Type-Moon, isn't this really the other world?

Or is it within the seven-day period stipulated in the contract?

The thought of that scene instantly brought Artemis back to her senses, making her feel cold all over, but she quickly relaxed as well.

fortunately.

This guy made a bet with himself.

As long as you don't flirt with Aozaki Touko, that kind of thing won't happen!

"A bet...a bet on something really weird?!"

······

Orion, who had just entered the bar, could not hear the agonizing screams of Artemis, whom he had been longing for day and night, coming from behind the security cameras.

His gaze fell on Aozaki Touko.

My eyes lit up.

The already stunningly beautiful mature woman, in a slightly tipsy state, had her beautiful eyes slightly glazed over and her face flushed, which added even more charm to her.

"Good evening, beautiful lady."

Orion walked straight toward Aozaki Touko without the slightest hesitation, a warm smile on his face.

May I sit here?

Although that's what he said, Orion was already sitting opposite Aozaki Touko, and he was also thinking about the complexities of this era.

If it were his era...

If you see a beautiful woman you like, you can just go up to her, pin her to the ground, and get to work. There's no need to go through the trouble of flirting like in this day and age.

However, when you encounter something that matches your tone and preferences...

Orion doesn't mind going through the formality of striking up a conversation; it adds a sense of ceremony.

Of course, wanting to sleep with the other person was one thing, but Orion also wanted to find out about the train and news about Artemis.

— striking up a conversation is just a side effect.

He had just sat down, waiting for the other party's reply, pondering how to rescue Artemis without delaying the rescue process, while also developing a relationship with this beautiful lady.

Orion suddenly felt a jolt in his heart, and he frowned and looked around. He suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

It's just like.

It's as if something important is slowly slipping away.

And just then.

Marg Daniel also came over.

"Aozaki Touko, I didn't expect to see you here too."

······

"Looks like you lost."

at the same time.

In the train manager's office.

As soon as Artemis finished speaking, Orion, who had just entered the bar and seen Aozaki Touko, strode directly toward her.

Because all of this happened so smoothly and effortlessly.

Without the slightest pause.

Artemis, who hadn't even had a chance to look down, also saw the scene. Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

until...

"Awooooo?!?!"

Lin Jiu'an's attacks came like a storm.

Artemis, regaining her senses, screamed in agony.

His grip on the table was so tight that if it weren't for the fact that his strength had been reduced to almost nothing by the intense battle, he probably would have crushed the table. Yet his eyes remained fixed on the scene on the monitor screen.

Orion watched as he chatted with Aozaki Touko with a big smile.

The disbelief in his eyes gradually turned into despair and anger.

"Impossible! Absolutely not... Waaaaaah?!?!"

Artemis stopped looking at the monitor screen, tilted her head back, and tears streamed down her face, mixing with saliva and covering her snow-white neck.

His eyes were filled with the despair of betrayal.

"Why...so cloying?!?"

"Wow, you two have such a good relationship."

"If I were in that situation, I would consider myself a terrible person, and I would definitely not be in the mood to chat up a beautiful woman I don't know."

"Stop talking! Stop talking... Ouch?!?"

Artemis cried out, her eyes filled with even deeper despair.

If it is under normal conditions.

She would never have such a strong reaction to Orion, that habitual scumbag, hitting on beautiful women.

They might even feel despair and anger because of this.

It's also understandable that Orion's actions were partly motivated by a desire to find out her whereabouts; while he was angry, his emotions shouldn't have reached this point.

But unfortunately, her condition is not normal now.

Deeply trapped in Lin Jiu'an's clutches, especially now that she's been tormented by him day and night for a whole day, she's physically and mentally exhausted yet extremely excited, just like someone who's been staying up for several nights and is having wild thoughts at midnight.

It's best not to think about anything at all.

Add to that Lin Jiu'an's constant teasing and provocative words, and the fact that everything he said was true.

Lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife!

Even now, she can understand that Orion did this to find out her whereabouts, but can't you ask a man for information?

There were so many people in the bar.

Even assuming we're being honest, if someone really wanted to ask for information, shouldn't it be the waiter who should be doing it? What's with you asking a drunk, beautiful woman for information?!

This is a comparison.

Artemis felt the suffering she had endured during this time.

The bet between myself and Lin Jiu'an for seven days.

The torment he had suffered for his unyielding spirit, and his current pain and exhaustion, stood in stark contrast to Orion's smiling face on the monitor.

Orion's smile seemed to be a mockery of himself.

The immense magic was her 'punishment' for misjudging people.

"Not cloying?!?"

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully put "Artemis" into the "Advanced Corruption" state and have received the reward "Moon Goddess's Love Arrow (A+)".]

Watching Artemis, after wailing, collapse heavily into the pool of water, her expression one of despair, unconscious, a wicked smile crept onto Lin Jiu'an's lips.

Orion, oh Orion.

Lin Jiu'an felt like he could just wake up Artemis right now.

He already had at least a 50% chance of succeeding in demanding the termination of the original contract with her and making her his woman.

However, this is not a 100% guarantee of success, and it's not a sure thing.

I'll give you one more chance.

······

That night.

The Magic Eye Collection Train sounded its whistle and slowly departed from the station.

Lin Jiu'an leaned back on the sofa by the window, one hand on the armrest and the other holding a glass of red wine containing Coca-Cola.

After admiring the rapidly receding scenery outside the window for a while...

Look back.

His gaze fell upon the beautiful back hidden by the long, snow-white hair so close to his face. He stared at it for a moment, then looked up and saw Artemis reflected in the full-length mirror on the wall in front of the sofa.

After Artemis fell into a coma.

Lin Jiu'an did not continue to target her and Orion.

Instead, he personally took her to the bathroom to take a bath, and Artemis woke up halfway through the bath.

Although they still couldn't break the contract.

However, it was clear to the naked eye that Artemis no longer resisted his body, and now she didn't even need his 'threats' anymore; all of this was entirely of her own volition.

The resistance I felt during the previous match was completely gone.

Lin Jiu'an put down the wine glass.

He raised his hand, which was slightly cool from touching the glass of red wine with ice, and placed it on Artemis's beautiful back, causing her to shiver instinctively from the coolness.

As if caressing a work of art, I stroked Artemis's flawless back.

"How about we make another bet?"

"What, um, a bet?"

Artemis bit her lower lip, her beautiful blue eyes meeting Lin Jiu'an's gaze without any shame, the coldness in her eyes seemingly even greater than usual.

Compared to her usual liveliness, she exuded a more aloof and detached air, befitting the goddess of the moon.

“I’ll arrange for a dead agent to seduce him.”

"If he takes the bait, our contract will be void, and you can be my woman without worry. If he doesn't take the bait, our contract will still be void, but I will give you the antidote and set you free."

Artemis suddenly stopped.

His face was full of struggle.

But the tension in his body made Lin Jiu'an gasp.

After a long silence, Artemis finally said in a trembling voice, "Alright!"

······

It was midnight that day.

The Magic Eye Collection Train has returned to the ocean.

Orion stood by the window, watching the unchanging night view of the sea for a while, feeling somewhat irritated.

Not only did he try to chat up Aozaki Touko during the day, only to be met with her completely ignoring him, but he also learned from her that he had never actually seen Artemis on the train.

Later, they met the owner of the train.

Rita Rogéan.

The other party was a stunning beauty who was no less beautiful than Aozaki Touko, and even more feminine. However, just like Aozaki Touko, he showed her no respect and completely ignored her.

They were given the same message: 'They've never even seen Artemis.'

Then.

Is the news that Artemis is on the train fake?

"Master, I'm going out for a walk."

"it is good."

Mag Daniel didn't stop him. This room had been transformed into a small magic workshop. Even if there was an invasion from outside, he could hold out until Orion returned.

He then left the private room.

Orion is in a very bad mood right now.

Before boarding the train, he had various models and celebrities that Mag Daniel found for him to vent his frustrations on, and he could also chat them up when he was bored. However, it became difficult to bring women on board the train.
