In recent days, Kuzeha felt that someone else had joined the ranks of those following him.
That's right, someone else!
Since he had displayed his strength in multiple battles, it was natural that he would attract attention.
The Hero Association, Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical High School, the Council of Swordsmen, and others had openly extended invitations.
And in the shadows, there was no shortage of intelligence agents from forces like Metal Knight and the Bronze Tree!
Originally, Kuzeha planned to maintain a policy of mutual non-interference with them.
But some of those audacious fellows actually dared to conduct surveillance at the orphanage!
This could not be tolerated!
Kuzeha's response was simple—he directly used Tsukuyomi to deal with it.
Paying attention to these nobodies would actually be the greatest honor for such ants!
Using genjutsu to interfere with their perception!
This resulted in these people's long-term surveillance yielding almost nothing!
Even intelligence gathered on consecutive days could be completely contradictory.
However, this particular stalker was quite different...
Outside Sobu High School.
Kuzeha's figure disappeared into the school building.
The light blonde side-ponytailed girl removed her sunglasses, revealing sapphire-like crystalline eyes.
Her appearance had a somewhat mixed-blood feel, with refined features!
She wore the classic loose bubble socks of a gal and had tied the upper half of her uniform around her waist.
Her figure could only be described as somewhat disappointing—perhaps only an A-cup, and she would pad when necessary!
The girl hid at the street corner, recording Kuzeha's movements in her opened notebook.
"Today at eight o'clock in the morning, entered school."
Besides this, Ai Hayasaka had gained quite a lot these past few days.
"Commutes with his sister Kuzeha Sakura and brings a bento lunch."
"After class, occasionally goes to kendo club for training, but it's completely impossible to see what's happening inside."
"On the way home from school, reads 'Love Metronome.'"
Originally, these past few days should have been the dates for the joint charity activity between Shuchiin Academy and Sobu High School.
However, due to Boros's invasion, the activity was postponed.
The specific implementation time would need to be renegotiated.
Ai Hayasaka planned to collect as much intelligence as possible about Kuzeha before then.
Combined with information obtained from her mother, Nao Hayasaka, she would figure out Kuzeha!
Thanks to serving her master, Kaguya Shinomiya, the Shinomiya family's eldest daughter.
Kaguya always had Ai Hayasaka devise strategies and also handle the aftermath, cleaning up the mess.
So whether fortunately or unfortunately.
Ai Hayasaka was more mentally mature than her peers.
In Nao Hayasaka's view, how much cunning could a teenage boy possess?
Having her daughter Ai Hayasaka take action would be easy pickings!
Once Ai Hayasaka became Kuzeha's little girlfriend.
Then she could whisper in his ear from time to time, and influencing his decisions would be effortless!
Even if they couldn't reverse the Shinomiya family's decline.
At least they could pull the Hayasaka family up when the time was right!
Merging under the big tree of the Yukinoshita Foundation, so they wouldn't be dragged down by the Shinomiya family instead.
In the kendo club where Ai Hayasaka couldn't see.
It had become a secret place undetectable by any surveillance equipment.
Not to mention outsiders who had infiltrated the school, even the club members had been sent away early!
As usual, Saeko Busujima and Asuna Yuuki, the two girls, were patiently waiting!
They held wooden swords and had already begun independent training before Kuze arrived.
"Hand!"
"Head!"
"Body!"
The two constantly changed their striking points.
It looked like normal sparring, but it wasn't safe at all for ordinary people!
Each time the girls clashed their sword blades, they produced waves of energy.
The sharp sword momentum that dispersed also possessed lethal power!
If these were ordinary wooden swords, they would shatter from the force during the first clash!
After receiving Kuzeha's enlightening guidance in [teaching and instruction], their breathing techniques had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Now, if they joined the Council of Swordsmen, their strength might only be below a few people like Nichirin and Atomic Samurai!
However, compared to their transcendent swordsmanship, these bunny girl outfits were somewhat unconventional.
Black fishnet stockings covered the wearer's legs.
And low-cut clothing that completely exposed the shoulders.
There were even elements different from Sakurajima Mai's normal bunny girl outfit.
The degree of provocation was even more extreme!
It wasn't even following the form-fitting, slimming route.
Instead, the smooth back and midriff were completely exposed—in one word: revealing!
This was a style that Saeko Busujima had spent great effort to get her hands on.
The key areas featured black hearts!
Perfectly embodying the fantasy of "still hiding half her face behind her pipa"!
Kuzeha called it expert-level!
Even Saeko Busujima, who had overcome the embarrassment of special instruction the earliest, felt it was too provocative.
"Kuze-kun, do you think it's... cute?"
Saeko Busujima's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, very concerned about Kuzeha's evaluation.
As long as Kuzeha was satisfied, she was willing to go all out!
"Of course, Saeko, you're what makes this outfit even better!"
They had agreed beforehand.
In public, Kuzeha would omit surnames and call them by their first names.
But in private, he would pursue a sense of distance to maintain excitement, addressing them as "senpai."
Kuzeha gave a thumbs up and praised repeatedly.
Asuna Yuuki immediately surrounded him as well.
The bunny ear decorations on both their heads swayed up and down, adding even more cute appeal!
