CHAPTER 293: CHAPTER 291: FIRST-PERSON SHOOTER GAME

The cool seawater slowly washed over Shirakawa Sawahei’s legs as he walked leisurely along the edge of the rocky shore. Along the way, fewer and fewer tourists appeared, leaving only a few couples nearby, whispering sweet nothings to each other.

Perhaps everyone had the same thought, believing that the open space near the coastal rocks was a sanctuary exclusively for couples, and going there themselves would disrupt the atmosphere. Thus, scarcely anyone ventured in that direction...

Neon people are typically attuned to the atmosphere, which explains why Tsukimi sakurazawa and the little Lolita Asano Nazuki had come here for a showdown. The environment alone made the place perfect for a duel.

"Konatsuori! Give up your illusions! You can’t win against me! Even Orikin has already conceded!"

"Impossible!" The Black Hearted Lolita was faintly provoked into stubbornness, gritting her teeth as she said, "I will never admit defeat!"

"Hehehe~ Then you better hide well so I don’t find you~"

From a distance, Shirakawa Sawahei could hear two little girls taunting each other from afar. From the looks of it, they seemed to have turned the complex and changing rocky terrain into a battleground.

A few couples were sitting chatting at the edge of the rocks nearby. Seeing this, Shirakawa Sawahei felt slightly relieved. Tsukimi, although daring, still had a sense of propriety; at least she hadn’t taken the little Lolita to a completely deserted place, making it difficult for him to find them.

"What are you two doing here?"

He walked closer and saw Tsukimi sakurazawa crouching by the rock’s edge. The strong visual impact made him involuntarily lift his gaze slightly to see the girl’s face.

"Shh~ Shirakawa, lower your voice."

Holding a rented water gun, the whimpering girl anxiously said, "Hurry over...hide well, don’t let Konatsuori spot you!"

"What mischief are you up to again? Are you elementary students? Having a water gun fight?"

"What do you know, Shirakawa? This is a battle! A battle!"

"Why are you and Asano fighting well and good, you two childish idiots..."

As Shirakawa Sawahei spoke, he suddenly noticed his gaze seemed to be drifting downward again and couldn’t help but cough lightly. "Um...maybe you should change your position."

"Why?"

"This position is quite inconvenient." He added, "And it’s quite damaging to the swimsuit as well."

"Tsk~ Shirakawa, you’re overthinking. Those exaggerated scenes of swimsuits being tugged by dolphins or swept away by the sea in manga are just dramatized. How could they break so easily?"

Hm? Why does that sound so much like a jinx?

"But you’re wearing a tie-back style."

Tsukimi sakurazawa straightened up, proudly saying, "Don’t worry, I tied it very securely. It won’t fall off... Speaking of which, Shirakawa, you wouldn’t want to... Ah! Konatsuori has appeared! Shirakawa, quick, protect me!"

While they were talking, the Black Hearted Lolita seized the chance to attack from the side, spraying water at the whimpering girl with her water gun. Her small face was filled with a cold smile, as if mocking her for being so engrossed in talking to Shirakawa Sawahei that she didn’t notice the impending danger.

Having no choice, the whimpering girl, overwhelmed by the little Lolita’s relentless attack, hid behind Shirakawa Sawahei, using him as cover while starting her counterattack.

"Minister Sakurazawa, surrender. You stand no chance..."

"Konatsuori! How devious you are, launching a sneak attack!"

"All warfare is deceit. Minister, haven’t you read The Art of War by Sun Tzu from Huaxia!"

"I only ever wrote that when practicing calligraphy. Who reads that for leisure... uh uh... Oh no, Shirakawa, save me..."

"Little Bai... Shirakawa! This is a battle between us! Don’t interfere, okay~"

The Black Hearted Lolita’s competitive spirit was no less than her scheming sister. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have pursued Shirakawa Sawahei for so long. He was about to say something when he got splashed in the face by the little Lolita, leaving him standing in silent shock.

"Oh dear, Shirakawa~ Sorry about that, unintentional friendly fire... Could you please step aside a little? Otherwise, it’s hard for me to ensure shooting accuracy~"

"Shirakawa! You can’t leave! You were the one who exposed me! Are you conspiring with Konatsuori!"

"Minister Sakurazawa, relying on Shirakawa as cover won’t stop your defeat. Even if it’s just me, without Orikin! I can claim the victory bouquet!"

"Damn... It’s not over yet! Don’t celebrate too early!"

Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."

After exchanging fire around Shirakawa Sawahei for a while, the Black Hearted Lolita suddenly showed a sinister smile and proposed, "Minister Sakurazawa?"

"I think Shirakawa might be a factor affecting our battle. Shall we attack him first?"

"Great idea! I’ve been annoyed with Shirakawa the old scumbag for a while! You were definitely the one who exposed me! Told me not to bend down! Have a blast from me!"

"..."

In an instant, the two girls turned their water guns towards him, firing madly. Shirakawa Sawahei wiped water off his face, silently clenching his fist.

Take this! Prince Splash!

Unable to endure it anymore, Shirakawa Sawahei began his counterattack, splashing a handful of water at the little Lolita, soaking her to the bone and leaving her stunned.

Taking advantage of the brief moment of confusion, he rushed forward, scooped up the little Lolita, holding her at the waist, and seized her water gun, swaggering as he attacked the whimpering girl.

Every shot hit Tsukimi sakurazawa’s face with force. The girl couldn’t withstand such a high-frequency assault, squinting as she retreated, exclaiming, "Ugh... Shirakawa! You’re too much... I’m a girl! After all, I’m a girl, you know? Can’t you have a bit of chivalrous compassion..."

"Ah... So cold... My face is drenched... Shirakawa... Let me go, won’t you... I was only pretending to team up with Konatsuori... No way, how could you treat a good friend like this... Waaaa~ It’s too much... Shirakawa, take a breather, won’t you..."

"I can’t take it anymore... I surrender... I really can’t handle it anymore... I was wrong... I’ll never dare again..."

"Really won’t dare?"

"Mm-hmm, really won’t dare!" Tsukimi sakurazawa wiped water off her face, raising her hand, "Lying makes me a puppy!"

"Oh."

Shirakawa Sawahei casually shot her twice more, then pointed the gun at the Black Hearted Lolita in his embrace, asking, "And you?"

"I... Ugh... I won’t... Ugh ugh... I won’t dare... I was wrong... Little Bai... Ugh... Shirakawa... I’ve already said I won’t dare, yet you’re still shooting!"

"Isn’t accidental discharge quite normal?" Seeing the two girls admit defeat, Shirakawa Sawahei contentedly set the little Lolita down.

"Are we still fighting next?"

"No... not fighting..."

"Mm, that’s a good girl."

What do you call mediating? This is called mediating!

"Now let’s head back, stop disturbing other couples here." With that, Shirakawa Sawahei turned to leave, preparing to climb ashore from the sea and walk back along the coastal rocks to Miss Tachibana Tomoku’s side. The other two girls were quite disgruntled, but having just been drenched in water, they dared not act rashly, only daring to sneakily diss the unromantic iron-hearted man from behind.

"Shirakawa’s too much... targeting my face exclusively... Clearly, so many places on the body he didn’t shoot! Must be intentional!"

Black Hearted Lolita: Hehe.

"You actually had it better just now. I was in his grasp, with a water gun pointed at my head asking if I submit... Shirakawa is too much... It’ll be hard for him to find a girlfriend in the future..."

"Exactly, exactly... Ugh... Eh eh..."

"Hey, could you diss me a bit quieter? I’m right here, you know."

Shirakawa Sawahei helplessly turned back, just as the whimpering girl was about to climb ashore right behind him. His sudden stop caught her off guard, preventing her from balancing, causing her to fall backward into the sea.

"Tsukimi..."

He instinctively reached out, trying to grab the girl’s flailing hand, but alas, destiny wasn’t in his favor. The whimpering girl’s body inevitably fell towards the sea, with her silver rose-shaped earrings gleaming in the sunlight... and what Shirakawa Sawahei managed to grab in the end was only a piece of clothing.

"Eh..."

This can’t be happening...

The little Lolita behind Tsukimi sakurazawa, seeing her fall, had one final thought flash through her mind...
