The first game Arsien prepared, Magic Dodgeball, has ended.

She clapped inwardly and laughed.

‘Really. ‘It’s an amazing comeback victory.’

When Karssein saved another lady without notice, I thought it would be a bittersweet ending, but in reality, it wasn’t like that.

Harnier, who witnessed the scene with her own eyes, caught fire and her power increased even further, and the angry woman’s emotions pushed the opposing players so hard that they were eliminated.

The unexpected element of reversal was created not by anything else but by an insensitive man.

‘And to top it all off, it ends so spectacularly. You really don’t have any players.’

The risk of being eliminated due to carelessness.

A man who blocks an attacking object with his whole body.

I can’t even count how many women cried out in amazement while watching that scene.

In a situation where the hearts of those watching were captured, imagination ran wild as to what the person involved would feel like. This may have started a rumor in social circles.

Sigh.

Arsien glances at the two while explaining the next game.

A knee pillow for the exhausted man who risked his life to save the woman.

The man’s ears are still dull, but the woman’s ears can be seen subtly turning red.

Arcien grinned.

‘Hmm. ‘Do you think it would be okay to slightly change the game schedule?’

It’s a shame to see something like that only once.

“Don’t be upset even if the score you obtained is low. There are still many games left. So, this game will be volleyball!”

Previously, I had prepared for the triathlon as an individual event, but I decided to change the content of the event a little.

***

▶Emergency Mission I. Magical Dodgeball has ended.◀

▶Game winning points are awarded.◀

▶ Earn the most defense points and earn additional points considering the time you lasted. ◀

After the first event is over.

▶Emergency Mission II. Magic Volleyball has ended.◀

▶Game winning points are awarded.◀

▶We ranked first in contribution ranking. Earn extra points◀

The next sport was designated as volleyball.

Since it is a volleyball that uses mana, it seemed a little different from what I was used to, but I quickly got used to it as my body got used to it.

We happened to be on the same team as Harnier and worked together again, and I played the game by recalling the information I had read in Bing’s previous physical education textbook.

▶Emergency Mission III. The magic tail catch has ended.◀

▶Emergency Mission IV. The magic sand castle battle has ended.◀

▶Emergency Mission V. Magical Power ─── has ended.◀

…

…

Next game.

Another next game.

Several matches were played.

In the beginning, I thought I would just ignore it, but I couldn’t do that because we ended up on the same team as Harnier every time.

For some reason, Harnier’s motivation was burning brightly.

Anyway, regardless of gender, nobles were not very well trained. Occasionally aspiring knights or nobles who received active knighthood were a bit different, and when they met someone who used considerable power, such as Claire, Arina, or Flora, the magical interference was annoying.

The result of the last game ending with repeated wins and losses.

It was only then that I was able to become confident in the questions that had spread from doubt.

‘Oh. They are pure fraudsters.’

-This game must be played in teams of two!

-2 people in a group?

-No way…you mean men and women?

-okay. You can’t proceed unless a man and a woman become a pair.

After the first game, volleyball started to feel strange.

During the tournament, men and women must play volleyball in teams of two.

okay. It may have been the originally designated sport.

Doesn’t the team event change depending on how the team is formed? In that respect, there is no problem. The maximum number of people rule also makes sense if it is a small group.

But what next?

– Male-female couples or male-female couples are prohibited from holding the tail as it is unbalanced.

Aren’t they changing the rules as they please?

-Participation as a team of multiple people or as individuals is permitted, but it would be a good idea to consider how the magic sand castle will react to your mana.

Aren’t they intentionally making sure that the male and female couples use their power best?

These are things you might think are not coincidences.

‘No, yes. ‘You could say that these rules were made with a certain degree of fairness in mind by making a hundred concessions.’

however. The last one isn’t real. uh?

In a race where obstacles are flying, don’t they ask you to do 2-person 3-angles?

Since it’s not enough to hold on alone on a slope, don’t they say that the two of us should hold on together?

Isn’t it said that a man should carry a woman up a mountain path?

No matter how you look at the sport, it probably wasn’t originally supposed to be comprised of two people per team. Never.

This was a move by the two people to openly put me and Harnier together.

“Hoo. Is Prince Karssein number one? Well, I’ve been consistently filling up my scores well. It wasn’t that surprising.”

no. Look! Princess.

Does it make sense to push it so blatantly? yes?

“Mmmmm. yes. Starting from the team competition, regardless of the number of people, you again became the final winner in the 2-person group. It’s a natural result.”

hey. Prince Florence?

Did you know that they suddenly changed a specific sport and made it a team of two? yes?

-Sigh.

These people really are.

I sighed as I looked at Arcien and Florence smiling happily.

‘…Well, it was still quite fun.’

I had only bad memories of the school trip and thought I had long since forgotten about it, but that wasn’t really the case.

Now and then, those who didn’t deserve the results would give me disapproving looks, but whatever.

-It was fun. right?

It was a unique experience working with Ji-eun, who happened to be on the same team.

“It was fun. Right?”

To that question, I gave the same answer this time.

“Yes. It was fun.”

-Tiring!

▶All emergency missions have been completed.◀

▶Rewards are paid according to ranking.◀

***

Some nobles who didn’t really deserve this result immediately gave me a disapproving look.

It’s the same now as it was then.

I can hear it all, you bastards. uh? Even though I’m only looking this way, I can hear what you’re thinking.

‘But what can you do?’

It’s a competition prepared by the imperial family.

I didn’t do anything wrong and I didn’t need to do anything, so what can I do?

If you ask me, did you also live in Korea and become possessed?

“Phew. Can I look forward to it a little?”

“Ah, yes.”

While I was glaring at him, Harnier leaned against my body.

However, their expressions immediately became distorted.

“Chiit!”

“Eright, wow!”

“The sesame seeds are very roasted. Stir fry.”

“We all play games together, but some people come for dating. Tsk.”

…Oh.

Isn’t that what you meant?

Maybe I’m thinking of something wrong?

I scratched the back of my head and looked away.

“But we are tied for first place. Princess.”

In the midst of this, a nobleman raised his hand and raised a question.

“I heard that on this school trip, the prizes will vary depending on your ranking… What happens if that happens?”

The nobles enter into doubt together.

“I see. Since there are two people with a tied score… should we say that there should be two people in first place?”

“No! 1st place and 2nd place are completely different. Unless you get the highest score, it is correct to mark them both as second place.”

“Then doesn’t that mean there is no winning? Who receives the winning prize?”

“Wouldn’t it be okay to split the first and second prizes equally?”

“Sharing the prize. That’s ridiculous!”

no. I still feel bad because I feel like I was tricked by the imperial family.

Why are you suddenly making such a fuss about dividing the rankings among yourself? What kind of shit is this!

-match!

At that moment, Arsien clapped his hands to attract the attention of the nobles.

“I understand what you mean. okay. It won’t work if there are two first place winners, and it won’t work if there are two second place winners. Goods are also indivisible.”

Look at it! A group of people nod their heads.

A clear conclusion was reached. But at this moment, I am losing strength…

Even this was a ploy by Arcien and Florence.

…Because two people.

I’m smiling. Me and Harnier took turns looking at each other.

‘I can’t just suffer like this.’

If you continue to suffer, you will end up in endless trouble.

“Then shouldn’t we decide first and second place here?”

“That’s the best way, but…”

“By what route? Are you two going to show a new game together?”

“There will definitely be a problem. One side cannot be too advantageous, and one side cannot be too disadvantageous.”

no. There’s no need to play in the first place. You guys.

“I’ll just take second place.”

***

That’s how the commotion between first and second place ended.

Although Arsien and Florence did not go as planned, they finished today’s schedule with a satisfied smile, as if they were quite satisfied with my decision.

And the prize was fishing.

“Uh… a campfire pass.”

“Hotel resort voucher and spa voucher…?”

“The camping tent and lighting voucher are products…”

These are things that are not worth writing about alone. These tickets are easy to use with others.

what. It was roughly things like that.

Even 1st and 2nd place prizes included various food ingredients and a ticket to a barbecue party that should never be missed in this atmosphere.

Since each and every item is an important element of a school trip, it is safe to say that there is no such thing as a product.

“Disappointment? Everyone playing together. My brother and I think that we are a product in itself.”

Although the test was an individual contest, he gave a pretty good speech saying that boys and girls of similar age are just friends.

I think the student council president and vice president just said those words and treacherously didn’t give me the prize.

…Let’s just say it’s my mood and ignore it.

Anyway, after everyone had a chance to end the day happily, it was free time.

Bright red meat placed on a blazing grill.

Preparing a campfire is an essential part of a barbecue party.

Fireworks. recreation. Even small-scale recreation.

The night of the school trip was approaching in a way that was quite familiar to me.

The bright sun gradually sets, creating a red sunset.

The sea and sandy beach, which were starting to burn red, had their own charm.

Listening to the sound of the sea rushing in, crushing the white sand, I was able to relax for the first time in a while.

“Hmm! Karsein. You were here?”

When I looked back, I saw Harnier putting his fist to his mouth and clearing his throat.

But that look…

“Can I sit next to you?”

“Ah, yes.”

You can’t do this.

I was lost for a moment, but quickly came to my senses and quickly turned to another topic.

“When I had some free time, I was lost in thought for a while.”

“…Really?”

Shoot-

“Then do you want to walk for a while? Because I have something to say.”

“Hmm. Is that so?”

So I started taking short walks with her.

Harnier asked me.

“Hey, why don’t you ask?”

“Yes?”

“You have something to ask me.”

Have something to ask?

From my side to Harnier?

‘ah. ‘Is that so?’

I remember him saying that he owed him too much and that he was giving him a gift.

okay. That was it. I forgot.

“Surely you forgot? What did I say I would give you as a gift?”

“Uh…”

How did you know?

Harnier’s eyes narrowed slightly.

I guess I should say something else.

I don’t want to get hit by the spikes on my back that I managed to avoid during the day today.

What should I say?

My brain, which was so worried, came up with a very strange answer.

“Soo, would you like me to teach you how to swim?”

Oh. You idiot.

Why is that being said here and now?

When I tried to make an excuse, blaming my brain for not being able to understand the atmosphere, Harnier grabbed my arm.

“Yes. Teach me.”

Then he walked towards the sea as if he was really trying to learn how to swim.

…Huh?

Really? This works?

That’s fortunate.

But… not like this.

“Wait a minute. Harnier. You’re wearing a dress, not a swimsuit. ”

Realizing too late that she couldn’t learn in this state, she stopped when her thighs were submerged in sea water.

But at that moment.

My body leaned to one side.

“Eight!”

“Huh? Ugh!”

-with a splash!

Salty sea water enters my mouth.

Puha! When I spit out the seawater that had entered my mouth, she, who had also covered herself in seawater to knock me down, was also soaked.

“You forgot that? It’s a punishment. Hmph.”

Harnier said in a clear voice as if this was the price.

…But not this.

I quickly hugged her, not knowing if anyone would see.

“Well, what are you doing?”

“Shh. Let’s go out quietly.”

oh my god. For a moment, I wondered where I should put my eyes.

I was already anxious because I was wearing a one-piece dress, but I never thought I would do something like this.

The dress soaked in sea water clearly showed the underwear she was wearing underneath.

“First, go outside and put on my clothes. This won’t show through.”

As I explained everything, Harnier smiled like a fox.

“Ahang. I see? So my clothes were the problem?”

“…!”

Suddenly, she knocked me down again as I was exiting the sandy beach, and it looked like she was about to run over me.

…Up to this point, we still don’t know the reason. These are actions whose intention is unknown.

But this time, he did something even more ridiculous.

“Da, why are you taking it off now?”

“Why? Can’t you see this? If you’re engaged, you see everything.”

“That and this are different!”

You’re not really engaged to me, you’re engaged by contract!

Despite shouting like that, Harnier calmly put down her dress.

There was really no place to focus my eyes.

The collarbone visible from underneath the choker and the black straps starting to become clearly visible.

The two large cleavages that were barely hidden by the loose dress began to be revealed very clearly.

The same goes for the bottom.

A strap that presses against the firm thigh flesh.

Above it was a cloth with tight straps that only covered a very small area.

It was a piece of clothing that did not function as clothing, to the point where all of the bare skin was visible.

Nevertheless, Harnier still had a smile on her face. As if there was nothing wrong with this at all.

Thanks to you, I realized it.

That’s not underwear.

“What is it? Have you figured it out already?”

“Ha. I asked why you were so confident. Was it something like that?”

“Ahaha. It’s a shame. I haven’t seen you make that kind of expression. Didn’t you realize too early that it was a swimsuit?”

…okay. In modern times, this was also a swimsuit.

Here, they usually use a completely different type of swimsuit, but where I live, they are sold under the name bikini.

But for something like that, I would say it’s bold. Should I say it’s a bit reckless?

The fox-like expression that had been teasing me disappeared and came back with a shy expression.

…however.

“This is my gift to you.”

Harnier’s arms, which had been covering her chest as if embarrassed, were out of place once again.
