2 weeks has passed, and Elma who was brutally tortu*cough* trained have change into a different personality. She has become more polite, attentive and skilled in the ways of a maid, Ye Han was satisfied with her performance and decided to give her some pocket money and ask the girls to buy clothes for her since she would be living with them for a few years. A week ago, Headmaster Azami finally found a loop hole in the contract, Azami could give Ye Han a free day or a vacation which is what he did and Ye Han would still get paid, Ye Han could disagree but he thought of spending some bonding moments with his daughters.
So he agreed since he will still be getting paid and his students probably honed their skills, plus he will get to spend his Wednesdays for 3 week with his family. Ye Han thought that this should be their time of the promotion exam for the 1st year which would take place in Hokkaido. He shrugs of his thoughts as the girls and Ye Han arrived at a nearby park where there is a playground for sakura to enjoy. They didn't bring the pets since it might lead to random people reporting them for raising an exotic and national treasure level pets. Lili, Haruhime and Ais played the game monkey in the middle.
(Author: Panda thought that Panda should show more of the girls since they used to be the MC in danmachi now they became like a side characters who are learning new experiences and skills. Panda only remember this type of rules in the game of monkey in the middle, not sure if its the correct one since Panda only watched panda's fellow students play the game and the ball they used was a small purple rubber ball which could bounce when it is smashed into the ground. )
Monkey in the middle is a game where there are two players at the opposite side and one in the middle, the two players at the opposite side of the end needs to catch the ball thrown by them without letting the middle player grab it. whoever thrown the ball and was caught by the middle player would switch places and the new opposite side player would play the position. The three girls did a rock, paper and scissor to decide who would be the middle player. After a few times of playing rock paper, and scissor, Lili loss as she stood in the middle while Ais held the purple rubber ball in her hand.
This game was full of deception, since Lili has to inspect their movements to increase her chance on getting the ball. Instinctively, No one wants to play the monkey in the middle which is why Lili's gaze turned sharp as she quietly inspect Ais and Haruhime's action. Ye Han was pushing Sakura in the swing as she shouted
"Papa, push harder!"
"Alright, here we go!"
Ye Han pushes Sakura's back a little bit faster which made her smile as she felt the wind brushing through her hair, Ais began to give Haruhime some signal by using the blinking of the eye. Haruhime replied by pointing both of her fingers to the ground. Lili was having the tough time analyzing which to follow since the moment Haruhime move one of her pointed finger could be where the ball is headed while Ais's blinking could also be a morse code which made her think hard. Never the less within a seconds, Ais threw the ball on the left side not to far from Lili while Haruhime had already disappeared from her location and arrived at the ball's destination. Lili tried to reach out her hand was it was 3 inches short which made her fail in catching the ball on the first throw.
All the new kids in the playground including their parents were silent as they could feel the competitiveness of this three little girls in the small volleyball court. Haruhime who was holding the ball gripped it tight as she inspect where are Lili's weaknesses are, she could throw just a few inches above of Lili's head but this would make her jump and Lili's face would get hit by the ball. Their game of monkey in the middle was like a professional baseball type where the ball couldn't be seen by regular humans. A few seconds later, Haruhime threw the ball on the middle of Lili's legs. Lili did a split as used both of her hands to grab the ball that was flying straight to her, as the ball touches her hand. She was pushed back a few meters away as the ball was still spinning from Haruhime's throw. Lili smirk as she said
"I got it!"
"Awww." -Haruhime
Haruhime now became the middle player while Lili was one of the opposite side of the end player, they continued on playing as Ye Han played tag with sakura and the kids who wanted to become friends with Sakura. He glared at the boys while gave a kind a gentle smile for all those little girls which made them smile and a imagination flower bloom in the area. Never the less Ye Han enjoy the time they spend in the playground. He wondered what food they should buy for lunch before going home. Ada was still resting like a log after a week of brutally tor*cough* training Elma on the ways of a maid, While Elma was actually doing the chores on the house as she wore a maid uniform that was like Tohru's uniform except the tie was blue rather than red since she was a blue sea dragon which was rare in terms of dragon.
