Chapter 116: Cat Paw
"Contestant Baobhan Sith actually chose the simple and straightforward confession strategy!"
"This strategy might be too plain for other contestants, but if Baobhan Sith uses it, it could have unexpected effectiveness!"
"Up until now, in everyone's impression, she's always been the kind of tsundere who won't be honest, a type of character who absolutely wouldn't easily reveal her true feelings. Precisely because of that, this sudden serious confession, the contrast effect is even stronger —— the prouder she was before, the cuter she is now. Triple, even double of triple!"
"Can our judge Eikou withstand this confession? Can he possibly not be moved?"
"What, judge Eikou is actually trying to suppress himself, pretending not to be shaken, but his heartbeat has clearly sped up a lot!"
Calm down, absolutely don't let yourself be fooled by Baobhan Sith!
Up until now, haven't I already lost face enough because of her?
Last time, because of saving Baobhan Sith, I left behind that embarrassing video in the haunted house, and this time there are so many viewers watching the livestream, no matter what I must preserve my dignity!
Thinking this, Eikou immediately made up his mind, stiffening his face without revealing any expression, remaining silent without a word.
Seeing that he had no reaction, Baobhan Sith continued:
"Suddenly saying these things to you, it's normal if you don't believe me. Therefore, although I am a little reluctant, I have still decided to hand this over to you."
Saying that, she took out a small box and held it out before Eikou.
That neat little box, could it be that inside is...
A ring… an engagement ring?!
Heavens, Baobhan Sith, you're going that far?!
"Let me use this to bound you for a lifetime... small fry, hurry and put it on."
Baobhan Sith's face flushed red, speaking in both shyness and embarrassment.
"What?!"
Not only Finn and Napoleon, but even the substitute contestants and the viewers watching the livestream all cried out in shock at the same time.
Could it really be an engagement ring inside?!
This has already gone far beyond the scope of a dating show, it's completely a direct on-livestream proposal confession scene!
For such a high-level stage effect to appear in a speed race, is that even possible!
"Too much courage! Too much courage!" Finn clicked his tongue in admiration. "This so-called race is no longer important, the first place is no longer important! Let those French people fight for first place! Before the splendor of love, their crude victory isn't worth a damn penny! Dear viewers, everyone present here today is a witness, let us together witness this newlywed couple!"
"Be together! Be together! Be together!"
The audience in the waiting area began to chant along.
"You all wait a moment..."
Eikou wiped the sweat off his forehead.
What kind of cursed script is this...
Just think for a second, how could Baobhan Sith suddenly propose marriage out of nowhere.
Even if this was only a performance in a dating show, it would still be over the top. Just considering her own personal dignity, she wouldn't do something like this.
And yet those beautiful gray eyes were looking at him with such sincerity, not at all like she was joking.
Could it be...
Eikou silently opened the box.
"Ah..."
Inside the small exquisite box, there was actually a pet collar?
The whole audience fell silent.
Eikou's body immediately heated up, and in his heart he roared: You really thought up this kind of insane adult game?!
He suddenly shot up, holding the collar in front of Baobhan Sith.
"Baobhan Sith, has your fairy brain finally fermented and exploded? What the fuck do you mean by giving me this thing! Saying 'bound for life,' turns out you actually meant it literally?!"
"I just thought you've been bullied by me for so long and yet never surrendered, maybe your real hobby is on that side, so I wanted to take a risky move, both to match your taste and conveniently help you unlock a little bit."
Baobhan Sith smiled both innocently and wickedly, even deliberately blinking at him.
"'That side' is supposed to be which side, and what the hell are you trying to 'unlock' in me?!"
Eikou felt his blood pressure shooting up.
He glanced at his heartbeat —— it was almost spiking to the alarm threshold.
Not because of being moved, but purely because this little bloodsucking fairy pissed him off.
In a sense, Baobhan Sith really had made an extremely dangerous move, and almost succeeded for real.
"I get it, I really shouldn't have felt any sense of danger from you..."
Eikou let out a long sigh.
"You still have three minutes left in your performance, so how about just stand here being punished, and in three minutes you can get off stage. After that let Gareth come up here to be punished too, and once that's done all of you can be eliminated."
"Eh, wouldn't that be a total failure then?"
"Heaven above, you really can't even recognize it yourself? In every sense you've already lost miserably!" Eikou pointed straight at her as he spoke.
"What the hell are you saying, my goal is first place in the speed race, to present the glory of victory to Mother-sama, how could I lose in some stupid punishment game set by a piece of trash like you."
Eikou thought to himself, when you stepped onto the stage as a contestant, I was the one truly punished.
Suddenly, an idea came to him.
Since there were still three minutes left of performance, why not take this chance as a judge to punish this brat properly?
Originally, he had no intention of doing so, but since Baobhan Sith didn't respect anyone, then he had no reason to respect her either.
"Do you want to win?" he suddenly asked.
"Are you stupid, did your goldfish brain stop working? Of course I'm here for the victory." Baobhan Sith replied with disdain.
Eikou suddenly gave a light smile: "Very well, then act like a cute little cat. If you satisfy me, I'll acknowledge your challenge as successful."
"What?!"
Baobhan Sith froze for a moment, unable to believe what she had just heard, then her beautiful eyes widened fiercely at him.
"Are you tired of living, daring to order me to do such a thing? Do you want to die?!"
"It's fine, I don't intend to force you,"
He shrugged,
"just keep your last shred of dignity, and go back to tell your Mother-sama that you were eliminated in disgrace."
"You..."
"Tick-tock, two and a half minutes left."
Eikou said.
"..."
Baobhan Sith gritted her teeth, glaring at him as if enduring a massive humiliation, wishing she could just turn around and walk away.
But thinking of the crown of the speed race, and the proud smile of Mother-sama, in the end she had no choice but to give in.
Her face flushed bright red, she reluctantly clenched her hands into cat paw shapes.
Baobhan Sith lifted her cat paws up beside her cheeks, trying to blink cutely at him.
"Nyan~"
Baobhan Sith let out a cry like a little kitten.
Eikou's reaction, however, was extremely calm, so calm that Baobhan Sith felt embarrassed at her own act of playing cute.
"Sorry, I suddenly got addicted to cats again..."
Eikou suddenly smiled, slightly raising his hand to beckon her closer,
He smiled and said:
"Come here, let Master properly pet the kitty~."
