Chapter 331

Ah. Strawberry jelly, not bad. The cool texture against the Hot Spring is irresistible. I was worried about making strawberry daifuku, but it turns out this was the correct answer.

"You, you eat so much, you are still in your stomach..."

"Sweetness is another stomach.

You eat Meleoron, don't you?"

"Sweetness is another matter.

That is to say, it is full of cream just like you...

I am cute, aren't I?"

Meleoron, sitting at a table near the shop, is eating a small melon jelly. It is a size a child would eat. It looks delicious.

"You often eat melons, don't you? Do you like them?"

"Only Meleoron?"

Hahaha, we laughed. Talking about this kind of nonsense is really fun.

"But, aren't those children scary?"

"Yes. I think we are laid back."

At the shop near the Hot Spring entrance, we are waiting for the two of us to come up. I finished the drink I bought and was eating like this, but the two still haven't come. There are signs for the men's bath, I guess they just soaked for a long time.

"Hmm, why are you flirting?

What will you do? Will you just wait like this?"

"If it's too late, I will go back to my room, but...

I am worried, let's wait a little longer."

Uranus currently has the highest combat power among the members, but Uranus is also the one most concerned about health issues. It wouldn't be strange if you got sick in the Hot Spring.

"Shouldn't we go over and check directly?

It's just too late now."

Yes? No need to wait.

"That is correct.

Not to mention a Mixed Bath, isn't it a crime to do this intentionally without the other party's consent?"

"Let me see.

I can't say 'I can be seen by people now because someone made me tremble all over without my consent, can I?'"

Hmm, Gu.... Damn, no. Meleoron is good at these kinds of topics.

"Please don't repeat that story.

Anyway, you just need to call out to me, but you can't peek at me."

"Yes yes.

If you wait a little longer and it doesn't appear, can we?"

After a while, the two came over. We noticed it too, so we waited for the two to come over from this side.

Sim, who was with Uranus, looked at the empty Container on the table,

"Ah. I was eating something that looked delicious."

"That's because you guys were late.

I just had a drink and jelly."

This pervert is bullish about his position. Of course, I don't eat or drink.

Uranus patted Sim on the shoulder,

"Well, it is indeed too late.

Sim, if you want to eat something, you can order something."

"Yes!"

Sim, wearing a yukata, floated over and ran to the shop counter. It is cash.

"It's too late, is something the matter?"

"Is it?... No, it's a secret.

I have a lot of trouble, so I'm talking to you."

"Hey Uranus! I told you to keep it a secret!"

"Oops, sorry.

I won't say it again."

"What's wrong with you?"

"You, you heard the conversation just now, you said you wouldn't talk."

"It's about Sim.

You also have problems, didn't you tell me?"

"... Secret."

Is this a secret between the two of you? I'm curious, but it's useless if you don't tell me.... I'm curious.

"What are you going to do now?"

"For the time being, I will tell that couple that we have finished bathing and you can come in at any time.

After that, you can move freely."

"Is it okay not to talk about it tomorrow?"

"My thoughts haven't been sorted out yet.

... I have something to say to that Bacapple."

Fine, there is one more big event to convince those two about. I must cooperate as well.

"After you two leave the Hot Spring, are you still going to try to persuade me?"

"Is it only this once?"

"Regardless, I will tell you to wake up and wait, because I have something to discuss with you."

"Are you going to talk alone?"

"Hmm... I haven't decided yet.

If you ask it like that, Aisha, you intend to participate too, right?"

"Yes, that is what I mean.

If I am not here when the two of you convince me to propose some conditions, it will be troublesome."

"I think Uranus and I should go to their room to talk."

"Why not?"

"The Ba couple gets along very well, don't they?"

I glared at the lecher who had successfully interrupted.

"Who is Bacapple!"

"Don't get mixed up with those guys! In many ways!"

No. This is correct. In many ways.

The two talked about various things while going to soak in the Hot Spring—after the two entered the women's bath, Uranus placed two tables in the shop Together, spread out six Binders, and stood there lost in thought.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, it's fine.

After this matter is over, I will consider the persuasion."

You can leave the mental work to me.... Then I cannot relax. That is why I feel I cannot replace you...

At the very least, when I persuade that couple to return to reality, I should anticipate what kind of demands they will make...

"Haaa. Happy."

"Although it is a Hot Spring, I am a little tired..."

Bell walked out of the women's bath looking radiant, while Motarike walked out of the women's bath.

"Motarike is tired, did something happen?"

"No, it's Molly.

I am trying to wake up early. What are you embarrassed about?"

"Of course, you couldn't settle down in the women's bath.

I wanted to soak in the hot water alone, but..."

Oh yes. The best.

The couple wearing yukata looked at the two Binders on the table,

"Have you organized your cards?"

"Finished."

"Okay. Booked.

Molly, let's go buy something there."

"Yes, yes... books."

"You can do as you please, but don't forget to tell me later, then go to sleep."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Then, as the couple headed to the shop, a voice came.

"Ah..."

"Come on, don't cry."

It seemed she had returned from the game corner with her older sister and for some reason started crying.

"What's wrong?

Were you forced to cry by the lecher again?"

"Hey, Aisha!"

I smiled at the protesting Meleoron. Hehe, this is revenge for earlier.

"I won't let you cry.

Seam..."

"Uranus. I couldn't clear that game."

"You, don't cry like that..."

"No!

When I do it, my sister says weird things to disturb me!"

"Hey. You made me cry, didn't you?"

"No, it's Sim who is angry!"

It's chaotic... well, peace is good.

"So, what is the most important game?"

"Hmm...

○ out of the lake? I don't know if it is..."

"Ah..."

Do not destroy the blocks. It looks simple, but you must know.

You don't know how to turn the knob anyway, so you'll kill it in seconds, right?"

"Because!"

"Ah, fine, fine. I'll teach you the trick, just don't hit me."

"Ani, what's wrong?"

The couple returned from the store, Mr. Bell with french fries in his mouth asking for something. The chaos increased.

"Nothing else, just tell me how to play."

"Cloudy... ah, there is an old-fashioned Game Console in the corner.

Are you kidding?"

"Now?

I really don't understand, but this was last year's hit game."

──I don't understand what you are doing.

Uranus continued to return the ball bouncing at extreme speed on the game screen with a small bar. He turned the knob in his hand carefully, thinking it was a precision machine. I don't know what I'm doing.

Mr. Motarike tilted his head,

"Is this that kind of game?

This is completely different from the speed in my memory."

"……Maybe it's a modified chassis.

Oh. What is that? Could it be that the difficulty was increased on the premise that a Nen-user would play it? I don't need that kind of consideration.

Mr. Bell showed me while trembling,

"No no no, is this your first time doing this?

As disgusting as expected."

"Don't call me ugly. It's just that bray*out isn't that fast, and other Destroyers are quite normal. I just started playing this game itself—hey, this is dangerous."

No. Even when I speak it's so disgusting... of course, when I play fighting games, I feel like I'm showing off my leeway. And there seems to be a gap... a child wearing a fluttering yukata wouldn't do this.

"Uranus, how did you do it?"

"Ah...

You don't have to keep turning this knob. Turn it slightly. If you move it all at once, you will miss the target, and it's easy to accelerate, so predict where the ball will bounce in advance, and put the bar there."

"How can I do that...?"

"Training."

"Uh..."

"You can tell just by looking, right? How much to turn, what timing, how to move accurately, etc., it's not a big deal. You can know how it will bounce back if you turn it. You did it. Death.

It's even better as long as you know what to practice."

Dissatisfied Seam. Well, no matter how much I practice, I don't think I'll improve much.

"How long have you been doing this?"

"Don't do that—Iyo... sorry...

... Oh, that's fine. Seam, switch with me."

"Eh eh eh!?"

"You won't get good if you don't do it, right? Practice."

"Look, Seam. Training."

"Big sister, don't say bad things!"

Wow. Seam, you don't like Training? I knew you thought so.

Urged by Uranus who left the seat, Seam sat down reluctantly. I turned my attention to Uranus, who had his arms crossed and was looking down at the game screen.

"So, how long have you worked at it?"

"That's why I don't do this...

I do this to change the pace occasionally. I'm just fiddling with the knob at hand."

"Show me that kind of play?

You don't have the Sight Vision to chase high-speed balls, the adjustment and timing of turning the knob, or even the Prediction of the trajectory of repeated reflections?"

"Hmm...

I think that's what games are. Especially the action series."

"A bit!

I was distracted and threw it away!"

"Sorry.

But after a few returns, the bar shrank, right? Then it's just a matter of time.

It's okay, keep doing it."

"Uh."

Seam, don't rush. Well, I hope you still like it.

"Huhu huhu...

Can I go back to my room as soon as possible?"

After Seam sank, Motarike also accepted the challenge, and although a bit sticky, he still sank. When Seam did it again, Mr. Bell yawned, and the game ended.

"I don't mind, but you haven't slept well, have you?"

"Do you have anything to talk about?"

"How long do you intend to take?"

"I will do it as quickly as possible. So please wait a moment."

"Fine, I understand.

Molly, let's go."

"I want to do it one more time, but...

Alright."

Saying this, the two slowly rose from the game corner and came to their own room.

We remained behind, looking up at the wall clock in the game corner. Before 9:00? I still have time, but I cannot relax too much.

"What are you doing, Ouranos?"

"I am a bit worried...

Aisha, you are going to go to those two's room with me, right?"

"Yes, that is what I mean."

"Meleoron and Shim want to relax in their room, don't they?"

"That is correct."

"Yes.

Ah, wait a moment. What about Sakura?"

Yes?... Ah, I see. Don't worry.

"That is correct.

I don't know when the persuasion will end, so if I call Sakura and entrust her to Xin to go talk to her, by the time Aisha returns, Sakura might have already disappeared."

Even so, if I start persuading the two of them without calling Sakura, if it takes too long, Shim might have already fallen asleep by the time I return to the room.

You must be very tired, so you don't know when you will fall asleep, right?"

"Yes..."

"Can Aisha endure it today?"

"No, please give me Sakura as well."

"... I don't know what made you say so much, but then why don't you stop participating in the persuasion?"

"That is why..."

"Then what should I do?

As expected, I don't have the energy to call you twice..."

"..."

Can I offer my own Suggestion?"

"What?"

"Why don't you ask Niyanko to persuade the three of you and one of them?

Shim should also participate."

"Me too?"

"Even if you don't participate in the conversation, just being there is enough.

If it is like that, you can persuade him while still loving Niyanko."

Ouranos was very dissatisfied with Meleoron's proposal.

"Hmm...

I want to show them Sakura, but this is amazing resistance...

Especially Bell. That guy will definitely say no."

Hahaha, I also think so; it is impossible for Mr. Bell to look at Sakura without any reaction.

"If you have another Suggestion, why not refuse?

Or should I try to persuade you one more time?"

"That is also...

Are you two okay?"

"I agree with Meleoron's plan."

"I am also fine, but...

Will your sister be alone in the room?"

"I am fine, don't worry about me.

I will have a Beer first, then go to sleep."

"..."

Sorry."

Ouranos scratched his forehead with a distressed expression on his face.
