Chapter 279 - Truth And Dare With Emilia (2)

Emilia took a chit out from the bowl and opened it. After reading it, she looked at Lith and said,

“It’s truth. What are one of your biggest fears?”

Lith didn’t need to think to come up with an answer since he already had one as soon as he heard the question. But he was pondering whether to say that to Emilia or not.

After thinking for a bit, he decided to say it to her but in very vague terms. He looked at her and said in a calm tone, “losing my loved ones. That’s my biggest fear.”

Emilia nodded. Many had such fears. She wasn’t surprised that Lith had one such as well.

The two went for another round of rock, papers, scissors, and Lith, like before, said to Emilia, “I’ll be going with the scissors this time.”

‘No, it’s going to be rock.’ He thought right after.

Emilia nodded and said, “I’ll go with rock.”

‘what the f.u.c.k? Can she read my mind?’ Lith thought.

But he took a deep breath and thought again that it wasn’t possible. ‘It must definitely be a coincidence. But just to be safe, I won’t change my mind on what I was going to play.’

‘But wait! What if she thinks that I think that she thinks she won’t play rock? In that case, what if I do the same as her and she does the opposite of it? What if she wanted me to do the same as her so that she can be sneaky and do the opposite?’

‘Wait, wait, wait, I am thinking too much. This isn’t good. Let’s leave everything, I’ll just go with scissors as I’ve said!’

Lith’s thought became a mess. It was easy winning against Ralph and Dennis before because they all didn’t overthink and just went one of the given possibilities that Lith made them go through. Thus, it was easy.

But with Emilia, an Emperor Rank, it was too d.a.m.n difficult as Lith couldn’t make out what she was thinking at all. Her choices and possibilities could be completely random for all he knew.

The game began.

“Rock, paper, scissors!”

“Rock, paper, scissors.”

Lith and Emilia said simultaneously and made their move.

Lith did scissors as he thought of but when he saw Emilia’s move, he froze for a second.

Rock!

She did rock as she said! Holy c.r.a.p was she having such simple thoughts!? Did she not think of other things!?

Lith’s thoughts went into a disarray once again as he lost. Winning against someone of such a high rank surely wasn’t possible. The difference between intelligence was too big. Even without magic and anything else, it was simply impossible to beat them even with words.

Emilia had a slight small on her face as she saw Lith’s expression that showed that he was suffering. But she didn’t call him out for it and took a chit from the bowl.

She read it and her smile was gone. She looked at Lith and said the thing from the chit.

“Dare. Enact a scene: apologizing to your partner.”

“Eh?” Lith came out of his thoughts and said.

This scene was… well… this would make things a bit awkward between the two since they were not partners but just friends.

Lith cleared his throat and said, “Miss Emilia, it’s fine, we can skip that. You can take another chit from the bowl if you want.”

Emilia shook her head. “No, it’s fine. Let’s just go with this.”

This was a couples cafe and as far as she knew, there were bound to be such things present here. Rejecting it and opening another chit won’t help either. So it was best to go with whatever is on.

“Are you sure? Because you know, the things I might do may make you feel uncomfortable. So you can just reject it if you want.” Lith said calmly.

He was not a creep or a pervert who would use every opportunity possible to touch women or have their way with them. He becomes a pervert only when he’s with his ladies. At other times, he wouldn’t do such things.

He knew well that he and Emilia were just friends and these things might really make her uncomfortable. She was an angel and they strongly believed in being intimate after marriage and not before. A few things here and there were okay such as kissing and going for the second base, but other than that, the home base wasn’t allowed.

Emilia nodded her head and said, “it’s fine. Let’s just go with it. We’ll play for five rounds and then leave, okay?”

Lith nodded. He then got up from his seat and said with a smile, “I’ll start with my dare then.”

Emilia nodded her head and Lith, getting an approval, walked close to her.

Once he was close to her, he hugged her and placed her head on his chest and said while patting her back, “I am sorry, it wasn’t supposed to happen that way, but it did. It was a mistake on my part.”

Emilia was dumbfounded as Lith did that. She wasn’t expecting him to really get into character and do such a scene. But she didn’t say anything and simply went with the flow.

Lith kept quiet while gently patting her back. This actually made Emilia feel warm and comfortable. As far as Emilia knew, she had only gotten cared for like this when she was small and still with her mother. After she left her mother to embark on her cultivation path, such a thing never happened.

The chances for her to get patted like this also turned to a solid zero once she became the War Angel. n.o.body dared to mess with her, let alone touch her. Despite how she looked and behaved, she was one of the world’s strongest beings if we exclude the Supreme Ranks.

Lith was basically having one of such strongest beings in his embrace right now and was patting her and treating her like how one would treat a young and sad girl.

Emilia simply closed her eyes and tried not to feel embarra.s.sed because of whatever was happening right now. But when she closed her eyes, she actually felt Lith’s warmth and comfort even more, causing her blush slightly.

But since she was the adult here, she didn’t show it on her face and tried to make her face look normal.

But all her efforts went down the drain when Lith backed off a bit and held her face lightly with both his hands.

Lith bent down and brought his face close to hers and while holding her face, he said in a serious tone:

“I know you’re…”
