"Ouch!"
Seeing Shinnosuke get hit on the head by Hiratsuka's seemingly powerful fist, Eriri was stunned for a moment, then immediately lunged towards him.
"Mas—... Shinnosuke! Are you alright?!"
She almost called him 'Master' again, but now Eriri didn't care anymore. She glared fiercely at Hiratsuka, showing her small canine teeth.
"Why did you hit Shinnosuke!"
There it was! Eriri the loyal dog's loyalty in protecting her master!
Protested by Eriri, Hiratsuka also felt a little guilty. There was no way she could say that because Shinnosuke had taken the initiative to approach her, making her heart pound fiercely, but then realizing that Shinnosuke was her student, her heart was in turmoil, and she wanted to vent her frustration on this brat.
Besides, this brat's head felt really good to hit, so she unconsciously hit him.
"That's right, Shizuka-chan, why did you hit me! And why does your fist feel similar to Mom's? Is it because you're both oba-san (middle-aged woman)?"
'O-ba-san!?'
This time Shinnosuke had truly stirred up a hornet's nest. Hiratsuka's expression instantly crumbled after being called oba-san, her whole body began to emit a black aura, her killing intent almost solidifying into a tangible form!
This time, even Eriri consciously stood aside and made way for Hiratsuka.
'Sorry, Master, just blame yourself!'
'Don't worry, even if Master is paralyzed in bed, I will take care of you for life.'
In Hiratsuka, Shinnosuke saw the shadow of his mother, Misae. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead. He had inadvertently spoken what was in his heart.
Fortunately, he hadn't said everything. If he had said Hiratsuka would become like Misae with a big butt and flat chest, he definitely wouldn't have been able to leave the Service Club alive today.
Ora ora ora!
Hiratsuka threw a rapid punch, but this time Shinnosuke didn't just resign himself to fate, but nimbly dodged Hiratsuka's blow.
Muda muda muda!
"Shizuka-chan! I was wrong! You're not an oba-san! If you can forgive me, I can go on a date with you!"
After a moment of heartbeat, the shame and anger grew even greater.
"Who wants to go on a date with you!"
"Help me! Yukinon!"
Yukino, who was watching the commotion from the side, shook her head.
'Calling Hiratsuka-sensei an oba-san is indeed a bit much.'
She had already acknowledged Shinnosuke as her friend, but this guy only thought about limited-edition biscuits? Wasn't she more attractive than biscuits?
In the end, Shinnosuke still couldn't avoid Hiratsuka's iron fist, and obediently let her vent her anger. As a result, a large bump appeared on his head again.
"Alright, I've received the registration forms. Please all of you help me correct this brat's personality! He's really annoying."
After saying that, Hiratsuka clutched the registration forms tightly and angrily left the Service Club.
"Riri, you were too cruel just now!"
"This was also unavoidable, Hiratsuka-sensei is too scary."
Looking at Shinnosuke, Eriri wanted to bite him again. Calling an unmarried adult woman an oba-san was indeed a bit much. If he had to say it, it should have been a few more years later.
"I'll ask Nee-san to help me prepare the limited-edition biscuits. Today's club activities end here."
Glancing at Shinnosuke with a look as if she were looking at trash, Yukino left the Service Club.
Eriri was also reminded that she had to prepare limited-edition biscuits for her master this weekend.
"The driver at home should be here soon, I'm leaving too!"
Looking at the time, the driver should be arriving soon. Eriri saw that Shinnosuke had recovered and the bump on his head had also disappeared, only then did she calmly say goodbye and leave.
"Then, see you tomorrow."
Utaha also got up and said goodbye. Eriri had left, she had no reason to stay.
"Megumi, want to go home together?"
"Sorry, I have to go to my older brother's house today, so we're not going in the same direction."
Shinnosuke nodded. It seemed he had to go home alone today. His pocket money was almost gone because he had been too extravagant for the past few days. He still had to find a way to make Yukino 'meow' at him.
Or completing Hiratsuka's task was also fine. The 10% stake in Fushigawa Publishing should also generate a lot of money.
But why couldn't Hiratsuka get a boyfriend and always failed in matchmaking? What was hindering her luck in love?
Shinnosuke looked at the task description, for the time being there were no clues.
From his interactions with Hiratsuka, Shinnosuke could basically conclude that the reason Hiratsuka always failed in matchmaking wasn't just because of her personality and habits, but more because of bad luck, or that Hiratsuka's character was just like that.
A single woman whose personality was rough, slightly prone to violence.
It would be surprising if she could successfully get a boyfriend.
However, the system issued this task, indicating that there might be hidden secrets within it, he had to investigate it properly.
Eriri's task should be solvable this weekend. The problem was the simplest.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Kyoshin Meichi-ryu style, Musashi Dojo.
"Sensei, Nohara-kun said he might not have time this weekend, he can only come to the dojo for practice next week."
Kojima immediately came to the Musashi Dojo after finishing kendo club activities.
Because he had just entered school, the upcoming recruitment of club members kept Kojima busy until today when he finally had time to come to the dojo.
"Um, that's fine, next week is next week."
Musashi Giken nodded. His junior disciple happened to be unable to come this week. He could use this time to invite kendo masters from other dojos to jointly witness his junior disciple's kendo match in testing Shinnosuke's abilities.
Since the Musashi Dojo had such a genius as its successor, he definitely had to announce it to the world, so that everyone would know that the Musashi Dojo would not decline due to his hand injury, but would be led by Shinnosuke's arrival to reach the pinnacle of kendo!
"Kojima, what do you think of Shinnosuke?"
"Nohara-kun is a kendo genius rare in a hundred years, no! A thousand years! He will definitely be able to lead our dojo to glory!"
Kojima was the person who understood Giken the most.
The situation of Shuchi'in Academy's kendo club was similar to the Musashi Dojo's current situation, a big name but lacking in strength. The arrival of Nohara Shinnosuke and Busujima Saeko would soon change this situation.
Would he, the president of the kendo club, be unhappy and feel his popularity was being taken away? Just kidding! Being highly regarded by a great person was the greatest enjoyment!
Just needing to cheer for Shinnosuke and Saeko to win the championship, wouldn't he as the president already be happy enough?
Similarly, for the Musashi Dojo, as long as they nurtured Shinnosuke well, they would become a first-class dojo along with Shinnosuke's growth. Was there anything better than this?
Kojima and Giken exchanged glances, as if they had already seen the bright future of the Musashi Dojo...
