Sono Hyakka

He's always relied entirely on brute force.

After Yukino visited a few times, she had already emptied his stock.

There's absolutely no drop left.

Seeing this, Yukino turned to ask him about the extraordinary world, Shuya had a lot to say about that.

The two started chatting.

Shuya lived a very regular life for the next few days.

In the morning, I trained with the Gorilla and the Yukinoshita Sisters before going to class.

After school in the afternoon, he would go to the office to meet with Haruno and answer her questions about cultivation.

He could still answer basic questions about Strange Arts.

A peaceful week passed, and on Saturday, Shuya went to the fashion magazine's photoshoot location.

The set was packed today.

Shuya, Little Senior Sister, Mai- chan, Haruno, and other models.

Next up is... Yukino.

It was obvious that Shuya had dragged her along.

His excuse was as follows. "To increase the Power of Will, you need to broaden your horizons, and going out to work is a good way to do that. Your sister can be a magazine model, so why can't you? Are you going to lose to her?"

So Yukino was goaded by him.

Plans are in place.

When Hirai Ryuji saw Shuya bring Yukino to the scene, he immediately gave him a thumbs up:

"Another cute girl, Shu-chan is awesome!"

"So arrogant, my ass."

Shuya greeted the guy briefly, then told Yukino, "His name is Hirai Ryuji, he's a lolicon, don't get too close."

Yukino two steps back, becoming wary.

Hirai Ryuji sighed sadly, "That's an old joke from years ago. Why are you bringing it up again?"

"Hehe, let's go."

Shuya took Yukino to meet people in his circle.

At that moment, the Little Senior Sister was reading a book on the side.

Shuya brought Yukino and said, "Good morning Little Senior Sister. Let me introduce you to someone."

"Junior Brother?"

Upon hearing this, the Little Senior Sister put down her book and looked over with a smile.

Wow, my Little Senior Sister is still such Angel today.

The Little Senior Sister noticed Yukino, looked closely, and exclaimed, "Hmm? You must be Haruno, Yukino- chan's younger sister?"

"Does my Little Senior Sister know me?"

Yukino Shuya started calling him "Little Senior Sister" like Shuu did.

"Haruno- chan showed me your picture and said you're a really fun little sister."

The Little Senior Sister readily sold Haruno.

"Hehe, my sister..."

Yukino a cold laugh, and the temperature dropped again.

"Ahem, calm down."

Shuya reminded him.

"... Feel sorry."

Yukino apologized.

After the three chatted for a while, Haruno, who had just finished work, also arrived at the scene.

She was glared at a few times by Yukino and was a little confused.

But Yukino didn't say anything.

Shuya noticed that the relationship Yukinoshita Sisters seemed to have changed since they started training.

However, he wasn't entirely sure either.

After a while, Mai- chan finally arrived.

Her mother came along too.

Mai- chan and her mother were momentarily stunned when they saw the young men Shuya- ya's side.

The Little Senior Sister and the Yukinoshita Sisters are so beautiful.

Mai- chan's mother subconsciously assumed she was a newcomer from some agency, but couldn't quite place her.

Without giving it much thought, she greeted Xiu and the Shuya, then went to befriend Hirai Ryuji.

Mai- chan then walked over.

Her gaze swept over Yukino's face, then she looked meaningfully at Shuya.

"Hey, Shuya. How come every time I see you, there are always new cute girls around you?"

"Coincide."

Shuya remained unfazed.

Mai looked at Yukino and said, "And her attributes overlap with mine."

She touched her long hair.

Yukino, influenced by her, also ruffled her hair.

Mai- chan smiled at her words, and Yukino's lips also curled up.

Shuya pondered for a moment. These two long-haired, straight-haired girls seemed to have taken a liking to each other.

Shuya gave a brief introduction first.

When it came to introducing Haruno, Mai- chan said, "Hello, Haruno- san, it's been a long time."

"Haven't seen you for a long time."

Haruno smiled at her.

Shuya asked, "What, you two know each other?"

Upon further inquiry, it turned out that they had met once before during filming.

Although Mai- chan's mother declined most of the models' invitations, she still gave Shuya some face and allowed Mai- chan to come once or twice.

But it only includes photos of the cover, fold-out posters, and bonus photos.

Mai- chan came and went in a hurry, but she had met with Haruno before.

She heard that Haruno and Shuya from the same agency, so she went to get to know them.

After they got to know each other, they started chatting.

Mai- chan originally wanted to say a few more sarcastic remarks about Shuya, but seeing that there were many people around, she gave up.

She sidled up to Yukino and curiously inquired about how she and Shuya met, learning that they were classmates.

Upon hearing this, Mai- chan's almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Shuya.

Traitor! What happened to everyone being friendless at school?!

So annoying!

Shuya bewildered, utterly failing to understand her expression.

Mai- chan and Yukino are both excellent girls, have a lot in common, and show signs of becoming friends.

Knowing it was Yukino's first time visiting, she taught her some basic modeling knowledge.

Haruno also joined in, causing trouble and teasing his younger sister.

The Little Senior Sister chuckled softly as she read on.

Shuya found the scene extremely pleasing to the eye.

During the actual filming, Shuya and Mai were the first to arrive.

Given their popularity, they are the obvious choice for this issue's cover.

Hirai Ryuji, Shuya, "Speaking of which, it seems like you and Mai- chan haven't worked together in a long time, right? How about striking a more intimate pose?"

"I don't mind."

Shuya said, "However..."

He glanced at Mai- chan's mother.

"Oh, never mind."

Hirai Ryuji coughed and then readily agreed.

In the end, he simply had Shuya and Mai take some ordinary photos together.

After filming, Shuya wanted to talk to Mai- chan alone, but Mai's mother interrupted him casually a moment later.

Shuya watched them leave.

Even after they had walked away, Shuya could still hear Mai's mother lecturing Mai: "Mai, you're not a child anymore. You need to be more careful about your distance from the opposite sex. Don't act like you used to."

"..."

Mai- chan lowered her head and remained silent.

This was undoubtedly the correct argument, but Shuya always found it jarring.

"Oh dear, Shu-chan, you've been rejected."

Haruno suddenly appeared out of nowhere, took his arm, leaned close, and whispered in his ear.

Shuya shrugged and smiled gently:

"Hehe."

Section 184, 168 Sonoo Hyakka

Shuya's life went smoothly after that, Yukinoshita Sisters' training also progressed smoothly.

It's just that taking the Shinkansen so often is a hassle.

He enlisted the help of the Aoyama Sisters, in exchange for going to Kyoto every Saturday and Sunday to spar with them.

I'll go after school on Friday and return to Tokyo on Sunday night.

It is indeed a waste of time to travel, but he won't go back on his word once he's made a promise.

Yukino would accompany him every time he went, while Haruno would sometimes go and sometimes not, depending on her work schedule.

It's only mid -Itsuki, so there's no rush.

Yukino overpowered, which is why she's progressing so quickly; she'll definitely come in handy when the time comes.

Shuya hasn't worked much lately, focusing only on the relatively easy voice-over work.

He entered a period of stagnation.

I haven't been attending acting and music classes much either.

Kato Nobunaga had stopped sending him a long time ago, saying it was to let him practice in actual combat.
