Chapter 286 My art is—well!
"Wait a minute! Something's wrong with our team's proportions! Why am I the only one here?"
Let's not talk about the elementary school group; they were invited by Chitanda Eru, and there's no problem with the four of them being in a group.
What about the girls' group? What's going on with you guys? Excluding the powerful Uchiha Ryo will be a huge mistake!
Yukinoshita turned her head and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Is there a problem?"
"Fair and impartial Yukino-san, isn't this number a bit off?!"
Hayasaka Ai put her hand on Xiao Gudu's shoulder. "Who said we were grouped by number? It's by fighting strength, okay?"
"Xiao Hua and the other three are the standard fighting force. Since we have strong athletic talent, we called in Xiao Gudu to balance the level."
Goto Ichiri: "???"
So you mean she's weak? Well... you're absolutely right! That's why we brought her along—she'll just get crushed...
Little Lonely hugged the water gun tightly, but when she saw the children on the other side who were only a few years older than Goto Niri, her tense mood relaxed a bit.
Chitanda Eru nodded, then announced the rules of the match... In short, it's all about shooting! Getting completely soaked means you lose!
Everyone can choose their own water gun, and the whole yard becomes a battlefield. All the servants of the Chitanda family are on holiday today, and even Chitanda's parents are working outside, so everyone can do whatever they want.
So, is the only weapon water gun? No! The weapon is water! So you can use any container, even a basin of water, as long as you get soaked, you're out.
Uchiha Ryo rested his chin on his hand, bored. "So boring. I'll be the referee then. Good luck, guys..."
Chitanda Eru raised her hand and announced the rewards and punishments. "The first-place team can order the last-place team to do anything!"
Uchiha Ryo quickly stood up and picked out the water gun.
"Here we go! Let me tell you, I won't hold back!"
Yukinoshita and Hayasaka Ai were speechless. As expected of you, Ryo-kun. But the winner of this game might not necessarily be you!
"Um, Eru-neechan, does getting wet mean you lose?" Tsurumi Rumi asked.
"It doesn't count if only part of your body gets wet; it has to be your whole body. So the longer you leave it wet, the better it is to dry off, which is like healing in the game."
Once everyone had filled their water containers, the first Chitanda family water fight tournament officially began!
After hearing the whistle to start the match, Uchiha Ryo quickly looked up and saw eight people with seven pairs of eyes and eight gun barrels pointed at him.
Are you targeting me? Little Lonely is too shy to look over, but why is the water gun pointed at me too? And it's aimed pretty accurately!
In an instant, a large amount of water surged over like a waterfall.
"Are you trying to kill me instantly?" Uchiha Ryo snorted. "Even without using ninjutsu, you're being too naive to think you can kill me!"
He casually grabbed the smoke cloud sauce next to him and placed it in front of him as a shield.
As a large amount of water splashed down by Yanyun-chan, Uchiha Rin quickly retreated and hid in the corner of the house.
Yanyunjiang: So?
"Damn it, he got away! He even resorted to that despicable act of using Smoke Cloud Sauce to block the water!"
Hayasaka Ai clenched her fist regretfully, then ran off in another direction with her teammates. All three teams had chosen to retreat and conceal themselves at the start—a truly sensible choice.
Anyway, the Chitanda family's manor was big enough that you would get lost if you didn't have a map the first time you came, so the three teams of nine people quickly disappeared from each other's sight.
"Let's formulate a battle plan first... It's also in the plan that we couldn't finish off Ling in one go. After all, if he were the second to be eliminated, the outcome would be a choice between us and Rumi and the others."
Yukino Yukinoshita looked serious and then unfolded a map of the Chitanda residence.
Hayasaka Ai looked at Yukino helplessly. "You're really taking this seriously, aren't you? It's just a game, and the other side is a bunch of kids~"
On the other side, on a picnic blanket in the garden, four elementary school students sat together discussing how to launch an attack.
Little Flower adorably rested her chin on her hand, "Why not just attack anyone we encounter? Why do we need to discuss strategies? It's just a game anyway..."
Rumi Tsurumi gently nodded Shirasaki Hana's head.
"You all need to follow my instructions. Since I've joined this game, victory is my goal!"
Yukino Yukinoshita/Rumi Tsurumi: "Since we've joined, we can't treat this like a game. This is a war that transcends age!"
Since it's a war, the most important thing is victory or defeat! And in this water battle, what we need to pay most attention to is...
"Their team that went to the US!"
"Yukino and her group!"
As for that Uchiha/Ling-gege, no matter how powerful he is, he can only launch sneak attacks. And how could he possibly take down a team of them with his limited water supply?
"Those little guys definitely won't be stupid enough to rush out, so we need a decoy," Yukino suddenly said.
Chitanda nodded. "Bait? Who's the bait?"
Hayasaka Ai turned to look at Little Lonely.
Little Lonely glanced left at Yukinoshita, whose expression was serious, and right at Hayasaka Ai, who was all smiles. "Uh... who's the bait?"
On the other side, Tsurumi Rumi looked at Shirasaki Hana.
"Little Flower, hehe... I've thought of a plan, but I need you to act as the decoy. The rest of you wait for my orders."
The two teams were preparing for the battle, while Uchiha Ryo, the ultimate solo fighter, went to the water room on the first floor and took out a large bag of children's balloons from his pocket.
"Damn it, they're isolating me. Luckily, I prepared this good thing..."
Upon hearing about playing in the water, Uchiha Ryo instinctively thought of water balloons. He really was blessed with good fortune! He actually used it!
Yanyunjiang, still drying herself off, said, "What's the use of balloons? I suggest you just go out and deliver them, lest you end up last."
Go out and deliver it? Uchiha Ryo hasn't had enough fun yet, how could he deliver it!
"Yanyun, do you know what water balloons represent in a water fight game if water guns represent guns?"
"Uh... what does that mean?"
Uchiha Ryo turned on the tap and began filling each container with water. "Of course...it represents art!!"
"These water balloons—no! These grenades—are the art that helped me achieve victory, hmm!"
