''Hakamada-san, Du Du, what are you doing here, please come here for a moment. The meeting isn't over yet.

　When Nina called out to Ichigo and Yuto, who were still discussing something in a whisper, they jumped up and replied.

''Ah!　Sorry!　.........You got it, Yuto. I'm sending you emails, but don't let them know you're dead.

Okay, okay.

　When they arrived, Nina made a suggestion with her usual calm face.

''Mr. Dou Dou, as I said earlier, good luck with your win.

'How to win?　Is that...?

'Yes, simply put, I want you to win by an overwhelming margin of ability. Can you do it?

　Yuto didn't know why Nina would say that, but he thought about it for a bit.

'As far as I could see from the fight yesterday, it looked like Mr. Doudu was fighting in such a way that his hands and abilities were not exposed. I'm sure there are a lot of things going on with Mr. Doe, but from now on in the tournament, I want him to take those things out of the equation and suddenly go all out.

　Yuto turned to face Nina once more, and it looked like Nina had an idea.
　To be honest, he didn't want to show off too much, but once he decided to defeat all the participants, he would stand out anyway.
　If it is, then in the end, it's the same thing. Besides, this Irike's Grand Festival was an unofficial part of the Shitennji family, so to speak, it was like a tournament known only to the unofficial participants.
　What happened here would be a rumor, but it also means that the rumors would stop. The Shitenji family might be able to manipulate information in this area as well.
　Thinking in this way, Masato nodded.

''Okay........I can't make a full promise, though, since there's an opponent. I'm going to win it all anyway, so I'll try.''

'Yes, please. I like to defeat them in a flash or something. It's good to receive the enemy's full force and then easily defeat them, but that's a risk, and it's better to defeat them before they have the chance to show their strength. I'm an amateur when it comes to combat, so I'll leave it to Mr. Dou Dou Dou to decide how to fight.

　That way of fighting, according to Nina, is very close to a real battle.
It's also one of Yuto's strengths.

''But Nina-san, why is that?''

''Well isn't it a problem to draw too much attention to it considering the request that Yuto received?''

　Marion and Mari asked that Nina's intentions.
The others still hadn't gotten the point, so when they turned to Nina to ask for an explanation, Nina smiled and opened her mouth.

''That's for Mizuho-san's future.

For the future?

'Yes. Some of the participants who have been named to this tournament are well known in their own right. And even if they're not famous, they're pretty good, aren't they?　Then.........if against such people, Dou Dou Dou stayed to the end with a dominant win, and then.......if Zuiho won over that Dou Dou Dou by a dominant margin of strength, what would the people around you think?

'What?　That's right, that's right, don't flip Shitenji-san.......as a ridiculous person.

''That's right, Hakamada-san. That means he won't be making a move on Mizuho-san anymore unless he's a very good person.

"...Oh!　Then, Nina-san........

'Yes. Even though this Great Festival of the House of Entry is a secret, rumors of what happened will always be circulating, won't they?　If that is the case, then at the very least, I don't think that this great festival of the entrance will ever be held again, right?　If you've heard the rumors, you're not going to get nearly as many participants... and I was scared.

"..........

　They are all surprised at Nina's ideas for the future.
　Nina says it's similar to a check and balance between nations.
　
　In this case, in other words, if they let it be known that it was such a big deal to be Shitenji Mizuho's companion, there would be fewer men who would make rash advances to Mizuho.

''Moreover........I think this will make the so-called heavyweights of the Shitendera family think a lot. Because it's hard to find a partner of the same rank as Mizuho-san. He's the one who's closest to the strongest. If it's the Shitennji family that is looking for power, then it's already.......it's possible that from now on, Mizuho-san's search for a marriage partner will be left up to her.

　As I gradually understood Nina's thoughts, Shizuka, the representative of the common people who had shown the most disgust at this great festival of the entrance of the family, snapped her fingers.

''I see!　Nina, you're so smart!　Yes, let's do that!　That way, Mizuho-san won't have to marry a strange man at this incomprehensible event, and if Nina is right, the adults in Shitennji will indeed give up looking for a marriage partner this way!　And if you want to go out with Mizuho, you'll have to risk your life.　And it's good to be like that!　If you want to get a beauty like that, a man has to be ready for that, after all.

''Well if that happens there will be no more searching for a marriage partner in this way, and from now on Mizuho-san's wishes may be respected.

　Mari gradually understood, and Marion nodded with a smile.

''Then, Yuto!　Do it with all your might!

　Mari said, and the ladies got excited.

'Alright, I get it!'

　Yuto is also motivated by the women's collective feelings, something that makes him happy and motivated.

(Everyone has thought this far for Mizuho-san........ I'll give it my all!)

Hey, hey, but that's not it.

　One person, Ichigo, calls out fearfully to everyone who is excited.

''What?''　Do you have any objections to Hakamada-kun?

'Yes, no, I have no objection. There is no way!

　Shizuka and the others' unusual power causes Ichigo to panic and answer while turning away.
　But........Ichigo thinks.
　Nina's plan is good.
　Regardless of how far it will go as planned, it will have some effect.

(But.........)

　Ichigo silently sweats from his forehead as he stares at the high-strung maidens.

(The rumor of her being such a scary girl has spread... is it okay?　(If you do that ... won't that keep Shitenji-san from getting married?

　If that happens, you're responsible for the consequences...
　Ichigo was affected by the tension in the women's group and looked at the strangely motivated Yuto with pitying eyes.
