Chapter 137: The Prize of This Round: Rin
That night, a few people gathered around the campfire to eat dinner.
Rin took a big bite of the grilled fish and smugly glanced at Waste Hero who was nibbling on the roasted meat beside him.
Every time he spat out a fishbone, Waste Hero shivered as if she had been shocked, staring fixedly at the campfire, too afraid to look at Rin.
Rin's face suddenly revealed a wicked smile, he shifted closer to Waste Hero, making Emilia quickly move aside.
"Waste Hero, my dear friend, let me feed you some fish."
Saying that, he pushed the stick with the fish towards Emilia's face, making Waste Hero explode with anger. She jumped back instantly, her eyes turning into cat-like pupils, staring at him warily.
Rin laughed happily as he avenged himself. He shook the stick in his hand and, looking down, saw that Suyu had bitten the same spot he had bitten before.
Before he could react, Suyu licked at the spot and looked at him with a mischievous expression.
Rin suddenly jumped up, shaking his hand, and exclaimed, "You disgusting fox! How can I eat with your saliva all over it!"
"Little Rin, eat me! Eat me!"
The silly elk quickly handed the bird he had just roasted to Rin, watching him eat happily and contentedly.
After the little daily farce, the group of people sat around chatting.
"Oh, it's so boring. There are no books to read. What should we do?"
Rin leaned against the ground, gazing up at the night sky with a bored expression.
After some thought, Suyu suggested, "Why don't you tell a story instead, Brother Rin?"
The silly elk quickly agreed, even Waste Hero meowed a few times to show her approval.
Rin's eyes lit up, he sat up straight and energized, "I'm quite good at telling stories, of course... It depends on the audience."
Saying this, he looked at Suyu disdainfully, still upset about what happened last time.
Suyu smiled gently, "Don't worry, junior, I will listen carefully no matter what story you tell this time."
Rin cleared his throat, "In that case, let me tell you a story I've heard since I was a child..."
The fox's smile froze, knowing what would come next from the beginning, wondering why the junior was so insistent! Aren't there any other stories to tell?
As expected, Rin's next line was, "Don't trust beautiful women."
Among the three present, who isn't beautiful?
So, with a woman's instinct, they immediately shook their heads and said together, "No, choose another one!"
"Oh, why are you all behaving like a bunch of silly geese, can't you just listen to me properly! Then... the woman at the foot of the mountain is a tiger!"
"No, pick another one!"
"Poisonous girl."
"No, pick another one!!"
"Hiss..."
Rin felt a bit of toothache, and immediately gave up, "No more speaking, whoever wants to come, let them come, grandpa is done speaking! What right do you silly geese have to be so picky!"
The silly elkahoge turned her head and chuckled, "Little Rin, don't be upset, it's just that the names you mentioned are really strange."
Suyu nodded, "Indeed, just by listening, one can feel the strong malice."
"Trashy story," Waste Hero affirmed.
Rin smacked his lips, feeling a bit bored, and then said, "Well, what else can we do?"
The four people fell silent together.
At that moment, Waste Hero seemed to hear something, nodded slightly, and proposed in a flat tone, "Let's play truth or dare."
Silly elk suddenly twitched her ahoge hair, glanced at Rin sneakily, and rubbed her hands together, saying, "I also think it's...quite nice, hehe."
The fox squinted her eyes slightly, scanned silly elk, saw right through her little scheming thoughts, but didn't stop her.
Because...it suited her just fine.
"This suggestion is indeed good, and we don't need any props."
"Since you all agree," Rin said, feeling a bit curious, "let's play this game then."
As he spoke, he smoothed out the ground, placed the shiny side of the Magic Book facing up, took out a smooth curved animal horn, and placed it on the cover.
"How are the rules set?"
Several people discussed for a while, and then all agreed that Rin would be the first to spin the pointer to decide whether to play Truth or Dare. The person the pointer landed on would choose Truth or Dare, and then the next person to complete Truth or Dare would continue spinning the pointer.
In Dare, you cannot ask others to do things they cannot do. The game can only be officially ended if three people declare they want to stop.
By the way, Rin strongly suggested not to include kissing or hugging, but it was outvoted by the other three.
Whether a fox, a raccoon, or a cat, all had an inexplicable confidence in themselves. They saw the game as a fair competition, a silent agreement among them.
"Oh, you ask what Rin is doing? Isn't Rin the prize for this competition?"
"Let's begin!"
Rin carefully folded his sleeves a few times, then spun the horn-shaped pointer.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on that horn, as if it were the most precious treasure.
Finally, the tip of the horn slowly stopped, pointing at the silly elk.
The silly elk tapped her own lips and said, "Little Rin! I choose truth! You can ask me anything... anything at all!"
Rin twitched his mouth and glanced over at the silly elk. To be honest, he couldn't think of anything to ask because this deer's mouth couldn't stop chattering, revealing all the secrets during their usual chats.
But upon careful thought, he realized there was indeed one thing he could ask about, and that was the woman from that day...
Rin didn't dare to recall what happened on that day. It was just a subconscious reminder for him, which made the eavesdropping Lord Demon King suddenly very cautious.
What woman, what happened on that day?
No! When I get paired, I must ask clearly! Something doesn't feel quite right!
"Silly elk, in your palace... can anyone freely enter the private garden, and does anyone smell like roses?"
The silly elk's hair stood on end, and she asked warily, "Why do you ask that, Little Rin?"
"Nothing much! It was just one time in the royal palace, I saw a woman acting very suspiciously… sneaky and mysterious, but… but I couldn't see her clearly, only caught a hint of rose scent, not sure if it was perfume or body wash…"
Rin nervously explained, luckily silly elk and Waste Hero were not very doubtful, and the black fox looked quite "normal."
"Well... I'm not really sure! But if you're talking about a rose scent! Sister is the one!"
Rin thought to himself that it probably wasn't Eve, so he stopped worrying about it.
Now it was silly elk's turn to spin, she reached out her small hand, nervously gave it a whirl, then stared intently at the antlers until they stopped, pointing at Rin, prompting cheers.
"Um, I choose truth."
"Hehe, hey, Little Rin, who does Little Rin like the most!"
