Chapter 287 - Chapter 287: First Elimination, Mortar Establishes Dominance!

Current Public Intelligence:

Yukino Squad: Armed with advanced weaponry. Shunning the flashy water guns preferred by children, they wield plain-looking but high-end electric water guns. This is the power of economics and technology that children cannot touch!

Rumi Squad: Equipped with ordinary, cheap water guns. However, they are light and compact, perfect for guerrilla warfare. Combined with the agility of four children, their threat level is definitely not low.

Uchiha Ryo: Ignore him for now, quietly replenishing ammunition ~ water balloons +1 +1 +n...

Outside a relatively open garden, Goto Hitori stood alone, looking around. So scary... being bait or something... will Rumi and the others focus fire and take me out directly later?

Although she knew her three teammates were ambushing nearby, Bocchi-chan was still very nervous, even if the opponents were just four elementary school students.

If gentle Nijika were here, she would definitely encourage me... and Kita-chan... and Ryo who still hasn't paid me back.

Yamada Ryo, working part-time at Starry Live House, sneezed.

"Are you sick? Do you want me to cover your shift?" Ijichi Nijika asked worriedly.

"Nothing, but why didn't Bocchi come today?"

Nijika smiled. "We've been practicing for so long, it's time to let Bocchi relax. After all, she has the best skills among us, the only thing to focus on is her mentality."

Yamada Ryo nodded and said calmly. "Oh... but regarding Bocchi's relaxation, I guess she's just lazing at home for a day."

"Hehe, Ryo, you guessed wrong. Bocchi was invited by Hayasaka-san from Shuchiin to play with water. She should be very happy right now~"

...

Very scared, really! As bait, Bocchi knew her only purpose was to expose the opponent's position as much as possible, which would help her side's damage output.

"Rumi-chan, target spotted!"

Behind the flower bushes, Himesaka Noa, acting as the observer, squatted down and indicated she saw Big Sister Bocchi alone there.

Tsurumi Rumi frowned. "Only one person?"

Hoshino Hinata raised her water gun. "What's there to be afraid of? They probably split up. Let's just take her out directly!"

"No, who knows if Big Sister Bocchi will call other partners. We can't expose all of us. Hana! Relying on you."

Shirosaki Hana nodded. "I'll try."

Saying that, Shirosaki Hana actually walked out of the flower bushes without hiding, approaching Goto Hitori head-on.

Goto Hitori's steps paused, hurriedly stabilizing her somewhat trembling arms to raise the water gun. "Hana, don't... don't come over."

Even knowing she was a soft persimmon, she had to complete her mission! So Bocchi didn't retreat, just stood there with the water gun raised, her eyes looking around searching for others.

"Big Sister Bocchi, wait a minute, my water gun is broken, can you help me check it?"

Hana put on a pitiful look, instantly making the tension in Bocchi's heart disappear, and she breathed a sigh of relief putting down the water gun.

That's right, this is just a game, why am I so nervous?

"Where is it broken? I'll go find Chitanda-san to help you change one."

Hana nodded. "Thank you, Big Sister. The water just won't come out, it seems to be blocked."

The distance between the two was less than a meter. Hana raised the small water gun, and Goto Hitori also leaned in to look at the muzzle direction.

"Blocked? No foreign object either... Ahhhh!!"

Super close-range facial shot! Shirosaki Hana pulled the trigger of the water gun that wasn't broken at all. Bocchi lost her vision instantly, then felt a stream of water flowing down from her face.

Leaving one opponent with low HP right at the start?!

Yukinoshita and the others observing in secret were extremely surprised. Actually using her identity as a child to make Bocchi easily lose judgment and get lost in [Cuteness].

What a terrifying move. It must be Tsurumi Rumi's command... It seems I can no longer look at you with the eyes for a child.

"Retreat quickly!"

Rumi's voice sounded, and just as Shirosaki Hana turned her head, Chitanda Eru had already flashed out from behind a tree not far away.

Continuous long-range shooting! It's a large electric water gun!

Shirosaki Hana's back was completely soaked, HP also sharply reduced by half.

"Hmph hmph, Rumi's voice just came from here~" Chitanda had no intention of chasing Hana at all but rushed towards that garden.

Capture the thief, capture the king first! As long as the elementary school group eliminates Rumi, they won't be any threat!

"Eru, wait!" Yukinoshita stood up, but Chitanda Eru had already rushed into the flower bushes.

Hayasaka Ai appeared from the side. "Go to rescue?"

Yukino nodded. "I'll stay to protect Goto. Hayasaka, you follow Eru, don't seek to kill enemies!"

Pursuing victory on the battlefield is good, but blind charging will only fall into others' traps.

Hana's deceptive attack was just the surface. Wasn't she also bait released by Tsurumi Rumi? But this bait... wasn't used to attract people!

If Chitanda had chosen to chase Hana just now, Rumi and the others would probably be very uncomfortable, because she hadn't made any preparations in the direction she told Hana to run beforehand, meaning she directly sacrificed Shirosaki Hana.

But the clever Chitanda thought that Hinata and Noa must be ambushing in the direction Hana escaped, so she rushed directly to Tsurumi Rumi's hiding place.

But they... were waiting for Chitanda Eru's charge!

"Now! Splash!"

Water guns in a water fight are just containers! At close range, water bottles are the most lethal! Hoshino Hinata and Himesaka Noa threw the water in their bottles forcefully the moment Chitanda appeared.

"Oops..." Chitanda was instantly soaked completely from the front. At the same time, Tsurumi Rumi standing in the middle directly pulled up the picnic blanket on the ground, blocking all of Chitanda's counterattacks.

"Go, find Hana."

Lingering in battle is impossible. Hinata and Noa also helped drag the blanket, running into the distance like wearing a huge cape.

And Hayasaka Ai, who just arrived, sighed helplessly. All three opponents were covered by the blanket, water guns couldn't break through at all...

"Are you okay?"

"Uwu, so close. Except for the back, everywhere else is wet."

First clash between the two teams — Bocchi's HP halved, Chitanda critical HP, Shirosaki Hana HP halved.

But just then, a water balloon landed precisely behind Chitanda. As the water balloon exploded, Hayasaka Ai raised her arm to block part of the damage, but Eru, who was already at critical HP... couldn't be spared.

"Where is he?!"

Hayasaka Ai looked in the direction the water balloon came from but didn't see anyone.

First contact of the three parties! Chitanda Eru of Yukino Squad is the first to be eliminated! Killer — [Mortar] Uchiha Ryo who quietly climbed onto the second-floor roof!
