Chapter 604

Suddenly, the large tent fell silent as they all stopped talking .

They stopped and they exchanged a look with each other, sensing something was off, they mechanically turned their heads around . They pointed their lips over at a certain corner of this place, specifically, the center of this large tent .

Two ravis.h.i.+ng ladies stood there while examining each other . They had very elegant smiles on their faces and they both looked like they had a very good upbringing . Compared to the rest of the tent that was making noises like no tomorrow, they looked like two Ojou-samas who entered a supermarket to buy stuff .

Shokuhou Misaki and Tokisaki Kurumi are facing off against each other .

They weren’t exchanging words, they just stood there smiling at each other . The others recognized that the weird mood enveloping them was coming from the both of them .

“Those two…”

Wu Yan who was playing the role of a crying baby stopped at this moment, although he didn’t stop hugging Yukari’s leg because of reasons . His sniveling look was gone, replaced with a look belonging to that of one who walked on thin ice .

“Are you talking about the two of them?”

Yukari smacked Wu Yan’s head with her fan . She wanted this b.u.g.g.e.r to let go of her leg . She continued .

“Yeah, when the spirits arrived, these two immediately located each other and they started a staring contest, I believe they haven’t exchanged a single word up until now…”

“Hah?”

Wu Yan stood up and he scratched his cheek in confusion . He could vaguely sense invisible forces clas.h.i.+ng against each other in the air, his body started trembling in response to this invisible pressure .

“Something’s not right here, what are they doing?…”

Yukari gave him a mysterious smile and she shrugged him off .

“Well, I don’t know about that…”

After everyone quieted down, they started moving away from the two of them . They also made sure to shut their traps lest they attract unwanted attention and become casualties in what appeared to be an imminent battle of wits . Mikoto who would jump at any opportunity to get back at Shokuhou Misaki also chose to watch from the sidelines just like the two air-headed bottomless pit combo .

It’s like both of them aren’t aware that they are currently the focal point of everyone’s attention . Everyone’s legs started getting tired but these two are still staring at each other .

Wu Yan’s lips twitched and he experienced a mix of joy and sadness . He’s glad that his prediction somewhat came true with this pseudo-shuraba-esque scene . Now, he’s worried that if the two of them really fought, he would get dragged in and die as a result . That would be a major pain in the b.u.t.t .

“I feel like…”

Wu Yan laughed awkwardly .

“This won’t end well…”

Shokuhou Misaki and Tokisaki Kurumi finally stopped “longingly gazing” at each other . They both extended a hand to exchange handshakes .

“Nice to meet you, Tokisaki-san, I presume?”

Shokuhou Misaki greeted her with a perfectly radiant smile, her smile lit up the whole tent .

“I have heard Yan-kun talking about you and I had always wanted to meet you . I am so blessed to have my little wish come true today, yours truly, Shokuhou is very glad to make an acquaintance with you . ”

“Shokuhou-san…”

Tokisaki Kurumi replied with a charming smile as well . Her red eyes narrowed into crescent-moon like slits . She looked very mature and womanly, her brilliance was on par with Shokuhou Misaki . She easily raised the temperature in the tent . Her sweet voice also raised the body temperature of the other ladies in here .

“Likewise, I have heard great exploits done by you…”

Kurumi tilted her head with a slight blush on her cheeks .

“From my hubby-sama’s words, I can tell that he loves you very, very much . After meeting you, I feel inferior in comparison…”

Her words sounded modest, sure, but her tone carried a sarcastic tone of disdain . Also, her words shook the other ladies .

“Hubby-sama?!”

They all gasped .

“Hubby…sama…”

Wu Yan’s jaw hit the floor .

“Ara ara…”

Yukari hid her raised lips with her fan .

“Looks like a good show is about to start…”

Shokuhou Misaki’s smile froze up for a second there but he quickly recovered . However, all of them could see her aura being mitigated by the new player’s words .

Shokuhou Misaki’s inner persona turned grim as she raised the alarm inside herself . This girl who is still blus.h.i.+ng like a newly-wed wife isn’t as simple as she looked .

Shokuhou Misaki was going to use her maxed out elegance skill on this foe but she never expected her to play a reverse card on her . Not only that, she decided to change the game from comparing elegance to one of charm, a.s.serting her advanced familiarity with Wu Yan by calling him hubby-sama .

She used the “sama” suffix to express her supportive role behind Wu Yan with eloquence knowing full-well that this spot was very coveted in his still-expanding harem so she basically told everyone she was the one who is closest to Wu Yan while Shokuhou Misaki is only the side-mistress .

She pulled one over Shokuhou Misaki with her “modest-but-firm” words . In this manner, she also showed her grandiosity and adultness . In this battle of the words and wits, she is the one with the leading advantage .

She’s good .

Shokuhou Misaki immediately raised her a.s.sessment of this newcomer .

“Oh, pish-posh, Tokisaki Kurumi-san…”

Shokuhou Misaki gave her a smile that was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with grace . She retrieved some of her n.o.ble air and she exerted more of her Queen’s aura .

“Tokisaki-san’s appearance eclipses most any other, no doubt about that…”

Shokuhou Misaki’s starry eyes brightened up and she transformed into the most regal person here, using her royal aura to outs.h.i.+ne worldly matters, including that which involved using fake modesty to increase her charm . She proved that she was too majestic to go that low .

“Shokuhou is satisfied with being by our beloved’s side just like my other kind sisters . I dare not l.u.s.t for more love than I have already received…”

Shokuhou Misaki covered her mouth while giggling .

“If Yan-kun would spare me a few glances now and then, Shokuhou will be very satisfied already…”

The audience is all slack-jawed with her enlightened mode of speech . They started flipping tables out of outrage inside their hearts .

Shokuhou Misaki, are you even listening to yourself?!

Kurumi changed her look .

Shokuhou Misaki used her “taking-the-high-road” to give her a good verbal spanking . She’s indirectly calling her basic for using something like charm and s.e.xiness to monopolize her loved one . Instead, she chose to use her moral high-ground to throw stones named “Love is to be shared and not monopolized” down on her . Tokisaki was the first one to bring up the subject of love .

Also, her Queen’s aura wasn’t a fabrication . It’s something that she earned for herself after spending a long enough time lording over everyone else . She showed them the difference between a n.o.ble and a pleb . She showed her who is the one who had a higher standing here .

With an excellent riposte from Shokuhou Misaki, Kurumi was curbed . It would be weird if she didn’t experience a change of facial expression .

She’s good .

Tokisaki Kurumi raised her a.s.sessment of Shokuhou Misaki just like the latter did at the start of this debacle .
