There was still some time before the start of the game Love or Loved 2, and during this period, Nangou Haruya found something iing to do, or rather, a game.

  Currently, as a guest and colborator of the Werebeasts, Haruya had the privilege to move freely within the embassy.

  Occasionally, he would e across cat-eared maids or bunny-eared girls passing by, all of whom he 'immortalized' with his phone...

  If he were to au these photos online in his home world, he could probably make a fortune...

  inally, Haruya had also sidered using his Checkpoint ability to buy lottery tickets and make money, but at that time, his life was already fortable enough, and he didn't need extra wealth.

  Back to the present, as Haruya took the elevator to the top floor, he saw Izuna sunbathing up there.

  Ino robably tag headquarters and preparing for the game, so Izuna nolenty of free time.

  "...Haruya's stench, desu. Do you also have nothing to do today, desu?"

  "I told you, even if you add 'desu', it doesn't make it polite. What are you doing here?"

  "Besides sunbathing, I'm also , desu." Izuna y on a wooden chair, her tail curled up, her amethyst eyes fixed on the distant Immanity kingdom, Elkia.

  Ah, of course. Since Werebeasts have vision many times strohan humans, she could see things from afar.

  "Did you notiything unusual?"

  "Not really, desu..." Izuna fiddled with her hair as she looked at Haruya, "Haruya, you know those people, right? Why did they challenge us to a game? Is there some kind of spiracy, desu?"

  "A game is just a game. There's only one reason they're doing this, that pair of siblings won't lose to anyone except each other in games." Haruya expined.

  "Impossible. I will definitely win, desu."

  Her tone was firm. This wasn't just about winning for the sake of it; Izuna was determio protect the current state of things.

  Haruya sat down beside her, looking up at the clear blue sky.

  "The weather is oday."

  "Perfect for a nap, but I haven't been able to sleep well tely, desu. Last night, I only slept eight hours."

  'Eight hours? That should be enough for a child, right? After all, Izuna- is o years old.'

  'Wait, no...' Haruya remembered that the optimal sleep time is actually nine hours...

  While thinking about this, he noticed Izuna wiping a bit of sweat from her forehead.

  He suddenly cpped his hands together, "Right! Let's py a game. That way, we won't be bored."

  "A game, desu?"

  "Yeah, instead of staring at the blue sky in a daze, pying a game is the best choice, don't you think?"

  "I don't mind, but what game are we pying, desu?"

  "Well..." Haruya thought for a moment, then smacked his right fist into his left palm, as if a lightbulb had appeared above his head, "When it es to summer games, it's all about water, right? Do you have water guns here?"

  "Water guns? You mean those tools that shoot water when you fill them up, desu?"

  "Exactly! Let's go get them. Shooting each other will definitely be refreshing."

  "I do that, but I won't let you hit me, desu."

  She's so serious about every game...

  Following Izuna to the ste room, they retrieved the so-called tools (water guns).

  These weren't ordinary water guns, but high-end pump-a ohat could shoot farther.

  Haruya looked at the extra water guns and asked Izuna, who was fiddling with the trigger, "Just the two of us is too few. Are there others who would like to join?"

  "There are, desu." Izuna poio another door, "Many of the maid sisters have fiheir work and have free time now, desu."

  "Great, let's go!"

  With that, Haruya happily took Izuna's hand and ran toward the resting area of the beast-eared maids.

  Sihe beast-eared girls had nothing to do, six of them agreed to join Haruya and Izuna's invitation.

  The py area was the 70th floor. Each person would form their own team, and whoever's clothes got pletely wet first would be out of the game and face the punishment from the winner.

  "Thehe game begin, desu!"

  Everyone hid in different ers and ted down ten seds. Haruya, hiding under a wooden box he entrance, had no iion of actually winning...

  His reason was simple: as long as the beast-eared maids got wet, that was already a win in his books!

  Thinking this, footsteps sounded after the ten seds were up.

  The 70th floor wasn't rge, but it was more than enough to aodate eight pyers.

  In Haruya's mind, there were two bunny-eared girls and o-eared girl, these three needed special attention.

  Just as he fihinking and was about to run out, Izuna's voice came from behind, "First shot, I hit you, desu!"

  "Whoa!"

  His back was pletely soaked.

  'Alright...'

  ...

  << Checkpoint: Reload... >>

  "First shot, I hit you, des-!"

  Before Izuna's voice even finished, Haruya had already turned around and pulled the trigger.

  "——!"

  Izuna's eyes widened as she grabbed the nearby wall with her left hand, pulling herself out of the way and narrowly avoiding Haruya's shot.

  Even with Haruya's use of 'save scumming', she still dodged it.

  Truly, the physical prowess of the Werebeasts was unmatched... 'No, Izuna- herself is one of the best among them...'

  "Why... could you notice, desu?"

  "Because I could smell your st, Izuna-!"

  "Grandpa says people like that are definitely perverts who think with their lower half, desu."

  "…."

  After a brief exge of words and water gunfire, white streams of water dahrough the air, spttering against the walls behind them.

  Without hesitation, Haruya followed the sound of footsteps, chasing after Izuna as she disappeared into a corridor.

  The 70th floor was essentially a small ste area, with many items packed into metal crates.

  Haruya had expected Izuna to make some noise, but that assumption proved too naive.

  In just an instant, Izuna's presence vanished pletely.

  As Haruya stood there puzzled, a bunny-eared girl with a rge water gun in each hand and an equally rge... chest... emerged from the shadows.

  "I... I heard your voice!" Although the bunny-eared maid had excellent hearing, her... assets caused her to lose her banbsp;

  "Whoa!"

  As she stumbled, Haruya pulled the trigger, hitting her squarely in the chest.

  "Ah! So cold! S-stop shooting!"

  Even though she was defenseless, Haruya fired five or six more times... yes, until he was thhly satisfied.

  Looking at the soaked bunny-eared maid now huddled in the er, Haruya patted her head.

  "It's okay now."

  "Don't act like you care, you stinky Immanity!"

  "Sorry, sorry. Time to move on to the arget." Haruya proceeded cautiously.

  'Objective: Get all the beast-eared maids pletely soaked!'
