Improved

Hae-in summoned her sword from the inventory. And Queresha took out two short swords with red blades and black hilt from under her skirt flashing her black laced panties a little.

'She always keeps them there, always ready to take action unless she is wearing a pencil skirt.' Haru thought as he moved a little to dodge an ice arrow that was sent towards him at high speed by Jin-ah.

"Mou, I missed again I thought It would hit because he was staring at Queresha unnie," Jin-ah said as she made more than 20 ice arrows this time and sent them towards me from a different angle.

'So that was intentional?' Haru thought.

He dodged the first arrow that was falling on top of his head by stepping back. Hae-in appeared in front of me instantly with a flash of light and went for my neck. Haru tilted his body a bit back avoiding the slash with a hair's breadth.

SWOOSH*

And jumped back as an ice pillar shot out of the place Haru was standing before, he saw Jin-ah was fully concentrating on using ice magic. And Hae-in moved towards him again. And Queresha appeared behind him and swung her short sword towards his back.

SWOOSH*

But only sliced through the air as Haru dodged her attack, Queresha went close and did many slashes in quick succession leaving red trails as she moved forward.

SWOOSH* SWOOSH* SWOOSH* SWOOSH* SWOOSH* SWOOSH* SWOOSH* SWOOSH*

Haru dodged all of the attacks with minimal moments as he stepped back while dodging ice lances that aimed at his openings.

'They are doing pretty good, but still, they have some openings.' Haru thought as he blocked Queresha's kick that was aimed at his side with his forearm. And attacked with his palm on Queresha's stomach the attack connected and Queresha was launched in the air but she flipped and landed while she skidded back then regained her balance.

"You have many openings, come at me again," Haru said as he grabbed the Ice lance that was aiming for the side of his head and crushed it to pieces.

Hae-in stood next to Queresha and they both moved together leaving behind white and red trails as they attacked Haru together.

"Sword Dance," She muttered as she slashed with her sword which left light trails like she was performing with a ribbon rather than fighting with a sword.

"Chain attack," Queresha said as she slashed at Haru's back the slashes looked like a carefully woven net that aims to capture its prey.

Haru dodged their attacks that were aimed at his head, neck, torso, and legs. He moved around jumping and twirling through while dodging their attacks while also dodging Jin-ah's ice magic that was sent in forms of arrows, lances, and pillars that would come out of the ground or from a hypothetical blind spot that should be present at the moment.

'She has really improved a lot; it was a good idea to let her train.' Haru thought about Jin-ah who was a normal civilian sometime ago.

"Haah, Haah." Both Queresha and Hae-in were breathing a bit heavily.

'It is so hard to land a hit; it is like he can read the future.' Hae-in thought.

'My Lord is the worse opponent to face for the close-range fighters he can dodge every attack without any difficulty and he could have attacked several times between our attacks but didn't.' Queresha thought as she looked at Hae-in who was also looking at her.

'Guess it is time,' both of them thought as they moved.

'Breath of Light: Crucifixion' Hae-in performed six stabs towards Haru all of them aiming towards vitals and Queresha dashed toward Haru from the right side after he dodged three stabs of hae-in that was aimed at the lower body and attacked.

'Yatagrasu,' Queresha did a super-fast eight slash attack with her short swords glowing with dark red fire leaving red trails, the attack was aimed at the weak points of Haru.

SWOOSH* SWOOSH* SWOOSH* SWOOSH* SWOOSH* SWOOSH* SWOOSH* SWOOSH*

But it only slashed at the empty air as Haru jumped back to dodge their attack as an Ice pillar appeared behind him.

'Now,' All Three said in their mind as Haru was in the air.

"SNOWSTORM," Jin-ah shouted as she used the spell she has been preparing for some time.

'OHO,' Haru thought as a snowstorm engulfed him.

"Phew, that was tough. Good work Unnies." Jin-ah said as she smiled.

"Haah, Haah" both Queresha and Hae-in smiled while they were panting.

All three of them then looked at the snowstorm that was spinning dangerously fast with sharp ice shards. All three were looking at the storm.

"It looks good right,"

"Of course it does," Jin-ah said with a proud expression. Hae-in and Queresha nodded but their face turned a bit stiff as they turned their neck like a machine without oil.

"You guys have really improved, I'm proud." Haru stood there with a smile.

"You think so, Hehe." Jin-ah laughed as she hugged Haru. Hae-in and Queresha smiled wryly as they shook their head.

"Rest a little and then we will continue Normal training," Haru said as he patted the three of them on their head.

"Ohhh," Hae-in and Jin-ah looked at Queresha with mischievous eyes. This caused her to look away while being embarrassed.

After they rested for a bit Haru told them what to train in and they listened to him. Then he went back to the apartment and went to the kitchen because Kanae was there.

He walked in without making a sound as he looked at Kanae who was in a sports bra with a purple off-shoulder crop-top and with black shorts that were really short and her hair was tied in a high ponytail revealing her white nape. Haru went behind to see her waiting for the tea to brew as she was looking outside the window.

'What should I do about Haru? I don't have any experience in this.' Kanae was thinking about Haru.

"Sigh*" Kanae sighed.

Haru smiled and hugged her from behind wrapping his hands on her thin and toned waist.

"KYAAAAAA," Kanae shouted as she moved to see who it was.

'I didn't sense him, wait isn't it always like that.' kanae thought

"H-Haru what are you doing? You scared me." Kanae said as she saw it was Haru and calmed down a little. Then she saw that Haru's arms were wrapped around her stomach.

'W-Why is he holding me like this? No no no,'

"H-Haru t-this…" Kanae was about to say more but,

"Do you mind it?" Haru whispered in Kanae's ears which caused her to jolt and then he rested his chin on her right shoulder.

'Wh-what do I say? I can't say I don't mind it,' Kanae was freaking out of her mind but couldn't say anything.

"...I'll take that silence as an approval," Haru said as he tightened his arms around her causing Kanae to lean back onto his chest.

'So warm, But…should I be….. it shouldn't be like this... ' Kanae thought as she felt Haru's embrace and his strong arms that held onto her waist. She enjoyed the feeling but a trace of hesitation was still present in her eyes.

"H-Haru Stop," Kanae said softly as she lowered her head.

"Do you really want that?" Haru asked.

Kanae was silent for some time then said.

"...Yes, you already have th-" Kanae lifted her head as she was talking but that was cut short by a surprise attack on her lips by haru.

Her eyes shot wide open she wanted to back away,

'No, this isn't right. I need …to…..move….away' her mind was telling her to move but her body did the opposite.

Her body turned while still in his embrace and she wrapped her arms around Haru's neck as he placed his hands on her butt and lifted her then placed her on the kitchen counter still kissing her and hugged her waist tightly.

'This is bad,' Kanae thought as she wrapped her legs around Haru and pulled him closer she felt his tongue move inside her mouth and slither around wrapping around her tongue and her mind blanked for a moment. Her heartbeat grew erratic and she was having difficulty breathing as Haru kissed her so strongly.

Haru moved back and looked at Kanae who was panting for breath with a red face and misty eyes.

"I know that you are lying so let me tell you, I love you Kanae, I know it might be hard for you to accept it bu-" He was about to say more but Kanae kissed him sealing his mouth.

'This is payback, Jerk' Kanae thought as she kissed him sloppily because she didn't have any experience in this. She tried to fight his tongue and dominate him but that backfired in every possible way as she was dominated instead.

The battle of tongues continued for another 10 minutes before both Haru and Kanae moved back with a string of saliva connecting them.

"I love you too, although I hate you because you have multiple lovers and still have the guts to kiss me like this. Hmph," Kanae said as she looked at Haru and puffed up her cheeks.

"Well, what can I do? That was the only way to solve this if I asked you for a date you will definitely run away." Haru said as he hugged her lovingly.

"How do you know me so well?" Kanae muttered.

Haru looked into her eyes and smiled.

"I just know." He said with a smile.

"T-this…." She was stopped midway again as Haru kissed her again and a bit violently this time.

After this, they both sat down in the living room with some tea that was over-brewed because they were a bit too engrossed.

"Haru do you think I should train a bit less?" Kanae asked.

"Why did you get hurt?" Haru asked as he looked at her with concern. Kanae felt a bit warm because of his worry.

"No, I thought to tone down the muscles a bit they are a bit…." Kanae said as her voice trailed off.

"If you are worried about that then don't, you look beautiful. So don't worry about anything. And I like it a lot." Haru whispered the last part in Kanae's ears as he hugged Kanae positioning her back on his chest and his hands rested on Kanae's stomach.

"O-Ok," Kanae said as she leaned back his embrace and placed her hand on his keeping it in place.

"But I didn't know you could scream that cutely," Haru said.

"Forget about that or….." Kanae's voice sounded colder than ice.

"Ok, that isn't going to happen," Haru said as he kissed her on her forehead.

"It is Go- HEEYYYYYYYY," Kanae shouted at the unexpected answer.

"haha," Haru laughed.
