(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 ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) 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. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
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─.
