On the other hand, Fina and Ruimin were swimming leisurely with Swaying Bear.
“I can’t lose to Hugging Bear now, can I?” (Shinobu)
Shinobu said that, started running toward the pier, and continued running on the lake.
I could not believe what I’m seeing.
Shinobu was running on water.
“How about this? I can do this much, too. I won’t lose to Hugging Bear.” (Shinobu)
Shinobu ran alongside Hugging Bear on the lake.
“Shinobu-neechan, you’re amazing.” (Shuri)
“Shinobu, you could do that too?” (Sakura)
“Secret art!” (Shinobu)
Isn’t that ninjutsu?
“The trick is to move both of your feet quickly. Lift your feet before they sink.” (Shinobu)
Moving your legs quickly, I think I’ve seen stories like that in manga and anime. But there’s no way you could do it in reality.
Normally, you just take one step into the water and you’ll sink like a brick.
But Shinobu was actually running on the lake’s surface.
Was it magical power or magic or something?
“So, when you stop…” (Shinobu)
The moment Shinobu stopped, she fell into the water with a loud splashing sound.
Was it really not magic?
I thought perhaps she was storing magic power in her legs to get some kind of buoyancy or something.
If running on water was something that was generally not possible, then what Shinobu did was amazing.
If it’s about the width of a river, she can cross it.
I honestly think that, unlike my cheat’s power, the power that Shinobu has obtained on her own was incredible.
And after playing for a while, it’s time for a nap in the shade under the trees, leaning against Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear. Everyone was sleeping comfortably.
Shinobu and I covered Fina and the others with towels so they wouldn’t catch a cold.
“Aren’t you tired, Shinobu?” (Yuna)
“I’m completely fine with just this. Compared to work, it’s easier.” (Shinobu)
As expected of a ninja.
“By the way, even though you’re in the lake, are your injuries okay?” (Yuna)
“The big wounds are fine because someone did something about them. The other minor wounds have healed because I put medicine on them.” (Shinobu)
That’s good to know. From the looks of it, I don’t see any injuries that would leave scars. The only thing I healed was her shoulder and face, but she looked fine. I was surprised to see her bloodstained clothes.
“Thank you very much, Yuna.” (Shinobu)
“Out of the blue. For what?” (Yuna)
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Sakura-sama looking so happy. Fina and Shuri are both good kids.” (Shinobu)
Shinobu was smilingly looking at Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, and Sakura who’s leaning against Hugging Bear.
“Sakura is with Fina and Shuri who are good, hard-working kids.” (Yuna)
I looked at Fina, who was sleeping, leaning against Swaying Bear.
With Fina by my side, she’s having a lot of fun. I am glad that she genuinely adores me. Whenever I saw her working hard, I wanted to help her.
Of course, Ruimin was also a good kid.
After dinner, Shuri and Ruimin were rolling around on the tatami mats.
Well, I understand the feeling of wanting to sprawl around with tatami mats.
“Can we really stay here?” (Fina)
Fina, who’s sitting on the cushion, asked.
“It’s okay. There’s no one here but us, so don’t worry about it.” (Yuna)
I’ve already told Tirumina that the girls might stay the night here, so it’s okay. Besides, the main hot spring was just around the corner.
After lunch, we took a break, and Shuri, who would usually be sleepy, was in good spirits after her nap.
“Well then, let’s go to the hot springs.” (Yuna)
“Yuna-onechan, what is a hot spring?” (Shuri)
Shuri asked while lying on the tatami mat.
“Simply put, a bath using hot water coming out from underground?” (Yuna)
