🕑 Added 2025-03-07 18:00:07 +0000 UTC"I can see it! Now!" (Yuki)
I pulled the trigger - hit the target.
But it didn't fall.
Just like Lefi earlier, it only grazed the target.
"What... What is this!?" (Yuki)
"Hahaha! It seems you're a private after all! You're terrible at handling weapons!" (Lefi)
"This isn't supposed to happen... Why!?" (Yuki)
"Get out of the way, Private Husband. It seems like wives get promoted to officers faster than their wives." (Lefi)
Lefi smirked as he snatched the rifle from me, who was stunned, and started aiming for the next target.
This was bad, this was distressing.
If this keeps up, I would lose. I couldn't accept that.
At this point, I have no choice but to use my trump card...!
"Just watch me there, I'll teach you what shooting is like!" (Yuki)
Lefi was about to take her stance and pulled the trigger when I blew into her ear.
"Phew" (Yuki)
"Nyah!?" (Lefi)
Instantly, the sponge bullets flew off in the opposite direction.
"Oh, what's wrong, Private Lefi? The bullets are flying in the wrong direction, shouldn't you aim more carefully?" (Yuki)
"Oh, oh, you, I didn't hear anything about interference!?" (Lefi)
"What are you saying, Lefi! Our battle is a battle without honor, interference? Ha, that's what it should be!" (Yuki)
"...That's right, you're that kind of man! Fine, if you come at me like that, I'll deal with you like that too! Prepare yourself, Yuki!" (Lefi)
"Ha, you idiot, Lefi! I'm a man with a calm heart, you know? Don't think I'll be upset by your shaking!" (Yuki)
"Well, you're still at zero points even if I don't do anything." (Lefi)
"Shut up." (Yuki)
I cleared my throat and then aimed my rifle again.
I was sure Lefi would interfere as well.
But it was no problem, I have a mind of steel. No matter what came my way, I should be able to deal with it calmly.
By the way, whenever we played, we started off normally, but whoever started to lose always started interfering like now, so it usually turned into a no-rules battle.
Sometimes I started it, and sometimes Lefi would start it, so even though Lefi was pretending to be the victim, it was actually the same for both of us.
I calmed myself down and took aim - I felt a pat on the bottom of my foot.
"Ooh!" (Yuki)
My body twisted from the tickle attack, causing the bullet to fly in a different direction than the target.
"Oops, you missed again, Yuki. It seems your skills are still pretty poor compared to mine!" (Lefi)
"...Ha! This is just a handicap! It's not a problem at all! You're too weak, so this difference is only right!" (Yuki)
"Ohhh, howl, keep howling! A man who hasn't even gotten a single point yet is trying to give his opinions? The word [loser howl] is definitely usable at a time like this!" (Lefi)
"You're a pathetic guy, Lefi! You should hold on to your sad fantasies while you can!" (Yuki)
--Well, it was normal for things to heat up from there.
We kept disrupting each other. Since we couldn't get any points, our irritation just kept increasing.
We usually had arguments that were unbearable to listen to.
"You, damn you! Your wickedness is overflowing! Look at Sakuya's face! Don't you feel anything for yourself!? Your son is sad!" (Yuki)
"Hah...!?" (Left)
Lefi looked shaken up as I picked up Sakuya and brought him forward.
Sakuya seemed to think I was playing with him, and was squealing with delight.
"...Then look at Riou's face! Aren't you ashamed as a father to do such cunning things!? Your daughter is also astonished!" (Lefi)
"Ugh...!?" (Yuki)
Seeing the innocent face of Riou in Lefi's arms, a shock ran through my heart.
I couldn't look directly at the smile of my daughter, who was laughing happily, unaware of our low-level fight.
"...It hurts our feelings, so let's not bring them up." (Yuki)
"...Yeah, let's do that." (Lefi)
After we put Riou and Sakuya back in their original positions, we cleared our throats to pull ourselves together, then started arguing again.
After that, Lyuu came over and scolded us a little, saying, "You two, please don't leave the place so messy. If you're going to fight, then clean up after yourself and fight in a friendly manner." Then the two of us split up and cleaned up.
In the end, the outcome of our match was left unclear without an actual victor.
