Episode 259: Punishment game

"Haa ... Haa ... I lost."

Rei lost her will to fight, but she made it all the way to the rock and came back. I think it's great that she's able to carry on until the end.

"Team Nanami wins!!"

As soon as Rei comes back, I announce victory.

"Heheen. It's our victory!!"

"Victory."

Nanami makes a doya face, while Shia is expressionless with her ahoge triumphantly forming a bicep.

She seems very happy.

"Mou!! This is invalid!! It's an invalid match!!"

"You can't do that ~ . I didn't break any rules after all!!"

Amane stomps on the ground like a child and tries to negate the current battle, but Nanami stops it with a righteous argument.

"Right. We didn't check it properly, and that's why we lost the fight, so let's admit defeat."

Rei also puts her hand on Amane's shoulder and speaks as if admonishing her.

"Haa ... I understand. This time we lose. But, next time we fight, we won't lose!!"

"That's exactly how I want it!!"

Rei's words seem to work, and after drooping her shoulders in disappointment and letting out a sigh as if giving up, she admits defeat with a dissatisfied expression.

Afterwards, she declares war, and Nanami happily accepts it.

"But, my chest is still a hindrance ... It made me swim a lot slower."

"That's right. The resistance is amazing."

The two look down and mutter in dissatisfaction while looking down at their chests.

They pick them up with their hands, I can imagine how soft they would be as if they would fit in my hand, and I involuntarily avert my face.

Did the two of them forget that I was there?

Or are they enjoying my reaction?

They're completely outrageous companions.

"How dare you show off like that!!"

"Unfair."

Nanami is furious at the situation of the two of them. Shia seems envious as well.

"If it's frustrating, Nanami should grow up too!!"

Amane, who accidentally manages to inflict mental damage on Nanami-tachi, who shout in frustration, triumphantly looks down on the two of them.

"Mukii!! I thought I'd forgive you with a simple punishment game if we won, but I'm going to think up something great!!"

"Nn!!"

It is decided that the punishment will be even worse due to Amane who provokes the wrath of the two.

"Ah, ah, sorry, I'm sorry!!"

"No way!! I'm thinking about what to choose, so go away!!"

"Nn."

After that, Amane suddenly rushes to apologize to the two and tries to make the punishment game a gentle one, but her voice doesn't reach Nanami-tachi, and Amane is chased away.

"Haa ..."

"You provoked them too much."

"I know ..."

Amane, who is depressed and returns to the area where Rei and I are, says to me and Rei as if accusing us.

"Because, it's so frustrating to lose like that ..."

"It's not that I don't understand. I'll give you something sweet later, and I'll talk to her a little bit, so cheer up."

Amane looks very frustrated. Because she hates to lose. To be honest, she's not imposing, and I don't think she's convinced that she lost.

I console Amane because I can't stand watching her.

"I understand. Please ... Nothing too cruel ..."

"I understand."

It's certainly not good to make something too cruel as a punishment game.

I don't think they would ever think of such a cruel punishment game, but I approach Nanami and the others.

"Something like going around town naked and standing on your hands?"

"Three kilos of spaghetti from the nose."

"That's not bad either."

"Buhaa."

When I listen to the conversation of the two of them, they are thinking of punishment games that are even worse than I thought, and I burst out involuntarily.

Or rather, it's a punishment game that looks like something out in old-fashioned Dragoemon.(TN:Not sure what this is referring to.)

If they actually did that, it would definitely be crazy.

"Oh, Onii-chan. What's wrong?"

"Nn?"

The two of them turn around and tilt their heads when they notice that I have burst out.

"No, I came to ask what kind of punishment game you're thinking of, but it seems a bit too harsh. I want you to make it a bit lighter of a punishment game."

"Eeeeeeeehhhhhhh!! Even though I won!! And she was being unpleasant!!"

Nanami cries out in dissatisfaction at my words. She crosses her arms and turns away sullenly, angry.

I know you're angry, but it's not good to take that frustration out on your opponent.

For Nanami and for Amane both.

"I understand how you feel. But, if it's too bad, it will hurt her heart, and it will also cause a rift between the two of you. Besides, Nanami also thinks she cheated a bit, right?"

"That's right ... Yeah."

At my words, Nanami reveals that she too is aware that she has done something a little unfair.

If Nanami also feels guilty, the talk will be settled quickly.

"Then, please be a little kinder. If you don't, you'll really be on bad terms, won't you?"

"Haa ... Okay. Well then, we'll come up with a plan, so Onii-chan should decide how much it should be."

"Roger."

When I try to persuade Nanami, she lets out a big sigh as if changing her mind, then asks me to judge the punishment game plan with a serious expression, so I gladly accept.

Many of the punishment games proposed by Nanami and Shia are brutal, but I think I am able to keep them in check.

"Well then, I'm going to ask Nanami to announce the punishment game."

-Jagajagajagajagaa ......

I don't know where it is coming from, but music that sounds like the sound of drums that are often played on TV programs when the results are announced suddenly starts playing.

-Jagajaan

After several tens of seconds, the sound of the drum stops.

"The two of you will spend the whole day tomorrow wearing this armor!!"

What the two of them take out is a so-called succubus-like costume with horns, wings, and a tail on top of it.

Actually, this is armor I found while exploring the dungeon.

It was sleeping in Nanami's bag, but this time it will be unveiled.

"Th, that's embarrassing, but ..."

"I wonder if it's a little too risqué."

When the two of them see it, their faces turn bright red and they gently refuse.

"It's okay!! This armor has a correction that makes it not get dirty!!"

"Nn."

Apparently, Shia has seen similar armor before, and it seems that it is enchanted with magic to absolutely never slip.

"If it's not that much, it won't be a punishment game!!"

You certainly can't call it a punishment game unless it's accompanied by negative emotions such as shame and pain.

I thought that being naked was really bad, and standing upside down is also painful, so the result of this compromise is the result of this punishment game.

"Haa ... I understand. Losing is losing, and I'll follow that punishment game."

"Right. I'm embarrassed too, but if you say that, that's it, I'll endure it."

The two of them slump their shoulders as if giving up and decide to take the punishment game.

By that time, the sun is starting to set, so I blow away the darkened atmosphere by letting them eat something delicious and sweet.

After we finish eating and it is time to chat with everyone, we put something like a water bed on a vinyl sheet and lay down on it.

That night, we fall asleep while being soothed by the beautiful sight of the starry sky and the reflection of the starry sky on the surface of the sea.
