Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

Shinomiya Kurono said this without any surprise, after all, there was really nothing surprising about it, as Haramura Makoto's intelligence had already proven to her countless times since yesterday.

"indeed!"

"I have to admit that if the Familion royal family investigates, even if I am the principal of this academy, I will be in considerable trouble."

He rested his hands on the table, interlacing his fingers, and propped his chin on them, shifting his gaze to Stella.

"But you've overlooked one thing."

"As long as Princess Stella agrees, then it doesn't matter."

Chapter 057 Do you find me troublesome?

"How could I possibly agree to something like this..."

Shy as I may be, I will remain silent as I may be.

However, Stella couldn't wait until she heard what Shinomiya Kurono said. If she acquiesced now, wouldn't that make the matter a fait accompli?

"Well, let's not be in such a hurry."

"There are reasons why I did this."

Shinguji Kurono lit another cigarette, put it in her mouth, and began to speak eloquently.

"In the past, Po Jun Academy had never had a situation where boys and girls shared dormitories."

"But you should also know very well that Po Jun Academy's performance in the past few years has not been good. Even though the students' basic qualities are not much worse than those of the other six academies, their performance has declined year by year. Therefore, in order to revitalize Po Jun Academy, the council appointed me as the principal and sent me here."

At this point, Shinomiya Kuroko glanced at Stella and Haramura Makoto, and seeing that neither of them directly refuted her, she continued speaking.

"So the moment I took office, I established my own teaching guidelines."

"In order to revitalize the college and instill a sense of crisis and competition among students, it is not about seat number, gender, or even background."

"Those with similar abilities will be assigned to the same dormitory."

Makoto Haramura immediately shut up. Shinomiya Kurono's comment about something having no origin was definitely directed at him.

Shinomiya Kurono was clearly satisfied with the effect she had created, so her current focus was now entirely on Stella.

"Putting aside other issues, Stella, you should be able to admit it, right?"

"The stimulation of a suitable competitor is so profound that I could say I might not have grown to this point if it weren't for that annoying guy."

"Of course, I'm not completely heartless. Whenever possible, I will arrange for same-sex swordsmen to share a room."

"But as the only two A-rank knights, you two are the most suitable in the entire academy."

"Think about it, Stella, why did you come to this academy?"

Once again, her words directly hit the nail on the head, at least making Stella fall into deep thought.

(Yes, I came here to become stronger.)

Stella Vermillion!

You can tell from her surname that she comes from a country called the Kingdom of Familion.

Stella was also one of the princesses.

Normally, this would be a bright and carefree start to life, a wonderful beginning to a happy one.

But that's not actually the case.

Because Stella was born with powerful magic from a young age, she couldn't control her magic well when she first awakened it.

Therefore, in her childhood, she would unintentionally radiate her own power, making the area around her extremely hot, and sometimes even burning herself.

At that time, many people even judged that she might not be able to become a Magic Knight.

After all, the greater the power, the more difficult it is to control.

However, she still managed to control this power through her own efforts, and only after controlling this power was she able to realize it more clearly.

The country of Familia is far too weak.

There isn't even a single powerful, respectable magic knight.

If such a power existed in this country, she might have been able to control it more easily in her childhood.

Therefore, she wants to become a force in this country.

She wants to exchange her talent for her own power, to become an existence like the Japanese God of War and the Black Iron Dragon Horse, and to become the guardian deity of the Kingdom of Familion.

The woman in front of them was one of the top three in the entire league.

Perhaps her suggestion really could...

"That's settled then. From today onwards, you two will live together as roommates."

Shinguji Kurono smiled suddenly and made a formal announcement.

With just one glance at the silent Stella, she knew that this princess had already made her choice in her heart.

So she wanted to put it all in one fell swoop and settle the matter.

"and many more……"

"The competition you mentioned, it's enough that Miss Stella and I are in the same class, right?"

"There's absolutely no need to go to this extent."

Makoto Haramura quickly interrupted Kurono Shinguji.

He had indeed refrained from speaking earlier because of Shinguji Kurono's threat, but he was actually hoping that Stella would object.

After all, only Stella's opposition can have any effect.

But Stella just gave up like that, how could he accept that?

"Forget it, Miss Stella obviously doesn't care anymore. Why are you, a grown man, still dawdling like this?"

Shinguji Kurono spat disdainfully, but a playful smile also appeared on her face.

"Speaking of which, you're probably just finding it troublesome, aren't you?"

"..."

Completely speechless, Makoto Haramura shut his mouth as if his secret had been directly exposed.

But Shinguji Kurono showed no intention of letting him off the hook.

"You probably dislike Stella, thinking she'll cause you a lot of trouble."

That's right, that's it.

From the very beginning, Makoto Haramura's procrastination stemmed from his aversion to trouble.

What others see as a stroke of good fortune, like winning the lottery, brings him nothing but endless trouble.

First of all, he is not prepared to have too intimate a relationship with a woman he has only known for a short time.

It wasn't that he was bragging, but he always seemed to inexplicably attract the attention of many women.

But he wasn't the kind of lecherous man who would accept any pretty girl.

After all, if he were to act like that, probably not a single girl in the 'Leo' zodiac group who admires him would be able to escape.

His progress with Misaki Shokuhou was also due to the fact that this girl did have qualities that attracted him.

Secondly, if the Familion royal family really investigates this matter, Shinguji Kurono will certainly not escape responsibility, but will he, the guy who actually lives in the same room as Stella, be exempt from being held responsible?

The answer is yes.

So, the conclusion is that he didn't have any special feelings for Stella, nor did he gain anything from her, so why would he provoke such a thankless and troublesome matter?

The answer is of course no.

"Bam—!"

Suddenly, the temperature in the office rose sharply, and the scorching heat instantly soaked Makoto Haramura's back with sweat.

At the same time, a voice filled with extreme anger rang out.

"You think I'm a nuisance?"

Chapter 058 The Battle with Stella

The atmosphere is distorted!

The temperature keeps rising!

The entire room had turned fiery red!

Crimson flames draped over Stella like a haori, constantly burning the surrounding air.

"Haramura-kun, you mean sharing a room with me is a hassle, right?"

Just now, Stella herself was actually about to agree.

After all, she still believed that the world's third-ranked player was credible, and that competing with Haramura, who was also an A-rank player, would provide her with a great sense of excitement.

Of course, the main reason is that Makoto Haramura made a very good impression on her just now.

At least in Stella's memory, Makoto Haramura was a powerful, noble, and polite gentleman.

Living with a man like that shouldn't be too difficult for anyone to accept.

However, he hadn't said anything yet.

The man actually refused, and his reason was that he disliked her.

She hadn't even looked down on him yet, and was already prepared to condescend to accept him, but this man actually looked down on her.

This is an insult to her.

It was a complete and utter insult to her.

"This kind of humiliation is unbearable for me."

"There is only one way to quell my anger: a duel."

Stella suddenly stretched out her arm toward Makoto Haramura, sparks flying from her fingertips, her eyes burning with a fierce fighting spirit.

"A showdown."

"..."

"I said, Princess..."

Being pointed at like that, Haramura Makoto was slightly annoyed, and his tone became irritable. However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Shinguji Kurono's words.

"That's settled then. We'll talk about the dorm situation after the duel."

"Stella, you go to the tenth training ground first. I have something to say to this guy."

Princess Crimson Lotus stormed off in a rage, without even asking the exact location of the tenth training ground.

"What exactly are you planning?"

"I don't think your arrangement is necessary at all."

He had wanted to go to sleep, but another troublesome matter arose, making Haramura Makoto a little irritable.

"It was just a coincidence."

"Otherwise, I was originally going to arrange for a man to fight you, so that you would realize the problems you have."

“Since Stella herself requested it, then it’s the same if she comes.”

"After you've fought with her, you'll know how useful my advice is to you."

Shinomiya Kurono tapped the table lightly with her fingers, making a rhythmic sound, while watching Haramura Makoto with a light laugh.

Makoto Haramura stared at Kurono Shinguji for a while, then finally gave up his stance in despair.

"Fine, I owe you a favor."

"Forget it this time."

Makoto Haramura turned around, walked to the door, and looked back at Kurono Shinguji with a calm gaze.

"But next time, I still hope that this won't happen again."
