Dan Toushiko-san’s disciples carry her out of the ring.

Nei smiles at the camera.

Since the school swimsuit judo tournament is on commercial TV, there will be commercials.

Oh, Edogawa foods, the same company that paid for the last martial arts tournament

I recall the petite chairman of Edogawa Foods who was also the organizer of the previous martial arts convention.

Yes, Margo-san asked them to sponsor today’s broadcast

Katsuko-nee said.

The chairman of Edogawa foods is supporting Margo-san’s dream of becoming a female fighter and winning against the male fighters in the US and has become Margo-san’s sponsor.

Margo-san asked him to sponsor today’s show as well.

Edie-chan’s sport seems to be a success

Katsuko-nee smiles.

Yeah, at first, I think the viewers don’t know what’s happening, but.

But, Nei-oneesan’s wackiness and beauty manage to deal with that

The viewers will get glued to the screen

Eri and Rie said.

And then, Edie-neesan knocked out that big Dan-san, who looks like an auntie in just a single blow

Yeah, now the audience is convinced that it’s indeed a martial arts tournament

Edie knocking out Dan-san creates a good flow.

Even looking at the current video, I’m sure that’ll cause quite the stir over the net

Haiji said.

Nowadays, you can’t rely on just TV ratings, if it’s fascinating on TV, then it’ll get viral over the internet right away

That’s right, people who like fighting will tell others about Dan-san’s profile

They can tell that it wasn’t a fake that the smaller Edie-oneesan beat Dan Toushiko-san, who’s an accomplished fighter, in just a single blow.

Indeed. Edie-chan benefits from that public execution on TV, but there’s nothing for Dan-san at all.

Haiji, Rie, Eri, and Katsuko-nee said.

Right, they’re serious fighters in the martial arts tournament,

All the fans know is that Dan-san is a strong fighter, who’s serious about martial arts.

Furthermore, she didn’t announce that she’ll join Margo-san’s US challenge like Rodulfo-san and Poron-san.

There’s no reason why she should give Edie, who’s still a high school girl, and a member of Margo-san’s team, a reason to give a win.

If I recall, the previous tournament also made waves over the internet, right?

Haiji asks.

Yeah, if I recall, you can watch it for free on youtube

If so, those who are interested in Edie-oneesan in this current broadcast will watch those videos as well

Then, Edie had an overwhelming win in the tournament.

She’s just a freshman, yet, she won the lightweight class.

Yeah, seeing that, they’ll see Edie’s skill and how she defeated Dan-san

It’s a tournament with contestants from various gyms and dojos, so there’s no match-fixing.

AFter this, Rodulfo-san will fight Mimi-san, Poron-san, and Grace-san, and the high school girls division, featuring Line Haruko-san and Kudou Haruka-san, and the group will be worth watching Kudou Haruka’s learning Kudou arts now, so her skills have started to spread out.

Line-san also trained with Edie and the girls multiple times.

Still, it’s amazing that they managed to get it on air

It was just yesterday that Edie said that she’ll start a school swimsuit judo tournament, and it’s happening today.

They must’ve forced their way to some Sunday afternoon drama rerun

Amazingly, they make it through such recklessness.

She can’t wait to get them to watch. Edie-chan I mean

Katsuko-nee smiled.

You see, she wanted to show those thirteen girls that they can make a living as a martial artists

The thirteen girl assassins came from Southeast Asia.

That’s right if you see it on TV, it gives you a much more tangible image of how the world works

Eri said.

Martial arts is a business, and it’s everywhere, I’m sure it’s easy for those girls to imagine it as one of their future plans

Rie too.

They grew up from childhood thinking that there’s only prostitution, assassination, or crime syndicates, but in this world, there will always be adults who like martial arts. Well, some aren’t many fans of martial arts as they just make bets on the matches Haiji, who’s raised in Europe slums, said.

The life plan we proposed to them after quitting assassin is currently at four, right? Baker, bodyguard, martial artist, and mother, right? For the bakery, we showed them where we worked yesterday and today, so they can visualize what it’s like to do this kind of work and how they can make a good living if they get many customers Katsuko-nee said.

So, the next one would be watching her on TV in a martial arts tournament, showing clearly and plainly that becoming a martial artist is a viable choice

Edie and Grace-san can talk about them being martial artists, but they can’t imagine themselves being the same.

Seeing them in the ring with a large crowd on the TV screen, it’ll be their first time thinking that they want to make a living by being a martial artist like Edie.

Edie-oneesama’s skills are amazing, and she’s smart too. And yet, why does she have such a patient personality?

Haiji said.

Edie’s patient?

I asked.

Yes, I feel that way. Edie-oneesama always concerns herself with the people around her and takes measures to cope with them. She always smiles, waiting for those around her to understand the meaning of her actions Haiji looks down bashfully.

In the past, I was under the impression that my ideas are always better than those around me. That’s why I was angry at people who can’t judge the situation at the same speed as me. Why can’t you figure it out? is the attitude I had Right, Haiji was quite aloof when she was Mariko’s bodyguard.

Right, Haiji-chan and Edie-chan are both quick thinkers, that’s why you get irritated with the speed of normal people

Katsuko-nee said.

I’m no match against Edie-oneesama. Edie-oneesama and Michi-oneesama are much more amazing than me.

Haiji’s right, Edie and Michi are on the level of geniuses now.

Yes, we sisters can see the minds of everyone but Edie-oneesama and Michi-oneesama’s too fast for us to follow

One of the Takakura shrine maidens, Yomi, also agrees.

However, when Edie-oneesama realizes that we can’t follow, she deliberately slows down and summarizes the main points in her head

Edie’s being considerate even to the girls who can read minds.

As for Michi-oneesama, I have no idea what she’s thinking from start to end

Yeah, even I have times where I don’t even know what Michi’s thinking

Michi’s a genius girl and also a masochist, and add her love for Misuzu as a factor and she speaks things that are far beyond my understanding.

Oh? Wasn’t Edie-chan the same? When she came over?

Katsuko-nee?

Well yeah, when she escaped Miss Cordelia and started living with us, I don’t even know what Edie’s thinking.

But, that’s only because Edie couldn’t speak Japanese yet, right?

I say, but.

I don’t think that it. Edie-chan adjusted her speed to match with us. When she’s with Kyouko-san and Cordelia-san, she’s in a hurry with her thinking and she acts immediately as she comes up with the idea Oh right, Miss Cordelia went to Japan hostile to us.

That battle at the hotel last May was a fight with our life on the line.

Even Edie was in battle mode.

Edie’s gone from being too tense to be more in tune with our speed of thinking

Yes, Edie-oneesama does speak weirdly on purpose, but.

Yomi said.

But, we know how Edie-oneesama’s train of thought flows, first, she speaks in fluent Japanese in her head, and she purposely breaks it down to her usual tone. By doing that, she slows down her speed of thought, by organizing the thoughts as she speaks so we can understand her I see.

Edie-chan has it hard too. She’s too talented that she got kicked out of her birthplace

I tell Haiji and the girls.
