Work hard to stop a bleak future

Kiriko's room inside the hospital was naturally well-equipped since she mostly lived at the hospital.

While Kiriko didn't care much where she lived, how could Tsukasa let her sleep on the bunk or the floor?

They didn't lack money, so they naturally renovated Kiriko's room with many things that could make her relax, such as an underground hot spring pool.

While it was named with a "pool," its size wasn't that big, and it was as big as a small pond fish that usually someone kept on the house.

Tsukasa and Kiriko rested on that pool after they ended their battle.

As for the result of the battle, there was no need to say it, right?

While Kiriko was an A-Rank Blazer, her physical ability was only E-Rank, which was several times weaker than Tsukasa. Unless she used magic, there was no way she could match him.

"So I'm the first one? You never tell them the fact that you date them together? Why?" Kiriko looked at Tsukasa in amazement, thinking that this guy really dared to do something as crazy as dating many strong Blazers at the same time. She was also curious why he didn't tell them since she thought that he had told all of them the fact he dated together secretly.

"...I'm not sure whether I can stay alive if I tell them."

"..."

"Can you at least say something?"

Kiriko rubbed her temple and asked, "By the way, what are you planning after this?" While she asked this question, she kept rubbing his abs since not only was his face amazing, but his body was even more amazing.

"Kiriko-san, can you not ignore me?" Even Kiriko didn't have confidence that Tsukasa could stay alive after he told everyone the truth. However, he still answered her question. "I'm going to train." As for her hands that kept rubbing his abs, he decided to ignore them.

"Training?" Kiriko looked at Tsukasa curiously.

"Yes." Tsukasa nodded and told Kiriko about his plan.

Kiriko nodded and agreed without hesitation. "You should get stronger before you tell them the truth." She thought for a moment and asked, "Say, have you solved the problem in your regenerative healing factor?" She knew that Tsukasa's body could heal faster than ordinary people.

No, his regeneration had reached a supernatural level.

Kiriko even felt that Tsukasa's regenerative healing factor even matched the 4th rank of the KOK A-League, Black Knight, Iris Ascarid.

Iris's ability is an Infinite Regeneration.

It heals injuries no matter how severe and also recovers her stamina, granting her a nearly unlimited amount.

While Tsukasa could heal any injuries, wounds, or fight against illness, diseases, viruses, and other things, he didn't have unlimited stamina, but his recovery was faster.

If Tsukasa could solve the problem of his regenerative healing factor that didn't work on bladed things, Kiriko felt that his chance to stay alive would be even bigger.

"No." Tsukasa shook his head since he wasn't sure why the problem with his regenerate healing factor happened.

Whether it was a curse or trauma because of his previous life, Tsukasa wasn't sure. He had tried many things, but he hadn't found a solution to solve this problem.

"Then..." Kiriko looked at Tsukasa and said, "Why don't you just stay here? I'll protect you?" She still hadn't given up and wanted to monopolize him after all.

Tsukasa smiled warmly, which made Kiriko blush as he patted her head. "Thanks, but I'll try first."

Kiriko opened her mouth before she swallowed back the words she wanted to convey. "You're younger than me, but you pat my head like this?"

"Sorry, sorry."

His perfunctory apology annoyed her, but Kiriko couldn't really get angry at him. "Say, when are you going to train?"

"Tomorrow?"

"...That early?"

"The faster I go, the faster I go back. I'll visit you first after I go back."

Tsukasa tried to reassure Kiriko.

As her head was patted again, Kiriko didn't say anything, only silently lay on his chest as she heard his heartbeat.

"By the way, is Ayatsuji-senpai's father alright now?" Tsukasa asked.

"He's alright, but that kind of patient, you should be able to take care of him by yourself, right?" Kiriko asked in confusion since, with Tsukasa's skill, he should be able to wake up Ayase's father.

"I want to go on the train. It's impossible to take care of her father all the time."

"That's true."

Kiriko nodded, then suddenly asked, "Say, how many girls do you have beside me?"

"...What's with the sudden question?" Tsukasa was startled.

"Answer me!"

"...four beside you."

Tsukasa didn't include Nene since she forced their relationship, and he was often being attacked.

If Tsukasa didn't meet her, he wouldn't even think that they had any interaction in their lives.

Still, Tsukasa was prepared to be slapped or be attacked again by Kiriko, but her reaction made him unexpected.

"Hmm... it's smaller than I'd thought," Kiriko murmured.

"...That numbers are small?" Tsukasa was dumbfounded.

Kiriko sighed and said, "Tsukasa, you underestimate your charm. If you want, you can charm the entire girl in this country and even become a harem king."

"..."

"However, do you think I'll let you?" Kiriko asked with sharp eyes.

"You misunderstood me. I was just mesmerized by the charm of your body," Tsukasa said as he hugged Kiriko's waist.

While Kiriko's chest wasn't as massive as Stella, Kanata, Touka, or even Kagami's, she had this mature charm that those four didn't have. Even if he compared her to Nene, who was an expired loli, her mature charm was even better.

Still, Tsukasa wouldn't say that he was tempted to become a harem king in this country.

However, who was Kiriko?

Could she believe in his deception so easily?

"Ouch! Ouch! Forgive me, Kiriko!"

The skin on his waist was twisted in 360 degrees, making him shout in pain.

"If you dare to create a virus that will kill 99% of males in this world, I'll... I'll..."

Kiriko was in silence, and if that really happened, she would do nothing and just keep Tsukasa, right?

After all, when that happened, a male was rare, and someone as handsome and beautiful as him was even rarer, so why should she give him to someone else?

"Let's stop thinking about something stupid and get out of the bath. I want to see Ayatsuji Kaito."

Tsukasa knew about The Last Samurai, and he wanted to know how powerful that person was being called with that epithet. However, he knew that he shouldn't expect someone, considering how that person was beaten by Kuraudo, who he had beaten before.

"Okay."

Kiriko agreed and walked out of bed, but powerful arms suddenly wrapped around her waist. Her face flushed. It might be because of the heat in the bath or the boy's action. However, she didn't move and asked, "Don't you plan to walk out of the bath?"

"Well, I plan to do it in the kitchen."

"...Very attractive idea. Let me see you in the naked apron."

"....."

'Shouldn't it be the other way around?'

Anyway, it didn't really matter now since the fight between them had already started.

"Let's go ahead!"
