298-Passion of inferior persons ⑪




Yeah. Listen and think about it. This festival is Shitenji's son-in-law hunting event. In other words, you are, in all likelihood, a candidate for your son-in-law. What would your opponent think if you were to go to a party and look for a girlfriend at the same time?

'No! Because we were the ones who wanted to destroy the big festival in the first place!

 Ichigo understands, so he stops Yuto with a look of, well, listen.

''Even more so.''

Uh-huh.

"Due to the turmoil, the date was changed and the last day is today. But hey, if there were no irregularities like this, the original last day would be the very same day as the matchup. Plus, assuming you were still in the finals, you'd have to lose as soon as it started to make it to the time and place! This is just plain rude, people think.

"....! But! The date of the party is not for our convenience, but the other side's...

Yeah, that's not our fault. But you see, this is dangerous information, too. And when I said it mustn't be found out, it was for another reason.

What? Ichigo never said a word about that, did he?

 Yuto nodded his head, but Ichigo proceeded to speak with a sullen look on his face.

''Because, if the people around you find out about your behavior here, they might think you've tarnished the face of the Shitenji family. If the other participants, who don't know anything about you, get word that the guy who wants to be Shitendera-san's son-in-law lost on purpose because he prioritized the party.......Shitendera-san's value would drop drastically. Both as an ability and as a woman!

'Yes! That's the story! I was asked to guard Shitenji, so there's no mud on Shitenji's face or anything!

'You're an idiot. There's no way Shitenji can say that. If word got out that Shitenji knew this Grand Festival was going to be attacked, there would be a riot. That's something that can never be mentioned. You have to pretend that you have only participated in the Grand Festival personally.

'Mmmm ... it was. But that's why you're so angry. It's just that we acted rashly.

That was different, though.

'What? Isn't it?

'Anyway. What matters is what people will think when they find out you're going to a party despite the fact that you're participating in the big festival. The Shitenji family didn't expect to be embarrassed by leaving it open until the Grand Festival. That's why the blind date shouldn't have been exposed....

It's so heavy...

'But that's not the same thing... what is it that makes Mizuho-san and the others so angry?

That's what I imagined when I heard you were going to a party.

"That day, I have a super important party to attend, so I can't wait to meet a cute and calm girl after losing a little bit of this stupid big festival in a random way. I don't want to be surrounded by girls who are not very kind and who make my head swim easily. Hougetsuki-san, you actually seem to have quite a few breasts, so I'm looking forward to it.

What!

That's very specific. Can you imagine that much?

Yeah? Hmmm ... well ... these are women with a strong imagination.

And I just found out for the first time that Mr. Hokkien was coming, myself.

'Yes ... was it?'

Ichigo you're not hiding anything from me even though you're vague about it, are you?

I'm not hiding it! I'm not hiding it! I've answered everything you've asked me, I have.

What he asked me, right? Yeah, well, I'm going to ask you. How did you find out?

Mr. Mito has made me aware of it.

So, why are you so angry?

'Last night, Mito and her friends kidnapped me to the girls' room and asked me to give them the details of the blind date. Of course I refused! And it's none of your business!

'Well yes, you can say that very well. I wouldn't have been able to do that if I were you. It's amazing, Ichigo. You're so manly!

 When Yuto blurts out his honest opinion, Ichigo takes it as praise, "Right! And momentum is building. Then he continued his story.

'Of course! And, you know, I was still persistent and I was honestly pissed off too. I told him a little too hard.

Did you tell him?

'Yeah, Yuto, you know, I'm going to a blind date to find a kind, ladylike, demure woman. I was looking forward to that! I mean. Plus, I'm thrilled that I'm not surrounded by women like that! I understand you also said that!

'I didn't say that! What are you doing? 

'Mostly because you guys are blah blah blah blah, which is why Yuto wants other women. It's all because of your unworthiness! If you're worried about what you're doing, go polish up your woman! You know.

What do you mean? What the hell are you talking about? ! And I think you're even angrier when you talk like that. It's more than you need.

It's okay! You should have told him that with a lot of force! And he also told me that Yuto likes women with big breasts! All but Mr. Marion seemed to regret it!

'You are an idiot! You can't say that in a warrior's way, because you can't say it in a warrior's way, ah!

That's why I risked my life coming to you. I'm just a skinny kid.

'You're making my life into a thin skin! You just pissed it off!

I told you, I'm the only one who's on your side.

'You idiot! It's just that Ichigo has turned them all against each other!

 Yuto's cheeks are soaked with a large amount of tears.

''I can't do this anymore! Let's cancel the blind date!

"...What? Are you f*cking kidding me? The only thing I would die for is a party.

 Ichigo's eyes light up.

'Why? I'm really going to die!

'Canceling a blind date would be a stain on my life! You know what? No matter what happens, we'll do a blind date! You'll be joining us, even if you're dead, okay?

(It's something........there's something wrong with Ichigo's eyes.

 Yuto gasps at Ichigo's tremendous resolve and turns back to the angry women behind him.

''Hii! That eye over there is in trouble too!

'Masato, listen to me! The plan is, "Be safe and lose! Duh!
