"P-Pochi lost... I can't believe it."
"Heh, this is Arisa-chan's true skill!"
Before the dejected Pochi, I triumphantly gloat like a child.
"Next is Tama~?"
"Ninja Art Secrets, bring everything you've got!"
I taunt Tama by twisting a line from the super popular fighting game "Samu☆Tama."
"Tama, you’re not going to lose, right?"
"Here I go!"
Tama’s sharp dynamic vision catches my fast-thrusting hand.
Normally, Tama would never lose because she can act after seeing my movement.
But—
"Oh dear~?"
"T-Tama lost!"
It was precisely because of her too excellent dynamic vision that Tama lost.
"How about it? The ever-changing 'Kaleidoscope' technique of Arisa-chan!"
"Amazing, amazing~?"
"Great, indeed!"
I defeated the dog hero Pochi and the cat ninja Tama and advanced to the finals stage.
There, Nana of the fortress, who defeated liza of the demonic spear and spirit user Mia, was waiting.
"As expected, it’s you for the showdown. 'Innocent Big Breasts' Nana!"
"…Arisa, I request a change of that title."
Nana really is so picky about nicknames.
"Then, how about 'Innocent Beauty (Innocent Face)'?"
"I acknowledge that."
Nana gave a slight nod.
"Well, my momentum’s a bit off now, but let’s continue."
Nana and I took our stances.
While I took a classic pose, Nana was relaxed and natural.
"Here I go!"
Nana nodded slightly.
"Rock-paper-scissors, shoot!"
I showed paper, Nana showed paper as well.
No victory on the first move.
Few people start with scissors.
Then it has to be rock or paper.
"Again, tie!"
Another draw, both still paper.
"Shoot!!"
Now both scissors.
"Shoot!!!"
On the fourth move, the outcome was finally decided.
"Yessssss!!"
"Arisa wins~?"
"Victory!"
I received praise, striking a phoenix pose.
Heh heh heh, now I can exercise the rights of the winner!
"Then, Arisa will be the one to inform Master about dinner."
Liza said matter-of-factly.
But seeing her tail drooping to the ground, she seemed rather disappointed.
"I’ll tell him tomorrow."
"Yeah, in order of the winners."
At Nana’s declaration, Mia nodded.
"Third place match~?"
"I won’t lose, Tama."
"Come on~?"
"Do your best~!"
While I listened to Tama and Ms. Liza starting their rock-paper-scissors match behind me, I stepped through the Teleportation Gate leading to Master’s research lab.

"If he’s not here, then maybe he’s with Aze-tan or resting in the courtyard’s shade?"
Master’s figure was nowhere in the study that resembled an office.
Since learning the unique skill "Unit Deployment," Master had been moving around indiscriminately, making him hard to find.
"—There."
There he was, sitting with eyes closed, cushions lined up under the shade of a tree.
His unchanged boyishness since we first met was truly delightful.
Especially like this, defenselessly closing his eyes, he was extremely to my liking.
…Ugh. Heh heh heh.
Just a little bit.
I stealthily crept beside Master.
Absolutely no spatial magic.
I tried moving that way before, and was immediately found out.
I wiped the drool that slipped from the corner of my mouth with my sleeve and slid smoothly onto Master’s lap.
—Bliss.
Hehe~, I even rested my head on Master’s chest—
This is just too much to handle~
I couldn’t help but slip into a fake Kansai accent from pure delight.
This bliss alone could carry me through three bowls of rice.
Still, Master was unresponsive?
I rubbed his head.
—Mmph.
The scent of a young boy hit my nostrils with full force.
Ah, I’d be fine dying like this.
As I smiled up like Tama’s "Nihehe~," I met Master’s black eyes.
"—Good, morning?"
"Ah, good morning, Arisa."
Master’s boyish voice was always to my liking.
At this point, I resolved to be feminine.
I turned toward Master and suddenly threw my arms around his neck—
"What are you doing?"
"Sexual harassment?"
I impulsively tried to kiss him, but Master stopped me by pressing my forehead.
Seriously, such a cheat.
"Sexual harassment? — No, that kind of mischief is forbidden."
"Okay, sorry."
I apologized sincerely and awaited Master’s punishment.
"Don’t do it again."
