Chapter 100: Theme, Love!
Next to approach was Damiyala, a girl who consistently maintained good results. She possessed a unique light blue long hair, inadvertently capturing Tyr’s gaze as she passed through the crowd.
“She’s such an elegant girl,” Tyr couldn’t help but stroke his chin in awe.
“If it weren’t for Tyr wearing a black mask right now, others might have seen the smirk on his face.”
“So, Damiyala, your number is 1, and your theme is War.”
“War… ” Damiyala furrowed her brows slightly. This was a very difficult theme to perform because war was always on a large scale, and just two people couldn’t really depict it.
At this moment, Yuehai quickly stepped forward, beating another restless girl to it, and pressed the draw card.
A ’10’ immediately appeared on the card. The female host, Siva, nodded slightly and said.
“Alright! So, what Miss Yuehai has drawn is number 10, with the theme being Love!”
“What?”
“Love, Miss Yuehai.”
“….” Let me make a sad expression.
Yuehai covered her face with her right hand, and walked back leisurely. This was it, she meowed, ending up with love. How was this any different from sending herself to her doom?
The key was that this love was between herself and a man. And the target should be Master Claude now.
That’s the question, can love spark between men?
The answer was yes, but definitely not herself.
Wow, just the thought of it makes me blush! Isn’t this like heaven playing a prank on me and deliberately arranging a shameful punishment?
And when Claude heard that the theme was love, countless thoughts naturally flashed through his mind. The words “I love you to death” still echoed in his ears…
At that moment, Yuehai walked back, their not-so-tall figure appearing quite small in front of Claude. Blushing furiously, Yuehai lowered their head and spoke softly.
“Master Claude, what should we do?”
Then Claude saw Yuehai, with a hint of tears in her eyes, blushing as she raised her head, looking at him with pleading eyes.
Thump, thump! His heart felt like it had been hit by a level sixteen spell.
Claude’s face gradually reddened. Seeing Yuehai appear so vulnerable and helpless, he felt an overwhelming urge to protect them. Though his expression seemed flustered, his voice involuntarily spoke out.
“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”
“No no no, I mean, what should we do about this theme?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”
“Never mind, I’ll just think about it myself.” Although Yuehai didn’t know why Claude reacted that way, she decided to brainstorm on her own for now.
Eventually, after the draw was completed, everyone had an hour to think. But due to the advantage of being the tenth in line, Yuehai actually had at least one hundred minutes to think.
This hour was actually a disguised break time for them. The organizers wouldn’t make over four billion people wait for another sixty minutes. They prepared various programs, and finally, Duke Falexis also made an appearance. After saying a few words, he hastily left.
“So, Arena, do you have any ideas?” Tyr and Arena were hiding in a corner, whispering to each other sneakily.
“W-what ideas, Lord Tyr?” The little elf blinked her eyes, obviously not understanding Tyr’s meaning at all.
“But regarding the theme of nature, aren’t you a wind spirit? Isn’t nature something deeply ingrained in you?”
“…” Arena was momentarily at a loss for words, her delicate fingers suddenly twirling her long hair into a coil.
Tyr couldn’t believe it. The little one dared to play with her hair in front of him while he was asking questions. And with some flair too.
“Why aren’t you speaking?”
“It’s not that, Lord Tyr. It’s just that I don’t have any ideas about the theme of nature.”
“Why? You’re a wind spirit, aren’t you? When it comes to the perception of forest nature, who could be more profound than you except for water spirits?” Tyr really couldn’t understand this. He placed one hand on the wall, blocking the little elf’s path, his entire face unconsciously drawing closer.
“If there’s no reason for me to agree, can I consider it non-cooperation? And I won’t go easy on you with those naughty things.”
“Naughty things…” The petite elf’s face turned pale with fright as she watched Tyr getting closer and closer to her head. Arena hurriedly spoke up.
“I grew up with my father. He was a merchant in the Sanguis Empire. Besides hiring a priestess as my teacher, he was always out trading. Later, when he became successful, he took me to see the lake nymphs of the Sang Zang Forest. He said that as long as we received their blessings, I could become a true priestess. But we encountered a thick fog in the forest, and my father’s group got separated. After that, we were captured by a group of humans and kept imprisoned for half a year in the Eiansiris Kingdom. Then, they sent me to a slave market in the Milik Kingdom, and after that, I met you, sir.”
“So, besides learning a bit of magic, you don’t know anything else?”
“Yeah, yeah,” the little elf nodded repeatedly.
“You’re such a liar,” Tyr remained calm on the surface, but he felt very disdainful inside. It was obvious the other was lying. However, pressing further would only make their relationship more tense. So after much deliberation, Tyr decided it was better to figure things out on his own. Suddenly, he felt that having two bodies was really inconvenient. On one hand, there was love, and on the other, nature. He had to design two performances all by himself… If only God could pay a salary, he hoped to get some extra bonus.
