I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

Leaving aside the bizarre yet effortless sword techniques and the inhuman reaction speed... according to the most skilled coach in the gym, who is referred to as a master by other instructors:

"His strength is no less than mine... I'm at most evenly matched with him."

Judging from his reaction of saying this but not daring to challenge the boy to a duel, it's likely that the other party could easily beat all the coaches in the gym to a pulp in a one-on-one fight.

Nevertheless, a handsome young man who appeared out of nowhere refused to believe in the power dynamics. Relying on his status as the captain of a high school kendo club and wanting to show off in front of the chestnut-haired beauty, he stepped forward and challenged her, speaking with considerable arrogance and confidence.

...and then he was hung up and beaten.

It was similar to an adult teasing a child. At first, you could see the two of them seriously sparring with kendo, but later, the boy seemed to find it too boring. He seamlessly switched between two swords and then threw them away to fight bare-handed, completely manipulating the handsome young man. The boy's body was never even touched by the other.

The scene was so cruel that when the handsome young man, unable to bear the humiliation, threw down his sword and ran away crying, almost everyone looked at the boy and the chestnut-haired beauty who could fight him to a standstill with condemnation and fear.

Are all Japanese high school students nowadays monsters?

So before causing a bigger disturbance, Asuna Yuuki dragged Yuu Tenkuji out, feeling a mix of helplessness, amusement, and inexplicable excitement about what had just happened.

"Honestly, if he's so conspicuous, it's impossible to have fun. I could just defeat him normally with a couple of swift sword strikes..."

"He insisted on coming up to deliver it himself, there was nothing I could do."

"I didn't say you did anything wrong, but we're on a date~ It's better to keep it low-key, otherwise we won't be able to enjoy ourselves properly if others are watching."

She playfully shook their clasped hands, then suddenly remembered something. A cute blush rose to her cheeks, and she whispered shyly, "And... and... next time you can't hug each other so openly, it's a little embarrassing..."

"Why are you telling me this?" Tenkuji Yu looked innocent and explained her innocence, "You were the one who rushed towards me, and you were the one who hugged me from behind. I only caught you because I didn't want you to get hurt... If you feel ashamed, Asuna, you should control your impulse to throw yourself into my arms."

He spoke with righteous indignation and sincerity, and what he said was absolutely correct.

However, please remember, unless you are really close to him, never speak like that.

I will be single.

"..."

She stared at him silently, making sure he had no intention of taking back his words or repenting, then Yuuki Asuna pouted and snorted loudly before suddenly hugging his arm tightly.

"Buy me coffee!"

Faced with the capriciousness of the Yuuki family's eldest daughter, Tenkuji Yu could only shrug helplessly: "Alright, alright. Look, there's a vending machine over there..."

"Yu! Jun!" The girl's tone was extremely dangerous, and the light in her eyes was like a slender sword, piercing his thick skin.

Tenkuji Yu chuckled, "Just kidding, let's go to a coffee shop..."

"Hmph, I also want cake and black tea—of course, it's on you!"

So, do you want coffee or black tea?

"Can't I drink both?"

"Okay, okay, my girlfriend is the most important."

Upon hearing this nickname, Asuna, who had been feigning anger, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Her small head rested on his shoulder, her face already overflowing with happiness, like the warm afternoon sun shining on the two of them.

……

After that, the two went to video game arcades, bookstores, opticians, and other places.

Yu Tenkuji caught her a large Squirtle plush toy, and watching her stroke the turtle's head and say "So cute" and "So cuddly," he smiled meaningfully without saying a word.

Asuna Yuuki bought him a pair of glasses with non-prescription lenses and thick black frames. They gave him a literary air, but the stiff style also concealed his handsomeness, making him look rather unremarkable.

"Hmm, that way I don't have to worry about anyone stealing my boyfriend!" She held his head, looked him over from left to right, and said this with satisfaction.

Looking at her glossy lips, so close to his own and looking deliciously coated with lipstick, Tenkuji Yu remained expressionless, but really wanted to say something sarcastic:

"If someone really wants to take it from you, a pair of glasses won't be enough to hide it, okay?"

For example, her own younger sister, Yuihama, and Haruno who hasn't lost her memory... Wearing glasses is just adding a new CG for them, how could it possibly detract from their appeal?

However, he only thought about it; he wasn't stupid enough to actually say it.

Time flies, and before you know it, it's time for Asuna Yuuki's curfew.

The dazzling sunset cast a curtain of light through the gaps between the buildings, eventually covering the ground in a golden glow, as if autumn maple leaves had prematurely carpeted the entire street.

Around six o'clock in the evening, the hoarse cawing of crows awakened the dusk. The shouts of vendors selling roasted sweet potatoes echoed throughout the streets and alleys.

On the street leading to the upscale residential area, two shadows stretched out side by side, as if they were about to connect directly with the distant horizon, gradually merging into the gentle, twilight dome.

"Service Club... What a strange club name."

"Indeed, I have absolutely no idea what the person who chose this name was thinking."

"However, the club is full of girls..."

"I'm not like that."

"...Yu-kun, please don't pretend to be stupid. I won't make any sarcastic remarks."

"Tsk, okay... I know what you're worried about. But don't worry, I'm not interested in tablets or idiots, and I won't fall for anyone else."

"I-I'm not worried about that at all! As for whether I believe Yu-kun, of course I do!"

"Come on, you clearly look like you wish I would transfer to an all-boys high school right now."

"No way!"

The peaceful and warm sounds of conversation, as gentle as the twilight, spread all the way to the front door of the Yuuki family's house.

Chapter 86 For Asuna's sake, let's use the Flame Fist on Sugou!

Tenkuji Yu released her hand and said, "I'm going back now."

"Yes, thank you for bringing me back." Asuna said with a smile, looked around, and then suddenly stood on tiptoe and closed her eyes shyly.

Tenkuji Yushin understood, gently placing his left hand on her back, and leaning in to savor the delicate lips he had longed for all day.

With the addition of lipstick, the girl's lips became even more alluring than usual, making one want to bite and suck them more deeply, as if teasing a jelly, with delicate, watery sounds echoing between her lips and teeth.

"Ugh...mmm, hiss, ha...ugh..."

They hadn't been entwined for long, but the weight felt as if it were completely filling their hearts, and their whole bodies were burning hot.

The cool evening breeze finally managed to squeeze between the two of them.

Panting heavily with his mouth slightly open and his eyes filled with longing, Asuna Yuuki looked at him, whose breathing was also unsteady, and gave him a gentle, slightly dazed smile.

"See you tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow."

Tenkuji Yu blinked, her eyes clearing as she released her hot, soft body.

"Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: Justice Execution (Status)."

...What kind of reward is this?

With these questions swirling in her mind, Tenkuji Yu turned to leave.

But after walking only a few steps, I heard an unpleasant sound from the alley entrance.

"Miss Asuna? What a coincidence, are you here to greet me?"

After swiping open the system page, Yuu Tenkuji stopped in her tracks.

Nobuyuki Sugo, carrying a fruit gift box, walked over and passed by him without looking at him, then greeted Asuna Yuuki warmly.

"Mr. Sugo..."

Asuna paused for a moment, instinctively trying to tidy up her slightly disheveled appearance, but remembering how this guy had ignored Tenkuji Yu earlier and greeted her directly, annoyance welled up inside her. She simply put her hands behind her back, making no attempt to hide her displeasure, and replied coldly but politely:

"You've misunderstood. I had no idea you were coming. I just finished a date with my lover and was out. I'm heading home now."

“…Oh, I see.” With a slight twitch of his face, Nobuyuki Sugo responded with an emotionless utterance.

His long, cold eyes swept over Asuna's pretty face flushed red, and her delicate, moist red lips. He then glanced at Tenkuji Yu, who had no intention of cleaning up the "evidence." His fists clenched slightly at his sides, and he slowly forced a stiff smile.

"You two are really enjoying your youth."

"...So what?"

As if sensing some kind of malice, Asuna frowned, a strange wariness brewing in her eyes.

Nobuyuki Sugo spread his hands, quickly composed himself in a few seconds, and said with a wry smile, "Miss Asuna, there's no need to be hostile towards me, is there? I'm your sworn brother, after all. Even Lady Yuuki hasn't objected to your relationship, so I'm not going to be so tactless as to shamelessly interfere between you two."

These words caused Yuu Tenkuji and Asuna Yuuki to exchange surprised glances.

Nobuyuki Sugo shook his head and sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, this is such a huge misunderstanding..."

He tapped the middle of his glasses with his middle finger and said frankly, "I do have feelings for Miss Asuna, maybe even a few years before that little brother Tenkuji over there. I was the one who suggested the arranged marriage to Mrs. Yuuki..."

"Unfortunately, I've been too busy with work to properly cultivate my relationship with Asuna-san. Now that I'm only thinking about starting over, I'm already too far behind a certain young man."

"This can be described as reaping what you sow, or it can be described as being arrogant... After all, as a girl attending an all-girls academy, I am the most familiar male outsider since childhood, which made me arrogantly think that I had the advantage of being close to the water and thus forgot to give Miss Asuna what she craved at her age."

"I am well aware of my mistake. I am truly sorry, Ms. Asuna."

As he spoke in a gentle tone and with a sincere smile, Asuna's cold expression gradually softened, and her hostile and wary posture returned to normal, as if she had confirmed that the young man in front of her was not an enemy, but simply an unfamiliar adopted brother.

"You flatter me..." she replied politely.

Yuu Tenkuji, standing to the side, couldn't help but sneer.

Asuna might not be able to tell, but in his eyes, Sugo Nobuyuki's acting was even worse than Gian's singing.

Beneath that hypocritical mask, the deep malice was crystal clear, like magnifying the compound eyes of a fly in front of someone with trypophobia, making them feel nauseous and want to vomit.

No matter how kind his tone was, Yuu Tenkuji could accurately analyze what he really wanted to say—

"You mere latecomer, if I hadn't been careless and not acted first, how could you have possibly fooled this naive young lady?"

That's right, it's Sugo...

He was not only implying to himself that Asuna was already his for the taking, but also showing disdain for himself as a "newcomer".

"hehe."

Tenkuji Yu twisted his neck and quietly brought up the system panel.

He hadn't felt this way in a long time, that just seeing someone's face made his hands itch, and that he really wanted to throw a few fiery punches at them.
