Izanami 2

As the fight continues. Tsukiyo Tsugumi became more excited as she fasten her pace. She jumps so high, raising her sword and preparing to attack in a downward slash.

Tsugumi is an excellent candidate. She got good manuevere skills, even though, she's using a mass-produced battlesuit. If she were to wear a strong battle suit, she would be able to make shina move. Unfortunately, the zern battlesuit isn't easy and so expensive to make.

As the timer continues to countdown. After it reached 30 seconds, that's where shina finally took action. She looks at Tsugumi and opens her mouth.

"Tsukiyo-san, I will now attack you. Please prepare yourself."

Tsugumi stop her tracks when she heard what shina said. She was already breaking a sweat all over her body. She was breathing heavily. Her eyes look so exhausted from all those attacks she executed. Furthermore, her nerves are so tense and painful. If not for her adrenaline rush, she would have already been on the ground.

"I got it... Thank you Chikushodo-san."

Shina only nodded gently to her opponent. Her outstretched hand retracted and hold the hilt of her tanto. She made a stance, bringing the tanto near her face as she slowly unsheathed the small blade. Then she recited the skill.

"Creation and Destruction! One life and One death!"

Yikes, that's a really dangerous name for a skill. I hope shina will be lenient to her opponent on not killing her. The arena may have been protected by a barrier that will prevent anyone from being severely injured.

A burst of energy exploded around shina. Damn, I know how powerful that zern crystal was since I had it. But seeing it in front of my eyes it's really impressive. Clicking my tongue, if it were not for the influence that crystal heart would have on the host, I would have it by now. Unfortunately, that thing must not be inside of a human. It seems they are obedient when they are turned into a zern core for battlesuit.

Moreover, Shiyuki also needs my help. I can't believe she has that despicable thing inside her. I will have to remove it. Not yet, I'm still working for a suitable heart for her, I can create a normal heart since it's compatible with her. However, I want to make her heart formidable and strong. Though not close to my heart, I can't do that since it will take many years.

Tsugumi gripped her sword tightly. Her eyes slanted preparing herself. But, when the attack came, Tsugumi fainted on spot.

Shina won the match by 1 second remaining. If the timer runs out it would be a draw.

It appears she holds back a little when executing that attack. Great, I will reward her later. Shina looks in my direction with a sweet smile. I wave my hand and smiled.

Some staff took the unconscious Tsugumi from the arena. Shina walked out from the grounds. I bet she will come here.

The audience was in awe watching the fight. They thought the fight would over in a second since they are talking about a member of the Chikushodo family. They then realize how kind-hearted the Chikushodo family is. To allow the opponent to display their skills what a thoughtful girl. The impression they have on the Chikushodo family has risen, They've admired the family more.

After the fight between shina and Tsugumi. Another competitor walked in and fought after the whistle blows.

A while later. I felt a presence behind my back. I turn around and there with a bright smile, she was standing behind me, my little darling, Shina. Now, I sound so cheesy but I can't help but dote on her.

I approach her and pull her into my chest.

"Baby, that was an impressive feat."

"Thank you. Papa."

"You can call me as usual you know. I feel like I aged very much when you call me like that."

I pretend to be sad but Inside I'm so happy.

"Nope, you are my father. So I will call you Papa. Furthermore, you have doting eyes when looking at me."

I sighed.

"Okay, I give up. So why are you here."

"Hmm, can't I come here to meet you?"

She frowned but I caress her cheeks as whispered lovingly.

"No, you can. If it's for my little sweetie, you can act spoil anytime, because I will spoil you. But you know, I know you have something to say right?"

"Hehehe, I really love you shido."

I stare at her with a deadpan expression. This girl is getting clever and mischievous these days.

"I love you too shina."

"I'm here because I have something to talk about with you."

She then circles her arms around my neck. Clinging onto me. I also wrap my arms around her waist. To prevent others from watching us, I cast a barrier that will make us invisible.

"So, what do you want to talk to me?"

"Well, you know the maids in the mansion right?"

"Yeah... Wait let me guess. This is about that girl you fought earlier and you want her to become a maid?"

"Yes but also no. She, Tsukiyo Tsugumi has an elder sister working as our maid. She has a goal to follow the path her sister took. That is why that girl is looking for opportunities to improve herself, She will accept any offer to become stronger so she can be recognized by the family... I watched her taking challenges and of course the result she lost. I really pity her and wanted to help but she declined any help. She said 'I will become stronger with my strength so I can reach my sister.'"

"I see... Shina, you are really a good girl. Here, this is your reward for being a good girl."

I lean down kissing her lips. Shina receives my advance with pleasure. She close her eyes savoring the passion of kissing her beloved. After a while, we separated.

"I'm happy shido."

"Anything that will make you happy."

"Pfft, you're so cheesy."

I scratch my head. What can I do, that's what I really felt.

"So what do you want me to do with this Tsukiyo girl?"

"It's just simple. I heard you created a club right. I will tell her, you will help her get strong. Since you are a teacher she would not hesitate to look for you. That's my request. Is it no good?"

When I contemplate on what she said. I formulate a plan inside my head. It took me a few seconds before find a suitable exercise to help that girl. With this exercise, I laugh deviously.

"It's good. I plan to help students anyhow."

"Then that's great... In addition, I will help you with the club."

"Oh, you will become a member?"

When she heard my words. Her mood suddenly turned 180 degrees. She feels depressed.

"Unfortunately I can't, I'm in Bookclub."

"Then it can't be helped then. You can come anytime to my club. You know you're always welcome sweetie."

"I know, truthfully, I want to be with papa all the time....but it would be imprudent of me to suddenly quit the club I'm in."

This girl is too kind-hearted. I thought for a while.

"How about this, you can become a member of my club while also a member of the Book club. Don't worry about feeling bad, I will talk to your Club president later."

"....Thank you shido."

She stayed silent for a few seconds before smiling at me. To make her happy I will do anything.
