"It's as if I never had a youth."
Ryougi Shiki complained about the butler Akitaka's overly emotional reaction.
"Miss, you wouldn't have participated in group activities like school sports meets in the past."
Butler Qiulong answered.
Ryougi Shiki has been out of place since childhood because she is an abnormal being, and she is aware of her abnormality.
Therefore, she hates her abnormal self, and she also hates the human society that prevents her from integrating into it.
In this situation, it would be a miracle if anyone could participate in any group activities.
However, the butler, Qiulong, was unaware of this; he was simply genuinely moved by the changes in the girl he had cared for since childhood.
"We were forced into this."
As she said this, Ryougi Shiki's gaze softened when she looked in the direction of the boy waving at her.
The wall of isolation she had built up from the outside world, constructed by her perceptions, was gradually broken down by the boy who had entered her life over the past month.
Because of the boy, she now has friends, although sometimes it makes her feel embarrassed and annoyed, but she is somewhat intoxicated by this feeling of being integrated into normal social life.
"Lord Broly, Professor Fujimura, and these young ladies, my lady is truly grateful for your care!"
The butler, Qiulong, came over and thanked him solemnly.
Before this, he had considered whether to warn the group of people in front of him who would invite his young lady out for a feast and sightseeing during the holidays to stay away from her.
The reason was that she didn't want others to treat her unsociable daughter as a freak again, but thankfully she didn't.
The group of people in front of her had gotten along very well with her young lady, and had even made her more cheerful.
"Since Ryougi has agreed to be my wife, it's only right that I cheer her on."
Broly responded earnestly to the butler Qiulong's thanks.
Butler Qiulong: "..."
He had heard Broly's statement before, but hearing it again now still felt a bit strange.
If an ordinary young man said such things, his butler certainly wouldn't mind making the other person realize the difference between their status and that of his young lady.
But the boy in front of her was still a child, and her young mistress hadn't denied what the other person said. Perhaps her young mistress really did like younger boys and was a genuine shota-con...
He dared not ask Ryougi Shiki herself about such matters.
After thinking it over, the middle-aged butler decided to report to Grandpa Liangyi when he got home that evening.
"From now on, we're all family. You, the steward who takes care of Liangyi's life, don't be so polite."
Fujimura Taiga patted the middle-aged butler on the shoulder, looking at him with a sense of déjà vu, seeing the Fujimura Group underlings who used to follow him around and take care of him. He treated the butler very well.
The butler, Qiulong, was somewhat at a loss for words after being photographed. The female intern in front of him occasionally gave him the feeling of a big sister who had been around in the underworld.
As for the others, the girl named Rin Tohsaka is a very noble and wealthy young lady. Whenever she is invited out to eat, drink, and have fun, the other party always pays the bill.
Sakura Fujimura and Illya are two well-behaved and sensible younger sister characters, while the foreign girl named Kallen next to them has a sharp tongue. It's a mystery how this group of people got together and became friends with their young lady.
Regardless, Qiulong was still very happy that his young lady had friends.
He stood there, listening to Ryougi Shiki say things like, "Wait, could you please stop cheering me on?"
"Of course not, we'd have come all this way for nothing if we didn't cheer you on."
Rin Tohsaka directly denied her statement.
"That's right, Sister Liangyi, cheering is a way for those of us who aren't participating to express our spirit and be with you who are participating."
Sakura's words resonated with Illya.
"Sister Ryougi, the way you overtook your opponent was so cool! I jumped up and shouted 'Go for it!' when you crossed the finish line."
The doll girl's face was flushed; she had indeed been very excited.
"With our minds united, you will be unstoppable!"
Broly also rejected the girl in the kimono, uttering the lines that had surfaced in his mind.
"Being able to come in first place is clearly due to my own ability."
Ryougi was somewhat dissatisfied with this, because before it was her turn to run, Broly was the one waving the cheering flag the most enthusiastically.
She saw it all from the field; the other people watching the games were looking at the boy with strange eyes.
"Give up, Liangyi-jie, they're definitely going to add that oil to your tank."
The little white-haired nun came over and offered her a word of comfort, trying to make her accept the helplessness of reality.
"Karen, it's a bit too late for you to play innocent now. Do you think I didn't hear you shouting 'the girl in the kimono covering her forehead on the third track' over here?"
Ryougi pinched the white-haired little nun's cheek. Just now, when the others didn't know who Broly and the others were cheering for, it was this scheming little girl who pointed them in the right direction, making her feel even more ashamed.
"It's swollen! My face is going to get all swollen from your pinching!"
Ryougi only let go after giving Karen's cheeks a good squish.
. . . .
"Next up is a three-legged search game. Contestants, please draw a clue to find your teammate..."
The school loudspeakers were announcing the progress of the school sports meet, while over there, Kurogiri Mikiya was registering the clues drawn by the participants for lost items.
"The clue you drew is [Red]. Before the deadline in ten minutes, you need to find a teammate on campus with the [Red] trait to participate in the upcoming three-legged race..."
The first stage of the three-legged search game involves finding a teammate who matches the characteristics of the clues drawn, which is not too difficult for well-prepared participants.
For example, a girl who drew the "red" clue had a friend wearing a red hat, and while the others were still looking for teammates, they started practicing their teamwork in a three-legged race.
My clue is [small].
Ryougi Ori held the clue card between her two fingers and handed it to Kurogiri Mikiya, who was registering.
"Okay, Ryougi, you need to find a teammate with the [small] trait before the deadline."
Kurogiri Mikiya also registered, and when he noticed the girl in the kimono getting closer to Ryougi Shiki, he couldn't help but remind the girl in the kimono.
"Liangyi, people whose names contain the character 'Xiao' can also be teammates."
Upon hearing this, Komori Nai looked at the girl in the kimono with some anticipation.
"I already have someone in mind."
Ryougi ignored Komori Nai who was getting closer and went straight to her friends and family who were cheering her on.
"Broly, are you sure you still want to cheer me on later?"
"Our minds are united..."
"Fine, I'll make you and me become one. Come here!"
Seeing that the boy was stubborn, Ryougi took action and pulled Broly over to the registration point.
"Kurotou, he's my teammate."
Ryougi pointed at Broly.
"Huh?"
Kurogiri Kanya's eyes widened.
"What, is there a problem with me choosing him as my teammate?"
"Uh, no problem. Broly is a child, and a child's smallness is still smallness."
Kurogiri Kanya quickly shook his head.
"However, the difference in your stride length is a bit too great; it's not easy for you to run with your legs tied together, is it?"
Kurogiri Mikiya also offered a reminder.
For playing three-legged race, it's best to have two people with similar stride lengths.
"Broly, how should I put it, can you still be one with my thoughts?"
Ryougi Shiki told him to back down and stop waving the flag and cheering her on like before.
"That's not a problem, I'll keep up with your pace."
After learning about the three-legged race, Broly assumed that Ryougi was worried about not being able to keep up with him, but instead comforted the kimono-clad girl.
Broly's running speed was much faster than his opponent's, and he felt that he could easily accommodate Ryougi Shiki's walking speed.
"You said it yourself, so don't blame me if you fall."
The track and field girl, who was looking forward to teaming up with Ryougi Shiki, watched like a defeated dog as the girl and boy's feet were tied together by a red ribbon.
"Well then, Broly, let's cheer each other on and win first place!"
The kimono-clad girl's voice changed, and her attitude towards Broly shifted from a masculine style to a feminine one.
"When I say '1,' I step with my left foot and you step with your right foot. When I say '2,' I step with my right foot and you step with your left foot."
Ryougi Shiki held the boy's hand, looking worried that he might fall, and helped him get used to the three-legged walking rhythm.
But as it turned out, she didn't need to shout any slogans at all; Broly could easily keep up with her movements, even if they were running forward with long strides.
The three-legged search game began, with Broly and Ryougi Shiki taking the lead and arriving at the first checkpoint first.
"Liangyi led her partner, Broly, to the first clue extraction point."
The first clue they drew was "green," and they ran towards the lawn—a smart decision.
Broly plucked a blade of green grass from the lawn, and then, in perfect unison, he and Ryougi walked toward the second clue extraction point…
The distance to run in the three-legged race to find the lost item isn't far, just around the track once. However, finding the items associated with the clues can be quite troublesome, and it might even lead to disagreements and arguments with your teammates.
However, Broly and Ryougi Shiki got along very well. After pulling up a blade of grass, borrowing a hat, getting a yellow ribbon to tie on their heads, and picking up a baseball bat, the two of them successfully reached the finish line of the race in first place.
"Our minds are united..."
Broly said this again after reaching the finish line.
"We are unstoppable!"
But before he could finish speaking, his female personality interrupted him.
"Tch~"
Ryougi Shiki's personality re-emerged at this moment, and she pouted somewhat unhappily.
. . . .
In the morning, the sports meet of Guanshang College is for the upperclassmen.
In the afternoon, it was the middle school students' turn to perform.
Although there were no more Ryougi Shiki matches, Broly and the others stayed behind.
These school sports meets are quite interesting.
When the middle school competition was about a third of the way through, Kokutou Senka came looking for them.
This girl with long, straight black hair, the same age as Sakura, came to find her brother.
He hugged her the moment they met, revealing his brother complex.
However, Mikiya Kokutou also needs to help his juniors in the middle school maintain order at the sports meet.
So he brought his sister here.
"Flowers, didn't your brother say you were also participating in the sports meet? How come you have time to come over?"
Rin Tohsaka asked out of curiosity, as she had a good impression of the girl in front of her who looked somewhat like herself when she was a child.
"Our school's sports meet, the middle school events are in the morning, and I came here after my competition."
Explanation of the black tung flower.
"Your brother isn't participating, and even if he were, it's already over. Did you come here just to watch the matches?"
"No, I'm not interested in watching other people exercise. But don't you guys think my brother looks cool when he's working hard?"
The women on the picnic mat: "..."
"This guy is definitely a hardcore brother-complex, and the incurable kind."
Seeing that her brother, Kurogiri Senka, was busy watching through binoculars, Dr. Tohsaka made a diagnosis.
"I don't think you guys have much right to say that, do you?"
Ryougi pointed to Sakura, who was feeding Broly snacks and watching him eat with a smile, and began to complain.
One likes watching the older brother work diligently, and the other likes watching Broly eat earnestly.
Well, they're about the same, aren't they?
It just goes to show that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As long as there's a filter, even if the object of affection is a latrine cleaner, he'll probably still seem like a handsome latrine cleaner.
"You can really eat! You're always eating whenever we meet."
After Kurogiri Mikiya was out of sight, Kurogiri Senka put down her binoculars and turned to look at the boy who was still eating.
"Do you want it?"
Broly handed the potato chips in his hand to the black iris flowers.
"You're not going to make me your wife just because I ate it, are you?"
The black tung flowers were somewhat wary.
"No, this is for you."
Although the Black Kiri flowers were a target suggested by Crystal Palace, Broly didn't force the issue after they had clearly refused.
Now, when he offers someone food, it's just a habit of his to share food with those around him.
"Oh, I see. I'm a little hungry too."
Without any hesitation, Heitong Xianhua took the potato chips and started eating.
She was actually quite interested in the boy in front of her who had a huge appetite.
From a young age, Kurogiri Senka has had a fondness for unusual things, including unusual people.
In her eyes, Broly was a somewhat unusual boy.
"By the way, Broly, can I ask you a question?"
"What's the problem?"
Do you possess some special abilities?
"What are special abilities?"
"For example, the ability to make women around you spontaneously develop feelings for you."
The question about the black tung flowers made Broly tilt his head.
He looked at Sakura beside him and asked, "Sakura, do I have this ability?"
"Of course."
Sakura answered seriously.
"Um."
Ilya nodded.
"Don't make me answer this kind of question."
Rin Tohsaka turned her face away.
"Since I'm staying with you and don't have to take care of the disabled person, my feelings towards you will naturally improve."
Karen's sharp tongue remains as sharp as ever.
"It's really comfortable being with you."
Ryougi-ori's answer was direct.
"I think I probably do."
Broly then looked at the black hibiscus flowers again and answered.
"That's it. Don't you think love is selfish? Love has to be enjoyed by one person, yet you can tolerate yourselves becoming his object as well?"
Is it that you didn't love him, or did he use some unknown means, like the legendary power of a succubus, to bewitch you?
Black Paulownia Flowers spoke these words in a dramatic, aria-like tone, as if startled.
If Rin Tohsaka hadn't been certain that the girl knew nothing about the magic world, she would have suspected that she came from a family of magicians.
"Were you bewitched?"
Rin Tohsaka asked.
"No, my heart will always belong to my brother."
Black tung flowers said with absolute certainty.
"That settles it. Broly didn't bewitch us; we just became his objects for some reason."
Rin Tohsaka answered.
"What's the reason?"
Black tung flowers are very interested in this.
"You're not planning to be his wife, so why are you asking so many questions?"
"Can't I just ask?"
"No soliciting if you are not serious."
Rin Tohsaka may have feelings for Hanako Kokutou, but those feelings aren't enough for her to share the boy's crystal palace with this girl.
"Unless you change your mind and are willing to become Broly's wife."
Sakura added from the side.
The more new wives you have, the more happiness points you can get later.
And the longer Broly can stay in this world, the more time he can stay.
"Then forget it."
Upon hearing this, Heitong Xianhua quickly withdrew her curiosity.
