Chapter 77

While Tsukasa thought about going to another world and getting stronger, he almost forgot the fundamental problem that he needed to solve. He was in a relationship with five women, and among them, the four of them were strong.

‘Kagami is the best after all…’

Tsukasa let out a sigh, thinking that Kagami was the best among the girl since this girl was harmless and cute, and she didn’t mind becoming his underground lover. It was also the reason why he often pampered her when they were in the clubroom of the newspaper club.

Still, Stella, Touka, Kanata, Kiriko, and Nene were also good too.

‘What about Kurono?’

Tsukasa wasn’t sure, but he didn’t really have a hobby of attacking a married woman. However, it would be different if he was attacked since he was just a helpless D-Rank Blazer.

Leaving Kurono aside, Tsukasa really needed to think of a method to solve this problem since he was afraid once they knew what happened, they might attack him without hesitation.

‘Kanata should be okay…’ Tsukasa thought since Kanata accepted his relationship with Touka, he wasn’t sure whether Touka could accept his relationship with Kanata.

As for Stella, Nene, Kiriko, and Kagami, Tsukasa was afraid that the entire Tokyo might be razed by all the girls as they tried to stab him.

Tsukasa was thinking about the solution to his problem as he drank a coke.

With Kagami’s information, Tsukasa knew a place where he could sit in a quiet place. He sat on the bench with a slightly depressed expression, wondering what he needed to do.

“What are you doing?”

Hearing this familiar cold voice, Tsukasa looked up and was dumbfounded when he saw Shizuku. “Since when are you here?” He wondered whether he was so nervous about his problem that he didn’t realize someone had appeared before him.

“What are you thinking?” Shizuku asked.

Tsukasa looked at Shizuku and said, “I’m thinking that the Kurogane family might send an assassin to me after I beat up their princess.”

“….” Shizuku.

“Are you here alone? Where are Ikki and Alice?” Tsukasa looked around and didn’t see anyone besides Shizuku.

“I’m here alone,” Shizuku said flatly.

Tsukasa looked at Shizuku weirdly and asked, “Is this okay?”

“What do you mean?” Shizuku asked with some confusion.

“Aren’t you afraid that your Onii-sama will misunderstand?” Tsukasa asked.

“…” Shizuku.

While they might not announce their relationship, Tsukasa knew that Shizuku and Ikki were in a relationship, especially when he could smell Ikki’s smell from Shizuku’s body.

When Tsukasa thought about Ikki’s smell on Shizuku’s body, he thought about Kurono’s smell that didn’t have the smell of her husband.

‘Is the relationship between husband and wife bad?’

Tsukasa wasn’t sure, but it had nothing to do with him.

“So what’s wrong, Shizuku?” Tsukasa looked at Shizuku again and asked, “You don’t come here alone just because you want to see me, right?”

Shizuku pouted and felt embarrassed somehow.

“Confession?”

“Of course not!” Shizuku felt that she had high blood pressure right now. She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself, then asked, “Say, Tsukasa, can… can you teach me?” After she had lost to Tsukasa, she had been thinking for a while and felt that this was the best way for her to get stronger.

While Tsukasa might have defeated her, he still supported her relationship with Ikki and definitely wouldn’t stop them if they wanted to marry.

However, Shizuku knew that the real problem was her family, and without a doubt, her family would stop what they were trying to do, which was why she needed to become stronger, getting stronger, so no one could say anything about their relationship.

“Teach you?” Tsukasa felt weird and asked, “What kind of thing can I teach you?” Frankly, he didn’t even have time to teach someone. After all, he was busy with his own training, girlfriends, and a few hours of managing a business.

Luckily, while Tsukasa had the majority of shares in his pharmaceutical company, there were still many people that held the shares of his company, including Kanata’s family.

As for whether Tsukasa would lose control over his company or not, he didn’t need to worry since he was confident in his skill in management and research.

However, because of that, Tsukasa didn’t have time to train Shizuku, and he wanted to reject her.

“You can teach me to become stronger,” Shizuku said without hesitation.

“…Why don’t you ask your brother?” Tsukasa asked.

“Onii-sama is busy.” Shizuku shook her head and said, “He has a lot of burden on his shoulder, and I can’t trouble him anymore. That’s why I hope that you can teach me how to become stronger.” She didn’t hesitate to bow her head since everything was for her love to her older brother.

The young man in front of her could defeat her in millions of ways, and Shizuku knew that as long as he nodded, she could become stronger.

“Sorry, I can’t do it.” Tsukasa shook his head and said, “But I can give you advice.”

“Advice?” Shizuku, who was disappointed, suddenly looked at Tsukasa curiously.

“First, try to learn medicine and human body knowledge as much as possible.” Tsukasa looked at Shizuku and said, “The potential of the water manipulation ability is huge. Do you know Kiriko Yakushi?”

“Kiriko Yakushi?” Shizuku thought for a moment and asked, “The White Robed Knight? The best doctor in Japan?”

“Yes, that one.” Tsukasa nodded and said, “Her power is also a water manipulation like you, but she’s stronger than you.”

“Really?” Shizuku was curious since she had never seen Kiriko Yakushi. She didn’t doubt Tsukasa’s words since there was no point in lying to her.

“Yes.” Tsukasa nodded and said, “She can manipulate other people’s own blood, and she can also manipulate the trillions of cells inside herself in order to turn herself into the water itself, as such, she can repair life-threatening injuries dealt with herself before and even manipulate the air around her causing opponents to drown on land.”

“…”

Shizuku felt dizzy somehow since she had never imagined someone could develop a water manipulation ability to such into such a dangerous ability.

“You think I’m lying?” Tsukasa asked with a smile.

Shizuku quickly lowered her head since she must admit that this guy was really attractive, but hearing his question, she shook her head and said, “But I have never thought that someone can even do that.”

“The world is vast, and there are many things that you don’t know.” Tsukasa shook his head and said, “Then do you understand why I have told you to focus on medicine or the human body while you can develop a technique like an absolute zero or steam explosion?”

“Why?” Shizuku was dumbfounded and only realized that Tsukasa told her to focus on the medicine-related ability to develop.

“Remember the name of your brother’s Noble Art?” Tsukasa asked.

“Ittou Shura? What’s wrong with it?” Shizuku asked with some confusion.

“That ability is powerful and all, but by forcibly ignoring the survival instincts, it’ll damage his body. It might be now but in the future. If he keeps using that Noble Art recklessly, he’ll die young,” Tsukasa said and stood up.

Shizuku couldn’t utter words since she also knew that Tsukasa was right, but she just tried to avoid the fact before her.

However…

“You can’t stop him since it is the path that he has chosen,” Tsukasa said.

“…”

Tsukasa was right. Shizuku knew that she couldn’t stop Ikki even though she knew what Ikki did was dangerous. “How about you? Don’t you have a similar technique?” She thought about the breathing technique that Tsukasa used on his match with Kurono and with her before.

“You’re worried about me now?” Tsukasa asked with a smile.

Shizuku was embarrassed and said with a blush, “Don’t misunderstand! I just want to save my Onii-sama!”

“Unfortunately, my method is impossible to copy since my body is special,” Tsukasa said simply.

‘Special body…’ Shizuku wasn’t sure what kind of body that was, but with this appearance alone, she felt his existence was special. However, this made her despair since she knew that there was no way for her to save her older brother.

Tsukasa felt that it was enough, so he stood up and patted Shizuku’s shoulder. “You can’t stop him, but you can take care of him, so try to become the best doctor who can treat any illness and problems on the body easily.”

Hearing Tsukasa’s words, Shizuku was dumbfounded, then turned, looking at his figure that slowly walked away. She took a deep breath and said, “Thank you!”

Tsukasa only waved his hand as he left.

Shizuku clenched her fists and had made up her mind. ‘I’m not going to lose next time!’ She was going to become even stronger, so her relationship could be saved, and she could also help her older brother.

However…

Shizuku must admit that her impression of Tsukasa had changed from a beautiful lump of meat into… Cough! Cough!

Shizuku quickly walked away since, as Tsukasa had said before, she didn’t want to be misunderstood by her older brother, and she felt that she needed to meet Ikki right away since she was afraid that something might happen to her heart.
