"Amazing... Natsumi-san... succeeded."
Watching Natsumi successfully conquer Shido, Yoshino couldn't help but marvel.
"My, my, Natsumi-chan is really capable. From now on, we'll call her the cute Natsumi-chan. Alright, we can't fall behind either, let's do our best! Yoshino-chan!"
"Yes... I... will do my best..."
The rabbit puppet Yoshinon raised its hands high, encouraging Yoshino. Seemingly wanting to respond to this feeling, Yoshino gently clenched her right hand and nodded with full motivation.
The usual Yoshino is timid and shy, often causing a lot of trouble for everyone because of this. But Shido always helped her tirelessly.
Because of Shido, a cowardly person like her finally gained precious family and friends.
Yoshino knew that if Shido hadn't reached out to help her back then, even now, she would still be a crybaby hiding behind Yoshinon.
No, actually, Yoshino felt she was still a crybaby even now.
However, even if she was like this, Yoshino wanted to help Shido, to repay the help Shido usually gave her.
[...So, who's next?]
Hearing Reine's ssage through the earpiece, Yoshino took a deep breath. Slowly but firmly, she raised her hand and said.
"P-Please let do it..."
[...Mhm, Yoshino is going?]
"...Yes."
Hearing Yoshino volunteer, Reine was sowhat surprised. However, Yoshino nodded to show her determination.
[...Understood. Then, do your best.]
"My, my~ That's the spirit, Yoshino-chan! Next, let's use our hidden ultimate move to seduce Shido-kun until he's completely srized!"
"...Y-Yes!"
______________________
"Oh, it's Yoshino-chan and the others' turn next."
Seeing Yoshino and Yoshinon walking towards Shido, Yutsuki rubbed her chin and began to observe intently.
Unlike Natsumi's situation, Yutsuki wasn't worried about whether Yoshino could make Shido's heart throb. Although her usually well-behaved and easily nervous personality made her presence slightly thin, the more critical the mont, the more she proved to be a reliable person who would choose to act proactively.
Honestly, if asked whose strategy Yutsuki should reference for the highest chance of winning when conquering Shido, it would undoubtedly be Yoshino's.
"Oh, it's starting."
Seeing Shido and Yoshino finally start their date, Yutsuki hurriedly took out her phone, ready to take notes.
...
"Um... this is... sunscreen. I want to help Shido-san put it on."
After a classic exchange of complints, Yoshino took the small bottle handed by Yoshinon and asked softly with her head down.
Logically speaking, it was the dead of winter. Although this swimming arena had planted coconut trees and installed artificial sunlamps to imitate a tropical style, this light obviously wouldn't sunburn the skin like real sunlight.
But! None of that matters, what matters is the atmosphere! Atmosphere! Atmosphere!
"I see, then I'll leave it to you. Although I've helped Kaguya, Yuzuru, and Yutsuki put it on before, this is the first ti soone else is helping put on sunscreen."
Shido nodded, indicating he was very happy to oblige. Then, he lay down on the mat on the artificial beach.
"O-Okay... Then... excuse ."
To prevent Yoshinon from getting sunscreen oil on it, Yoshino first wrapped the rabbit puppet in a plastic film. Then, applying the sunscreen oil, she straddled Shido's back.
"My, quite bold, aren't we."
"...Eh? U-Um... sorry..."
"No need to apologize at all, please continue."
"Y-Yes..."
Getting Shido's permission, Yoshino leaned over and, like giving a massage, applied the sunscreen to Shido's back. Feeling the firm and resilient texture of Shido's back muscles through her palms, Yoshino's tender small face couldn't help but flush hot.
"Ah—This feels really good. I feel like I can understand why they were so flustered back then. You're very skilled, Yoshino."
"Th-Thank you for the complint..."
Yoshino lowered her head in embarrassnt and continued applying the sunscreen carefully.
"Um... Shido-san. The back is done."
"Hm? Ah, thank you."
"So, um... next I'll help you apply it on the front...!"
Saying this, Yoshino embarrassedly closed her eyes first. Shido widened his eyes in surprise, then responded with interest.
That's right, although Shido could completely apply it to his chest himself and didn't need Yoshino's help. But to repeat, what matters is the atmosphere! Atmosphere! Atmosphere!!!!
"I see, then... I humbly accept your offer."
Having Yoshino get off him first, Shido rolled over with an alluring posture, lying on his back, and slightly opened his arms towards Yoshino in welco.
"Alright... Yoshino. Co."
"Y-Yes..."
Yoshino answered softly. Then, she carefully straddled Shido's abdon and slowly sat down.
"Mhm~"
Seemingly enjoying the soft sensation of Yoshino's bottom, Shido even let out a comfortable groan.
...
Bang!
Yutsuki accidentally punched a hole in the decorative rock next to her.
"Um... 1... 1... 0... Hello, Mr. Policeman? There's a male high school student sexually harassing a little girl here. His na is Itsuka Shido, please co arrest him quickly."
[...Yutsuki. Your anger gauge on the screen has already maxed out.]
"Tch. The radio waves were hijacked as expected."
Hearing Reine's calm voice from the phone, Yutsuki clicked her tongue in displeasure.
"Reine, if Shido loses control of himself and tries to make a move on Yoshino out of lust, can I step in and beat him up?"
[...Calm down, Yutsuki. This is sothing necessary to save Shido.]
"I know, I know already, jeez!"
Yutsuki also understood that what Reine said was correct. Everything was proposed proactively by Yoshino, and Shido didn't force her. There was nothing wrong; she just simply felt envious and wanted to complain.
She scratched her long hair in irritation. Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, she stared resentfully at Yoshino's side and continued to observe.
At this mont, Yoshino was straddling Shido's abdon, blushing while honestly applying sunscreen to him, while Shido was admiring Yoshino's delicate body with a gaze that bordered on beastly (in Yutsuki's eyes).
Honestly, if possible, Yutsuki really wanted to kick Shido away and take his place.
(Damn it... whether it's Yoshino or the others, why do such good girls all like Shido?)
In her heart, Yutsuki asked this question, which she already knew the answer to, for the millions ti again.
"Phew... forget it."
After letting out a breath of frustration, Yutsuki adjusted her mindset.
"Alright, applying sunscreen while straddling Shido, I should be able to do sothing of this level too. But repeating the sa trick a second ti will probably greatly reduce the effect... Anyway, let's take note of it first—Waaah?!"
Just then, the swimming arena suddenly experienced a violent tremor, as if it was attacked by sothing from the outside. The sound of explosions continuously rang from the ceiling, and cracks began to appear on the walls.
Yutsuki looked up. Through the large hole blasted in the ceiling, she saw a dense swarm of electronic eyes glowing with red light.
"Bandersnatch... Ellen sure moves fast."
Yutsuki couldn't help but grit her teeth anxiously.
"Reine, what's the situation? Do you need to help?"
[...Dozens of Bandersnatch signatures in the airspace above. Ellen's signature is a bit further away. It's fine, not a big problem. We'll deploy—]
However, the scene that suddenly appeared before them made both Yutsuki and Reine speechless.
"Hey, hey! You guys are going too far. —Since you made the first move, you must be prepared for the consequences, right?"
While everyone was in a panic, Shido suddenly stepped forward. He looked up at the Bandersnatches in the sky, his eyes unabashedly showing contempt.
Spreading his legs, taking a firm stance, and placing his hands at his waist, Shido roared loudly.
"Secret Art: Roaring !!Flash!!! Blast!!! Wave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
As his voice fell, Shido thrust his hands upwards.
The next mont, as if turning night into day, an exaggerated Spirit power cannon blasted the swimming arena's ceiling into powder, completely destroying all the Bandersnatch above along with it.
The power of this strike was even greater than the Gungnir fired by Kotori amplified through the Fraxinus.
"Roaring Flash Blast Wave... huh? Honestly... if he could use it normally, I'd be overjoyed."
Watching Itsuka Shido showing off his might, Yutsuki let out a long, helpless sigh.
In the past, during Spirit power training, Yutsuki had half-jokingly asked Shido if he wanted to try making this move a reality. However, Shido refused, citing that it was too embarrassing a dark history. And at that ti, Shido couldn't control such a massive output of Spirit power anyway, so it was dropped.
Really, if he wasn't in a berserk state, if he used this during practice in the virtual world, Yutsuki would have wanted to throw a party to celebrate.
Looking back towards Shido's side, Yoshino's clothes had been torn by sothing during the tremor just now. Yoshinon, seemingly ignoring Shido, untied Yoshino's laces and was trying to take off the swimsuit.
(Here cos the strongest move...)
Yutsuki couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Observing secretly from another corner, Kotori seed to have misunderstood sothing and hurriedly rushed out to stop Yoshino. But to everyone's astonishnt, Yoshino was wearing a bandeau-style bikini underneath that one-piece swimsuit.
And then, unsurprisingly, amidst Kotori's exclamation of "Yoshino is truly a terrifying child," Shido's heart rate predictably t the target.
Well, Yutsuki wasn't too surprised. When changing in the locker room, she had noticed that Yoshino had two hangers left in her locker.
(This is also very valuable for reference... ah, this is.)
Just as she picked up her phone to write down the note, Yutsuki suddenly noticed.
While casually holding her phone just now, she had snapped a picture of Shido executing the Roaring Flash Blast Wave.
