Tokyo, school activity building.
On the weekend, the school was still quite lively, mainly because many students were participating in club activities—especially the very famous Kendo Club. Crowds could be seen everywhere, packed layer upon layer, both inside and outside.
Cheers erupted continuously.
Inside the dojo, two girls in kendo uniforms were fiercely sparring, displaying extremely high-level kendo skills. This was far beyond the level of ordinary high school students—truly eye-opening and impressive to watch.
Before long, one of the girls with a ponytail began to fall behind and was ultimately defeated.
"Tosaka, you're getting stronger and stronger," she said as she removed her headgear. She was Miyajima Sakura, the president of the Kendo Club.
She often practiced with her close friend and knew Tosaka Fuyuka's strength well, so she wasn't surprised by her defeat. She had long grown used to it.
"Sakura, you've improved a lot too," Tosaka Fuyuka said as she took off her mask, shaking her high ponytail while praising her opponent.
"It's a pity we still haven't been able to recruit that junior into the Kendo Club," Miyajima Sakura sighed. Although Tosaka's strength had already surpassed the level of high school students, compared to that person, one could only truly understand the difference after experiencing it firsthand—it was an entirely different level of existence.
Tosaka Fuyuka understood what her friend meant. She also knew that Kazuma didn't actually understand kendo at all—he relied entirely on that mysterious electric light sword. The beautiful Fuyuka-senpai didn't expose the truth and simply smiled. "Next time, I'll bring him to visit the Kendo Club. But whether he's willing to join or not—that won't be up to me."
"No problem! I'm confident I can persuade him! Tosaka—I'm counting on you."
Listening to the Kendo Club members praising Tosaka Fuyuka, Saki Yoshida felt genuinely happy as well. She stepped forward with a water bottle. "Fuyuka-senpai—"
These days, Saki Yoshida had been staying at Tosaka Fuyuka's house. Occasionally, she would also stay at Kanna Hiiragi's or Akane Nanao's homes. Everyone already knew about Saki's past experiences, and now that she was essentially homeless, the girls naturally didn't mind helping her. After all, they were all insiders.
This actually brought them even closer. Just like now—they had come to the school's Kendo Club together with Fuyuka-senpai over the weekend.
"Saki, what do you think?" Tosaka Fuyuka took the water bottle. "Are you interested in kendo?"
"Kendo?" Saki Yoshida looked a bit embarrassed. "I've never tried it before. But… if Fuyuka-senpai is willing to teach me, I'd like to give it a try."
The intense match just now had truly sparked a bit of admiration in her heart.
More importantly, Fuyuka-senpai's cool and powerful presence made Saki envious. If she could become someone like Fuyuka-senpai, she would definitely be able to help Kazuma.
"There's a dojo at home, so it's convenient to practice. I'll make time to teach you, Saki. Even though you have Kazuma's protection, you still need to grow stronger yourself," Tosaka Fuyuka said with a smile as she changed back into her usual clothes in the locker room, transforming from a cool kendo girl back into the elegant and beautiful Fuyuka-senpai.
"Let's go—we're heading to the Old School Building."
"Eh?"
As they walked out of the teaching building, Saki Yoshida asked, "But Kazuma isn't here, right? Didn't he go to Kyushu?"
Kazuma had already informed everyone about this through the LINE chat app.
"Saki, if you don't want to go, you can head home first," Tosaka Fuyuka said with a smile.
"I never said I didn't want to go! Of course I want to go too!"
Tosaka Fuyuka simply missed him a little. Even though it had only been two days over the weekend, the longing for her beloved made it feel like years. She untied her ponytail, letting her long hair flow freely—she only tied it up during training.
As they entered the Old School Building area, she suddenly noticed someone else there. And it was someone she knew.
"Izumi?"
"Saki? Why are you here?" Izumi Nogami had also just arrived. Compared to Saki Yoshida from the gyaru group, she glanced more than once at Tosaka Fuyuka. "By the way, when did you get so close to Miss Tosaka?"
"I've been staying at Fuyuka-senpai's house recently," Saki Yoshida replied. Although she smiled on the surface, she was screaming internally: These two met again! Kazuma isn't here—this is bad!!
Izumi Nogami pouted. "So you came to look for him too? Too bad—Kazuma doesn't seem to be here."
"I know. He told me on the phone," Tosaka Fuyuka said calmly, smiling brightly at Izumi Nogami. "He even sent me a lot of photos from the countryside."
Is that a provocation? That's definitely a provocation!!
Izumi Nogami's lips twitched. Damn it—he didn't send me anything!
"Hmph, what are you so proud of? I was the one who bought that phone for him—it was my gift," Izumi Nogami snorted in retaliation.
Tosaka Fuyuka's expression stiffened slightly. She had indeed overlooked that detail at the time. Too many things had happened, and she hadn't thought about buying him a phone for easier communication.
Seeing her reaction, Izumi became even more smug. "Speaking of which, Kazuma also gave me a gift. I wonder if you two got anything?"
She took out a Bamboo-Copter and deliberately showed it off.
"It's just a gift. Kazuma wouldn't favor one over another," Tosaka Fuyuka replied calmly, taking out a Good Friend Communication Card. "This is something special—a symbolic marriage proposal. That's what matters most."
"Marriage proposal?"
The gyaru young lady angrily kicked a nearby cherry blossom tree. "That annoying Tosaka! Always trying to compete with me!" she fumed. "Just wait until I get a real proposal—then we'll see how your fake one compares!"
"Shh—"
Tosaka Fuyuka suddenly raised a finger to her lips, her expression turning serious as she looked toward the bushes.
"What are you doing? Why are you suddenly acting like this?"
Rustle… rustle…
Izumi Nogami immediately fell silent. She heard it too—the sound coming from the bushes. "What is that?"
All three girls stared toward the swaying bushes, cautiously moving closer. Izumi caught a glimpse of something large flashing through the foliage, accompanied by a faint hissing sound. Her pupils shrank instantly, and without thinking, she clung to Tosaka Fuyuka, completely forgetting her hostility as she screamed in terror.
"There's… a monster!!!!"
Saki also grabbed onto Fuyuka-senpai, and the three of them huddled together, trembling.
Kazuma and Mifuyu Yukino spent the night at Tohka's house. Of course, he didn't sleep in the hostess's bedroom, but in the guest room, accompanied only by Luna. The kitten lay beside his pillow, remaining alert—she wasn't just a pet, but also a reliable bodyguard.
He slept soundly that night. When Kazuma opened his eyes, he saw Luna sitting near his head, wagging her tail and licking his face.
"Good morning, Master~" Luna's speech had become increasingly natural. With her evolved intelligence and learning ability, her knowledge and thinking were now comparable to that of a normal human.
Luna jumped onto her master's chest, her cat ears twitching slightly. In a sweet, bell-like voice, she said, "Master, would you like Luna's good morning bite?"
This cat… she's becoming more and more mischievous.
"Luna, you're learning too fast," Kazuma said with a helpless smile. "But can you learn something more normal?"
"Isn't this normal? The Snow Woman said Master likes this," Luna said as she licked his chest. "And Luna likes it too. Master… kitty wants to lick it~"
Her voice was unbearably sweet—something no man could easily resist. But… you're a cat now. I can't possibly—
The cat rubbed the area between his legs with her paw pads and licked it, which resulted in a tent appearing in his pants. His body's reactions were out of his control.
He sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Wait until you become a cat girl, and then I'll let you do whatever you want."
The cat protested, her expression becoming even more charming. "Meow~ I am already a cat girl... Luna is so pretty, doesn't the master want to bother the cat now~"
Where did you learn to say things like that?! You've been completely corrupted by Mifuyu Yukino!
"I didn't, I'm not, don't say nonsense!"
His repeated denials did nothing to stop Luna's actions. She continued to stroke and lick his bulge skillfully, saying, "Master~ let Luna do it, Luna wants to lick it~~"
Kazuma's face darkened, "We'll talk about that after you turn into a human. That's the bottom line!"
"Master..."
Luna drooped her ears and tail, dejected and frustrated.
"Playing pitiful won't work either," Kazuma glanced at the door, his expression helpless. He hurriedly pulled on a T-shirt, walked to the door, and yanked it open, startling the girl who had been eavesdropping outside.
Aoi blinked, instantly feeling as if sitting on pins and needles. "G-good morning, Kazuma-kun."
"I-I came to see how your arm is recovering," she explained, her eyes darting a glance inside. "I accidentally heard voices inside just now. I was a bit curious who you were talking to."
There's no one else in there.
"Oh, I was talking to Nanakamado Nanaka. You can't see her."
Nanakamado Nanaka: Using me as a shield, huh.
"So that's what it was!!!"
Aoi was suddenly shocked. She caught sight of his tented pants, standing erect and pointing right at her. Little Aoi was dumbfounded. At such close range, she could almost feel just how terrifyingly huge that frightening thing was!
Isn't this way too scary?!
She fell into the same shock as Natsuha, Chizuru, and the others, too ashamed to look any longer.
"T-that kind of thing can wait until later. I-I'll be going now————"
