Chapter 57: Saying Things I Shouldn’t Say

　　Even though Black Seele is always so aggressive every time she comes out, she may actually be the easiest one to deal with.

　　There's no way, her defense is too low. Get a little closer and Black Seele's defense collapses in an instant. That desire for touch, desire for recognition, but also the awkward shyness due to tsundere is so cute.

　　"That's your business."

　　I feel helpless about what happened to Seele. After all, who made her have such bad intentions in the first place?

　　"It's obviously my brother who bullied the other me..."

　　Ignoring Seele's tiny complaints, Minamiya Yu pushed Seele aside, stood up and stretched.

　　It’s a pity that it’s not afternoon now, otherwise I could hold Seele and take a nap.

　　The volleyball match not far away had come to a temporary end. Minamiya Yu touched Seele's little head and took over Seele's job of delivering drinks.

　　There is no other way. The child still needs to be coaxed. Seele’s problem naturally needs to be solved by Seele herself.

　　Minamiya Yu picked up the tray with a few glasses of juice and some cut fruits on it, and in her other hand she was holding a big watermelon.

　　The glaring sunlight outside the parasol made Minamiya Yu squint his eyes, and he felt warm all over.

　　"Ayu, here, here!!"

　　Ely, who had been paying attention to him, soon spotted Minamiya Yu approaching and immediately stood up and waved to him happily.

　　With both hands occupied, Minamiya Yu could only smile and nod, then quickened his pace and came to them.

　　"Where's Seele?"

　　Bronya picked up a glass of orange juice and drank it while looking behind Minamiya Yu in confusion.

　　It's a bit abnormal that the little follower didn't catch up.

　　"I'm shutting myself in."

　　"?"

　　Noticing Minamiya Yu's amused expression, Bronya frowned in confusion.

　　"Don't worry, she just screwed herself. I didn't bully her."

　　Minamiya Yu also picked up a glass of orange juice and clinked the glass with Ely, then turned his gaze to Ely who was drinking heartily.

　　"Ha~ So satisfying."

　　After drinking a glass of juice, Ely squinted her eyes comfortably.

　　Looking at the slightly bigger belly, Minamiya Yu always felt that there was some fat around her waist.

　　"What's wrong, Yu? Are you mesmerized by Elysia's beautiful appearance? Hehe, you can praise me anytime~"

　　Pinching her waist, Ely bent over and winked at Minamiya Yu cutely with an affectionate smile on her face.

　　Unfortunately, Minamiya Yu's sight was attracted by the fingers that were slightly sunk into the soft flesh on her waist. She didn't know if she had a brain attack, but she said something subconsciously.

　　"Elysia, have you gained weight?"

　　"......"

　　Elysia's smiling expression froze.

　　"puff!!!"

　　Kiana was drinking juice and it spurted out.

　　Bronya was stunned for a moment, then looked like she was having fun.

　　Mei widened her eyes and looked at him, opening her mouth, not knowing whether to say something.

　　Sirin was also silenced by this sentence, and looked at Minamiya Yu with eyes full of pity.

　　"Hehe, Ely didn't quite understand what Ayu just said."

　　With her fingertips lightly lifting the hair on the side of her forehead, Ely's indifferent eyes became threatening.

　　As a cute girl who weighs 54.8 kg (not rounded off), Ely would never admit that she has gained weight.

　　Minamiya Yu realized that she had said something wrong and quickly smiled: "No, no, no, I didn't mean that. Sister Ely is so beautiful, how could she gain weight?"

　　"Yes, yes, Ely is so cute, how could she get fat? Ayu, please don't talk nonsense."

　　Good brother Kiana immediately helped out and said something, and Minamiya Yu immediately gave her a moved look.

　　"It may just be a slip of the tongue, don't take it seriously, Elysia."

　　Mei also eased the atmosphere.

　　"Yes, yes, Yu just said what was in his heart accidentally, Sister Ely, please don't take it seriously."

　　Ely's expression had been gradually improving, but it immediately darkened again after hearing these words.

　　Minamiya Yu turned around suddenly and saw Bronya giggling behind him.

　　Bronya, you plotted against me!

　　Unfortunately, before he could go and cause trouble for Bronya, Elysia's slender hand was already on his shoulder.

　　"Ayu~"

　　The faint voice coming from his ears made him suddenly nervous.

　　"Sister Elysia, I'm here."

　　"Can you play a game with me?"

　　"...Can I refuse?"

　　"Hmm, guess?"

　　......

　　More than ten minutes later, Minamiya Yu was buried in the sand, with only his head exposed. Next to him was the big watermelon he had just taken.

　　“Left, left!!”

　　"No, no, it's on the right!!"

　　Ely covered her eyes with a cloth and turned around a few times from 20 meters away. Then, following the sound, she walked towards Minamiya Yu step by step, holding a long wooden sword in her hand that was kindly provided by Mei.

　　Kiana, Sirin and Bronya stood aside, happily pointing the direction for Ely.

　　Looking at Kiana who kept pointing him in the direction, Minamiya Yu sighed silently. He thought she was a good brother, but he didn't expect that he was wrong in the end.

　　Soon, Ely approached Minamiya Yu little by little, and the wooden sword in her hand began to hesitate on the head and watermelon shell.

　　He raised his head with great effort, but the trembling towering object blocked his view, preventing him from seeing Elysia's expression.

　　After a while, Elysia finally made up her mind.

　　The wooden sword was also standing straight above Minamiya Yu's head.

　　Seeing this, he could only sigh helplessly, then closed his eyes and wait for death.

　　I don't think Elysia would be too harsh.

　　As she was thinking this, she heard a sharp sound of wind. Elysia clenched her hands and waved her arms vigorously below.

　　Just as Minamiya Yu was waiting for the pain to come, he suddenly felt something was wrong. It had been so long, why hadn't the pain been gone yet?

　　He opened his eyes in confusion and saw a brown wooden sword only a few centimeters away from his head. Elysia was looking down at him with a happy smile on her face after her prank had succeeded.

　　"Boom~"

　　Their eyes met, Ely uttered an onomatopeia playfully, and then wooden sword gently tapped him on the head.

　　"Well, I didn't hit the watermelon. Looks like I lost."

　　Throwing the wooden sword aside, Elysia knelt on the sand with a "whoosh", bent down and gently helped him clean the little bit of sand on his face.

　　The sea breeze blew, and the long pink hair brushed across his cheeks, making him feel a little itchy.

　　Looking at that serious expression with a smile, feeling the touch of fingertips on his cheek and behind his ears, listening to the gentle voice of Ely in his ears, Minamiya Yu's eyes fixed and his heartbeat gradually began to accelerate.

　　Hiccup~

　　Kiana clearly didn't eat anything, but she felt full. Beside her, Bronya's originally happy smile slowly disappeared, and she watched the scene in silence.
