Chapter 112: Arm wrestling with Suguha
To go out to eat, you first have to change out of your armor and hakama clothes.
Mine Shiori and Ezaki Naoto did not follow them to the lounge, but chose to wait outside. This also made Sawayama Haruno, who walked to the door of the lounge, realized something belatedly.
"Suguha, where is the bathroom?"
He looked at Esaki Suguha who was standing at the door and was about to open the door and asked, "Should I take my clothes and change over there?"
"The bathroom should be being disinfected at this time."
Esaki Suguha said with a normal expression: "Because there are many people today."
".You didn't lie to me, did you?"
"I have no reason to lie to you."
After pushing the door open, Suguha Esaki glanced back at Haruno Sawayama and added: "And I don't need to do that. You are still wearing the clothes underneath, right? If that's the case, why are you worried?"
"Is there something wrong with your brain circuitry?"
Sawayama Haruno looked at her blankly.
For a moment, he felt that what the other party said was actually quite right.
After all, you are still wearing underwear, so just changing clothes is nothing, right? Otherwise, wouldn’t everyone who goes to the swimming pool be equivalent to being molested by someone else? No. Actively molest others?
All in all, it's almost the same thing. Since the more "strictly guarded" things are still on you, then you don't have to worry about being seen, right?
Sawayama Haruno felt that this seemed to be the case.
But reason quickly regained the upper hand.
"Forget it, you change first. I'll go in and change after you've changed." He coughed slightly, "Even if you are dressed properly, you still have to take precautions."
".All right."
Esaki Suguha thought for a while and agreed.
However, she did not close the door, but looked at Haruno Sawayama thoughtfully.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing the unabashed gaze of the other party, Sawayama Haruno became a little puzzled.
Isn't this guy still thinking about changing clothes together now? She is not such a person. If that is the case, why are she hesitating?
“One thing I care about.”
Esaki Suguha looked down at her palms and asked uncertainly: "How strong is Haruno?"
"strength?"
Seeing that this was what she was thinking about, Sawayama Haruno quickly relaxed and said with a smile: "I don't know the exact number, but in short it should be quite powerful if you use your full strength, right?"
This is not a lie. He has not substantively tested his physical condition since receiving the reward from the system.
But since the "skill improvement" ability is so strong, the "physical fitness improvement" that has always existed as a passive skill should be equally powerful.
It's just that he didn't pay much attention to discover it.
"Want to give it a try?"
Esaki Suguha looked at him and said suddenly.
"Try it, how strong are you?"
"try?"
Sawayama Haruno pondered slightly: "Is there any machine to test strength here? But it's okay. How to test it?"
"No need for anything like that."
Suguha Esaki took two steps back and made way for Haruno Sawayama to enter the lounge. At the same time, he did not forget to explain: "Just try it by arm wrestling."
".Me, a boy, arm wrestling with a girl?"
"Are you scared?"
"What a low-level provoking method." Haruno Sawayama smiled helplessly: "I'm worried that I didn't control my strength well and hurt you."
"I'm not that easily injured."
Seeing this, Suguha Ezaki also sighed and explained: "After all, I have been practicing kendo since I was a child. How could I be injured by arm wrestling? I am not like other thin girls."
"That seems to be true."
Sawayama Haruno thought for a while and said: "Then let's give it a try, but it can't last too long. After all, there are two people waiting for us outside."
Esaki Suguha showed a faint smile.
It's easy to try arm wrestling, after all, there happens to be a square three-legged table of moderate size in the lounge.
Esaki Suguha asked Haruno Sawayama to sit on the seat, and then he rubbed his wrist seriously for a long time, looking like he was serious about it.
Such a posture made Haruno Sawayama couldn't help but murmur in his heart, is this guy really coming?
But I also want to know how strong I am now.
Since that's the case, let's take it seriously.
Judging from the competition in today's exchange match and the previous actions of the opponent, Esaki Suguha's physical fitness is probably not any weaker than that of ordinary men.
In addition, the other party exercises regularly, so he can be better than the guys around him who don't like to exercise, right?
“Are you ready?”
After thinking about it, Suguha Esaki was already sitting in front of him.
Sawayama Haruno responded casually, and then put his hand on the table.
Looking at the opponent's obviously fair and generous right hand, Esaki Suguha couldn't help but pursed her lips, and then gently held it.
"That"
Her beautiful eyes swept over Sawayama Haruno's face, and then she quickly lowered her gaze and whispered, "Let's begin."
The moment the words fell, a force burst out from the opponent's outstretched right hand.
But unfortunately, it is a bit too insignificant for Haruno Sawayama.
He blinked, not in a hurry to knock the other party down, but planned to save some face for the other party later.
"Don't worry about me, just break it off"
Sensing Sawayama Haruno's thoughts, Esaki Suguha immediately said: "If you dare to let it go, I'll treat you to dinner later."
"This is not okay."
Sawayama Haruno smiled helplessly, "I still plan to kill Naoha, in this case."
As he said that, he also exerted a little more force.
There was only a slight "bang" sound, and Esaki Suguha's wrist was knocked down on the table without any suspense.
"Don't let go." She suddenly shouted in a low voice, "Just keep pushing."
Immediately afterwards, she also tried to break her wrist back.
Looking up from Haruno Sawayama's perspective, he could see her slightly stubborn eyes, as if she didn't want to lose no matter what.
Ordinary people wouldn't work so hard in arm wrestling that they would almost bite their lips, right?
He thought to himself that the opponent was really a standard sports protagonist, so unwilling to lose to others. But, it seemed that the only thing Esaki Suguha was good at was this aspect, so it was normal not to want to lose.
In this case, you must also respect your opponent and cannot deliberately lose to the opponent because of his gender, otherwise she will definitely be seen through by her who "can see through lies".
Thinking like this, Haruno Sawayama increased the strength in his hands and "suppressed" Suguha Esaki.
He didn't seem to realize how hard he used to hold the other person's hand.
So much so that Esaki Suguha's face turned red and something gradually became wrong.
