Chapter 154: Continue the Conquest
Eikou, in a panic, outright threw the game console away.
He panted in fright, his heart still lingering in terror from the scene just now.
It was truly unbelievable that this game could even release an upgraded version, the fact that anyone played it was already bizarre enough.
"This is too terrifying, this is obviously a horror game..."
Tristan raised the score board again: "60 points, congratulations, you passed!"
"You've got to be kidding me, I ended up like this and still passed?" Eikou asked in shock.
"Considering this is your first time playing this game, and you even successfully cuckolded the other side, I'm willing to give you a passing grade."
What the hell do you mean by successful, I—a blond-haired, tanned guy—ended up cuckolding someone's husband, then got chased and hacked at by his wife, isn't this a complete disgrace to being blond guy?
Sure enough, I shouldn't have listened to Tristan. In the end, what good does playing some trash game do for reality—far from learning any cuckold skills, I only ended up even more afraid of other people's wives!
"Sir Eikou, congratulations on having more or less completed my first test, but we still have the second lesson..."
"There's more?"
Eikou hurriedly shook his head—this game, he absolutely would not touch it again.
But right at that moment, the system text popped up a reminder.
[You have passed Tristan's first test.]
[You are gradually grasping the secrets of interacting with other men's wives. From now on, dice checks with Yu Ji will be lowered from 'Normal difficulty' to 'Easy difficulty'.]
Looking at the rewards displayed on the screen,
Eikou revealed a look of disbelief.
Holy crap, Tristan's special training actually could have real effect?!
"Why, though, I don't feel like I've learned anything at all. Don't even mention grasping the secrets of interacting with other men's wives—obviously, the more I dealt with Kriemhild, the more disastrous it became..."
Could it be... this "Love Sleeping 2 Royal Edition" actually had some value?
After all, it was the divine cuckold masterpiece most praised by Tristan, it really did have some impressive points.
If he continued completing Tristan's special training, the difficulty of conquering Yu Ji might drop even further.
Quietly, he picked up the game console that had been thrown to the end of the bed, intending to play a bit more.
"Alright then... Tristan, what's the next assignment?"
Eikou asked.
Tristan didn't really understand why he suddenly had a change of heart, but still put on a stern teacher's air, giving a firm reply: "The next assignment is, in one playthrough you must conquer three wives simultaneously!"
Conquer three wives simultaneously?!
This difficulty spike wasn't just a little bit, in the previous run he couldn't even conquer one single wife!
But at least he had seen some faint hope of conquering Yu Ji.
In that case, playing a bit more was fine too.
"Understood."
Eikou didn't hesitate for too long, and opened the game console again.
In the previous run he had been killed by Kriemhild, but thanks to multiple playthroughs unlocking all personal routes directly, his plan of action this time could be much freer.
"Sir Eikou, from here on the real game begins, because in the second run you'll no longer be restricted by character routes—just freely realize your harem dream of nine wives!"
"That's not my dream, don't go changing other people's dreams on your own!"
Though he scolded, he still opened up the game.
「From here on, you can freely act.」
「Carrying over the content from the previous run, this time you can freely choose the order of conquering wives.」
Eikou pushed the joystick, moving his tiny pixel character around.
Same as last run, he chose Kriemhild as his conquest target.
Just as he guided his character out of the classroom, right in the hallway outside, a pink-haired pixel character suddenly had an exclamation mark appear above her head, then quickly approached him.
"What's this now?"
Eikou found he could no longer control his character, it seemed he had entered a story segment.
"Oh, Sir Eikou," Tristan watched his run closely, "looks like your luck is pretty good—just stepping outside and you've already encountered a random wife route. Besides the fixed wife routes, sometimes you can also encounter wife characters that can be conquered on the world map."
"Mm, mm, from a gameplay experience perspective that does add surprise and freshness," Eikou muttered.
He glanced at the pink-haired pixel character.
Even though the character was rendered in pixel art, it was still clear to see the crown on her pink hair, the white fur cloak, and the whip in her hand. Just one look and it was obvious this was Queen Medb—the gyaru-style bitch of the Britain classroom.
"Ohoho, truly a handsome warrior,"
Above Queen Medb's head appeared a dialogue box, speaking thus:
"When our eyes meet for 3 seconds, it can be considered acquaintance. Let's have a duel of [beep——] together!"
Immediately afterward, she activated her Noble Phantasm [Chariot My Love: My Dear Iron Chariot], forcibly dragging Eikou's game character onto her chariot, and then the game screen turned into that familiar mosaic.
This mosaic… Melusine had done the same before!
Her mouth was spouting childish NPC-style lines like in Pokémon, but as soon as it began she was already doing age-restricted stuff!
"What the hell is this! Why is my character being dragged into the chariot, and why is this chariot shaking so violently?!"
"Uhm, that is..."
Tristan looked at the Iron Chariot shaking and couldn't help but speak seriously: "Sasuga Sir Eikou, you've just stepped out the door and already pushed through the personal route of a wife character. You really do understand how to conquer other people's hearts."
"I clearly didn't do anything, I was the one who got pushed down! There's no love between me and her at all, it's purely a product of lust, that's all!"
「You have consumed a large amount of MP, but in the end successfully conquered Queen Medb.」
「From now on you must be careful with her lovers: Cu Chulainn, Fergus, the knights in Celtic mythology, and also the boys she dated in school.」
"How many lovers does she even have? She's not a wife at all, just a bitch with a chaotic private life, having tons of boyfriends…"
"Gahhh, I'm about to lose it with this game, hurry and push through the routes of the other wives and then drop this damn thing already!"
Barely escaping from Queen Medb's carriage, Eikou quickly controlled his character to run straight to Kriemhild, without looking back.
Yet he happened to encounter another wife character right in the classroom hallway inside the game.
Looking at the long white pixelated hair along with the dark-toned outfit, it seemed to be none other than Brynhildr, the Northern Valkyrie goddess.
"Uhm, didn't expect to meet an off-plan target here… But that's fine, I can try probing her a little, since I need to gather three characters anyway."
When Eikou was about to press the navigation key to use the command 「Investigate」 on Brynhildr—
Thud!
The other party suddenly hugged his in-game character.
「Brynhildr hugs you, asking if you are Sigurd?」
「Will you answer truthfully, or pretend to be her lover?」
"??"
