Infinite Checkpoint Project: No Game No Life

There was still some time before the start of the game Love or Loved 2, and during this period, Nangou Haruya found something interesting to do, or rather, a game.

Currently, as a guest and collaborator of the Werebeasts, Haruya had the privilege to move freely within the embassy.

Occasionally, he would come across cat-eared maids or bunny-eared girls passing by, all of whom he 'immortalized' with his phone...

If he were to auction these photos online in his home world, he could probably make a fortune...

Originally, Haruya had also considered using his Checkpoint ability to buy lottery tickets and make money, but at that time, his life was already comfortable enough, and he didn't need extra wealth.

Back to the present, as Haruya took the elevator to the top floor, he saw Izuna sunbathing up there.

Ino was probably contacting headquarters and preparing for the game, so Izuna now had plenty of free time.

"...Haruya's stench, desu. Do you also have nothing to do today, desu?"

"I told you, even if you add 'desu', it doesn't make it polite. What are you doing here?"

"Besides sunbathing, I'm also observing, desu." Izuna lay on a wooden chair, her tail curled up, her amethyst eyes fixed on the distant Immanity kingdom, Elkia.

Ah, of course. Since Werebeasts have vision many times stronger than humans, she could see things from afar.

"Did you notice anything unusual?"

"Not really, desu..." Izuna fiddled with her hair as she looked at Haruya, "Haruya, you know those people, right? Why did they challenge us to a game? Is there some kind of conspiracy, desu?"

"A game is just a game. There's only one reason they're doing this, that pair of siblings won't lose to anyone except each other in games." Haruya explained.

"Impossible. I will definitely win, desu."

Her tone was firm. This wasn't just about winning for the sake of it; Izuna was determined to protect the current state of things.

Haruya sat down beside her, looking up at the clear blue sky.

"The weather is nice today."

"Perfect for a nap, but I haven't been able to sleep well lately, desu. Last night, I only slept eight hours."

'Eight hours? That should be enough for a child, right? After all, Izuna-chan is only eight years old.'

'Wait, no...' Haruya remembered that the optimal sleep time is actually nine hours...

While thinking about this, he noticed Izuna wiping a bit of sweat from her forehead.

He suddenly clapped his hands together, "Right! Let's play a game. That way, we won't be bored."

"A game, desu?"

"Yeah, instead of staring at the blue sky in a daze, playing a game is the best choice, don't you think?"

"I don't mind, but what game are we playing, desu?"

"Well..." Haruya thought for a moment, then smacked his right fist into his left palm, as if a lightbulb had appeared above his head, "When it comes to summer games, it's all about water, right? Do you have water guns here?"

"Water guns? You mean those tools that shoot water when you fill them up, desu?"

"Exactly! Let's go get them. Shooting each other will definitely be refreshing."

"I can do that, but I won't let you hit me, desu."

She's so serious about every game...

Following Izuna to the storage room, they retrieved the so-called tools (water guns).

These weren't ordinary water guns, but high-end pump-action ones that could shoot farther.

Haruya looked at the extra water guns and asked Izuna, who was fiddling with the trigger, "Just the two of us is too few. Are there others who would like to join?"

"There are, desu." Izuna pointed to another door, "Many of the maid sisters have finished their work and have free time now, desu."

"Great, let's go!"

With that, Haruya happily took Izuna's hand and ran toward the resting area of the beast-eared maids.

Since the beast-eared girls had nothing to do, six of them agreed to join Haruya and Izuna's invitation.

The play area was the 70th floor. Each person would form their own team, and whoever's clothes got completely wet first would be out of the game and face the punishment from the winner.

"Then, let the game begin, desu!"

Everyone hid in different corners and counted down ten seconds. Haruya, hiding under a wooden box near the entrance, had no intention of actually winning...

His reason was simple: as long as the beast-eared maids got wet, that was already a win in his books!

Thinking this, footsteps sounded after the ten seconds were up.

The 70th floor wasn't large, but it was more than enough to accommodate eight players.

In Haruya's mind, there were two bunny-eared girls and one cat-eared girl, these three needed special attention.

Just as he finished thinking and was about to run out, Izuna's voice came from behind, "First shot, I hit you, desu!"

"Whoa!"

His back was completely soaked.

'Alright...'

...

<< Checkpoint: Reload... >>

"First shot, I hit you, des-!"

Before Izuna's voice even finished, Haruya had already turned around and pulled the trigger.

"——!"

Izuna's eyes widened as she grabbed the nearby wall with her left hand, pulling herself out of the way and narrowly avoiding Haruya's shot.

Even with Haruya's use of 'save scumming', she still dodged it.

Truly, the physical prowess of the Werebeasts was unmatched... 'No, Izuna-chan herself is one of the best among them...'

"Why... could you notice, desu?"

"Because I could smell your scent, Izuna-chan!"

"Grandpa says people like that are definitely perverts who think with their lower half, desu."

"…."

After a brief exchange of words and water gunfire, white streams of water danced through the air, splattering against the walls behind them.

Without hesitation, Haruya followed the sound of footsteps, chasing after Izuna as she disappeared into a corridor.

The 70th floor was essentially a small storage area, with many items packed into metal crates.

Haruya had expected Izuna to make some noise, but that assumption proved too naive.

In just an instant, Izuna's presence vanished completely.

As Haruya stood there puzzled, a bunny-eared girl with a large water gun in each hand and an equally large... chest... emerged from the shadows.

"I... I heard your voice!" Although the bunny-eared maid had excellent hearing, her... assets caused her to lose her balance.

"Whoa!"

As she stumbled, Haruya pulled the trigger, hitting her squarely in the chest.

"Ah! So cold! S-stop shooting!"

Even though she was defenseless, Haruya fired five or six more times... yes, until he was thoroughly satisfied.

Looking at the soaked bunny-eared maid now huddled in the corner, Haruya patted her head.

"It's okay now."

"Don't act like you care, you stinky Immanity!"

"Sorry, sorry. Time to move on to the next target." Haruya proceeded cautiously.

'Objective: Get all the beast-eared maids completely soaked!'
