Chapter 275 - Activities
Lith and Emilia reached the gra.s.sy ground in the middle of the stadium. The maid was with them and she was the one who worked to register these two into the upcoming activities.
There were not many but just three compet.i.tions. They were: the three legged race, treasure hunt, and daily tasks.
In the three legged race, the two would have one of their legs attached to each other and would need to do a sprint.
In the treasure hunt, the two would need to work together to find the treasure. One person would have their vision blocked and the other would have their voice blocked. They would need to coordinate and find the most valuable treasure together.
As for the daily tasks compet.i.tion, the couples would be given an oversized t-shirt and they both would need to fit inside it and do daily tasks that the compet.i.tion says of. Daily tasks such as cleaning the dishes, watering the plants, etc.
The ones who finish these challenges the fastest would be the winners and once these three are over, there would be other fun solo activities that the couples would be made to do in their respective private rooms.
The maid left after having Lith and Emilia registered for the three compet.i.tions.
Lith looked at Emilia and said, “Miss Emilia, would you be able to compete in that outfit? And would you be able to coordinate well with me?”
Emilia looked at him and said nodding her head, “this is my formal outfit, I’ll change it. And as for coordination, we’ll be able to do it without problems. Did you perhaps forget that I was your teacher?”
Lith smiled and said, “you were, but not anymore, right?”
Emilia patted Lith’s shoulder and said gently, “yes, but I have taught you many things and know a lot about you. The coordination shouldn’t be too much of a problem.”
Lith nodded. It made sense.
“Alright. There’s fifteen minutes before the three legged race starts. We can practice a bit by that time.” Lith suggested.
Emilia nodded and said, “sure.”
She first went to the dressing room to change and came back to where Lith was wearing a black trackpant, running shoes, a white top and a black jacket. Her blonde hair was tied in a ponytail and she looked very s.e.xy in this sports outfit.
Lith was wearing a similar outfit as her’s. While she went to change, he too did the same thing. He was wearing a black trackpant and jacket as well with a gray t-shirt on the inside and white running shoes.
“Let’s practice.” Emilia said and walked close to Lith.
He nodded and the two stood side by side. Emilia bent down to tie their legs with a cloth and added a spell on it to keep the two’s legs locked together.
“Ready?” Emilia asked Lith.
Lith nodded.
She took one step ahead and Lith too did the same thing, making their tied leg take one step ahead. The two then moved their other leg forward together, slowly but in coordination. They then moved their tied leg together and repeated these steps slowly until they were able to walk in a moderate pace.
They took support of each other by holding each others’ waist. Emilia didn’t need support but Lith did, so she held him for extra support.
The stadium they were in was imbued with sensors and no use of magic was allowed. If a couple used magic, they would be straightaway disqualified.
The time for the race was near and the partic.i.p.ants were called onto the track. There were around fifty partic.i.p.ants in this race and many had a mask on their races and wore various different types of robes.
Lith and Emilia stood in their position after coming onto the track. Lith once again held Emilia’s waist and had his palm on her soft and squishy love handles. Of course, he didn’t act like a creep and actually squished them to check their squishiness.
In a few minutes, a gunshot was heard and the race began.
Just at the starting, a few couples fell down because of poor coordination and a few struggled to move forward.
Magic was an essential part of everyone’s life and no magic made people struggle. They were having a lot of problems to maintain their balance and stability and some fell after a few steps due to that.
Lith and Emilia however had no problems. One was an Emperor Rank and could live without magic as well, whereas the other was a reincarnated being whose previous world had no magic.
Lith and Emilia didn’t sprint at the start but walked at a moderate pace. They increased pace gradually, but this decision didn’t impact their performance at all.
Many had fallen down already due to various reasons and to tie back the cloth on their leg and to start again took more time than they thought and this also slowed the others down.
The audience present cheered for everyone, especially Lith and Emilia when they saw how they were doing it so smartly and were at the lead. They laughed when couples fell down in a funny manner but they didn’t stop cheering. The audience was good and their cheers motivated many to move forwards.
In the end, Lith and Emilia finished the race and were first which was no surprise to the two but a great surprise to everyone present.
Everyone was amused watching the two smartly sprint their way to victory and what amused them even further was the fact that two had a big difference of height but still managed to win.
Lith was almost fourteen now but being a vampire, his physical growth was slow. It would take him a bit of time to grow as tall as Emilia who was 187 cm tall, almost the same as Arya who was 190 cm. Lith was 165 cm tall currently and growing 20 more centimetres would take a few more years.
Lith and Emilia were given prizes in which there was the secret menu present. Their prize also contained three gift hampers, one of which was a chocolate hamper, one cheese hamper, and the last one was an ice cream hamper.
Lith and Emilia could exit now but Emilia found these activities fun and asked Lith if he wanted to go with the other two as well. They could get good prizes for winning, there was that too, and Lith, having nothing better to do, went along with her.
