n“Come forth, Intetsu.”

n“Time to hunt, Oborotsuki.”

nBoth parties summoned their Devices.

nIkki called a black steel katana to his right hand, and Kirihara took a green bow.

n“And now, today’s the fourth match. Begin!”

nWith the sound from the announcer, the match between Ikki and Kirihara started.

nStill, the moment the match started, Tsukasa shook his head and let out a sigh.

nHis reaction didn’t escape the people who sat next to him, and they looked at him with some confusion, but Shizuku couldn’t help but look at him with unfriendly eyes and ask, “What do you mean?” Even if Tsukasa might be the most handsome and beautiful man in this world, she didn’t care since she felt it was too painful when Ikki’s only friend reacted like this during Ikki’s match.

nEven if Ikki couldn’t win, Shizuku hoped for Tsukasa not to say anything and silently watched instead of letting out a sigh, showing a mocking attitude.

nTsukasa looked at Shizuku and wondered whether this girl was on her period, so he didn’t say anything and ignored her.

n“Hey!” Shizuku became annoyed when Tsukasa ignored her.

n“When you ask someone, you need to say please.” Tsukasa didn’t even look at Shizuku and kept looking at the battle.

nKirihara had used his ability and turned invisible, and Ikki was in the defensive position, waiting for a chance for a counterattack.

nHowever, would such a chance appear?

nTsukasa didn’t think so since Kirihara wasn’t a weak Blazer that would mess up, especially when his power was easy to use and powerful. He could also see that Kirihara hadn’t used all of his power, and he was sure that not only his body but Kirihara could also turn the arrows that he shot into invisible too.

n‘By that time…’

nUnless there was a miracle, Tsukasa didn’t think that Ikki would win.

n‘Still…’

nLooking at how arrogant Kirihara was, Tsukasa knew Kirihara had the capital to become arrogant, especially in front of Ikki, who was known as the “Worst One.” However, he didn’t appreciate Kirihara’s action since it was better to end the enemy faster instead of playing with them.

nThe best enemy was the dead enemy.

nHowever, Tsukasa also didn’t feel surprised by Kirihara’s action.

nThis was the consciousness of the strong.

nIt was something that appeared to everyone when they met someone who was weaker than them. They would subconsciously look down on them and didn’t use all of their power.

nTsukasa was also similar since he usually didn’t end his opponent directly.

nHowever, in his case, it was necessary since every one of his opponents was worth learning. He would play with them, learning all of their everything, whether it was techniques, magic, control, muscle movement, or anything that he could learn from his opponent before he ended them.

nTsukasa also did this before when he fought Stella since he could defeat her with one slash, but he played around for a while.

nIn this fight, Kirihara was also similar to Tsukasa. He could have defeated Ikki at any time, but he kept tormenting Ikki until Ikki couldn’t stand again.

nIf there was a difference between Tsukasa and Kirihara, then it was their sophistication.

nThe way Kirihara tormented his opponent didn’t have class, and it was stupid. It was purely for fun, and it was better to defeat Ikki as soon as possible.

nOn the other hand, Tsukasa used many psychological measures and prepared many backup plans so in case his opponent might power up so suddenly his opponent wouldn’t be able to do anything, and he would imprint them the thought that they wouldn’t be able to defeat him no matter what, so even if he didn’t kill them, they wouldn’t be able to stand up.

nHowever, if it was necessary, Tsukasa would kill, considering how dangerous this world was.

nIt wouldn’t be funny if Tsukasa suddenly died when he was sleeping or the people that he cared about would be taken as a way to blackmail him after all.

nIn other words, even if his opponents were weaker than him, Tsukasa didn’t hesitate to use all of his power directly, no matter how shameless it was.

n“Hey!” Shizuku almost exploded at that moment, but Alice quickly stopped her. “Shizuku, don’t cause trouble. You might disrupt Ikki in his match.”

nShizuku wanted to say something but stopped when she heard Alice’s words. However, she still wanted to hear the reason why Tsukasa let out a sigh, but her pride didn’t allow her to ask. Instead, she kept glaring at him with a cold gaze, ignoring Alice’s dissuasion.

nTsukasa didn’t even need to guess and could tell that Shizuku was a spoiled princess from the Kurogane family and the reason why the little sister could fall for the older brother was probably that Ikki was different from everyone.

nLove had always been blind, and many strange things could be triggered for one to fall in love with other people.

nIn his case, Tsukasa might have fallen in love with someone if he saw that person had nice and soft butts. It had nothing to do with lust, but it was pure love and an appreciation toward the magnum opus that was created by God.

nTo prove his love, Tsukasa often caressed the butts of Touka, Kanata, Stella, Kagami, and even Nene sometimes.

nThere was no lust for his actions.

nProbably.

nWhile Stella and Kagami didn’t say anything, they looked at Shizuku with an unpleasant gaze, so Alice quickly tried to appease the situation by asking Tsukasa. “Kugayama, can you tell me why you sighed before?”

nTsukasa glanced at Alice for a moment and could see that his eyes were gleaming, trying to appear so cute in front of him.

n“……”

nTsukasa didn’t really want to talk with Alice, but he knew he needed to talk to him if he wanted Ikki’s situation to change.

n“Nothing.” Tsukasa shook his head and said, “I just thought that Ikki had lost his chance to win.”

n“There’s no way that Onii-sama will lose!” Shizuku refuted Tsukasa’s words without hesitation.

n“Can you say that again after you see his condition on the field?” Tsukasa asked.

nShizuku looked at Ikki’s bloody figure that swayed weakly after being shot by Kirihara’s invisible arrow from time to time.

nKirihara never showed his appearance and kept shooting Ikki at a safe distance.

nWhile it might seem cowardly, Tsukasa didn’t think so since this was how a hunter should be fighting, and he could see that Kirihara was also a good archer, considering his accuracy was so accurate, causing many wounds and bleeding on Ikki’s body.

n“Ikki can’t even see Kirihara’s figure, and he can’t even see where his arrows come from.” Tsukasa let out a sigh and said, “This match is already hopeless.”

n“…….”

nAlice, Stella, and Kagami didn’t say anything since they also thought similarly.

n“Unless…”

n“Unless?” 4x

nThe four of them looked at Tsukasa at the same time, waiting for his answer.

n“Unless Ikki has an attack that can damage an area like Stella, but does he have it?” Tsukasa asked.

n“……….”

nHearing that question, they knew that Ikki’s match was already hopeless.

nHowever, unlike everyone, Tsukasa believed that something would happen, and he knew that he needed to be the one who triggered this miracle, so he glanced at Shizuku, and hopefully, this girl didn’t disappoint him.
