Chapter 54 – With the Giant in Front
As a result, I didn’t score.
It wasn’t because he hit with the lattice part of the bamboo sword that could feed the effective lattice, but because he hit with the blade part right below it.
To put it simply, it was a range control failure.
After that, I couldn’t even attack properly, and I lost by giving 2 points.
I couldn’t quite figure out what it was and ended up with two blows to the waist, but it seemed like he was really attacking me.
‘Too bad.’
But it was refreshing to the heart.
Why? It’s just that I couldn’t score, because I gave Lenka a proper shot,
Because that’s how I fulfilled my purpose of becoming the main character of the event.
Lenka will imprint me more deeply in his head than Tetsuya, who fought with a serious look.
That’s it.
Anyway it’s amazing
I had never even done kendo or even a similar martial art, let alone kendo.
Is this the main character’s talent? Too sweet
“Comrade Matsuda.”
At Chinami’s call, I, who was cleaning her hukou with her in her storage room, raised her head.
“Yes?”
“It was a waste. I was able to win a fight against Lenka…”
Chinami’s voice was somewhat subdued.
She’s not jealous because I almost scored a grade she didn’t.
Chinami isn’t that narrow inside her.
That reaction was probably… Seeing me slapping Lenka’s back, and contemplating whether or not to teach it in earnest.
I almost clung to Chinami’s side doing her daddy’s leg.
Then he looked at her and smiled at her.
“Thanks to Master.”
“Yes…? Is it because of me?”
“I saw Master attack Inoo-senpai’s waist during the second match. I tried to imitate it, albeit clumsily.”
“Is that so…? How did you see that…? Are you a genius…”
“I’ll give you a massage in return.”
“Yes…? No… I didn’t do anything… Nghg…!”
Chinami’s cute moan as I gently grabbed the back of her neck.
From the nape of her neck, you can feel the sad little hairs.
Let’s gently press it with her fingertips and give her a caress that stands for her massage.
“Huh…”
Chinami let out her characteristic drooping sound.
Her head, whose power had been released, was moving back and forth depending on the direction I applied the power to.
The back of her neck is an erogenous zone. The reactions are really interesting.
“Ouch…!”
Chinami, who gritted her teeth, pulled her body aside and freed her from my hand.
With her flushed face, she scolded me.
“Brother…! I told you…! Grabbing someone’s throat without permission…”
“Are we guys?”
“Mu, of course it’s between a teacher and a teacher… But this isn’t right…!”
Isn’t it right? That sounds kind of nasty.
“As a disciple, I was just trying to give Master a massage.”
“I’ll take only my heart…! In the future, ask first…!”
“All right.”
As she showed her resigned attitude, Chinami took a deep breath and moved her butt.
So she sat next to me again, bent her neck back and forth, and cleaned her rug.
Chinami concentrates while licking her lips to see if she remembers the massage from earlier or if she thinks of something to eat.
I held out her phone to her.
“Please give me one contact number, Master.”
“Your contact information? Oh, that’s right… If you have any questions about kendo, you should ask.”
I’m not going to ask you a single one of those things unless you mention them first.
We’ll just chat and play.
Chinami pressed her number with her dainty hand and handed her phone back to me.
“Your potential is huge. Starting tomorrow, it would be nice to increase the proportion of upper-tier taxes. Instead, you need to learn the basics thoroughly. Since you had no experience and didn’t know how to stop properly, you couldn’t move from the second match onwards.”
“I see. But did you acknowledge me?”
“It was an attack that had to be acknowledged. But you should never be complacent. You know?”
“Yes. I’m glad to have been recognized by Master, can I buy you some ice cream?”
“What flavor? I… Oh! No… I’m going to buy you some peach flavored ice cream tomorrow, because I deserve it as well as a celebration. Junior, just enjoy your meal.”
“Are there any other flavors?”
“I like peaches.”
“Aren’t you asking about my taste?”
“There is no one who does not like peaches. I’m sure your juniors will like it too.”
Chinami thinks that if she does business, she will do well.
If you sell hard with that innocent face, there will be no one who won’t buy.
I want to excite her by touching the back of her neck again, but Chinami is still in the early stages of capture.
Continued stimulation can only cause repulsion, so bear with it.

After leaving the kendo club, I saw Lenka and Tetsuya having a quiet conversation.
It was almost always Lenka who spoke, and she seemed to be giving advice.
Coming closer to two such people, Lenka crossed her arms and she asked.
“What about Chinami?”
Her voice is quite monotonous, as if she is trying hard to appear calm.
“I went to the bathroom for a while. Are you going back together?”
“I will go with you today. And… I apologize to you.”
“What?”
“It’s a map match, but I beat you too easily.”
That wasn’t to build up a crumpled ego, it was sincere.
It was also an apology to myself, filled with rebuke to myself for losing control and pushing me.
Shrugging her shoulders, I passed Lenka’s apology indifferently.
“Does not matter.”
“… Then, I’m glad. And you… Don’t try to teach Chinami weird things.”
“Anything strange?”
“You have that. Something like breathing… There is no breathing method like that in the world.”
It’s a skill of your favorite character, but what kind of breathing?
Why do you pretend not to know?
If you go to Comiket, you’ll get an autograph in front of your favorite writer…
“Did you hear that? How?”
“Ooh, I overheard… Don’t do it anyway.”
“I just said it as a joke.”
“Chinami is such a naive person that if you don’t tell her she’s joking, she’ll believe what others say.”
“Then I’ll tell you later that it was a joke. OK?”
“…. Okay. You did a good job today… I’ll give you enough guidance next time you sparring.”
Next Dalian? Let alone a map, it will only boil inside?
A picture of being frustrated by saying that you can never win against me, a vicious male, and accepting you as a predator…
Make it sometime
“I know. I am going.”
“Yes. Good bye. Miura, you too.”
Tetsuya responded by bowing politely to Lenka.
As I parted ways with Lenka and walked to her parking lot, I glanced at Tetsuya, whose shoulders were drooping.
We challenged together, but he showed a bad figure, and I showed the opposite, so it seems that his self-esteem is dropping.
You have talent in kendo too, so try your best.
It’s better if you explode your inferiority complex in the middle.
I punch Tetsuya’s back! And hit
“I have no idea why I am doing this today. Spread her shoulders, bitch.”
Tetsuya shook his head, frowning and contracting his back muscles, as if it was quite painful.
“Okay. Thank you matsuda But didn’t it hurt too much?”
“Does this hurt? If you fall on the road, you will break your bones.”
“That’s not… Huh? It’s Miyuki.”
Looking straight ahead, Tetsuya’s expression brightened.
Following her gaze, Miyuki, who had been waiting for us in the parking lot, was walking towards us.
“Matsuda-kun! Why are you hitting Tetsuya-kun?”
She approached her with a voice that did not contain any hint of reprimand and pulled her head away.
I waved one hand as if I was fed up and asked Tetsuya as if threatening.
“Did I hit you?”
“Oh, I did hit you, but…”
“You hit me?”
“J-I didn’t hit you seriously… Just as a joke to encourage you…”
Hearing that answer, I turned to Miyuki.
“Is that okay?”
“Matsuda-kun. If you harden your expression like that, who’s going to be honest with you?”
“The mother-in-law nags again. I’ll have to cover her mouth or something…”
“Why are you covering my mouth? If you want to stop it, Matsuda-kun’s ears… Kyaaagh!”
Miyuki screamed and pulled her body back.
It was because I reached out my hand to her and tried to grab her.
With her smile on her face, she ran away to the front of my car, and when I opened the door with the smart key, she quickly got into the passenger seat.
I clenched her tongue and complained to Tetsuya.
“He gets more playful by the day. Is it like that for you too?”
“…. It’s worse than that for me.”
Know. So, from now on, I plan to ban every joke on you one by one.
“You must be tired.”
“Not really… Isn’t it fun?”
“Is it? Let’s go.”
“Okay. I’ll get a good ride today.”
**
On the way home, Tetsuya didn’t tell me about my performance, even if he died soon.
He didn’t want to exalt me in front of Miyuki.
I put him down, snorting inwardly at Tetsuya’s timid and laughable defiance.
Afterwards, as soon as they were alone with Miyuki, he grabbed her hand and put on the clasp.
Miyuki, who laughed at my behavior like this, said something that was not even in her mind.
“Don’t drive one-handed…”
“Shall I take it off then?”
“No, I didn’t mean to take it off… And Matsuda-kun, why are you hitting people? You promised me not to use violence.”
Miyuki talks about hitting Tetsuya on the back earlier.
I wasn’t really arguing, I was just acting like that because I didn’t want the conversation to be cut off.
“I encouraged him to cheer up because he was struggling. Didn’t you see Miura today? Did you think about something else while talking to us?”
“Well… He doesn’t look good… I’ll ask what’s going on today, and I’ll let Matsuda-kun know too.”
“I’m not really curious, so just do whatever you know. Are the preparations for the cultural festival going well?”
“Yeah, I’m almost done. Even the kids who dressed up had a hard time… Matsuda-kun always played, so during the cultural festival he calmly checks tickets. I know I will get scolded if I leak anywhere.”
“Did Miura play all the time?”
“Tetsuya-kun helped us during lunch break. And they dress up as ghosts.”
“Okay? What are you going to dress up as?”
“Originally, I was going to do Shuten-douji, but I didn’t think it would suit me, so I decided on Namahage.”
“Namah? That red-faced goblin carrying a kitchen knife?”
“Yes.”
I was going to make it into a kappa… But I was too indifferent.
I’m sorry, Tetsuya.
When I was almost at Miyuki’s house, I went to a deserted alley and stopped the car.
Then I pressed my face close to Miyuki’s face.
She made eye contact with me, blinking her eyes, and as time passed, her face became blush.
“…Why are you staring at me like that…?”
“Can I not look at you?”
“That, it’s not…”
“Are you going to have an after party? Because the class president?”
“Yes…”
“Have a good time and call before it’s too late then.”
“Call me? Matsuda-kun, isn’t there a party…?”
“I’m not going.”
“Why…? It would be nice to go together… Matsuda-kun doesn’t have many friends… Wouldn’t it be better to make a lot of them at this time…?”
I smiled softly at Miyuki, who was worried about her, and opened her mouth just as her throat swayed.
With the low-pitched voice that Miyuki likes, very warm.
“Call. Understand?”
She replied, now completely bowing her head to her new blushing face.
“Ah, okay… I’ll call you… But what are you going to do…?”
I paused for a moment and gently scratched the back of Miyuki’s hand as if tickling it.
“Hey, don’t do this…”
I put her strength in her hand and ignored her trying to dissuade me. I told her calmly.
“Come with me that day.”
“Two people…?”
“Uh. Two people.”
Having said this, Miyuki must have noticed it vaguely.
If not now, I’ll go home and think it over and figure out what I mean.
Of course, there was no certainty.
Growing up at home that day, I didn’t say it openly.
However, I will make up my mind and prepare just in case.
“Yeah… I’ll do that…”
Hearing Miyuki’s answer as she wiggled her interlaced fingers, I placed my hand on the back of her hand and smiled.
Then Miyuki swallowed her breath, and she said.
“… Are you going to just go…?”
“What would you like me to do?”
“Here…”
She presses her index finger against her own lips.
Fed up with that blatant action, I brought her face closer as I looked at her almond-shaped nails with shallow polish.
