(At the arcade)
Keima and Yuki scanned the whole room with a smile on their faces.
Ren approached them and said,
"Here are your tokens! Both of you will receive a hundred of them."
Ren gave Keima and Yuki a bag full of tokens, each.
"Have fun playing you two!"
"Wait, you're not playing with us?" asked Yuki.
"No. Sorry. I have some important things to do back at the mansion. I'll come back to pick you up later."
"You're the one who invited us and now you're the one who will back out." said Keima.
"Hehehe...sorry. Well, have fun!"
Ren and his butler went outside and left with the limousine.
"Well...we better get playing. I don't want to waste these tokens." -Yuki
"Hey, why don't we test our gaming skills right now? I want to know how good you really are."
"Heh. Why not?" answered Yuki.
Yuki went to an arcade machine with the title "Tekken" on top of it, while Keima went to the opposite side of the machine with the same title. Both of the gamers inserted a token on the coins slot.
"The one who will get the highest points, wins." said Yuki.
"Instead of that, why don't we just fight against each other?"
"Oh. Yeah. Let's do that."
=In the screen=
"Select your character"
=Back to Reality=
"Which one will you choose?" asked Yuki.
"...I don't know. I'll just ramdomly pick one I guess."
"Just admit that you don't know how to play this game."
"No...Nachihara-san. I've already mastered each of the characters here at this game. It's just that I don't know which one I should pick that is appropriate enough to fight you."
"As expected from the God of Conquest. I will also pick my character, ramdomly."
=In the screen=
"Ready? Fight!"
=Back to Reality=
Lots of sounds like "Hiya!" and "Haa!" can be heard from the two machines, Yuki and Keima are using. The gamers are tapping the buttons like no one's bussiness. Judging from the look of the gamers faces, you know they CANNOT be bothered.
=In the screen=
"Time's Up! Draw!"
=Back to reality=
The gamers looked at each other's faces and smiled.
"Heh. Not bad, Katsuragi. Not bad." -Yuki
"You're not so bad yourself, Nachihara-san."
"Ready for another round?" asked Yuki
Yuki inserted a token on to the coins slot.
"Why not?" -Keima
Keima also inserted a token on the coins slot.
Sounds, like the one before, can be heard coming from the machines the gamers are using.
(30 minutes later)
People inside the arcade are all attracted to the competition of the God and the Goddess. There is a side cheering for Keima and another side cheering for Yuki.
"Wow! A girl gamer? Marry me!!! Pleaseeeee?" a boy in his teen age shouted.
"The man with the glasses is sure to win!" another boy shouted.
Yuki and Keima are now breathing and sweating heavily from playing non-stop since the time they started playing.
=In the screen=
"Times Up! Draw!"
=Back to reality=
The crowd begin to shout. Yuki and Keima stared at each other, still breathing heavily.
"Awesome!!! 99 draws? How can that be?!" a boy from the crowd shouted.
"C'mon megane! (Note: Megane= a person who wears glasses) Finish it!" another teenage boy shouted.
"Does this game even have an end?" Yuki asked Keima.
"Let's find out with our last tokken."
Keima inserted another token in the coins slot.
"Heh."
Yuki also inserted another token.
"This time, the one who can get the highest score, wins. How about it?" asked Keima
Yuki cracked her knuckles and smiled towards Keima.
"Let's do this!" Yuki replied, energetically.
"That's what I like to hear." -Keima
=In the screen=
"Ready? Fight!"
=Back to Reality=
(Another 30 minutes have passed)
=In Keima's screen=
"Score: 9,867,475"
=In Yuki's screen=
"Score:9,867,476"
"I win." -Yuki
Keima looked at Yuki's screen, suprised.
The crowd shouted again and begin to scatter around the arcade.
"What?! 1 point? Just 1 point? That doesn't count!!!" -Keima
"Hehehe! But still, I got higher points than you!" said Yuki
"Noooo! I demand a rematch!"
"We don't have anymore token, do we?" Yuki said, teasing Keima.
"Grrrr..." -Keima.
"Hahahaha!"
Keima watched Yuki while she's laughing and smiled.
The gamers went outside the arcade then suddenly, a group of teenagers surrounded Keima and Yuki.
"Hey! You're the girl gamer the nerds are talking about, aren't you?" -one of the boy in the group said.
"Yeah! She is! Wow, you look kinda hot, face to face. Want to have dinner with us?"
"Sorry. Im not interested in real guys. Now will you please excuse me?"
Yuki tried to escape from the circle the strangers formed, but failed. A boy grabbed her arm and said.
"Come on! Will treat you! Don't you want to have fun?"
"No. And, what kind of "fun" will I get by hanging out with you fools?"
"Why you-"
The guy holding Yuki attempted to slap her but Keima blocked the hit and said,
"Don't you mess with her."
"Heh. What can you do to me, huh nerd?"
Keima fixed his glasses and looked sharply at the guy.
"You don't want know."
"This a****** is making me really pissed off! Get him!"
The other guys started to hold Keima from his back and one guy is preparing to punch him.
"No! Don't hurt him!" -shouted Yuki
One guy started punching Keima in his stomach and another punch in his face.
"Ugh! *huff* *huff*" -Keima
"Katsuragi!" -Yuki
Blood started to flow from the side of Keima's lips. The guy continued to punch him. Keima fell onto the ground and the guy holding Yuki said,
"Heh! You see nerd, you're the one who should not mess with us!"
Keima is now breathing heavily and stared at the guy's face.
"Physical injury is nothing to me, mortal. Even the reality doesn't matter since I have my own world..." Keima said arrogantly while smiling.
The guy started to get angry and said,
"What kind of s*** are you talking about?"
The guy attempted to kick Keima but then, Ren's butler arrived and blocked the hit. The butler twisted his leg and the guy shouted in pain. The two other guys attempted to attack the butler but then, Ren block their hit and punched the two guys himself. The two guys ran while assisting the one who got his leg twisted by the butler.
Yuki went to Keima's aid and said,
"Katsuragi?! Are you still alive?"
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about, Nachihara-san? I'm a God, dammit!"
"You're badly hurt, Keima-kun. Let me take you to the hospital." -Ren
Keima slowly stood up and said to Ren,
"No need."
"A-are you sure you're ok?" - Yuki
"Yeah. I'm fine."
"Let me just put a band aid in your wounds." -Yuki
Keima didn't respond.
Yuki took a band aid from her bag and put it to the wounds the guys inflicted to Keima.
"You got hurt because of me, right? You shouldn't have save me."
Keima looked at Yuki's eyes and said,
"Then, you suggest that I should just let myself watch you getting hit on? I don't think so."
Yuki didn't respond.
"Alright. Let's get you two home!"
Keima and Yuki both looked at Ren, angrily.
"W-what did I do?" -Ren
"You let ourselves alone in the arcade! This won't happen if it wasn't for you!" -Keima said with anger.
"Bu-but...didn't you enjoy yourselves?" -Ren said, with a small voice.
Yuki exhaled and said,
"Thank you, Nakayama."
Ren and Keima looked towards Yuki.
"Eh?" -Ren
"Thank you for inviting me and for giving me those tokens. I really appreciate it. You're right. I enjoyed the time I was in there. I also must admit that you were pretty cool fighting like that, a moment ago."
" *sniff* Yu-yuki-chan!!!"
Ren ran towards Yuki and hugged her.
Keima looked kind of annoyed to Ren.
"This is why I love you, Yuki-chan!"
"E-ehhh?!" Yuki started blushing.
Ren let goes of Yuki from his hug and attempted to kiss her, but Keima blocked it by holding Ren's head.
"Don't you dare." -Keima.
"Awww...are you jealous? Keima-kun?"
"Why would I be jealous? I just don't want to see you two getting all lovey-dovey with each other."
"He-hey! What do you mean about getting lovey-dovey?" -Yuki
"That's what being jealous means, keima-kun." Ren said to Keima.
"Nahhh... I ain't jealous."
"Pfffttt...don't deny it anymore, Keima-kun." Ren teased.
"Whatever."
Keima started to walk but then Ren said,
"Are you trying to get back home, in foot, Keima-kun?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"Oh, nothing. Just remember that it's really pitch black out there and you're on your own."
"Nachihara-san is with me."
"Nope." -Yuki.
Keima turned his head and said,
"What?!"
Yuki, Ren and his butler went inside Ren's limousine and it started moving.
"He-hey! Wait!" Keima said while trying to catch up with the car.
(In Yuki's house)
Yuki, Keima and Yuki's sister was eating dinner...
"Hey. Katsuragi?" -Yuki
"Yeah?"
"How many progresses do we need to conquer a person?"
Keima finished his meal and looked at Yuki.
"For normal people, 3 progresses should be enough."
"What do you mean by normal people?"
Yuki also finished her meal. Keima looked at Yuki's sister and said,
"Nee-san, we'll be in the living room alright?"
"Sure."
Yuki and Keima wen to the living room and sat in the sofa.
"So, Katsuragi, You were telling?"
"What I mean about normal people is that they are the people who believe in reality. Not like us, who believes that life is games."
"So... if I try to conquer you, the God of Conquest, how many progresses do I need then?"
Keima paused a while and then said,
"5 should be enough."
"Is that so...? Then, how can you be so sure that you only need 3 progresses to conquer a normal person?"
"I already conquered real girls before, right? So, I should know it by now. Let me give you an example. Kusunoki Kasuga, a girl I have conquered. There are a few steps that I need to do before conquering her. First, since she is a captain of the martial arts club, I forced her to let me be her student, so I can get close to her. The second thing that I did is that I investigated some things about her. She is manly and tough to everyone but, she also has a cute and feminine side, that she doesn't show to anyone. That gave me a chance to higher her affection level. The last thing I did is that I had a date with her, because she wanted to get rid of her feminine side and wants me to help her. Believe me or not, she even fought physically with the feminine side of hers!"
"Oh...."
"Yeah...Ah! Wait! Nachihara-san! I nearly forgot about the pro-"
"Have you been inlove with the girls you conquered before?" -Yuki said, interrupting Keima.
Keima paused and looked at Yuki's serious face...
To be Continued
Author's note: Sorry to keep you waiting! I got busy this month and got a little lazy to update the story. Ehehehe! Anyway, it's going to get pretty serious now. Yuki and Keima will now focus about their bet. What do you guys think about Ren, who left the conquerors in the arcade? What kind of "important things" did he do at the mansion?
Who do you think will win? Is it the God or the Goddess?
