Editing Masou Gakuen HxH:Volume 11 Third Period (section)

===Part 9===

All of the dishes were delicious. They ate yuzu orange sherbet for dessert, then they took a breather while drinking tea. They had after meal rest for a while, but just staying inside the room was boring, and they had gotten really heated up with the card game, so it felt like it would be boorish to continue more than that.

「Then, how about we loiter inside the inn for a bit?」

With Yurishia’s suggestion, it was decided for them to explore the inn.

First they went out of the room and tried going to the lobby. The lobby was spacious, it was a pleasant space. A large flower arrangement was put at the center, and decoration like colorful and vivid folk crafts were decorating the wall, giving a beautiful impression. A woman wearing a kimono was standing by at the modern counter that was illuminated by indirect lighting, when their eyes met the woman bowed naturally.

A corner of the lobby was turned into a souvenir shop, they spent their time there for a while.

Yurishia was only picking peculiar things, starting from things like wooden sword or pennant, while Himekawa, Aine, and Sylvia each bought box of sweets as souvenirs for everyone in their class.

With bag filled with snacks on hand, they further looked around the inn. Yurishia requested an express home delivery service, so her hands were empty.

「What is this place desu?」

Sylvia peered into a dark room with its lighting turned off.

「The recreation room……I think.」

Himekawa read the letters that were written above the door. Her hand crawled on the wall around the entrance, and when her search found the lamp switch, it became bright inside the room.

There was a shelve on the wall, lined up with a variety of board game. But, what attracted their eyes the most was the large green table placed at the center of the room. Their gaze was attracted to that table where a net at the center was dividing the table between left and right areas.

「Is that……a ping-pong table.」

Four rackets and several balls were prepared at the shelves on the wall.

「Waa─, it’s ping-pong desu! Sylvia wants to try it desu♪」

Yurishia’s voice also sounded excited.

「Table tennis is it? I have never played it before, but it looks interesting.」

Aine spoke gravely as though to pour cold water on the fun atmosphere.

「No, this is a different game called 『hot spring ping-pong』 just so you know.」

「Aine-san……you are blurting something strange again.」

Himekawa massaged her temple.

「Hot spring ping-pong, it’s a traditional contest that had been continued in Japan since the Showa era. All people who traveled to hot springs are regarded as the contestants of this contest.」

Yurishia folded her arms in admiration.

「Hee……is Aine an experienced player I wonder?」

「No way. I have never done it before.」

It felt like a *gaku-* sound could be heard from how Yurishia and Himekawa’s mental state slid down.

However, Aine continued her explanation proudly.

「It’s an absurd contest that is only similar with ping-pong. It has a peculiar difficulty……I heard.」

Sylvia who was listening seriously tilted her head in the middle.

「In other words, this is something like volley ball and beach volley desu?」

Aine nodded with a serious face.

「The difference with the normal ping-pong is how this contest is done while wearing yukatas. Other than that the contestants only wear a set of slippers. Also the rule isn’t that strict……in short, if the ball that fell on the opponent’s court couldn’t be returned back then it’s their defeat.」

Aine looked around the faces of everyone. It seemed, not to mention hot spring ping-pong, the others had never even played the normal ping-pong. ‘In that case──’, Aine’s lips loosened.

「How about we settle everything with this? I am told that in the past this hot spring ping-pong was used to deepen friendships while at the same time that match was also used to decide the pecking order.」

──’If it’s a contest that demands a simple physical ability, it should be advantageous for me. I’ll win this and wash away the disgrace from the card game just now! And not just that, I’ll make them recognize me as the main force of Amaterasu……like that Kizuna’s main partner will be……♡’

「What are you doing grinning by yourself like that, disgusting.」

Aine returned to her senses after that tsukkomi from Himekawa.

「Hah! It, it’s nothing at all! Ra, rather than that how about it? You all scared?」

Yurishia’s eyebrows twitched up.

「Fufun♪ Isn’t this interesting.」

However Himekawa seemed disinclined.

「Well, if it’s just for recreation……」

Sylvia brought the rackets and balls that were placed on the shelves and looked up to Himekawa.

「This looks fun desu.」

Stared by that innocent smile, Himekawa sighed.

「I understand. Then, let’s give it a try.」

Saying that, Himekawa accepted the racket.

 

Like that the first Amaterasu hot spring ping-pong tournament was started.

 

First match, Aine VS Himekawa.

「This is the end-!」

Aine’s full power attack burst. The ball pounded Himekawa’s court with a terrifying speed and it rebounded with changed angle, grazing Himekawa’s racket and slipped through.

「Eh!?」

Sylvia quickly raised her hand.

「Aine-san’s victory desuuu!」

Himekawa’s shoulders dropped in dejection.

「Haa……I lost.」

The winner Aine made a composed smile and tapped on Himekawa’s shoulder.

「Don’t feel down Hayuru. It can’t be helped with the gap between our ability.」

「This is because Aine-san was making your pointlessly huge breasts keep jiggling, that I couldn’t concentrate on the match!」

「Wha-!」

Aine’s cheeks reddened in a flash and she hid her breasts with her arms.

「Ufufu~n♪ If Aine caused that, then when you see my play, you are going to faint you know♡」

Yurishia closed her one eye and stood before the ping-pong table.

「Both of you, please at least wear underwear! That’s shameful-!」

「It’s fine. There is no one else here except us anyway.」

Yurishia did practice swings lightly while saying that. Yurishia’s explosive tits were shaking, looking like they were going to jump out from behind her thin yukata anytime.

In contrast with those tits──,

「Please treat me well deesu♪」

Small tits, or rather they were flat. Sylvia hopped up and down *pyon pyon* but they didn’t bounce at all. Seeing Sylvia hopping up and down with an excited expression, Yurishia, Himekawa, Aine, the three went──,

‘……So cute♡’

Their heart spontaneously calmed down.

「──But, I won’t go easy on you.」

Yurishia unleashed a service with her full strength right from the start.

And then, after several rally, the match was decided.

「Aa~ Sylvia lost desuuu~」

Sylvia was frustrated with her eyes turned into cross marks.

「But, you are quite something. It’s amazing how you returned my attack like that.」

「You’re right. The aim of your serves was also pin point. If that was accompanied with power, wouldn’t it become dangerous for Yurishia-san?」

「And most of all, your speed and instantaneous power are good aren’t they? Also your counterattacking motion was fast, it was amazing. Is that because of your light weight I wonder?」

Although Sylvia lost, she received high praises. The praises caused Sylvia to withdraw into herself in humility.

──And then the final was Aine VS Yurishia.

「Both of you please do your best desuu~」

「Aine-san! You won against me, so I’ll be troubled if you don’t become the champion!」

Amidst the two’s heated cheer, Aine and Yurishia glared at each other. Aine who obtained the right for the first serve from the rock-paper-scissor game held the ball in one hand and a racket in her other hand, and she took her stance.

──’It’s coming!’

Yurishia’s eyes shined.

Aine swung her racket with a shocking speed and sent the ball flying. At that time Yurishia was already moving.

「How naïve, Aine!」

Yurishia hit the ball back aiming at the very edge of Aine’s court.

「The naïve one is you!」

Aine moved agilely and she twisted her body while hitting the ball back. It was a movement that was unthinkable coming from someone wearing a slipper.

「Now you’ve done it!」

Yurishia reached out her arm towards the ball that flew in diagonal line and caught it. She hit back with her breasts largely shaking *barun*. Aine’s body immediately turned around towards the spot where the ball landed and she hit back the ball while rotating. The belt of her yukata loosened and the hem stretched, exposing the white underwear underneath.

「Hah!」

Yurishia swung her racket from below with a form as though she was scooping up. Her breasts rose up greatly and the joint of her yukata spread. Not to mention the valley of her breasts, her very breasts themselves could be seen in a glance.

「Aa……what a shameless contest this is.」

Himekawa’s face turned bright red and she covered her face with the racket her hands were holding.

「Both of them are amazing desu! Do your best deesu-!」

Sylvia who acted as the referee jumped up and down in excitement.

The rally of the two were also getting heated as though the excitement of the audience was transmitted to them.

「Teeii!」

「Haaahh!」

When Aine returned, Yurishia returned back. This should be her first time, but Yurishia immediately learned the trick and attacked Aine with all her techniques. On the other hand Aine opposed Yurishia with her natural speed and motor reflexes.

The heated rally continued. It was to the point of making one thought that perhaps the rally would continue like this forever.

「Damn i-……!」

Aine reflexively blurted. Perhaps her attention relaxed because she got used to the rally. It was nice that she managed to return the ball that was landing at the edge of her court, but by mistake she hit it half-bakedly. That ball was falling smack dab at the middle of Yurishia’s court. On the other hand, there was a large distance from the table until Aine’s body. Yurishia’s lips formed a wide grin.

「Now, finally it’s my showtime!」

Yurishia widened her legs and twisted her waist. Her thighs until her waist joint became exposed, and her gorgeous lacey underwear showed up.

「HELL FIREEE!!」

Yurishia rotated her upper body with all her strength, and her huge breasts protruded out from her yukata due to the centrifugal force. The ball was greatly transformed and struck at Aine’s court with terrific speed.

──’Kuh!’

Aine’s face distorted.

──’I win!’

The moment Yurishia was convinced of her victory,

「This is not the end yet!」

Aine threw her racket.

「Eh!?」

The racket bounced on Aine’s court and slid in front of the ball, and the ball was repelled. However there was no force in the ball. The ball gently jumped up, drawing a large parabolic arc and falling toward Yurishia’s court.

「That’s amazing Aine. But……」

Yurishia’s eyes shined glaringly.

Because Aine threw her racket from a forced stance, Aine looked like she was going to fall. She somehow held on standing, but she was far away from the table.

「The next one is your finish!」

Yurishia brandished her racket far away and she waited for the ball to fall with a stance that was even bigger than before.

「……-!」

Aine recovered her stance and she leaped toward her own court. It was a distance of less than one or two meters. However, that distance was fatal in this hot spring ping-pong. Furthermore Aine’s hand wasn’t holding anything. She had no weapon(racket) to defend against Yurishia’s attack. The match was already decided.

Yurishia’s sure kill smash that was filled with all her strength roared.

The motion energy that was produced by her body was concentrated in one point and struck.

Piercing everything, and destroy.

The belt of Yurishia’s yukata already came off, and a naked body with only a single underwear was exposed. In exchange of exposing that beautiful body, the immoral smash was launched.

「Crosshead!!」

A severe energy that was impossible according to the law of physics was granted to the ball. The ball assaulted Aine’s court. It was like a fireball. A small bomb.

Aine had no more meand to return this blow.

──That was how it was supposed to be.

「HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

Aine swung her arm toward the ball.

However it was impossible to properly hit the ball back with a bare hand. And yet──,

The sure kill Crosshead was returned back.

「Pulverizer!!」

Cold sweat trickled all over Yurishia’s body.

「Wha-……!?」

In Aine’s hand, a slipper that her foot wore was being held.

「That slipper is……Pulverizer!?」

Yurishia stared at Aine with a warped face.

Himekawa also gripped her racket tightly and her body unconsciously leaned forward.

──’What a death match! The outward appearance is really shameless though!’

Aine’s yukata also laid bare her breasts with its hem spread open widely. Her belt right now was also nothing more than a string that was tied on her waist.

The ball that was hit back with that much feeling was──,

Yurishia calmly stared at the ball flying towards her.

──’After all it’s just a ball that was hit back with a slipper. Naturally there is no force in it! In that case!’

「The next attack will be The End! Make a cross sign, Aine!」

A wrinkle was carved between Aine’s eyebrows and a drop of sweat trickled down.

At the corner of her sight, Sylvia and Himekawa who were watching the match were reflected.

「Hayuru-!」

Aine reached out her hand.

Himekawa guessed everything from that action.

「Crosshead!!」

The lance that would pierce everything was fired from Yurishia’s racket once more. The ball attacked with a force that could open a hole on the ping-pong ball.

「Blade!!」

Himekawa threw the racket in her hand towards Aine.

Without any hesitation, the racket flew straight towards Aine.

And then, Aine’s fingers grasped Himekawa’s Blade(racket).

「HAAAH!」

The racket caught the ball. Aine frowned and endured the impact on her fingers. Her exposed breasts bounced greatly, and sweat scattered.

「GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!」

She swung Himekawa’s racket to the end, and Aine returned back Yurishia’s sure kill Crosshead.

「Such thing-……!?」

The ball caused a vortex of air and attacked Yurishia’s court. The moment it hit the court’s edge, a terrific shockwave destroyed the ping-pong table. The explosive wind cut apart Yurishia’s yukata and tore it off.

「!? KyaAaAAAaaaAAaaNNNNN—-NNNN-!!!」

[[Image:Masou Gakuen HxH V11 BW 07.jpg|thumb]]

The explosive shockwave blew away Yurishia’s body until the sofa on the wall.

The match was decided.

「GAME SET DESUUUU! THE WINNER IS AINE-SAN DEEESU!!」

Yurishia raised a lamenting voice ‘aaaaa’ before she approached Aine.

「That was amazing Aine. Against your tenacity……I lost.」

After saying that with a sweaty body and a flushed face, she presented her right hand.

「Yurishia……」

Aine was also sweaty with her shoulders heaving up and down violently. And then, with a sigh ‘fuh’ and a soft smile she shook her head.

「That was because I received Hayuru’s help.」

「Eh……」

Himekawa stared at Aine in surprise.

「Thank you, Hayuru.」

「Eh, no, that……」

Himekawa’s cheeks reddened.

And then Aine’s right hand reached out towards Yurishia. However it wasn’t for a handshake.

「Aine?」

Aine grasped Yurishia’s wrist and raised that arm high in the air. As though to praise Yurishia’s victory.

「As expected from the world’s strongest.」

「Aine……」

Sylvia who saw the exchange between the three let out a tear from feeling moved.

「The three of you, are really pretty desu……Sylvia, is moved desu.」

Himekawa’s eyes were also slightly teary and her cheeks blushed.

「Yes……but, enough already with that, both of you please fix your yukata quickly……」
