Type-Moon, I loaded the love game

"I see. You've experienced a lot of failures. This can be considered a form of training, right?"

"You lost Jeanne d'Arc in the French class, and then you lost the Holy Grail War of Love, and Yuji wasn't able to save you."

"The more you lose, the less you fear."

"...I understand. I, Scathach, will teach you well. As long as you are prepared to die, I will surely train you to be an outstanding warrior."

……

【Murasaki Shikibu successfully joins the team.】

You whispered something to Murasaki Shikibu, hinting at what she was supposed to do before and after the table tennis match...

【You have returned to the battlefield called friendship.】

【Friendly table tennis, let’s fight again! 】

Life Will Change!

After a short minute.

Yinggu returned to the battlefield of the friendship, followed by Murasaki Shikibu, who had already defected to his side.

The two of them came quickly to the table with table tennis rackets in hand.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long,"

Ying Gu said with a sharp look,

"Let's end the game in one round, Murasaki Shikibu!"

"..."

Looking at the two people standing together, Maeve said angrily,

"Murasaki Shikibu, please don't regret this! When I take Yinggu away, there won't be a share for you!"

Before Murasaki Shikibu herself could respond, Yinggu, who was holding the racket, shook his head first.

"I was so naive. I didn't think we could lose this time," he said.

"What? You don't think a weak girl like this can play table tennis with Scathach here, do you?"

Maeve said with disdain,

"She doesn't look athletic, nor does she seem able to drink. Recruiting a teammate like her won't help—Oops, I accidentally said too much. You guys delayed us again. Let's start the game right away!"

As they spoke, both teams immediately took their positions and prepared to start the game.

Yinggu swallowed nervously.

This was a battle where success was the only option, and failure was not. It concerned the fate of him and Roland tonight.

"Three, two, one..."

Yinggu threw the ping-pong ball high up.

"war!"

He suddenly exerted force with his wrist and hit the ping-pong ball hard towards the opponent's table.

The ping-pong ball drew a perfect and swift arc in the air.

Scathach was about to raise her racket to defend herself,

At this moment, I suddenly felt that something was wrong with the feel of the racket.

Her red eyes glanced around quickly, and she was shocked to find that

The racket in his hand was replaced with a plastic bottle!

"when……"

In her haste, she had no time to change the racket, so she had to swing the plastic bottle to hit the ping-pong ball back.

Looking at the ball coming towards him, Yinggu's eyes suddenly became stern.

He might be able to defend this ball!

Scathach is no longer the same Scathach. Her attributes have declined after drinking, and her racket has been replaced, so the ball she hits no longer has the same ferocity as before.

"You are so naive, Teacher Scathach!"

Yinggu raised his racket and hit the ping-pong ball back while shouting.

"Do you think I'll just follow the rules so you can defeat me fairly? Absolutely not!"

As early as when they were chatting just now, he had already asked Murasaki Shikibu to use her skills to secretly make some changes.

He used "Spell B" to switch gears, and then used "Poem of the Song Fairy A" to confuse the opponent.

In addition, Scathach's abilities were reduced due to drunkenness, so she didn't notice these small movements at all.

This cannot be considered cheating or breaking the rules, as it is just a form of [allowing the use of skills].

On top of this, Murasaki Shikibu also has an auxiliary skill.

Murasaki Shikibu Diary B++

It negates weaknesses, increases defense, and grants a special attack status against "good," a skill that effectively counters Scathach.

And all of this is to ensure victory!

"boom!"

Yinggu hit the opponent's ball back again.

Although it was still a difficult shot, the ball sent by Scathach was no longer invincible!

[You and Scathach started a fierce battle, fighting back and forth.]

Murasaki Shikibu and Maeve weren't physically adept Heroic Spirits, so there was no room for them to intervene. After unleashing all their abilities, they obediently watched the battle from the sidelines.

[This has actually become a one-on-one duel between you and Teacher Scathach.]

You've done everything you can to close the gap between you two, but you're still far from having an advantage. You're still treading on thin ice, and the slightest misstep could lead to failure.

[If you want to defeat Scathach, your physical fitness must be excellent. Please pass the triple test of endurance, agility, and strength!]

Three dice fall.

[Strength test, success!]

【Durability test, failed! 】

[Agility check, failed!]

Ying Gu's heart skipped a beat when he saw this awkward dice roll.

If two out of three checks fail, it means that this round is likely to be lost.

He had a bad feeling in his heart, and quickly cast "From the End C" on himself to get a chance to continue the battle.

[Even though you tried your best to defeat Scathach, the old ones are still the wisest...]

Despite facing numerous disadvantages, she unleashes astonishing explosive power in her next shot. Before you can react, she swings the bottle like a baseball, sending the ping-pong ball flying past your exhausted defenses.

You lose this round.

You and Murasaki Shikibu must drink a round of water of life.

Two dice fell.

[Endurance check, failed.]

【Murasaki Shikibu's endurance test failed.】

You drank a whole bottle of Water of Life.

[Because you activated "From the End C", you, despite your battle continuity, forcibly remained conscious...]

Murasaki Shikibu didn't seem to be very good at drinking. After only one glass of water of life, she became drunk and passed out. She fell asleep on the sofa.

"After all, her stamina is only E, so she's definitely going to be down after just one drink..."

Seeing Murasaki Shikibu who had fallen asleep drunkenly beside him, Yinggu smiled bitterly.

At least, Murasaki Shikibu had done everything she should have done.

Just go with peace of mind, I will not let your sacrifice go to waste!

Without time to mourn for his teammates, Yinggu threw the ping-pong ball high up again, swung the racket and started serving.

[You want to defeat Scathach's defense head-on.]

【Please go through the triple check again.】

[Since Scathach has retrieved the racket, the difficulty of the test will increase.]

Three dice fall simultaneously.

[Strength test, success!]

[Endurance test, success!]

Then comes the final test...

The dice spun before Yinggu's eyes, then slowly stopped and finally revealed its number...

Yinggu was so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe.

This one chance for success, Roland's luck in love, her own chastity, and the only hope of a comeback all depend on this dice!

Let this dice put an end to this battle.

Written on the dice was:

E.

That’s a great success!

[Agility check, great success!]

Chapter 52: Great Success?

"Thank you for your hard work. You did a great job."

"To use the language of the Land of Shadows, yes... I think you've just stepped on the initial entrance, or are about to. Well done."

"...What? You thought you were better? Hahahahaha. Idiot, you're a hundred years too early!"

……

A dice fell down, and E was written on the face of the dice.

That turned out to be a great success!

[Agility check, great success!]

At the moment when the agility judgment was successfully completed, Yinggu felt that his body had become more agile than ever before.

The ping-pong ball hit from Scathach also slowed down in his eyes.

Victory is within reach.

Yinggu immediately exerted force on his wrist and suddenly slapped the ping-pong ball that was coming towards him.

boom!

This is the goal that cost me the championship!

The ball was hit by his full force and flew out, hitting the table at lightning speed, and then bounced high unexpectedly, reaching a height that Scathach could not reach in an instant.

Scathach raised the ball high and swung the racket to hit the ball back.

Yinggu's heart suddenly got stuck in his throat.

But this time, even Scathach couldn't keep up with the trajectory of the ball. She jumped high, but her racket still couldn't reach his full-strength attack, and she missed the ping-pong ball.

Deng, Deng, Deng...

Finally, the ping pong ball fell to the floor!

The people present stared blankly at the ping-pong ball that rolled out of the courtyard, and suddenly they felt as if they were in another world.
