She’s wearing her school uniform and is working.
I watched it. That was fun
I told Edie, and she was happy.
I’ve been checking on the net, and their reactions were great. It went well
She already looked it up.
Takasaki told Margo that she needs a little more popularity in Japan before going to the US.
Takasaki, the Yakuza Margo-san talked to when it comes to the martial arts entertainment industry.
Otherwise, they can’t buy broadcast rights to Japan at a good price
I see. Women martial arts only has a few fans in Japan.
She got told that she need a wider audience to get a prime-time broadcast.
Edie said.
That’s why we had Nei, Mitama, and Reika appear on air to get our names and faces out there
Today’s school swimsuit judo tournament is a news hook.
The broadcast will get viral on the net and the participants today will get talked about.
Even non-martial artist fans are also interested in Edie and the group.
This should be fine. What’s left is for Margo to do the talks
I see. Edie must have it hard too
I pat Edie’s head.
Yeah, I worked hard, Darling!
Edie smiled.
Then.
So, I have a request, Darling
What?
It’s about Haruko
Edie looks at Line Haruko-san cleaning up the ring.
She’s not going to school right now
Right.
Haruko-san doesn’t get along with her father so she’s living in Rodulfo Seiko-san’s gym.
Naturally, she’s not going to high school.
I want Haruko to enroll in our school
1403. School Festival Day 2 After the Festival (Part 2) I want to help Haruko get into our school
Edie considered it.
I get how Edie feels. I don’t mind asking Minaho-neesan, but.
I.
But I still think that we shouldn’t push that forward unless Line Haruko-san expresses her desire to go to school
We shouldn’t decide for her
Yeah, I think so too
Edie nods.
If possible, I want Haruko to be interested in our school after seeing today’s school festival
Edie smiled gently.
But, Haruko’s occupied with the match until a while ago. That’s why she still hasn’t seen the school at all
But, it’s a school festival.
I’d like to give her a little tour of the school after taking down the ring
The school festival is almost over.
The booths and exhibits are cleaned up.
We still have the post-event. Just have her watch the after-party
I suggested.
Is that okay? The closing party?
The after-party is supposed to be the current students that stay behind.
I’ll deal with that. Rather, if we want Line Haruko-san to see our high school, then it’s better to do it at the after-party when there are no outside guests, just the current students Right, I think that gives better influence if she wants to choose this high school or not
Edie nods.
Oh right, the cafe’s closing soon so you can take Haruko-san there before it does
I looked at the clock and said.
Everyone’s still there right now
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.
