Chapter 91 \nSylvio-niisanâs Sturdy Defense\năAre you practicing inside the house?ă
ăOf course weâre not. Weâre playing you know, just playing. Itâs Hit and Hide Jankenpon.ă
Sylvio-niisan â who came inside my room â saidăOf course, rightă as he gave me a clean-cut smile.
ăIf you can do such a sharp swing when youâre playing like this, you should you also practice seriously.ă
Eleonora-neesan said that to me who got up, but I ignored her.
ăIt has such a long name, but I can imagine the gist of it. The one who won in janken hit with the stick, while the one who lose put on the bowl on their head, right?ă
Sylvio-niisan curiously touched the hand-made cloth stick and the bowl.
Just by hearing the name alone, he understood the game. www. ihavesinnedtranslation.com
ăYes, thatâs right. But you can only aim for the head okay. Wanna try?ă
Yes, if I fight with Sylvio-niisan right now, then I should be able to make Eleonora-neesan and Sylvio-niisan fight each other after that.
Iâm already satisfied that I was able to hit Eleonora-neesanâs head.www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Whatâs next is to somehow make these two fight with each other, and I can just run away as they fought.
That way, I can escape naturally from this place without anyone being suspicious of me.
Itâs not a good idea to confront Eleonora-neesan. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Since my head will just get struck with the stick again and again. And using all of her strength at that.
Itâs truly convenient for me that Sylvio-niisan came inside at such a timing.
ăUn, okay. Guess Iâll try.ă
Because of that, Sylvio-niisan and I will be having a showdown.
Just like before, the both of us sit facing each other.
For some reason, Eleonora-neesan is standing diagonally behind me.
ăSpeaking of which, when will this play end?ă
Well now, just when weâre about to begin, Sylvio-niisan asks a reasonable question.
Come to think of it, just now I played this game without setting for the victory condition, I just played the game.
That is to say, that the game will continue until both parties are satisfied.
Which means that the battle between Elonora-neesan and I will not end with just a few games.
If Sylvio-niisan didnât pass by by chance, Iâd probably have to play the game with Eleonora-neesan for dozens of times until she was satisfied. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
What a close call. Iâm feeling truly grateful to Sylvio-sama.
ăThatâs right isnât it. Then if you hit the opponentâs head three times, itâs your win. And you canât dodge when you lose okay.ă
ăUn, okay.ă
ăWhatâs the person who dodge earlier saying. If you dodge, Iâm the one who will hit you in Sylvioâs stead alright?ă
Eleonora-neesan â who stands diagonally behind me â holds a towel in her hand as she makes a whip-like sound with it. It feels like Iâll be hit from behind at any moment.
I see, so this sister of mine wanted to watch me so I didn't dodge.
The sound of the towel diagonally behind me is really frightening.\nWouldnât it be really painful if that were to hit me like *whack* or *smack*?
ăWell then, start?ă
While being scared of the horror behind me, the signal was given.
ăăRocăźk Papeăźr, Scissors!ăă
Me, Rockăź.
Sylvio-niisan, Scissors.
Yosh, I have the first move!
Just like when facing Eleonora-neesan, at the same time as I begin to move, I use Psychic magic to pull the stick to my hand. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Then I tried to hit Sylvio-niisanâs head with a flowing movement using the stickâŚâŚ.but Sylvio-niisan was already in a defensive posture with the bowl on his head.
ăWh, whatt!?ă
I stop moving and shout in surprise as I saw such an unexpected situation occur.
Th, this guy is so fast. He wears the bowl just like a turtle.
ăâŚâŚ.activating Sylvio Barrier, huh.ă
ăLooks like he did. I wonder if I could hit him at the last moment? ă
If it were Eleonora-neesan, she would make it in time. She understood that much just by swinging her hand a little bit, huh.
ăErr, I just wear the bowl normally.ă
With a wry smile, Sylvio-niisan took the bowl from his head.
When I tried to raise the stick overhead and bring it down, he wore the bowl again with lightning speed.
ăHey, was there a need to do so?ă
Sylvio-niisan glanced with his blue eyes, and said that while looking unhappy.
You, are you a shellfish or something? www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
ăSorry sorry, it was so fast that I wanted to see how it happened. I wonât do it again.ă
ăYou surprised me you know, so donât do it again okay?ă
I put the stick on the floor, and the game resumed when Sylvio-niisan also put the bowl on the floor.
ăăRocăźk Papeăźr, Scissors!!ăă
Me, Rockăź.
Sylvio-niisan, Paperăź.
Not good, considering the speed of Sylvio-niisanâs defense a moment ago, his attack speed might be the same as that. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I immediately reach out to take the bowl, and bring it to my head.
If it were as fast as before, then it wouldnât be strange if the stick were to come close to my head shortly.
I close my eyes, frantically covering my head with the bowl.
Did I make it in time? Then the moment when I thought so, thereâs a light impact and a sound from the bowl *bsh*.
ăWhat are you doing Sylvio. You had enough time to brandish the stick and hit him just now right?ă
At the same time as I opened my eyes, I can hear Eleonora-neesanâs unhappy voice.
You really want to see me being hit that much, huhâŚâŚ..\năNo but, it might look like that but, I swing it while exerting quite a bit of strength on the stick you know?ă
ăYou swing it like this, like this, see!ă
Eleonora-neesan rolled up and swung the towel, trying to show him how to do it.
ăEh? Like this?ă
ăWrong!ă
Then Sylvio-niisan tried to imitate it by swinging the stick, but it seems that itâs not how itâs done.
Apparently, Sylvio-niisan only specializes in defense. As expected from Sylvio Barrier.
Maybe, this gameâŚ.is going to be a long one. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Will my endurance last, or will his defense be broken, or should I break the Sylvio Barrier first?
If it becomes so, then I will be at a disadvantage.
Itâs not like I particularly wanted to be able to hit Sylvio-nissan, but if I were to lose, then I might have to remain here.
And when I remain here, then my next opponent will be Eleonora-neesanâŚâŚ..
But if I win, I will have the right to raise an objection to that. The loser will not be given such rights.
In other words, I canât lose this fight. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
ăUnderstood. Iâll try to keep that in mind as much as possible.ă
While I was thinking about that, it seems that the lecture over there is over.
Sylvio-niisanâs face looked a little bit tired as he put the stick on the floor.
ăYosh, letâs start the next round alright?ă
ăăRocăźk Papeăźr, Scissors!ăă
Me, Paperăź.
Sylvio-niisan, Rockăź.
All right, now itâs my turn.
Eleonora-neesan might be suspicious as she looked at me sharply, but thereâs nothing I can do about it.
I pick up the stick by activating Psychic magic a bit far from before.
ââhowever, at that time, Sylvio-niisan had already worn the bowl.
ăNaaa!?ăWhat the heck?ă
This is a cheat, a cheat I say! Thereâs no way I can beat him like this right!
ăJust now, did the stick just move on its own?ă
Behind me, Eleonora-neesan bent over and said that doubtfully.
I tried to hide it with my hand as much as I could, but it seems that she became suspicious because the timing was too fast. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
In Eleonora-neesanâs eyes, when my hand reached for the stick it might look as if the stick were being pulled toward my hand a little.
Itâs better to ignore it now.
Though if it were Nord-tousan or Elna-kaasan, they would realize it.
I have to take the risk to that extent, but even though I have increased my speed, the opponent defended faster than me. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
ăTake this! This!ă
ăAhahaha, you can only hit once you knowă\n\nSylvio-niisan, Rockăź.
I moved the bowl with Psychic just like before.
Because of that, the bowl shifted slightly from its original position. Thus, Sylvio-niisanâs finger pushed the bowl as if hitting it, making the bowl move farther. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
ăNo!ă
ăDie! Sylvio-niisan!ă
The moment I believed in my victory, a voice could suddenly be heard.
ăI wonder why is it so noisy, you even use magic, just what are you doing?ă
It was Nord-tousan, who came to see whatâs going on after hearing the disturbance we caused.
ăâŚâŚâŚahă
ăăâŚâŚâŚmagic?ăă
Two piercing glares are shot toward me, who is currently stuck in my posture of raising the stick.
Then, Eleonora-neesan and Sylvio-niisan turned their eyes toward Nord-tousan.
Wait Nord-tousan, donât say something unnecessaryâŚâŚ..!
ăMm? I felt magic power coming from Al you see.ă
A, ahăź! This Dragon Slayer is really.. Even when I was a baby, he could feel the flow of my magic power. How did he do that?ăWas it the intuition of a first-class adventurer, or the intuition of someone strong?Â
ăIâve been thinking that something was strange since some time ago, so you used magic, huh!? It was your doing when the stick move by itself before, right!ă
Hearing Nord-tousanâs words, Eleonora-neesan looked back and was indignant as she stamped on the floor *dann*. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
You can clearly see the shaking caused by her anger are transmitted to her reddish brown ponytail.
Because I hit her at the start with the help of magic.
ăThen, the reason the bowl escape from my grasp a while ago is also because of that?ă
Maybe Sylvio-niisan is actually suspicious about that, he turned his gaze and stared at me.
Alfried is cornered. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
For now I silently hit Sylvio-niisanâs head, and become the winner of this game.
ăItâs my win, okay. Next, Sylvio-niisan will play with Eleonora-neesan. I need to go to the toiletâŚâŚ..ă
ăWait a minute, Al.ă
After saying that, I was about to leave the room, but then my shoulder was grabbed.
Itâs obvious whoâs the one grabbing my shoulder.
I want to go far away using TeleportâŚâŚâŚ
At most I will be forced to become Eleonora-neesanâs opponent, I wonder if Iâm going to be trashed.
When I was thinking like that and having a distant look in my eyes, Eleonora-neesan grinned while saying something outrageous. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
ăI have a good idea. You will play with tousan after this.ă
