A watermelon made entirely out of gold.
Under the summer sun, the surface of the watermelon reflected a dazzling light.
On the bright surface of the watermelon, a darker shade of dark gold was used to mimic the black stripes on the surface of the watermelon.
But the most embarrassing part was the words [This is really a golden watermelon] engraved on the surface of the watermelon …
After clearing away the seaweed and strange undersea plants on Ikaros' body, the golden watermelon in the arms of the dazed angel appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"It's really gold poi …"
“nanodesu！”
"This looks really interesting DA ☆ ZE!"
"Kacha! Kacha! "
The girls surrounded Ikaros and stuck their heads out to take a look.
Eight-cloud Ink looked at the scene in front of them and suddenly thought of something — —
Watermelon hugging a watermelon …
"Master …?"
Ikaros who was surrounded by the crowd was at a loss of what to do. Her indigo eyes looked towards Eight-cloud Ink with a hint of pleading for help.
"Alright alright, stop crowding around, it's just a weird golden watermelon!"
"What do you mean by weird golden watermelon!"
Towards Eight-cloud Ink's evaluation, Soul Dream stomped her feet to express her dissatisfaction.
"How can you say that about my golden watermelon!"
"Yours?"
Eight-cloud Ink pointed at Ikaros.
"Sure, you can try and see if Ikaros will give it to you."
Then the dazed angel looked at Soul Dream blankly. The latter was staring at the golden watermelon in Ikaros' arms with a covetous gaze and sparkling drool at the corner of her mouth.
Eight-cloud Ink originally thought that with Ikaros' obsession with watermelons, she would've taken out Apollo without a second thought upon seeing Soul Dream coveting her watermelon. But …
Ikaros pursed her lips, lowered her head and suddenly hugged the watermelon tightly with her eyes closed. Even the pink wings on her back stretched out to protect the watermelon.
This, this, this, this, what's going on!?
Could it be that something went wrong after Ikaros opened Pandora and evolved?!
"Ah, Ling Meng, look. Ikaros treasures her watermelon so much, yet you still have the nerve to ask for it?"
Among the elves who had been strolling together, Kurumi covered her small mouth and looked at Ling Meng with a teasing smile.
"Tsk, how shameless!" Seven Sins bluntly criticized.
"Hmph, hmph, hmph, I can't just ignore this kind of thing."
"Seconded, Xi Xian completely agrees with Ye Ju Shi's words."
"Darling, you can't just ignore this kind of thing."
"Shiitona also thinks that the watermelon is very pitiful, right, Shiitona?"
"… Yeah."
○
Eight-cloud Ink patted Ikaros' head and whispered, "Ikaros?"
"… Master …"
The angel buried his head and hugged the watermelon tightly in his arms.
"That … watermelon … was found because of Ling Meng, but … watermelon …"
Eight-cloud Ink seemed to have understood Ikaros' thoughts.
From her point of view, this golden watermelon was only found at the bottom of the sea because of Ling Meng's persuasion. It was also due to Ling Meng's contribution that she was able to find it. Logically speaking, Ling Meng should have a share of the golden watermelon.
But Ikaros really liked watermelons, so she was reluctant to hand it over.
… What a good angel! If it was Ling Meng who had no integrity, she would've refused to let go.
Everyone looked at Ling Meng with even more disdain.
"This is going to be difficult …"
Ikaros' reaction made the others more or less guess her thoughts. Ashina rubbed her smooth chin and thought for a bit before saying, "Since that's the case … why don't we have a competition?"
"Competition?"
"That's right. The winner will get this golden watermelon."
"Why?! It's obviously I- "Seeing everyone's disdain, Ling Meng coughed and changed her words," It's obviously Ikaros and I who found it, why do we have to compete to get it?! "
"Ling Meng, good things should be shared with everyone, DA ☆ ZE!"
"Senior Ling Meng, don't bully Ikaros too much."
… …
Ling Meng looked at Wenwen, who was taking pictures and writing something in a strange notebook. She thought that if she didn't agree, she might end up on the headlines the next day.
Clenching her teeth, Miko-sama said gloomily, "Fine, fine, let's have a competition. What are we competing for? Are we going to defeat demons? "
As he spoke, he took out his imperial coin and waved it in front of Yakumo Ink.
"Let's have a running competition!!"
Shimaze jumped and raised his hand.
"Come on, come on! I'll be the fastest!! "
"Nonsense! I'm the fastest! "Kong Xiang immediately retorted.
… Then the two shipgirls who would feel uncomfortable if they didn't fight for a day went to the side.
Even though Shimaze's suggestion couldn't be approved, it gave everyone an idea.
"Running?"
Eight-cloud Ink stroked her long hair.
"Is it a speed competition? Running can be ruled out, after all, different people's physical conditions are too different. If we compete in this, some people have a natural advantage. "
"Admiral —! Don't, Admiral —! "
Seeing that his suggestion was about to be rejected, Shimaze immediately rushed over with tears in his eyes.
Eight-cloud Ink slapped Shimaze's head.
Shimaze subconsciously said, "Oh!"
Head slapped.
Shimaze said, "Oh!"
At this moment, Wo Chan, who was not far away, heard Dao Kaze's voice and shouted, "Wo!"
Head slapped.
"Oh!" "Oh!"
Head slapped.
"Oh!" "Oh!"
Everyone: "…"
Eight-cloud Ink let go of Shimaze with cold sweat and smiled awkwardly.
Nagato and Lei (Battleship level) looked at each other and covered their faces, not daring to look at others. Too embarrassing, these two guys …
"Well, running is really out of the question, but we can consider a racing competition."
"Racing?"
Speaking of racing, Youli, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly interrupted.
"Racing …? Complicated racing is definitely out of the question, not many people know how to drive, but … how about a simple go-kart? "
"Ha …?"
Fantasy Town didn't know nothing about the outside world — on the contrary, some humans and monsters knew about the outside world as well as the normal people living in the outside world.
"Ah, it seems very interesting!"
Kurumi tilted her head and laughed.
"But since we're going to race, why don't we call everyone here?"
"Everyone?" Eight-cloud Ink raised its eyebrows.
"Let Wenwen spread the news and let those who are willing to come sign up. Let's hold a kart competition …"
It's over …
Eight-cloud Ink knew that Kurumi's suggestion was doomed.
Yakumo could already predict what would happen if she brought up such an idea in front of a group of people who wanted nothing more than for the world to be in chaos — especially when Marisa was one of them.
"Okay, okay! Let's hold a 'Fantasy Town Kart Competition'! Call everyone in, DA ☆ ZE!! "
Marisa was so excited that snot bubbles were coming out of her nose …
Wenwen fanned the flames on the side, "Yes, yes, coming to the seaside was the right choice. We can really make a big news!!"
"But, what about the kart? And the race track … "
"That's easy. Let the kappa and the winged people from Synapse build it! They'll be happy to do it! "
"And the trophy will be this golden watermelon? What about the second and third place? And the rules? Only one race? "
"How can that be! Since we're going to play, let's make it big and have more DA ☆ ZE races! "
"Let's refer to the racing rules of the outside world!"
Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp …
Eight-cloud Ink and Vatler looked at each other.
"I think it'll be lively for a long time."
"Haha, I'm afraid it'll be too lively."

Therefore, with Wenwen's unremitting efforts —
From the Guardian Mansion to the Bori Shrine, from the Top Sky to the Sunflower Field, from the Forever Pavilion to the Monster Mountain, and even the underground world.
Everyone in the Fantasy Land knew that a kart race was going to be held.
The kappa gladly accepted the work of building the kart and the race track — they were always keen on all kinds of construction.
In order to show absolute fairness, the Kappa promised to provide vehicles of the same level.
Then, in addition to the golden watermelon, the second and third place prizes were one hundred thousand and fifty thousand respectively — the funds were provided by the Yayun family.
As for the race track, the preliminary race tracks were the Lost Bamboo Race Track, the Human Race Track, the Red Devil Race Track, the Monster Mountain Track, and the Guardian Mansion Track.
There was the Sunflower Field Track, but …
Eight-cloud Ink thought that if something went wrong during the race and someone drove directly into the Sunflower Field …
Someone would die, right? Definitely, right?
Therefore, the race track was canceled.
In addition, to make the race more interesting, the race track was modified into a combination of props and racing — various props would appear randomly on the race track during the race. Let's thank Doctor Yayun for providing all kinds of props, such as the slippery potion that could instantly turn the friction coefficient to zero!
God knows why Yayun Yayun would come up with something that was completely not for medical use.
"Also, the rules have to be modified. Some people's abilities can't be used."
Since it was related to her golden watermelon, Ling Meng was very concerned about this matter.
"For example, the vampire girl's Time Stop can't be used! Although she can't drive her own car because of Time Stop, she can use a knife to puncture other people's tires!!! "
— Ling Meng, you can only be so enthusiastic at times like this …
Finally, after some discussion, the final rules were as follows:
The race was a combination of props and racing. The participants needed to form a team of three. There was no limit to the number of teams for the time being.
According to the order of reaching the finish line, each person could get 25, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, and 1 points. It was the same as the F1 racing points system.
The team's score was the sum of the points of the three people in the team. The driver with the highest score in the team would be the champion.

"You guys are really … bored …"
Yukari, who was originally asleep, woke up occasionally. After hearing about this, she looked at Eight-cloud Ink and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"This is going to be troublesome."
