“Y-You’re right! How blind of me!” Ichie takes off her own cardboard! “I will forever honor my king’s request!” She slowly starts walking back to her old shield: the back of the couch.
“See? Whatever you do, it will stick. Why not get something nice?” Crossbill smiles at the redhead.
“Mhm, it’s all luck anyway… But I’m here to play.” Ruby’s thoughts are clouded with one idea, as her eyes are locked at the manifestation of said idea: You! She probably likes the paper bag! Perhaps she will ask for one herself?
“What is your command?” Ichie asks like she’s part of Ruby’s royal guard.
“I want Number 2 to share the same fate as I did before.” Ruby dodges saying it out loud. You all look down to her thighs except the individual that is going to follow her footsteps…
“What goes around, comes around…” Crossbill shows her straw. She’s the peasant! She’s getting what she did to Ruby!
“Oh… I’m sorry, I suppose...” Ruby sounds more disappointed than apologetic.
“If you feel that way, why don’t we skip this one?” Crossbill smiles.
“That’s not going to happen.” Ruby shakes her head like a vindictive redhead. “What goes around, comes around.” She repeats the bird’s song. “The King is ready. Take them off.”
“R-Right! In one swift swoop!” Crossbill takes her pants off with the grace of a gymnast! “O-One and done! No need for applause!”
You clap though, she has <span class="mu-i">quality long legs</span>... Suan De facepalms instead, that’s one way to clap...
“S-She said no clapping.” Ichie wants you to stop.
“If I didn’t go to jail, this would’ve been my biggest scandal…” Crossbill laughs at herself as she sits down next to Ruby. “We’re buds now! Butt buds!”
“W-We’re friends, but that name is…” Ruby gets all red.
“C’mon, get confident, the Knockout can’t take his eyes off us.” Crossbill whispers loudly, she wants the redhead to take the heat from her since the bird isn’t handling it well.
“No, it’s because I’m hiding behind you!” Ichie steals the credit.
“Shut up.” Suan De deadpans. “Next straw.” She’s ready to deliver.
“Okay! Everyone! I believe it’s the appropriate time to expand the rules: The King can apply an order to more than one peasant!” Ichie acts like the host.
“Fine. But these shall be the last few rounds.” Suan De wants this to end in a way that prevents everyone from complaining.
Now the king holds more power than ever…
<span class="mu-s">Who is the next king?</span>
>You.>Ichie.>Ruby.>Suan De.>Crossbill.
