Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty-Two – "Patience Tested"
The stream didn't cut. If anything, it got clearer—crisper. Thousands of players watched as two of the highest-ranked, most sought-after female players in the game clung to Crow like twin shadows.
Rose, her SSS-rank armor shimmering faintly, pressed herself into Crow's side. Her voice was velvet, low and breathy. "Master... please, just a few head pats. I've been so good."
Lyravex, not to be outdone, tilted her head and leaned in closer. Her fingers traced slow, teasing patterns along Crow's chest. "Don't you think we deserve it? Just a little reward from our Master..."
The world chat exploded.
[WorldChat] [NeroBlade92]: …did she just say "master" seductively?!
[WorldChat] [Dreambound]: WHAT AM I WATCHING??
[WorldChat] [LilithSaber]: I thought this was a war game??
[WorldChat] [CursedSaint]: Nah this is a romance VN with boss fights now.
[WorldChat] [GM-Seraph]: …Monitoring.
Crow stood frozen, twitching slightly, overwhelmed. "You two are impossible."
But his hand still moved—first to Rose's head. She purred. Then to Lyravex's. She melted with a pleased sigh.
The world chat imploded again.
