Chapter 20 The Arrogant Man's Guide to Conquering Him

Fortunately, Ella's linen clothes were thick enough that she should not have been injured.

Ella let out a scream and then shut up, regaining her speed. But Chu Sheng clearly sensed a murderous aura.

Just then, the cloaked man stumbled.

A muffled groan came from under the cloak; Chu Sheng heard it, and so did Ella.

She twisted her ankle!

Dogs typically have more than five times the stamina of cats.

The cloaked figure's speed noticeably decreased. Chu Sheng seized the opportunity, clamping his legs tightly around Ella's ears, raising his hands, and cupping his fingers together in front of his mouth to form a trumpet shape.

The red light for turning left is the hardest to wait for!!!

"Since you're here, don't leave!!!"

The words that were uttered turned into a shriek the moment they left the lips, and the sound waves roared forward along the narrow alley, shaking the dust off the walls on both sides.

The cloaked figure suddenly stiffened, then fell straight forward, not even having time to stretch out his hands to brace himself.

After a muffled thud, she stopped moving.

Ella nimbly leaped over the last few steps, pinning the cloaked man's arms behind his back.

caught!

"Hmph, trying to escape?"

Chu Sheng jumped off Ella's back, walked to the cloaked man's side, pinched the edge of the hood with his fingers, and yanked open the robe.

I go.

so big.

Beneath the cloak was a cat-girl.

Her fur was a rare pure white, and she wore a black night-clothes outfit, the close-fitting cut of which clearly outlined her figure.

Although her heart was broad, it wasn't as grand and selfless as Ella's or Arthur's. But looking down, the curve of her waist suddenly narrowed, becoming so slender it seemed like it could be grasped in one hand. And at her hips, the curve suddenly widened, forming a full, rounded arc.

The exaggerated contrast between the chest and waist alone creates a very strong visual impact.

At this moment, she was being pressed to the ground by Ella, her cheek against the stone slab, her white cat ears pressed back flat on top of her head.

She turned her head, wrinkled her nose, grinned, and revealed two sharp canine teeth.

"ha--!!!"

"You dare breathe on me?" Ella snapped, slapping the cat-girl on the back of the head. "Where's your wallet? Give it back!"

"Wait a minute." Chu Sheng righteously stopped Ella's violent actions, wiping away his nosebleed. "I think there must be some misunderstanding. Why would such a beautiful girl steal a wallet?"

Chu Sheng looked at the dumbfounded Ella: "She must have some unspeakable secret. Oh, you mean the nosebleed? I nearly cried out and hurt myself."

It wasn't that Chu Sheng forgot his principles because of lust.

Completing a side quest that involves both races is called maximizing rewards.

"Tell me, why did you steal?" Chu Sheng pulled his cloak back up, concealing his exaggerated figure.

"..."

The cat-girl stopped hissing, and her gaze towards Chu Sheng was no longer so fierce, but she still turned her head away: "Hmph!"

Oh, she's quite the tsundere.

Chu Sheng wasn't annoyed; he had other methods for winning over these tsundere characters. Right? Touma Kazusa, Eriri, Sendou Erika, Asakura Nemuru…

Gala is giving a lesson to the great god of wood!

In short, the most important things to do when trying to win over a tsundere are the "three musts" and the "three must nots"!

First are the "three essentials".

First, you need to go along with her and establish a comfort zone. Without a foundation of affection, a direct confrontation will only lead her to categorize you as "someone she dislikes." You need to follow her logic first, showing recognition of her abilities or respect for her self-esteem!

Secondly, demonstrate reliability unintentionally. Don't try to please her; instead, lend a hand when she encounters trouble, and then quickly leave!

Finally, find common ground or an opportunity to start a conversation. Tsundere girls usually have their own little world, so pay attention to the details they focus on and initiate a conversation by saying things like, "I happen to like that too," or "I'd like to ask you a question!"

Then there are the "three no's".

First of all, don't speak too intimately with someone you don't know well! The worst thing you can do is try to analyze her psychology on your own, as this will be seen as offensive and arrogant by a proud person when there is no emotional foundation between you!

Secondly, don't be clingy! A proud and aloof person needs a lot of personal space. Getting too close will only make them feel like you're a harasser with no boundaries!

Finally, don't act too weak! If you act like a meek and submissive pushover, the proud girl will only think you're boring!

I'm about to start!

Chu Sheng squatted down.

He didn't get too close, just enough for the cat-girl to see the expression on his face, but not so close that she felt pressured.

Chu Sheng took the winged wallet that had been taken from the girl from Ella's hand and weighed it in his palm.

It's very light; there probably isn't much money inside.

"Not enough money."

The cat-girl's ears twitched, but she didn't make a sound. Her deep blue vertical pupils peeked out from the edge of her cloak, watching Chu Sheng's profile warily.

"When you turned that alleyway just now, you used your right foot to push off the wall for leverage. That was a great move, but you twisted your ankle when you landed," Chu Sheng said kindly. "Was your right leg already injured, or did you run too long today and not eat anything?"

Ella blinked, looked at Chu Sheng and then at the cat-girl, her ears twitching in confusion.

Why aren't you treating me this way?

The cat-girl did not answer, shifting her gaze away from Chu Sheng's face.

"Hmph." After a long pause, she said sullenly, "Just arrest me if you're going to, stop with this nonsense."

"When you were hit by the sound waves, you didn't put your hands out to support yourself."

Chu Sheng examined the cat-girl's slender wrist.

"It's not that you didn't have time to reach out, but that you were carrying something in your arms and were afraid of breaking it."

The girl huddled inside the cloak, her white cat tail peeking out from under the hem. It twitched nervously on the ground twice before curling back up and pressing tightly against her calves.

Chu Sheng didn't ask what she was carrying. He changed from a squatting position to sitting cross-legged, lowering his eye level to be roughly the same as the girl's.

This posture is not very elegant, nor does it conform to the proper demeanor of an imperial squire knight, but at least he doesn't look down at people.

"I know a grey elf, whom I found on the way here. Her friends told her that if she kept going north, she would reach the Empire, so she carried her harp and walked hundreds of miles alone, ending up in the completely opposite direction. She knew that her friends were deliberately wrong, but she never complained. Because she was afraid that if she complained, she would lose even those friends."

The tip of the cat-girl's tail twitched.

"The dog-person who carried her," Chu Sheng tilted his head toward Ella, "had her tail stepped on by a Pegasus a few days ago, and she howled in pain, but she didn't hold a grudge against that Pegasus. Because she felt that the Pegasus didn't do it on purpose, and the Pegasus had apologized. She nudged the Pegasus's neck with her nose, and that was the end of it."

Ella hadn't expected Chu Sheng to bring this up. She wanted to say something to deny it, that she was still breaking off her friendship with Tianma, but Chu Sheng's gaze blocked her way.

"I won't go into my own story, it's too long," Chu Sheng smiled. "But since I've picked up these kinds of idiots along the way, picking up one more doesn't seem to make much difference."
