Chapter 25.10: Big Brother and Calcharo's Punishment!
〜Void of Valor〜
Some of the slow-to-react Crownless and Calcharo, after realizing what was happening, also expressed that their minds were more or less in a daze.
Because, logically speaking… they both understood dancing, and they could completely comprehend it.
They were even willing to accept it as the content of a punishment, even if they didn't quite know what this so-called "Dangerous Party" was.
But the crux of the problem was the dance partner… they both felt a psychological resistance towards each other.
That's right, after all, a human and a Tacet Discord were already considered separate species, okay? Neither could adapt to the other's appearance at all.
Thinking of this, Calcharo and The Crownless once again cast their gazes upon one another, then seriously scrutinized each other from head to toe.
The final result was obviously… both sides still couldn't adapt to the other's appearance.
"Heheh. Congratulations to you two."
"At least this trip wasn't in vain. If you dance well, there's a reward, you know."
Rover spoke in a teasing tone, and after saying this to Calcharo and The Crownless, he directly left the challenge space.
After all, his business here was completely finished, so naturally, going back to accompany Yangyang and Chixia was much more appealing.
.....
[ ~Ding! The corresponding punishment content will now be transmitted. Guests, The Crownless and Calcharo, please complete it as soon as possible. ]
Accompanied by the prompt from the system, an extra segment of memory appeared in the minds of both Calcharo and The Crownless at the same time.
It was a memory of a dance… not only was the difficulty not great, but for them, it could even be considered very simple.
But the key to the problem was… it was just too damn intimate.
If only the partner were replaced by a member of the opposite sex, or even just someone of the same species, it might have been much better.
The fatal part was… the partner just had to be The Crownless (Calcharo).

Camellya: "Eh. Why haven't they started yet? Looking at their expressions… it seems something interesting is about to happen. ⦍SmirksJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Phoebe: "They look a bit unwilling. Is the dance too difficult? ⦍CuriousJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Cartethyia: "What could be hard about dancing? Can't you learn it just by looking at it once? ⦍ConfusedJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Jinhsi: "Yeah. Isn't it just a dance… how hard can it be?"
Zhezhi: "Do you guys think, is it's possible that it's not a problem with the dance, but a problem with the partner? ⦍ShyJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Chat Group Crowd: "Partner? Hiss~~ Holy crap, I just realized the partner is actually a Tacet Discord, and it's a boss-level Tacet Discord at that. ⦍TerrifiedJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Tacet Discord Army: "Understood. Finally figured out why this is called a punishment. Turns out it's dancing with a human… this truly is a massive punishment."
.....
Clearly, at this moment, everyone thought the key to the punishment lay with the partner.
They were completely unaware that the even more critical part was obviously in the dance itself.
[ ~Ding! Guests, please complete the punishment as soon as possible; otherwise, this system will enforce the punishment of a French kiss. ]
Accompanied once again by the system's urging, The Crownless and Calcharo exchanged a look of despair.
Then, they both made an unforgettable decision in their lives: since they couldn't resist, they might as well enjoy it to the fullest.
After all, if the completion rate reached over ninety-five percent, they could at least get an exclusive treasure chest, right?
It was definitely better than being forced… to passionately French kiss a species that looked ugly to them, no matter how they looked at it.
[ "Clack~~ Clack~~ Clack~~ Clack~."
On the screen, as The Crownless and Calcharo walked towards each other, their environment also transformed into a massive stage.
And as if to add difficulty, a pair of sexy high heels appeared on each of their feet.
Of course, the reason it's called sexy… is premised on being viewed by their own respective species. ]

Little Drifter: "….. (Bullshit. No matter how I look at it, I can't possibly find Calcharo sexy.)"
.....
[ When Calcharo and The Crownless finally walked together, they looked at each other one last time, then closed their eyes simultaneously and took a deep breath.
Then, when they opened their eyes again, the look they gave each other was already affectionate, with even a hint of lingering emotion entangling within.
"Snap~ Snap~ Snap~ Snap. Dun~~ Dun~~ Dun~~ Dun."
Right at this moment, the sound of music with a strong beat rang out…
〽 Your radiance shines like gold.
〽 Gradually invading my eyes.
〽 Just what kind of tone should I use?
Accompanied by the singing, The Crownless and Calcharo's dance began.
Calcharo was seen affectionately holding The Crownless, while The Crownless waved its right arm very sexily. After waving twice, it was led by Calcharo into a spin within his embrace.
After the spin, it was pulled back by Calcharo. Then, Calcharo wrapped his hands around The Crownless's waist, while The Crownless placed its hands on Calcharo's shoulders.
Clearly, in this scenario, Calcharo was playing the male role… and The Crownless was undoubtedly playing the female role. ]

Chat Group Crowd: "Ah~~ Ah~~ Ah~. What is this? My eyes… my eyes! I'm going to have nightmares after watching this. ⦍CoveringEyesJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Iuno: "I originally thought the punishment of electrocution was unrivaled under heaven, who would have thought there was such a punishment… I am genuinely feeling fortunate right now. ⦍ColdSweatJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Lupa: "Wuwuwu. Please forgive me… My impression of Calcharo and The Crownless in my mind can never be strong again from now on. ⦍SpeechlessJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Fenrico: "...If I were made to dance a dance like this, I'd rather die."
Ciaccona: "You won't be able to die, you know. There's a high probability you'll be forced to French kiss. ⦍PlayfulJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Cartethyia: "This… if only the partner were a bit better, it actually wouldn't be that hard, right? (For example, that Rover… )."
Camellya: "Obviously, if it were the partner you wanted… then it wouldn't count as a punishment at all. ⦍SmilingJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Jiyan: "I... Nevermind...(Actually, if it were dancing with the Vitreum Dancer, it wouldn't be impossible.)"

〜Huanglong〜
"This… this is too terrifying. Luckily, Rover, you didn't fail the challenge."
The two girls were sincerely feeling fortunate for Rover at this moment.
Just thinking about if it were Rover dancing with The Crownless, an extremely intense chill instantly washed over them.
