Chapter 114: Baobhan Sith's Turn
[God said: "Let there be onee-san."]
[Jeanne Archer is your dearest onee-san, this is a truth as obvious as heaven and earth.]
[Looking at that pure, holy beautiful face, together with those graceful violet eyes, your heart cannot help but be deeply conquered.]
[You are both joyful and full of admiration, wishing to be a little closer to her, yet afraid of staining that noble and divine onee-san's body.]
[That is God, the pure white deity named Onee-san!]
A string of incomprehensible words continuously appeared before Eikou's eyes.
This narration voice, it felt as if it had completely turned into a die-hard fan of Jeanne swimsuit already.
While his consciousness had not yet completely fallen into the abyss, he did not hesitate to activate his skill.
[You have used "Lion of Cigarette C"]
[Check successful.]
[Nicotine allowed your brain to remain sober from that suspicious 'Onee-san moe moe Beam', restoring clarity of mind.]
[You realized that the beautiful blonde girl before you is not your onee-san, but merely a swimsuit servant who calls herself onee-san...]
"Lion of Cigarette C," that was a skill long ago, learned during the first part-time job together with Mordred, unexpectedly proving useful in this situation.
It could forcibly keep the brain clear-headed, resisting once against the effect of "Water of Life," and towards this strange 'Onee-san Beam' it also had the same effect.
"Eh, could it be that my Onee-san beam doesn't work on you?"
Jeanne blinked her drunken eyes in slight surprise, then narrowed them into an adorably smiling gaze:
"Then, let's try again——"
Pop!
Jeanne Alter flicked her forehead with a knuckle.
"That's enough, you should sober up already."
She couldn't help but speak out:
"When you wake up, don't let today's embarrassing things make you too ashamed to even go to school again!"
"Eh, that voice is..."
White Jeanne noticed the sound coming from inside the armor, swaying drunkenly as she turned her head toward it.
Jeanne Alter was startled, only now realizing she had slipped.
Just now she had been muttering complaints in her heart, yet unconsciously blurted it out!
"Sis—…"
Before she could finish, White Jeanne's eyes suddenly darkened, her whole body softening as she slid down from the judge's seat.
The two quickly caught her.
They carefully supported her onto the bench beside them, before their eyes was Jeanne's defenselessly sleeping face; from her pure white nose tip came a gentle breath, faintly carrying a sweet scent of alcohol.
It seemed this time she was finally drunk enough to completely lose consciousness.
"Phew..."
Eikou let out a breath of relief.
Luckily White Jeanne fainted straight away, otherwise he would have had no skills left to resist another round of 'Onee-san moe moe beam,' and it would have been difficult to withstand the temptation of a blonde holy maiden, with a cute face, while drunk.
He realized some of his skills had gradually recovered, so he placed his hand on Jeanne's forehead.
[You have used "Protection of the Lake"]
[All members of your party have received protection, with their abilities and states visibly improved. You have also simultaneously used this skill on Jeanne Archer, her drunken state has been eased, and when she wakes up later she will not suffer from a hangover.]
"Why would you even use a protection skill on that crazy woman?"
Jeanne Alter muttered.
"I already said, I'm a gentle gentleman." Eikou winked with a smile, "Besides, she's your older sister, I think I should care a little more."
"...Sorry, for letting you see such a disgraceful sight."
Jeanne Alter said shyly.
"It's fine," Eikou gently comforted, "I've long since gotten so used to the two of you being disgraceful that I want to vomit."
"Do you have a death wish?"
"Ha ha,"
Eikou glanced at the magecraft monitoring his heartbeat on his chest, this time it did not sound any alarm.
He signaled with his eyes to Jeanne Alter, she instantly understood and quietly dispelled the interference on the 'magic camera.'
"What, the broadcast has finally been restored..."
Through magecraft, Finn took a glance at the scene at the checkpoint, he quickly grasped the situation:
"Contestant Marie Antoinette has already declared defeat, and Jeanne d'Arc is drunk to the point of unconsciousness... Then according to the rules of the race, I — Fionn mac Cumhaill — hereby officially declare, Team Marie is eliminated from this year's race, stopping at the sixth checkpoint!"
After saying so, he cast a glance at Napoleon beside him, mocking:
"Well then, your France class vanguard team is almost completely eliminated."
"Ha ha," Napoleon calmly laughed once, "popping champagne to celebrate halfway is not a good thing. While you're playing punishment games at the checkpoint, Team Twelve Paladins has already advanced to the next checkpoint, they've taken a big lead over you."
"It's only a small advantage! Just wait and watch our Britain Class team's splendid overtaking performance!"
Finn spoke boldly, full of confidence.
Immediately after, he urged everyone in the checkpoint with a slightly impatient tone.
"You all… quick quick quick, hurry and finish this variety show program, since we're all on the same side there's no need to waste time. What if Twelve Paladins really take the championship, then what? Victory can only belong to our class!"
"So then, who is the next contestant, Team Baobhan Sith, right? Hurry onto the stage then!"
Team Marie had been eliminated entirely, in their team there was no one left who could trigger the alarm bell on Eikou's chest.
Here, there was truly only Team Baobhan Sith remaining.
"..."
"..."
Baobhan Sith and Eikou exchanged glances.
In his heart he thought, this was also one of the hardest teams to deal with, also the opponent with the deepest entanglement.
Though Finn-sensei said they were also a Britain Class team, all part of the same house, the two sides had never once considered each other as family.
After all, there can only be one champion, besides oneself all others are enemies.
Team Twelve Paladins of France Class, they are enemies.
Team Baobhan Sith of Britain Class, they are also enemies!
"If I can eliminate Team Baobhan Sith here, then even better, afterwards I only need to focus on the sole enemy, Team Twelve Paladins…"
He glanced thoughtfully at the remaining members of Team Baobhan Sith.
"Gareth, in battle or horse riding she can be very effective, but she's completely no good at dating show challenges, she doesn't know how to charm men, so she's no threat at all."
"But, Baobhan Sith is another story…"
Eikou had never seen Baobhan Sith seduce anyone, but her inherent feminine allure was already very dangerous.
As he stared intently at Baobhan Sith, the other only sneered faintly.
She gracefully leapt down from her seat and walked straight to where Eikou was acting as judge.
"Next is the turn of the Blood Princess of Britain Class, Baobhan Sith!
"In the end, will it be Baobhan Sith, or Mochizuki Eikou who prevails? Let us open our eyes wide and wait to see!"
