LEVEL 3: Even the Best Laid Plans go Awry, but Such is This World
Chapter 7: Late Into Night
Time seemed to fly by after all was said and done
They visited the Crin themselves up for Operation Twin-Headed Snake and then continued to go through their daily routine, though with a good amount of restlessness Before they realized it, the day before the start of the offensive had come
All participants were instructed to gather early in the —more accurately, the sihold were to begin at dawn, so they were ordered to asseate The bell toll that kept track of the ti and it wasn’t like any of them oatches
Watches were indeed sold in the marketplace but only sos They were so outrageously expensive that Haruhiro’s eyes al Luckily for theh, there was a wall clock near the entrance of the reserve soldier lodge they could use to keep track of time
The goal was to wake up at two o’clock, or so as one person woke up, they could rouse the others, so Haruhiro figured that it would work out one way or another In order to prepare for the early start toht after the sun had set—rather, they all climbed into their bunks and made a valiant effort
“daive up!” Ranta declared loudly as he flailed about on his bunk in the pitch-black room
Ranta was always tossing and turning in his sleep, but this time Haruhiro joined him
“I can’t force myself to sleep this early,” Ranta continued
“Y-yeah,” Mogzo agreed “I like getting a lot of sleep, but this is too early, even for me”
“Let’s go then!” Ranta replied loudly “Let’s bum RUSH it!”
“bu so loud Just because you can’t sleep, doesn’tto”
“Er, Ranta, where are you planning to go?” Mogzo asked quizzically
“The girls’ rooleefully
“Huh?” Mogzo replied in disbelief
Haruhiro sighed “Don’t be dumb, Ranta What would we even do if ent?”
“We could do THAT,” Ranta said stubbornly
“‘That’?” Haruhiro asked
“Of course, that!” Ranta said
“What’s that?”
“Uhhh…” Ranta paused
“Uh?”
“Yeah”
“Yeah?” Haruhiro persisted
“Hm”
“‘Hm’ what?”
“What’s what?” Ranta said
“Don’t ask me,” Haruhiro said “You’re the one who started it Quit saying stuff when you’ve got no idea what you want to say”
“I’ really hard! Um… uhh… MOGZO, GO FOR IT!”
“M-zo stuttered “Erm… uhh…”
“Hang in there, Mogzo! You can do it!” Ranta encouraged “Just a little more!”
“Arzo finally ventured
“What!? Don’t be an idiot!” Ranta spat “No one goes to the girls’ rooonna go for THAT! For, uh… boobS!”
“Err…” Haruhiro said
“What, Haruhiro!?” Ranta exclaimed “What’s that ‘er’ for? You like boobs too, don’t you? You’re a man, aren’t you? ALL MEN LOVE boobS!”
“How do you knohat I like and don’t like?” Haruhiro challenged
“Ah-ha… so you’re saying you hate ‘eot boobs shoved in your face right now, you’d just turn away!? Even if they were massive triple-D sized!?”
“Hm… I don’t think I’d just turn away,” admitted Haruhiro
“What about you, Mogzo? You like boobs, right?” asked Ranta
“W-well… I-I guess…? Just as zo
“Forget it, Mogzo,” advised Haruhiro “We don’t have to join Ranta in his stupid conversations”
“Oy!” Ranta shouted “You guys admitted it so it’s decided! The o!”
“You still haven’t told us e’re going to do e get there,” Haruhiro pointed out
“We’re gonna fondle, o’course!” Ranta declared “FONDLE AND RUB AND FONDLE SOME MORE!”
“That’s rape, Ranta,” Haruhiro said coldly
“Nuh-uh! No one said we’re going that far!” Ranta protested “It’s like a e’ their boobs! It’s no problem! We’re totally safe!”
“You’d still lose your decent hu status”
“Okay, yeah,” Ranta admitted
“Exactly”
“But you know,” Ranta continued a much more serious tone “There’s no point if it’s unwanted anyways She’s gotta say, ‘Please Ranta, touch otta want do you to do it, you know?”
“Ranta…” Haruhiro began “What’s up with you all of a sudden?”
“Idiot! I’entleuys know right? Even Yu arirls after all!”
“Ah…” Mogzo nodded, as if he found hi with Ranta’s point
Haruhiro turned onto his side “And that’s what all girls want?”
“hell yeah!” said Ranta “Girls can’t resist a good romance, even if they tried Especially secret romances where forces of nature and overprotective dads and stuff try to break theet that But seriously, all girls have nothing but roirls Yu about it even now They’re talking about it shi+horu is saying ‘He’s‘I like hiht this moment I know it”
“I highly doubt it”
“Haruhiro, you seriously don’t understand girls at all Girls are strange creatures that don’t need to eat as long as they have love If they happen to trip and fall, it ain’t regular falling, it’s falling in love If they fall seven tiirls do So, Haruhiro What about you?”
“Huh? What about me?” Haruhiro asked
“Who’s the girl for you?”
“What?”
The question took Haruhiro by complete surprise Yume’s and shi+horu’s faces suddenly appeared in his h? He didn’t know They kept switching places with each other, fading away then appearing again
“Who, huh…”
“How about I take a wild guess for you?” Ranta offered “It’s Yume, isn’t it?”
“Huh? Why do you say that?”
“I’ht, aren’t I? If it was just about looks, then it would be Mary hands down, but she’s way outta your league shi+horu has high value boobs and I guess her face can be considered sorta cute but she’s got a pain in the ass personality and she’s iuy like you with zero self-esteem who’s also indecisive as shi+t, an airhead like Yume’s your only bet”
“And being cautious is a bad thing…” Haruhiro said
