Tokyo Sick Girlfriend

Chapter 41 If the mountain won't come to me, I'll go to the mountain.

With a girl's delicate shout, a crisp sound of striking the surface rang out in the air.

Nagano Ritsusuke was so shocked by the slash that he staggered and almost fell over.

The entire room fell silent. Apart from the students from University C, everyone stared in disbelief at the scene before them.

Fast, accurate and ruthless.

The battle ended in the blink of an eye, lasting less than half a minute.

To most people, this was pure violent aesthetics.

There was almost no contest; all I saw was Saori Hasegawa rushing forward and slashing countless times. The final strike to the face was barely visible, and Ritsusuke Nagano nearly fell over.

If she hadn't been wearing protective gear, her final strike to the face would have split Nagano Ritsusuke's head open.

Is this... really a girl?
Where did this numerical monster come from?

A variety of complex emotions arose in everyone's hearts. The hatred and dissatisfaction they had felt earlier vanished completely, replaced by deep shock and admiration.

Too strong.

That speed and power, even I wouldn't be able to withstand for more than three seconds.

'Pah, pah, pah.'

After a while, scattered applause broke out.

Standing next to Fujiyama Keio, Tazawa snapped out of his reverie and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and ask:

"Minister, did you see it clearly?"

Fujiyama Keio turned his head, first giving him a stern look, then a relieved smile appeared on his face as he said:

"No, I only saw a numerical monster running rampant."

"Tian Ze".

"What's wrong, Minister?"

"You'll be the referee next."

Tian Ze was taken aback, and asked with a confused look in his eyes:

"Huh? What are you doing, Minister? The game isn't over yet..."

"I'm going to call Shiratori!"

"..."

Off the court, Yokoyama Miyu, who was kneeling, covered her forehead when she saw Saori's merciless attack.

When the girl took off her headgear and sat down beside her, she couldn't help but scold her:
"You've gone too far, Saori. What exactly are you trying to do?"

"..."

Saori Hasegawa didn't say anything, but quietly knelt to the side, taking out a piece of seaweed rice ball from the plastic bag and nibbling on it.

She didn't know what "going too far" meant; she only knew that this way she could see him sooner.
-
Shiratori Seiya was unaware of the chaos unfolding within the kendo club.

As he walked leisurely toward the club building, he explained the rules of the kendo competition to Mio Takahashi.

"Generally speaking, the competition is a best-of-three format, meaning the player who hits the valid target area first and scores two points wins."

"The effective treatment areas are the face, throat, wrists, and torso..."

"But simply hitting the right spot doesn't count as a valid score; you also need to have enough momentum, the correct posture, and complete Zanshin."

"oh oh."

Mio Takahashi nodded as if she understood, but she had never actually paid attention to kendo competitions. She had watched two with Reika in high school, but she wasn't interested.

Listening to Shiratori Seiya describe the details and strategies of various attacks, I suddenly found it quite interesting and decided to buy a bamboo sword to try it out at home.

Following Shiratori Seiya into the club building, she turned to him while climbing the stairs and asked:
"Um, are you okay with this later? Don't you need to warm up?"

Shiratori Seiya shook his head and explained:
"No need, I train every morning. I've been practicing kendo since junior high school, and I really enjoy it."

So you like kendo.

Mio Takahashi narrowed her eyes, made a mental note, and then asked with a smile:

"Then you must be very skilled, right? No wonder your minister came to you for support; he must be confident of victory."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Shiratori Seiya slowed his pace. Recalling what Fujiyama Keio had said to him on the phone earlier, he felt a strange sense of unease. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"It's not so much about putting on a show, and it's hard to say whether we've got the victory in the bag, but we should be able to put up a good fight."

"Oh."

Mio Takahashi nodded, but inwardly she found it amusing.

What's wrong with you? You practice kendo every day, from high school until now, and you still say things like "it's a back-and-forth fight".

Are you just waiting for me to praise you when you win?
However, in her heart, she was not disgusted by Shiratori Seiya's 'false modesty'; on the contrary, she was somewhat happy to have this opportunity to improve her favorability.

When he wins, how should I praise him?

Don't be too flashy. This jerk has high emotional intelligence; he'll probably see through it immediately.

Mio Takahashi was pondering her words when, without realizing it, she had followed Seiya Shiratori to the entrance of the kendo dojo. As soon as she pushed open the door, before she could even see what was inside, she heard a series of 'crackling' sounds of bamboo swords striking each other, and Fujiyama Takao came to greet her.

"Shiratori-kun, you've finally arrived."

He had barely finished speaking when he saw Takahashi Mio following behind Shiratori Seiya. He paused for a moment, then asked:

"This is?"

Mio Takahashi didn't say anything, but gave him a polite smile, and then naturally took Shiratori Seiya's arm.

"Mio Takahashi, my girlfriend."

"Huh? Girlfriend?"

Fujiyama Keio's face showed surprise, and he couldn't help but say:

"You little brat, you finally..."

He didn't finish his sentence in front of Mio Takahashi.

During a previous club social event, he had tried to set Shiratori Seiya up with someone, but he rejected the offer without hesitation.

"Minister Fujiyama, I currently have no intention of dating."

Fujiyama Keio still remembered what Shiratori Seiya had said, but now it seems that he hadn't taken a liking to him.

He glanced at Mio Takahashi.

Although I didn't look closely, I can tell she's a top-tier beauty, basically on par with that numerical monster from before...

Thinking of this, Fujiyama Keio seemed to realize something and paused for a moment.

After thinking for a moment, he walked to Shiratori Seiya's side and said:

"Well, since we have a competition later, shall we change our clothes first?"

Upon hearing this, Takahashi Mio naturally released her grip, looking at Shiratori Seiya with tender eyes and saying:

"Would you like me to help you change your clothes?"

Shiratori Seiya glanced at her speechlessly. She was a natural-born actress, always putting on an act. But he didn't embarrass her in front of Fujiyama Keio, and said with a forced smile:
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

After saying that, he ignored the shy-looking girl and followed Fujiyama Keio toward the changing room...

"what happened?"

While changing into his protective gear, Shiratori Seiya looked at Fujiyama Keio and asked.

"I wonder if you've messed with someone you shouldn't have, Shiratori-kun?"

"Who are you supposed to avoid?"

"It's a girl from C University, and she insisted on finding you."

"girl?"

After putting on his armor, Shiratori Seiya frowned, racking his brains but not remembering having a female friend in Tokyo who knew kendo.

Seeing the bewildered look on his face, Fujiyama Keio couldn't help but retort:
"How many women have you been entangled with? I can't even remember them all?"

"Shiratori-kun, I never expected you to be this kind of person."

"..."

"Forget it, don't think about it anymore. You'll find out when you get out. That woman is waiting for you in the dojo."

Fujiyama Keio always felt that the two knew each other, so he didn't mention the other's terrifying numbers.

Shiratori Seiya thought about it and agreed. He rubbed his left arm through his clothes, picked up his usual bamboo sword and helmet, and walked outside.

However, as soon as he lifted the curtain and before he could take a step, a figure stood in front of him, and he almost bumped into it.

Shiratori Seiya subconsciously frowned and took a step back.

However, when he saw the girl's delicate, fair face and her clear, ethereal eyes, he was completely stunned.

A memory, along with a sound, suddenly surfaced in my mind:
'Kiyoshi, I've tried my best.'

'Saori isn't stupid.'

'I want to marry you!'

"Are you leaving? You'll come back, right?"

Their eyes met, and the girl's face, which had been blurry in his memory, gradually became clear, her eyes as pure and ethereal as ever.

Shiratori Seiya opened his mouth and subconsciously uttered her name:
“Saori, you…”

'Clap. '

Crystalline tears overflowed from her eyes and fell to the ground.

The girl tilted her head slightly, her eyes curving into crescents, and a silly smile appeared on her face:

"Saori's back."
