Chapter 30

In this beach volleyball competition held by the seaside of Okinawa, contestants need to be in groups of two, regardless of gender or age.

The championship reward is that when the shrine holds a summer festival not far away three days later, they can wear very gorgeous dresses prepared by the shrine, ancient Japanese noble couples' dresses.

After Dabao Pingren learned the rules of the game, he went to the grocery store to buy a volleyball practice hand.

"Master, do you want to participate in the competition with us?" Xiaohumaru suddenly came over and asked.

"Impossible, a pair of two, taking me up would be a hindrance." The judge waved his hand.

"It's okay! Leave it to Xiaohu, you just need to stand by the side!" Xiaohumaru continued to suggest.

"Hey! What nonsense are you talking about! How can you let the Lord stand under the sun!" A dissenting speech from Yaki Hasebe.

"The master has the right to decide, why are you joining in the fun?" Xiaohumaru looked at him displeased.

"If the Lord wants the championship reward, just say so. I will do my best to win it for you!" Yaki Hasebe solemnly held the hand of the judge with both hands as if swearing an oath, and was immediately captured The little fox ball was pulled away.

"You two are so interested, then you two go to the competition as a team." The judge said lightly.

"Ah?! Lord! I, I don't want to be with him." Yakiri Hasebe looked at Xiaohumaru and shook his head hastily.

"Master, Xiaohu doesn't want to either." Xiaohumaru maintained the same opinion with Yaki Hasebe on this matter.

The God Judge frowned, Er Ren immediately fell silent.

"Hahahaha, Young Blade is really energetic."

When it was noon, the god judge stood up and planned to go to the sea house next to him for something to eat.She glanced back, and the five swordsmen sitting on the ground got up tacitly and followed.

They ordered simple curry and omelet rice, but the food made by this kind of storefront that is almost monopolized by tourist attractions is very ordinary.

It didn’t happen that Candlestick cut Guangzhong’s part-time cooking to earn extra money, they just decided to change to another restaurant next time.

In the afternoon, the short knives from Kuritaguchi came to go swimming with the judge.

The appraiser told them that he could not swim and could only watch them swim in shallow water.

She took off the feathered jacket on her body, and stretched out her hand to brush her long hair behind her back. When Xiaohumaru saw the clear scar on her back, her heart was pulled hard.

The judge uncomfortably pulled up the shoulder straps, she hardly ever wore clothes with such a small amount of fabric.

"Master, since you are going to go into the water, you can't do without sunscreen." Candlestick Qie Guangzhong said, and took out the previous small bottle.The sunscreen, which is small in size, looks extraordinarily small in the big hands of men.

The judge turned around hesitantly, although it is true that he needs to wear sunscreen, but——

She looked at the five men with swords sitting on the ground, took sunscreen from the candlestick Kiri Mitsutada, and shouted to Fudo Xingguang who was sitting under a tree drinking fruit wine not far away: "Moji, come here."

Fudoxing was just leaning on the tree drinking and drinking happily, when he heard the voice of the judge, he reluctantly stood up and walked over slowly: "Hi...why did you ask me to come here, it seems that I don't need any help ?”

The god judge originally wanted to send him and Yaken Toshiro to practice, but because Yaken Toshiro just decided to go out, so after Yaken Toshiro came back, Fudo Yukimitsu's practice was postponed.

The judge handed him the sunscreen: "Help me apply sunscreen, just put it on my back."

"Ah...?" Fudo Xingguang looked at the judge strangely, "There--there are so many big guys next to you, do you want me to paint it for you?"

"Yes, my lord! If you want to wear sunscreen, just tell me to do so." Yakiri Hasebe said.

The appraiser glanced at him, didn't speak, and bent over the thin sheet.Are you kidding me, it's too dangerous to give this group of Taidao swordsmen.

"Okay..." Fudo Xingguang put the fruit wine aside resignedly, knelt down beside the god judge, squeezed out a little sunscreen and applied it between the palms of his hands, then pressed it on the god judge's back .

"Hi...what's the matter with the injury on your back?" Fudo Xingguang asked casually, and the five men with swords beside him paused.

"The old wound from before." The judge replied lightly.

While thinking about why people's hands can't be flexible enough to apply sunscreen on their backs, the examiner stared at the candlestick in front of him, Kie Guangzhong's knees sitting on the ground in a daze, until he felt that the straps on the back were loosened, and the swimsuit was actually taken off. When it opened, the entire back was exposed in an instant.

"..." The judge was stunned for a second, and immediately reacted, retracting the arm pressed under the chin to the side to cover the unexplained chest, turning his head to look at Fudo Xingguang: "Why do you untie my belt?" ?”

Fudo Xingguang looked at her blankly: "Huh? Oh... I didn't solve it, it was Candlestick Cut."

The judge raised his head and glanced at Qie Guangzhong, the candlestick in front of him. The latter looked at her with her arms on the ground, not daring to raise her upper body against the ground, and said with a smile: "You can't just because you are wearing a bathing suit Never mind."

The judge angrily turned away his face and stopped talking.

After Fudo Xingguang finished applying the sunscreen, the god judge fastened his clothes and got up quickly, and after applying it to other places he could reach, he ran to the beach with the swimming ring that Mikazuki Zongjin got from somewhere.

After the judge left, Fudo Xingguang touched the thin sheet on the floor, took his own fruit wine and sat under the umbrella and did not leave.

Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada looked at Xiaohumaru and Yakiri Hasebe: "Just now she put you in a team, why don't you go practice your hands?"

"Who wants to be with this guy..." Yaki Hasebe said unwillingly.

"Hahahaha... But you won't go against the little girl's decision, will you?" Sanri Yuezong didn't even look at him.

"Since the master has arranged for the battle, let's go." Xiaohumaru stood up. He was wearing the vest haori and big pants chosen for him by the judge of the gods. Because he planned to end the event, he took off the clogs and haori on his feet. Throw it aside.

"For the sake of the Lord, let me take No. 1." Hasebe also stood up, and also took off the short-sleeved shirt outside the vest, and walked with Xiaohumaru to Dabahei and the others who were practicing by the sea .

"Ah..." Candlestick Qie Guangzhong thought about what happened to Da Baoping just now, and reminded them belatedly, "Forget about the first one, you should leave it to Da Baoping."

However, Er Ren, who wanted to train wholeheartedly, didn't hear it.

They found Dabaoping, because Yingmaru is not very good at this kind of sport, he has been practicing with Sao Sujian for a while.

Although Xiaohumaru and Hasebe were not in the right direction on weekdays, they unexpectedly cooperated tacitly after standing on the court.

While catching the ball, Xiaohuwan took a peek at the appraiser who was soaking in the swimming pool in the sea not far away.

She holds a timer and judges the men of swords who compete in swimming.Perhaps it was because the men with swords and swords swam too hard, and a big wave rushed towards the god judge following their movements. The god judge was squeezed by the swaying sea water and slipped into the sea water from the swimming circle.

"Master!" Xiaohuwan screamed, threw the ball in his hand and ran to the sea.The men with swords and swords who were training together ran over after discovering the abnormality.

And just when they arrived at the seashore, the god judge was lifted out of the sea by a strange man.

This is a human male in the 21st century, with a strong figure and handsome face that is not inferior to the sword man. With a polite smile, he held the woman's arm and pulled her up.

Xiaohuwan on the shore stopped breathing, and his eyes were covered with mist.

"...Thank you." The interrogator still had a look on his face, and thanked the other party in a daze.

"You're welcome, it's just a matter of raising your hands." The man said, and put the swimming ring on the side back on the chest of the judge. "It's approaching evening, the waves are a little anxious, please be careful not to fall into the sea again."

The judge nodded and watched the man leave.

"Master—! Are you okay?!" The short knives who were competing in the swimming rushed over, "Woooo...it's all our fault that caused you to almost have an accident."

The judge smiled and touched the tops of their heads: "I don't blame you. How could something happen in such shallow water?"

"Master, are you okay?" Xiaohumaru who rushed to her side asked, eagerly stretched out his hand to touch his master, but retracted it in mid-air.

"Master! You don't know how to swim, so why go into the water, just stand on the shore and watch for them." There was some sense of reproach in Yaki Hasebe's tone.

"Okay, I'm not a child." The judge looked up at the sky, "It's getting late, let's go back."

"You——ah..." Hasebe had no choice but to say no more.

The men with swords also followed behind the god judge, packed up their things and went back to the hotel.

In the evening she ordered a small banquet in the restaurant of the hotel.By the time she came over after taking a brief soak in the hot spring and changing into her yukata, the men with swords and swords were already eating in full swing.

The judge sat at the head of the long table and leaned back to adjust his sitting posture, but bumped into the strong back of others.

"Sorry... ah." The interrogator turned around and apologized to the other party, but what he saw was the man who saved her in the afternoon. "Thank you so much just now."

"What a coincidence, you also live in this hotel?" The man turned around and greeted her with a smile, "My name is Hibiki Youqi, just call me by name."

The examiner laughed and said, "Because Youqi's pronunciation is Alice?" ①

You Qixiang smiled awkwardly: "There's this reason, I always feel that it's not too serious to shout out."

The judge smiled without any concealment, his eyes were polite and focused when talking with others, like a sinking pool full of fragrant and mellow wine, straightforward and distant: "But I think that Mr. Alice is called The method is very Soviet and has a unique sentiment.”

You Qixiang narrowed his eyes and asked her: "No one has ever said that before... What's your name?"

"My name is--"

Kohomaru on the side noticed the direction of the conversation, straightened up and looked at the interrogator, just when he could hear the answer, Jiro Taidao on the side bumped him, causing him to be distracted and not to hear.

"It feels like a very meaningful name, aren't you Japanese?" Hibiki asked.

"Yes, I am Chinese." The judge nodded.

"Are you... are you on a company trip?" Hibiki asked hesitantly as he looked at the group of men with swords behind her.

The judge didn't know what to say for a while, so he smiled awkwardly: "It's sort of..."

The person who was at the same table with You Xixiang noticed that he was absent-minded, and called him loudly: "Hey Minister! Where are you looking?!"

Note ①: There is habitat sound (ありすひびき), Japanese pronunciation ArisuHibiki, the same as Alice (アリス) pronunciation Arisu.
