I don't want to be a heroic spirit

There was another girl in the living room, who seemed to be attracted by the sound of the door opening and looked over. The two people's eyes met in mid-air.

She was a girl who gave people a feeling of being unsociable. Her blue waist-length hair fell naturally, and her bangs covered her right eye, revealing only the blue eye on the left.

She wore the same student uniform as Okita Souji, a black dress with white sleeves. Obviously, she was also a student of Pojun Academy like Okita Souji.

When Okita Souji came in, he saw the blue-haired girl sitting on the sofa, holding a plate of cookies with few remaining cookies, and there seemed to be cookie crumbs on her lips.

Take a closer look... that plate of cookies seemed to be the snacks she had just made in the morning?

After realizing this, Okita Souji narrowed his amber eyes slightly, and his eyes looking at the other person gradually became intriguing, staring at the other person and blushing, his eyes full of guilt.

After some explanation...

"So, you didn't have breakfast, and when you returned to the dormitory, you were so attracted by the smell of cookies that you couldn't walk, and you couldn't resist the temptation and ate them, right?"

"Yes, I'm so sorry..."

The blue-haired girl apologized very sincerely. In fact, if she hadn't been stopped by Okita Souji just now, she might be kneeling on the ground to apologize.

Okita Souji also knew the identity of the girl. She was her roommate, named Ayase Ayase Tsuji.

Okita Souji really had no impression of this name, but...

"This voice..."

It's too similar.

Talking to Ayase Ayase Tsuji, Okita Souji seemed to hear the voice of Kingu... or Enkidu.

However, she didn't have Kingu's contempt for humans, nor did she have Enkidu's gentleness.

She was just an ordinary girl, and an ordinary girl with a slightly introverted personality.

"Oh, it's just a plate of cookies. Just eat it. It's no big deal. I can make another plate."

Okita Souji waved his hand indifferently and said generously: "And I'm also very happy that you like the cookies I made. If you want to eat more, I can make them for you."

"Really?"

Ayatsuji Ayase looked at Okita Souji excitedly, and tears flowed from the corners of her mouth.

"Of course, we are roommates."

Okita Souji stretched out his hand with a silly smile and said, "Let's get along well in the future."

Ayatsuji Ayase blinked blankly, and then shook it happily.

"Yeah! Roommate!"

Chapter 54 The rising fighting spirit

It was another morning.

When Ayatsuji Ayase woke up from the bed, she found that her new roommate, Okita Souji, was gone.

When passing by the table, Ayatsuji Ayase found a plate of snacks on it, and there was a small note next to the plate, so she picked up the note and read it.

[Ms. Okita went out for a morning run. If I'm not back by the time you get up, the coconut milk white jade cake on the table is your breakfast. Don't forget to eat it.]

"Soji..."

Looking at the small words on the small note, Ayatsuji Ayase couldn't help but smile with joy.

The white jade cake was cool and chewy, leaving a charming sweet coconut milk fragrance between the mouth and teeth. Ayatsuji Ayase couldn't stop eating it.

The slightly cool snack made Ayatsuji Ayase feel warm in her heart.

She probably couldn't forget the taste of this coconut milk white jade cake for a long time.

While Ayatsuji Ayase was enjoying the white jade cake, Okita Soji was jogging on the path of the school.

The cherry blossoms on campus were blooming very beautifully, and the view was almost submerged by the cherry pink waves.

It only takes a very light morning breeze for the fragrance of cherry blossoms to occupy every corner of this school.

While enjoying the beautiful scenery, Okita Souji adjusted her pace and breathing rhythm until she saw two figures in the distance.

On such a cherry blossom path, the two figures in sportswear were really conspicuous. After all, most people in this academy couldn't understand why they came out for a morning run so early.

They didn't go out to practice superpowers or combat skills, but came out for a run. In the eyes of those people, it must be a stupid act of wasting time and energy.

So they could only do this...

When the distance was shortened, it was clearer.

One of the two figures was Kurogane Ikki.

Only he would be such an "alien" in this academy.

However, he was not alone today. There was no one around him when he was doing morning exercises yesterday.

At this time, Kurogane Ikki also noticed Okita Souji and turned around to take a look.

At the moment when their eyes met, the color of confrontation suddenly emerged in the eyes of the two people.

"Miss Stella, please forgive me for leaving first."

"Huh?"

The girl with the red twin ponytails was puzzled, and then Kurogane Ikki accelerated and rushed out directly.

"Wait...wait a minute! You suddenly..."

Before she finished her words, the red-haired girl felt a gust of wind passing by her, and then she saw a girl with cherry pink hair, who seemed to be about the same age as her, gradually moving farther and farther away from her.

"..."

Alone and feeling isolated, the red-haired girl felt a surge of anger in her heart, and roared and chased after the two people's backs.

"Explain it to me! Ikki!"

The confrontation between Ikki Kurogane and Souji Okita was caused by a momentary impulse. When they were tired and calmed down, they realized their mistakes. Ikki Kurogane also sincerely apologized to the other party for leaving the red-haired girl alone, and apologized several times.

In fact, even Ikki Kurogane and Souji Okita didn't know why they suddenly had the idea of ​​​​a competition. Now think about it carefully, it was a bit impulsive at the time. It may be because each of them realized that the other party was a rare swordsman in the world, but there was no opportunity to compete in swordsmanship, so they suddenly lost their minds.

"But, Miss Okita, you are really amazing..."

Ikki Kurogane took out a thermos from the package, which contained the sports drink that Ikki Kurogane prepared before going out.

At this time, Ikki Kurogane was holding a thermos cup with one hand on his waist and the other hand, and was adjusting his somewhat rapid breathing.

"Even though you've been running for so long, you look much better than me. I remember your physical fitness is B, right? The same as Miss Stella."

In the competition just now, both of them tacitly did not use magic, but relied on pure physical fitness.

Okita Souji had shown his ability value to Kurogane Ikki before, so Kurogane Ikki knew that Okita Souji's physical fitness was B-level, while Kurogane Ikki's physical fitness was A-level, which was also the only one of his abilities that was acceptable.

However, he was a little out of breath now, but Okita Souji seemed to have not changed his breathing rhythm.

By the way, Stella's condition was much worse than Kurogane Ikki's. The reason why Okita Souji and Kurogane Ikki stopped was because they saw that Stella was tired.

Although she looked very angry about being left behind by Kurogane Ikki, Stella did not use magic power like them. Otherwise, with her world-leading magic power, she would have caught up with Kurogane Ikki and the others long ago, not to mention being exhausted.

Before Okita Souji spoke, Stella raised her head with an expression of disbelief.

"What? Her physical fitness is also B-level? I thought she was the same as you, Ikki!"

"Oh, don't look at me like this, I'm actually very weak." Okita Souji waved his hand modestly, "Although you haven't seen it, I used to vomit blood frequently. Later, I had a major operation and vomited blood less frequently."

"Huh? Is that so? I didn't see it at all." Kurogane Ikki showed a surprised expression.

Seeing Kurogane Ikki and Okita Souji talking happily, Stella felt that she was the unnecessary third party at this moment.

Unexplained dissatisfaction accumulated in her chest, making her tone of voice become angry.

"Ikki, who is this girl?"

Stella's words reminded Ikki Kurogane that he hadn't introduced the two yet.

"Ah, sorry Miss Stella..."

"Stella."

Stared at by Ikki Kurogane's puzzled eyes, Stella repeated: "Call me Stella."

"Well... okay, Stella." Ikki Kurogane succumbed to Stella's tough attitude, and then continued: "This is Souji Okita, we just met yesterday, and then, Miss Okita, this is Stella, my, um... roommate."

When Ikki Kurogane called her by her name, but added the word Miss when he called Souji Okita, Stella felt an inexplicable sense of superiority in her heart.

As for Souji Okita, he silently looked Stella up and down.

The name is Stella, and she is also the roommate of the male protagonist. Sure enough, the person in front of him is the female protagonist.

Moreover, she is worthy of being called the free princess. Did she give it away so quickly?

That means... did the hero and heroine fight yesterday?

Okita Souji felt sorry in his heart.

After all, she was still very interested in the hero's swordsmanship.

But it doesn't matter, there will be opportunities in the future.

Chapter 55: Admiration, jealousy and depreciation

"Uh... Miss Okita?"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Okita Souji looked at Kurogane Ikki confusedly, but saw that the other party frowned with an incomprehensible expression.

"You... when you heard that Stella and I were roommates, why did you react... so calmly?"

"Then what should my reaction be?"

Okita Souji tilted his head in confusion.

No, it should be difficult to accept that men and women live in the same dormitory, but you asked me what my reaction should be...

Am I making a fuss?

If I hadn't been almost burned by Stella yesterday, Kurogane Ikki might have really thought so.

"Okay, let's stop talking about those irrelevant things. We're going to gather in class later, right? We're in the same class, so let's go together then."

Okita Souji moved closer to Ikki Kurogane. He originally wanted to put his arm around his neck, but he found out that he couldn't reach him, so he used his elbow to nudge his arm instead.

By the way, Okita Souji is less than 1.6 meters tall, while Ikki Kurogane is 1.75 meters tall.

Okita Souji moved closer to Ikki Kurogane naturally, and Ikki Kurogane didn't feel anything special, but this scene made Stella's red eyes stare straight.

"Ah, speaking of which, I didn't bring any water when I went out, Ikki, can you give me a sip of your water?"

Because Okita Souji's tone was too natural, Ikki Kurogane nodded subconsciously and said, "Hmm? Sure, here..."

"What are you two doing?!"

Stella finally exploded and pulled Okita Souji and Kurogane Ikki apart, then stared at Okita Souji in shame and anger and shouted: "You, you, you... are too shameless!"

"Huh?"

"She is an unmarried girl, but... she kissed indirectly... it's too much..."

Stella's reaction was so strong that even Kurogane Ikki, who realized it belatedly, scratched his slightly red cheeks in embarrassment.

However, facing Stella's words, Okita Souji tilted his head, obviously not understanding.

Seeing Okita Souji like this, and thinking of the confused expression he had when he talked about sleeping with a man and a woman, Kurogane Ikki couldn't help but think...

"Ms. Okita... is she the type who is slow to understand the relationship between men and women?"

It's also a very troublesome personality...

"And Ikki!"

Kurogatsu Ikki suddenly felt a force on his neck. It turned out that Stella grabbed his collar, and then he saw Stella's beautiful but angry face.

"Didn't you say that you just met Okita yesterday? Why are you two so close today! You even... and... "

"I really met Ms. Okita yesterday!"

Kurogatsu Ikki didn't know why he felt so guilty in front of Stella, but he had to explain it quickly.

On the contrary, Okita Souji was always daydreaming, and seemed to be completely unaware that he was the culprit of this dispute.
