Kaguya-hime trouble? Solve Kaguya-hime abnormal charm/attraction?
The task requirements made Lancer feel a little strange, and why was there a '①' written on the task? Doesn't that mean there are also ②, ③, ④, etc.?
This was the first time Lancer had encountered a situation similar to a chain quest.
As for the so-called 'Favorability', Lancer didn't pay too much attention to it. It should be like in a game, where you increase favorability and can then receive quests, get discounts on goods, and so on, right?
As for a GAL game? Although Lancer also wondered if there would be a similar situation, he finally dismissed it with a laugh. After all, in his impression, his system was very proper and never forced him to do anything. Moreover, according to his deduction, the purpose of 'system quests' was basically to change existing history. No matter how you looked at it, the art style would not turn out like this.
Then, if the favorability is high enough, maybe he can get some treasure?
However, all of this was based on him being able to solve the problem with the other party.
"Miss Kaguya, I apologize for the disturbance late at night, but there is one thing I hope Miss Kaguya can tell me truthfully."
"Finally remembered your purpose? What do you plan to do if this concubine doesn't answer?"
"..."
Facing Kaguya-hime rhetorical question, Lancer just sat up straight and looked directly at the other party without saying a word. The two stood in a standoff in the room for dozens of seconds until Kaguya-hime shook her head helplessly.
"You are truly a stubborn man. This won't make girls like you."
"You don't need to worry about that, Miss Kaguya."
If Lancer imagination of 'Kaguya-hime' before coming here was probably a beautiful adult woman like the moonlight, then after meeting her, his impression changed to a cute-looking girl. As for now?
It has basically become 'a mysterious girl who looks cute but whose true nature does not seem to be so'. As for whether the other party is inwardly dark or naturally black... it's hard to tell in a short time.
And although Lancer had long learned to ignore other people's words and gazes, he was not a masochist. He wouldn't like being constantly mocked either, so he simply pulled the topic back to 'serious business'.
"Miss Kaguya, can you tell me why Fujiwara no Fuhito became so strange after seeing you? And if I'm not mistaken, there should be more than one person in a similar situation as Fujiwara no Fuhito, right?"
At this point, Lancer eyes became sharp. It was clear that he was trying to put some pressure on the other party, but the strange 'sense of crisis' he felt earlier made him not use the 'blood energy' on his body, but simply rely on his gaze to create pressure.
And facing the glaring Lancer, Kaguya-hime appeared extremely calm.
Although the man in front of her was quite strong, he was still far inferior compared to the people she had met before, but the matter the other party mentioned did give her a bit of a headache.
She naturally knew what the 'becoming strange' the other party mentioned was all about.
There was no doubt that she was exiled from the moon to the ground as a punishment for secretly consuming the 'Elixir of Hourai'. If her abilities were not sealed, wouldn't that be letting her go on vacation?
But punishment is not execution. 'Tsukuyomi' (the Moon God) naturally wouldn't let Kaguya suffer a loss, so he gave her this special ability.
Simply put, no one would harbor malice towards her, and kindness would be infinitely magnified.
People who cared about her would love her more, people who admired her would spare no effort, and people who sympathized with her would be unable to help but lend a hand...
Although this ability was indeed very useful at times and could save her a lot of trouble, things turn into their opposite when they reach an extreme. The excessive admiration did indeed make Kaguya Houraisan quite troubled, such as the endless stream of suitors.
But ——————
"I know what you are talking about, but this concubine can't do anything about it. However, please rest assured, before 'leaving', I will not leave this small house..."
Kaguya Houraisan, as a Moon Dweller, had never been to the ground before. Naturally, her understanding of the ground came from books. How were the ground inhabitants recorded in the books?
'Filth'
It was precisely because of the 'filth' of the ground that exile to the ground was considered a very cruel punishment by the Moon Dwellers. And since coming to the ground, she has indeed felt the 'filth' recorded in the books. It could be said that almost everyone, except the two old people who adopted her, had 'desire' in their eyes when they saw her. Therefore, even if she had the chance, she would not leave the two old people who cared for her.
However, Kaguya-hime words made Lancer eyes light up.
"So, you don't actually mind having that ability 'sealed', do you?"
"Now 'it' only brings me endless trouble."
Although she didn't answer directly, the meaning was very clear. Lancer also nodded. Since the person concerned didn't mind, the next steps would be easier.
"It's a bit abrupt, Miss Kaguya, could you show me your hand?"
Kaguya-hime, who covered her mouth with her sleeve at some point, hesitated for a while and then handed her right hand to Lancer.
While looking at the 'System' feedback, he held Kaguya-hime palm and scratched his head in distress.
'It seems it's not simply a 'Charm ability'...'
——————
As the daughter of 'Tsukuyomi', although Kaguya-hime was not respected like her sisters before she was exiled to the human world this time, her status and position were undoubtedly high. This was the first time she had been held by a man like this.
In fact, when Lancer grabbed her hand, she wanted to struggle free immediately, but because her ability was sealed, she couldn't pull her hand out at all.
And more importantly, she felt Lancer was very 'strange'.
From the moment the man, who was with the man named Fujiwara no Fuhito, appeared, his attitude towards her was strange: it was 'vigilance'; then, when the other party appeared in front of her door in armor again, it was an even more intense 'anger'; but then, after she pointed out his thoughts, the other party didn't get angry but instead started to become 'casual'; more crucially, at this moment, holding her fingers, he was looking at her palm with a serious expression, as if only her palm existed in his eyes...
'He is truly a strange man.'
Kaguya Houraisan couldn't help but draw this conclusion.
In the dark night, a strange man and woman were alone in a room. The man was looking at the woman's palm, holding his chin and remaining silent, while the woman was looking at the man's face, also silent.
The entire room was filled with a strange atmosphere...
Time passed gradually. The candle lit in the corner was constantly getting shorter. Just when Kaguya Houraisan almost ignored the uninvited man, the other party suddenly 'moved'.
"Phew~ Finally found it. Shishou gave me too many things..."
'Shishou (Master)?'
The man's strange muttering made Kaguya Houraisan suddenly freeze for a moment.
