Su Chen had Kanao Tsuyuri's little heart firmly in his grasp in an instant.
The next moment, Su Chen's voice suddenly rang out. "Come on, Kanao, say it with me. Pinky swear, hang for breaking it, no changing for a hundred years!"
Kanao blushed crimson. Although she did not understand exactly what it meant, she still repeated softly, "Pinky swear... no changing for a hundred years."
Su Chen froze. "What about the hanging?"
The girl paused, then asked with an embarrassed expression, "Su Chen, can we leave out the hanging?"
Su Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Sure! Of course! We'll just pinky swear and leave out the hanging!"
"Mhm!" Kanao pressed her lips together, then smiled sweetly. "Then it's a promise, Su Chen~!"
Their thumbs touched, symbolically sealing the promise.
The next moment, the girl ran off, her face flushed crimson.
Watching Kanao flee in disarray, Su Chen gently rubbed the fingers he had just used.
The girl's distinctive fragrance still lingered on them.
The sky was clear, with white clouds drifting overhead.
In front of the Ubuyashiki Residence.
Dressed extravagantly, Tengen Uzui stood at the center of the stage and announced with fiery enthusiasm, "Let's welcome both contestants!"
Boom!
A whirlwind of a figure rushed onto the stage at the speed of light.
He had a face that could make children cry, and bulging veins covered his body.
One look was enough to tell he meant business.
On the other side, our protagonist, Su Chen, slowly walked onto the stage.
His white robes fluttered, his bearing calm and otherworldly.
The Nichirin Blade at his waist gleamed in the sunlight.
The moment Su Chen stepped onto the stage, he drew Tengen Uzui's particular attention.
This kid has a bit of my old flair.
