Cherry blossoms drifted down, and a petal landed right on Ikenami Shizuka's head, making her look like she was wearing a pink hat. The way she angrily reached out to brush the petal away made Yuzuru Hanyu burst out laughing.
"You're still laughing!" Ikeba Shizuka stomped her foot, the wooden clogs making a soft "tap-tap" sound in Yuzuru's palm.
However, having already prepared for a beating afterward, Yuzuru remained completely unfazed. Instead, he intensified his actions, treating his miniature master with even greater leniency and beginning to "do whatever he wanted."
First, he gently touched her hair, feeling the soft strands slip through his fingertips. Then he squeezed her small hand, and finally, he even dared to measure her bust size with his fingers...
"you!"
Ikeba Shizuka was furious, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Just as Yuzuru was having a great time, he suddenly discovered a problem—
"Huh? The clothes have shrunk too?"
He sighed in disappointment.
I was hoping to see Master get into trouble because his clothes didn't shrink... cough cough, it seems that 22nd-century department stores are quite legally savvy, and that kind of situation that everyone would love to see won't happen.
"What are you expecting?" Ikeba Shizuka narrowed her eyes dangerously. Although she was only 15 centimeters tall, her aura was still powerful.
"N-nothing..." Yuzuru Nan looked away guiltily.
Chibo Jinghua snorted coldly, and suddenly nimbly climbed up his arm, all the way to his shoulder.
"Master?"
Before Yuzuru could react, the mini version of Shizuka Ikenami grabbed his ear—
"Ouch! Ouch! Master, be gentle!"
Although his size has shrunk, his strength in his hands has not diminished at all!
"You know you were wrong?"
Ikeba Shizuka grabbed his earlobe and asked him condescendingly.
"Okay, okay!"
Yu Shengnan begged for mercy repeatedly, "I will never dare to do it again!"
"Hmph." Ikebane Shizuka finally released her grip, straightening the hem of her kimono, her movements maintaining her usual poise and elegance. "If there's a next time..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but it was full of threat.
However, Yuzuru suddenly had a flash of inspiration and revealed a sly smile: "Master, since we can't change back for the time being... how about I properly 'pay my respects' to you?"
People are only interesting when they court death.
What do you mean you won't dare next time? That's more like you'll dare again! At worst, you'll just get hit a few more times afterward.
"You dare—uh!"
Before Ikenami Shizuka could finish her warning, Yuzuru had already gently placed her on the edge of the picnic basket, and then magically pulled a straw from his pocket, placing it between the teacup and the fruit plate.
"Master, come play on the slide!"
He grinned mischievously and nudged Ikeba Shizuka's back with his finger.
"Yu! Yu! Nan!" Ikeba Shizuka angrily called out someone's real name, but because she was too small, she was powerless to resist and could only be pushed down the straw and land on the soft strawberry slices.
The sleeves of her kimono were stained with a few drops of juice, making her look both disheveled and adorable.
"Haha, Master, you're so adorable!"
Yuzuru laughed and used his fingertips to comb through her disheveled hair.
Just as Ikeba Shizuka was about to lash out, a sudden gust of wind blew, and she was thrown off the strawberry slice!
"Master!"
Yuzuru quickly reached out to take it.
The shrunken Shizuka Ikebab tumbled in the air, her kimono sleeves unfolding like flower petals. Fortunately, at the last moment, she was caught by Nanami Hanyu in his palm.
Are you alright?
"......"
Chibo Jinghua gripped his thumb and let out a long sigh. She had only ever seen things like being blown away by the wind in the news before, and she never expected to experience it herself today.
I must say, it was actually quite exciting...
"I'm sorry, Master..."
"You silly child..."
The beautiful woman's tone, however, carried a helpless yet indulgent quality.
Only you can spoil your own disciple.
On a sudden inspiration, Yuzuru took out a handkerchief from his pocket, folded it into a small hammock in a few quick movements, gently placed Ikenami Shizuka inside, and then hung it on a low branch of the cherry blossom tree.
“That way you won’t be blown away by the wind,” he said softly, gently pushing the hammock with his fingers. “Master, would you like to take a nap? You can turn back when you wake up.”
Ikeba Shizuka lay in the mini hammock, the hem of her kimono swaying slightly with the movement. She looked at her disciple's face, which was so close to hers and filled with concern, and finally shook her head: "Don't let it happen again."
Yes, yes, yes~
Yuzuru agreed with a smile, but secretly took a picture of this rare scene with his phone—his shrunken master was lying in a handkerchief hammock, with cherry blossoms falling behind him, like an exquisite ukiyo-e painting.
A soft whimpering sound came from afar. Yuzuru turned his head and saw the Oddish grasses lining up and hopping towards him.
He put his index finger to his lips: "Shh—don't disturb Master's rest."
The Oddish looked up curiously at the "Mini Ikebono Shizuka" on the tree, its leaves standing up in surprise. One of them couldn't help but call out "Walking, walking," as if asking: How did this adult become so small?
Chibo Jinghua sat up in the hammock. Even though she was only fifteen centimeters tall, she maintained an elegant posture. She nodded slightly to the walking grass, and her demeanor immediately quieted them down, and they obediently lined up and sat under the tree.
"Bu-i?!" (What happened?!)
Yingying, who had just led a large army of monsters outside and ruined Bobo's attack plan, jumped out of the bushes and stared in disbelief at the mini version of Ikenami Shizuka.
"Meiko?" (What's going on?)
The Empress also poked her head out of the river, looking surprised.
Yuzuru proudly showed off: "Look, my new toy!"
As he spoke, he shone the light on Yingying—
The little guy was curiously climbing up the cherry blossom tree, his little paws gripping the trunk tightly, completely unaware of the "danger" that was about to approach.
"Buyi?!"
A flash of green light, and Yingying instantly shrank to the size of a palm, a fluffy ball that looked like a delicate doll. She fell from the cherry blossom tree and rolled twice on the ground before stopping.
"Bu-i-bu-i!" (Help!)
"Walking?!" (Oh my god!)
Now that they knew why Ikenami Shizuka had shrunk, the Oddish were terrified and turned to run away, but they were too late. They all turned into miniature potted plants, their leaves trembling.
"Bo—" (Help—)
Bobo, which had been chasing after Yingying, saw that things were not going well and tried to fly away, flapping its wings and attempting to escape the terrifying "green light." However, it was ultimately unable to escape and was also shrunk to the size of a sparrow, frantically flapping its wings in the air.
The entire backyard instantly transformed into a mini zoo.
Watching her disciple's antics, Ikebo Shizuka kept a straight face and pretended to be angry, but a hint of a smile was hidden in her eyes.
This silly student always manages to break her usual elegance and composure in all sorts of unexpected ways, plunging her into all sorts of ridiculous situations.
But... this feeling doesn't seem so bad?
