Rebirth Of The Tree Fujoshi

As if knowing we were talking about him, Cold-kun shows up out of thin air. Nars also notices him and exclaims in a pitiful voice,"Aren't you too cruel, Cold-kun."

Incited by what I assume is the nickname, Cold-kun throws a magic infused dagger at Nars. The dagger sweeps past him as Nars easily dodges it,"Little fairy, isn't Cold-kun being too mean?"

Before I get wrapped in this dangerous situation, I change the subject,"Did you find the flag?"...to an equally dangerous topic.

"Cold-kun placidly stares at me, sees the flag I'm holding, and congratulated me in his own way,"Good job." He pats me on the head...

Am I a dog? ...head pats do feel nice though...

Does this mean I won?

Ah, I ended up not actually knowing where Cold-kun hid the flag,"By the way, where did you end up hiding this flag."

They look at me with confused expression. Ah, I didn't cheat, I swear.

After explaining my revolutionary process, Nars and Cold-kun look at me with surprise and a hint of admiration. Does this mean I've got them on my side? Can I finally beat down that Manbun?

"Continue." He stands to the side silently. Why is he hereeeee?! I can't, this atmosphere is too stiff.

I try to carry on with the conversation, pretending Manbun isn't there,"S-so? The flag?"

"I hid it in the forest on the southwest side." He answers, slightly stiff.

Hmm, I see, I was on the northwest side, so it makes sense that I wasn't able to find it in the area.

"And your flag?" Cold-kun returns the question.

"T-that's..." How am I supposed to answer it when the hiding place is standing next to us?!?!

Before I can think up a fake location, the scary man next to us pipes up, making me jolt,"So this was for a game?" Manbun takes the flag out of his pocket and twirls it between his fingers.

"You...no way" a mixture of surprise and amus.e.m.e.nt, trying to hold back his laughter, Nars holds a hand over his mouth. Cold-kun just stares at me in silent befuddlement.

Manbun stares at me, an eyebrow raised, his domineering aura slightly suffocating me,"Did you win?"

His cold aura regressed slightly, looking slightly pleased, he states,"Good, but if you're going to use me as a pawn in your chess game, make me the king next time." He chuckles at himself.

Next time? NEXT TIME?! You think I have the gall to do this AGAIN?!

...wait, I just noticed something. How did he know I put a flag in his pocket...
