Chapter 97: Because, you never come to me
"Wait a moment, contestant Eikou suddenly grabbed the guest's hand, where are they planning to go…?"
Eikou paid no mind as he held Morgan's hand,
This time, it was Morgan herself who grew a little flustered, being pulled along step by step by him.
Perhaps suddenly recalling her own stance and dignity, Morgan's face turned slightly red as she reminded:
"Wait, Eikou, I already said that physical contact with the guest is against the rules, didn't I? Moreover, your action is practically an affront to the Queen of the Fairy Kingdom."
"Indeed it is,"
Eikou only tilted his head slightly, turning to say,
"Then if you hate it, just directly shake off my hand."
"You…"
Morgan of course had no intention of shaking his hand off, only that the blush upon her fair face became even more obvious.
After that, she discreetly took a breath, barely managing to maintain the composure of a queen.
"I understand, then where do you intend to take me?"
"To a place where the livestream can neither record nor hear us, that way we can also be a little more at ease, right?"
Eikou said with a smile.
The redness on her face deepened even more.
Saying that, he immediately took hold of Morgan's soft, cold hand, pulling her—her face completely flushed—into the dressing room, and even locked the door behind them.
...
With no Projection Magecraft from Finn and no audience, there was no one left to disturb them anymore.
As for what Finn might see and comment on after this, that no longer had anything to do with them.
The two of them immediately began kissing passionately in the dressing room.
Eikou could clearly feel her lips, soft like cherry petals, and her hot, hurried breath.
The fragrance of high-class essential oils from her body, along with those slender hands wrapped tightly around his neck. As Queen, she put up no resistance to him at all, instead holding him tight with overflowing affection.
And so they clung to each other for a long while,
And so they kissed for a long while, fleeting yet stretched on,
Just so she would not feel lonely, Eikou gave his utmost effort to touch her intimately,
As though they were exchanging body heat with one another.
The dressing room, already not spacious, now seemed completely filled with this dense, hazy atmosphere, and a glistening thread still lingered at the corners of their lips.
"Are you satisfied now?" he said with a smile.
"U-umu, not bad… since it's the second time, it feels more practiced." Morgan blushed as she turned away.
Eikou thought to himself: is it really necessary to show such a shy expression at a time like this, I had wanted to conquer you, yet I'm about to be defeated by this look of yours instead.
Clearly, before others, she was a frighteningly powerful Queen, even when expressing goodwill it still felt like she was interrogating or commanding him.
But in private, she was like a pure, innocent young maiden.
"Just to meet me, you went to such great lengths?" Eikou said.
"Who told you to always deliberately or unintentionally avoid me,"
Morgan glanced at him with her blue eyes full of reproach, her hands instinctively clutching his clothes,
Like a greedy Queen who, having found a treasure, wanted to keep it, and at the same time like a girlfriend a little afraid of loneliness.
"When I received the notice from my former school, I hadn't originally planned to come tease you, but the moment I thought about how it was always me messaging you first… I just couldn't hold back and wanted to know what it would feel like to be pursued by you actively, passionately."
In her strong subjective perception, Eikou could already be considered her husband, and a formal proposal ceremony was something that for her was never really necessary.
What she truly wanted was the care and affection from the one she loved.
Saying that, she leaned in slightly and gently kissed his neck.
"But just now you did very well, I really liked it. The only regrettable point is that you didn't spare a little thought for my dignity in the role of Queen… but since you're my husband, I will tolerate this flaw!"
Morgan's blue eyes curved into the shape of a lovely crescent moon, and a radiant smile blossomed from the depths of her heart.
Seeing that smile, Eikou's heart couldn't help but pound rapidly.
"I see… then that's good."
But Morgan quickly drew back her smile, the rosy flush on her cheeks gradually fading.
She restored her calm, indifferent expression as a Queen.
"All right, enough fooling around with you. You still have a race to finish, so go win first place for me, you can definitely do that, can't you?"
"Umu, umu, umu, I'll do my best."
Eikou, after finishing his words, immediately turned around and unlocked the dressing room door.
Suddenly, he felt Morgan's small head intimately leaning against his back.
"But if you treat me coldly again in the future, I'll continue to punish you like this. I am the Queen of the Fairy Kingdom, the kind of woman who always collects her debts…"
Such words were heavy with weight.
Yet, Eikou only smiled gently.
At this point, he had already grown used to interacting with Morgan this way.
"Mn, sorry, from now on I'll pay more attention to your feelings."
Saying that, he opened the door of the dressing room and stepped out together with Morgan.
...
From the checkpoint, Homeroom teacher Finn's commentary still rang out, apparently discussing some other team, but the moment he saw Eikou and Morgan come out, he immediately switched the topic.
"Dear viewers, contestant Eikou and guest judge Morgan have finally stepped out of the dressing room. Just what happened inside, no one knows, and judging from their expressions, nothing can be guessed either!"
"But the atmosphere seems rather good, so in the end did contestant Eikou succeed or fail?"
Eikou tilted his head to glance, only to see Morgan had completely restored her calm, cold Queenly demeanor, her cherry lips slightly curved, and her face betraying no expression whatsoever.
He thought to himself, before the public, perhaps she felt more comfortable keeping such an appearance.
"Now then, let's invite Lostbelt King — Judge Morgan to grade Eikou-kun!"
Homeroom teacher Finn said curiously.
Morgan said nothing. She sat on her throne, her slender white hand picking up the score board placed on the table.
That was… a board with a huge "0" written on it.
Eikou: "???"
"Oh, though the atmosphere looked pretty good, Queen Morgan actually gave Eikou-kun a zero? What a pity!" Homeroom teacher Finn said regretfully.
"Looks like Eikou has to drink the penalty wine." Napoleon said.
But in the very next second, Morgan picked up another score board with her right hand, on which a huge "10" was written.
She smiled faintly, stacking the two boards together.
"Mochizuki Eikou, worthy of praise."
100 points!
"Ooooh, unbelievable, she gave 100 points! The maximum score is ten, yet our guest directly gave ten times that! She's extremely satisfied with contestant Eikou's performance!
"Come to think of it, our ice-cold Queen actually smiled before the camera, how detestable… this woman, both beautiful and adorable, her bashful look is truly irresistible!"
Seeing that beautiful number one hundred,
Eikou finally let out a sigh of relief, revealing a somewhat helpless smile.
Morgan turned her head toward him, saying:
"Since you are the victor of this round, I shall fulfill my promise and bestow upon you the mysterious reward."
Eikou waved his hand: "No need, no need, I already have a bottle of 'Water.'"
"? Why would I give you that strange thing,"
She said calmly,
"What I intend to reward you with is this."
Morgan raised both hands, and in them was a radiant golden apple.
Eikou's eyes widened in shock.
That was… a Golden Apple, capable of swiftly restoring stamina, instantly returning the body to peak condition!
"This is the gift I prepared for you from the very beginning. Mochizuki Eikou, go forth and claim victory."
