Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki

Stella's face was as red as a boiled crab, her head practically steaming.

"Sorry to bother you, Kurogane-kun."

"I'll take my leave."

Harumura Makoto, momentarily at a loss for words, didn't seem to know what to say or do. He could only silently turn around and prepare to leave.

"No, don't."

"Shizuku, get off me, we have a guest, a guest…"

As if using all his strength, Kurogane Ikki desperately tried to pry off the girl he called Shizuku, shouting loudly.

"Seriously, it's been so long since I've seen my brother, the perfect time to express my feelings, why are there always annoying people around?"

Shizuku declared, sounding genuinely disappointed as she got off Kurogane Ikki.

Harumura Makoto, who had already started to walk away, stopped completely, turning back stiffly like a long-neglected machine.

His calm gaze gradually changed, looking at Kurogane Ikki as if he were a pervert.

"Kurogane-kun, so you have this kind of hobby."

"Sorry, I really disturbed you."

...

Silence. The room, which had been filled with laughter and cheerful voices, was now silent.

Harumura Makoto and Stella sat at the table, neither of them speaking, just sitting there in silence.

A long, long time passed.

Stella finally spoke, her face flushed, with great difficulty:

"Makoto, is Japan really like this?"

"This…"

Harumura Makoto, who instinctively wanted to refute Stella, suddenly remembered what he knew about the Japanese Imperial Family in his past life, and couldn't bring himself to say anything.

"Stella, society is different now."

"Although there are still a few situations like this, we must respect their traditions."

Harumura Makoto answered with some difficulty.

Honestly, he had a very good impression of Kurogane Ikki.

Although they hadn't known each other for very long, from his conversation and interactions, he thought Kurogane Ikki seemed like a good person.

But the fact that he was in a relationship with his own sister was something he really couldn't accept.

So, Harumura Makoto was trying to convince Stella, but also trying to convince himself, not to look at Kurogane Ikki with prejudiced eyes.

"But it's still hard to accept."

"With his own sister, what…"

Stella was completely drained.

Even with Harumura Makoto's delicious food in front of her, she couldn't bring herself to eat.

She felt like her values were being constantly challenged.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

A rhythmic knock sounded suddenly.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

"Forget it, I'll open the door. Stella, don't look at him with prejudice, okay?"

After dozens of knocks, Harumura Makoto sighed and finally couldn't sit still.

"Gulp—"

Stella swallowed hard and nodded distractedly.

"I understand."

Harumura Makoto opened the door, and standing outside were none other than Kurogane Ikki and his sister, Shizuku.

Harumura Makoto took a deep breath, his gaze instantly becoming incredibly gentle.

"Sorry, I disturbed you two earlier."

"Don't worry, as someone from this country, I can understand you, especially families of Blazers like the Kurogane family, there must be strict rules."

"So, you don't need to explain anything, come in and sit down, I made dinner, consider it an apology for earlier, let's eat together."

He bowed slightly, sincerely expressing his apology, and then said everything he had prepared in advance.

This level of apology was only natural.

After all, it was his fault for being rude earlier, opening their door without permission, even if it was out of concern to check on them, it was still wrong.

But to Harumura Makoto's surprise, Kurogane Ikki's face immediately became incredibly indignant, while Kurogane Shizuku's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I told you, it's not like that, this is my sister, Kurogane Shizuku."

"My biological sister, one year younger than me, who would do what you're imagining with their own sister?"

"We are really siblings."

"And what Kurogane family tradition, the Kurogane family doesn't have such a tradition at all, okay?"

Kurogane Ikki explained, sounding somewhat broken.

Kurogane Ikki, who usually endured all kinds of humiliation with a calm and composed attitude, seemed to be on the verge of collapse at this moment.

"Seriously, brother, your friend is quite good."

"My impression of him has changed."

Kurogane Shizuku looked at Harumura Makoto with admiration.

"As I thought, I still can't accept it, he's just a pervert."

Stella, who had been told by Harumura Makoto to look at the pair with a peaceful gaze, finally decided to try.

But in the end, she still overlooked her own excessive innocence.

After all, she had never seen anything so stimulating before, and coming across such a stimulating topic as siblings, her entire mentality was unbalanced, shame and indignation put her on the verge of exploding, completely forgetting Harumura Makoto's words.

Kurogane Shizuku completely ignored Stella, looking at her brother's profile with infatuation, her eyes filled with Ikki's figure, single-mindedly.

"Shameless…"

"As expected of siblings…"

"Completely unacceptable…"

"Doing this violates ethical and moral principles…"

(Maybe Stella is a bit of a pervert.)

His gaze swept subtly across Stella's face.

Honestly, he didn't expect Stella to react so strongly.

Although they had only lived together for nearly two days, he had felt Stella's burning gaze on him countless times.

But now she was acting so innocent, Harumura Makoto knew that she wasn't pretending, so he used the word 'pervert' to describe her.

"Just some insignificant people, daring to interfere in our siblings' affairs, who do you think you are?"

Kurogane Shizuku retorted to Stella with venom, fully displaying her sharp tongue and ability to distort facts.

She was quite unfriendly to Stella.

"And Princess, compared to you, my brother's friend is clearly more sensible."

Kurogane Shizuku pointed at Harumura Makoto with a smug look.

Harumura Makoto's face instantly fell.

"Forget it, forget it, I don't care anymore! Do whatever you want, I'm going out for some air."

Feeling betrayed and relentlessly retorted by Kurogane Shizuku, Stella, not knowing what to say, had a sense of self-abandonment.

"Seriously, I've already said it."

"Shizuku and I really aren't in the relationship you're imagining, why don't you want to believe us?"

"Why is this happening!"

"What happened in these past few years."

Kurogane Ikki seemed to be well aware of how pale and weak his words were, muttering to himself.

Harumura Makoto also looked helplessly at the dishes on the table.

"Seriously, brother, why do you always let these worldly concepts bind you?"

"I love you so deeply."

Kurogane Shizuku tirelessly instilled her ideas and beliefs into Kurogane Ikki.

The two siblings in front of the table, whose brains weren't quite right, opened the door, saying they were going out for some air, but were actually just standing on the balcony in the hallway, occasionally looking back inside, the Second Princess.

Harumura Makoto suddenly felt like his head was about to explode, he took a deep breath.

"In that case, how about going out for some sword practice?"

"I think that should calm you down, Kurogane-kun."

"That's true."

Kurogane Ikki stood up directly, his originally shaken and flustered appearance seemed to have become much firmer.

"It's also a way to fulfill this morning's promise."

Chapter 068 The Born Swordsman and the Alliance of Offense and Defense

"Raise your left shoulder four centimeters."

Snow-white sword light intertwined, scattering a large number of sparks at the intersection of the blades.

"Got it!"

Harumura Makoto's wrist flicked, and the black blade instantly rose upwards, drawing an eerie blood moon-like trajectory in the air.

"Clang—"

"Your stance is collapsing, you can't exert the strength of your whole body like that."

Kurogane Ikki casually blocked Harumura Makoto's sword, saying calmly.

On the training ground behind the dormitory building, Harumura Makoto and Kurogane Ikki were practicing swordsmanship.

However, it was more of a one-sided instruction from Kurogane Ikki to Harumura Makoto.

After all, Harumura Makoto was completely ignorant of swordsmanship.

He hadn't used his ability yet, how could he compete with Kurogane Ikki, who was clearly skilled in swordsmanship.

However, the more he fought, the more surprised he was.

"Ikki, if you weren't born in this world, your talent should have blossomed."

He didn't understand swordsmanship at all, and only started training yesterday.

But he could clearly feel the difference in the way Shizuku Namiya and Kurogane Ikki taught him.

Shizuku Namiya was more like cramming, telling him everything and then forcing him to integrate these things into combat.

But Kurogane Ikki was completely different.

It was as if he had completely mastered his movements.

No, that's not right.

It should be said that Kurogane Ikki completely understood him.

So Kurogane Ikki could point out the smallest details in the details, and every time he listened to Kurogane Ikki's guidance and made changes, he could deeply feel his own evolution.
