I love time travel the most!

"No need for you to worry. So, what's the main point?"

"You decide the terms of the bet, and you also decide the criteria for winning. Of course, if I win, I'll give Liu Zi to you, and I'll give you 200 Saint Gold Coins; if I lose, I'll stop bothering you and give you 200 Saint Gold Coins as compensation. How about that? That way, you won't lose out no matter what."

Under Kobayashi's second urging gaze, Priscilla revealed her proposal and generously offered to share the method of the bet.

After all, she was the one who took the initiative to ask for it, so it's only natural that she would make some concessions.

You're really confident.

I admit that your "sun's blessing" is very strong, but if, I mean if I were to have a contest to see who can pee the farthest, how would you respond?

Unfortunately, in order to maintain his image, Kobayashi really couldn't say that.

Otherwise, not only would Ryuu and Subaru Natsuki cast disdainful glances at her, but Priscilla might also have drawn her Blazing Sword in shame and indignation.

It's better to reject her here.

Facing the girl in the red dress, who was incredibly confident about both her proposal and the outcome of the bet, she said:

"Yes. It seems like I won't lose out no matter what."

"That……"

"But I refuse! What I love most is saying no to arrogant people!"

Kobayashi struck a strange pose.

Priscilla didn't understand why this man had suddenly gone mad, but Subaru Natsuki, who knew about JoJo, understood that Kobayashi was playing on this joke and gave him an approving and excited look.

"Why reject it? At least I think the proposal is quite reasonable."

"You made a mistake."

"what?"

"That's all. Liu Zi is something that money can't measure in my heart."

Such a cool statement came from the alley.

Subaru Natsuki was extremely envious.

This method of winning favor was among his top priorities. However, given his affection for Emilia, he'll probably never have the chance to experience such an opportunity.

Seeing that it was almost time, Kobayashi waved his hand and said, "That's it, let's go..."

"and many more."

The willful girl had no idea what giving up meant.

Natsuki Subaru was already impatient and said, "Hey, hey, hey, you just said I'm not popular with the opposite sex, but aren't you the same? Constantly pestering others is too much! Be careful you don't get dumped."

"Hmph, how could I trouble such lowly people? Besides, I am already married."

"get married?!"

"And seven times."

Seven times?!

Priscilla's words were so explosive that they made the innocent boy's mind buzz like a bomb.

It's like a young girl who looks about your age, while you're still a young monk who doesn't know anything about meat, but she's already become a Bodhisattva who saves all people.

"Another world is amazing..."

Subaru Natsuki was completely dumbfounded.

However, Kobayashi knew that although Priscilla had been married seven times, each of her husbands died suddenly on their wedding day, which is why she was known as the "Bloody Bride".

Priscilla ignored the stunned idiot and looked at Kobayashi instead.

"In short, the reason for not agreeing to the bet is that the stakes are not equal, but you also said that it cannot be measured in money... Although I appreciate your statement, it makes me feel conflicted."

Difficult?

If it's difficult, don't do it.

Kobayashi wanted to say that, but instead changed his words and said tactfully, "The basic condition for a bet to be valid is reaching a consensus. Since neither side can accept it, then..."

"Then let's change the stakes."

"Ok?"

"The bargaining chip is me, and everything else remains the same. Are you satisfied now?... No, I am far more important than that maid over there, so I must add you to the mix!"

He continued talking to himself, pointing his index finger at Kobayashi.

She continued to spout rhetoric about being an arrogant tyrant, placing herself on one side of a scale, while the other side consisted of the master and servant.

An overbearing and rude conversion equation.

Natsuki Subaru finally realized what was happening and couldn't help but say, "You're actually using yourself as a bet? You wouldn't happen to have your eye on Kobayashi too, would you? Is that really necessary?"

"You're right."

Priscilla simply admitted it.

He really wanted to ask himself if he could be a prize, if he could at least be considered. But considering the other party's arrogance and willfulness, he knew they would look down on him, so he decided not to ask for trouble.

"What should we do, Kobayashi?"

"Needless to say, of course it's a rejection..."

"Lord Kobayashi, as the wager, may I say a word?"

Just then, Liu Zi suddenly spoke up and interrupted. Don't be fooled by her always expressionless face; that's just her personality.

It seems the doll girl is angry too.

"I am very touched that you, Lord Kobayashi, are thinking of me, but a stray cat that has offended its master and appeared out of nowhere should be punished to let her know her place. Otherwise, she will continue to be looked down upon. So, Lord Kobayashi, please do not worry about my feelings and let Huali kill her."

"...I won't kill her."

Xiaolin couldn't help but complain.

I always felt that Liu Zi wanted me to do something even more outrageous, which I could tell from her sharp tongue.

Priscilla raised her beautiful eyebrows and said, "A wildcat who jumped out from who-knows-where... I've never been called that before. It seems I'll have to train you a bit after winning you over."

"That won't do. A sharp tongue is one of Liu Zi's most endearing traits, and as her owner, I cannot agree to it."

"Hmph, that's hard to say. You'll be the one to be disciplined in the end."

"Don't be too confident, or the world might play a joke on you."

The two engaged in a heated exchange, creating a tense atmosphere even before the bet was made.

Everyone present understood.

The bet has been made.

"The stakes have been set, so we'll decide the details of the bet, right?"

"Of course, if you win, you can do whatever you want with me."

Priscilla gave Kobayashi flirtatious glances with her alluring eyes, and then lifted her unusually full breasts with her arm around Kobayashi's.

The way of thinking that so easily leads to giving up one's body in a bet can only be considered a destructive way of thinking that doesn't consider the consequences—that's the nature of people who lose so much in a casino that they don't even recognize their own mothers.

Then there's the beautiful girl in front of me. If any man saw her, he would probably do all sorts of things to her. What a pathetic and lamentable way of thinking.

What are your thoughts on the lack of response over a long period?

The girl glanced at Kobayashi with a hint of unease.

To Kobayashi, whose gaze, when looking down from the front, revealed deep white ravines, he bluntly said, "This shouldn't be considered advice, but I still want to say—you better take care of yourself, you idiot."

"Oh my, you're quite gentle."

Priscilla was not surprised.

Kobayashi had been reluctant to make bets with herself, partly because she valued her friends. Overall, her affection for Kobayashi increased again.

"So what about the content and the conditions that determine victory or defeat?"

"Yes, considering the limited space, let's use a simple method—rock-paper-scissors—to decide the winner."

Xiaolin's lips curled up slightly.

Considering that Priscilla didn't understand the rules, Kobayashi simply explained to her how to make the moves and the hand shapes for determining the winner.

"Oh ho, I get it. It's a design that's kind of interesting."

"Right? Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients."

The girl didn't understand why Kobayashi would bring up ancient people, but she didn't care.

Then he asked:

"What restrictions are there on me? For example, I can't play stone or paper."

"There's no such restriction! If I did that, wouldn't I be invincible?"

Xiaolin subconsciously made a sarcastic remark.

How confident are they to think they can win even with those limitations?

"Best two out of three, how about that?"

"Understood, then I will prepare the cloth later."

"Release the strategy all at once?"

Subaru Natsuki felt a chill run down his spine.

After explaining the rules, I immediately noticed the ability to understand their applicability; this rapid comprehension is truly astonishing.

Kobayashi also praised the girl's eagerness for victory.

"Alright, let's begin."

"Ah, wait!"

"Come on, rock-paper-scissors..."

"Stop! You haven't said what you're going to play yet!"

Anxious at being controlled by the rhythm, Kobayashi was so caught up in the girl's shouts that he didn't even have time to think things through before instinctively raising his wrist.
