Cana: 7

Evergreen: 13

Nate effortlessly saw through their cards.

"So you're the King…" Cana batted her eyes, confident she wouldn't be chosen. She wasn't worried.

"7!"

Nate's smirk deepened as he called Cana's number.

Cana froze, startled. Why?!

"13!"

Now it was Evergreen's turn to be stunned. "Huh? Me?"

A moment ago, she'd been enjoying Cana's predicament, and now she was caught too.

"Number 7 and number 13, perform ten naked squats," Nate declared mercilessly.

Cana's face turned red. "Cheater! Damn it, you must be cheating!"

Naked squats?

The other girls blushed furiously, shaking their heads in disbelief.

"That's too much! It's against the rules!" Evergreen protested, both ashamed and furious.

"What's against the rules?"

"Nakedness and squats are two separate punishments," Evergreen stammered, her face glowing red. "And… and being naked isn't allowed, you pervert! If you want to see something, you should start with just one piece of clothing!"

Such a flimsy excuse.

Nate chuckled. "Alright, I'm not a total devil. Let's start small—each of you removes one piece of clothing."

Hearing this, Cana heaved a sigh of relief.

Although they were all girls here, being completely naked was far too embarrassing. Removing just one item was manageable.

After all, she'd dressed in layers!

As for Nate… what did it matter? It wasn't like he hadn't seen her naked before. Cana was completely unfazed.

"Fine, fine, I'll do it. I'm a woman of my word!" Cana regained her confidence and swiftly removed one of her socks.

"Socks don't count as clothing." Nate rolled his eyes.

Cana groaned, annoyed, and reluctantly removed a top layer of clothing.

Then it was Evergreen's turn.

Seeing Cana comply, Evergreen had no choice but to follow suit.

Unlike Cana, Evergreen wasn't wearing many layers—just a tank top and a jacket.

When the jacket came off, her upper body was left with only a pink-and-white tank top.

Ultear smirked and covered her mouth. "Cana might be fine, but Evergreen, how many more layers do you have? You're going to end up completely naked soon!"

Evergreen's face burned, and she muttered indignantly, "So what? I'm not scared of being naked!"

Soft everywhere except for her sharp tongue.

Mavis narrowed her eyes, looking at Evergreen's ample chest before glancing down at Wendy beside her.

She silently sighed with relief.

"Wendy, let's cheer up and do our best together!"

"Huh?" Wendy looked puzzled.

The game continued, with Nate naturally drawing the King's card again.

When he flipped the blank card over, Evergreen stared in disbelief.

"It's you again?!"

"Yep, it's me. Sorry about that." Nate laughed heartily. "Number 3 and number 9, remove one piece of clothing."

Evergreen checked her card—it was 9.

Cana, holding 3, fumed. "Cheater x2! There's no way you aren't cheating!"

"Hey, don't accuse me without evidence, Officer." Nate spread his hands innocently.

No evidence!

Cana seethed internally. How the hell is he doing this?!

"Come on, off with it." Lisanna egged her on with a mischievous smile. "Play fair. Nate didn't call us out last time for cheating, did he?"

Cheating is a skill—if you don't get caught, it's not cheating.

Cana had no choice but to remove another layer.

Everyone's attention turned to Evergreen.

Evergreen's ears turned bright red. "Damn it… you pervert! Do you really want to see me naked that badly?"

"Yes, hurry up," Nate replied shamelessly.

"Fine… fine!"

With a face as red as a tomato, Evergreen reluctantly peeled off her pink-and-white tank top.

"You're still wearing underwear?" Nate asked, exasperated.

"Of course I'm wearing underwear! Do you think I'd just walk around without it?!"

Alright, fine. Let's go another round—I'd love to see what you do next.

Nate smiled slyly. "Keep going! Anyone who chickens out is a puppy!"

Everyone placed their cards on the table, and Mavis was responsible for shuffling the deck.

A new round began, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Nate.

As Nate reached for a card, he suddenly paused. "You're not planning to wait for me to pick a card and then snatch it, are you?"

"Why not?" Meredy asked with an innocent smile. "Nate, you're obviously cheating. If we grab the King's card before you do, problem solved!"

Honesty, the ultimate weapon.

Nate was momentarily speechless.

"Fine, go ahead."

Just as he reached for a card, Evergreen's hand shot out and snatched it away.

"Hah! This time, it's my turn!" Evergreen smirked triumphantly, glaring at Nate.

"That one's the Joker, you know—the wild card in the deck," Nate teased, swiftly grabbing another card. When he flipped it over, it revealed the King.

"By the way, let me make one thing clear…"

"I, Nate, am not cheating!"

"Aaahhh! You're so underhanded!" Evergreen wailed. "You tricked me!"

"Enough whining. Draw your cards." Nate crossed his arms, leaning back and resting one leg over the other, looking completely at ease.

With the King already taken, the rest reluctantly picked their cards.

Nate didn't bother with pretense anymore. "Number 1 and number 15, remove one piece of clothing."

Cana didn't even bother arguing. She simply took off another layer.

Everyone's attention turned to Evergreen.

Now reduced to just her underwear on top, Evergreen looked around at their expectant faces and stammered, "I-I'll drink instead, okay? Please, Your Majesty, have mercy!"

"Denied!" Nate shot her down mercilessly.

Evergreen glared at him, face crimson. Left with no choice, she hugged herself tightly and began removing her bra.

Evergreen's ingenuity showed itself—though she removed her bra, she managed to keep everything covered.

Nate grinned wickedly. "Why not just lower your arms?"

Evergreen: "…"

"Fine, fine. Let's see what happens next." Nate chuckled, thoroughly enjoying himself.

This was how the King's Game was meant to be played.

Last time in the guild, they'd been far too restrained.

Tonight, no one would leave this room fully clothed!

And so, the game continued round after round.

Everyone knew Nate was cheating.

Nate knew that everyone knew he was cheating.

But that didn't stop him.

Every time a new round began, the girls would eye his movements closely. Whenever he reached for a card, that card was snatched up immediately.

First card, second card, third card—it didn't matter.

If Nate so much as twitched, the card he aimed for was gone.

The game had turned into a psychological showdown!

But even with the added challenge, Nate maintained an overwhelming advantage, securing the King's card in 7 out of 10 rounds.

Under the relentless King's commands, Evergreen's clothes gradually disappeared.

After the underwear came the pants.

After the pants came the socks.

When the socks were gone, even her glasses had to go.

Eventually, she was left with no choice but to remove her underwear.

To preserve her dignity, she kept her legs tightly pressed together.

Cana didn't escape either.

Despite starting with layers upon layers of clothing, Nate had targeted her piece by piece until she, too, was completely naked.

Once someone was fully stripped, they seemed to adopt a "might as well" attitude.

"If I'm embarrassed, everyone's going down with me!"

From that point, the game devolved into chaos.

Even when Nate wasn't the King, the punishments remained the same: strip.

If the chosen numbers were already naked, the only alternative was to drink.

The night went on, and the group grew rowdier, eventually devolving into a room full of drunken laughter.

Even Cana, a seasoned drinker, ended up passed out, completely wasted.
