Kazuya thought for a while and said: "A little, but it should be fine. No one will mind."
Haruka shouldn't have to bear so much at her age, but the situation was indeed special, which made people sympathize. So if he could help, then help.
Haruka thought there silently for a while. She really wanted to go. She glanced at Kazuya and said, "my family affairs always cause trouble for you. Is there anything you want me to do?"
Recently, she kept putting circles in her diary and felt that she couldn't always owe favors to him. This guy usually behaves very annoyingly, but his character is quite good. He always helps me when I'm in trouble. Such people are really rare.
Kazuya thought about it and didn't come out with any idea what he could ask her to do. He was just helping out, so it was not a big deal for him. However, looking at Haruka's stubborn face, he knew that she had a weird temper. He joked: "Don't take it to heart. If you really feel sorry, just do a somersault for me."
Why are you so serious about such a big deal? This favor is only worth a somersault!
Haruka looked at him in surprise and her face quickly darkened. She put her head on the ground and turned over. She didn't stop after turning one somersault and seemed to be planning to turn more somersaults around Kazuya.
Kazuya was stunned and quickly stopped her, saying repeatedly: "Okay, okay. I was just joking!"
Doesn't this little radish have any sense of humor? I'm just kidding, if you scold me, this matter will be over. Who told you to really turn...
He regretted making a joke, but Haruka sat there with her lips pursed, "I have turned somersaults for you as a thank you gift for causing you trouble!"
Why does this damn guy always like to make fun of me but I still can't scold him? I really want to participate in the competition, but I can't ignore my younger brothers and sisters, so I have to accept this insult!
Kazuya was speechless, then said seriously: "I received it. You can go to the competition with confidence. I guarantee that there will be no problems in the store."
He felt that the personalities of himself and this little radish were incompatible, and the two of them could never be peace to each other. However, he was not afraid of her. He really meant no harm. If she caused trouble again, he would hold her down and give her another beating.
The next few days were uneventful. It seemed that Haruka had acquiesced to endure the insult once in exchange for his help.
Kazuya was immersed in studying there during the break. Suddenly, his back felt itchy. He turned around and saw Haruka standing at the back door of the classroom.
She didn't say anything and just stood there hesitating. Kazuya was a little strange. He looked around and thought she was coming to find him, so he put down his book and walked over, "Do you have anything with me?"
Haruka stood there with her head lowered and looked at her toes, "Nothing!"
Nothing? What are you doing standing here? The exam is coming soon. If you don't hurry up and review your courses, you won't have time at night.
Kazuya said strangely: "Who are you looking for? If really nothing, don't run around and take care of your feet."
"I like to stand here. Is this your home?" She looked up at him and seemed angry, so shee said something unhappy and left.
Kazuya couldn't figure it out. He cursed this crazy girl in his stomach and went back to sit down. But Haruka came again the next class and stood at the back door and continued to hesitate.
Kazuya was convinced there was no one else with such a character as her. Can't you just do something decisively?
He walked over again and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Haruka stood there with her head lowered. Kazuya couldn't bear it anymore and asked tentatively: "Is it because KEC employed a master to make sashimi?"
KEC had gone crazy recently. It brought in a chef from Kansai who was known as a sashimi celebrity to perform live and started to promote this meal. However, Kazuya didn't feel that their business was affected. He had never considered the opponent KEC as a competitor. The reception capacity of Pure Flavor House was limited, which could only accommodate more than a hundred diners in one night. He had no control over where the guests who they couldn't entertain go.
Kazuya suspected that Haruka was considering compete with KEC again and reminded her: "Don't be too greedy. Now the income is already good." This little radish had a strong desire to hold grudges. Even though she knew she couldn't do it, she still expressed many times that she would only be happy when the opponent bankcrupted.
Haruka tilted her head and whispered: "That's not what I want to say!"
"What else?" Kazuya didn't understand even more. There had been nothing special recently.
Haruka hesitated for a while and asked reluctantly: "Do you have time after school in the afternoon?"
He suddenly became alert. Could it be a date invitation? But thinking about her character, it was impossible. She probably wouldn't consider such a thing so early. She would most likely make arragement for all her sisters and Toutaro before she considers herself. But just in case, he still said: "Let's talk about what do you want to do first and then whether I have time."
"If you are free after school, can you... can you teach me... teach me..."
"Teach you what?"
Haruka suddenly softened like a deflated rubber ball and whispered: "Can you teach me swordsmanship skills? If I go to participate in the Jade Dragon Banner in August, I want to bring back at least a big prize, but that is a national competition..."
There was no other ways for her. Her father was seriously ill and would definitely not be able to give her guidance. People like Kanae were not as good as her and the effect of sparring with them was limited. She had also seen how powerful the players from Private Kinsei Academy were, which should be the normal level of the national competition.
She knew that based on her own strength, she could be called "xx tiger" in the county. But if she went to the national competition, she might return empty-handed. Losing once is enough, she didn't want to lose the second time. She had to find a way to improve her winning rate.
In order to regain her "Sword Heart" last time, she fought with Kazuya and had to admit in her heart that Kazuya might be a little better than her in swordsmanship. Now that she had thought about it and it seemed that she could only come to him for guidance.
However, she still felt embarrassed, so she was not happy at all. But Kazuya finally figured it out and felt like a sudden enlightenment! It turned out that this was the reason. This girl wanted to win but was afraid of not being able to win, so she was preparing for special training.
However, his time was quite precious, so he hesitated: "Can't you let Haruna teach you?"
Even though Haruna was doing foolish things all day long, she was actually very powerful in combat, which thanked to Naotaka's true inheritance. He told Kazuya more than once that it would be great if the second daughter was a boy."
Strictly speaking, among the six children in the Sakura family, only Haruna was the successor to Naotaka Sakura, and the other children were just trained as hobbies.
Haruka kept her head tilted, "She can't teach anyone. If you don't have time...if you don't have time, forget it. I'll practice by myself." After saying that, she turned around and left in frustration, feeling that she shouldn't have come to ask Kazuya for help. What a shame!
Kazuya thought the same thing. Haruna was a beast and was good at fighting, but she was easy to confuse others when speaking so it would be difficult to teach others. He considered for a while and said with a smile: "Okay, I can go there early every afternoon to help you find your shortcomings."
Since this little radish decided to go to the competition, she had to come back with good results. Besides, it wouldn't waste too much time to help her practice well.
Haruka lowered his head and muttered, as if to say thank you. She was a little touched by his help. She hesitated and said, "I can do somersaults for you again."
Kazuya was speechless. Now I know you are really want to win. You can even put your dignity aside. But he was really just joking last time, so he said helplessly: "That's really a joke."
"Then keep it for now. I'm going back to study!" Haruka turned around and left. The front door of her classroom was right next to the back door of Kazuya's classroom, which was very convenient.
