Nei, and Saito Yuki-san and everyone’s there.
It would be easier for Line Haruko-san to stay with the people involved with the school swimsuit judo tournament.
Okay, I got it, Darling! I’ll take Seiko and everyone there too. Haruko has to get Seiko’s permission to go to high school
Right.
Line Haruko-san’s currently living in Rodulfo Seiko-san’s gym, so of course, we also have to talk to her.
However.
Still, Edie’s amazing for being considerate to so many people
Even the school swimsuit tournament today.
The girl assassins watching the TV show at the mansion just discovered that there’s a way to live as a martial artist.
Margo-san’s reason for establishing the martial arts show in the U.S. was to raise its profile in Japan and to get higher TV rights.
Then, to think that she’s also going to use this opportunity to introduce our school to Line Haruko, who isn’t attending any school because of her problems with her father.
Nonono, It’s nothing amazing. I’m just doing what I can, just like Darling
Edie said.
No, I guess not. I’m doing what I know that I can do, but attempts what he can’t, and forces it so he can do it
Edie smiles.
I’m not like that
I deny it.
I’m not that great of a person
You are. Darling, you need to be more confident in yourself!
I.
It’s easier if you have confidence, but don’t overdo it. Don’t forget that we’re always following behind you Darling
Edie smiles and then she speaks to Kurose Anju, standing behind me.
Anju, be sure to guard Darling okay? yes, I understand
Kurose Anju bows to Edie.
Kurose Anju understands Edie’s position in our family and her strength.
As a bodyguard, Kurose Anju’s a quiet, and a little too good-natured girl, but she’s smart. She’s got an eye for people.
However.
I wonder why Kurose Anju’s been standing far behind me?
She’s a bodyguard so this kind of distance shouldn’t be a problem.
Edie, what should we do with this?
Monkey Mimi-san calls Edie from the tent that’s being dismantled.
I’m going now. Give me a second
Edie waved her hand at Mimi-san.
See you later! Darling! Yeah, good job, Edie
I lightly hugged Edie in the shadows of the schoolyard as the sun is setting.
Despite her curvy fully toned and well-trained body, Edie’s lightweight and small when hugged.
Don’t worry! I’m doing fine, go to Megumi’s place now Yeah, I’ll go pick her up
Edie runs to Mimi-san.
Megu’s next.
I went to the women’s track and field.
When I finally reached the women’s track and field club ground.
The sun’s already set, and the sky’s getting darker.
The women’s track and field team also finished their event at the school festival. Where they measure track records of those who came from outside, and the current students who wish to join the club.
The equipment put on the ground is getting cleaned up too.
Err.
I sift through the girls in the club as it’s dim.
Ah, it’s there
All the track and field girls are assembled at the entrance to the grounds.
!
I noticed someone behind and then.
Kurose Anju’s standing a few meters behind me as usual.
.
Ah, she’s hiding behind a tree
I wonder why?
Is that her way of being considerate?
I don’t get it.
Oh, you’re here Baker-kun Megumi, your prince has come to pick you up!
Seeing me, the track and field club girls said.
I knew it, you’re going to dance at the closing party, right?
Our school had this unwritten rule where sweethearts dance a folk dance at the after-party
uhm, I’m.
Megu looked down in embarrassment.
Then.
What? Yamamine won’t dance?
Takeshiba-san, the head of the athletics club comes with a grumpy look on her face.
Err.
She’s got this unbelievably tough personality so she might hate these kinds of events.
What’s going on, Yamamine?
Takeshiba-san stares at Megu.
uhm, I.
Megu falters.
The other members of the club gathered and quiet down.
But.
uhm, Captain, I’m sorry to ask but aah, I want to go to dance too
Another member raised her hand.
Huh?
Captain Takeshiba stares at the club member, but.
Err, I’m already in my third year, I’m retiring from the track and field for the school festival, and so, uhm
The senior club member speaks to Takeshiba-san with desperate determination.
Sorry, I kept it a secret until now but I’ve been dating someone since this spring! eeh?
Only a third of the track and field club members were surprised.
Meaning, that the rest, especially the seniors know that she had a girlfriend already.
and so, this is my last school festival, and my only chance to get a dance with him! So, uhm, I, Akamatsu Akemi, want to dance! Please let me dance!
In the end, she spoke like it was a campaign speech.
So, who are you dancing with?
Takeshiba-san asks Akamatsu-san.
aah, my boyfriend’s Kiyoshiba Kiyoshi. Please give us your warm support, I’ll appreciate it
Akamatsu-san looks like she’s about to pee herself.
uhm, I’m sorry. Actually, me too
Another member speaks up.
Me too, I’m actually dating Yoneya Yoshiyo-kun Uee?
This time, everyone apart from Takeshiba-san raised their voice in surprise.
Hey, Masami? Since when? You never told us! Err. Uhm, it was starting yesterday
yesterday?
Yesterday was the first day of the school festival.
Uhm, he called me at the back of the gym during the break time and he confessed to me. Teehee That’s not a Teehee moment! You just gave him an okay right there Masami? Yes, you need to explain yourself!
Their curiosity won over their fear of Takeshiba-san
The club girls crowd Masami.
No, well, Yoneya says Now that
STAP
has broken up, it’s not a bad idea for the two of us to date each other, right? so suddenly I don’t get it I get that, that kind of flow is common Really? It’s a high-level theory where since the improbably has happened, and so the probability is also possible! Oh, it’s that pattern where a scammer tells you good stories and you keep nodding until you get to buy some feather blanket or something, right? Yonaye-kun’s not like that
Masami-san’s getting angry at the girls.
Then he says Do you think it’s a good idea for us to start dating or not? Try giving me your honest opinion, so I agreed. Ahahaha
Misami-san laughs suddenly.
I said I guess we could try, but still.ahahahaha. for now. You’re so easy
Captain Takeshiba’s voice is heavy.
Ah, I’m sorry. Captain
Masami-san shrinks.
Then.
I also have another matter I have to report to Captain!
Another girl raised her hand.
What? Tsukamoto? Yes, well, I’m.no, I, Tomoko Tsukamoto’s curious in this one guy
Tsukamoto-san speaks with pride.
And! I want Captain’s blessing! uhm, the guy asked me if I want to dance with him. No, he asked if I want to do the folk dance with him. No, I mean, he said If I don’t get to dance with Tsukamoto, then I’ll slice my stomach here! so he forced me
So it wasn’t a confession but coercion.
And so, Captain, please let this Tsukamoto leave without saying anything! Please
Tsukamoto-san prostrates herself.
The wind blew on the ground.
I’ll ask you, Tsukamoto, who’s that guy?
Takeshiba-san asks.
First year, class third. Aoba Shigeaki!
Tsukamoto-san looks up at Captain Takeshiba.
Huh, Tsukamoto-san, you’re going to be Aoba-kun’s girlfriend?
Another girl mutters.
What?
Tsukamoto-san’s startled.
