(EP-165.2) Night #6

165 – Day and Night #6

Elga asked.

“But what’s written on the wooden blocks?”

On the wooden block Elga had picked up, it read「Bark after spinning three times.」It was a penalty that the loser would have to do, which I had diligently written on the blocks.

“If the tower collapses while you pull a block, you have to do the penalty written on it.”

“What!? Then I’ll have to see what kind of punishments there are.”

However, just as Elga was about to pick up another block, Aira made a swift motion with her hand.

All the wooden blocks were arranged into a neat cuboidal building. She must have completed the Jenga tower using her telekinetic powers.

“Hey, I was trying to read the words!”

“It’s no fun if you know the penalties. The excitement of the game lies in not knowing what’s ahead~.”

“Hmph-.”

With Elga begrudgingly agreeing to Aira’s words, I started to briefly explain the rules.

“Using telekinesis or magic is not allowed; you can only use your hands. Also, please take note that the person who makes the tower collapse has to rebuild it as part of the penalty.”

And so, perhaps the world’s first-ever Jenga in this world began. Elga, Mirna and Aira all quietened down.

Seueueuk.

“…….”

Even Elga, ever so disgruntled, was focused as she pulled out blocks.

When everyone played games together, they all seemed to concentrate and immerse themselves, which allowed me to catch my breath a bit.

I wondered if this was how mothers felt when they handed a smartphone to their children?

Then I realized, incorporating this playful aspect into taming these nobles could be an excellent method!

「Teach them right!

Gained job experience for ‘Tutor’. + 50」

「Beast’s Friend!

Job : Tutor 1+ Level

Tutor Lv. 8 → Lv. 9

Your hand is a whip. Praise is like a carrot reward.」

It’d been a while since my Tutor experience points increased. That was good.

As I leveled up, I would be able to contemplate the situations with a little more leeway.

Seuk.

Aira carefully removed one block from the top with her slender fingers. Her smooth and confident extraction made it hard to believe that it was her first time playing the game.

However, the real challenge in this game laid in the lower sections, where you had to skillfully remove bottom blocks without causing the tower to collapse. She probably recognized this, as Elga began to focus more on the lower part of the tower.

Wurrrr.

Finally, the tower collapsed. The one who knocked it over was Mirna. She looked stunned that she had knocked down the tower.

Meanwhile, Elga was more adamant than Mirna.

“Well ain’t that a bummer, Mirna~. So, what’s the penalty?”

And so, our attention shifted to the block Mirna was holding, and the words written on it were 「Get flicked on the forehead.」

“Perfect! I’ve been wanting to hit an annoying brat! This works out well~.”

And so Elga gave Mirna’s forehead a real good flick.

Ttak─.

“Aak-!”

A clear and melodious sound echoed throughout the area, almost making one wonder if such a sound could come from a person’s forehead.

Mirna got a bit teary as she rubbed her swollen forehead. Elga probably hit her too hard. Just as I thought I was about to hear an outburst, Mirna subverted my expectations.

“Then, let’s play the next game. I won’t lose next time!”

Surprisingly, Mirna accepted her defeat and the consequences, and began to rebuild the tower. Elga, who just gave Mirna a flick, wore a puzzled expression with raised brows.

“What, what’s with the dull reaction? It’s unsettling!”

“Game penalties are also rules. Why would I, Mirna Draco, be upset about that? You’re soft, Lady Lioness.”

“What did you say!?”

The game continued like that.

Time passed and the tea party came to an end at sunset to evening. It was time for everyone to return to their own rooms.

Mirna, looking at the evening twilight, said with a tinge of regret.

“How about having dinner together?”

Despite having spent the whole day playing with great enthusiasm, she still seemed full of energy.

“… I’m done. I already had enough.”

Elga was the first to leave.

Aira was also yawning next to her. She said while wiping the drowsy tears from her eyes.

“I’m feeling sleepy. I talked more than usual today. Let’s do this again next time~.”

With that, we tidied up the place. Everyone went into their respective rooms without having dinner, probably because they ate snacks with the tea.

Standing in front of her room, Aira grabbed my arm and quietly whispered.

“Keep an eye on Lady Draco today.”

“I should watch her over?”

“Yes. People who behave out of the usual often die suddenly.”

I had heard several times that if you did something out of character, your time of death might be near.

Aira, who hadn’t said much all day, also seemed to be aware about Mirna’s abnormal behavior.

“In that case, I’ll keep a close watch on the Lady.”

With Aira’s command and my own concerns, I decided to spend the rest of the day in Mirna’s dormitory.

“Sir Theo. I’ll lay out a futon on the floor for you, so you can sleep there.”

“Okay.”

“Then, I’ll quickly wash up, please wait a moment.”

Mirna entered the bathroom, but not long after, she poked her head out, asking.

“It seems that I have no toiletries, do you have any?”

“Ah-.”

Right, it seemed like I also threw them out together with the broken glasses when I was cleaning earlier. I quickly purchased various essentials such as toothpaste and a toothbrush from a nearby shop, and handed them to Mirna.

Then Mirna said after coming out.

“Sir Theo may now use it.”

“Thank you.”

I accepted Mirna’s tempting offer. Being able to wash my body after running around all day doing errands under the scorching sun would be nice.

Then I noticed something odd with the tube of toothpaste I had just bought.

Seuk.

I saw that it was neatly squeezed from the end.
