Chapter 825: Couple Games
[Rein's POV: ]
"To think I'll ever see a (Green horned Hippo)…"
"Even the (Red eyed crown vultures), that (Small teeth Linx), and those (Silverback crocodiles)… many of the creatures here are ones that I've only ever heard about."
"What do you all think is the most rare one among all of them? The rarest one according to you." I asked with a little smile while looking at the rest of them.
It was a fine evening and we were still chatting by the shore of the lake.
Eon had started working on the dinner and some of them were helping him over there, but even without them, he would have been fine since he had the help of some of the creatures present here.
"The rarest?"
"There are some creatures here I don't even know about. How can I decide-."
"That's why I said 'according to you' you dummies. There's no need to worry about being right or wrong. Just tell me what you think is the rarest."
"Why though? And how can we even say something is the rarest when we don't even know much about-."
"Shut up, Tia. Just play the game."
She wasn't understanding the simple meaning behind this mundane question.
"There's still some time left before we get to eat something so just play a game, alright? Don't make things too complicated."
Aside from me, Med, Lizzy, Zoe, Tia, Jen, Ezra, Prince Alph, and Quinny were present around me.
And though Prince Alph was the only odd person here, he was sitting with his close 'friend' so, he had to play this game as well if he wanted to keep sitting here.
Or else he should go and help my darling like the others.
"It sounds fun." Quin didn't mind playing along, and since one did not mind, the rest of them also had no choice but to play along with us.
And, I know it would be a fun game alredy.
"Alright then~."
But, before we get started with this little game of ours, since my darling was passing by us with a bunch of herbs from around the area in his hands, I needed to give him one thing.
"Darling!"
-Swiiiiiish…!
Shouting his name and attracting his attention, I threw a certain object at him with full force while covering it in mana and a bunch of speed acceleration spells.
"Hmm? What-…!"
He wasn't paying attention to us since there seemed to be a bunch of things on his mind already, so when he saw the shiny thing flying towards him at that kind of speed, he was stunned.
It would obviously be shocking to anyone if they notice a projectile flying towards them at that kind of speed, but, unlike the natural response of fear or terror or freeze, he was pretty calm and caught the coin that had flown towards him at that kind of speed.
Making it seem like this was nothing big to him.
"Thanks!"
I already knew he would catch something like this if he was able to catch me falling, but then he looked at the black coin in his hand, and was a little surprised.
"You're a bastard!"
Smiling at him happily as I said that, I cursed a little more though Celes' connection.
And after he shook his head with a smile, and placed the coin back in his storage space, I returned to the conversation we were having- to our little fun game.
"Okey, let's start. Who's going first?"
The game was simple as they only had to chose which creature that they thought would be the most rare among the rest of them. And this was going to judge their knowlagd about the creatures present here.
It was only a game so the others will comment on their choice and there would be some kind of discussion in the middle and ultimately, this would lead to a fun pass time.
'Prince Alph was here and he possessed the pinnacle of wisdom, so he was bound to know a bunch of things about most, if not all, the things and creatures present here.'
And since Ezra was here as well, he will have no choice but to play along with the rest of us.
"How about you start, Lizzy-… hmm? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
The game was going to be a fun activity and they all knew that as well, but, instead of starting the play with an excited look, there was confusion covering their pretty faces.
"What happened?"
They were thinking something and from the looks of it, it was about the thing I jad just done.
Some were also looking at Eon so, it was understandable that they were thinking about the coin and had questions about this thing.
"Uriel… I've seen you two do it a few times now— giving each other those black and white coins, I mean. And I've always wanted to know what exactly those things are.
Is there something special about those coins?"
"They seemed to be made out of Mana so, is there something special about them?"
Jen knew who we were, just like Prince Alph and Zoe, so they knew a little more about us than the rest did. But still, even the two of them were just as much curious as the rest of them.
They had seen us pass these strange coins to one another and after seeing us do it so many times, it would obviously be interesting to most of them…
Though, there wasn't anything that special about these things.
"It's just a little game we play."
The condensed materialised coins that we had created for one another. The coins that allowed one to make the other do anything they wanted.
"We give one another those coins. And when one gives it back to the other, we can ask the other one whatever we wanted them to do, and they would have to do it… though, of course, there are rules to this game."
Rules that they didn't need to know about.
'This was a personal thing, a couple things as I'd like to put it, and from the smile I had, Jen and a few others understood it perfectly.'
And actually, they seemed to have liked this idea.
"Interesting…"
"You can tell the other one to do anything you want? And the other one will have to do it regardless of if they want to do it or not?"
Jen was the newly engaged one here so she found it the most interesting while the rest of them who also had a partner or a future partner in mind found this little game to be quite entertaining as well.
"There are some rules and there are some restrictions but, they are something that we have made ourselves.
And this is Our little game… you don't have to follow the same thing as us.
There are countless things that couples could do, a number of games that one could make if they sit down with their partner and brainstorm ideas.
It's not that difficult, certainly not if both of you want to do it."
I was technically the one with the most dating experience present here, and no… one one found to be a Relabel adviser when it came to anything related to love.
That bastard might have seen a number of ladies and slept around with a bunch of them, but he was still the most single person we had in this little group.
'He was miserable, and he liked being that way.'
Which was strange, but at the same time, something I found pretty relatable.
'He was a wizard and a lot older than how he looked. He was also one of the only people among us that was going to live for the longest if nothing out of the ordinary happened to him in his lifetime.'
He was strong already and he knew what this world was, what it can offer and what it was going to turn into.
That's why… he had little interest in the world, and worldly things.
'He was a free spirit.'
There was a deep darkness that he carried along in his heart, but he was happy with what he had. And, for that, I could hate him even if I wanted to.
He was a decent guy that knew what he was doing.
Which was much better than most of the dummies currently present around me.
"Alright now."
They were now thinking about the things that they could do with their partners or the things that they could do with their dear friends.
Jen was already cooking something. There was this evil smirk on her face that even sent shivers down my spine… poor Ginger was going to face something sinister soon.
"Let's start the game, shall we?"
The ladies present here were certainly going to talk about this little incident and tell their own thoughts about it to the others in this group.
Soon, everyone was going to know about this coin game we played as well, and they might also develop something of their own…
'It wasn't my intention but, it looks like I had created a legacy of some kind.'
It was pretty funny, and interesting as well if I say so myself… but more than that, it was a good thing.
"Med! Start. Which creatures do you think are the rarest~?"
Stay with the story on m v l e m p y r
These little games were important among the couples that were going to spend most of their time in one another's presence.
They not only helped them get closer, it reminded them why they had got together in the first place.
'It was a great thing.'
And if they were going to create one of their own, they were going to remember me for giving them such a great idea as well.
'Hehehe. And then they would thank me.'
In a way, they would be indebted to us… I don't want them to be, but well, it might come in handy one day.
Who knows what the future holds for us? Having such debts shouldn't be bad, right…?
