{T/N: In this Fanfic, both Izuna and Sora are described as bck haired and bck eyed because the Author used the Light Novel's character descriptions ... I ged that in this transtion of course. And Yes, I'm using the Anime's character descriptions instead...}

Nangou Haruya died, again. This was already a on occurrehe cause of death this time was slipping while getting out of bed and actally impaling his throat on a sharp piece of wood...
Since he had fotten to Save a Checkpoint the moment he woke up, Haruya had no choice but to reload to st night befoing to bed and sleep all ain.
To be ho, having the Checkpoint ability wasn't always a good thing. After all, you had to repeat everything you'd done, no matter how painful or b it was.
Of course, if it was something you were ied in, like gacha or lottery draws, it wouldn't feel b.
Just as Haruya was getting out of bed, the deafening cheers outside had already reached the skies. It seemed he had missed something.
"The situation isn't looking good... But sihis has happened, it means I have more time to act... no, it means I act earlier."
The reason for the cheers was likely Sora's decration that "Immanity is the weakest!" and his decration of war against the entire world.
The purpose of this was to make other tries suspect that someone was bag Immanity, creating a diversion.
Then, while the other races were busy with the 'guessing and doubting' game, Sora and Shiro would do what they wanted.
// Let me say it again! Immanity is the weakest! Uhe Elves, who use a variety of magical spells, or the Werebeasts, who possess incredible physical abilities, or even the Flügel, who have extremely long lifespans... we, who once ruled this ti, have we specialized i of war? Absolutely not!! //
Sora's voice echoed throughout the st kingdom of Immanity, Elkia. Haruya patted his cheeks, ran to the hroom (which was bigger than his old house), washed up, and ged his clothes.
All the necessary items had been purchased st night. After all, the wealth he had as a Noble ractically endless. Being a noble in a world where everything was decided by games was surprisingly easy.
"Now, it's time for me to do what I o do. I'll go to..."
Haruya's goal was simple. Right now, Sora and Shiro were probably trying to gather information about this world, right? That meant the library would be their target.
However, sihe Great Library of Elkia was occupied by the Flügel, Jibril, it would take some time for them to recim it. This period was the best time for Haruya to act.
After all, during this time, he would not be sought for by Sora and Shiro, which meant they wouldn't bee enemies.
Being enemies with the genius siblings at this stage was not an option...
Haruya's goal was to bee the full representative of two tries... While their goals were somewhat simir, it also meant there otential for flict.
Although f an alliance tion, Haruya did not think it was the best decision at the moment.
Without overthinking it, Haruya hired a carriage and headed to the Embassy—corre, what was inally the Empire State Building of Elkia City (tentative name).
This Embassy wasn't inally this big. It had been expanded after being taken over by the Eastern Federation.
Haruya stood at the entrance, waving his hands and shouting, "Hello! Excuse me! Is anyone here?!"
He remembered there was a beast-eared loli here, right?
After a while, the door opened, and a figure appeared at the top of the stairs.
It was an elderly Werebeast with white hair, wolf-like ears, and a thick tail, wearing traditional hakama pants. He desded the stairs.
The elderly Werebeast opened by saying, "What a surprising situation. I didn't expe ordinary Immanity to e here. Are you a diplomat from Elkia? If not, I have no reason to eain ued individuals."
"No, no, I'm here for a trade. That makes me a reted individual, right?"
"Trade?" The elderly Werebeast narrowed his eyes but chose to greet Haruya first, "o meet you. I am Hatsuse Ino, the deputy ambassador of the Eastern Federation stationed in Elkia."
"o meet you. I am Nangou Haruya, a neointed Noble of Elkia."
"A hen, Nangou-dono, what brings you here? What is this trade you mentioned?"
Haruya got straight to business, "Aren't y to annex Elkia and take all its territory?"
In respoo Haruya's words, Ino shook his head, "Please don't misuand. We are not a tyranniation. The Immanity territories we've acquired were won through fair games. If possible, we would prefer to maintain friendly retions with Immanity."
Haruya nodded, "That's true. Games decide territory... But yoals aren't that simple, are they? I provide you with all the information you want about Immanity..."
"Nangou-dono, you're just a Noble, right? Why are you ied in matters of the state? Moreover, as an Immanity yourself, why would you provide this 'information' to us?" Inquired the elder Werebeast in suspi.
"I have my own goals. Also, if you don't believe me, I tell you about the tents of yames."
"What?" Ino's eyes widened slightly, and then he ughed, "Please don't jest. No one has ever won against us in ames, and the memories..."
"Get erased, right?" Haruya fihe elder's sentence.
"How do you know... Have you participated in ames?"
Haruya just cpped his hands and thehem on his hips, "So, old man, I'm here to help you quer the ti. If possible, could you let me meet the ambassador, Hatsuse Izuna?"
"You're a strange person. This is the first time I've met an Immanity like you. Very well, this way."
Following Ino into the building, they passed through the entrance hall and took the elevator.
Among the eighty buttons, Ino pressed the sixtieth, and the elevatan to asd.
Ihe elevator, Ino turo look at Haruya, "I know what you're thinking, Nangou-dono. Please don't think you deceive us."
"Hoh... Because of the Werebeasts' mind-reading ability?"
Ino didn't answer. Instead, when the elevator arrived, he led Haruya inside.
They sat down at the table in the reception room, and before long, the door opened.
"This is the ambassador of the Eastern Federation stationed in Elkia, Hatsuse Izuna."
Ihe room was a dark purple haired and chestnut eyed girl with a bob cut, long and rge fennec fox-like ears, and a tail. She wore a kimono with a rge ribbon tied around her waist. No matter how you looked at her, she appeared to be no older than a single-digit in age.
"She's super cute!"
Haruya ran over and grabbed Hatsuse Izuna's hand, "Onii-san's name is Nangou Haruya. Is there anything you want little one? Onii-san is super rich right now."
"Don't f*%#n touch my hand, a*%hole... desu." Izuna said politely.
"...."
He got scolded.
Well, that was to be expected.
"...Please don't mind her. My granddaughter has only been in Elkia for a year and isn't very good at speaking the Immanity nguage, also..."
Ino expined grandfatherly, and then looked at Haruya before tinuing:
"You mother f*%#n hairless monkey!! Don't think just because I'm polite to you, you get cocky! You f!%#n dare to touch my precious granddaughter with your feces tossing hands again, and I'll kill you!!"
'What do you mean she's not good at speaking...? It's clearly because of her grandfather's influence.' Haruya thought.
That's why Izuna used derogatuage as honorifics when speaking to humans...
"Sorry, sorry, let's get ba topic." Haruya pcated, "by the way Izuna-, saying 'Desu' after swearing doesn't it make polite... Okay?"
"What a strange person... desu." The beast-eared loli just showed a fused expression.
After calming down, Ino said, "Nangou-dono, state your purpose. Let's see if we have a reason to cooperate with you."
Haruya nodded, "Now that Immanity has a new king, it won't be long before they challenge yht?"
"So what? We won't lose in games..."
"Is that so? But with my help, you increase your ces of winning."
"That's a strange way of putting it, Nangou-dono. What do you have that we need?"
"Hmm..." Haruya thought for a moment, "I have the ability to see through things. For example, what you call mind-reading is actually just the ability to detect lies, right? By the other party's heartbeat and movements, it's essentially cold reading...
Also, the Werebeasts have an ability called 'Blood Break', right? When using this ability, your fur and eyes turn blood red, temporarily enhang your physical abilities to the point of greatly surpassing physical limits. However, using 'Blood Break' puts a huge strain on the body and could even be life-threatening."
"Why do you know... desu?" little Izuna uzzled.
"I told you, I know a lot of things. Including the as of Immanity's new king and queen. They're currently reg the library that belongs to Elkia. Soon, they'll likely receive support from the Flügel."
"Flügel, desu?"
"Yes, Izuna-. That would be troublesome, right?"
Indeed, both the grandfather and granddaughter Werebeasts fell silent for a moment.
"This is indeed valuable information. So, Nangou-dono, what do you want iurn?" inquired Ino.
"To bee friends with Izuna-."
"Huh? What the f*%# did you just say?"
"No, don't get excited, Grandpa."
"You son of a b*%#! Don't call me Grandpa! Ah, my apologies. You said yoal is to bee Izuna's friend?"
Haruya nodded and held Izuna's hand, "Yes, to bee Izuna-'s friend."
Haruya couldn't form an alliah the Werebeasts at this point, so this was the only option.
"I f*%#n told you not to touch my hand... desu. But Haruya-san, your hand smells nice... desu."
"Don't be fooled by this Immanity, Izuna!" Ino separated the two.
Haruya coughed aended a finger, "My goal is simple. What do you think?"
"Although it's a strange goal, it's not a bad deal..." Then Ino looked at his granddaughter, "Izuna, you decide."
"This... He doesn't seem like a bad person, desu."
"Oh... right!" Haruya suddenly remembered something.
He took out an unopened box of chocotes from his pocket.
"This is a limited-edition chocote I got as a bonus when I bought something. I'll give it to you, Izuna-."
"Limited edition chocote? Desu?"
"In short, it's really delicious."
Izuended her hand, which had been hidden in her sleeve, "Let's be friends you f*%#n bastard, desu."
'Ohhh, half-success!'
Slightly closing the distaween himself and the beast-eared loli, Haruya spoke under Ino's watchful gaze, "Now, let's talk about how to deal with Immanity's pns. It won't be long before they e to visit..."
And then, it would be the game Love or Loved 2.
The oppos would undoubtedly be Sora and Shiro...
