"Hey! I'm talking to you..."
"How dare you say something like that...!"
Stella and Shizuku's anger was successfully ignited. They both stepped forward, prepared to confront Kirihara Seiya and the shallow girls behind him.
However, seeing Stella and Shizuku like this, Ikki stepped in to stop them once again.
"Shizuku, Stella, calm down."
Ikki stretched out his hands to block Stella and Shizuku as they prepared to advance, shaking his head at them.
This left both Stella and Shizuku dissatisfied.
"They said something like that about you, and you're not angry at all?"
"There's no need to show your kindness to people like this, Big Brother. Just give me a little time. Shizuku will have them all suffocating in an instant."
Stella and Shizuku each made such a statement. Shizuku in particular sounded extremely dangerous. She did not seem to be joking in the slightest; she was completely serious about doing it.
Therefore, if Ikki did not intervene, everyone—including Kirihara Seiya—would be within Shizuku's attack range. None of them would get lucky. They would all be thrown into the water and collapse from suffocation, right?
Even when facing Luo Zhen, Shizuku had given him only a single warning before launching her attack outright. It was obvious that whenever Ikki was involved, Shizuku's patience was nowhere near as great. Regardless of who the other party was, she might erupt and attack them without hesitation.
That left Ikki with no choice but to stop them.
There was nothing he could do.
"Although you two could certainly fight Kirihara if you wanted to, this would only be a private duel. We can't cause the chairwoman any more trouble."
"Besides..."
Ikki shifted his gaze toward Kirihara Seiya, who was watching them with great interest, and continued.
"Kirihara doesn't intend to fight you two here
