Chapter 289 Victory is within reach
I'm sure I'll win this game, right? The only one who can rival me right now is the agile Hayasaka Ai.
As for the others, they have either been eliminated by his indiscriminate attacks or have lost their ability to fight.
The winner has already been decided! Uchiha Ryo said that you'd better admit defeat sooner rather than later, lest you struggle in vain.
That's right. This game wasn't about comparing the accuracy of water guns or whose strategy was better from the very beginning. From the moment Uchiha Rin walked into the water room with the balloon, it became an arms race.
Having more ammunition is the key to victory; even an advantage in numbers cannot compensate for an advantage in weaponry.
One hundred archers and a well-ammunition tank, with the tank occupying the advantageous terrain, this is not an equal game at all.
"Unfortunately, there's no way you're going to make us admit defeat, so you'd better get down here!"
Hayasaka Ai charged forward head-on, only to be hit by three water balloons. She crashed into the enemy's heartland while facing the attack. Even Uchiha Ryo was startled. He hadn't even carried out the victor's order yet, so why did you take the initiative?
Turning around and hugging Hayasaka Ai in his arms, Uchiha Ryo smiled and said, "What's this? You still admit defeat. Well, you just stay put and wait until I take care of Yukino and the others downstairs, then I'll go back inside to rest."
"snort!"
Hayasaka Ai, suddenly exerted force, pushing Uchiha Ryo closer to the edge of the roof. And below... was the Chitanda family's small pond. Unlike the corridor below, which had a railing more than a meter high, Uchiha Ryo, on the roof, knew very well that there were no protective measures behind him.
However... no matter how strong Hayasaka Ai is, she couldn't possibly push Uchiha Ryo away once she reacted.
Hayasaka Ai, who was still struggling in the other's arms, realized that something was wrong. She had clearly used all her strength, but the thing she was pushing didn't look like a human being at all, but rather like a huge boulder.
"Trying to push me down and die together? That's a good idea, but you're overestimating your strength."
"So what! Now that you're holding me, you can't continue your attack!"
A high-speed barrage of water jets erupted as Yukino Yukinoshita picked up the large electric water gun left behind by Chitanda and instantly soaked Uchiha Ryo's exposed back.
Uchiha Ryo seemed to realize something, while Hayasaka Ai still had that smiling expression, and hugged him even tighter.
"Those who are completely soaked will be eliminated, and right now your back is already soaked by Yukino, and as for your front, well, I've been right here the whole time~"
Hayasaka Ai never intended to push Uchiha Ryo down. She even planned that she would be burst by the water balloons as she charged forward. She used her wet body to get close to Uchiha Ryo so that his front would also get wet!
"Now you're just as low on health as we are! You're soaked except for your head."
*Snap!* The sound of a water balloon bursting rang out; it was Uchiha Ryo who had popped a water balloon behind Hayasaka Ai's head.
Hayasaka Ai is completely soaked, signaling her elimination! And her mission [weakening Uchiha Rin] has been accomplished to the greatest extent possible! Now it's up to you... Yukino.
"I really didn't expect this. Maybe I should praise you. But let's stop here. Without Hayasaka Ai, your strongest fighter, what are you left? Yukino, did you think I'd give you a chance to shoot me in the head?!"
The water balloons continued to hit their targets, eliminating Hinata Hoshino, Noa Himesaka, and Rumi Tsurumi!
"Now... you're the only one left."
Uchiha Ryo jumped off the roof with half a box of water balloons still in his arms. He simply raised his arm to block Yukino's water gun attack. After all, only his head was not wet, so this level of attack was nothing.
Isn't it the same in games? The most difficult moment is when the BOSS is at low health!
.....
Meanwhile, in the Tokyo Bay area, a white cat was seen standing on the back of a giant blue whale.
"You've been doing quite well in human society lately, haven't you? Did you buy any of the new games that were on sale?"
Whale Spirit chuckled. "Ah, thank you so much, Smoke Cloud. So this is the human life my Uchiha friend showed me. Tell me, what do you need my help with?"
The ancient demon Jingming, who had lived for a thousand years, had only recently discovered that humans could be so engrossed in a small, glowing screen—a truly perplexing phenomenon. Fortunately, Yanyun-chan personally explained to him what...video games were!
That's right! This is the crystallization of human wisdom: video games! So, under Yanyunjiang's persuasion, Jingming spent his entire first month's salary, half of which was used to rent a private apartment nearby, and the other half was used entirely for setting up a computer and playing games.
The naive and inexperienced great monster was instantly drawn to the virtual world created by humans. This whale was particularly fond of FPS games because he was tired of the most primitive biting and collision and was very interested in these delicate little things (guns).
Thanks to Uchiha Rin for bringing him into human society, and thanks to Yanyun-chan for introducing him to something as interesting as a computer.
So when Yanyunjiang suddenly came to the store today asking for his help, Jingming naturally agreed.
"Kujira, I know that the newly resurrected great demon Isobu can summon storms. You are also a great sea demon, so you should be able to influence the weather, right? Could you please make it rain for me?"
"this...."
The whale beneath the white cat remained silent for a moment. "The Isobu, like the Nurarihyon, is a primal yokai born of nature. They are creatures inherently close to nature, so influencing nature is an innate part of their species."
"And even if I, a demon who has become a spirit from an animal, am stronger than Isobu, it is difficult for me to affect the weather."
Yanyun was slightly disappointed, but she quickly cheered up because Jingming said it was difficult, not impossible!
"If the place you're talking about is near the sea, then I can help. After all, with my abilities, as long as I spray a large amount of water vapor into the air, it should achieve the effect of precipitation that you humans talk about."
"Not far at all! All we need to do is spray the water vapor into the air, right? I'll help too!"
.....
"I...I lost. You can't make any strange requests!" Yukino Yukinoshita finally sighed and picked up a towel to dry herself.
"Hehehe, of course! Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Uchiha Ryo patted Yukino on the shoulder.
"Where's Little Lonely? Where did you hide her? And Little Flower too! Does Liu Mei know where Little Flower went?"
The only people who haven't been eliminated yet are Uchiha Ryo, Goto Ichiri who's hiding, and Shirasaki Hana. But these two have absolutely no fighting ability, so victory is already in their grasp!
