A Turbulent Competition Once we went through a passage towards the competition's venue, the area was bigger than I had expected. The area was about the same as the school's gym, but unlike it, a second floor seating arrangement covered all four directions. From what I heard, it seems that it can accommodate more than… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 4 Part 1

At last, the appointed day had arrived. I put everything into order by 10 am and quickly headed towards the venue. The bout would start at noon and the location was the Getsushiyoukan HQ, which would take about thirty minutes to get there by foot…the plan was to meet up with everyone there. Getsushiyoukan would… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 3 Part 6

Aogasaki Rei, the stoic, samurai-like swordswoman. She's the "Swordswoman of the Beheading Dance," an upright, gallant, cool Yamato Nadeshiko-like person...and now for the first time, I'm seeing her petrified from shock. "Ehehe, I'm cheerleader Ryuuga today!" For the first few seconds, Ryuuga didn't notice Aogasaki. She wore a frilly short skirt that gave occasional peaks… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 3 Part 5

It was the next day. The battle against Getsushiyoukan was set for tomorrow in the afternoon. In order to clean up after the mess Taotie made during his speech and conduct, I headed towards the Aogasaki residence. When I sent a message to her in advance, she unfortunately sent a cheerful reply of "I'll be… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 3 Part 4

It was the next day. At last, I was free for the day, so I ate soumen for lunch and went outside. Given all that happened, I wanted some time to wind down by myself. Hence, I decided that my location would be a cafe near a train station of Susuhama, a neighboring town. (Come… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 3 Part 3

It was the day after the incident in the school infirmary. I left my home in the morning and headed towards the park in order to meet with Elmira. Since we can't use the kendo hall in the school today, we decided to practice outside. There are three days until the match. There's also one… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 3 Part 2

Non-Stop Encounters It was the day after the third conference had somehow ended. I headed towards the school in the morning, where Yukimiya was diligently practicing her sword. The kendo club wasn't practicing today, so the kendo hall was vacant. "Eh! Tah!" Nearly two hours passed, but Yukimiya continued swinging a bamboo sword without a… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 3 Part 1

We took a ten minute break. The conference, which had derailed, reopened after resuming control. The two "Evil Spirits" were disgruntled, keeping silent while occasionally looking at each other in the eye. This was supposed to be a serious discussion about whether humanity and the "Apostles of Hell" could coexist, though...I'd like people to be… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 2 Part 6

It's been two days since the mistake that was the swimsuit showdown. The moment Mion had finally calmed down, another critical moment for me had arisen. ──There's going to be a third conference between the protagonist and "Evil Spirit." Though I'm exhausted after the turmoil caused by Taotie, I've been allowed to attend this time.… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 2 Part 5

After separating for a short while, we regrouped in front of a station and took the train to a pool in a neighboring town. At first, Aogasaki and Mion had faces of disapproval in response to the method of the duel. However, I eventually managed to coax them through the power of persuasion. It's not… Continue reading Is it Tough Being a Friend? v3 Chapter 2 Part 4
