With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 150

“Huh? Weren’t you going to help me get revenge? Mr. Ghost, why are you closing your eyes?”

Seeing Mr. Ghost looking like he was about to go to sleep, Bai Xiao Cha was confused.

“You’ll know in a moment.”

Xia Xi didn’t explain much, simply focusing his mind on the game space.

To be honest, he hadn’t decided what kind of game to create yet. Moreover, Xia Yue wasn’t on his list of exchangeable targets, so he wasn’t sure if he could pull her in.

“As for the setting… a stage. Add an AI commentator and a bunch of AI audience members, random personalities… And the game rules… let’s make it a speech contest to see who can win over the judges and audience more…”

….

“So bright!”

Xia Yue was in the middle of a wonderful dream about transforming into a magical girl to fight evil tentacle monsters when a sudden, intense light forced her eyes open.

“Damn tentacle monster, resorting to such cheap tricks!”

She rubbed her eyes, complaining incessantly.

“Wait… this place doesn’t seem like…”

Once her eyes adjusted to the light, she realized she was now on a stage. Countless spotlights shone on her, as if she were at a star’s concert.

“Ladies and gentlemen! Contestant number one has taken the stage! Look at this figure that’s both loli-like and youthful! Listen to this sweet voice! Let’s shout her name together!”

“Xia Yue!”

“Xia Yue!”

“Xia Yue!”

Looking at the huge crowd below the stage waving glow sticks, Xia Yue felt her head buzzing.

This dream felt way too real. Had she traveled to another world?

Before she could think more, a flash of white light appeared beside her. There stood Bai Xiao Cha, wearing a crop top, denim shorts, with her hair tied in twin tails.

“Mr. Ghost, don’t leave me behind!”

She shouted, then noticed Xia Yue beside her.

The two stared at each other in silence for a good while.

“So… who is Mr. Ghost? This isn’t a dream?” Xia Yue frowned, sensing her little friend was hiding something from her.

“I don’t know,” Bai Xiao Cha shook her head.

“Then what are we supposed to do now? How do we get back?” Xia Yue asked again.

“I don’t know,” Bai Xiao Cha shook her head even faster.

Looking at this silly loli, Xia Yue clenched her little fists.

Fortunately, the commentator’s voice rang out just then.

“Ladies and gentlemen! Our contestants have all arrived! The much-anticipated ‘Moe Contest’ begins now! Let’s welcome our second contestant, Bai Xiao Cha, to showcase her moe first!”

Amidst Bai Xiao Cha’s stunned expression, the circular platform beneath her feet slowly rose. The large screen behind her projected a full-body, detailed view of her.

“Relax. If you win, you get to punish Xia Yue.”

Xia Xi sat somewhere in the audience, speaking into a walkie-talkie in his hand.

For some reason, this time within the game space, he had appeared in Bai Xiao Cha’s form. Meaning, there were now two identical Bai Xiao Chas in the entire venue.

Simultaneously, both Bai Xiao Cha and Xia Yue discovered they now had earpieces in their ears. Xia Xi’s voice sounded in both their ears at the same time.

“What do you mean?! I treat you like a good sister, and you actually want to punish me?!”

Xia Yue instantly understood. The person speaking must be the so-called “Mr. Ghost,” and the reason she was dragged here was because of Bai Xiao Cha.

“It wasn’t me! I didn’t! He’s lying!”

Bai Xiao Cha vehemently denied.

“Hmph, just you wait. There’s no way I’ll let you win! A mere Xiao Cha, daring to dream of punishing Princess Yueyue!”

Xia Yue snorted coldly, also turning to look at the big screen, ready to watch Bai Xiao Cha’s performance.

Bai Xiao Cha stood on the raised circular platform, bit her lip, then took a deep breath.

For the chance to punish Xia Yue, do your best, Xiao Cha!

“Hello, brothers and sisters~ Xiao Cha isn’t very talented. How about I dance a little for you~”

As a coser, Bai Xiao Cha had plenty of experience dancing and knew how to showcase her cute side effectively.

At least, when the classic “Ievan Polkka” (Note: The “Leek Spin” song often associated with Hatsune Miku) started playing and a super-sized leek appeared in Bai Xiao Cha’s hands, her slightly dazed expression was genuinely adorable.

The dance lasted two to three minutes. Only after the music ended did the big screen stop projecting Bai Xiao Cha’s image.

“Thank you contestant Bai Xiao Cha for the wonderful dance! Isn’t this adorable little loli just hitting all your moe points?! Now! Let the voting begin!

Alright, voting has ended!

Three hundred votes! As expected of a cute loli! She managed to capture the hearts of three-fifths of the audience present with her moe dance!”

Hearing this, Bai Xiao Cha let out a slight sigh of relief.

Going first without any preparation, getting support from three-fifths of the people wasn’t bad.

And besides… Xia Yue probably doesn’t have any special talents either. Her votes couldn’t possibly be higher than mine!

“Now, let’s welcome contestant Xia Yue to showcase her moe!”

As the commentator’s voice faded, the circular platform beneath Xia Yue began to rise.

The large screen now showed Xia Yue, standing with arms crossed, her face full of disdain.

“Hmph, a bunch of small fry~ Daring to ask Princess Yueyue to perform for you! Small fry should just stay small fry, don’t harbor unrealistic fantasies~

Huh? Onii-chan and Onee-san are angry? Well, that can’t be helped~ Princess Yueyue isn’t a machine here to serve you~

What? You want to turn Princess Yueyue into a cream puff? No way, no way~ Small fry are just small fry, your heads are full of naughty thoughts~

Baka, hentai, urusai (Stupid, pervert, shut up)~

….”

After over two minutes of Xia Yue’s “tsundere brat” rant, the entire venue fell into silence.

Even Xia Xi wasn’t sure what expression to make.

Typical Xia Yue, right? No talent, so she resorts to verbal attacks…

The key is, the impact was…

“Xia Yue! Xia Yue! Xia Yue!”

Wait, what? Why are these AIs getting excited? He remembered he didn’t give these guys any masochistic attributes!

Could the random attributes have all rolled into these perverts by chance?

Back on the same level platform as Bai Xiao Cha, Xia Yue glanced at her with a hint of pride.

Because the audience’s reaction was clearly more intense than during Bai Xiao Cha’s performance.

In this day and age, abstract performance art is definitely more likely to capture public interest than ordinary performances.

Listen, many are still shouting, “Princess Xia Yue, scold me again!”

Tsk tsk, what a bunch of small fry~

“The voting results are in! Contestant Xia Yue… four hundred and forty-four votes! A commanding lead!”

….

[Task failure count: 1. Host, please accept the punishment on behalf of Bai Xiao Cha, then choose whether to continue the task.]

So…

Making me take on Bai Xiao Cha’s form in the game space was just to make it easier to accept the punishment for her, right?!

Xia Xi was currently tied to a chair in a dark room, his hands and feet bound to the armrests and chair legs.

A smug Xia Yue stood before him, holding a feather.

The real Bai Xiao Cha had been teleported to the monitoring room, watching the surveillance footage of “herself” about to be punished.

“Hehehe, Xiao Cha, listen. The little feather in my hand says it really wants to get close to your feet~”

“Don’t you dare come over!!!!”
