Lith looked at the slip and knitted his brows. He couldn’t understand what the slip ant since it was incomplete. He looked at Emilia and grazed his thumb on her shoulder blade, telling her that he didn’t understand sothing.
“What is it that you don’t understand?” Emilia asked in her gentle tone.
Lith wrote on her hand:
‘The hint I got.’
Emilia nodded and then asked, “what does the hint say? And what did the previous one say?”
Lith wrote on her hand what the two slips had on them and Emilia thought about things a bit and said, “try breaking the mop.”
Lith nodded and did as he was told and found another slip in the mop. That slip read:
‘Where the entertainer makes an appearance.’
Lith wrote that on Emilia’s forearm and told her about what’s in the slip.
Emilia thought again about it and sighed in annoyance. But she still said in the sa gentle tone to Lith,
“If we follow the slips, we’ll get to more slips and it’ll consu a lot of ti. Co, let’s just go and get the treasures instead of wasting our ti so much.”
Lith nodded. He was getting annoyed by roaming as well.
Emilia locked her fingers with Lith’s again and the two walked in a certain direction.
They soon found their first treasure and it was simply a box of exotic mushrooms. They then found two gold rings and finally, they got the main treasure that was an expensive pair of earrings.
Just as they found it, the stage ca back and so did the host. They congratulated Lith and Emilia and played loud party music for the couples to dance along.
Lith and Emilia didn’t participate in it and with the help of the maid, they got back to their seats and relaxed.
Lith removed the strip from his neck and looked at Emilia and saw her removing her blindfold and revealing her beautiful blue eyes to him. She then untied her ponytail and waved her silky blonde hair around, making Lith feel amazed.
Emilia felt Lith’s stare and looked at him. She saw him look at her with an amused expression and wanting to know why he had such a face, she asked, “is sothing the matter?”
Lith smiled and said to her, “nope. I am just a bit amused looking at how beautiful and pretty you look.”
If it were before, the ti when Lith and Emilia hadn’t begun their cooking phase, Emilia would’ve simply ignored Lith’s complint. But now, she was close to him and was well aware that he didn’t give out complints if he didn’t an them.
While they were cooking, Emilia had ssed up a lot many tis and Lith had called her cooking as crap and pathetic all those while. He always gave her his honest opinion and didn’t sugarcoat things. He knew she was a grown up and she could handle the truth well. He wasn’t disrespectful to her while giving out his opinions, just honest and straight to the point.
Emilia gradually ca to understand that Lith, unlike a few n she had t before, wasn’t like them at all. Those n had complinted Emilia as well but it seed very superficial and appeared as if they had ulterior motives behind it.
Whereas Lith’s complint really felt genuine to her.
She beca slightly happy knowing it but as usual, didn’t show it on her face and with a neutral look, she nodded and said, “thank you.”
Lith smiled in response to this. He wondered what type of person Emilia was. Was she a tsundere, a kuudere, a cold lady, a shy lady, or perhaps a reserved lady? What was she? She never responded to his complints and would always just give dry responses to it.
Only when they were cooking and she was too absorbed into the food, she would slightly break character and let out a slight blush on her face. That, and also her beautiful smile. Lith had not missed watching them and knew that she did liked to be complinted just like everyone else, but she always had a neutral look whenever she were to reply to them.
‘Well, only ti will tell. No point mulling over it and wasting my ti.’ Lith thought.
A few seconds later, Lith asked Emilia, “it’s getting boring. We got the secret nu already, do you want to go do sothing else?”
Emilia thought about it and nodded her head. It had indeed gotten boring.
Lith looked at the maid sitting a few ters away and called her. She arrived in front of him and asked what he needed.
Lith replied, “you ntioned there being solo activities just for duos right? Let’s go do that. We’d like to skip the next competition.”
The maid nodded and she took them back to their private room. After they reached there, she gave them a few things and left.
There was an instruction manual present in those things and it was about what fun things they could do by themselves. The list included many things like playing truth or dare, touch and guess, etc.
Lith decided to simply play a ga of truth and dare with Emilia as the other things weren’t really suitable for them as they weren’t a couple. Touch and guess ga could be played, but in his previous life, when Lith had watched videos of it, their ending was always… Well, nsfw.
In this ga, a person would touch the things that the other person wants the person to touch and guess what it was. This also had no restrictions on whatever they could touch and this made things a bit heated. Lith thus avoided it.
Once they decided to play try truth and dare, they put a transparent bowl in front of them. It was a big bowl containing many chits. These chits had questions and dares written on them and the instruction manual said that it was definitely sfw.
Lith looked at Emilia and said with a smile, “we’ll do rock, papers, scissors, and the one who wins asks the other a question or gives a dare by withdrawing the chit in the bowl.”
“Sounds good to .” Emilia nodded and agreed.
“Alright then, please rember that I’ll go with papers.” Lith said with a smile to Emilia.
Emilia nodded and replied, “such things won’t confuse . Let’s play. Rock, papers, scissors.”
The round began and both of them chose papers.
Lith looked at Emilia and said, “Miss Emilia, didn’t I say that I’ll use papers.”
Emilia nodded and said, “yes, you did. But did I say that I won’t use it either?”
Lith fell silent hearing it. His own words were fired back at him. He cleared his throat and said,
“Anywho, we don’t have a winner yet. We’ll do best of five, okay?”
Emilia nodded and Litn said imdiately, “okay then. I’ll choose papers again.”
The two said rock, papers, scissors, and once again let out their responses.
Lith this ti, instead of doing papers, did scissors instead whereas Emilia had rock in her response, beating Lith in the ga.
Lith was surprised with Emilia’s response and before he could say anything, she said, “I knew you wouldn’t choose papers again. So as a safe bet, I went with rocks. You need tostudy more inthis aspect of playing mind gas. The proficiency isn’t enough.”
She gave her honest advice and her guidance to him. Lith nodded and said, “I’ll look into that. Anywho, please take your chit from it and give a truth or dare.”
