why do you?

She knows that Michi and Edie can use that skill, but.

She never thought that the four years younger girl also knows the same skill that can ward off Qi.

She evolves every moment

Edie said.

While Otome’s unconscious, Haiji already moved to the next level That can’t be true!

Tendou Otome tries to hit Haiji-san with her fist filled with Qi.

The combat ended too soon.

!

Haiji-san’s counter kick hits Tendou Otome’s flank.

Guee!

Tendou Otome’s body turned around from the momentum of the kick and she lied down on the mat floor of the dojo.

Guu!

Tendou Otome twists around the floor as she holds her side.

There’s tears, snot, and saliva leaking out. She’s in pain.

She’s writhing in pain.

Otome-chan!

Tokuda Sonoko-san stood up and tried to rush towards her without thinking but.

Don’t go over here

Edie stops her.

but. It’s okay. She’s suffering but she won’t die Yes, she will not die

Haiji-san tells Sonoko-san.

Although, hitting a vital spot would really hurt. Amazingly, you didn’t pee yourself, Otome Guaa!

Tendou Otome’s groaning in pain.

That’s disgraceful of you. After all that bragging you’ve done

Edie laughed at Tendou Otome who’s lying down on the floor.

Yomi, ease the pain with your power. She can’t talk like that Yes, Sensei

Yomi uses her Miko power.

Hey, I’ll ease up the pain Aah, gugu, aguguguu, uugh, aa, fuu, aa, fuu, fuu

Tendou Otome’s breathing calmed down.

She still holds her side but she no longer writhes from pain.

Just because the pain decreased doesn’t mean you can move. The damage still remains in your body

Edie tells her.

If you force yourself now, it will be dangerous for you Haa, haa, haa

She’s calmed down but her tears and snot still flowing.

Otome, you’re a hopeless frog in a well

Edie said.

Compared to ordinary people, you’re somewhat strong. But, your martial arts aren’t great. You haven’t learned seriously uu

She wants to retort but Tendou Otome can do nothing but groan.

Oh right, you also learned martial arts at least. But, Otome, you weren’t serious in learning. The school of techniques you have is all plastered together from the best parts, you don’t know the foundation at all. That’s why you can’t gather up the right experience

She thinks that the martial arts flair is nothing and so she only learned the flashy techniques.

She uses Qi skills.

But, her foundation is overwhelmingly lacking.

Furthermore, you’re naive to think that your skill is good enough to get through this world and so you lack daily training. That’s why you are useless

Then, Edie looked at Haiji-san.

Haiji learned the foundation from the Academy. Don’t look down on academic training. It’s multiple people taking a long time to build all the theories. Each of the high-level techniques is different but the foundation isn’t. Human bodies have an identical framework. Haiji only received the training from the academy but she continues to train everything that she learned there. Therefore, she can master a new skill in such a short time. Her body is sharp and flexible.

Haiji-san’s proud that she graduated from the Academy.

And it has also become her insecurity.

Haiji-san has no connections with the elites nor any first-class bodyguard companies.

Therefore, she had no place to learn but the Academy.

During your exhibition match at the party Haiji, that German Ninja Arts that you used was something you made, right?

Edie asks Haiji-san.

Oh right, that one.

That strange technique where she takes out a blade on her toe and fights with kicks.

Yes, I’m sorry

Haiji-san apologized.

Don’t. You thought that you have to show your appeal by learning a special technique you can use, right? Yes, I’m half Japanese and European after all. I thought that saying that I mastered ninja arts from Japan would increase my chances in getting hired in Europe but I grew up in Europe so I don’t know any ninja arts

Thus, she called it German ninja arts.

In the end, Haiji-san couldn’t find an employer in Europe.

That she became a bodyguard of Torii-san in Japan instead.

I see. She wrote that she can use German ninja arts in her resume, and so.

She had to show off that skill during her fight with Anjou Kinuka-san as Torii-san’s watching.

Haiji’s German ninja arts were ill-prepared. It’s not a skill where you thought every corner, and so none of it makes sense

Yeah, during her fight with Kinuka-san, there was that strange atmosphere.

Kinuka-san’s cat claws also looked somewhat stumped.

Although, Anjou arts is an old-fashioned martial art passed down to generations of the bodyguards of Kurama house.

The sisters don’t cooperate with other bodyguards either.

Otome saw Haiji’s German ninja arts and thought that the ill-prepared skill means that she’s not skilled

Therefore, she had confidence that she’s stronger.

But I saw through her poor skills and understood that Haiji habitually trains her body with the basics. I thought that she could grow stronger as she has an honest personality, all she needed is a senior figure. That’s why

I see. So that’s why Edie.

That’s why she wants Haiji-san in our family.

Haiji-san’s arrogant on the outside because she’s impatient due to her having no connections.

She saw that the real Haiji-san is an honest and earnest girl.

No.

I also got it somehow. Haiji-san’s speaks harshly with Torii-san but she makes sure to stand behind her Master

She’s enthusiastic about her appeal but she’s not desperate.

She wanted to get a higher class employer among the daughters of nobility at the party.

That’s because Torii-san is in that weird position where she’s not actually a daughter of nobility.

Yeah, I sensed that she’s not a bad girl. It’s just that she’s ignorant of the ways of the world.

Despite Shou-neechan, who graduated from the regular course in the academy, being present.

She started a business of referring graduates of the academy’s shorterm course to the nobility.

But, I didn’t sense any displeasure with Haiji-san. She’s a troublesome girl, but I saw her as an interesting and cute girl

Torii-san, Kanou-san, and Kaan Momoko-neechan.

Also, Anjou Mitama and Kinuka.

thank you

Haiji-san blushed as she thanked me.

Then, what did you feel with Otome-chan?

Nei?

I look at Tendou Otome who’s still lying down and unable to speak yet.

Tendou-san has nothing but unpleasant emotions

I speak honestly.

When she came with us to rescue Sonoko-san and others in the Karaoke bar, I thought that she sees them as friends, but it’s different.

I.

Tendou-san’s kindness is imposed on the other party. She doesn’t care what the other party wants nor what they think. She only forces them to do what she tells them to do I thought so too

Nei said.

Therefore, Otome-chan thinks that all of the daughters of Yakuza are her followers and that she has to protect all of them Yeah and those girls are using that attitude of Tendou-san back at her

Especially the blonde, red-haired, and perm-haired girls.

Or, it becomes an unwelcome favor, just like Sonoko-chan

Nei looked at Sonoko-san.

Sonoko-san, you should be clear with her. Tell Otome-chan that you can’t be together with her

Sonoko-san.

Yes, you’re right

She speaks to Tendou Otome who’s lying down on the tatami mat floor.

Otome-chan, you see.

She speaks calmly, yet serious.

I don’t know if it’s the right choice to become a prostitute or not. I’m still 17, and so I don’t know a lot in this world. Maybe I’m just going with the flow since I’m told that I have no other way but to become a prostitute, and I might accept this fate. I’m just a weak girl. I don’t have a strong will. I know that my life will not go as how I expect it to be. I’ll always succumb. Maybe they’re people different from Tendou-san. I might still be a girl that is dominated, but.
