One hundred ways to resist the Bandoli women

She was a girl with red hair and blue eyes. She was in very good condition and after using high-quality cosmetics, her appearance was impeccable.

“…You won’t be able to see Maria-nee.”

Yuanshou closed the notebook, and there was no emotion in his blue eyes.

"Of course I can't see it."

The victorious man responded tit for tat.

Her name is Ushiromiya Enju.

You can tell from the last name.

She and Shengren are blood relatives.

They are both people with Ushiromiya's blood and the name of Ushiromiya.

The Maria they just mentioned is Ushiromiya Maria, three years older than Enju and four years older than Katsuto.

However...her age will always be fixed at Cirno's age.

"How can a living person see a dead person?"

The two pairs of eyes just stared at each other.

It was a cold feeling that was completely different from the warm blood flowing in their veins.

"You should forget it, right? You should look away and stop looking at it. They are all dead. Your parents, your brother Battler..."

"Are you still thinking of practicing some kind of resurrection magic to revive them? Come on, this is too ugly."

"What's wrong with clinging to the good old days? Why should I forget the memories I had with my dad, mom, and brother?"

Yuan Shou's tone could not help but rise—

And Katsuto raised his voice accordingly.

"Because they've affected your life right now! This is wrong!"

"Then is it right to say that 'the past self is dead' like you did, and to deceive yourself by saying that your heart doesn't hurt?"

"At least it's more correct than you!"

"..."

"..."

It was like the referee in the ring pulling two out-of-control boxers apart and retreating to the edge of the ring, where the two stopped arguing for the time being.

That’s right, this is no longer a conversation.

It's a quarrel.

Moreover, it can be seen that such quarrels have occurred more than once in the past.

"We just don't get along."

Forcing himself to calm down, Shengren said with an unknown mood.

"Yeah, so just leave me alone, fake one."

"That's exactly what I meant."

Shengren left Yuanshou in the bushes and returned to the teaching building with Wakaba Mutsu.

"…I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Shengren broke the atmosphere.

"She is my blood."

"..."

"She and I have never gotten along. Her parents, brother, and all her other blood relatives except for us died in the Rokukenjima tragedy more than ten years ago."

The so-called Rokukenjima Massacre refers to the tenth year, specifically October 10th, eleven years ago.

The head of the Ushiromiya family, Kinzo, and his four children and their respective families were discussing matters on Rokkenjima, but were trapped on the island due to a sudden typhoon and completely lost contact with the outside world.

After October 10th eleven years ago, the weather cleared up, but Rokkenjima was razed to the ground by an inexplicable explosion. 5 people including servants and housekeepers died, leaving only the eldest daughter Huiyu alive.

No one knows what happened during the missing two days from October 10th to 4th eleven years ago, and the only survivor, Huiyu, has always avoided talking about it.

This became a hot topic at the time, and people are still studying it today. But eleven years later, the topic has long since cooled down.

However, Shengren is not interested in this.

Chapter 15 Memories of Blood (26/)

Shengren talked to himself, and Ruoye Mu listened quietly.

"She was unwilling to accept the fact that they were gone and refused to move on... She also said that I was a fake because the spelling of her brother's name and mine were different. I would argue with her every time."

Battler Ushiromiya, written as Battler, is the phonetic pronunciation of the English word "battler".

Ushiromiya Katsuto, written as Katsuto, is the phonetic reading of the Greek word "glory".

"..."

"I've always felt that this wasn't right. I couldn't stand her attitude..."

"Why? He is clearly the last blood relative in this world."

Obviously, it was for her that I came to the Moon Forest.

I obviously didn't want to quarrel with her.

I clearly wanted to talk to her properly.

I clearly wanted to get along well with her...

Why did things turn out like this?

I clearly told Xiangzi that he should value unique and irreplaceable people...but he ended up having such a bad relationship with his own blood relatives.

Ruoye Mu remained silent.

But that's what Katsuto needs right now.

Just listen silently, that's enough.

"Correct."

Finally, Shengren came to a conclusion.

"It was my fault."

Just like Toyokawa Shoko quitting the team, there was nothing wrong with this matter, but the method was inappropriate...

Is that right?

no.

It’s not such a simple question.

A winner rarely feels that he has done anything wrong—

He didn't know whether Shirogane Rinko gave up the piano, but Ichigaya Yusaki gave up for a while.

It's definitely not because of him that Yusaki Ichigaya gave up the piano, it must be because of his studies.

Let's assume she is.

If she gave up the piano because of Shengren's talent, Shengren would admit that it was because of him.

However, he would not admit that he had done anything wrong.

For example, there is a cursed king from thousands of years ago who recently awakened.

After he woke up, he first fought a disaster-level curse, and then fought against an exceptional shikigami - the aftermath of the battle resulted in the deaths of at least several thousand people.

Do you want him to admit that he killed thousands of people and bear this blood debt?

Isn’t this too unreasonable?

In the (hypothetical) incident where Ichigaya Yusaki gave up the piano because of me, I never thought of asking her to give up the piano.

From a legal perspective, the consistency between subjective and objective factors is also considered extremely important, right?

But this one is different.

Winning is intentional, from the heart -

Talking to Yuanshou using harsh language.

"…Have I ever told you, Mu? My last name was Hirasawa, and I lived in a place called Sakuragaoka. I have two sisters who I'm very close to."

There should be some.

Never mind. It doesn’t matter.

"After my bloodline was revealed, the head of the Ushiromiya family, Ushiromiya Ei, the only survivor of the accident more than ten years ago, took away my custody."

I heard that Yuanshou had the same problem at that time. Because Yuanshou's maternal family had some power, the case even went to court.

Ushiromiya Ewa is a very strong person.

I don’t know if she was strong before, or if she became strong after her husband and son died in an accident more than ten years ago along with Yuanshou’s parents, brother, and others.

On the day of custody transfer.

"You will have to shoulder all of the history and glory of the Ushiromiya family - and in order to become the next head worthy of shouldering these, you must dedicate the rest of your life to the Ushiromiya family."

Ushiromiya Eha said this to him.

It doesn't matter.

The key is.

"Hirazawa, Yamabuki, these shady people, don't associate with them."

He said this with such finality.

Shengren was trained in seclusion for half a year.

Katsutto and Enju were both victims of Ushiromiya Ewa's overly strict elite education.

Shengren's spirit and talents, as well as the more mature mind he was raised with, made him in a much better state than Yuanshou was at that time.

He wanted to get along well with Huiyu—as a family, as blood relatives.

But I still can’t bear the burden on my heart.

Finally, when it was announced that he would be sent to Tsuki no Mori Girls' High School and become the first male student there, Katsutomo chose to resist.

Just like Yuanshou ten years ago.

Enju wanted to escape back to her grandfather's house, but she was powerless and was caught by Ushiromiya Ewa's bodyguards.

Shengren is not so incompetent and useless—

Considering that he must not cause trouble for the Hirasawa and Yamabuki families, he was considering whether to stay at Tsugumi Hazawa's house or hide at Manabe Kazu's house for a while.

And before that.

The news that Huiyu fell ill reached her ears.

Katsuto couldn't tell whether the news was true or not, and this was most likely a trap to lure him back.

However, it is impossible for Shengren not to go back.

He didn't think he could keep running away.

Zhuangzi once said: There are three swords in the world.

Although the winner holds the "sword of a common man" and can "cut off the neck and lungs", in the end he is "no different from a fighting cock."

They are no match for the "swords of princes" who hold financial resources and power and are as powerful as thunder.

After all, his resistance was also for the purpose of negotiating with Huiyu.

...He also didn't want to completely break up with his only remaining blood relative.
