Hikaru took out the ax, then slashed it towards Laylah's leg.
"Ack!" Laylah immediately jumped to the side, then yelled, "What the hell are you doing?"
"That's the question I wanted to ask you. I should lick your feet? What the hell are you talking about?"
"Do you know that a lot of men want to lick my feet?"
"Your feet stinks like 1,000 year old cheese, do you think I will lick it?"
"What?! When did you perceive that my feet smells like 1,000-year-old cheese?" Laylah got angry, and swung her shoe towards Hikaru.
He quickly dodged it as if the shoe was something.
"AAA!! Why are you avoiding it?"
"Are you crazy? Why are you throwing trash around like that?"
"Trash? It's not trash!!!"
"If it's not trash, what the hell is it?"
"I thought you liked it!"
"I am not a madman. Don't say nonsense."
Laylah was angry, she pouted her lips and crossed her arms over her chest like a sulking little girl.
"Do you think that will make you cuter?" Hikaru said scornfully, "Sorry, I have no need to take care of a little girl."
"So..." Laylah suddenly smirked, she unbuttoned a button of her shirt, revealing a portion of her snow-white mountains and a trench like a bottomless pit.
"Do you want to experience a bit of 'adult joy'?" Layla said while licking her lips, and showing a very seductive expression.
Hikaru frowned, he immediately approached her and held her waist with one hand, while he lifted her chin with the other.
Laylah was startled by Hikaru's actions, she thought he would be embarrassed and leave.
But... she didn't understand why her heart was beating a little fast and why she was looking forward to what was about to happen.
"So... let's get some benefits before we start cooperating."
"Wait... you... um..." Laylah rolled her eyes, she didn't think that Hikaru would take the initiative to kiss her.
Laylah wanted to push Hikaru away but she didn't. Her hands that were placed on his chest only exerted a little force, it was as if she was afraid that if she exerted more force, Hikaru would be pushed away.
As their lips touched, Laylah's eyes which were wide open at first, suddenly closed and she was enthralled by the kiss.
The feeling of suddenly being kissed by Hikaru, made Laylah's heart beat faster. It was as if she had just taken a potent stimulant.
After a moment, Laylah actively indulged in the kiss. She parted her lips, stretched out her tongue, and began to search for his.
Sensing Laylah's tongue trying to get into his mouth, Hikaru didn't feel surprised at all. What she was doing was similar to what he had thought.
Laylah is a Masochist.
Same as yesterday's system announcement. Laylah being happy when she was ordered by him amused him.
Hikaru started thinking a lot about this.
How could such a small detail net him luck points?
Which means that it's not just her personality, it's a key to keeping Laylah.
It seemed that Hikaru was right, he actually realized that there was yet another method by which he could get hold of this woman.
Suddenly, Laylah wrapped her arms around his neck, then hugged his head tightly.
With Laylah's immense strength and the distance between the two of them, it was normal for a fist from her to pierce his stomach.
However, that said, Laylah didn't want to hurt him either.
Hikaru felt extremely happy. Not because he was able to kiss Laylah just now, but because he was able to bully her, as of now he would no longer be played around like a puppet.
'Laylah... maybe you're very smart, I'm not as smart as you, but I have godly vision. At least, I can still make you act according to my will.'
"Okay, I will help you destroy this place..."
"Wait!" Hikaru suddenly interrupted Laylah's words, he pointed to the giant cylinder in the middle of the room and asked, "Do you know what that is?"
"That thing?" Laylah frowned at the cylinder in the middle of the room and said, "I don't know, I've never been to this room before."
"Well then, you can use that."
"Hm? You mean... that thing is for me?"
Hikaru shrugged his shoulders: "Not really, anyone can use that stone. However, if you use it, you can make full use of it."
Laylah heard that and frowned at Hikaru: "What's the use of that stone?"
"You don't trust me?" Hikaru shrugged: "Well then, you can destroy this place, I have nothing more to say to you."
"Wait!" Laylah suddenly said: "That stone is dangerous and even a fool can see that. What do you think its effect is?"
"It's like a high grade energy crystal. If you use it, you can awaken new superpowers or greatly increase your current strength." Hikaru said.
Laylah looked at him, then back at the stone, then she frowned in thought for a long moment.
She smiled, her smile filled with mystery as she said: "So... if it's such a wonderful thing why don't you use it."
"The reason is simple." Hikaru said with a smile, "If I use it, there's an 80% chance that I'll die or turn into a monster. The remaining 20% is that I can possess some kind of superpower."
"However, even if I gain superpowers thanks to that stone, the effect will only be 1/10 compared to if you make use of it."
"Don't ask why, that's the setting of this world, understand?"
Laylah stared at Hikaru, after a while she suddenly asked, "Can I trust you?"
"Of course, even though we are set up differently and have different missions in this world. However, our aim is the same now."
"I need you to change your fate and continue to exist, and you need me to change yours."
"Laylah, you and I have now embarked on a path with no return. Even if you turn your head, there's only an abyss behind you."
"That's why I don't need to deceive you. After all, you are a good partner to cooperate with."
"You have great strength, high potential, and moreover, you are a beautiful girl. I also don't want to be accompanied by a man with sweaty muscles."
Hikaru said this while shrugging his shoulders, his face extremely calm and confident.
However, what he said was not necessarily the truth.
In the past, he had learned from his seniors that the most reliable lie was when there were 80% truths and 20% lies.
In fact, he didn't want to cooperate with Laylah either, it was all coincidental.
That's right, Laylah approached him first. She also used her own reasoning abilities to deduce the truth about him.
At first, he also didn't want to deal with Laylah, as she was too smart, and she was also a main character.
However, every person, even a god, has weaknesses. Laylah is a main character, but she also has a weakness.
Before, he thought Laylah was a perfect protagonist, without any weaknesses.
However, it is different now.
Suddenly, a notice appeared in front of Hikaru.
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully gaining Laylah's trust. Currently, Laylah is in the process of changing, and becoming an ally of the villain.]
