Chapter 112: Arm Wrestling with Suguha
If you want to go out to eat, you must first change your protective gear and hakama.
Shiori Mine and Naoto Esaki did not follow them to the lounge, but chose to wait outside. This made Haruno Sawayama realize something belatedly when he walked to the door of the lounge.
"Suguha, where is the restroom?"
He looked at Ezaki Suguha who was standing at the door and about to open it and asked, "Should I get my clothes and change over there?"
"The restroom should be disinfected at this time."
Jiang Qizhiye said calmly, "Because there are many people today."
".You didn't lie to me, did you?"
"I have no reason to lie to you."
After pushing the door open, Suguha Ezaki glanced back at Sawayama Haruno and added, "And I don't need to do that. You still have your clothes on properly, right? So what are you worried about?"
"Is there something wrong with your brain circuit?"
Sawayama Haruno looked at her blankly.
For a moment he felt that what the other party said was actually quite right.
After all, she was still wearing underwear, so it wouldn't be a big deal if she just changed her clothes, right? Otherwise, wouldn't everyone who went to the swimming pool be molested by others? No. Molesting others actively?
All in all, it's pretty much the same stuff. Since you still have something more "strictly guarded" with you, you don't have to worry about being seen, right?
Sawayama Haruno felt that this seemed to be correct.
But reason soon prevailed again.
".Forget it, you change first, and I'll go in and change after you're done." He coughed lightly and said, "Even if you're dressed properly, you still have to be on guard."
".All right."
After thinking about it, Ezaki Suguha agreed.
However, she did not close the door, but looked at Sawayama Haruno thoughtfully.
"what happened?"
Noticing the other party's unreserved gaze, Sawayama Haruno became a little puzzled.
Could this guy still be thinking about changing clothes with her now? She wasn't that kind of person, so if that was the case, then why was she hesitating?
“There is one thing I care about.”
Ezaki Suguha looked down at his palm and asked uncertainly, "How strong is Haruno?"
"strength?"
Seeing that this was what she was thinking, Zeshan Haruno quickly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I don't know the exact amount, but at least it should be pretty powerful if I use my full strength, right?"
He was not lying about this. He had not conducted any substantial tests on his physical condition since he received the reward from the system.
But since the ability of "Skill Improvement" is so strong, the "Physical Fitness Improvement", which is a passive skill and always exists, should be equally powerful.
It's just that he didn't put much effort into exploring it.
"Want to give it a try?"
Esaki Suguha looked at him and said suddenly.
"Try and see how strong you are."
"try?"
Zeshan Haruno pondered for a moment and said, "Is there a machine here to test strength? But that's fine, how do you test it?"
"No need for anything like that."
Ezaki Suguha took two steps back to make way for Sawayama Haruno to enter the lounge, and explained, "Just try it with arm wrestling."
".Me, a boy, arm wrestling with a girl?"
"Are you scared?"
"What a low-level provocation." Zeshan Haruno smiled helplessly and said, "I'm worried that I won't be able to control my strength and hurt you."
"I'm not that easily hurt."
Seeing this, Jiang Qizhiye also sighed and explained: "After all, I have been practicing kendo since I was a child. How could arm wrestling hurt me? I am not like other thin girls."
"That seems to be true."
Zeshan Haruno thought for a moment and said, "Let's give it a try, but we can't compete for too long, after all, there are two people waiting for us outside."
Suguha Esaki smiled faintly.
It is also very easy to have an arm wrestling competition, after all, there is a square tripod table of a suitable size in the lounge.
Suguha Ezaki asked Sawayama Haruno to sit down, and then he rubbed his wrist seriously for a long time, looking like he was serious.
Such a posture made Zeshan Haruno couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is this guy serious?
But I also want to know how much strength I have now.
In this case, let's take it seriously.
Judging from the competition in today's exchange match and the opponent's previous actions, Ezaki Suguha's physical fitness is probably not much weaker than that of an average man.
Besides, since he exercises regularly, he must be better than those guys around him who don’t like sports, right?
"Are you ready?"
As he was thinking, Ezaki Suguha was already sitting in front of him.
Sawayama Haruno responded casually and then put his hands on the table.
Looking at the other person's right hand, which was obviously white and broad, Ezaki Naoba couldn't help but pursed her lips, then gently held it.
"That"
Her beautiful eyes swept across Zeshan Haruno's face, then she quickly lowered her eyes and said softly, "Let's start."
The moment the words fell, a force burst out from the other party's outstretched right hand.
But unfortunately, it is a little too insignificant for Sawayama Haruno.
He blinked and didn't rush to knock the other person down. Instead, he planned to wait for a while and give the other person some face before speaking.
"Don't worry about me, just break it off."
Sensing what Sawayama Haruno was thinking, Ezaki Naoba immediately said, "If you dare to let me go, you'll treat me to dinner later."
"This is not okay."
Sawayama Haruno smiled helplessly, "I was planning to make a killing from Suguha, if that's the case."
As he spoke, he used a little more force.
There was a slight "bang" sound, and Ezaki Suguha's wrist was pressed down on the table without any suspense.
"Don't let go." She suddenly shouted in a low voice, "Just keep pushing hard."
Then she tried to bend her wrist back again.
Looking up from Sawayama Haruno's perspective, one can see her slightly stubborn look, as if she doesn't want to lose at all.
Most people wouldn't try so hard in arm wrestling that they almost bite their lips, right?
He thought to himself that the other party was really a typical sports anime protagonist. He was so unwilling to lose to others. But it was true. It seemed that the only thing that Ezaki Suguha was good at was this aspect. It was normal for him not to want to lose.
In this case, I have to respect my opponent and not deliberately let him/her win just because of gender. Otherwise, she who can "see through lies" will definitely see through it.
Thinking of this, Sawayama Haruno increased the strength in his hands and "suppressed" Ezaki Suguha tightly.
He didn't seem to realize how much strength he used when he shook the other person's hand.
As a result, Ezaki Suguha's face flushed and gradually something seemed wrong.
