15 minutes before the game.

Well I guess we'd better get going.

　Yuto released his meditation on the bed in the room given to him by the Shitendera family.
　
　The current Yuto showed the face of a warrior who had gone through numerous battles.



　When he was about to leave the front door of the mansion, Yuto was called out from behind and turned around.

''.....Yeah?　Ah, Sanzenin-san?

　Apparently, Kotone was about to head towards the bleachers.
　There, Kotone Sanzenin Kotone was standing with a small body.
　Kotone looked a bit awkward and bowed her head deeply as if she had made up her mind.

''Ah, um.......I'm sorry about yesterday!　I ... I was going to come back later to apologize...

'What?　Ah!　Never mind.....

But ... I didn't even listen to what he had to say ... well ... I even raised my hand to Mr. Du Du...

　Kotone turned over..................She looked depressed as if she was in shock.
　In fact, Kotone had no memory of raising a hand to another person.
　　I even think.

''Haha.......It's fine now that you understand that it's a misunderstanding, Kotone. Anyway, we're going to watch the game now, right?　Mizushige's

Oh, yes.

　Yuto walked out to urge her with a smile and Kotone also lined up her shoulders beside her.

''It's funny for me to say this, but good luck cheering for Mizushige-san. Oh, of course I'm participating with the intention of winning, okay?　If ... if I were to clash with Mr. Mizushige, it would be in the final.

Yes.....

　Kotone still seemed to be concerned about what happened yesterday, so Masato tries to get Kotone to cheer up while diverting the topic.
　

(Why would Dou Dou Dou........why would Dou Dou Dou.......care about me? He should rather be angry........

　To be honest, Kotone has been disturbed by this boy, Doudou, from the moment she met him. It all started when his older brother, Mizushige, showed his concern for this boy.
　And it doesn't appear from Kotone that his brother has the ability to care about him to that extent.
　It's just........
　Right now, Kotone was beginning to remember a feeling that she had almost forgotten due to the fact that she had given up, a feeling that would soon disappear altogether.
　It was touched by the angry attitude that Yuto had shown for Mizuho, and it was set in motion by Yuto's stranger behavior towards her today.



'Oh!　There she is!　Hey, you!　　Du Du Yujin!

　At the call of a noisy girl from behind, Yuto and Kotone turned around, and the Chinese girl who accused Yuto with Kotone yesterday was approaching them with a nimble gait.

''........Yi!　You're the one from yesterday!　And the Huang family's.....right?

''It's Akihana!　You should at least remember people's names. It's the loss of your life to forget such a pretty girl, brother!

Uh-huh, I'm sorry.

What's with the look on your face? Well, I'm sorry about yesterday. But the misunderstanding is over now. You can't keep worrying about such a small matter forever.　Brother.

(It's amazing you can say that to yourself... or is this the blood of the Huang family?)

'I just had some unpleasant sensations... well, okay. Actually, I've got something to tell you!　Kotone was there too, so it's just as well.

You want to tell him?　You mean me?　Mr. Akika.

'Yes!　It's about that peeping tom yesterday!

The murderer...　The two of you mistook me for the killer!　They found it!　Mr. Akika.

　Yuto was also concerned about this matter.
　Although it was a big part of what he was suspected of doing.

''Maybe there's no doubt about it. It's just ... he's a clever guy and there's not much evidence of it at all. I only noticed the disgusting eyes by accident at that time too.......I thought he was quite a guy for not giving me any sign of him.......but.... Coo!　It makes me so angry now that I remember!

So who is it?　Mr. Akika, that miscreant....

I was one of the participants which explains why he's so tough in the streets.

'To the participants!　No way....

I mean, no way!　I looked up his name, and it's listed as "Ten-chan", which is a joke!

''Ten-chan.................Oh, maybe it's the guy with the mask. Come to think of it.......he was in the lounge yesterday and disappeared right before Akika-san walked in!　That thing sensed and ran away...?

　You're also getting angry. The reason is that his actions are petty and cowardly.
　Akihana also listened to Yuto's story and revealed her anger once again.

''He got away!　How did they know!　And that guy was a participant, right?　I know that this great festival of the entrance of the family is for all kinds of guys, but externally, it's like they're here to get married, right?　And yet another woman's ... this mine!　I can't believe you're getting a glimpse of that gem of skin!

It's that kind of guy that made me...

But what are you going to do?　Ms. Akika. I can't forgive you either, so I will try to help you as much as I can, but if you don't have any proof.... Would you like me to consult with the Shitenji family members?

''No, wait a minute, Kotone. That's the perfect opportunity to beat your opponent to the punch.

'What?　What's that?

'My God!　The one who will fight this 'Ten-chan', the miscreant, in the first round is my brother!

'Oh!　So, then, is your brother Akika?

'Yes!　My brother was breathing down my neck, saying he was going to beat me up and rip that mask off!

　Yuto's expression becomes subtle as soon as the topic of heroes comes up.

(Ugh....I'm going to say it. This..............It's a disaster for the other party too. (Well, they had it coming.)

　The Yellow Hero that Yuto knows is a person who has difficulties with his character and s*xuality, but in terms of ability, he is a person who has power worthy of being ranked A.
　The other party may be skilled, but if we go by this story, Hero will definitely be serious about it.
　If that's the case, Yuto thinks that the all-out yellow hero is not such an easy opponent.

''So, I've come to ask for a favor from brother Dou Dou Dou's brother.

'What?　Me?　Is that...?

　Yuto had no idea what Akika would ask of him in this situation.
　He took it as if she came to report to him as a sign of sincerity because of what they had talked about so far and what happened yesterday.

''If our big brother loses, it will be your brother's turn next, Dou Dou Dou!

...What?

That's why we have to take out insurance. You see, if our big brother's place wins, he'll play the winner of his brother's match tomorrow against the winner of his brother's match. So if our brother loses, it's your turn!　That's why today's game, you can't afford to lose it!

....
....

　Both Yuto and Kotone have a subtle expression on their faces.

(What can I say.......in a way, should I call them siblings with an established trusting relationship?

Did you get it?　Brother. You should be happy that I'm supporting you!　Aren't you glad?

　Yuto and Kotone each look at Akika with a confident smile on their faces.
　Kotone was both shocked and dazzled by Akika's uninhibitedness to support someone other than her brother in any way, shape or form.
　

''..............Wah, okay. Ah!　It's almost time to start!　Then I'll hurry up!

　When Yuto sees the time, he rushes off to run.

''Ah........Mr. Dou Dou Dou!

Yeah?

　Yuto turns around after being stopped by Kotone.

''Ah ... well ... please do your best. No!　Wow ... me too!　I can't forgive the peeping tom.　Just now!

'Oh I get it!　Of course!　I'm going to win it all to begin with. But thanks!　Kotone, Akika-san.

　When Yuto raised his hand, Akika waved cheerfully.

''Go ahead, brother.''

　When Kotone saw this, she became impatient.

Have a good day!　Mr. Du Du!

　I said.
