Chapter 26: A side quest during an errand
(3rd pov)
Ryoto left the three girls dumbfounded, and only when they couldn't see him anymore did they regain their focus.
Ayo: "What... was that?"
Rin: "I don't know, but..."
Rin moved her finger slowly towards her sword, and as soon as it barely touched, the weapon snapped in half.
Ayo: "Wasn't that sword custom made of Australian Buloke? It's the hardest wood in the world, and it snapped because you hit Yuuki-san. How hard is his skin!?"
Rin: "It felt like hitting metal, but I'm sure I would be able to put at least a dent in it with this sword, but after hitting him, he not only left unscathed, but the sword broke as well. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't experience it myself."
Ayo: "Is he even human?"
Rin: "I heard from my father that some martial arts practice something called iron skin, so maybe Yuuki-kun is a talented martial artist?"
Ayo: "But he's so young. Do you believe that he would be able to master technique like that in a 'short' time?"
While Aya and Rin discussed the events that had just happened, Saki was still in a daze.
Saki: 'Ryoto...-sama, he looked like a knight in the shining armor protecting a princess. The way he stopped Rin's attack was astounding, and he even placed his health and well-being on the line to calm her down. Truly a noble individual he is.'
Saki blushed as she was thinking about Ryoto, but then she realized.
Saki: 'But he's Lala's fiance. First, I need to prove to him that 8n better than her then he'll come running to me, hooohohoho!'
Even in her head, she laughed the same way, but her thoughts were interrupted by her bodyguard.
Rin: "Anyway, we should keep our distance from him. He's like other men just waiting for a chance to pounce anything that moves, and what's worse, he is strong enough to force himself on anyone!"
Aya: "So why didn't he do it this time? I mean, he's had a chance to do it right now, but he let you hit him and walked away to buy whatever he needed."
Aya acted as the reasonable one in the group. Rin could be called a muscle, and Saki was the leader, so it's not strange that her points made sense, but Rin didn't want to admit defeat. Saki-sama was almost assaulted by him, and she'll do anything to stop him the next time he tries it.
Saki: 'What's this feeling in my chest. When thinking about him, I feel warm but imagining him next to Lala hurts the area where my heart is. Why is that? *Sigh*'
Saki's mind would be occupied with these thoughts for the next few days.
Kyouko: "Ah, my name is Kyouko... eeh... Kerisaki! Yes, Kyouka Kerisaki is my name!"
Ryoto: "Well, it was nice meeting you, Kirisaki-san, but I have an errand to complete, so if you excuse me."
I resumed my search for vinyl tape as Kyouko started thinking about something as she put her hand on her chin.
Kyouko: 'Did he say Kirisaki, or did I misheard something, hmm?'
I finally bought the needed item and returned to school. In the next few days, we worked hard to finish the animal cafe, and our work paid off as the finished product was satisfactory.
Tomorrow the festival will start, and I can't wait for it to begin, and nothing can change it.
