427-Gravity




 

So, we're next.

Yes.

 After Thor's pathetic match, the next step was a sister-brother showdown between Sheila and Asmo.

'Hmmm, as expected of Asmo, no handicap, right~? I might rather have mine, given the size difference.

 Sheila looks at Asmo's whole body and then shoots a jab while speaking in a laid-back tone.

 The game has already begun with this off-the-board battle. Stripping away the advantage here would lead to an arm-wrestling victory.

 It is true that Asmo boasts a physique and strength that is hard to imagine for an eight-year-old. Even though he's older, there's a good chance that the slender Sheila and Asmo could compete with each other.

''No, since there's an age difference, I need a handicap on my side.

'What? Thor challenged him without a handicap, and Asmo gets a handicap?

"...tch, Thor's going to say something else.

 Since Thor challenged him without a handicap, it would be disappointing if Asmo, who was also a sister and brother, got a handicap.

 Therefore, Asmo is not able to ask for the handicap.

 Also, I personally don't want to be less than Thor.

 Sheila, despite her easy-going appearance, is a tremendous schemer. She can completely read Asmo's thoughts.

''--Ha! So, that means I'm not handicapped either!

I see.

 Sister Elinora laughs heartily when she realizes the astonishing truth.

 d*mn, I shouldn't have fired up Thor's game to make it go faster. I had to choke myself as a result.

 Yeah, I wanted to slap myself in the face for that one. It's insane to be in a head-to-head power struggle with sister Elinora.

''Then please fold your hands.''

 Carla's voice was the cue for Asmo and Sheila to put their elbows on the table.

'Good.'

What--?

 At that moment, there was a stir in the dining room.

 It was because there were soft fruits on the table, except for the elbows, in different shapes.

 What is this? Is this kind of scene appropriate?

''Oooh........!

 Thor and Eric blatantly snort at the sight.

'Thor, stop being a creep,'

...and Eric is staring too hard.

'No, I'm just watching you arm wrestle!'

 The two of them hurriedly make the exact same excuse as they are warned by their sister right beside them.



 Luna-san pointed out to me that Thor and Eric managed to avert their gaze as if they were getting buzzed.

 However, it's not long before my gaze is on Sheila's chest, and even I, who's watching from the side, can see that my gaze is on her.

 I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to look at it, but my sister next to me creates a sense of intimidation, so I tried my best not to look at it.

 I wouldn't want my sister Emma to look at me the way Thor and Eric did.

 It would be unbearable for me to have my reputation lowered because of my temporary curiosity.

It's a good idea to have a good time. Lady........Go!

 The moment Carla let go of her arm, Asmo and Sheila exerted themselves.

 The first reaction was Sheila's on top and Asmo was instantly driven back.

 However, Asmo countered with a prominence of his prized thick arms. They were antagonizing in an inferior situation and gradually pushing Sheila back.

''Humph!''

"Woo-woo!

 Asmo's sharp exhalation and Sheila's disempowering call echoed through the air.

 The reason why the villagers in the audience were disgustingly quiet would no longer need to be told. Instead, there was a cluck of tongues from some of the women in the village. 'Scary.

'C'mon, Asmo! Get the hell out of there!

Keep your weight on!

 Thor and Eric cheer for him.

 As expected of Asmo. Even though he is eight years old, he makes full use of his obese body to push Sheila, who is older than him.

 His body is very reliable for this day.

 I'm sure Asmo will be able to beat Sheila. Such a glimmer of hope lights up in my chest.

 As expected of Elinora sister, I thought she would be impatient with this situation, but for some reason the person in question took out a paper packet from her pocket.

''Oh, come to think of it, Bartolo gave me some cookies for a snack.

'Wow, it smells so good! So it's pumpkin cookies today!

I know it's not much to take, but maybe we should just eat on our own.

Eat!

 As Sister Elinora and Sister Emma were having such a conversation, there was a Zudaan sound and Sheila was reacting violently.

 If you look at the table, Asmo's arm, which should have been pushed, had fallen on its own side.

'Sho, winner, Sheila,'

Lady Elinora, I want some of that too.

Oh, I see the game is over. Then you can have it.

 It seems that even the joy of victory doesn't matter, Sheila instantly came over here and received pumpkin cookies from sister Elinora.

''Mmm~ As I thought, the sweets made by Bartolo-san are delicious~''

 Sheila swooning over a pumpkin cookie.

 That's right. The Asmo family was a family that showed tremendous power when it came to food.

 When Sister Elinora realized that Sheila was at a disadvantage, she immediately brought out some sweets to awaken her power.

 What a cunning move!

''Wow, I couldn't see your arm move.''

It's one hell of a food obsession to create that much power from cookies alone.



 You're not going to be able to do that.



"Winner, Luna.

 I thought that Asmo and Sheila's match was over, but the next match, Eric and Luna-san's match, was over in quick succession.

'Hey, Eric-sama. Try a little harder!''

I can't. You can't possibly match your sister's strength.

 It was so blinkered that I couldn't say that back to Thor when he told me that.

 He got a grip on my wrist as a handicap, and then he knocked me down with a lackluster move.

 Eric should be heartbroken, too.

''Well Eric is too impotent. He needs to work out a bit more.

Your sister is crazy. I'm not weak.

 Luna-san's unrelenting words are teasing Eric too.

 Yeah, I agree with you that Luna-san thinks it's strange.

 Even Eric is a martial aristocrat and has been training since he was a child. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more. All together, you're losing to your sister, and you're sloppy in your male habits.

If I lost to a woman in arm-wrestling, I'd go home and cry.

 The villagers in the audience laugh because Thor, Asmo and Eric are all losing to their sister.

'd*mn it, they usually have a habit of letting women hold their purse strings and get their asses handed to them.

You're on your own.

I'd love for them to arm-wrestle your sister.

 It is indeed annoying to be laughed at like this. All three of them seem to be pissed off.

 Thor's body trembles and he puts his hands on both my shoulders in anger.

'When it comes to this, Al! You're the only one who can help! You can use any trick you want! Defeat Lady Elinora!

 No, that's the hardest thing to do. The person with the most inhuman physical abilities among them is Sister Elinora. There's no way she'd be able to challenge him properly and be an enemy.

'Al can do it!

...Asmo.

I mean, haven't you always gotten through these kinds of hardships?

Eric.

 But these three people believe in me like this.

 Yes, with such clear eyes........

""Once again, you're gonna get crafty, aren't you?"

You guys gonna dump 'em all?

 Just when you thought you could get a little better dialogue, here it is.
