Volume 9, Chapter 22: Love You, Hard to Say
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Unfortunately, the third round’s rule was to take the heart-rate value at the sixtieth second.No matter how high the heart rate got in the middle, it wouldn’t count.
But that did prove one thing:
That red-haired queen really was just teasing the kid for fun.
And maybe, while teasing him, she’d end up winding herself into it, too.
No one could say for sure.
At the same time, the third round of couple minigames had already started in the next room.
“The name of this round’s game is— ~Love You, Hard to Say~”
The staff member stood in front of a huge writing board. She pulled off the cloth covering it, revealing the name of this round’s game on the board.
The rules were still very simple. After the game began, the whiteboard would randomly display all kinds of words—nouns and verbs included.
“Please use the other writing board to write the word that appears on the whiteboard. You can only answer through the other person’s hints. During the hinting process, you are not allowed to use any characters contained in the prompt. For every correct answer, the two of you must switch positions and take turns answering. Game time is five minutes. The couple with the most correct answers within five minutes wins~”
Obviously, the third round was testing the tacit understanding between two people.
Every pair present understood that perfectly.
Which meant—
This round was the real married couple’s home field!
Leon and Rosvisser didn’t need to say anything else—just on the point of [Team Voice Chat] alone, they won.
They could turn on [Team Voice Chat] anytime, anywhere.
That alone already completely surpassed the other two teams.
General Leon was already itching to go—he was practically impatient.
“Then which couple wants to go first?” the staff member asked with a smile.
Leon volunteered without hesitation. He took hold of Rosvisser’s wrist and strode up openly.
“We’ll go first. Give those four a little married-couple shock!”
Hearing that, Isha let out a snort of laughter.
“Brother-in-law, don’t talk too big. If you flip the cart later, it’ll be very embarrassing.”
“Just watch, Big Sister. This round is basically tailor-made for me and my wife.”
Isha folded her arms over her chest, smiling without speaking.
On the side, Constantine also doubted Leon’s confidence.
“You and your wife really do coordinate very well when you’re on the battlefield, but that doesn’t mean you’ll coordinate well in this kind of minigame. So we might not lose.”
Unlike Big Sister, Constantine came with a real desire to win, so before the official start, of course he had to throw out two lines of trash talk to disrupt the other side’s mentality.
“I already told you—just wait for the show.”
Leon stopped talking. He and Rosvisser took their places at the [Answer Position] and the [Clue Position].
The first word would be answered by Leon, with Rosvisser giving hints.
“Then we’ll start~”
The staff member knocked on the writing board. The first word immediately appeared:
[Moon]
Rosvisser immediately let out a small “pff,” like she’d been relieved.
The moment Leon saw his wife relax like that, the word had to be easy!
Rosvisser opened her mouth and said:
“One of our twin daughters.”
Leon froze.
“Moon?”
The staff member clapped.
“Correct~ Next~”
Isha, watching from the side, panicked inside.
“So you can play it like this?”
And it wasn’t strange for her to say that. The first question got cracked at light speed by the couple. It really did look like Leon had said—they were extremely in sync.
The husband and wife immediately switched positions, and it was Rosvisser’s turn to answer.
The second word was:
[Aurora]
Leon chuckled.
“Our third’s formal name is?”
Rosvisser raised a brow.
“Xiaoguang?”
“Mhm. And what does that name represent?”
“Dawn?”
“The other one.”
“Aurora!”
Watching the couple guess the word with that kind of seamless coordination, Constantine covered his face and muttered:
“I hate aurora.”
Staff member: “Congratulations, correct again~”
“But you two are so young and you already have three daughters,” the staff member said.
“Actually, counting the adopted daughter, it’s five in total,” Leon said, explaining proudly as he switched positions with Rosvisser again.
The staff member froze.
“F-Five...?”
“Such a... happy family.”
As she spoke, the staff member revealed the third word:
[Sun]
Rosvisser looked at the third word. This one was very simple—she pointed straight at Constantine beside them.
Leon blinked suddenly.
“N-Nothing else?”
“Mhm. Just Constantine.”
Leon tested the waters and said tentatively:
“Uh... beheading?”
“Hey! Is ‘beheading’ really my only first impression with you?!”
Constantine complained in shock.
“And having ‘beheading’ show up in a minigame is way too bloody!”
Rosvisser nearly collapsed laughing.
“Wrong. Think again. Constantine—what did you just obtain recently?”
This time, Leon blurted it out without thinking:
“Sun!”
Third question correct!
In the next few minutes, the couple went completely all-out. Almost every question only needed one or two hints before the answer came out instantly.
It even made Isha and the others develop a full-on illusion—not that it was their answering speed, but that strange... eerie tacit understanding between them.
Because Isha’s side could see the word appearing on the board, the group quietly came up with their own hint ideas as a pre-match warmup.
For the first few questions—words like “sun” and “moon” that were relatively simple—Isha and the others also had their own answers.
But the farther it went, as the difficulty rose, the words became more and more obscure, even more and more tricky.
And under those conditions, the couple still managed to answer by relying on all kinds of wildly varied hints that made absolutely no sense to anyone else.
For an example:
If the prompt was [Cherry Blossom Tree]
Normally, Isha would first hint, “A kind of plant. Pink, something like that.”
But Leon’s hint was actually, “Look at your Silver Dragon Sanctuary.”
Not only Isha—Constantine, Orion, and Catherine beside her were all stunned.
What connection was there between [Cherry Blossom Tree] and [Look at your Silver Dragon Sanctuary]?
Yet Rosvisser guessed it correctly in one shot!
That was the eerie part of their compatibility!
Too eerie!
In the end, the real married couple team answered a total of forty-seven questions correctly within five minutes.
According to the staff, this was already the highest correct-answer record since they started running this couple challenge.
The couple looked pleased with themselves. Leon even remembered to put on a little show.
“So? Scared now? It’s fine~ Fearing true love is normal~”
Isha snorted with a smile.
“Before tonight, you’d better tell me—exactly how a cherry blossom tree is related to Rosvisser’s Silver Dragon Sanctuary.”
Leon’s steps halted, and the smug grin on his face froze instantly.
But he adjusted right away and said with a cheerful grin:
“Secret. It’s a secret.”
Isha smiled and didn’t press further. She led Kaizer up.
“We’ll be the second group. Ready, Kaizer?”
Kaizer stood nervously at the [Clue Position]. After adjusting his mindset, he nodded.
“Ready, Miss Isha.”
“OK, then we’ll start.”
The staff member revealed the first word:
[Wood]
Kaizer’s face showed no expression. His thoughts shifted slightly, then he raised a hand and pointed at himself.
Seeing that, Leon smiled knowingly from the side and lowered his voice to Rosvisser.
“It’s good that he knows he’s wood. That means the kid still has hope.”
Rosvisser curled her lips in a quiet laugh and kept watching them answer.
Isha tilted her head.
“Pointing at yourself... then I guess... puppy?”
“Not puppy!”
Kaizer immediately refuted her.
But what answered him was Isha’s laughter.
She knew “puppy” wasn’t the correct answer, but who told Kaizer to point at himself?
Then she was going to tease the little puppy along with it.
“Alright, alright. Time to be serious.”
Isha put away her smile and waited for another hint.
Kaizer scratched his forehead, troubled, and swept his gaze over everyone in the room.
In the end, it landed on Constantine.
“So it’s Constantine again? This time it won’t be beheading or something, right...”
Constantine didn’t speak, only sank into silence.
“What common point is there between Kaizer and Constantine...”
Isha hummed. After a moment, her eyes lit up.
“Oh~ I know. You two are both straight men like wooden stakes—just like... wood.”
First question correct!
They switched positions, and it was Kaizer’s turn to answer.
The second prompt was:
[Captive]
“Hey, hey, hey—this is kind of targeted, isn’t it?!”
Leon pointed at the word on the board and teased with a laugh.
“Why didn’t my wife and I get questions this simple?”
The staff member froze, flipped through the word list in her hands, confirmed that [Captive] was classified as mid-to-high difficulty, then explained:
“Sorry, sir. This question is actually pretty hard.”
Leon smiled, then looked at Isha with a watching-the-show expression, wanting to see what kind of hint Big Sister would give.
Isha thought for a moment, then said:
“When we first met, what did I become—and what was I to you?”
Kaizer raised a brow.
“Hostage?”
“No. Close.”
“Captive.”
Isha spread her hands: Easy!
Staff member: What kind of weird people are you?! A captive on your first meeting?!
Leon & Rosvisser: Melkvey love is magical, right?
