As he was able to read what was going on, Yuto's face turned pale. No, not much of a read, but the last word of Ichigo was well understood.
　In other words, at the moment there is no man who is a perfect match for Mizuho, but the best, just right person was himself.
　Mizuho would definitely oppose such a thing, but even so, she was a member of the Shitennji family.
　If Ichigo was right, and Zhu Yin had decided to do so, then there was a good chance she wouldn't be able to disobey.

(It's your fault too!)

(What?　What?　(I didn't do anything!

(Because you get carried away and show off your strength at the big festival tournaments all the time!　Because of that, it seems like people other than Akane are starting to recognize you, too. (They were talking about it in the control room, too.

Hey!　(That's because Nina said it's better for her to overwhelm her opponent and win...)

Shut up, Ahot!　And you're the main one who fought those things that attacked us?　Normally, it would be Shitenji who would be responsible for intercepting them. It's Shitenji who's being attacked. And you're the one who's always fighting in the front and playing a major role in it.......show-offs!　(That's only going to appeal to my son-in-law!

(Whaaaaat?　Wow!　(I didn't mean to!)

(And that's what happens when you over-stretch yourself!　 And even though you're the lowest level, you should be found out at school that you're Shitenji-san's fiancée. (What will the fans of Mizuho's fiancee do to you.......)

　At Jilin High School, Mizuho, Marion and Nina already had their own fanbases, and their power was growing by the day. It was seen as only a matter of time before they would be on par with Mari, who was ahead of them.

(Hee--!　I don't like that!　(Ichigo, what should I do?!

So go!　Yuto!　We have to disappear and get through the final while we still can. As expected, if you don't have an opponent, there's nothing you can do about it!　That's all the commotion. (No one will be surprised if the other guy has disappeared!

(Wow, okay!)

　When Yuto, having made up his mind, turns his body and tries to leave, Ichigo pulls on Yuto's arm again.

(Wait!　(I forgot to mention something important!

(What the f*ck!　(I'm in a hurry...)

Look, three days from now, Saturday ... don't you ever forget it. You'll be there!　(There's a future there that you should protect................maybe!

...!

　Ichigo let out a grin and a fierce smile. It's the face of a person who is willing to risk everything he has to accomplish this.
Yuto saw a man........no, a Han in that smile.

(Yeah I'll be there for sure. To gain a connection with a kind-hearted and calm woman I didn't know I had!

"...waiting for you!　My best friend!

Osa!

　They bumped each other's right fists into each other with a knot.
　There is a world that only men understand.
　No matter how difficult it is.
　Now the two boys fully shared the same purpose and dream.
　

'.....hmm?
Huh?

Are you finished?　Yuto, Hakamada-kun.

　

''Already!　What are you doing?!

　Behind her, surrounded by the Shitendera family's sister, Marion is in tears.

''Ah........''

　Ichigo and Yuto twitch their faces.
　Then Marion, who hasn't given up yet, raises her voice.

'It's not too late, Yuto-san, it's not too late!　Quickly....what?

　At the same time as she said that, the sisters from both sides of Marion smiled and whispered something into Marion's ear.
　Then..........
　Instantly, Marion's face changes to a wobbly, shaky and bloodless expression.

'Marion-sama, please calm down, we're not thinking of doing anything. That said.........the maid in Marion-sama's room.......the short skirt......the real desire.... ...

'Yes ... that cartoon ... so incendiary ... so incendiary ... so many different ... masks ... this upcoming gathering ...'

　I can't hear what they are saying until I get to Yujin and the others.

''What's going on!　Mr. Marion.

"Ah, that was........the same as Shirasawa-san and Nina-san.......!

The expression disappeared from Marion's face.......and she broke her knees.

''Yuto-kun, Hakamada-kun, can you come to the mansion to talk to me? Haha, don't worry, we're not planning anything. We just want to discuss this matter. Including the future, you know.

　Meira laughed as if nothing had happened, and then said that with a serious face.

''I'm sure this is what you feel, Yuto-kun, but this attacker isn't just any thing. This is likely to have a big impact on the future of not only Shitenji, but also the agency. That's why we need to sum up what happened this time. Please understand.

　Yuto's face tightens when he is told that.
　That's certainly what we need. Besides, I also want the information that Shitenji and the agency have.

''Would Hakamada-kun be willing to come as a concerned party?''

'What?　Me too?

'You're one of the people involved who have been watching the situation closely. If you notice anything, please say anything. That's how good a partner he was. I'm sure he'll analyze every angle this time.

　Yuto and Ichigo closed their mouths and looked at each other as they met Akera's serious gaze.

''Then let's go. Hakamada-kun, groom-dono.''

　Yuto, who was about to follow Akera, stopped in his tracks.

''Heh?　Now ... what did you say?

'Ha!　Yuto, run!

　Immediately after, the two were easily caught by the sisters of Shitenji, he said.
　By the way, Marion is trembling beside them while covering her face, which is red up to her neck with her hands.
