Ayase, the Little Angel

I don't think so; I haven't heard any rumors about it.

Shuya shook his head.

As he and Yukino were talking, they walked to the shoe cabinet, changed their shoes, and left the teaching building.

Unable to reach a conclusion, they each went home.

Shuya and Yukino's families are completely different.

Yukino to and from school on her own, unlike when she was in elementary school when she rode in her family's car.

Shuya has no plans today, another day of being a couch potato.

He had only walked a few steps when someone contacted him on Line.

He clicked on it and saw:

Shuya- senpai, I'm free today, may I come to your house?

It's a message from Ayase.

Section 338, Chapter 321 Ayase the Little Angel

Aragaki Ayase chuunibyou (middle school sophomore) this year.

A beautiful girl.

She and Shuya have some connection; they were classmates at the same elementary school.

Although they had never met at the time.

The first real meeting was when Shuya was in his second year of junior high school. The elementary school principal came to invite him back to the school so he could share his experiences with the elementary school students in the kendo club.

After Shuya, who had won a swordsmanship competition, graduated, the school never won another award. The principal hoped that he would share his training methods and competition experience.

Shuya knew that the principal just wanted to generate buzz and put on a show for parents and the media, but he found it hard to refuse such a request from his alma mater.

So Shuya took some time to visit the elementary school, casually shared his experience, and sparred with the elementary school students.

What I thought would be an extremely boring day turned out to be surprisingly fruitful.

At the time, Aragaki Ayase, who looked like an Angel, was a member of the kendo club in fifth grade.

During his teaching period Shuya came into contact with her and discovered that Ayase had a special constitution.

She possesses extreme focus and a rapid learning ability when she is serious, and she has a strong capacity to absorb martial arts knowledge.

It is an excellent physique for martial arts training.

While not as naturally gifted as those with Natural Martial Bone, they are still considered top-tier talent.

... After she cultivated her inner energy, her physical potential manifested, and her eyes became somewhat eerie whenever she became extremely focused in battle.

Shuya didn't know what kind of constitution this was; it must be something new that had appeared.

The concept of martial arts physique is a very niche area of knowledge, with only a few types of physiques, such as those with Natural Martial Bone or Heavenly Demon Body, being widely known.

Not everyone with a special physical condition has the opportunity to practice martial arts.

With so many people in the world, no one can say for sure what kind of magical constitution someone might have.

Anyway, after Shuya noticed Ayase's special qualities, he exchanged contact information with her and would give her martial arts pointers when he had time.

He admitted that her face was a major factor in his willingness to teach her.

However, a significant portion of them also value talent.

Shuya was very busy during middle school, so he asked Tsuruko to help train him.

Ayase learned the Shinmeiryu and received guidance from Shuya. After entering the sixth grade, she won the swordsmanship competition with her sharp Iaijutsu.

After entering middle school, she no longer participated in the kendo club. She did not give up martial arts training, but she focused on her daily life.

Soon after, she was persuaded by Hanazawa Sakura to join the agency and become a model.

Shuya knew that his mother had been very craving Ayase- chan the first time she saw her.

She really wanted to recruit her into the voice acting industry, but Ayase was quite averse to things like frozen eels due to family reasons.

Hanazawa Sakura had a subtle, scheming plan: to first turn her into a model.

That's the same as Yukino's.

Yukino is also a member of Hanazawa Sakura's modeling agency. She has no interest in becoming a voice actress and wants to focus on her studies first.

When Shuya returned home, he found Ayase already there.

She wore a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, revealing her long, beautiful legs; her outfit was very revealing.

She was concentrating on sweeping the floor.

"Ayase- chan, didn't you just send me a message? You got here so fast."

Shuya was somewhat speechless.

With that kind of drive, coupled with the often empty look in her eyes during battles, why did he feel that Ayase- chan had a yandere personality?

... That's impossible! Ayase- Angel is such a kind and angelic girl, how could she possibly be a yandere?

Ayase- chan smiled cutely and said, "Ah, that's because when I arrived at Shuya- senpai's house, I realized it would be impolite to come in without informing him, so I sent you a message on the spur of the moment."

"... Very good, indeed very polite."

Shuya scratched his head; what he said made a lot of sense.

There are quite a few flaws.

As for how Ayase got in...

She has a key to Shuya's house.

As a way of repaying Shuya for teaching her, Ayase would take time out of her week to do housework and cook, Shuya gave her a key to his house.

"Shuya- senpai, I'm planning to make curry tonight, is that alright?"

"Sure, I like everything Ayase makes."

Shuya answered casually.

Ayase said with dissatisfaction, "Honestly, Shuya- senpai. It's because of your frivolous attitude that you attract so many girls."

She was a little sulky.

"I'm used to it. Hmm, I'll go change first, you can peek."

Shuya shrugged, walked up the stairs, and reached out to ruffle Ayase's hair as he passed by.

Ayase looked displeased and moved away.

"Really, senior, I would never peek."

She muttered something and tidied her hair.

Xiu didn't think she liked him either.

Ayase's feelings for him were probably more of admiration.

After Shuya changed his clothes and came downstairs, Ayase was sweeping the living room.

"Ayase- chan, if you're busy, you don't need to come so frequently."

He doesn't need much cleaning; even if Ayase doesn't come to help, he has plenty of helpers.

"No, I'll feel very uneasy if you won't even let me do this little thing."

Ayase firmly rejected Shuya's offer.

She didn't want to accept Shuya's guidance for nothing.

Not Shuya's place, she would occasionally go to the Shinmeiryu to clean, as a way of repaying Tsuruko's kindness in teaching her.

She is very stubborn.

But this principled personality is what makes her so charming.

"All right."

Shuya trying to persuade him and sprawled out on the sofa like a grandpa, turning on the TV to watch the news.

"... Next, let's take a look at the situation at Tumi Amusement Park."

"Since this morning, Tumi Amusement Park has been packed with people. Because there are so many people queuing to buy tickets, the park has had to add extra staff to sell tickets. Look at the scene!"

Outside the amusement park where Shuya and Mai went yesterday, reporters were reporting.

He moved the camera away, and the television showed the amusement park in full swing.

This amusement park, which is never full even on holidays, has finally ushered in spring.

Not long ago, the amusement park owner was also puzzled. He received a long call from his employees early in the morning complaining that they were short-staffed.

To be honest, at first he thought the employees wanted a raise, but when he returned to the amusement park, he found it was already packed. He had no choice but to hurriedly bring the staff who were on holiday back to work.

Even so, it's still not enough to manage the situation, and even more people can't get into the amusement park.

The boss worked on it for a long time before he found out the reason.

He found it hard to imagine how his own amusement park could become a date spot for the Ming Dynasty.

Shouldn't we be heading to that mouse's dreamland?

Could it be that?

People finally understand just how captivating the sharp eyes of their amusement park's mascot Tumi-chan, truly are.

As the boss was thinking proudly, a mascot suddenly appeared in front of him, its bloodshot eyes startling him.

He almost swore.

But this impact was so captivating to him.

The mascot was there to get the boss to give an interview.

Shuya listened to the boss's expression of gratitude conveyed through the interview, he realized that not charging for the advertising this time was indeed a loss.

He didn't dwell on it too much; that amusement park held memories for him and Mai- chan, and it would be painful for it to close down.

Wow, this amusement park is so crowded!

Ayase stood to the side, sighing.

"You can go hang out with Kirino."

Shuya suggested it.

"No, there are too many people."

Ayase gave a very honest answer.

"However, if Shuya- senpai would like to invite me, I would be happy to go with him."

I also hate crowded places.

Shuya gestured for Ayase to look at his current lazy, nonchalant posture.

Chapter 340, Section 322: The Allure of That Shot

"Then forget it."

Ayase nodded and then continued cleaning.

She worked quickly and efficiently, but because she cleaned so carefully and meticulously, it took her quite a while.

As Shuya was watching TV and waiting for her, the phone rang.

It's Maeda Saori.

"Shu-chan."

"What's wrong?"
