The reason is that she didn't hold back when she played against Emi in the afternoon match, winning by a straight second and sending Emi off the field without giving her any face.

Huijian was very dissatisfied and asked her master to teach her a lesson, which instead brought out her master's guilt. In the final, he gave her guidance on swordsmanship, which gave her a lot of insights.

So she felt a little embarrassed, but agreed to help Emi prank Morikawa Yu.

“I…” Emi was speechless.

But she is, after all, a girl, and a normal human girl at that.

Girls can never honestly admit their mistakes in front of someone they like.

She instinctively wanted to change the subject.

"Then! Minister! You said you'd take responsibility for me, but what about Maki-sensei?"

"Of course...together!"

Morikawa Yu looked at Maki-sensei, who had already entered the room, and said without hesitation.

"Together!?" Emi asked incredulously.

"I can't accept it!"

"Besides, Maki-sensei wouldn't agree to that, would she?"

"Minister, you're too greedy! Maki-sensei and I will definitely punish you!"

After entering the room and locking the door, Ms. Maki kept watching Morikawa Yu and Emi.

At this moment, she finally shook her head: "See you at Huijian."

"I've already agreed to be Morikawa's bride."

"Huh?" Emi was stunned.

"Has the minister proposed to you, teacher? When? Did you say yes, teacher?"

"You agreed!?"

"Why, Maki-sensei?"

"And becoming a bride... that's just too... too..."

Her face flushed red, she stammered, her words became incoherent, and her eyes reddened.

"So why!?"

Chapter 353 Escaping is shameful, but useful

Morikawa Yu's mood was subtle.

He always knew very well that Emi wouldn't easily accept his philandering.

After all, she is a pure human girl. Although she has the identity of a Yakuza heiress, that is all. She lives in the sunlight and receives the same modern education.

In contrast, Hiigetsu is a great yokai from the Age of Gods.

The world of yokai is simple and straightforward. If they like something, they like it. As long as they are happy, anything is fine, regardless of whether there are other people around.

Although the great fox acts more like a human, it is still a monster.

So after realizing Fei Yue's attitude, she made concessions and stopped interfering in her affairs.

Even Maki-sensei is different from Emi.

Besides being the eldest daughter of the Hojo family, Maki is also a good friend of Ran Kondo and is very familiar with Ryoko, being a junior whom Ryoko cares about.

Ryoko is the goddess of all of Tokyo, the ruler of the night.

Because of this relationship, Ms. Maki knows a lot of secrets and is very familiar with secrets.

She could barely accept her own philandering.

But Emi is different; she's a completely human girl.

What girl can tolerate her partner having ambiguous relationships with other girls, being greedy and wanting them all?

So now we're at a stalemate.

Emi simply refused to accept that she was a womanizer.

I knew I was in the wrong, so I couldn't say much.

He looked at Ms. Maki for help.

Ms. Maki frowned.

She approached Emi, patted her on the shoulder, and whispered, "Emi, don't be willful."

"I'm not being willful!" Emi immediately retorted loudly.

She turned her head away, her eyes growing redder and her nose feeling sore.

Just now, she thought that Ms. Maki was on the same side as her, fighting alongside her against that white-haired monster woman in the department head's house.

However, she suddenly discovered that Ms. Maki had agreed to be with the club president and even said she would become his bride.

She herself was completely oblivious, unaware of anything.

Jealousy, bitterness, and resentment gradually surfaced in her heart. She never thought she would care so much about such things, and the betrayal made her feel flustered.

It must be that white-haired monster woman!

She used sorcery to bewitch the club president and Ms. Maki.

Absolutely!

Emi, emboldened by who-knows-where, glared fiercely at Maki-sensei: "Maki-sensei, you traitor! You...!"

"Alright, stop fooling around, Emi."

Ms. Maki patted Emi on the shoulder, interrupting her: "I don't want to be angry with you."

Emi's voice immediately quieted down.

Ms. Maki wasn't much older than her, only two or three years younger. She was more like a familiar older sister than an elder.

Although she appears cold on the outside but is gentle on the inside, she never lacks the authority of an older sister when it's time to be strict.

Now, upon hearing Maki-sensei's reprimand, she instinctively lowers her head to admit her mistake.

But thinking of Morikawa Yu's words and Maki-sensei's "betrayal," she still didn't want to admit defeat so easily: "Maki-sensei, I wasn't being silly."

"I......"

"You say you're not being unreasonable, but how are you any different from being unreasonable now?"

Ms. Maki's gaze turned slightly cold.

"Emi, our Kendo Club just finished the competition and won the Kui Xing Flag. Everyone is very happy and we are having a celebration feast together."

"You're unhappy because Keiko beat you and didn't give you any face in the afternoon's match, and you're also unhappy because Morikawa didn't teach her a lesson during their match."

"So you wanted to use her to trick Morikawa, but you failed and this is how it turned out."

"That's not important! I... I just wanted to tease the minister. I like the minister too, no matter what he is like, I like him. I just... I just think the minister is too greedy."

Huijian blushed, and there were faint tears in her eyes.

"Love...shouldn't love be a matter between two people?"

"As a result, the minister married his sister's friend, that white-haired monster woman, and you, teacher, tolerated the minister and even said you wanted to become his bride."

"Why did it become like this?"

"Why!?"

Ms. Maki remained silent for a moment.

Emi's words surprised her somewhat, because Emi wasn't usually this frank.

The reason he's in this state now is probably because he's been suppressing his emotions for too long, which is why he's erupting like this today.

I should have given her more guidance and encouragement more often.

"Alright, see you there." Maki-sensei's voice softened a bit.

"Just like you said, a relationship is a matter between two people."

"When two people are together, they are in a relationship and no one is allowed to interfere. They are only with one person."

"So, Huijian, who do you think you can beat in this fight?"

She raised an eyebrow: "Me?"

“That’s true. After all, I’m different from Ms. Hishizuki who’s with Morikawa. It’s just that you and Morikawa’s kendo teacher, although from good families, are still just human.”

"I won't do anything to you, and it's not right for me to do anything to you."

"So you don't acknowledge Miss Feiyue's existence, you only have eyes for me, and you think that beating me is enough, is that right?"

Huijian fell silent and lowered her head.

Ms. Maki's words were direct and sharp, but they also revealed what she was worried about and exposed her thoughts.

She was just a human girl with no one to rely on except for her status as a yakuza heiress.

She simply couldn't face that terrifying, monstrous woman whom no one dared to provoke. The last time she went to the minister's house, the minister looked at her with complete indifference.

She knew very well what that indifference meant.

When Grandpa faced the ruthless crowd of loyal family members at the family meeting, he also had that indifferent attitude, because he could decide the other party's future, even their entire life with just one sentence.

When that woman faced her, she also had the power of life and death, and was even more detached.

After all, the other party's identity is neither human nor an ordinary monster...

So she was terrified and dared not think about how to solve the problem. She simply pretended that the other person did not exist, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand, pretending not to know anything.

As long as no one exposes this, she won't have to face all of this. She'll still be the vice minister, and she'll only need to deal with the teacher.

Yes, that would be fine.

Emi originally thought that way, but Maki-sensei revealed everything.

"Emi." Maki-sensei called softly, her eyes slightly cold, yet still gentle.

She knew exactly what Emi was thinking, and she knew that Emi was running away.

Moreover, this situation has been going on for a long time.

From the school's kendo club to this Kui Xing Qi competition, Emi has always been jealous of herself, acting as if everything would be fine as long as she beats herself.

So she came to "catch him cheating" last night, and even slept with him, carefully guarding against him.

Today was no different; Keiko and Kondo Kaori teamed up to tease Morikawa.

It's both funny and cute.

After all, Emi doesn't have much experience in life and longs for a simple romance.

In her eyes, she, Morikawa, herself, Keiko, and the club members were probably the entirety of her high school life, like a delightful romantic comedy.

Although Ms. Hiizuki is by Morikawa's side, it's best to just ignore her.

Miss Himezuki is powerful and aloof, and doesn't care about her existence. As long as she does this, she can get away with things and continue the pleasant romantic comedy. She'll deal with tomorrow's problems tomorrow.

Escaping is shameful, but it's useful; take it one day at a time.

That was her idea.

But is this really useful?

Chapter 354 Miss Morikawa Doesn't Want to Be Conquered

Ms. Maki doesn't think so.

Because such an easy life will eventually come to an end.

Just like cherry blossoms bloom in spring and wither in summer.

They are now in their final year of high school, and their high school studies will soon be over. Although they may still be together in college, they won't be as close as they are now.

By then, the torrents of time and space will be enough to sever any connection.
