Jikuu Mahou chapter 338: Preparing for the tournament

We bid farewell to Nima-chan and came back to Japan.

Jennifer is going to the affiliated town factory by asking for the processing of [Nullpo Stones] that she got, and Lily continues escorting Jennifer for a while.

Because I was late, I only contacted the company after I returned and had just come home.

「Nii-chan, welcome back. Are you tired, shall I rub your shoulders?」

Aya greeted me smilingly……. Something’s fishy.

「Seiji-sama, welcome back」

「Seiji-oniichan, welcome back」

Elena and Hilda welcomed me too, while Hilda takes my right hand and Elena my left hand.

Ah~, Paradise~~.

「Aya, what do you want?」

「What is it~?」

Aya desperately wants something, I know it.

Aya doesn’t just do something like massaging her tired brother’s shoulders which had just come back home. There must be some motive.

「So you don’t need anything?」

「Emm~, actually~」

After all, there is something, good grief.

「This Sunday we have the “University Karate Championship Tournament”……」

「You can’t!!」

「Why! You said I could go」

Did I say that?

「Anyways no」

「I have already applied for participation, so I can’t cancel it now」

Seriously! I only have bad feelings about it.

「I mean, not the tournament! If you win the tournament, you will be eligible for the international tournament held in Rio.」

「Ri… Rio… is it! Perhaps, the Olympics?」

「No, the Olympics are next year」

「That? Is that so?」

「That’s why I want you to take me to Rio with 【Teleportation】~」(Aya)

「You idiot. Are you planning to enter a karate tournament by smuggling into the country? You have to take a passport and properly go by airplane」

「I, I didn’t think about that」

She really is stupid…….

「Are you okay with an injury or not?」

「Nii-chan is also anxious~ I don’t plan to get injured in the tournament」

「No, I’m worried about the possibility of them being hurt」

「I’m fine, I’m practicing to go easy on my opponents properly」

What is with『I´m fine』? I am anxious.

「By the way, why don’t you go with Mai-san?」

「I will」

「Well then, won’t only one of the two of you win the tournament?」

「Manager and I are in a different weight class」

Indeed, is it not an indiscriminate class tournament?

「Lets return to the story, I will fly properly in an airplane, so please give me money for a plane ticket to Rio」

Hmmm, what shall I do?

「Well, if you can clear the conditions, I give you the money」

「Conditions?」

「The condition is…… that you don’t hurt your opponent!」

「Ah, that’s easy」

Is it really okay?

———-

The next morning, when I got into the office, the director was waiting.

「Good morning, Maruyama-kun」

「Good morning」

「You seem to have been in trouble in Bhutan」

「Yes, but I’m alright」

「Well, I’m glad you returned safely」

You were so worried about me, Director…….

「In fact, I was troubled by a pile of work. So, please do it quickly」

「Eh?」

When I log into the project management system…… a lot of work tasks were registered, and I was making all the reps.

「Then, thanks」

The director said so and left quickly.

Director, I’m going to get you a high eel next time!!

I used [Quick] on myself and did the work with tremendous momentum.

———-

I cleaned up the work of one month in a day and came back home quite late.

At such a time Elena and Hilda would already be asleep.

「Ah, Nii-chan, look look~」

When I entered the living room, Aya came over with a high degree of exposure and was spinning around.

「What are you doing?」

「I bought some clothes to wear in Rio, so I decided to do a fashion show」

「I wonder if you win the tournament the day after tomorrow?」

「I’m not going to lose to anyone other than the manager」

Well, that’s it.

However, aren’t Aya’s clothes, too revealing? Because it is Rio, is this normal? Besides, it seems to be quite cool.

That? Ah!

「Aya-san……」

「What? Nii-chan」

「If you wear that, isn’t it cold?」

「You’re stupid, Nii-chan. It’s Midsummer now, right? It’s not cold!」

「Aya, Rio is in the southern hemisphere, you know」

「So what?」

「If it is August in the southern hemisphere, what is the season there?」

「Eh?」

……For a while, silence wrapped the room.

「Perhaps…… winter?」

「Yes」

「I spent 3.000 yen……」

Aya falls on her knees discouragedly. But did these clothes really cost so much?

「Well, but that’s…… it might be quite warm because it is near the equator」

「I, Is that so?」

Aya who raised her face had slightly watery eyes.

「Wait a moment, I will look it up on the net」

「Uh」

I quickly investigated the August climate in Rio.
