Tuesday.
After the school break, Seiya was walking with Shiro and Sakura toward the archery club. Seiya didn't have anything to do, so he decided to spend time with his best friend, Shiro. He wasn't going there to see Kaguya Shinomiya or anything.
"Shiro… oh, never mind," Seiya called Shiro to ask something but stopped midway when Sakura turned faster than Shiro and smiled at Seiya.
Seiya was strong and had the willpower to overwhelm any opponent, but that smile of a purple head girl… scared him. It was not like Seiya couldn't defeat Sakura in a fight. Why the heck does he want to fight an ordinary girl? It's just that there are some people you shouldn't piss off, and Sakura was on the list.
Shiro raised his brow but then shrugged his shoulders. He didn't know why Seiya was hesitating to talk with him. It wasn't like Shiro had tamed a world-ending beast or anything.
'Maybe I should visit Okita-san?' Seiya thought when he saw the kendo club from a distance. He wanted to see if Okita was in good health, but he didn't want to interfere with club activities.
It wasn't until Seiya heard a loud confession.
"OKITA, I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL!!"
Seiya widened his eyes when his simp senses triggered.
"Shiro and Sakura, I am going to the kendo club," Seiya said, and he rushed towards the kendo club.
"I will also be coming," Shiro said and made a mistake dragging Sakura with him.
Seiya flung the door open and shouted, "I object!"
Everyone in the kendo club reverted their attention from the two individuals to Seiya.
"Seiya-san~!" Okita, who was in her kendo gear, exclaimed in surprise as she rushed toward Seiya with a bright smile.
'Oh, she is so cute, UwU'
Seiya wanted to squeeze the cute girl and cuddle her, but he let the fantasy only roam in his mind. There would be a time for simmping Okita-san, but not now.
"Oh, she is that girl from that day…." Shiro muttered when he saw Okita again. He remembered seeing the silver head a few days ago. However, Shiro's smile vanished when he saw Sakura smiling at him.
"Hehe, senpai must be really happy to see that girl, right?" Sakura chuckled and asked.
"Ah, haha. That's… not the case, Sakura. I am just surprised to see that girl again. I mean, no hidden feelings, I swear!" Shiro explained with uneasiness.
"Hm, hm~! Why are you explaining it to me? It's all right. Be at ease." Sakura giggled.
"Phew." The storm has calmed down.
"Let me hold your hand so that you won't get lost," Sakura said as she held Shiro's hand, immediately covered with a ray of light. Her catchphrase was, 'Now you can't run away from me, senpai.'
Shiro blushed and nodded. He was happy to hold hands with Sakura, at least.
"What is happening here?" Seiya asked while glancing over her body if she was hurt somewhere or if her ahoge was working, but everything seemed normal at first glance.
"Oh, he just challenged me to a duel?" Okita pointed at the sturdy guy behind her, whom Seiya had ignored.
"Hey, don't interfere with our club. You are not involved!" The big man who had just challenged Okita spoke to Seiya.
"I think I am pretty involved here. I am Okita-san's friend." Seiya came forward and declared. "Who are you anyway?"
"I am Murayama. We have already met. Did you forget?!" Murayama asked in rage.
"I don't bother to remember mobs."
"You…"
Seiya ignored the mob and looked at Okita, "So you want to fight him?"
Okita smiled and nodded with rosy cheeks, "Yes. Thanks to Seiya-san's teachings, I have been working hard for several days. So I want to test my skills."
"Very well then if that was your wish," Seiya said before walking closer. "Remember to focus on your mind and treat your weapons as part of your body. Don't rely on the power of your weapon but yourself. Okay?"
"Hai!" Okita smiled and nodded. Her ahoge also tilted, indicating her happiness level.
She then put the cover on her face and picked up her shinai before walking towards the duelling circle.
In front of Okita was a big man who was much taller and more robust than her.
She closed her eyes, moving her lifted leg forwards and raising the shinai to her eye level.
Seiya, who was the match's referee, announced the start of the game. "Begin!"
"HA!" Murayama leaped at Okita, who wasn't showing any sign of moving.
Just when Murayama was about to hit Okita, Okita disappeared, and then everyone heard the name of the legendary move of historic Okita Souji.
"Sandanzuki!"
Okita reappeared behind Murayama before something hit Murayama three times.
"Ghua!" Murayama didn't know what had just happened as he was thrown backward from the sheer impact of three thrusts on his body.
Almost everyone had their eyes wide open. Did they hear Okita correctly? Okita Souji was just a girl named after the real Okita Souji and always brags that she possessed the fighting spirit of the legendary warrior. However, now that they saw the superhuman display of skill that Okita had just shown, they didn't have any reason to deny Okita Souji, the girl with an ahoge.
'So cool…' Shiro exclaimed in his mind when he witnessed Okita's unprecedented move. He was always interested in holding blades in both hands and fighting with them. So seeing Okita moving so swiftly with her sword sparked Shiro's interest.
"Ara looks like that girl does possess some perks to raise senpai interest." Sakura chuckled.
Shiro smiled and shook his head, "Not her but the display of her skills. Anyway, we should get going or be late for the club."
Shiro wanted to spend some time with Sakura alone now that she was showing some intimating signs.
"Hai~!" Sakura smiled and nodded, putting the pocket knife back.
Seiya went towards Murayama and counted for ten if Murayama wanted to fight again, but the man couldn't even move his fingers, let alone stand to fight again.
"Mob can't fight. Okita-san wins." Seiya announced the result.
"Yatta! Okita-san daishouri~!" Okita exclaimed with cheer and went towards Seiya, removing her mask. "How was it? Was the technique successful?"
"It was marvelous." Seiya smiled and caressed Okita's head, who happily let him pet her with a beaming smile.
"Okita…san…" Murayama raised his voice, calling Okita in a weakened state. "I just… wanted to ask you out."
Pin drop silence replaced the noise before everyone stumbled themselves in surprise.
"I am sorry, Murayama-san, but I am not interested in going out!" And Okita declined the confession.
"Is this because you are interested in this playboy? This guy already has a girlfriend!"
"Eeeh?!" Okita blushed, confused as to how to answer Murayama. No, she was more scared to upset Seiya, or was she want to affirm Muraama's claim that she likes Seiya?
"Whether she likes me or not, you are unworthy to look at Okita-san with those eyes. You are only asking her out because Okita-san has now become a cutie pie. You don't respect the real beauty inside her." Seiya said, glaring at Murayama before adding a correction. "And I don't have *a* girlfriend. I have two girlfriends now."
Leaving Murayama and the rest of the kendo club's spectators stupefied, Seiya walked towards Okita.
"So you are free today? I want you to see someone." Seiya asked.
"OO! Are you talking about your teacher?" Okita asked excitedly.
Seiya didn't say anything and only smiled. "You will see."
"Let's go~! Areee?" Okita exclaimed with an excited smile, but then the world around her started fading before she collapsed on the floor, cold.
Seiya widened his eyes when he saw the girl collapsing suddenly. "Okita-san!"
