Chapter 262

After the conversation with Mr. Poohhat ended, we moved to Otania and immediately used up all 13 "Treasure Lottery" cards.

Yes, those were all great Trash Cards...

I sold unnecessary cards at the Trade Shop to increase my immediate budget. I didn't withdraw money in Masadora, so I was penniless.

Before I forgot, I would Attach "Adhesion" to the seams. With this, and using three more cards, everyone would be able to use "Ken". This didn't make much sense.

Then, I returned to the Inn in Otania.

I left the room with Uranus to take a bath, smiling as I watched Kokoro and Sakura happily hugging Together on the futons in the usual room. When I glanced at Meleoron's face before leaving the room, it was amusing that he was a bit sullen. Wasn't having a book to kill time not entirely useless?

While walking through the hallway of the Inn,

"Ha... Seam doesn't get tired either.

Is it really that good, that cat?"

"What are you talking about?

That Sakura is nice."

"I don't understand what Aisa is saying."

After finishing my bath alone, I changed my clothes and walked through the curtain.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"No, I wasn't waiting."

We giggled after saying that to each other. What is this feeling?

Uranus smiled and pointed at the shop with her thumb.

"Want to have a drink?

You see, it's hard to eat and drink when I go back."

"Yes, that's fine."

Uranus had a bottle of fruit milk. I held a bottle of coffee milk and some donuts, sitting on the sofa in the hallway.

I immediately chewed on a donut.

Mmm... the sweetness of the freshly fried food is incredible. This is something that will seep into my exhausted internal organs, Zoro.

I swallowed the donut, opened the lid of the coffee milk, and gulped it down.

"... Puhah."

Exhaling is not good. For some reason, I glanced next door—ah, no. How Uranus drinks is too cute. It's like a baby drinking milk from a bottle.

It might be the effect of singing too much. Maybe I can't put enough strength into my mouth.

Saliva stretched between Uranus's lips and the separated milk bottle. Oh... this is something you have to see.

I looked away and took a sip of coffee milk.

"... Lina group, huh."

"Buho!?"

Wow! Are you talking about this right now!?

"Gho! Gho!"

"Oh, sorry, Aisa!

Saying something strange."

Uranus rubbed my back. Ah, yes, it helps, but it's a bit troublesome because the feeling of her bra is being transmitted...

"Cough, ah... yes. It's fine, mu..."

"Yes...

Do you really regret it?"

Gulp. It's fine to apologize, but I'm curious about the true intention behind saying such things. With my reaction just now, it feels like everything is exposed.

For the time being, I took a deep breath and bit into the second donut with a feeling of deception.

"But...

I was really worried.... What kind of relationship is that?"

…………

I think I aimed for this timing too. It's probably easier to talk when Meleoron and Seam aren't around. When I return to my room, I'll go back and play with Sakura.

I don't know what to do... Uranus, even if you lie, I will see through it.

That is why telling the truth is impossible...

"... I.

You said you were drawing the miracles of the Kazama Style Dojo."

"Yes..."

"In the past, my blood was also very high.

The Nen Ability users of the Kazama Style got along well with each other. Well, the Heart of Shingen-ryu too.

I also liked fighting with various people, and I promised not to talk about it, so I had quite a few ability battles with the 'Phantom Troupe'."

If you think the skill is very high... I see.

Not the number of matches, but the type of opponents matched? Then it would be easy to apply and easy to use.

"It was fun.

When I raised my hand in various ways, the other party also friendly raised their hand to me. This might be because I longed for the chance to use my Nen Ability to my heart's content.

Although I was warned, my previous aura was still great, so I was able to compete with the strong without hesitation.

... Miss Lina or something."

Oh yes. It came out from there...

"Miss Lina is also a very busy person, so I cannot compare."

At first, I didn't win at all. Either it didn't work, or it was pushed back.

But after many battles, I gradually became able to win...

After my body suddenly weakened, I couldn't match it, but I think the reason I was able to contend with Juu's advanced technology was mainly because I absorbed it from him."

…………

Assuming Uranus's Aura is several times what it is now, and possessing the current level of technology...

Of course, even Leina could not win steadily. It is hard not to see them fighting, but depending on how the game is decided, it will sway as it pleases.

"It's not like I'm addicted, but...

I wonder if this is the difference between when Lina is serious and when she is relaxed.

The method of suppressing power at that time was similar to the method of Hidden techniques.... Aisha."

…………

This is impossible.... You cannot distort this.

When hiding power and techniques, it is customary to only practice the Root. No matter when you want to try something, iterating the Root is what you should spend the most time doing.

I believe it is correct and I practice it, and I have also taught Leina this way.

Both Lina and I are humans who have completed technical optimization. It is the same martial arts system, and the Root and application are about the same. It cannot be different.... First of all, Leina imitates me.

As long as the martial arts Cultivation Root is close, if you want to change, you must at least relearn different martial arts.

... But what is important is.

That was taught to me by Master Dragon Zen, so I don't want to change it.

Well, I wonder what happened...

"Aisha let Leina buy Greed Island...

Most importantly, in order to help you, who were in the 'Absolute' state for a month and unable to use the Movement Spell, I took the initiative to capture the game...

Considering Leina's status, it is already impossible for it to be a normal relationship.

... I can only see it as a master doing various things for his beloved disciple."

Yes, that is correct. Just looking at that part.

In fact, he is a beloved disciple who does various things for his master... but I don't know why. I can't even give a satisfactory explanation.

──And there is the option of lying.

If I affirm his reasoning, that I am Lina's beloved disciple, this place will be temporarily settled.

The problem is after that.

If the lie is exposed and I still have to tell the truth, that would be very troublesome.

Even in the worst case, it won't help, and if the timing is bad, the game capture will go off track. I am so scared that I don't even dare to imagine how the three of them would react if they found out I am Ryusho.

However, just as I see through other people's lies with Aura and other things, Uranus sees through lies by looking at his Life Force and Spirit Power with his eyes. Even in battle, he reads everything. It is impossible not to be able to do it in daily life.

In other words, in the worst case, a lie might appear in this situation. That is bad...

First of all, he is watching me worry in real-time... this is an impossible game. Jajanken.

Uranus tilted his head,

"Aisha. Must I deny it?"

"Let me see..."

"Did I just say that?

"Aisha let Leina buy Greed Island."

... Are you not denying it?"

Pfft!?

I was hit...! Yes, we don't have the Material to draw a conclusion yet!

Sorry, this might be the most fatal. The room for lying has suddenly narrowed...!

Uranus probably stared at me as my expression kept changing, and sighed, "Hoo...".

"... Well, I don't know what the relationship is at this time.

It seems that this is a fact, and this relationship is impossible.

Last time, Aisha and Leina teamed up and cleared the game.

That is all there is to it, right?"

"......

............ Yes......"

"Yes.

Even if I played well, I might lose.

... Of course, that person is also too protective. Not letting Aisha participate in game strategy. Well, what I did this time didn't even get praised.

Ah...

Well, if this matter is found out, won't I be killed by classmate Leina?"

"... No.

I will never let that happen."

If you want to do that, I will use all my strength to blow you away. I don't want to bother Uranus anymore.

"Ah, yes.

Of course, please.

Anyway, I don't think it's free, but..."

Nuwu. Since it concerns that Leina, I cannot deny that she has already lost control...

Because you even tried to interfere with my transformation at the very last moment. And did my best. Although his usual submissive aura wouldn't even be that of a slave, why does he only act against me at times like this? How troublesome, that child who refuses to let the teacher go.

"I am very scared...

I hope you don't come, my friends."

"Yes..."

I really want that. Due to the interference of Lina and the others, if I miss the cleanup, how am I supposed to apologize to Uranus...

Of course Meleoron and Seam will also be exposed.

I returned to the front of the room, feeling that somehow I was powerless.

And from inside...

"Meow meow meow"

"Meow meow meow"

The sound is even more pleasant. Oh... I can easily imagine that scene.

When I opened the door, Heart and Sakura were both lying down, just as they were when I left the room. On Uranus's blanket.

"Hmm, you are warming up my bedding..."

"Director.

"Then, who is the director?"

An ecstatic Seam stood up, holding Sakura, and placed her directly on Uranus's head.

"... No, you know."

"The cherry blossoms there are also nice."

"Meow"

Sakura meowed and rubbed her face with her front paws. I wonder what a real cat would be like. I am a big help.

Seam reached out again and touched Uranus's throat area.

"Ah, what?"

"Sakura, it seems like it will put you in a good mood."

"Hey wait, I'm a cat... hey, that makes me ticklish."

"Hehehe"

Seam scratched Uranus's neck with both hands.

"Stop, seriously, oh, oh"

"Ten-thousand-year Rock"

"Uh, if you stop Seam, ahaha"

Uranus, you cannot Escape, because there is a cherry blossom on your head. I really didn't resist.

... That's it. When Meleoron said Mr. Poohat was also nice, that was it. I was in trouble, but Uranus seemed comfortable.

Come to think of it, I received the bear-cat costume from the NPC at the inn after washing. I wonder when I will wear it again. Hmm...

"Ahaha, sorry.

... Sakura, see you later. See you tomorrow"

"Meow"

"Little sister, let's go."

"Mm"

Meleoron folded the book he was reading and sat up.

He glanced at us as he walked out of the room.

"Aisha.

You have sugar on your mouth."

Oh my, really. Do you have the powdered sugar left over from the donut?

I wiped my mouth, and Meleoron smiled,

"You look quite good.

... Anyway, both of you take it easy. Good night"

"Oh yes.

Good night..."

Returning by reflection. Uranus didn't speak, looking as if he wanted to say something.

After Meleoron left

"..."

"..."

"Meow"

Sakura did not remain silent. Better than being awkward.

"Please stay as you are for a while."

"... You know.

I am tired for some reason

Most importantly, Sakura and Aura insect can you"

"No way."

"No, wait a minute. No way."

"Aisha, do you play with Sakura like this every day...?"

This is a very attractive way of putting it...

"Isn't that obvious?

Please give Sakura a good Recharge."

"... Aisha.

Don't you think I'm completely a Sakura charger?"

"What are you talking about?

Uranus is Sakura's charger. Be proud of that."

"Fei..."

Uranus whimpered. Sakura lowered her head with some sympathy.

"In general, what is it about Sakura that you don't like?

Isn't she cute?"

"This guy... he is not friendly to me...

To me, they are nothing more than vampires that suck up Qi."

"Meow meow meow meow!"

"Whoa whoa.

Stop! Your hair is a mess!"

Oh, my god, did I make you angry?

"Because they called me a vampire."

I reluctantly lifted the violent Sakura onto Uranus's head. He held her to his chest and stroked her back.

Sakura was suddenly in a great mood, and he spoiled her.

"Interesting."

"Hey, you are the only one who does this to me...

Only the wig on the outside is fine, so that one."

Uranus straightened his hair with teary eyes. Although they are my Nen Bead, my relationship with him is really not very good. How did this happen?

"... Sakura.

Please don't cause too much damage to Uranus's hair, okay?

If I don't increase your Qi, the time I spend with you will be shortened."

"..."

Sakura didn't cry. I think you know what I mean.

I held Sakura with both hands again and placed her on Uranus's head, whose hair was now straightened.

Uranus looked up anxiously.

Sakura quietly washed her face. Yes, it looks like you understand. As a reward, I will pat your head with a good girl.

"Meow..."

"As I thought, if Aisha is right, this guy..."

"You shouldn't be too careless with Uranus.

I can also borrow Sakura's power."

"..."

"Calling you a vampire is bad."

Sakura looked down at Uranus with a curious face. The apologetic Uranus didn't say anything else.

For some reason, I was startled by the scene before me.

"Neither of you is honest."

"... Not two people, it's One Pair."

"Nia."

If anything, I can't help but feel that I am the two.

Uranus sat cross-legged on the cushion with Sakura on his head, doing "Analysis" while memorizing the text.

I didn't want to get in the way, so I read the sequel to a book I had already obtained to pass the time. It was a book about Shingen-Style Kempo. I have read a lot so far, but this one is a bit different, so I bought it and read the sequel.

"—'Analysis' on. 362."

Taking a look, Sakura yawned leisurely. Uranus looked a little sleepy too.

Moving my gaze back to the content of the book, I continued reading for a while.

Ticking sound. Uranus began to take cards out of his Binder.

As usual. I took the fake cards out of the designated pocket and laid them around. There is no one-minute time limit, so it's easy.

A while ago, when I asked why the fake cards were made in order starting from No. 1, the answer was that it's hard to make mistakes. If I accidentally missed a valid Free Pocket card, it would be a Disaster. If they were to "double-check," you would find that you have a lot of fake cards.

Uranus transferred the valid cards to his Free Pocket. In order to make duplicate fake cards, the conversion target of the "Duplicate" card must be a fake card, so the valid card needs to be taken out of the designated pocket. It's fine now, but if the number of valid cards increases, it will be troublesome...

Uranus also used the Paladin's Necklace to keep order.

When I was engrossed in reading, I could hear neither the sound nor the sound of tidying up.

Uranus looked at the Binder. Can I talk to you as soon as possible?

I closed the book with a pattern,

"Uranus.

Can I talk to you now?"

"Yes, okay.

Are you waiting for me?"

"Yeah, alright.

Thank you for always organizing the cards."

"No. I just do it because I like it."

I think so... I play alone. I think doing this has already become commonplace.

"How is your throat?"

"Hmm...

I am recovering. I have also turned my aura around, and time has passed."

"That's good.

... I am a bit curious about Mr. Poohhat."

"Yeah. Are you talking about him?"

I hate it... no choice, I'll just ask directly.

"What do you mean by the PK Buster you mentioned?"

"... Come on?"

One. I was dumbfounded.

"If you say it like that, you'll worry about it unnecessarily, won't you?"

"Hmm.

Because I don't care.

Hmm. I'm joking, but I don't think I can tell you... if I try to force myself to Discovery and end up in a bad mood, that's fine too."

"I will notify you as soon as possible.

... Hmm, isn't there a group where Mr. Poohhat is?

I wonder who said this is a hame group?"

"What?

... I also just heard someone say it.

I am doing some fighting game hame, so hame group. It's a name anyone could think of."

Perhaps. It seems the hame group has no representative players, so they couldn't use a player's name as the team name.

Get up and go to Uranus.

He suddenly picked up Sakura and hugged her. Oh, it's warm. Fluffy. Squishy.

"Meow meow."

While stroking Sakura's head, I looked back at Uranus, who was looking up with a distressed face.

"As always, Sakura is like the best marshmallow, isn't she?"

Holding the front leg and squeezing the paw.

"Meow meow."

"No matter where I touch it, it's soft and squishy.

Sakura is truly a girl who ruins people."

"Yes...

Aisha is completely useless right now."

"Eh?"

I know my face is smirking. Xin is the same.

"Well, this makes me happier than anything.

Sakura seems very satisfied too."

Sakura wagged her tail in response.

"..."

Uranus looks very happy when singing, doesn't he?"

Uranus blinked.

"Yes?"

"Yes.

JateSari seems relieved."

"... I don't know if it's good or bad that you say it like that?"

Uranus shook his neck from side to side. I am very confused.

"Huhu. Sorry for causing confusion.

Mr. JaitSari, I was surprised to see you having fun.

... If you didn't believe we were Together, you wouldn't be so unreasonable."

"Uh...

Was it that old man who said that?"

"He is more worried about you than usual.

... I was too serious, I thought I would collapse one day.

I worried that we might become a burden, but Uranus usually has this feeling."

"... What is that feeling?"

"Don't be too nervous.

A certain sense of tension is important, but too much can be toxic."

I gave a Suggestion to Satotz, then Uranus sighed, "Whew...".

"... Me too. I want to live more comfortably.

But"

"..."

This kind of thinking is more tormenting to you than I imagined."

Uranus lowered his head.

... I didn't want to say anything. Staring at it for a while—

Water droplets fell onto the open Binder.

... If you want to forget it. No matter what you do, go buy a Rejuvenation Pill immediately and use it.

But the reason they don't do that is probably because they think various new problems will arise. Otherwise, there is no reason to hesitate.

If my imagination is correct... he shouldn't try to rejuvenate during the months when I cannot undo my forced "Zetsu." Because when something unexpected happens, you cannot handle it.

I knelt down and gently set Sakura down. Sakura also looked at him with concern.

"If you really can't stand it, hurry up and go get a 'Witch's Rejuvenation Potion'."

"No... it's fine.

I only remember a few things.

If I rashly barge into strange things, I'll be in trouble..."

I wouldn't try to state the reason directly—so I understood it even more.

He wasn't worried about himself.

I was worried about our lives, so when he tried to rejuvenate and something happened, I was waiting for my resurrection to take his place.

No matter how I made him prioritize himself, he probably wouldn't listen... he's just that kind of child.

In that case, what I can do now is lighten the burden for him a little.

I placed my hand on Uranus's cherry-colored hair and stroked his head.

"Thank you for your hard work today. You've done your best.

Starting tomorrow, I look forward to working with you."

"..."

Don't treat me like a child."

"Aren't you still a child?"

Her actual age is a bit strange, but that's how she is.

"Isn't Aisha younger than me..."

"Yeah, that's right. But you're still a child."

"Year"

Look, Sakura says so too.

Uranus didn't say anything. Even though his head was being stroked, he didn't show any signs of dislike.

"I really want to talk to you more, but let's rest for today.

Oh, will you take care of Sakura?"

"... I don't mind.

Yes...

After all, I'm tired too.

Aisha, thank you for your hard work today. Sorry for making you worry.... See you tomorrow."

"Yes."

I took Sakura into my arms and walked toward my bedding.

Uranus wiped the Binder with a "book" and then walked toward the light.

"Good night, Aisha."

"Good night, Uranus."

The lights in the room dimmed. The gentle glow of the cherry blossoms calmed my heart.

The next room.

Meleoron returned from the bathroom, eating yakitori and Beer like an old man.

Shim was also eating yakitori and juice while keeping an eye on her sister to make sure she didn't drink too much.

Meleoron activated 【Perfect Plan】 and God's Accomplice, and the siblings who had exhausted their Aura using the "kneading" method lay down on the futons one after another.

In deep fatigue and slumber—

"... Big sister"

"... What?"

"Thank you so much for today"

"... You're welcome"

I didn't say thank you.

No matter what it was for.

It wasn't needed. We both knew very well what thank you meant today.

While enjoying the cherry blossoms instead of a hot water bottle, I looked at Uranus lying beside me. I think I hadn't fallen asleep yet.

"Aisha"

"... What?"

"Are you having fun?"

Are you enjoying the game...?

Looking back on today...

Looking back on the past few days—...

It hasn't been easy.

But...

"I am having fun."

No lie. Having fun every day. There are all sorts of things, and the strategies for the game are also progressing.

I feel bad for Gon and the others, but if I had liked a game like this last time, I wouldn't feel so bad about Greed Island.

There is no reason for this not to be fun.

"... Are you having fun?"

That is all I care about.

I don't think he is bored.

However, the burden must be quite significant. Today I acted as the leader for a while to let his throat rest, but the burden of continuing on Greed Island will not be light.

Mental exhaustion is tormenting him, and he is leading us in the attack—I cannot understand the weight of the pressure on his shoulders.

I don't want him to be the only one suffering while I am having fun.

A burst of laughter came from the darkness.

"How interesting."
