"Play the next game in a bikini." (Pink Trigger)

"Play the next game in a bikini."

She probably saw where I was going with these games, by this point. Still, she was a little mischievous and always a bit of a tease. I'd be interested to see if she went along with it. Her reaction was fun to watch, as she tried to keep on an intimidating smile while reconciling herself to showing off her body.

"H-Hooo? Were you always such a pervert, Player?"

Yes, of course. Well, since around the time I'd come to Japan, anyways, but before I came to Rokkenjima. Instead of telling her any of that, I simply smirked.

"Then feast your eyes upon the revealed form of the Golden Witch... And let's not tell Lady Lamdadelta or Lady Bernkastel about this later, okay?" she requested, hissing through her teeth for the last part. I understood; she didn't want to be made fun of by her peers. I didn't know much about the other two witches, but they were probably the type who'd make fun of Beatrice relentlessly.

Next was the Banquet of the Golden Witch, which is my funny way of saying that she vanished her dress in a swarm of golden butterflies, leaving herself dressed only in a bright, shiny, gold-colored bikini. Her hair was down too, an extra treat for those of us who'd always imagined what it must look like. With her vibrantly golden hair out of its bun, it reached past the small of her back, all the way past her buttocks. That was pretty and all, but I was more interested in the goods: her body had the perfect shape of a youthful beauty, with large but perky breasts, a nice, soft ass, and a cute belly. I even drank in the other details: her slender shoulders, alternating up and down awkwardly as though she couldn't decide how to stand... her slender neck... her naked feet, timidly feeling the carpet in the tea room with her toes. The bikini was tied on the sides and back. It looked like just one little tug would pull it off!

Ah... Beatrice had gifted Kinzo ten tons of gold, but I'd been gifted something much richer. One gold bikini was better than all of the old man's riches!

"Why should I wear this, hmmmm? Are we going to go on a beach vacation in your home state of <California> now?" she taunted, placing one hand on her hip and leaning forward, while waving her pipe at me like she was going to hit me with it. She seemed to have regained some of her confidence now and was eager to turn the tables on me.

Oh crap. Wait.

Haven't I been through this enough to know what's going to happen next? The truth of the matter is, I only get one shot at this answer. This isn't the time to build up slowly. The reason I only get one shot is...

It happened just like I knew it must. First: dare! Would I kill one of the Ushiromiyas? No? Well, then would I kill myself as punishment?

I sighed deeply. Yes, Lady Beatrice, my master...
