the water unicorn. Give me 5 grenades."

After thinking about it carefully, in order to increase the chances of catching Jasmine, I made up my mind to sacrifice my purse.

As for Ziyuan, it seems that these things are too heavy, so she just holds a pistol and wears a belt issued by the staff around her waist to store sundries and ammunition.
