"Sigh~ Failed again."
On the streets of Tokyo, a girl with ombre pink and green hair and a proud figure walked listlessly down the street, her head hanging low.
Passing through the bustling crowd, crossing the main road filled with people, Kanroji Mitsuri returned home after taking the train.
"Sister~ You're back!"
Her younger sister ran over from not far away and hugged her leg.
"How was the blind date! Was it successful this time!"
"Sorry... I was rejected again."
Kanroji Mitsuri's eyes darted around guiltily: "The other party, like the previous few, disliked that I ate too much."
In fact, this blind date was with a rich person, so money wasn't an issue.
The main reason was that she didn't hide her superhuman strength and demonstrated lifting a large rock with one hand to the other party.
And then...
There was no then.
The other party was directly scared away by her superhuman strength, even shouting highly insulting words like 'Monster!' as he ran!
Looking at her younger siblings comforting her, Kanroji Mitsuri forced herself to cheer up, squeezing out a smile on her face.
"It's okay, I'm used to it."
"As long as I try a few more times, Sister will always find someone suitable."
The world was so big; she didn't believe there wasn wasn't a man stronger than her.
"By the way, where's Mother?"
Kanroji Mitsuri's face showed a hint of confusion as she scanned her surroundings.
"Why isn't she home today?"
Due to her extremely large appetite, their family had to prepare meals early every day.
It was really rare for her not to be home at this time.
"Mom went out to buy groceries earlier because there wasn't enough food at home."
"Oh, I see."
Kanroji Mitsuri scratched her head, understanding.
Her appetite would increase a bit every time she failed a blind date; Mother must have anticipated her failure and prepared in advance.
Click~!
Just as Kanroji Mitsuri realized this, the door behind her suddenly opened.
A woman walked in from outside, a wide smile on her face: "Mr. Lin Que, this is my humble abode."
"It's a bit simple, I hope you don't mind."
"Don't worry, I only look at the person, not the money."
Lin Que walked in leisurely: "After all, no one in this world could possibly be richer than me."
"Haha, Mr. Lin Que still likes to joke so much."
The woman chuckled, then her gaze suddenly fell upon Kanroji Mitsuri, who was also standing at the door.
"Hmm? Mitsuri, you're back too."
"Perfect, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Lin Que, whom I met on the way."
"He's currently on a blind date, and when I met him, I brought him back for a meal so you two could meet."
"But since you're back, why don't you two go out to eat instead, so I don't disturb you."
"Huh? Oh... I see."
Kanroji Mitsuri snapped back to reality and quickly introduced herself.
"Um... my name is Kanroji Mitsuri, nice to meet you."
...
So handsome!
This was Kanroji Mitsuri's only thought at the moment.
Sitting at the dinner table, Kanroji Mitsuri mechanically ate the food in her bowl while secretly glancing at Lin Que beside her.
She had been on blind dates for a while now, and in between, she had met all sorts of people, including some rich young masters.
But someone as handsome as Lin Que, she was seeing for the first time.
More importantly, his gaze towards her was very normal.
Yes, normal.
Silently, she looked at the three stacked bowls beside her, then at Lin Que.
Since the blind date began, Lin Que was the first person whose expression didn't change after seeing her eat so much.
It was as if it was a very normal thing.
"Kanroji, is there something on my face?"
Just as Kanroji Mitsuri was secretly observing him, Lin Que's gaze suddenly met hers.
"Why do you keep looking at me?"
"Huh? That… I was just a little curious."
Kanroji Mitsuri thought for a moment, and not liking to lie, she decided to be frank and straightforward.
"Lin Que, do you mind that I eat so much?"
"Is it a lot?"
Lin Que tilted his head: "It's alright."
"Huh? Just alright?!"
"Yes."
If he had to say, Lin Que's eating capacity, when he let loose, was much more than hers.
What Kanroji Mitsuri was eating now wasn't even enough to fill his teeth.
"That's great, luckily you don't mind."
Kanroji Mitsuri breathed a sigh of relief, then brought up another matter.
"In fact, besides my large appetite, I also have great strength."
"Oh, I heard about that from your mother too."
Lin Que raised his right arm and placed it on the table, gesturing to Kanroji Mitsuri.
"I'm very interested in how strong you are. Do you want to try?"
"This… isn't that good?"
"There's nothing bad about it. How about we make a bet?"
Seemingly having thought of a fun idea, Lin Que smiled faintly.
"If you can beat me, I will marry you."
"Of course, if you lose, you can only be my pet."
"Really?!"
Kanroji Mitsuri's eyes lit up.
In Kanroji Mitsuri's opinion, this was simply a sure-win deal.
Due to her physique, her muscle density was eight times that of an ordinary person.
She looked delicate, but in reality, her strength was enormous, even capable of lifting tons of boulders.
Lin Que competing with her in strength would definitely not win.
As long as she won against him, it would be equivalent to a successful blind date.
He didn't mind her appetite and monstrous strength, and he looked so handsome—it was a huge gain!
"You said it, no backing out!"
"Of course."
Lin Que replied earnestly: "I, Lin Que, have always acted honorably and never lied."
"Good!"
Kanroji Mitsuri eagerly raised her arm and clasped hands with Lin Que, assuming an arm-wrestling posture.
"You count three, two, one, and at one, we both exert force!"
Lin Que chuckled softly: "No need for all that trouble, I'm already ready, you can start exerting force."
"Then I'll start moving!"
Hearing Lin Que's words, Kanroji Mitsuri didn't hesitate and decisively began to exert force.
Of course, she didn't use her full strength.
After all, in Kanroji Mitsuri's view, Lin Que was just an ordinary person.
If she really used her full strength, it wouldn't be arm wrestling; she might even rip Lin Que's arm off, which would be too horrifying.
However...
One second after formally exerting force, Kanroji Mitsuri's expression suddenly became somewhat surprised.
"Strange, I can't budge him?"
"Why is your strength so weak, Kanroji?"
Lin Que teased from the side: "Could it be you haven't eaten enough? How about we order some more food and compete later?"
"No need at all!"
Realizing that Lin Que was not an ordinary person, Kanroji Mitsuri gradually let go of her reservations and began to increase her effort.
In less than a few seconds, she unleashed all her strength, pushing her power to its limit.
Under her arm, the sturdy wooden table even showed visible cracks.
But to Kanroji Mitsuri's surprise, Lin Que still looked leisurely, his arm standing unmoving there.
"Huh! How is this possible?!"
Her monstrous strength failing for the first time since birth, even Kanroji Mitsuri couldn't help but be stunned.
"It seems this is your full strength."
Lin Que slowed down, his arm slowly moving downwards to the left.
In Kanroji Mitsuri's bewildered gaze, she was defeated by Lin Que with such absolute dominance, losing her first match.
"The winner has been decided."
Straightening his slightly disheveled sleeve, Lin Que extended his hand towards Kanroji Mitsuri.
"Well then, it's time for you to fulfill your bet."
