Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

Anyway, something disrupted the rhythm of her steps.

There was almost no time for Ezaki Suguha to think. She slipped and fell heavily towards Sawayama Haruno.

The latter also subconsciously hugged her.

boom--

The two men fell hard onto the wooden floor of the venue.

"Haruno, Suguha, are you okay?"

Mine Shiori screamed in surprise and hurried forward to help the two up.

But looking at the two people lying in a heap and wearing heavy protective gear, she obviously had no idea where to start.

"Suguha, are you okay?"

After recovering from his shock, Sawayama Haruno immediately looked down at the girl who had fallen in his arms.

He made the firecracker sword almost as a reflex just now. When he came to his senses again, all he could see was Ezaki Suguha falling towards him.

At this moment, the other party still didn't speak.

The pretty face hidden under the mask makes it difficult to see the expression.

"Knowing"

"what?"

"I should have known not to wear it earlier."

"."

Sawayama Haruno tried to sit up straight, but Ezaki Suguha stubbornly pressed on him, forcing him to support her by hugging her.

Fortunately, other kendo members who were watching nearby also ran up and took off all their protective gear. After a thorough inspection, everyone concluded that Sawayama Haruno and Esaki Suguha were probably not seriously injured.

But the looks from other people, as if they had seen a ghost, could not be shaken off.

It seems normal too.

After all, Sawayama Haruno was able to crush the bamboo sword even while wearing those hand protection gloves.

This can no longer be explained by supernatural power. If this fell on a person, wouldn't it be broken into pieces?

How can this guy’s girlfriend bear it!

“It would be great if everything is alright.”

Without noticing the looks from others, Mine Shiori immediately breathed a sigh of relief after completing the examination.

"Master, I'm sorry to have made you worried."

While rubbing her wrist which had already gone numb, Ezaki Suguha apologized to her with some regret.

What she got in return was the petite girl waving her hands repeatedly.

Rather than apologizing, she was actually more worried about Sawayama Haruno's situation.

"I'm fine, too."

Sawayama Haruno noticed the gazes of the two of them, and after thinking about it, he took the initiative to show his right palm.

"There are no scars and no broken skin. I guess it's luck," he said with a smile.

Not only is the skin not broken, but the fingers are very long and look very white and shiny. They don't look like boys' hands at all. Are these the hands that only writers can have?

I really want to lick it. Mine Shiori was daydreaming.

"Classmate, have you never practiced kendo before?"

"Are you interested in learning?!"

"That's amazing! How did you develop such strong strength?"

Finally, some of the girls watching couldn't hold back any longer and started talking to Sawayama Haruno.

The content is nothing more than wanting to know how he did it just now.

Of course, this also includes some coaches from the exchange competition. They saw that Sawayama Haruno was a layman but had great potential, so they all extended olive branches to him.

This scene quickly made Ezaki Suguha a little unhappy.

She was still trying to savor the feeling of being "suppressed" by Sawayama Haruno, but this group of people took the lead and surrounded Sawayama Haruno. How could she ask them how they did it?

Fortunately, at this moment, another person appeared in the field and broke the atmosphere.

"Goto-senpai, please spare this young man."

The man in the suit had returned to the field at some point and smiled at one of the coaches who was trying to persuade Sawayama Haruno to practice kendo. "This guy isn't really interested in kendo. He only came here for my sister's match."

"Ah, Coach Ezaki."

The coach noticed him and immediately put on a regretful expression. "I see, that's what I've noticed. I was thinking of trying to poach him while you were gone."

"This is too much."

Naoto Ezaki looked at everyone with a smile.

Under his gaze, the others looked at each other for a while, complimented Sawayama Haruno a few words, and then dispersed on their own initiative.

Seeing his brother appear, Ezaki Suguha couldn't help but look at the two bamboo swords broken into two pieces on the ground, feeling indescribably complicated.

Mine Shiori, who was standing by, had already recognized the other person's identity, so she bowed slightly and greeted him, "Mr. Ezaki."

"Don't be so polite. Oh, forget it. I've told you several times but you won't listen."

Naoto Ezaki scratched his right eyebrow and smiled at Haruno Sawayama. "My name is Naoto Ezaki. I just chatted with you in the audience for a long time but never introduced myself. Although I don't know much about kendo, your physical fitness is really amazing."

"I just keep exercising on a regular basis."

Haruno Sawayama answered subconsciously.

He was a little surprised. Was the other person actually Ezaki Suguha's brother?

No wonder as soon as Suguha Ezaki appeared, he started to introduce the other party and gave him some kendo knowledge so enthusiastically. After Suguha left, he ran out of the hall as if nothing had happened.

It turned out to be family.

Huh?

Sawayama Haruno suddenly realized that Ezaki Suguha should not have a brother, right?

Didn’t she once say that her father and mother only dated for two hours before running away abroad? If that was the case, then where did this man in a suit come from?

Before he could express his doubts, Ezaki Suguha beside him suddenly took two steps forward.

"Let's go eat?"

She stared straight at Zeshan Haruno and repeated, "Let's go eat. I'm hungry."

"Oh, that's fine."

Sawayama Haruno first looked at Mine Shiori, then at the torn glove on his hand, and said hesitantly, "By the way, I have to pay for this, right?"

"Don't worry, these things are sponsored by the Jiangqi family."

Naoto Ezaki, who was standing by, kindly explained, "And it's not very valuable. After all, whether it's a bamboo sword or protective gear, you can buy it anywhere."

"Even if you need compensation, I will pay for you." Suguha Ezaki added.

Seeing that both of them said so, Zeshan Haruno thought about it and decided not to make a fuss about it.

Chapter 109: Arm Wrestling with Suguha

If you want to go out to eat, you must first change your protective gear and hakama.

Shiori Mine and Naoto Esaki did not follow them to the lounge, but chose to wait outside. This made Haruno Sawayama realize something belatedly when he walked to the door of the lounge.

"Suguha, where is the restroom?"

He looked at Ezaki Suguha who was standing at the door and about to open it and asked, "Should I get my clothes and change over there?"

"The restroom should be disinfected at this time."

Jiang Qizhiye said calmly, "Because there are many people today."

".You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"I have no reason to lie to you."

After pushing the door open, Ezaki Suguha glanced back at Sawayama Haruno and added, "And I don't need to do that. You still have your inner clothes on, right? So what are you worried about?"

"Is there something wrong with your brain circuit?"

Sawayama Haruno stared at her blankly.

For a moment he felt that what the other party said was actually quite right.

After all, she was still wearing underwear. Just changing clothes wouldn't be a big deal, right? Otherwise, wouldn't everyone who went to the pool be molested? No. Molesting others proactively?

All in all, it's pretty much the same stuff. Since you still have something more "strictly guarded" with you, you don't have to worry about being seen, right?

Sawayama Haruno felt that this seemed to be correct.

But reason soon prevailed again.

"Forget it, you change first. I'll go in and change after you're done." He coughed lightly and said, "Even if you're dressed properly, you still have to be careful."

".All right."

After thinking about it, Ezaki Suguha agreed.

However, she did not close the door, but looked at Sawayama Haruno thoughtfully.

"what happened?"

Noticing the other party's unreserved gaze, Sawayama Haruno became a little puzzled.

Could this guy still be thinking about changing clothes with her? She wasn't that kind of person, so if that was the case, then what was she hesitating about?

“There is one thing I care about.”

Ezaki Suguha looked down at his palm and asked uncertainly, "How strong is Haruno?"

"strength?"

Seeing that this was what she was thinking, Zeshan Haruno quickly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I don't know the exact amount, but at least it should be pretty powerful if I use my full strength, right?"

He was not lying about this. He had not conducted any substantial tests on his physical condition since he received the reward from the system.

But since the "Skill Improvement" ability is so strong, the "Physical Fitness Improvement", which is a passive skill that always exists, should be just as powerful.

It's just that he didn't put much effort into exploring it.

"Want to give it a try?"

Ezaki Suguha looked at him and suddenly said.

"Try and see how strong you are."

"try?"

Zeshan Haruno pondered for a moment and said, "Is there a machine here to test strength? But that's fine, how do you test it?"

"No need for that."

Ezaki Suguha took two steps back to make way for Sawayama Haruno to enter the lounge, and explained, "Just try it with arm wrestling."

".Me, a boy, arm wrestling with a girl?"

"Are you scared?"

"What a low-level provocation."

Sawayama Haruno smiled helplessly and said, "I was worried that I might hurt you if I didn't control my strength well."

"I'm not that easily hurt."

Seeing this, Jiang Qizhiye also sighed and explained: "After all, I have been practicing kendo since I was a child. How could arm wrestling hurt me? I am not like other thin girls."

"That seems to be true."

Sawayama Haruno thought for a moment and said, "Let's give it a try, but we can't compete for too long. After all, there are two people waiting for us outside."
