Eventually, the semi-finals arrived, with Hao squaring off against Mo Xixi. Hao gave it a decent fight, even pulling off a ridiculous triple bank shot.
But Mo Xixi just stared him down, and sank three balls in a single turn.
In the finals, she went against Tian Lu, who had gotten unnaturally good after his intense match with Kurome. He played fast and wild.
Still wasn't enough.
Mo Xixi reigned victorious.
Champion of the Dimensional Convenience Store's First Unofficial Billiards Mini Tournament.
Hao walked over, grinning as he reached out and gave Mo Xixi a ruffle on the head.
"Well done, champion."
Mo Xixi stiffened. Her eyes narrowed into an annoyed glare as she turned her face slightly away.
"Stop that, boss. I'm not a kid."
But she didn't move away.
In fact, her cheeks were pink, and there was a softness to her stance.
Tian Lu blinked. "…"
Then blinked again. 'Ain't no way this is the heir of the Ashen Curse Cult.'
