"Brother Qingye, come here for a second!"
Suddenly, Kyoko, sitting at the next table, waved at Aoba. (Read exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
The girl was somewhat impatient.
Her delicate face had a slight blush, and she seemed to show no signs of inferiority.
Indeed, youth treats everyone differently.
Aoba inwardly mocked himself.
He walked up to Kyoko with a peaceful smile on his face.
"Brother Aoba! I heard that Saeko-nee's school is going to hold a cultural festival. Let's go and support Saeko-nee together!"
"Yeah, yeah! Just thinking about Saeko challenging the kendo club and reaching the pinnacle of Toyonosaki kendo makes me so excited!!"
Akemi chimed in.
The two girls' eyes sparkled.
Saeko Busujima also had a smile on her lips, her long, narrow purple eyes looking at Aoba.
She did not speak.
But those eyes automatically filled with adoration and expectation.
Long, slender fingers were crossed.
Despite having practiced kendo since childhood, her hands showed no signs of calluses and remained smooth and white.
She really wanted to have a showdown with the store manager.
What happened that night made her realize...
Perhaps Aoba is someone like her.
The standard-issue katana hanging on the wall emitted a faint, fishy smell that she could detect.
That was the smell of blood.
And it's very rich!
Even if the blood on the blade is wiped clean, karmic residue will still remain.
This is also what makes the Busujima-ryu swordsmanship special.
The katana's blood-drinking technique will never last more than two days.
Saeko Busujima's eyes burned with intensity.
Compared to those childish swordplay matches, what she longed for even more was a life-or-death battle!
"me?"
Aoba smiled and looked at Kyoko and Akemi, then nodded.
"I will go to the cultural festival at Toyonosaki Academy."
Because three people have already extended invitations to him.
Mrs. Yuihama, Kasumigaoka, and Shizuka Hiratsuka all make sure to keep their promises to others.
This is a life lesson that Aoba learned from her master.
"Huh? 903!"
Kyoko I; Suzusaki^Death (Seven)?Waiwu Liu《Read-yi? She seemed quite surprised by Aoba's unhesitating agreement, her eyes widening in a somewhat comical way:
"Brother Qingye, won't you consider it?"
"Consider? No need~"
"Eh~! I knew it! I knew Aoba-nii was the best!"
Watching the two perform their back-and-forth banter, Mingmei's face immediately showed a puzzled expression. She asked, confused:
"Brother Qingye, has someone already invited you?"
"Yeah, I'll definitely be going to Toyonosaki sometime."
Aoba nodded, his eyes inexplicably meeting Saeko Busujima's.
He seemed to be able to detect a strange possessiveness in the girl's eyes.
But then I realized I was overthinking it.
The three biggest illusions in life: she likes me.
Aoba simply smiled at Saeko Busujima, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.
The meat is almost ready to be roasted in the oven.
As he brought the roast meat out to Fafnir, a petite figure appeared outside the shop.
wow-
The shop door was slowly pulled open.
Aoba's attention also shifted to the new guests.
The person who opened the door was not a regular customer whom Aoba recognized.
But a new guest.
The number of new customers seems a bit too many these days.
Aoba's mind was filled with random thoughts.
However, he did not forget to greet the new guests.
"welcome."
The boy smiled gently.
The girl who pushed open the door was petite, but had an exceptionally good figure.
The blue and white outfit gave the girl a touch of melancholy brightness.
A blue ribbon encircled the ball that was powerful enough to rival Lucoa.
And equally concerning...
And then there's the girl's unexpected twin ponytails.
What would you like to eat?
Seeing the slight confusion in the girl's eyes, Qingye smiled and asked.

"Brother Qingye~ We're leaving now!"
Even though it was midnight in Tokyo, Kyoko still waved to Aoba with great energy, her face showing anticipation.
Akemi, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore.
He covered his face and pulled back the overly enthusiastic Kyoko:
"Kyoko-nee, you're so enthusiastic! Don't forget, you're the big sister of the girls' high school now!"
Although Akemi said that, she still bowed politely to Aoba.
"Brother Qingye, thank you for your hospitality."
"You are welcome."
Aoba escorted the three of them to the shop entrance.
Kyoko and Akemi walked ahead, while Busujima, with his purple hair, stayed behind.
"Ms. Busujima, is there anything else?"
Aoba tilted her head and asked.
The girl's height is exceptional, even among men of the same age.
The line of sight between the two was no more than three fingers' width apart.
Despite having only met once, Aoba seemed to have already occupied a large place in the girl's heart.
Her heart wasn't too big, nor too small.
It has limited capacity.
Before that night, there were only two things—kendo and family.
But since that night, it seems that there has been another person's shadow.
She stood in the night wind, her eyes filled with a myriad of emotions.
"Mr. Store Manager."
"Ok?"
"The food tonight is delicious."
"Really?! It's so great to have your approval!"
Aoba felt happy as always.
For chefs, customer reviews are a simple form of honor.
"Well... goodbye."
"Yes, Miss Busujima, take care."
The two stood at the door saying goodbye.
The night breeze whispers softly.
Her purple hair bloomed like cherry blossoms at midnight.
"Next time, call me Saeko."
The girl's dashing voice disappeared into the night sky.
