"Well, Sister Wan Yuri, what on earth is going on?"
At the door of the hotel, instead of the blue-haired girl who was full of doubts, Yoshina asked Wanyuri who was standing at the entrance.
Because on the spacious road, two orange-haired girls were running back and forth competing with each other.
"Yoshina? You guys have already rested."
"As you can see, the girl with long hair on the left is called Yamu Yuzuru, and the girl with her hair tied up on the right is called Yamuya Kiya."
"They are the elves we are looking for."
"——!"
Staring at the borrowed stopwatch in his hand, Wanyuri explained to Yoshino, who had just woken up.
…
"Hmm. In other words, these two elf ladies were originally one person, but an accident occurred when they appeared in the world and they became two people. Therefore, they are engaged in a 'duel' in order to reunite as one.
, and Sister Wan Yuri is serving as their referee, right?"
"Oh, this kind of accident really seems like a joke played by fate~"
I don't know whether it was an irrelevant tone or a sarcastic tone, the hand puppet shook his body.
"...Don't be like this...Yoshina..."
As if she thought it was impolite to say this, Yoshino quickly advised her.
"...Anyway, I have convinced the Bawu sisters to join us. They will act with us until the problem is solved."
Without commenting on Yoshina's words, Wanyuri pressed the stopwatch in her hand.
"Okay, time's up."
After hearing Wanyuri's words, the two people quickly asked in her direction.
"Ha...ha...is it over? Who won this time?"
"Tired. But... the winner is definitely... Yuxian."
Not willing to be outdone, they glared at each other and came to Wanyuri's side.
"Well... Judging from the table, it should be considered a draw."
Showing the stopwatch in his hand to the two of them, Wan Yuri made a decision.
"Damn it! Another draw!!"
"Dissatisfied. Next time Yuzuru must beat Yaguya."
Stomping his feet angrily, Yakuya curled his lips, while Yuxian also expressed his dissatisfaction in a tone of voice that was calm.
"that……"
Seeing that the two of them seemed to have calmed down, Yoshino, who wanted to say hello, mustered up the courage to speak softly.
"Um?"
"...?"
Hearing this voice, Yuzuru and Yagiya looked at Yoshino who made the voice at the same time.
"Well……!"
This move also made Yoshino, who was not used to communicating with others, take two steps back and huddle behind Wanyuri.
"Ah ho~ Hello, elf ladies~ The name of the fourth series is Yoshina, how about it? Isn't it very cute, haha, please take care of me~"
Contrary to the shy Yoshino, the left-hand doll "Yoshino" actually shouted happily.
"This child is what I said before. Like us, she is also an elf."
"Yoshino is a little scared of strangers, so don't scare her too much."
After explaining in a urging tone, Wan Yuri signaled Yoshino not to be too nervous.
"Oh! Is your name Yoshina? You look very suitable to be my dependent!"
"Understood. Hello, Yoshino."
"……Ah hello……"
"Haha, you are very interesting. Let's get along well~"
He was obviously greeting different people, but the conversation miraculously took place.
Forget it, as long as they are happy.
With his hands behind his back and a relieved shrug, Wan Yuri said that he shouldn't need to help with the following exchanges.
After helping Yakuya and others complete the check-in procedures, Wanyuri returned to his room.
Fortunately, Miku provided sufficient funds for the event, so Wanyuri also covered the expenses for the Yawu sisters.
But before she could sit down for long, she was pulled out by the 'new neighbor' who had just moved in next door.
"Wait, wait a minute, Yajuya, where are you taking me?"
Is this direction...
"What are you talking about! Of course it's a hot spring! A hot spring!"
The very excited Yakuya even returned his tone to normal and waved his hands happily.
"Poor. Yakuya is like a child who hasn't grown up."
"Ah! Yuxian, you guy! Aren't you going to do this too!? How can you be qualified to criticize me!!"
Yakuya shouted with a blush on his face, glaring at Yuzuru who was also walking beside him with Yoshino.
"Oh my! Even I'm a little excited. It's such a rare opportunity. It's like a girls' trip! Do you think so? Yoshino!"
"Um……"
It can be seen that even Yoshino and Yoshino are very happy.
The number of elves is small to begin with, so being able to gather together like ordinary girls to play in hot springs must be an experience they have never had before.
But they were very happy, but Wanyuri was not so happy.
(Why do you think I stayed in the room? Just waiting for you to go first...)
It’s not that she wants to be pretentious, it’s already like this, so there’s nothing she can’t let go of!
But it was really exciting to be with so many girls at once.
If possible, she still wanted to be alone, at least to get acquainted...
After all, isn’t it still hypocritical!!
Just like that, someone with a reluctant face but an honest body was dragged into the 'Holy Land' in a daze...
"Ah, it's really comfortable~ I feel like my fatigue has disappeared, what do you think, Sister Wan Yuri~"
It was clearly a doll but there was a bath towel on its head, Yoshina sighed with emotion.
"Well, indeed..."
Trying to be calm and not looking around, Wan Yuri leaned against the fake stone and looked at the starry sky.
It seems to be quite late at this point, most people have finished soaking, and now only the four of them are left.
Not far away, the Yawu sisters seemed to be having a heated debate over the issues of 'beauty' and 'breasts' size.
In order not to be affected by the war, Wanyuri chose to stay with Yoshino.
"Speaking of which, Yoshino, do you still remember how you felt when we established the spiritual power circuit? Or rather, the state."
Looking for a topic, Wan Yuri suddenly remembered that she had not properly communicated everything about that time with the elf she had first 'conquered'.
Is this what is called darkness under the light?
"...It feels...isn't it..."
Yoshino and Yoshino looked at each other, and Yoshino seemed to be remembering something.
"..."
"At that time... Manyuri-san who helped me and Yoshina... seemed like the object of my admiration..."
"Strong...handsome...and has the desire to be respected..."
"So... looking at Sister Wan Yuri like this... I feel like I am so indecisive... I can't do anything if I don't work hard..."
"I don't want to be hurt by anyone... and I don't want to hurt anyone... Sister Wan Yuri's wish... that's my wish too...!"
Yoshino, who spoke these many words for the first time, was extremely serious.
Where others can't see, Yoshino is also working hard.
Feeling such emotion again, Wanyuri patted Yoshino's head encouragingly, making the girl laugh quietly.
(I feel like I understand a little bit...)
(How to ‘defeat’ these elf girls...)
Looking at the noisy Yawu sisters, Wan Yuri had a plan in mind. (To be continued)
