"Hahaha! You were completely fooled! You have no idea what happened, right, Ichiryu?" Rai said, laughing loudly at Ichiryu as he stood up, having recovered from his injuries.
Ichiryu, still confused and seeing Hiroshi and his team laughing at him, felt a growing sense of unease.
Ding! Host successfully tricked Ichiryu, experience +1
Ding! Golden Eyes upgraded, new skill acquired: X-Ray Vision
Hiroshi was astonished by the system’s message in his mind.
He hadn’t expected his Golden Eyes to level up, especially with the addition of X-ray vision.
Whoa, is this X-ray vision going to tempt me to do bad things? Or what?
Thinking about it makes me happy... No, no, I’m a righteous gentleman! I’d never have such thoughts, Hiroshi thought, giggling to himself, completely ignoring Ichiryu.
But maybe a little peek wouldn’t hurt. After all, I’m a 30-year-old man in my mind. And it’s been 30 years since I’ve seen a woman’s body! Haha... Oh, my thoughts are impure! Hiroshi chuckled.
At that moment, Ichiryu’s anger exploded. He couldn’t believe Hiroshi was ignoring him.
"This is infuriating! What are you doing? Are you even listening?!" Ichiryu finally shouted, unable to contain his rage any longer.
Hiroshi snapped out of his reverie. "You’re so annoying! If you weren’t already eliminated, I’d really beat you up," he said, smiling.
Just as Ichiryu was about to retort, a voice boomed from the sky, leaving him speechless.
"Ichiryu, eliminated."
"What?! That’s impossible! Shouldn’t he be eliminated?!" Ichiryu shouted, completely bewildered.
Hiroshi smiled. "Alright, alright, no need to shout. Let me explain."
"Your hiding skills were incredibly amateurish. We found your balloon easily, so we attached it to Rai. When you fought Rai, you popped his balloon—which was actually yours. Simple as that!" Hiroshi explained, a mixture of amusement and exasperation in his voice.
Ichiryu slumped to the ground, a whirlwind of emotions washing over him. He didn’t know what to say.
Ichiryu deeply regretted hiding his balloon in the tree. He thought it was a safe spot, but his little trick backfired spectacularly thanks to Hiroshi.
