Chapter 288 The winner takes all, the loser eats the dust!
"Hana, your back is already wet, so you should hide first. I just heard that Chitanda-neechan seems to have been eliminated, so we'll have a three-on-three match, and you're our trump card."
Shirasaki Hana nodded. "OK, but the rules don't allow us inside, right?"
"Of course, since we can only play in the water outdoors."
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, no one would be foolish enough to hide inside the house. However, the Chitanda family's residence had many pavilions and corridors, making it easy to find a place to rest.
Arriving at a shaded pavilion near the warehouse, Shirasaki Hana found a clean mat and spread it on the stone benches arranged in a circle, then stretched and lay down.
"Seriously, why play games so seriously? I'd better take a nap and then get some snacks."
The Chitanda family mansion, with this pavilion, is like a paradise; everything else has become a battlefield.
.....
"Rumi-chan! There's nothing we can do, we can't hit it that high!" Hoshino Hinata said helplessly, the mobile mortar on the second-floor roof was just too powerful.
Rumi Tsurumi pouted, "Really, Ryo-nii, does he have to take it so seriously..."
Meanwhile, under the snow, also dodging attacks from water balloons, someone hid behind a tree. "Hayasaka, do you know how to get to the roof?"
"It's possible, but as soon as I rush out, Ling will focus fire on me instantly. He won't give me a chance to get up there..."
Is that so? "Stay in America! Let's join forces and take care of those guys up there first."
"Okay, Yukino-neechan, but we can't go up, so we can only act as bait from below."
Meanwhile, on the second-floor rooftop, Uchiha Rin, who had prepared a box of water balloons, was acting as a mobile mortar, hitting exactly where he was pointed! Meanwhile, Yanyun-chan, who had just dried herself off, was lying to the side, waiting for the game to end so she could rest.
"Hehehe! Hiding won't do you any good, so come out and get soaked!"
Another water balloon hit the tree trunk where Yukino was hiding. "I have more than enough water balloons in my supply. You guys better just give up now."
Seeing that no one came out, Uchiha Ryo stopped attacking and continued speaking from the rooftop.
"How about this, Rumi, you lure Yukino and the others out for me. I promise I'll only attack them. Anyway, the second-place team doesn't get any penalty, so you guys won't lose out either way~"
Yukino turned to look, and she was genuinely worried that Rumi would choose to help the Uchiha, just like that evil guy said, only the team that was eliminated first would be punished.
In other words, if Tsurumi Rumi chooses the Uchiha clan, then they can really surrender in this game in advance.
Chitanda Eru, who was preparing snacks in the living room on the first floor, pouted, "It's so lively outside, too bad I'm the first one out..."
Uchiha Ryo's gaze was fixed on the place where Tsurumi Rumi was hiding, and unsurprisingly, she walked out of the cover head-on.
"So, Rumi, you know perfectly well that kids can't climb to the second-floor roof. You'll only get beaten up down there. So, the only way to win is to help me deal with Yukino and the others!"
"Go, attack Yukino and force her to come out! I'll make you some sweets."
"....."
Uchiha Ryo frowned. "Hurry up and make a decision~ My patience is very limited."
Tsurumi Rumi raised her head, looked calmly at Uchiha Ryo, and then gritted her teeth before finally speaking.
"Brother Ling... if we attack Sister Yukino and the others and force them to come out... will you let us go?"
"Ah, that's right. Of course, you can just play water gun games with each other and deliberately lose. Anyway, my goal is just to take down Yukino and the others first and then win."
Then he can use the power of the victor to order the four losers to do things that everyone likes to do—that's what they call... winner takes all, loser eats dust!
"Hurry up, attack Yukino and the others!"
Rumi Tsurumi nodded, then smiled.
"However, I refuse! My favorite thing to do is say NO to people like Brother Ling who are smug and think they've already won!"
The moment Tsurumi Rumi said NO, Hoshino Hinata and Himesaka Noa rushed out at the same time, while Yukinoshita and Hayasaka Ai, who were hiding, also ran out.
Yukino took a deep breath. "You only have two hands, I'd like to see how you manage to hit everyone at the same time!"
Uchiha Ryo narrowed his eyes. "Really... then I won't hold back!"
*Splash!* The water balloon was thrown down!
*Splash!* Another water balloon was thrown down!
Meow—A cat got thrown down!
*Splash!* Another water balloon was thrown down!
Hmm? Something just felt off. Oh well, I have plenty of water balloons here anyway.
While resting, Yanyunjiang suddenly felt herself lifted into the air and then thrown out. Can anyone tell her what happened?
The continuous bursts of water balloons soaked Yukinoshita, Rumi Tsurumi, and the others, quickly eliminating them from the competition.
Suddenly a stream of water shot towards him, and Uchiha Ryo instinctively dodged, managing to get only one arm slightly wet.
"Hehe, Hayasaka Ai, you're up here. But it's no use, it's no use! You can't change anything."
"I can feel it! The winds of victory are blowing from behind me, Uchiha Ryo!"
......
Shirasaki Hana, who was in the pavilion, heard some noise nearby, as if something was approaching.
I sat up and quickly grabbed the water gun, only to see a soaking wet cat slowly walking over, meowing as it went.
That jerk of a master! He actually used me like a water balloon! Ugh, and he wants me to help? What can a cat like me do? You won't even let me use water magic!
"Yanyun Sauce?"
Upon hearing Xiaohua's voice, Yanyun paused, then stared intently at the water gun in the other person's hand.
Seemingly sensing what Yanyun was worried about, Shirasaki Hana smiled, put down the water gun, and then took a towel from the side.
"Come here, let me dry you off first."
The cat was very obedient; as a ninja cat of the Uchiha clan, she... she quickly succumbed to Hana's methods...
Is this what gentleness feels like for a cat? Yanyun-chan has decided that she will do everything in her power to help Shirasaki Hana win this water fight!
The problem is... what can a cat do without water escape? She can't play with a water gun.
How much sorrow can one have? It's like a eunuch going to a brothel. It's not that Yanyunjiang doesn't want to try, it's just that she has the will but not the strength.
Wait a minute, what Master means is that we can't reveal our ninjutsu in front of ordinary people, but as long as they don't see it... then it's fine!
The cat came up with a brilliant plan...
