Haruka led Yoko: "Let's go together!" She couldn't let her be alone again. If something happened again, she would be embarrassed to see Kazuya.
She gave the order, and the Sakura family, including the little boy Toutaro, went to the big bathhouse with Yoko and took a comfortable hot bath. While Yoko was still in a daze, Haruna had helped her rub her back, and Ayaka and Chika even applied talcum powder on her.
Yoko came to her senses after being taken back to her room. She still couldn't adapt to the life of a big family with so many people. She was lying on the tatami, with Akiho on one side and Chika and Ayaka on the other. Haruna was still muttering and complaining about the irresponsible hotel staff, causing her to almost slip in the dressing room. Haruka crawled over in the dark and beat her two punches to shut her up.
Taking a hot bath can help you sleep. Even though it was a bit noisy, Yoko quickly fell asleep. As soon as Haruka put Toutaro to sleep, she heard her phone vibrating. She picked it up and checked the email, then frowned and quietly got up to leave the room.
Haruna didn't fall asleep either. She slept at the door and was responsible for guarding the door. She got up and poked her head out: "Sister, where are you going?"
Haruka turned around: "Something happened!" After saying that, she opened the door and went out, and Haruna followed after thinking about it.
This was the room where Kanae and the other female members live, but at this moment, both male and female members were all here, and in the middle lied the third-year Riko Kata, who was biting her lower lip and trying to endure the pain.
Haruka leaned close to Kazuya and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
He replied in a low voice: "I hear that Riko Senpai fell down in the locker room and sprained her foot slightly, as well as injuring her wrist." He had some suspicions that it was plotted by Hojo's group, but there was no evidence. When the hotel staff came to apologize, they were also angry, but there were guests on both sides and they couldn't say anything.
At that time, Riko went to change clothes after taking a bath and suddenly fell down in front of the locker. Kanae and the others were busy dressing her, checking her injuries and sending her back to the room. They thought it was an accident at first. When they found something was wrong and went back to check, the place had been cleaned up and they didn't know who had cleaned.
This was a hotel so it didn't dare to install surveillance cameras in the women's locker room. It was not a serious case, so all the guests could be gathered together to repeatedly question and find witnesses in fact, but finally the hotel took the whole blame.
Kazuya always relied on evidence when doing things, but Haruka was an expert in free-spirited evidence. She raised her two thin eyebrows, "It must be the Hojo's group who did it. I go to them to settle the score!"
If it was really Hojo who did it, then Riko had been indirectly harmed because of them, and this little radish couldn't bear it.
"How to settle it?" Kazuya grabbed her, "Now we are on the strange city, so if we want to deal with it, we have to wait until going back."
His face was also a bit ugly. If there was a conflict between the two parties, he would not let them go. In his heart, hurting innocent people would challenge his psychological bottom line.
Kanae had already finished comforting Riko. They were classmates and good friends. She stood up with a serious expression on her face. No one here was a fool. Everyone was suspicious and suspected that Suzu Hojo and her group were up to something, but they didn't know why this revenge fell on Riko.
These people were discussing for a while, and Yukio glanced at Kazuya from time to time, as if he was blaming them for causing these troubles, so his words were a bit weird. Haruna listened for a while and carefully approached the hurt Riko. The people beside her looked at her in surprise, "Sister, is it because of me?"
She blamed herself very much and looked a little aggrieved.
Riko was a very gentle girl. Looking at her clear eyes, she endured the pain and forced a smile: "No, Haruna, it has nothing to do with you. It's just my own carelessness. But tomorrow's game..."
Even if she kept on fighting, her strength in this state would at least be reduced by half.
Haruna touched her feet very carefully and said seriously: "Don't worry, take good care of your injuries!"
Kanae was also worried about this matter, but she was a straightforward person and could tell right from wrong. She understood that this incident couldn't be entirely blamed on Haruna. Only a coward would watch her friend being bullied in that situation. Moreover, she had known Hojo for a long time. It was hard to say who the other party was targeting this time.
Maybe they actually wanted her to get injured, but Riko wanted to go back early and ended up blocking the trap for her. It was no secret that she liked kendo very much. There was nothing more disgusting than ruining her game if she really wanted to revenge.
Haruna had turned around, sat down on her knees and bowed her head: "Kanae Senpai, I will take responsibility. Please let me participate in the competition, please!"
Kanae asked in surprise: "You? Didn't you say you had never participated in a kendo competition before?" Haruna was recommended to the track and field club by her, but she heard her test scores this year were too poor and she was not qualified to be a regular player.
When Haruka took her sister to visit her, she also considered whether Haruna would be as strong as Haruka, but Haruka insisted that she had never participated in a kendo competition and didn't even know the rules. So she didn't care about her anymore.
Haruna said firmly: "Yes, but I will try hard this time..."
Kanae hesitated for a moment, looking at her friend who was lying with a face full of pain, and then at Haruna who was sitting with her head lowered. Haruna felt guilty and had already decided to take action in place of Riko.
She got up and looked around, then took out a bamboo sword from someone's sword bag. She weighed it and felt that it was light and a bit unaccustomed to it. But she still made a calm stance and slashed down with the sword. Suddenly everyone in the room felt a strong wind blowing towards them.
She said firmly: "Let me to fight in place of the injured sister!
Kanae could judge she wasn't weak in kendo from this blow, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She glanced at Haruka with some dissatisfaction and immediately made a decision. "Have you brought the student handbook? I will go to the committee change the player list tomorrow morning."
"Yes, wait a minute!" Haruna turned around and ran away. She must be carrying this thing with her because there was no ID card in this country, so she relied on her student ID card to prove her identity when going out.
She came and went like the wind, and soon came back to hand the student handbook to Kanae, and then knelt down beside Riko and comforted her, promising her that she would not let the team be eliminated until she recovered from her injury.
Haruka didn't stop her. She lowered her head, thought for a while and left the room. Kazuya followed her and reminded softly: "Everything wait after we get back to Nagoya. And this is my business, I will handle it!"
Haruka rolled her eyes at him: "Don't think about one person being the boss all day long, this is everyone's business!"
She opened the door on the opposite side and went in. In the blink of an eye, she dragged out two little ones, Ayaka and Chika, and ordered: "Go to investigate the guy who provoked us today, including her age, her school, her friends and so on."
Ayaka and Chika were sleepy, but they both put their hands in front of Haruka, and Haruka slapped them angrily: "Go quickly. We'll talk about adding pocket money when you come back!"
Ayaka and Chika were awakened by the beating. They looked at each other, pointed at Kazuya and said loudly: "We don't believe you. If you ask Onichan to be the witness, we will go!"
Haruka was in a bad mood at the moment, and she wanted to force them to work with a dark face, but Kazuya quickly stopped her and said with a smile: "Of course I have no problem being the witness, but..."
