Confess System: Picking Up Girls After Girls, Try Not to Get Killed!

Chapter 231 Rules Of The Tigermen Tribe

?

Heloise has always understood Felix's statement that "you don't need to treat me as a 'human'" as being of the same nature as her own often-stated "apostle of the Nefarious Tiger King."

However, after "colliding" with Felix's indifferent attitude, she suddenly realized that what Felix had said was the objective fact. 

The "Messenger of the Benevolent Deity" is not a 'person' chosen by the Benevolent Deity, but a subordinate dispatched by the Benevolent Deity from the realm of gods to the Prison Star world, hence the title... Felix, from the very beginning, was not of the same world as her - so thought Heloise.

— (In that case, what about the rules of our tigermen tribe?)

Heloise didn't have any ideas for a moment, so she simply responded frankly to Felix's question. 

"Yes, it is indeed related to the 'Purification Ritual', but the real cause that set the wheel of fate in motion is the fate restriction that has plagued our tigekin tribe for thousands of years."

.

Heloise's answer was still full of chuunibyou elements, but Tyler had already gotten used to it and could understand the meanings after a slight thought.

What Heloise referred to as the "fate restriction" was actually the tribal rules of the tigermen tribe. 

The tigermen tribe is a race that believes in the supremacy of power. Their ancestors set a rule for the tribe that has been used until now. 

This rule is that, regardless of gender, once they have passed the coming-of-age ceremony (at the age of 15), if they are seen naked by a member of the opposite sex who is not a family member for three times, they must marry this person.

But if they don't want to do this, the parties involved have the right to initiate a fair one-on-one duel. 

As long as they can win in the duel, they can cancel this marriage.

After hearing the rules of the tigermen tribe, Tyler's inner thoughts were that this was too peculiar... ah no, it was too unique. 

But after careful thought, it made sense. Peeping, which is a high-risk act, certainly cannot be done without some strength. If the weak dare to mess around, they would probably be killed the first time they peep.

(No wonder Heloise would resist the "Purification Ritual" so much, it turns out it's because of this rule...)

If Tyler were to perform the "Purification Ritual" for Heloise again tomorrow, it would reach the limit of three times, no wonder Heloise suddenly "proposed" to him just now. 

Knowing that this was due to the rules, Tyler also solved his doubts.

Tyler thought that he could easily earn a confession point after being proposed to by Heloise just now, but he didn't expect that the text prompt didn't appear at all. 

Now Tyler understood that even if the proposal was made, as long as it was not sincere, it would not be recognized as a confession. 

The feelings of Heloise for him were still just a certain degree of goodwill, and had not reached the level of confession.

.

"L-Lord...Fe…Felix… I... I have finished speaking, what do... what do you think?"

"I think, you might be overly worried."

Tyler now knew quite a bit about Heloise. As long as she gets nervous, she will forget about being chuunibyou and start speaking human language.

As for the restriction of the tigermen tribe's rules, this is not a problem at all in Tyler's eyes, and can even be said to be full of loopholes.

"Heloise, think about it, every time we perform the 'Purification Ritual', don't we only undress the top?"

Heloise heard this and thought about it, then nodded her head.

Being asked by Felix like this, it seems that "only undressing the top" is not something very shameful.

  Then, Felix compared this point with the rules of the tigermen tribe.

"The rules of the tigermen tribe are 'to see the body naked', according to this statement, I think the 'Purification Ritual' does not count as seeing Heloise's body naked." 

Felix's words seemed to make some sense to Heloise, but she still felt that something was wrong... being seen naked on the upper body was also a very shy thing.

Felix seemed to see through Heloise's thoughts and continued to speak.

"Moreover, even if 'seeing only the upper body' is also considered 'seeing the body naked', I still think the problem is not big, because as long as Heloise you are not willing, you can initiate a duel, right? As long as I deliberately lose to you, it will be fine."

Upon hearing Felix's words, Heloise felt a flurry of complex emotions. 

If it came to marrying Felix, she didn't seem to be very opposed... Although she had only known Felix for less than two days, she could vaguely understand that Felix would be someone who could accompany her for a lifetime.

However, if she were to assertively say "I do", she didn't seem to be able to say it out loud, always feeling that it was a bit rash... or something. 

But one thing Heloise was quite sure of was that Felix didn't cherish the opportunity to marry her, which made her quite angry.

"Felix, the duel of the tigermen tribe is sacred, deliberately losing is a blasphemy to the tigermen tribe, which this apostle of the Nefarious Tiger King will not recognize." 

"Furthermore, your strength, Felix, I have personally experienced its power, so deception would be meaningless."

Although Heloise was saying that she couldn't beat Felix, she put on a very impressive air. 

She had to intimidate Felix in any way possible to let him know that even the "Messenger of the Benevolent Deity" couldn't ignore the rules of the tigermen tribe.

However, Felix still maintained a calm expression as if "everything was under control".

"I understand, there's no problem with that, because according to what you just said, Heloise, there is no strict time limit for the duel. In other words, we can wait until the day you can beat me to initiate the duel, what do you think?"

Felix's way of exploiting the loopholes in the rules left Heloise speechless. 

If according to Felix's words, it indeed could be done that way, but why did Heloise feel more and more angry the more she thought about it? How could Felix see her body and then not marry her?

And he was going to look at her seven more times, he would probably remember every mole on her body!

Heloise, who had always been unclear about why she was not happy, finally realized that she had been taken advantage of by Felix!

— (Ah... Lord Earthly Ghost, why did you get Felix's identity wrong...TT…)

.

Despite being angry, Heloise couldn't blame Felix, after all, he did it to save her, and each "Purification Ritual" also consumed a lot of divine power.

And a person as excellent as Felix, even if he returned to the world of the gods, should not worry about not having a companion... 

Thinking about this, Heloise suddenly felt a bit lost. Not only did she lose in terms of strength, but she also lost in terms of attractiveness as a woman.

"Heloise, is my suggestion acceptable?"

Listening to Felix's question, Heloise nodded somewhat distractedly, regardless of how, it was definitely important to save her life.

Then, the two, who had reached a consensus, set off again, heading towards Delis Town.

.

On the way, Felix rode a horse and Heloise jogged alongside for exercising.

Heloise would occasionally steal a glance at Felix to see if he was sneakily looking at her.

However, the result was quite disappointing. Felix never stole a glance at Heloise, which made her even more upset.

Gradually, the cultural heritage of the tigermen tribe began to engender a certain emotion in Heloise's heart, she decided that she not only wanted to surpass Felix in strength, but also to make him fall hopelessly in love with herself!

— (Hehehe... At that time, when you say you want to marry me, I'll reject you!)

Heloise, rekindled her fighting spirit!
