While the sound of calm waves resounds on the beach, we take some distance and stare at each other.
Eleonora-neesan is in front of me, and Luna-san is a little bit to the side. Sylvio-niisan is beside me, and Eric is at the back. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Only one person can survive here.
Fufufu, Eric and Luna-san are used to playing on the beach so they are probably confident in their skill, but theyâll be in a fix if they underestimate me. Iâve fought against the greedy, adult adventurers in the Kaguraâs open-air bath. So Iâm good at splashing water accurately at othersâ faces and weak spots.
And whatâs more, this time we are using seawater, giving more damage when it enters oneâs nose or eyes. I donât feel like I will lose in this water-splashing match.
However, itâs better to have insurance for anything.
ăSylvio-niisan, letâs beat Eleonora-neesan this timeă
ăRight. We might be able to beat neesan if itâs the two of us in this water-splashing matchă
As I talk to Sylvio-niisan - who is beside me - in secret, a favorable answer came.
Normally, we are both subjected to terrible things while we practice. And so we have to at least respond in kind at times like this
As Sylvio-niisan and I smile at each other, Eleonora-neesan - who is facing us - makes a suggestive sound ăHmăŒmă.
ăItâs fine if the both of you work together, you know? I will take care of you both anywayă
ăâŠâŠEric can also join them. It will be easier to separate men and womenă
Why are our opponents so full of confidence?
Either way, I knew that I am being lock-on and targeted by Eleonora-neesan, and I have no plan to attack my fellow male comrades. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
If anything, Iâll be saved from trouble if there are no interruptions from Sylvio-niisan or Eric. The problem would be that even Luna-san will become a clear enemy, but I should be able to manage somehow by using Eric as a shield.
ăYosh, then Eric will also join us!ă
ăYeah, fine. That will make it easier for me too. I donât have to be wary of your underhanded tricks after allă
This guy, if he was the last person standing, Iâm gonna make arms of water and drag him down underwater. Thatâs the moment I decided his fate.
In any case, this made it easier to understand the division team.
ăMenâs team and Womenâs team! If you say surrender then you have to accept your loss and leave!ă
ăI have no complaints about thată
ăâŠâŠunderstoodă
Eleonora-neesan and Luna-san nodded when I told them the simple rules.
And it looks like Sylvio-niisan and Eric - who stands beside me - also have no particular problem with that.
ăThen, begină
After I raise the signal to start, Sylvio-niisan and Eric start running to the sea.
I also followed them as I run diagonally behind Sylvio-niisan secretly, I plan to attack with a delay.
Fufu, no matter how strong Eleonora-neesan is, she wonât be able to defend herself from two directions.
ăHmph, closing the distance between us so suddenly is stupidă
Eleonora-neesan says in an amazed tone when I was closing the distance between us while chuckling to myself. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Whatâs with that lines you say? Itâs as though itâs like when you rashly challenge a magician head-on from the front......
As I feel strangely uneasy about it, Eleonora-neesan starts to run for two, three steps forward.
Right, itâs just like a run-up before a soccer player kicks the ball.
I have a bad feeling about this and my intuition is telling me that I will die at this rate, so I hurriedly stopped running, and go around toward Eleonora-neesanâs left side.
Eleonora-neesan - who has done the run-up - kicks the seawater up with great force just like that.
Immediately after, a mass of seawater was being shot like a cannonball from her feet.
ăUbbuh!?ă
In front of a speed that canât be caught with eyes and overwhelming mass, Sylvio-niisan - who was in front of it - was quickly swallowed by the water and blown away.
ăSy, Sylvio-niisaaăŒn!ă
ăAlfried! Donât turn your eyes away from your enemy!ă
Eric loudly shouted at me when I try to turn around to look behind.
While keeping Eleonora-neesan in my line of sight, I give a sidelong glance at Eric to check on his situation.
Despite that place being filled with seawater, Luna-san is running around in an easy manner as if there was no resistance whatsoever, and moreover, she was fighting back against Eric.
Luna-san is circling around Ericâs flank and kicking up the seawater from there.
Then, even if sheâs not at Eleonora-neesanâs level, she still shot an absurd amount of seawater on the sea when it comes to splashing water.
Reading that, Eric swiftly escapes from her range, and at the same time, he scoops water from below him and launches it toward Luna-sanâs eyes.
However, it was prevented by the protective wall-like seawater that arise because of Luna-san stomping on the water. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
ăâŠâŠwhatâs this? Isnât this different from the water splashing game in the sea that I know of?ă
The one I know of are the ones like in the anime or dorama where we throw water at each other using our hands where people goes  ăKyaa!ă or ăDarn it, now youâve done it!ă.
I knew that it wonât be that kind of sweet situation in actuality, but this is too different from my imagination.
Comparing this with the water-splashing match between me with Irvine and Mort seems like it was just playing around. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
ăNow, Al. Are you prepared?ă
While I was shuddering at the high level of the game in the sea, Eleonora-neesan is getting closer while smiling fearlessly.
I glance at the place behind me as I check on it, while unconsciously retreating from that pressure.
At the edge of my vision, there was a Sylvio-niisan-like thing floating in the water.
We are currently in the shallow water, and heâs floating while facing upwards so we shouldnât worry about him suffocating then.
For the Shield to be sunk without having the time to surrender was unexpected.
Now that I can no longer use the Shield, itâs impossible to challenge Eleonora-neesan directly.
If itâs about the thing that I can do, is the technique that I develop with Torr and Asmo, and tempered in Kagura, throwing water into her eyes to blind her.
Even if the opponent is someone with a large build, the parts inside their eyes and nose should be their weak points! If I patiently aimed at those spots, I should be able to see my chance to win this!
As I tell myself that in my mind, I deliberately rush at her from my current position.
Immediately after, Eleonora-neesan kicks up the waterâs surface with a daring smile on her face. And, seawater that boasts an overwhelming mass like a cannonball comes flying toward me.
However, since there was the motion of kicking up, then the seawater will only fly up straight.
Furthermore, itâs easy to measure the timing, maybe itâs because of the momentum when she kicked the water. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I splendidly avoid it by taking a step away from the water. After that, I go around toward Eleonora-neesanâs flank, aimed, and sent water flying at her eyes.
Itâs a technique to shoot out the compressed seawater inside my hands powerfully. A technique where I put whole strength into it so the water shot out will not spread and itâs something so powerful that it makes even grown men like Irvine and Mort scream. Moreover, Iâm using seawater this time.
She wonât get off scot-free from it even if itâs Eleonora-neesan who got hit by it.....!
ăHmph!ă
ăWhatt!?ă
It was an attack of seawater with the intention of defeating her in one shot, but Eleonora-neesan evade it by only turning her face slightly.
So if the move I have confidence in got avoided then the impact on me will be huge.
No, it was just a coincidence. Aiming at the otherâs eyes in water splashing is the standard practice. Even the idiot Eleonora-neesan understands that.
If I aimed at her nose, ears, or mouth and disturb her, I should be able to do something one way or another.
I pulled myself together and quickly sent seawater flying toward her. Moving around her while aiming randomly at her eyes, nose, ears, and mouth while occasionally mixing some feints.
However, all of them were kept in check by Eleonora-neesan, dodged, defended with her hand, or they just doesnât reach her at all.
ăâŠâŠtha, thatâs ridiculuousă
ăYouâve always been persistently aiming at my eyes, nose, and ears since a long time ago when we played at the river. So I have already become used to your attacks you knowă
Darn it, why did the past me reveal my hands that much?
No, but in my memory in the past, that was the only opportunity for me to counterattack so it may be unavoidable I used that.
ăAlso, your attacks are aimed precisely at the weak points so itâs easy to deal withă
Although the weak points are on the face, there are several places though..... No, thinking with Eleonora-neesanâs reflexes and motor skill, itâs simple attacks for her, then?
An older sister with a high spec when it comes to moving her body as ever.
ăNow then, Iâm going to attack next, okay?ă
Un, I donât feel like I have a chance to win at all.
