Volume 13 Chapter 150 Yukishiro Emily, Wisdom Of The States
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”Um, the next question is a bonus question. Those who answer correctly will get 2 points, and even if you miss it but were close, you’ll get 1 point, so do your best!”
Whoa!
Seeing Kanopyon already in a defensive stance like a rabbit escaping at the second question, the venue, where the catering chicken had gone cold, suddenly became lively.
”However, it’s a tough question. The representative should be prepared.”
Is there really an even tougher question at this point…?
Looking at Kaede-senpai’s serious face, I was convinced this was for real.
”By the way, it’s difficult even for Kanon.”
Everyone present gasped.
Wait, even the top-tier, absolute master Kanon-san finds it difficult!?
Is there anyone in humanity who can answer such a question?
I advised my team as a support member.
”If we’re going serious, there’s only Kukuri…sama.”
Everyone nodded at my words.
”But, since it’s a difficult question, it might be an option to intentionally throw this match.”
Nee-san’s team has Marin-san even if Nee-san goes out, and Kohina-senpai’s team has Ayana-chan left even if Kohina-senpai goes out.
But if we use Kukuri here, it would be just me, Suu-chan, Charlotte-san, and Her Majesty Shams against Ayana-chan and the others.
However, if I believe Kaede-senpai’s words that it’s difficult even for Kanon, then it’s also a chance to close the gap with Kanon, who is leading by 2 points, making it a very tough question.
At this point, Kukuri, who had been quiet until now, interjects.
”Let’s intentionally challenge here. However, I won’t be the one to go. Charlotte-san, can you do it?”
”W-What about me?”
Kukuri silently nods.
”If we believe Morikawa-san’s words that it’s difficult even for Kanon-san, then it’s safe to assume that the question she can’t answer is related to Aqua-sama’s artistic sense.”
Whoa!
As expected of Kukuri!!
Indeed, if I trust Kaede-senpai’s words, it feels like there’s only that kind of question.
”Unfortunately, with my limited sensibility, I am not in the realm to understand Aqua-sama’s artistic sense that transcends common sense. And I believe that applies to Kanon-san, Her Majesty Shams, and Empress Suu, who are regularly exposed to proper art as royalty.”
Ah… I see.
So, it means that the sensibility honed by existing art cannot comprehend Aqua-sama’s artistic sense drawn in a new era.
”Therefore, I would like to bet on Charlotte-sama. Of course, I believe Charlotte-san also enjoys art regularly, but she should have more potential than us, who have already been confirmed to be utterly defeated.”
Her Majesty Shams and Suu-chan seem to lack confidence as well, nodding vigorously at Kukuri’s words.
”And, for the next question, we will switch support members.”
Huh? Am I, perhaps, out of the game?
I missed both questions, but I was trying my best too.
I look at Kukuri with my eyebrows furrowed in a pleading manner and my eyes glistening.
”Ugh… Ah, it’s only for the next question.”
Thank goodness.
If I had been tossed aside like this, I would have been munching on grass in the shadows.
”Claire, you can do it, right?”
”W-What about me!?”
Claire, who didn’t expect to be called, spins her eyes around.
Is she okay? This isn’t going to turn into something crazy, right?
”Yes. With Claire’s mad──unique sensibility, I’m sure she can touch upon something deep within Aqua-sama’s artistic sense.”
Hey, Kukuri.
You were about to say ‘madness’ just now, weren’t you!!
You might think you covered it up well, but I heard you loud and clear!
”W-Well, if Kukuri-sama has such high expectations, I will do my best to support Charlotte-sama!!”
Good luck, Claire.
To ease Claire’s tension, I lightly squeeze her butt as I send her off to the stage.
”Emi──Haniina-san!?”
Claire, surprised, turns to face me while holding her butt with her hands.
”Claire, you should only tighten your butt after insertion. If you tighten your butt before the real thing, it’ll make it harder for things to go in.”
”What are you talking about?!”
It’s just like a skinship to relax you.
I mean, I didn’t want to s*xually harass you. I try to convey that atmosphere.
Now, let’s see who the other teams chose?
I keep an eye on Nee-san’s team.
”Kotono-san, I’ll go here! If Kanon-san can’t answer this difficult question, then only I, her real mother, can!”
”Umm, alright. Marin-san, please!”
It seems that Nee-san’s team will have Marin-san compete.
I turn my gaze towards Kohina-paisen’s team.
”Alright, I guess I’ll…”
”Wait, Kohina Yukari… this is my turn.”
Auntie Mikuni stops Kohina-paisen from going on stage.
Another fight? I approach the two of them, who are on the verge of a fight, with my nosy curiosity showing.
”Are you serious?”
”Yeah. I’m deliberately saving you and Ayana-san here. So I want you to leave this to me, as the mother.”
The two great actresses, standing like guardian deities, glare at each other.
Hey, both of you! This is just a recreation!
”It seems you’re serious. Alright, I’ll leave it to you!”
”Yeah! Trust me!!”
Oh wow! It’s like a scene from a movie.
Auntie Mikuni, who received Kohina-paisen’s passionate feelings, goes up on stage.
But no one points out that those two are still good friends, right?
I listen in on the conversation of Lapis-chan’s team.
”It seems like mom will be competing. Lapis, is that okay?”
”Yes, of course! Ane-sama, I’m counting on you!!”
Oh wow!
The three Shirogane sisters are competing against Kanon.
The princesses of the harem get excited too.
”I didn’t expect to have to fight Marin-chan and Shitori-chan.”
”Hehehe. Miku-chan, I won’t lose to you because we’re enemies now! Of course, Shitori-chan too!”
”Oh, oh, my mother. Sorry, but I’ll have to win today.”
Oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I and Aqua-sama get really excited as we see the three of them clash their big chests together.
I want to be sandwiched between them!
”Well, this time’s question is about art. Please guess what Aqua-sama’s drawing is about, perfectly!”
Yesss! It’s just as Kukuri predicted.
We’ve won this one. I cross my arms, showing a relaxed expression from the back.
”Now, everyone, please look at this picture.”
Rin removes the cloth she was covering, and a picture appears from within.
As soon as we see it, some of the delicate young ladies collapse with a scream.
It seems to be too stimulating.
I help the young ladies who are nearby.
”Hey, you, give us a hint at least!”
Kohina-paisen confronts Aqua-sama, who is sitting on the judging panel.
”Huh? But this is so obvious!?”
Aqua-sama, you’re the only one who thinks that.
The voice in my head and Kohina-paisen’s voice overlap.
”Well, um… this is a person, that is, someone here.”
A person!? Are you saying that those black blobs are people!?
Everyone looks surprised.
A big hint? Everyone starts writing their answers on their flipboards at the same time.
I wonder if our Charlotte-sama and Claire are okay?
I sneak up to the stage and keep an eye on the two of them.
”I see, I understand.”
Oh!? Claire looks like she’s had a flash of inspiration.
As expected of Claire. There’s a reason I had to be cruel and squeeze her butt.
”This is a picture of the end of the world. And these are people, helplessly being wiped out, yes, the answer is me.”
Hey, Claire. Don’t die on your own!
Also, you have that enlightened look on your face, but Aqua-sama would never draw such a picture!!
Be more serious! Kukuri is holding her head in her hands!
If you’re going to mess around, there was no need for you to take her place!
”Um, would Aqua-sama draw such a picture?”
Well said, Charlotte-san!
Please do something about that fanatic!
”Yes!”
Yes! That’s not it!
Where does your confidence come from….
”…I think it’s different.”
Oh…. I had this image of Charlotte-sama being timid, but she can actually express her own opinions.
It’s amazing that she can say that to Claire. I couldn’t do that 100 times.
There’s a religion in our group called Holy Aqua Religion, which has a silly name, but how about you be a Saint there instead of me from tomorrow? I think you’d be much better than me, who’s just a prop.
”This picture looks very dynamic.”
Huh? Where?
”I can see the figure of a woman full of fighting spirit.”
”Fighting spirit…? Is it Kohina Yukari-san? Then, I can understand this dark god-like black mist.”
Hey, stop it, Claire.
If you say that in front of her, she’ll strangle you later.
”No… it’s not mist, it’s hair color. Isn’t it a black-haired woman?”
”Black hair? Then, it could be Marin-san, Kotono-san, Ayana-chan, Agewa-san, Hakuryuu-sensei, Uruha-san, or Kukuri-san, right?”
It’s Kukuri.
Yeah, that’s right.
”Emily-oneechan?”
”Hii!”
I feel something cold on my spine.
As I turn around, I see Kukuri standing behind me with a smile.
”Emily-oneechan also has black hair.”
”Hah…”
Huh? Is it really me?
I carefully observe Aqua-sama’s picture.
Hmm, come to think of it, the face is starting to look like they’re thinking about something perverted.
”I understand.”
Huh? What do you understand just from that?
Charlotte-sama writes the answer on her flipboard.
The other groups also finish consulting and start writing their answers on their flipboards.
”It seems like everyone has finished writing. Before I announce the correct answer, Kanon, can you guess?”
”I don’t know if I’m right or not…”
Kanon rotates the flipboard she’s holding.
[Ayana-chan!]
Oh! It’s Ayana-chan!
”Can I ask why you think so?”
”Umm… I saw something like a microphone, so I thought it might be Ayana-chan.”
Oh! That’s right!!
If you look closely, you can see a faint cylindrical shape within the black mist!!
This is definitely Ayana-chan!!
”I see, so let’s put this answer on hold for now, Shitori-san, please show everyone the answer you wrote on your flipboard.”
”Hehe, sure.”
Shitori-san shows everyone her answer.
[Kukuri-chan]
Oh! It seems that Shitori-san has the same answer as me.
”Can I ask why?”
”Yeah. Don’t you see this red string-like thing here? I think it’s a ribbon.”
Oh! I slap my hand and look at Kukuri again.
Come to think of it, Kukuri has been wearing a red ribbon lately.
Hmm. Considering that, this also seems possible.
”Yeah, yeah, I see. Now, Marin-san and Mikuni-sama, please open the answer written on your flipboards.”
”Leave it to me!”
”Alright.”
The two of them show the flipboards they’re holding to the audience.
[Uruha-chan]
[Kurogami Uruha-san]
Oh! The same answer.
Marin-san and Mikuni smile at each other.
”Can I ask why?”
”Yeah. It’s this movement, right?”
”Yeah. I felt a strong wave from her breasts.”
Indeed… come to think of it, the mist looks like it’s moving.
I see, so this expresses the movement of the breasts.
Damn, Aqua-sama’s picture is one that confuses people the more they look at it.
”I see, but there are other women with big breasts, right?”
”Yeah. But look at this dynamism. Don’t you feel the youth?”
”Yeah, yeah, there’s a lot of youth overflowing. That’s why I chose the youngest and biggest one.”
I see….
Indeed, the youngest and biggest among us is Uruha-chan.
Hmm. I can understand parts of Kanon and Shitori-san’s answers, so this is tough.
”Alright! So the correct answer is Uruha-chan!”
”Miku-chan, yay!”
”Yay! Marin-chan!!”
Marin-san and Auntie Mikuni joyfully hold hands like schoolgirls.
Oh… their breasts are swaying just as much as Uruha-chan’s, who is the youngest and biggest.
Yeah. If the two of them wore their uniforms, they would totally pass as students. For Aqua-sama.
Because, you see, Aqua-sama and I are intensely exchanging glances up and down.
”So, I would like to add 1 point for the two of you.”
””Huh?””
Wait? Isn’t the correct answer worth 2 points?
Marin-san and Auntie Mikuni look puzzled.
”Hey! It’s the correct answer, so what’s wrong with it!!”
As expected of Kohina-paisen. She’s quick to react.
She goes at the timing everyone wants her to.
”Why is it only 1 point when my Mikuni worked so hard?”
”Kohina Yukari-san. I believe I said it. Please get it perfectly right.”
Kaede-paisen turns her gaze to our team’s Charlotte-san.
”Actually, there is only one person who got this question completely right. Charlotte S. Furnival-san. Could you please announce the correct answer?”
”Yes. First of all, this drawing is definitely of Kurogami Uruha-san.”
Everyone watches Charlotte-san’s explanation with bated breath.
”However, the reason I determined it was her is not because of the way her breasts sway. It’s the baton she was holding and the red headband. There’s an event in this country called a sports festival, right? This is probably one of the competitions held during that event, a relay race, isn’t it? I just confirmed with Claire-san earlier, but I heard that Kurogami Uruha-san ran as the anchor in the relay. Aqua-sama must have drawn this picture from that time, right? Since Aqua-sama loves women who are doing their best, I thought perhaps he depicted a woman striving hard.”
Perfect….
Unlike that fake called Edo-kko Emily.
Before I knew it, everyone was clapping seriously.
Kohina-paisen also quietly returned to her original spot.
”Um… yes. That’s correct. In addition to the two points for Charlotte-san, she will also be granted the right to have a drawing done by Aqua-sama, so please look forward to it.”
”Yay!”
Charlotte-san, I’m so happy for you.
Huh? Is it really a good thing?
I suddenly wondered if getting a drawing from Aqua-sama was a good thing, but I shouldn’t worry about such trivial matters.
”This is me… ah, thank you. Aqua-kun.”
”Yeah!”
Facing the drawing, Uruha-san shows a moment of hesitation but expresses her gratitude to Aqua-sama.
Uruha-chan is really a good girl. Inko-san, who descended into her for just a moment, whispers that.
”Hey! ‘Yeah’ is not enough. You owe Uruha-chan a date as an apology!”
”An apology!? Why do I need to apologize!? Well, I’ll go on a date normally, though…”
We affirm Kohina-paisen’s statement with silent applause.
In that moment, I felt like everyone participating in the recreation became one.
Thank you, Kohina-paisen. You’re not just here to nitpick.
”With this, Kanon and I are tied in points. The competition is just beginning~desuwa!”
I nod at Victoria-sama’s words.
Both Kanon and I have 2 points, while Nee-san and Kohina-paisen’s team has 1 point.
Just when I thought Kanon was pulling ahead, the bonus question has made the competition uncertain.
All thanks to Charlotte-san.
Still… Ivis-sama would have gotten it perfectly right if I hadn’t corrected her, and the two from the States are quite impressive.
I don’t feel any malice from them at all, but I genuinely feel like I need to be cautious about the unknown depths of the country called the States.
