Lexy, Megalim, Staple, and Olivia all appeared in an icy field. After teleportation. “Nya! It’s cold!”

“Lexy, do you have any other clothes?” Megalim asked as she pulled out a blanket from her inventory and wrapped it around Lexy.

“I only have this armor.” Lexy shivered and leaned into Megalim, seeking warmth.

“Heating.” Megalim cast a warming spell on Lexy to warm her up. The two completely ignored the two icicles next to them. 

“Megalim, I am thankful that you take care of my little sister so well, but can you give some help to your teammates too?” Olivia was happy Megalim was good to Lexy, but they were also freezing their butts off!

“Ah! Sorry, here you go! Heating! Heating!” Megalim casted the heating spell on the other two. Olviia and Staple finally felt their bodies warming up.

“So what is our plan again. Should we stick to the plan like before or what?” Olivia asked.

“Plan? Did we come up with one?” When Staple said this, all four of them looked at each other and realized they never actually came up with a decent plan!

Olivia scratched her head as she embarrassingly asked: “So destroy and conquer?”

“What else can we do? Not like we really have any other choice. Grab all the flags we can, and then kill everyone we see.” Staple gave a simple battle plan.

“Then let’s do that. Do you want to split up or go as a group?” This was the most important question because if any one of them was killed, they would not be able to win easily.

“Split up!” Lexy suddenly yelled. “Limlim and I will be fine with Socks with us. And Staple can protect Big Sister while Big Sister destroys everyone. Limlim and I have enough power to kill anyone who comes near us, so we won’t have any issues. We can split up and meet at the center. See on the map? There is a city in the middle, and the area is a circle, so we can take our time and circle the area.”

“Lexy!” Olivia's lower lip quivered, and her eyes began to water up. “You are so much smarter than you look!”

“Big Sister, you're really being mean right now, you know!”  Lexy couldn’t believe Olivia just called her dumb!

“Hehe…” Staple covered her mouth and giggled. 

“Humph! Just you watch, Limlim, and I will have more flags than you two!” Lexy pouted. She was now more determined to get as many flags as possible.

“Okay, then let’s make a bet!” Olivia was fired up. Since Lexy challenged her, she would make it more interesting!

“What are we betting?” Lexy asked.

“If you win. You must give me a massage!” Olivia did not know what to ask, so she decided to go with a simple massage.

“Okay, then if I win, you must give Staple a big kiss in front of us!” Lexy grinned as she said this. She wanted to see Olivia’s shy, embarrassed face! This was Lexy's way of dishing out punishment for being called dumb.

“What!? Why are you bringing me in on this!?” Staple protested. Her whole face was red.

“Nyahaha! Teach you to laugh at me!” Lexy answered, smiling evilly.

Staple pouted and glanced up at Olivia, whose cheeks were bright red. She suddenly felt better knowing that she was not the only one who found it embarrassing. But who would have known Staple would be even more embarrassed as Olivia shouted: “Fi-Fine! It’s a bet! If you win, I will kiss Staple in front of both of you!”

“Okay, then it’s a bet!” Lexy grabbed Megalim’s hand and summoned socks. “Let’s go, Limlim, we will win!”

Megalim smiled and shook her head. Her Lexy was cute. She was more concerned about beating Olivia in the bet than coming in first place. And so the World Domination Guild split up and headed out in opposite directions with the goal of defeating each other.

After parting ways, Staple ran at Olivia’s side. She bit her bottom lip and asked: “Are you really going to…. You know, kiss me?”

“Hmmm?” Olivia looked at Staple and blushed slightly before nodding her head to answer but also asked: “Do you not want me to kiss you?”

“Huh? No, you can I…. We…. It’s fine….” Staple was having a hard time spitting out her thoughts. All this was new to her and was something she had always dreamed about, but now that things were this close to happening, she began to feel very shy.

“Don’t worry, we will win,” Olivia said as she reached out and grabbed Staple’s hand.

“Ah?” Staple looked up at Olivia, her eyes showing she was a little bit disappointed by Olivia’s declaration.

“I will kiss you anyway, but in private so that you can feel more comfortable. I do not want to force you to do anything you do not want to do.” Olivia wanted to treat Staple well and take her feelings into consideration.

Staple lips curled up as she interlocked her fingers with Olivia’s: “Then I will be waiting.”

Back on Lexy’s side of things, the two had already run into a huge group of players. They were all kneeling on the ground front of Lexy. There were at least fifty of them. “Your Highness, we are all from the Nya Nya Fan Club and wish to be of service to you. If you want to win this event, we are willing to find, kill and steal flags for you.”

Lexy looked at the girl in the lead suspiciously as she asked: “Will you really do that?” 

“Yes, I swear as the head of the Nya Nya Fan Club.” The girl answered while patting her chest with her fist. 

Lexy thought for a moment before pursing her lips and saying: “Alright. But if you try to backstab me, Socks will eat you.”

The girl suddenly smiled brightly and nodded her head: “Your Highness does not need to worry. We would never go against our Nya Nya code! We will make sure you win this event.”

“Okay, then I will put my trust in you. Meet me at the center of the map two days before the event is over.” Lexy decided to give them a chance. She figured there was no harm in trusting someone at least once. Plus, Socks could easily kill them all in one go if she ordered him to.
