Chapter 96: I will become sweeter and you will become crueler

Led by Cerberus, Michu and Kaiser fought against monsters on the island.

Those were nothing more, but just a hurdle to stop them for a while. Monsters were also used for other classes, but in the current Regional Tournament, Kaiser was the only one who could use them.

The three-headed puppy howled when it stopped Venomous.

Its howl was dangerous and threatening, but after Venomous' eyes landed on it, Cerberus lost its prestige and turned into a meek puppy that cutely sought forgiveness from the master!

Kaiser's eyes nearly burst out from the shock, but he believed that his Cerberus would go all out if he were to give an order!

And this puppy needed a lot of experience too!

In the future, it would be four meters tall monsters who would trample on all his enemies!

Kaiser thought! No, he desperately believed in such a future!

"Michu..." Venomous ignored The Black Magician, extended her hands and cuddled with her boyfriend on the big screen! "I lost against Zerze."

Yumi shared what happened and told her beloved about Zerze's title.

This man was unyielding and his title was cheating!

It goes without saying that this battle was unfair, but was Michu to fight against someone with an item from Monkey God's Home, Michu also would have an advantage over it. 

It was just that simple...

If his girlfriend had her potions and other skills to close the gap, then the future might've been different. But those were just theories that were pointless right now!

Michu hugged his girlfriend back, his heart loudly thumping!

It was a feeling he had never felt before, but he really wanted to beat Zerze! It wasn't just 'beating', but he wanted his staff to take back everything from him for his beloved!

Michu's face turned serious and distorted with countless thoughts that shoved everything he had been thinking about Zerze to the side.

At the same time, Venomous felt her heart beating faster too! "If this loss made my prince look like that, I can only say it's worth it." Her pain was further appeased and she leaned onto his shoulder.

On the other side, Kaiser and Cerberus were looking at them with different feelings inside.

The Black Magician nearly puked rainbows while Cerberus' all six eyes were shining with stars as if this romance had sown something within its heart!

"I want to speak with Venomous alone. I will also explain our situation," Michu turned to Kaiser and requested some privacy.

It was all fine, but Kaiser's Cerberus nodded before his master could utter a word and its three jaws pulled his leg behind!

"Cerberus!" Kaiser was too shocked by that betrayal, so he went to train his puppy again!

-

Before Michu explained the fraud in the Regional Tournament, he had to explain his own heart to Venomous.

He had been too bothered about something lately.

Venomous looked at him with wide eyes as Michu hadn't shown anything of such lately at all!

She listened carefully.

"It's about Zerze... I was too bothered about his situation... If he doesn't win this tournament, then his guild might not help his sister... I was too shocked when I heard about it," Michu began the story.

What KongFu heard was shared with Yumi in a cave, so that no viewer could listen to their talk! It was a private story, but Michu needed to share it! Besides, many people were looking at Kaiser and how he trained his Cerberus.

It was one of those shows you couldn't miss.

Back to Michu's story, "So I again did it... I put myself in Zerze's situation... and my heart ached." As Michu imagined himself in Zerze's situation, he nearly burst out crying first! The thought that Nana's life depended on his results frightened him.

It was just imagination, but Michu couldn't have imagined himself as Zerze. He wouldn't be able to drink beer, to go around the quests as easily as him.

Maybe if this was reality, Michu would be different, but that couldn't be confirmed.

He just looked at Yumi with apologetic eyes, "I knew I wouldn't be able to go against him... Even if this tournament was important for us." But those eyes soon lit up, "But after he stole your skill from you... I really want to beat him and make him lose."

Yumi felt like that was enough. 

It felt like those feelings were enough, but she also wanted her prince to beat Zerze, "You are too sweet, Michu." Yumi looked at him, then nestled in his embrace.

She carried on after Michu's arms wrapped around her. It was far easier to lie in this cave and be all cuddly!

Of course, the hug was pleasant and lovely, but what Yumi said was the opposite, "I can cope with the loss of my skill because I had taken away things from others too. Michu, do you know what happened to Big K?"

"He can't play the game because he barks like a dog... And his friends didn't want to play with him either... I think his girlfriend also... went to another man," Michu rattled off.

"True... But I also did more... His real-life will be a big mess for a while," Yumi stressed out 'Big' as if Big K foreshadowed himself with his nickname, then explained a little.

The shock was too little to describe Michu's thumping heart.

Venomous caressed his cheek while saying, "I am cruel... You are too sweet... We both have to change... I will become sweeter and my prince will become a little cruel. How about it?"

Her hot breath and beautiful smile were already sweet, but Michu knew what she meant. This was still too hard for him, but the realization struck him.

Why did he put himself in such a weird situation? A situation where he would hurt himself and his close ones for the sake of people he didn't even know?

Yumi just lost and she needed better rewards for this tournament!

Michu also wanted his chosen reward!

Why did he even think of loss?

"You are worried that you will make too many enemies, Michu," Yumi suddenly said, "No, I said it wrong... You are worried that your actions will return and bite you back... When I told you about my goal, you were worried about other people's jobs. You also put yourself in Zerze's shoes and imagined nonsense."

"Nonsense?" Michu was slightly taken aback.

"It wouldn't be just you working to save Nana. I would be by your side. As for other people... People are losing jobs each second. The guilds and companies fall daily... It can happen to anyone regardless of their lifestyle... Recently, wasn't there a church whose seminary had conflagration? Hmm?" Yumi went out with her mental support.

And Michu was looking at her blankly.

"I have fallen in love with you because of you, not your class or anything else." Yumi stood up and said, "So, I won't let you go and continue to suck on those lips. There is one thing you will never lose and that is me."

She patted the dirt off her clothes, fixed her hair and added, "Regardless of your choice, I will support you. Though I have been mostly mental support, weren't I?" A smile spread on her face, "Soon, we will be equals in the game; strength-wise."

"Yumi... You are so strong..." Michu answered faintly, then also stood up, "And you are more than just support... You are my other half! Hehe!"

The monke clenched his new staff and swore, "I will challenge Zerze... and defeat him! I will fight for us... Everyone is the enemy we will take down!"

"Even that Kaiser?" Yumi sneered.

"He is my rival! He will be last to fight me!" Michu laughed and both of them left the cage.

"It has nothing to do with me," Yumi replied, "I can sneakily kill him from behind and his puppy will even bark to cheer me up."

Both Yumi and Michu halted.

It was because the puppy was a little disappointed.

"What are you barking for?! If I say someone is an enemy, then this someone is an enemy! What the fuck you don't understand?! Don't you want your favorite meat?!" Kaiser roared with meat shaking in his hand.

Cerberus turned his eyes to the side and barked with disappointment.

If Kaiser could understand his language, then he would understand, "You don't know how to make friends, Master."

"Cerberus! Stop barking!"

Michu turned his eyes to Venomous, "Is that how you train a dog?"

"Using snacks is one of the ways. It should work on intelligent dogs too, but this one looks too much disappointed in its master," She replied and laughed out loud.

Michu felt like that was the case!

He also felt like Yumi's loss weighed less on her heart and there was something more unique than just enmity between her and Zerze.

Nonetheless, he would fight him in this tournament regardless of any event!

And everyone else would become his enemies for the points and rewards!

Everyone here had signed to become enemies with each other.

Other from the different region also invaded for their own gain!

Thus, Michu would also be just as cruel and just move for his gain!

Michu suddenly turned his eyes to Venomous, "Yumi... Don't you think it would be weird for Zerze's guild to give up on him if he failed? He is so strong that he even beat you, so even if he failed, I think it would be wise of them to help his sister and make him sign a long contract so that he could repay through the game! We are so early in the game, right? There are a lot more tournaments too..."

Michu said, then he spotted a very sweet and proud smile on Venomous' face.

"Eh, you knew about it?" Michu caressed his chin, "You knew!"

"We had more important things to speak off," Yumi shrugged, "I would rather say how much I love you than speak of another man."

"...Cruel."

"But sweet."

"..."

Could the monke be cruel? He felt like he could, considering how sweet his girlfriend was! But what she did to Big K was a little too much for Michu so he told her to not be that cruel anymore!

It was part of their promise, "You will be sweeter!"

"Yes, I will," Yumi laughed.

She then wrapped her arms around the monke, jumped onto him and cuddled as he held her legs. "You will be crueler too," She requested, then kissed all over!

Kaiser felt like he would puke a rainbow for real, this time!

Cerberus nearly bit his legs after his quiet comments!
