Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

After all, for Sarah, the goal she wanted to achieve in this Seven Star Sword Dance Festival had already been accomplished.

In the end, the results of this Seven Star Sword Dance Festival were:

Champion: Orikura Makoto『Hagun Academy』!

Runner-up: Kurogane Ikki『Hagun Academy』!

Third Place: Stella Vermillion『Hagun Academy』!

Such were the results.

Toudou Touka was stopped in the top eight, while Kurogane Shizuku and Kuitokihara Kanata failed to enter the top eight and were defeated in the top sixteen.

By the way, the best result of Renchiku Academy was the top sixteen.

Just like that, the top three spots were directly taken by Hagun Academy. Akatsuki Academy not only failed to realize its wild claims at the start of the competition, but its results were quite unsightly.

Prime Minister Tsukikage Moya's plan also fell through.

His delusional dream of realizing Japan's independence was nothing more than a pipe dream.

The official awards ceremony will now take place here.

Therefore, the participants of the competition, relevant staff, audience members selected by drawing seat numbers, political dignitaries, and high-level officials from the 'Alliance' stationed in Japan who could come, almost all came here.

Here, everyone was dressed in exquisite evening gowns and suits.

They shuttled through the banquet hall on the top floor of the hotel.

"It's completely fermented now, right?"

Orikura Makoto raised the glass of red wine in his hand and gently touched it against the glass in Kuitokihara Kanata's hand.

"Of course."

"Look, even though it's such an important matter, the Kurogane family didn't even send anyone."

"They are trying hard to suppress it."

To this, Orikura Makoto just scoffed.

"Can they suppress it?"

Chapter 141: Exposing the Kurogane Family's Crimes

"It would be strange if they could suppress it."

"If they could suppress it, I would have prepared for so long in vain."

Kuitokihara Kanata tucked a strand of hair that had fallen from her temple behind her ear and smiled slightly.

"In that case, shall we make this banquet even more lively?"

He put his hands in his pockets on both sides of his pants, looking at the lights on the stage and the glittering award platform.

"Isn't that obvious? Let's announce everything on this stage."

"Let the Kurogane family fall from the clouds."

Kuitokihara Kanata took a step back and gently patted Orikura Makoto's chest.

...

On the award platform.

Standing in the highest position, also in the very center, was Noel.

To his left was the runner-up, Kurogane Ikki, whose face was slightly tired, and to his right, the third-place position, engraved with the number 3, Stella Vermillion.

"What were you talking about with Vice President Kuitokihara just now?"

The clothes on his waist were being tugged, and Orikura Makoto's facial expression, which he had been maintaining quite well, immediately collapsed.

"You saw it?"

He really didn't expect Stella's eyes to be so good.

The position where he and Kuitokihara Kanata were standing was already in the very corner of the banquet hall. At that time, Stella was clearly already standing on the podium, with who knows how many members in between.

Stella actually saw it.

"Yes, I saw Vice President Kuitokihara patting you."

"What was she saying to you?"

The suspicion in Stella's eyes was quite obvious.

Actually, she didn't know what was going on. Why was she always like this now?

She just always felt vaguely in her heart that her man was in danger, and that there seemed to be some kind of fishy smell always surrounding her man.

Therefore, Stella's vigilance was higher than ever before.

"Don't worry, it's serious business."

"Didn't I already tell you? It's about overthrowing the Kurogane family."

Orikura Makoto's eyebrows twitched. He had already seen Stella take a step back and was sniffing his scent.

"Really that?"

Stella still looked doubtful.

"Of course."

"You'll know in a moment."

It seemed that he could only temporarily appease Stella like this, and he had to pay a little attention himself.

But it was also fortunate that he used magic to eliminate the scent on his body before going on stage. If Stella had really smelled Kuitokihara Kanata's scent, this matter might not have ended so easily.

"Okay."

Stella nodded reluctantly, at least she calmed down on the surface.

The stage had already quieted down. Kurogane Ikki had been protecting himself and did not participate in the conversation between Stella and Orikura Makoto.

The audience was even quieter.

Long before, these people attending the banquet had stopped their conversations, stood in their positions, and waited for the awards ceremony to begin.

"Bang——!"

Along with such a sound, the lights in the entire venue dimmed, suddenly dimming to the point where you couldn't see your fingers.

Then, the next light directly pierced through the night.

The gathered beam of light directly hit the stage, the three people standing on the podium.

Exhilarating and passionate music sounded directly. It was the opening song specially made for this Seven Star Sword Dance Festival by Japan's top diva.

Another light hit the ladder that Orikura Makoto and the others came up when they went to the podium.

It was Shinguuji Kurono!

Today, she rarely took off her women's suit that she hadn't changed for many years and put on a pure black evening dress.

Compared to her previous masculine dress, Shinguuji Kurono had more feminine charm today.

"Okay, everyone in the audience, participants, and audience members."

"Now let us hold the awards ceremony for this Seven Star Sword Dance Festival."

Another beam of light shot out from the roof, illuminating the front left of Orikura Makoto and the others.

It was a girl in a long red dress.

A head of blood-red hair fell directly to her waist, and her full chest and slender waist perfectly showed the curves of her clothes. The skirt fell to her knees, revealing two white legs like ivory below.

She was also wearing a pair of red sandals on her feet, and the ten delicate toes that were exposed were also painted with red nail polish.

Coupled with her charming face and demon-red lips.

This was a very sexy woman who knew how to use her own advantages.

"I am the commentator Tsukuyomi. I will still be hosting today's awards ceremony. Good evening, everyone."

The woman said while holding the microphone, and bowed slightly, again showing her advantages unnaturally.

Then she raised her small hand and pointed to Shinguuji Kurono, who was under the light.

"This is the principal of Hagun Academy, Miss Shinguuji Kurono."

"Today, she will be the award-giving guest at our Seven Star Sword Dance Festival awards ceremony, presenting awards to our players."

Sparse applause immediately rang out from the audience.

The light shining on Shinguuji Kurono also moved with Shinguuji Kurono.

The audience, which had been quiet, was filled with the sound of people talking again?

"Why is the World Clock giving the award? The person is wrong, right?"

"Yeah, why isn't it the Japanese sub-branch minister?"

"The award-giving guest used to be Branch Minister Kurogane Itaru every time, right?"

"Didn't you see the news? This afternoon, the Kurogane family's scandal was spread all over the place. Maybe they are entangled in scandals."

"Just like this, it shouldn't be?"

While the audience was talking, Shinguuji Kurono walked in front, followed by three beautiful women, and came to Orikura Makoto's side.

"How is it, did you hear the discussions from the audience, Principal?"

Orikura Makoto maintained a serious expression, and his lips didn't even move, but his voice was clearly transmitted among the four people present.

"I heard it."

"Then are you ready to ascend to the position of the branch minister of the International Magic Knight Alliance's Japanese branch?"

"Of course I'm ready."

Shinguuji Kurono also transmitted the voice to Orikura Makoto without opening her mouth.

The communication between the two can only be heard by the four people present, and even the three maids holding the trophies behind them cannot hear it.

"Okay, now let's start the awards ceremony. First, please ask Principal Shinguuji to present the award to our third-place winner, Stella Vermillion."

Shinguuji Kurono took the bronze sword-shaped sculpture from the hand of the maid behind her.

"Hagun Academy's Stella Vermillion is from our allied country, the Vermillion Kingdom, which is also under the 'Alliance'."

"She is the second princess of the Vermillion royal family. In order to become a powerful Blade User, she traveled across the ocean to our country to practice. She has also passed through many battles here. Her strength is obvious to everyone. Although she only won the third-place, please give your applause to Her Highness the 'Crimson Princess'."

Everyone's questions and doubts disappeared temporarily, and everyone was now cheering for Stella.

After all, the awards ceremony had already begun, and no one would bother with such trivial matters that were not related to them.

The trophy was handed to Stella, and she waved her hand to respond to the audience who applauded her.

"Next is the award for our Kurogane Ikki."

As Tsukuyomi's voice sounded again, the light that had been shining on Stella turned to Kurogane Ikki.

"Hagun Academy's Kurogane Ikki is our own country's proud knight, and he is also the great-grandson of our hero, Kurogane Ryoma."

"However, Kurogane Ikki, who was born in the Kurogane family, did not inherit the powerful Blade User talent."

"With an F-level Blade User rank, whether it is magic power or physical strength, other values are also F-level. It can be said that Kurogane Ikki was almost judged from birth that he was not suitable to become a Magic Knight."

"But he did not succumb. The indifference of his relatives, the suppression of his family, and the contempt of his classmates after entering the academy did not make this man succumb. With his own efforts, he won over opponents who seemed absolutely impossible to defeat, and with his exquisite swordsmanship, he won the title of 'Uncrowned Sword King'."

"Now, please ask Principal Shinguuji to award the runner-up trophy to Kurogane Ikki."

The host's impassioned and emotional voice echoed in the venue.

Compared to the introduction of Stella just now, it was obvious that when introducing Kurogane Ikki, the host incorporated more emotion into her speech.

"Really? Is this host crazy?"

"Yeah, is something going to happen later? Otherwise, how dare this host say such things?"

"Isn't she afraid of the pressure from the Kurogane family?"

The discussions from the audience sounded again, and everyone was looking at Tsukuyomi on the stage with shocked eyes.
