Part 2
To have caused Ayesha to cry for real, even if it were Asuka and Yō, they were currently reflecting upon their actions in earnest.
Ayesha had joined the tea party with Asuka and the others in the living room but her cheeks were still puffy.
Exchanging a glance with each other, Yō and Asuka gave a troubled smile at this current headache-inducing situation.
“Really now, we were only playing around. No matter what the case might be, we wouldn’t be that boneheaded to go to that extent, right?”
“What we were eating were only our packed bentos you know. See, Ayesha, your snacks are still in intact and safe in the box.”
“Of course!”
Hmph, puffing her cheeks as she turned her head aside.
After that, the duo had taken a long time to coax Ayesha to return to her calmness as they started the discussion on the game details.
“Come to think of it, Ayesha, regarding the game that you have extended the invitation to us, what sort of activity is that?”
“…….Hmph. Before arriving at our main building, there is this Pumpkin street right? That is a land that was originally a waste land that we renovated into a Ghost town.”
“A small town for wandering spirits?”
Asuka and Yō exclaimed in doubt at the same time and Ayesha who was satisfied by their reactions, finally got herself together to smile as she taunted the duo.
“I can’t tell any of the details…… but the main portion of the game is to find me or Jack-san. Just that it will be too difficult for you guys. Till date, there hasn’t been anyone who could do that. Thanks to that, the luxurious prizes that we always prepare beforehand is now covered in a layer of dust.”
HmHmph. Ayesha gave a haughty throaty laugh.
But hearing Ayesha’s words, the gazes of the duo took a turn as they exchanged a look with each other.
“Is that so…… we can keep the luxurious prizes, is it?”
“Hehe. Sounds like a good thing.”
They gave a confident response to Ayesha’s taunt and Ayesha was motivated to stand up,
“The Game will begin tonight when the moon is at the zenith of the sky. Just wait at the main building before the time and you will be fine.”
“Got it. Then let’s stay in Ayesha’s room,”
“No way!”
Ayesha rejected immediately.
For a while, Asuka and Yō enjoyed the company of each other in silence as they sipped at their red tea and they sighed before speaking up once more.
“A luxurious prize…… what could it be?”
“No idea. But [Will O’ Wisp] is a Community of the six digits. For her to praise it that much, it would be a prize that matches their worth. And if we can get that, it will definitely count towards the efforts to attend the Harvest Festival in advance.”
The duo exchanged a glance and nodded their heads.
That was their goal.
The Community that the duo belonged to, [No Name], was currently holding a game that pitted the battle prizes of the comrades against each other. According to the results that are won in the next few days allocated to them, it would determine the number of days for them to participate in the [Underwood] Harvest Festival.
“Surprisingly, Izayoi is still without a prize so far…… this game might just be our biggest chance.”
“……Mhm. That just leaves the battle where it will decide who of us will get through.”
Yō nodded her head nervously. Asuka was puzzled by the nerves that Yō was feeling as it was never shown that explicitly before, but that was something that she had to put aside for now as she had to save her energy and recharge during the wait for the upcoming game.
