"Okay! I got it, brother! Zagi over here!" Negi nodded immediately after I finished speaking.

After Negi left, I glanced back at where Konoka had been and said to Setsuna with a smile, "Setsuna, you can team up with Konoka and the others!"

"Young Master Tian?" I said, and he looked surprised.

"Setsuna, I'm not a young master, I'm just a teacher!" I said with a smile, looking at the nervous Setsuna.

With the announcement, the train started moving. Everyone sat in their seats and took out playing cards and other games, because it would take three hours to reach their destination after the train started moving.

While Negi and I were chatting in the teacher's seat, Setsuna, carrying her 'Yunagi' wrapped in black cloth, walked up to me and said, "Kuchiki-sensei, may I have a private chat with you for a while?" She then bowed slightly to Negi.

“Okay!” I said with a smile, then smiled at Negi and said, “Negi, I’ll be back in a bit!” I stood up and followed Setsuna to another carriage.

Chapter 233 A Moment

"Young Master Tian, ​​please help me protect Miss!" In an empty carriage, Shana looked down at me earnestly and said.

Looking at Setsuna's serious face, I remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Is this your request or the principal's order?"

"Ah...this is..." As soon as I finished speaking, I was immediately stumped by the question.

"What is it?" I asked in a very calm tone.

After a moment of silence, he bowed deeply and pleaded, "Please, Young Master Tian, ​​I don't know how long I can protect Miss, so I..."

"So, this is your own request! Well then... I agree." I said with a smile, looking at Setsuna who was bent over, and then placed my hand on her head and said, "Setsuna, you've worked so hard all this time."

"Young Master Tian!" In an instant, her face flushed slightly.

Seeing Setsuna's slightly flushed face, I couldn't help but ask, "Setsuna, do you want to stay by Konoka's side forever?"

As soon as I finished speaking, her face instantly turned from slightly flushed to bright red, and she remained silent for a long time. Seeing this, I deliberately asked in a questioning tone, "You're not going to answer? So you don't want to?"

Hearing this, Setsuna hurriedly said, "Ah, no, Young Master Tian! I... I hope I can always be by Miss's side to protect her! But..."

"But what? There are no buts! Just do what you want." I interrupted Setsuna directly.

Hearing me say that, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, Young Master Tian, ​​I know what to do. But can you tell me how I can stay by Miss's side forever?"

Looking at Setsuna's expectant face, I lowered my head and whispered in her ear, "The way to keep you by Konoka's side forever is... to become my bride with Konoka!"

"Ah...to be...to be Young Master Tian's bride with the young lady! This...how can this be?" After hearing my solution, Setsuna immediately became a little incoherent, her face almost glowing red.

“No problem, as for Konoka… she’ll definitely agree!” I continued, blowing a few breaths of warm air into her earlobe as I spoke.

"Ah... Miss... she... she... she will definitely agree! This... I..." As soon as I finished speaking, my mind was filled with images of two women sharing one husband, and the red light intensified.

"So, will you be my bride?" I continued, whispering in her ear.

"Ah...this...this...for the young lady...I...I...am willing...willing..."

Before I could even utter the word 'meaning', Setsuna and I heard Negi's shout. As a qualified warrior, Setsuna immediately snapped out of his previous state, removed the black cloth covering 'Yunagi', placed it at his waist, and stared at the source of the sound, his face flushed.

Seeing Setsuna's wary expression, I sighed helplessly, looked at the object flying at high speed, and said to Setsuna beside me, "It's up to you, Setsuna!"

"I understand, Young Master Tian!" In an instant, his face had turned from bright red to slightly flushed, and he said in a serious tone.

A flash of sword light, and the swallow carrying the envelope in its beak was instantly cleaved in two. In mid-air, it transformed into a swallow-shaped piece of white paper, which fell to the ground along with the envelope. Watching Setsuna slowly sheathing Yuunagi, I immediately smiled and said, "Well done, Setsuna!"

Hearing me say that, her face flushed red again, and she hurriedly said to me, "This...it's nothing!"

Seeing her blush, I laughed again, and gestured towards the envelope on the ground. The envelope immediately flew into my hand. Just then, Negi ran over, and upon seeing me, he shouted, "Brother! Um... and Sakurazaki-san too!"

"Negi, how could you be so reckless! Look!" I scolded Negi with a smile, handing him the envelope in my hand as I looked at him anxiously.

“A letter from the principal! Thank you, brother!” Negi said with a smile as soon as he saw the envelope in my hand.

"Don't thank me, you should thank Setsuna!" I said, pointing at Setsuna as I looked at Negi with a smile on his face.

"Um... thank you, Sakura-san! You've done me a huge favor!" Negi immediately thanked Setsuna.

Setsuna tightened the rope binding Yuunagi's black cloth and said calmly, "No need to thank me, Negi-sensei. I just picked this up from the ground! Since it's yours, please be careful, especially after you get there... Kuchiki-sensei, I'll take my leave now!" With that, he bowed slightly to me and left with Yuunagi on his back.

"Brother, what did she mean?" Negi asked, watching Setsuna leave.

"I'm not entirely sure, but you've entered enemy territory, so it's only right to be careful!" I said with a smile to Negi, who looked puzzled, and then walked back to the carriage we had been in.

When I returned to my seat, I found Shizuna lying there, pale-faced and muttering something. I immediately asked Negi in confusion, "Shizuna-sensei, what's wrong?"

Negi immediately scratched his head and said with a smile, "Shizuna-sensei seems to be very afraid of frogs, so..."

"Are you afraid of frogs? Actually, I kind of hate them too!" I said with a smile, looking at Shizuna who had already taken over the seats for me and Negi.

"Brother Tian, ​​sit here!" When Konaka saw me standing next to the seat, she immediately called out to me. She and Asuna, who were originally sitting inside, switched places, making room for one person in the two seats.

"Ah, no need, Konoka!" I said hurriedly.

"It's alright, Brother Tian, ​​come quickly, shall we?" Munaika said with a smile.

After I sat down, Konaka immediately took my arm and laughed, whispering in my ear, "Ten-nii-san, thank you! It turns out that Xiaosha has been protecting me all along!"

"Konaka, you can hear me? I thought you couldn't hear me!" I said with a smile when I heard Konaka say that.

"Yes, I can hear you. I don't know how Tian-gege did it, but Tian-gege is really amazing!" Hearing me say that, Munaika immediately nodded and said.

"What are you talking about?" Asuna asked, looking at me and Konoka with a puzzled expression.

"Ah...it's nothing?" I said hurriedly, taking the drink that Konoka handed me and drinking it.

"Fine, don't tell me then!" Asuna turned her face to the side, a little unhappy, when she saw me like this.

Konoka hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, Asuna, let me tell you!" Then she whispered in Asuna's ear, "Actually, Ten-nii was telling me that we should both be his brides!"

"Pfft...!" With my super-sensitive hearing, Konoka's voice came through to my ears clearly, and I couldn't help but spit out the drink in my mouth.

Chapter 234 A Moment Arrives

Kiyomizu temple

"Kyoto!" Shiina Sakurako shouted, raising her hands as she looked at the scenery before her.

"This is the main hall of Kiyomizu-dera Temple, also known as the 'Kiyomizu Stage'..." said Ayase Yuei, standing there while drinking a strange-tasting beverage.

Negi, walking beside me, was looking at the surrounding scenery with an excited expression, then said with a smile, "Brother, look! All these are ancient wooden buildings, it feels really... amazing!"

“Negi seems quite happy!” Konoka, who had been holding my hand, immediately said with a smile.

“Yes, because this is my first time traveling to a place like this! Kyoto is absolutely amazing.” Negi said with a smile as soon as he heard Konoka ask this.

“Well…he’s still just a kid!” Asuna immediately said with a smile.

"That's so unfair, Asuna! I just didn't have the chance, it has nothing to do with age!" Negi immediately defended himself.

"I only said you're a child, nothing else!" Asuna said with a smile, looking at Negi's angry expression.

"Ha ha…!"

"Negi-sensei! Please come with me for a love fortune telling!" Ayaka Yukihiro suddenly ran over and said to Negi.

"This...!" Negi was about to say something when Sasaki Tokie and the Narutaki sisters rushed out from the side and dragged him away, saying, "Negi, let's go!"

"Hey, you three, how could you steal... and act on your own?" Yukihiro Ayaka shouted as she watched the three dragging Negi away.

"Konaka, Asuna, let's go take a look too!" I said to Konaka and Asuna with a smile as I watched Negi being dragged away.

"Yes!" Konoka immediately nodded with a smile, while Asuna said nothing.

As we walked up the stone steps, Negi and the others were standing in front of a rock, cheering on Yukihiro Ayaka, Sasaki Tokie, and Miyazaki Kazuka, who were walking forward with their eyes closed. We immediately smiled and followed. Seeing the puzzled looks on Asuna and my face, Konoka immediately said with a smile, "Ten-nii, Asuna, I heard that if you walk from this rock to that rock with your eyes closed, your love will come true!"

"Really, the two rocks are only about twenty meters apart. That's too easy!" Asuna said, looking at the distance between the two rocks with a puzzled expression.

Seeing Asuna's puzzled expression, I immediately smiled and said, "The simpler the thing, the easier it is to make a mistake! Look!" Just then, Yukihiro Ayaka and Sasaki Tokie fell into a trap, and because of their position, I could see their bodies clearly.

"Brother Tian, ​​you're so lecherous!" Konaka immediately put her chin on her hands and looked at me with a smile. As Konaka spoke, the women around Negi looked at me with ambiguous eyes.

"It was a complete accident!" I immediately explained when I saw the way the women were looking at me.

"No need to explain, explaining is just covering up, you perverted Kuchiki-sensei!" Asuna said, looking at me with what seemed like anger.

"This is definitely revenge!" I couldn't help but think to myself, looking at Asuna's expression. With that thought, I ran off to the side, feigning utter despair, and started drawing circles on my face.

Just as I was feeling better after being comforted by Konoka (actually, I was just trying to save face), when I arrived at the location of Negi and the others, all I saw was a pile of 'corpses'. Judging from their appearance, they were definitely drunk.

"Everyone seems so tired! They fell asleep in a place like this!" Konaka said with a smile, looking at the 'corpses' scattered on the ground.

"Thump!" Asuna, who was tidying up the corpses nearby, collapsed to the ground after hearing what Konoka said!

........................

"Big Brother, Negi, I think this must be the work of that female student named Setsuna!" Camo said angrily to Negi and me in the hotel.

Hearing Camo say this, Negi nodded and said, "Brother, I also think she's very suspicious!" He looked at me expectantly, as if waiting for my evaluation.

"Hehe... Negi, Setsuna isn't that kind of person, don't worry!" I said with a laugh, patting Negi's head.

At that moment, Asuna, who had just helped all the drunk people to their rooms to rest, came out of the room and said to me and Negi, "I've already helped all the drunk people to their rooms to rest, how could this happen?"

Seeing Asuna's puzzled expression, I smiled and said to Negi, "Negi, just tell me! Asuna is your partner, isn't she?"

“Yes, I understand, brother! Asuna, actually it’s like this…” Negi nodded and slowly recounted the whole story.

"Ah... our Class A has been targeted by a magic group from Kansai. How come it's related to magic again?" Asuna said helplessly after Negi finished speaking, because for her, anything related to magic was almost never a good thing.

"Asuina-kun, I'm so sorry...!" Negi said apologetically after Asuna finished speaking.

Just then, Shizuna, wearing a yukata, walked over. She seemed to have just soaked in a hot spring, as her skin still had a faint red tinge. Upon seeing me and Negi, she immediately smiled and said, "Kuchiki-sensei, Negi-sensei! Faculty members must take a shower early!"

"Ah, I understand!" Negi and I said hurriedly with smiles.

After Shizuna left, I said, "Let's discuss the rest during our free time tonight! Now, Negi and I will take a shower first!"

"Okay, brother!"

"Perfect timing, our fifth group is about to shower too! Let's chat later!" Asuna said, glancing at the time.

See you later!

...Five minutes later...

"Wow, this is an open-air hot spring!" Negi said, sitting in the hot spring with a look of enjoyment on his face.

"It's amazing! I haven't had a hot spring bath in ages! It's so comfortable to soak in the hot spring while enjoying the breeze!" I said, equally pleased.

"Brother, have you ever bathed in a hot spring before?" Negi asked, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
