"Lux has to be half-lying down. One bed is too cramped to play properly. How about this—45, let's move that bunk bed over and put them together so everyone can sit on the bed."
HK416 gestured to UMP45. The two of them moved a bunk bed over and joined it to the bed Lux was lying on, forming a large double bed.
Everyone took off their shoes and sat on the bed.
Seeing all the Tactical Dolls' beautiful legs, Lux immediately felt his mouth go dry.
He grabbed a bottle of mineral water and took a sip, gradually calming down… or so he thought.
There was no way any man could stay calm in a paradise-like scene like this.
Getting injured once in a while and relaxing like this wasn't so bad, Lux couldn't help thinking.
"Everyone ready~? Then! Miss MDR will start dealing!"
MDR said proudly as she stylishly flicked cards toward everyone. Everyone quickly organized their hands.
Half an hour later, Lux stared blankly at his cards.
Aside from his underwear, all of his clothes had been neatly folded and set aside by HK416.
M99, sitting on the other side, had it even worse. One piece of clothing after another had been stripped off, and now she could only shyly wrap herself in a blanket while playing.
The other Tactical Dolls and Lianne had each taken off one or two outer layers or tops, but HK416 hadn't lost even once.
Aside from MDR, who had been caught secretly cheating and was punished by having to take off two extra pieces of clothing—though she insisted her hat counted as a separate item, so she only removed her black stockings and top—there were no major issues.
Yes, in these thirty minutes, the lower-tier players were basically Lux and M99 every round, while the top-tier players were consistently HK416, UMP45, and Lianne.
The three of them played as if they had card counters built in, always playing the optimal cards with speed and precision, and every round they perfectly blocked Lux, preventing him from playing.
To be fair, it wasn't that Lux was bad at cards—it was just that these three were like supercomputers. Lux even suspected they had x-ray vision and could see his hand.
And since M99 had already lost all her clothes, no one touched her anymore. Instead, everyone shifted their attention to Lux, allowing M99 to continue playing.
What gave Lux the biggest headache was that HK416's gaze was almost always locked onto him. Even the slightest hesitation when he looked at his cards was instantly seen through by her, followed by relentless targeting.
"Four-of-a-kind bomb. I win, hahaha. Brother Lux, let me see if you developed properly!"
Lianne slammed down four cards.
Like a chain reaction, MDR and UMP45 quickly finished their hands as well, leaving only M99 and Lux as the losers again.
Lianne giggled and reached out to pat Lux's abdomen.
"Oh my, it's really firm. These muscles—tsk, tsk. You can't tell at all when you're wearing clothes."
"With such a great body, why don't you try wearing a Batman-style bodysuit sometime? It'd definitely be amazing."
She praised him while touching him. In truth, these abs weren't trained through exercise but were the result of the gene modification serum purging impurities, leaving most of his body tissue heavily muscle-oriented.
Normally it was to support his enhanced physical abilities—who would have thought it'd turn into the girls openly taking advantage of him now.
"No way! I hate tight suits like that!"
Lux protested humiliatingly, his earlier smugness completely gone.
"Alright, one minute's up! My turn!"
HK416 pointed at the stopwatch on her wrist. Lianne smiled and withdrew her hand.
HK416 eagerly moved close to Lux, hooked the corner of his mouth open with her index finger, and then used the fingers of her other hand to touch his tongue.
"Hey, Commander, smile a little~ You should set an example and accept the loss, right?"
"Mmmph!"
With his tongue being tugged by HK416, Lux couldn't speak properly and could only make muffled sounds of protest.
"Oh my, how bold. You even want to touch the inside of the Commander's body."
UMP45 teased from the side, but the slightly manic smile on HK416's face didn't fade at all.
"Hm? Lux, don't you like it when the other party takes the initiative? Smile for me~ Come on, you can smile, right?"
When the minute ended, HK416 licked her fingers, savoring the indirect kiss, and stared at Lux with burning eyes.
Tempted by her sweet gaze, Lux immediately felt his lower half slip out of rational control. Little Lux slowly raised his head.
"Oh~ looks like not only is Brother Lux's upper body well-built, but that part is quite fierce too."
Lianne covered her mouth and laughed, her face slightly red. HK416 happily lowered her gaze.
"Ahem! I—I'm not playing anymore… You—you all ganged up to scheme against me."
Lux threw down his cards and tried desperately to turn sideways to hide his tent.
Unfortunately, all the blankets on the bed had already been taken by M99 to cover herself. He had no way to escape the girls' gazes.
"Hehehe, if your skills aren't good enough, are you going to blame us? What, can't handle it, Brother Lux?"
"Wh—who says I can't handle it?! I—I'm just sleepy!"
Lux retorted while internally screaming about where this shameful play had come from.
"Ah, it's fine if you don't want to play. But as the loser, even after the game ends, you're not allowed to put your clothes back on today. Actually, you don't have much to be afraid of anymore, right? Look, we won't strip off your last pair of underwear. From another angle, if you just stay naked and let us touch you freely, you'd be invincible."
"Don't you want to feel my little breasts? Not bragging, but they feel pretty nice~"
Lianne lifted her chest slightly and spoke seductively.
"Damn it! I'll play, then! You think I'm afraid of you?! MDR! Deal the cards!"
Pushed to this point, Lux immediately flared up and rejoined the game.
A glint of "just as planned" flashed through Lianne's and HK416's eyes at the same time.
"Ah! I'll go switch shifts with Sten and Candice for guard duty. Let Miss Sten come back and play with you!"
M99 gave Lux, who was completely trapped, a pitiful look, then grabbed her skirt, put it on, hugged her sniper rifle, and quickly ran out of the staff dormitory.
When Sten returned, she tragically fell into the same situation as M99, while Candice was stopped by M99 and began learning sniper-related lessons.
"Hehehe, it's my turn now, Commander?"
UMP45 cheerfully started tickling Lux.
"Hey, stop! Wait—don't do that… I can't stop laughing, please let me go."
Lux's screams echoed through the small staff dormitory.
