Chapter 197 Family Vacation (Part III)



"Do games appeal to you? Recently we added a game center. You can try out many of the themes there."

Games? I wonder what kind of games there were. I could see Courtney interested when the word games were mentioned. Since she was interested, we could check it out.

"Lead the way."

Following the lead of our guide, Courtney\'s anticipations had risen. The game center was different than I expected, and Courtney\'s disappointment was immeasurable.

Instead of being an electronic game, it was more of a physical activity. Unless it were sex, Courtney wouldn\'t enjoy it.

"Charles... This wasn\'t what I expected it to be..."

"Don\'t be so pessimistic, I\'m sure there\'s something for you to enjoy in here."

"Master\'s right. Don\'t be too sad."

Rose tried to join in and cheer Courtney up. As for the guide, she felt terrible for disappointing one of her customers. All she could do was hope that none of us would complain, which we won\'t.

"Let\'s look around."

Upon entering, this was more like a carnival than a game center from an arcade. Nene ran off once something interesting had been shown to her eyes. We followed Nene, making sure she won\'t get lost.

"Really??? What\'s so interesting about this?.."

Reina complained when finding Nene\'s pick of choice. What was in front of us was a fishing game. Looking at the water, I could see some fish monsters swimming swimmingly.

"Interested, eh? How about it? Why don\'t you give it a try?"

Seeing that Nene was interested, the person working on the game urged Nene to try out their game.

"Master~! Can I try~?"

"Go ahead. Anyone else want to try?"

I asked anyone in the group if they wanted to try. Since Nene wanted to have a go, Reina decided to come up with her. And surprisingly, Constance also decided to give it a try.

"Let me explain the rules before you play. These guns shoot nets and are used to catch these fish. The larger fish you catch, the more significant the prize. Just a heads up, these fishes are quiet nimble. Be warned, you each have five shots each."

"Before you play, could you wear these? To make the game fair, no skills could be used."

To prevent cheating, the people here took safety measures. These artifacts used to seal skills are too dangerous for me. I prefer if these bracelets were kept away from me.

With the three of them having five shots, each had to make their shots worthwhile. Nene was the first one to take her shot which had missed. Everyone was surprised to see how quickly the fishes were on the water. It wouldn\'t be surprising if these fishes were trained to do this.

"Charles could I try?"

Courtney, who watched, wanted to get her hands on the net gun. The only one left out was Rose, which I had also had her try. The businessman grinned, knowing he got these girls sucked into these games.

Since these girls were having fun on their own, it was time for me to do my job. My monsters that had been dispatched were all gone. I had razed most of the cities, but most of them were still alive.

Instead of monsters, I created a pandemic. Spreading a disease to each person in each country should do its work. If I can\'t beat the people in a destructive battle, I might as well do it the sneaky way.

Of course, I made the disease extremely contagious and would spread from any close contact they may have encountered.

The disease would barely have any effects but would be explosive once it spreads far and wide. I would ramp up the power to a hundred making the people of this world killed.

With that out of the way, I continued to look back at the girls. With most of them using their shot, none of the fish they aimed for were caught.

Watching it, you could tell it was impossible to do this alone. I don\'t see a way to catch them unless you can pinpoint their movement.

Nene shooting her last shot missed and was disappointed, followed by the shot Reina, who went for the same shot but was close. Then Constance, who was the fastest to react, figured it how and caught the first fish.

In the end, only Constance got two of the captured fish. Out of everyone here, she had the best reaction speed due to her battle prowess.

"With these two fishes, these are the prizes you can take. You can take two smaller prizes or one large prize."

Looking at all of the things she could obtain, many random items could be found, from upgrade capsules to artifacts of many items.

"Could you tell us what these prizes do?"

Before Constance could pick, I asked the game owner to explain the prizes. He complied since he knew we had a VIP pass with me.

Having to explain everything, Constance knew what she wanted. An artifact that boosted holy-type skills.

[Third Person POV]

"See, it\'s not so bad. Even if they look distracted, Charles is doing fine work."

Linsey spoke without much concern. Spies planted in Merabell were giving complete reports of what was happening worldwide.

With the information given, the spies knew what Charles was capable of. When dangerous monsters appear out of nowhere, they are given a teleportation artifact to hide in a different location.

"Even so, to be playing around at a time like this."

"You know that Charles doesn\'t care about the war. The only reason why he\'s here was that he would be involved either way."

It was rare to see Linsey lecture Agnus. Because of his strict yet calm attitude, Agnus rarely gets this treatment.

Agnus prefers efficiency in cases like these, and Charles was far from it. With how disadvantaged they were, he needed Charles to end this war. After all, starting from scratch in the lower-ranking world was a pain in the ass.
