CHAPTER 48 KUSUNOKI’S THOUGHT

KASUGA KUSUNOKI POV

Once again I fight him. This time the real him. Yet, I lose. I truly didn't expect this. When hearing he can shoot weapon all I expect is for him just know only how to use them. I didn't even expect that he is good at martial arts.

I guess I should have known better by now huh. And I even do those embarrassing flirty thing.

Remembering the reason why we want to make an alliance between us is because he is strong in the first place.

And I didn't even serious when I want to make a bet. It was shocking that Hikigaya Komachi actually say he will have a harem. And that I should join. While I didn't mind ending up with him to actually do that just now is not something I can do. There are many that I should do right now.

I'm really a bit upset that Father wants me to marry him. Not because I hate him or anything. But just because Father want strong people to join our family without considering my feeling about it. It also made me mad at my sister for running away and make me the heiress instead of her. In a strange way, I can actually respect that. He did that after all for our family is survival. Kasuga dojo nowadays didn't have many students. And if we can get strong people to join we can raise our family station to Shinto Faction.

"A bet is a bet. I'm sorry but we will have our date." He says this with a guilty face like he cheats on his girlfriend. I also frown at what I just do. But when Hikigaya just grins at that I guess I didn't really mind that.

A bit embarrassing I can admit that which made me blush. Sigh, I just hope father didn't know about this or he will make a big ruckus of things.

When the two of them finally going home I still continue my training. It was a bit late when I decide to go home.

"You are finally home, Kusunoki," Father says this with a strict face.

"I'm home father."

"Have you told them about that?" I forgot to actually told father this huh.

"I have, Father." He nods at me, "What is your relationship with him right now?" I can't really answer that. Instead, I just keep quiet and actually blush remembering that we will have a date.

"It's good if you actually close to him. Amaterasu-sama already told me that if I can make him join us, she didn't mind that he became our family."

"Why are you doing this father." I didn't let it out loud but Father it seems to hear that and answer, "All I do is for this family. And also for your safety." I actually didn't buy it because my father didn't show any emotion when concerning me. But I can trust that he does this for the family's station.

I didn't answer instead of going straight ahead to my rooms readying myself for tonight is meeting.
