Survival: King Picking Game

Li Pingan leaned forward slightly, getting closer to Tugong Kagura.

His eyes were clear and serious, closely following the girl's slightly flinching gaze.

——"Miss Tugong, do you want to break off the engagement with me?"

"Yes... yes, I know... eh?"

Tsunomiya Kagura was nodding his head in a hurry, and it took a few seconds before he realized what happened just now.

... The man in front of her seemed to have said something that surprised her just now.

"I said... ah, Miss Tumiya."

Li Pingan got a little closer, and the noses of the two were almost touching.

The man's breath sprayed on the girl's immature and pretty face, making her cheeks blush slightly.

Sunlight pours in from the transparent window next to the coffee house, and everything is presented in bright light without reservation.

—— "Do you want to break off the engagement with me?"

……

Tsuchimiya Kagura's eyes widened incredulously, as if a hold spell had been performed.

After a long time, she said softly.

"...just...just now that was...?"

"It's true, I'm not kidding you."

Li Pingan smiled and stretched out a finger—"It's just that if you want me to cooperate and complete this matter, I need you, Miss Kagura, to do me a little favor."

Tsunomiya Kagura's breathing suddenly became rapid.

——At that moment, it seemed that something jumped up in her heart.

It seemed that a weighty burden on his body disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it was about to float.

...However, after all, she was educated by the heirs of the family since she was a child, so she didn't panic at the first time, but took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"...what's the matter?"

The girl suppressed her trembling voice and asked softly.

"It's very simple. Did I say that just now? I have always liked Ms. Isayama Koizumi."

Li Pingan said seriously.

—— "So, I want to pursue her."

……

Hearing such a condition, Tsuchimiya Kagura frowned slenderly.

"...But, sister Huang Quan already has a marriage contract...!"

"That's not voluntary." Li Pingan interrupted her calmly.

"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Huang Quan should be restricted by the family just like you... So, when faced with a marriage contract with a man who obviously doesn't like it, she still keeps silent and accepts it... What I said Right?"

Tsujimiya Kagura's breathing stopped for a moment.

To say "no" would be a lie.

It is precisely because she and Huang Quan have the same experience that she can empathize with her more.

...Besides, that is the elder sister that I like more than my relatives...

- "Do you understand?"

The man opposite showed an expression that seemed to see through everything.

"This is actually a matter of getting the best of both worlds. If you can break the two marriage contracts together, not only you, but even your dear sister Huang Quan will be rescued and freed at the same time, okay?"

Pursuit of victory...

Here, Li Pingan deliberately ignored the point that "he himself may not be the person Isayama Huangquan really likes".

Now, the only thought that fills Kagura's heart is probably her sister Huang Quan.

……

Yes, even if it doesn't concern me... If she can help Sister Huang Quan and make her happy, she will definitely work hard with her life.

Before, I was too cowardly to stand by and watch.

...But now, there is an opportunity in front of her.

Even if it is a very slim... opportunity to cooperate with this obviously unreliable person in front of him...

Finally, Tsuchimiya Kagura took a deep breath.

--"……I understand."

The girl said softly.
