Chapter 392 – Even in Shit Game-Like Events, Likeability Blooms.

“Just one bite for me.”

When I spoke to Miyuki, who was eating a small ice cream cone, she willingly held out her hand.
At the same time, a large mouth swallows the ice cream on the cone…

“Huh…?”

Miyuki, who was looking at the ice cream cone left behind with a surprised exclamation, glared at me with her bewildered eyes.

“What are you doing…!”

“It’s good.”

“Did you just swallow it…? “Doesn’t your head hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt.”

“It’s simple…”

Miyuki let out a weak laugh and wiped the soft ice cream from the corner of my mouth.
Hmm… It’s like a scene from a very peaceful and sweet love comedy.
Of course, it’s boring, but there needs to be some stereotypical cliches like this for a shit game like Dokiaka to survive.

I put my arm around Miyuki’s shoulder as she nibbled on the remaining ice cream, and walked with her around the city, which had a faint salty smell of the sea.
Afterwards, we returned to the hotel at a reasonable time.

Miyuki felt like her legs were a little sore, so she sat on the sofa in the corner of the lobby and massaged her calves.
I sat down next to Miyuki, put her legs on her lap, and instead gave her a massage and opened her mouth.

“Do I have to do something like student council work today?”

“No? “You don’t have to do it today.”

“Then do you want to go to the sea, get some fresh air, and then have lunch?”

“Yes, good.”

“Are you taking Mitsushima and Asahina with you?”

“Why are you two suddenly here?”

“I thought it would be fun to play together.”

“Okay…?”

Miyuki’s eyes widened at the end of her sentence.
A look that seems to be trying to understand my true intentions.
As I was massaging Miyuki’s legs as if nothing had happened, a positive answer flowed from her mouth.

“Okay then.”

For Miyuki, who was keeping Hiyori in check, she very readily agreed.
Why? Because of my attitude compared to Tetsuya this morning?
Or maybe Hiyori is starting to look at her a little differently because she says thank you so often?

Whatever it was, Miyuki’s change of heart was very welcome.
It wasn’t a drastic change, but it was a huge improvement compared to last time when Hiyori was thought of as a thorn in her eyes.
Of course, Miyuki may have other intentions, but this is enough for now.

“Then should we take a slightly larger mat for her?”

I answered Miyuki’s next question by shrugging her shoulders.

“Just connect the two together. “You can sit on the sand.”

“So sand gets into her underwear?”

“I’ll wash you.”

“Oh what…!”

Miyuki, who suddenly heard a sexual joke, pushed my arm.
Listening to the tone, it seems like he’s a little expectant, but I think he’ll be very satisfied if you focus on petting tonight.

With that in mind, I left a message for Hiyori as I went back to the room to change clothes with Miyuki.

[Where are you?]

[Ocean. Playing with friends.]

[We’ll be leaving in about 20 minutes. I’ll rent a parasol and tell you where to sit, so come over there when you’re all done.]

[Then I will go accordingly.]

[Come when everyone is done playing. You feel sorry for your friends.]

[We all had fun.]

[Aren’t you lying?]

[No? I really had fun, so what can I do!]

[Why are you angry?]

[I’m sorry♥]

The way she acts like she’s out of her mind is both funny and cute.
It feels like she played less with her friends, but she said she did it all with her mouth, so I guess that’s okay.

Hiyori’s friends, especially the men, will be disappointed, but it doesn’t matter.
She has no intention of taking care of even those who were left behind.
And those feelings became stronger because of Tetsuya’s actions today.

[Then, see you in 20 minutes.]

“Is the seat okay? “I thought all these places were gone.”

Miyuki’s impressions of the sea from the borrowed parasol.
I answered, sitting in a shady spot and laying out the various snacks I had bought.

“I was lucky enough to stay. “I guess the last time I offered a gift at the shrine had a good effect.”

“Your faith is very deep?”

“That’s what you’re saying.”

“When are the kids coming?”

“It’s about time.” “Do you want some snacks?”

“I don’t want to eat now. “Here he comes.”

Two women approaching from the direction Miyuki pointed.
The combination of blonde and light brown hair is quite impressive.

They were both wearing plain white t-shirts and shorts, not very wet.
Were they just having fun and talking?
I don’t know about Miho, but Hiyori is definitely wearing a swimsuit underneath.
It already feels like the inside of Hiyori’s t-shirt is transparent.

“Hello, Hanazawa-senpai.”

Did you like Miho, who bowed politely as soon as she arrived?
Miyuki smiled brightly and accepted her greeting.

“Hi?”

As Miyuki thinks highly of Miho, her reaction is bright.
How about inviting Miho over and having a foursome?
If she and I become a bridge between Miyuki and Hiyori, wouldn’t a very ugly picture come out?

After thinking about that for a moment, I gestured to Hiyori to say hello to her.
Then Hiyori nodded and said.

“Hello.”

“Okay. Hello to you too.”

He’s giving a rather quiet answer to Hiyori as well.
It can’t be said to be friendly, but it’s a big difference from the sunny atmosphere of the first day.
Great job, Miyuki.

“Come and sit down.”

Miho and Hiyori sat down next to each other with their hips pressed against each other as I pounded the mat with a sigh.
When Hiyori took out the board game board while looking at them, Hiyori’s eyes were filled with bewilderment.

“What is that?”

“Board game.”

“Why are you playing board games all of a sudden?”

“Have you tried this?”

“No…?”

“It will be fun.”

“No… What kind of sea do you have to come to to do this? “Board games can be played even in hotel lobbies.”

“There’s no charm there.”

“You sound like a grandfather.”

I put my index finger to my mouth and made a gesture to be quiet and opened the box.

Unlike Hiyori, who grumbled with a blank expression, Miho was showing interest in the board game.
Do you like healthy play? I might do really well.

If Hiyori and Miyuki suddenly go swimming, a conflict may arise.
They spray water on each other pretending not to do so intentionally.

Little by little, we are getting closer, but there is no need to rush things.
As Hiyori said, it’s definitely not a game suited for playing on a beach with the sea breeze, but if you play it, you’ll enjoy it.

“It’s because I can’t swim.”

Miyuki’s words as she placed her hand on my leg.
Hiyori’s eyes opened wide at that.

“You can’t swim? “Are you sure you can’t do it?”

“That’s not true, there was a time when something big almost happened at sea. So from then on, I became reluctant to go to the sea. Even if you go in, you will only go to the shallow end.”

“Is it so…? “I didn’t know that.”

Hiyori nodded slowly in agreement and lowered her eyes to her board game manual as if there was nothing she could do.
Even though she was a bit reluctant, should I say I’m glad she gave in anyway?
I’ll have to reward you later with a squeeze of the solar plexus.

“Oh, why do you only put dice in my casino! Are you doing this on purpose!? “I’m going to make that beggar!”

Hiyori gets angry.
Miyuki said, looking at her with her ridiculous smile.

“Is this a reasonable choice?”

“You should be thinking about winning. What if you just try to keep me in check!?”

“I’m doing it with the intention of winning. “When the round is over, I’ll have the most money, right?”

“Is it so?”

“Huh.”

“You’ve done this before, right?”

“Doesn’t exist. “It’s my first time too.”

“Does this sound like a lie?”

“It’s your first time with Mitsushima, but you’re doing well.”

“Are you calling me ignorant?”

“That’s not what I meant. “Why do you give meaning to something strange?”

Hiyori pouted and urged me to start quickly.
It’s nice to see that he’s truly immersed, unlike before, when he acted indifferently, but unlike what I had hoped, the situation is going in a direction where Miyuki has to keep Hiyori in check.

If this continues, I think Hiyori will continue to fuss.
She just needs to think about it a little more… It’s too bad.
I was thinking,

“Uh…?”

When the round was over and I checked everyone’s money, I opened my mouth slightly as my share was the smallest.
Why did it become like this? Was it a big deal that Miyuki kept me in check at the end?

“What? “I have more?”

Hiyori’s voice filled with ridicule after narrowly avoiding last place.
I scratched the back of my head, licked my lips, and expressed my regret.
I guess it was me, not Hiyori, who had to shake her head.

“I guess Matsuda-kun should take the punishment?”

I slowly got up from Miyuki’s sympathetic words, told everyone I would be right back, and headed to a cafe on the beach to buy drinks, which was a punishment.
I was a little anxious about leaving the three alone without me, but when I played the game, Hiyori and Miyuki seemed to get along quite well.

It seemed like he was joking.
The problem is that the prank is meant to scratch each other, but since Miho is a relief pitcher, there won’t be a big problem.

After getting the drinks everyone had requested and returning to the beach, I found our place quite noisy.

“I said no, but why do you keep getting soggy…!”

Hiyori is disgusted by a group of men approaching the mat.

Are you being hunted? There are three pretty women without a man, and the place is good for attracting attention, so it’s likely that people with their eyes on them will flock there.
However, Hiyori’s reaction was a bit like that.

“Oh, I don’t like it, my friend doesn’t like it, and my senior doesn’t like it either. “Go quickly.”

“Don’t do that, there are three of us, so together…”

“If you want to go hunting, do it at night with other people. “Don’t act like a slob.”

He was openly expressing his dislike for the topless men.
It wasn’t that that attitude was bad.
This is because it is very effective in dropping litter.

But, like the group that approached them now, people full of bravado who pretended to be strong when gathered together could easily cause anger if they did that.
Miyuki would have said she didn’t like it, but it seems like that situation came about because she didn’t say it as strongly as Hiyori.

First of all, in my eyes, Hiyori seemed to be protecting Miho and Miyuki.
This means that there is ample room for the two to become a little closer due to this incident.

However, the event was too much like a shit game.
Hiyori’s friend was like that yesterday, Tetsuya is like this today, and even now…
Why do things only make me frown?

Can’t we expect such a wholesome…Event that doesn’t involve men?
Instead of that old hunting cliché, the picture would have been much better if Miyuki had overcome the trauma and rescued Hiyori, who was struggling with a leg cramp in the middle of the water…

Since our foolish God hasn’t played the various Miyeonshi games, he probably didn’t think about it that far, so let’s be generous and understand.
Also, once this penance is over, you will be given a warm and sweet event.

With that thought in mind, I quickly walked towards the three people.
