Book 6: Chapter 65:1: The Drama Queen, Root Shiki, Part 1

Eresh-chan had never encountered a guy like Chen Heng beforeshameless, brazen, and overly familiar upon first meeting. When Chen Heng addressed her as Eresh-chan, her face flushed bright red, leaving her feeling somewhat flustered.

In Japanese, chan is an affectionate term used between close friends, usually reserved for younger individuals or very familiar peers. It is just like the use of little appended to the name of someone close to you in Chinese.

But even without the use of chan, being nicknamed Eresh alone was enough to disconcert Ereshkigal.

Seeing Eresh-chan growing visibly uncomfortable, Chen Heng decided to spare her from further embarrassment. He didnt want to provoke her to the point where she might shoot him; even though he wouldnt get hurt, gunfire tended to attract other players.

Elder Brother, are you flirting with other girls in front of your younger sister? Chen Heng let Eresh-chan off the hook, but someone else wasnt so forgiving. Root, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, pointed the AK she held at Chen Heng.

[TL Note: The AK referred to here likely refers to the AKM, which is an improved version of the AK-47. Here is more information on the AKM: /wiki/AKM. Heres the Wikipedia entry for the AK-47: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-47.]

All seven Servants on the same team for this competition were immune to friendly fire, so Chen Heng wasnt worried about Root shooting him.

Dont. Please dont call me Elder Brother. I cant handle that. Chen Heng took a couple of steps back, distancing himself from Root.

Oh! So, now you dont want your younger sister anymore? You scumbag! When you need your younger sister, I work hard for you, but now that youve set your eyes on another girl, you dont want me? Fine, lets go down together. Root, still looking like Ryougi Shiki, took out a grenade, clearly hinting at mutual annihilation.

No, wait, lets calm down and talk, alright? Dont you clearly know the relationship between us? Upon seeing Root produce the grenade, Chen Heng immediately took cover behind a wall. It was a precaution in case she decided to pull the pin in a moment of madness. It would minimize the damage; at least he wouldnt be killed.

ElderElder Brother, do you really not acknowledge me anymore? Dont you remember that summer by the lake? Ryougi Shiki used her right sleeve to wipe the tears that she had just cried, but she still held the grenade in her left hand.

Putting aside the drama, it was impressive how Root could pull off such a convincing act. To outsiders, Chen Heng looked like a heartless scoundrel; furthermore, it looked like he got involved with his younger sister.

In that case, how about we head to the dormitory building?

Yes, that works. Jeanne dArc observed the map and nodded in agreement with Chen Hengs suggestion.

Jeanne dArc in serious mode looks pretty cool, Chen Heng suddenly blurted out.

Sh-shut up! Jeanne dArc blushed, then reached behind her waist and threw a frying pan at Chen Heng.

Ah! Jeanne dArc, youre blushing.

This time, Jeanne dArc didnt say anything. Instead, she pulled out a grenade and removed the safety pin.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Jeanne dArc, dont mess around. I was wrong. Chen Heng hadnt expected Jeanne dArc to be so mischievous, pulling a grenade out of nowhere. Where did she learn this from?

Jeanne dArc saw Chen Hengs apologetic expression and canceled her throw.

After all, a game was just a game. Even if it was a live hand grenade about to explode, one could cancel the throw. In the real world, that would be impossible.

Hey! Hey! You two, save the flirting for later. I hear a car. While Jeanne dArc is passionately interacting with Chen Heng, and Ryougi Shiki is trying to get closer to Eresh, IMedusaam the only one diligently observing the surroundings through the front and back windows.

Flirting? Whos flirting?

Tsundere destroys lives, Medusa commented, glancing at Jeanne dArc.
