Chapter 265: 121. Asuka, who slacks off during training, has to pay the price. _6
"Senior, you’re cheating!"
"You two watch closely; this is my real strength!"
"Eh, the paper’s out."
"Let’s go, let’s pick up the ones outside and continue competing!"
On the sunlit lawn, paper airplanes swirled endlessly, patches of bush clover and foxtail grass grew wildly. Through the green leaves of the bush clover, it seemed like several butterflies were fluttering. The cat chased after the butterflies and the paper airplanes, tumbling over several times.
"Himeko, do you think this is okay?" Mrs. Hoshimi folded her arms, looking worried.
"Why not?" Mrs. Kasahara looked at the yard, her youngest daughter clutching a paper airplane in both hands, joyfully running on the grass. In the bright sunlight, her face, so much like her own, appeared so fair it was almost translucent.
"She’s led my Rinko astray." Mrs. Hoshimi glanced at her own daughter’s equally flawless face.
"There needs to be a balance between work and rest." Mrs. Kasahara smiled gently, pulling out her phone to start recording a video.
Mrs. Hoshimi also took out her phone, not forgetting to tease her friend, "I finally understand why your Xiangxiang has such a bad temper; it’s all because you spoil her."
"A daughter is born to be spoiled, isn’t she?" Mrs. Kasahara replied carefreely.
"Rinko, look over here." Mrs. Hoshimi called while holding up her phone, snapping a shot of her daughter’s surprised expression as she turned around.
Mrs. Kasahara also called out, "Xiangxiang, strike a pose!"
Kasahara Asuka jumped, turning mid-air and flashed a vibrant smile at the camera, "Yeah——"
"My Rinko is still the cutest."
"My Xiangxiang is cuter."
"Your Xiangxiang is spoiled and unreasonable!"
"Your Rinko is aloof, lacking any feminine charm!"
"What do you mean by that, Himeko?"
"I could ask the same of you, Yako!"
"How about a little practice?"
"Sure——"
The three youngsters looked at each other...
"... I’m so hungry."
"I’m hungry too."
"... Let’s go."
"Okay."
Behind them, the two ladies started sparring from the veranda, gradually moving to the yard. Their elegant figures blended harmoniously with the lawn, sunlight, and flowers, becoming the most beautiful part of the scenery.
You won’t hurt each other doing that... Fujiwara Reya thought to himself.
Back to the dining room, they gathered around the table for lunch.
Besides the sumptuous meal, Mrs. Kasahara also thoughtfully provided chilled watermelon and grapes.
In the sweet and relaxed atmosphere, they chatted while discussing the afternoon’s plans.
"Is this afternoon for physical training?" Mrs. Kasahara asked Fujiwara Reya.
She wore a white shirt, its buttons now barely holding after the recent tussle, and the shirt seemed a size or two too small, with the chest area strained awkwardly.
"It has to be martial arts!" Fujiwara Reya reluctantly tore his gaze away, munching on the sweet watermelon, "You shrine maidens are all so weak; without the Divine Power, you’re just ordinary weak women. How can you not learn some self-defense?"
"How do you plan to train us?"
"Starting with simple weight training, we’ll build up your strength first, then move on to a bit of combat techniques and swordsmanship."
"How much weight?"
"Asuka and Rinko will start with 10 kilos, and both of you sisters with 20 kilos."
"Why me too?" Mrs. Kasahara huffed, arrogantly declaring, "As the chairman, I order you to scrap any idea of training me!"
Her demeanor was much like Asuka’s in the car yesterday... Fujiwara Reya shook his head, resolutely saying, "As adults, you should set an example for the youngsters!"
"I think you’re just itching to bully us!" Mrs. Hoshimi bluntly called out his thoughts.
"This watermelon is so delicious!" Fujiwara Reya remarked, holding a big piece of watermelon, then burst into laughter.
"I hope he’ll go easy on us two old ladies..." Mrs. Hoshimi gave Mrs. Kasahara a knowing look of shared suffering, "Himeko, since you don’t have any shame, maybe you should persuade him to be gentler."
"Ha~"
Mrs. Kasahara lazily yawned.
Under her influence, the two young girls seemed to feel a little weary as well, and the conversation ended there.
"Let’s take a nap." Fujiwara Reya suggested to the visibly tired Hoshimi Rinko, "When the sun isn’t so harsh at three o’clock in the afternoon, we’ll head to the beach for training."
"Uh-huh."
Hoshimi Rinko nodded without objection and got up to return to her room.
"Asuka is taking the afternoon off!" Kasahara Asuka declared, trying to slip away before Fujiwara Reya could refuse.
"Hold on!" Fujiwara Reya grabbed her wrist.
Kasahara Asuka pleaded pitifully, "Senior, I’m so tired~"
"That trick won’t work!" Fujiwara Reya smiled slightly.
"Mom~" Kasahara Asuka turned to her mom, begging, "Xiangxiang worked hard this morning, and now even my legs are weak."
"She fell asleep while meditating." Mrs. Hoshimi reported like a teacher to a parent.
"Asleep?" Mrs. Kasahara was surprised, looking at her daughter with that strange expression as if to say: Can you even fall asleep during that?
"Hehe~"
Kasahara Asuka didn’t argue, only acted cute.
"I’m done dealing with you. Mr. Fujiwara, make sure to teach her a good lesson!" Mrs. Kasahara smiled exasperatedly, leaving the dining room with Mrs. Hoshimi.
Once they were alone, Fujiwara Reya brought out a frame, with a glass ball suspended by a string in the center.
"Kneel over here."
"Oh..." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Kasahara Asuka reluctantly kneeled down.
The glass ball was level with her smooth forehead, only about ten centimeters away.
"Watch carefully," Fujiwara Reya sat opposite her, placing his curved finger near the edge of the glass ball: "I might at any moment..."
Halfway through his sentence, he flicked the glass ball.
Before half a second passed, the glass ball struck her smooth forehead with a dull thud.
"Ouch, it hurts..." Kasahara Asuka covered her forehead, glaring at him angrily.
"Hands down!" Fujiwara Reya commanded sternly.
Kasahara Asuka, feeling wronged, put her hands down.
"Your biggest problem is lacking focus; you’re easily distracted no matter what you do..." Fujiwara Reya explained to her, "This method can effectively and quickly train your concentration. Starting today, you’ll practice for two hours every afternoon, no absence allowed!"
"What?" Kasahara Asuka was so shocked she turned a bit pale.
With a flick, the glass ball struck her forehead again, leaving a red mark.
"I refuse to believe I can’t dodge it!" Kasahara Asuka took a few deep breaths, eyes wide, watching the glass ball closely. However, this time, Fujiwara Reya didn’t flick the ball immediately, and as she watched, she began feeling sleepy.
With a flick, the glass ball hit her forehead again.
"..." Kasahara Asuka shivered in fright, and once she came back to her senses, she pouted her lips and burst into tears on the spot, "Waaa, I don’t want to play anymore, Asuka wants to sleep..."
Flick!
"Waaaa... I’m ignoring you!"
Flick!
"Asuka wants to go back to Tokyo, waaa!" As she said this, Kasahara Asuka wiped her tears and was about to get up and run out. But at that moment, a Spirit Talisman floated in from outside the dining room and pressed her back to her original position.
"In two hours, the spell will naturally dissipate."
Her mother’s cold, indifferent voice reached her ears, and Kasahara Asuka’s tear-laden eyes overflowed even more, tears streaming down like a fountain.
