I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"Now that you mention it...it seems a bit?"

Is this just one point?

Kurogane Shizuku felt like she was about to see a little red heart.

"Hmm? What are you talking about?"

Stella also came over on her own initiative. Maybe she felt that Kurogane Shizuku was too close to Kurogane Ikki, so she wanted to show her presence.

"It's nothing. Stella is stupid, so she wouldn't understand even if I told her."

"Hey! Why are you cursing for no reason?"

Stella and Kurogane Jushizuku were arguing with each other again, while Okita Souji and Ayatsuji Ayase were...

"Well, it's a deal. We'll have lunch together today and give you a grade on my cooking skills."

It wasn't a difficult request, so Okita Souji naturally had no reason to refuse.

So she nodded... and then she was picked up by a group of people wearing black robes and hoods and holding sickles.

Before Okita Souji could react, she was taken to a court-like place. In front of her was a man in a black robe with an "F" on his hood and red eyes. He was holding a small wooden gavel and banging on the table.

"Silence! Silence! Now is the serious interrogation phase!"

Okita Souji was stunned for about three seconds, then said in shock: "FFF Group?!"

"Exactly! We are the Inquisition! The FFF!"

"No, why are you here?"

"How can a mere dimensional wall stop the progress of our Inquisition?"

The gavel struck the table again.

"Your defense ends here! Heretic! Do you know what a crime you have committed? Come! Present the evidence of the sinner!"

The man in black robe sitting in the main seat waved his hand, and then another man in black robe threw a stack of papers in front of him.

"Why are there so many?"

"Shut up, heretic! Your crimes are as follows!" The black-robed man picked up a piece of paper and said, "First! A girl made you a lunch box. Second! You dated a girl. Third! You held a girl's hand. Fourth! You hugged a girl. Fifth! There were often two or more beautiful girls around you. Sixth! You ate and lived with a girl..."

After reading the sixth chapter, the man in black robe could not read any further.

Even Okita Souji himself didn't know...that he was actually living such an enviable life?

A large number of people in black robes sat in the jury boxes surrounding the courtroom. Some of them held sickles and some held torches, with scarlet light shining in their eyes.

At the main seat, the man in black robe who had been talking suddenly burned all the papers, and then slammed the gavel as if to seal the final judgment.

"Torture! Death penalty! Repeated execution!"

Although I don’t know whether these torches and sickles can kill me...but no one should want to be executed for no reason, right?

Souji Okita is a servant. Although I don’t know where these FFF members came from, it’s impossible for a group of students to defeat servants, right?

So, Okita Souji wanted to draw her sword, but suddenly a rope came out from nowhere and tied her tightly to the chair.

I don’t know what the structure of this chair and the rope is. No matter how Okita Souji struggles, the rope shows no sign of breaking.

Not really? Although strength wasn't Okita Souji's strong point, no matter how weak she was, she couldn't be unable to break free from a rope that looked like cheap goods, right?

"Oh no...it's going to be bad."

The group of black-robed men holding torches and sickles had already surrounded them, and even someone as strong as Okita Souji felt a little scared for a moment.

Ah, Miss Okita is so wise and brave. The sorcerer from a thousand years ago couldn’t kill me, and the world’s best swordsman couldn’t kill me. Am I going to be defeated here today?

Wait a minute? It seems like the person who killed the sorcerer from a thousand years ago was Bavanshi?

Never mind, it’s all “me” anyway.

While Souji Okita was still daydreaming without any sense of tension, someone among the men in black robes suddenly raised a hand.

"President! Wait a minute!"

The black-robed man sitting in the main seat looked over when he heard this. It seemed that he was the president. Then another black-robed man walked out of the crowd and trotted to the side of the president.

"President, we seem to have made a mistake. This person is a girl."

"Ok?"

The president exclaimed in surprise, then looked towards Okita Souji.

Not only him, but the group of black-robed people around him also locked their eyes on Okita Souji. Being locked in by hundreds of gazes made Okita Souji feel uncomfortable all over.

Fortunately, this uncomfortable situation for Souji Okita did not last long, and the crowd suddenly became excited.

"Yes! This seems to be a girl!"

"So we've got the wrong guy?"

"What should we do? Should we capture the guy who gave her the lunch box earlier?"

"You're stupid, that's also a girl."

"Girls delivering lunch boxes to other girls? Isn't that the legendary..."

"Lily! Lily! Lily Supreme! Long live Lily! Lily--!"

The person who just shouted "Long live Lily" was immediately beaten up by the people around him, and from time to time, words like "If all the girls go to Lily, how can we find singleness, you idiot" could be heard.

"Silence! Silence!"

The black-robed president knocked the gavel again, and the noisy black-robed people suddenly quieted down.

"Ahem! Since the prisoner is a girl, she's not a heretic and doesn't need to be punished by our Inquisition, the 'FFF Group.'"

"Here, I declare the final decision - not guilty!"

"freed!"

And then... Okita Souji woke up from his bed.

That’s right, all those things just now were dreams.

It could probably be categorized as a nightmare.

After waking up, Souji Okita discovered that he was being held tightly by Edwards like a pillow.

So... this is why she was tied to a chair and unable to move in her dream?

Reaching out to the bedside table, Souji Okita found his student handbook. He originally just wanted to check the time.

But after opening it and seeing the player information on the match list, Souji Okita's eyes, which were originally covered with a layer of mist, lit up the next moment.

Chapter 89 Golden Lightning (7/31)

"It's another sunny day."

Okita Souji has been to the contestants' lounge many times and has become somewhat accustomed to it.

Her competition will start soon. Unlike her previous opponents, this time her opponent is definitely not on the same level as those people.

To be honest, she didn't really care that much about the so-called Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, at least not as much as Ikki Kurogane and Stella.

The only plot she knew was up to the end of the representative selection competition, and she knew almost nothing about the plot related to the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival.

All I know is that in the later plot, Ikki Kurogane and Stella broke through to the level of her sister Edwards and Nin Saikyo.

But...it doesn't seem like the breakthrough happened during the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, right? Maybe it happened later in the story...I have no idea. The plot in the anime is so short. Why didn't she update more when she was following the show?

Then, in the Seven Star Sword Dance storyline... Ikki Kurogane's brother will appear, right? Remember his name is Kurogane Ouma? He's a tough guy who could crush Stella. Both Ikki Kurogane and Toudou Touka have been defeated by him.

It seems that there is an even more powerful character in the original novel who plays the shadow of her sister Edelweiss, whose name is...what's it?

As for the title, it seems to be "Bloody Da Vinci"?

I wonder how Leonardo da Vinci would react after knowing the existence of this person. It would be very interesting.

I believe there will be many powerful opponents at the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, but unfortunately, Souji Okita is not very interested in those people.

What she wanted to see more was a pure swordsman like Edwards and Kurogane Ikki.

The previous Kurashiki Kōto was also a good swordsman, although he had a bad personality. But Okita Souji had seen many people with worse personalities than him.

Rather, it seems that most of the swordsmen that Okita Souji knew before were as bad and cruel as Kurashiki Kōto.

After all, the Shinsengumi that Souji Okita belongs to is always considered to have members who are either gangsters or weirdos.

That's why she wanted to see how the protagonist Ikki Kurogane reached the level of Edwards step by step, and how the protagonist polished his "sword" bit by bit.

only……

"I don't know if Kurogane Ikki can still comprehend the One-Sword Rakshasa like in the original novel in this final match."

Souji Okita opened his student handbook and saw a person's name prominently listed in the opponent column.

Dongtang Daohua.

"My little butterfly seems to have grown bigger with its wings."

Souji Okita checked the weather forecast and it said that the sun would be shining brightly all day.

"Today's weather isn't suitable for thunder..."

…………

"Everyone! The moment you've all been waiting for has finally arrived!"

The noise was deafening and the hot waves of voices almost blew the ceiling of the entire arena apart.

"Everyone is very excited, even me. After all, the contestants appearing today are all extraordinary. I'm sure everyone is so excited that they can't sleep, right?"

"An eye-catching matchup! The first contestant to appear is our Okita Souji!"

Wearing a school uniform, with his cherry-pink shoulder-length hair swaying slightly, Okita Souji walked up the stairs step by step and onto the ring.

"Although he's a freshman who just enrolled this year, he's been able to maintain an undefeated record all the way here. Because every battle so far has ended in an instant, countless people call him "Setsuna" with awe! A flash of brilliance—Okita Souji!"

Unlike when Okita Souji participated in her first game, there were many people in the audience cheering for her.

Although she was only a D-rank knight, and her ability in the information was only the most useless "physical enhancement system", she reversed those impressions with her powerful strength.

This is the norm in this world.

"Come on, Souji!"

From the layers of sound waves, Souji Okita heard several familiar voices.

Then, she saw Kurogane Ikki, Ayase Ayatsuji, Stella, Kurogane Shushizuku, and Arisuin Nagi in the audience.

There must be no one else with such a loud voice except Stella, right?

"Really are……"

Okita Souji unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth into an arc that showed both helplessness and gentleness.

She closed her eyes, then opened them again, staring at the figure opposite her with a serious look in her eyes.

Her long chestnut hair was tied into two big pigtails, which looked very rustic at first glance, especially when she usually wore a pair of silly round glasses, much like the nerdy girl who only knew how to study and often appeared in comics.

However, Japanese works seem to be very fond of contrast cuteness, so generally these nerdy girls will become amazing after taking off their glasses and dressing up a little.

The person in front of Souji Okita is also of this type. She will take off her glasses when fighting. Although her pigtails remain unchanged, her entire temperament will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Souji Okita's understanding of the plot before the Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival almost all comes from the anime, but his understanding of the plot after that almost all comes from fan fiction.

I remember that the heroine in a fan fiction about "The Heroic Tale of the Failed Knight" that I read before seemed to be Touhua Dongtang?

"The one he's up against is none other than our school's student council president, ranked number one on campus. If he's afraid of his swiftness, he'll retreat. If he's weak, he'll be defeated."

"Last year's Seven Star Sword Dance Festival semi-finalist, and also the undefeated so far, third-year player Toudou Touka, the [Raikiri]!"

"Golden flash meets instant silver brilliance, which one wins?"

When Touhua Toudou, whose body was surrounded by golden lightning and looked like the god of thunder, appeared on the stage, the cheers, encouragement and shouts from the audience reached their peak at this moment.

It is said that when the air is subjected to a strong electric shock, it will produce nitric oxide and ozone, and then the nitric oxide and oxygen will undergo an oxidation reaction to produce nitrogen dioxide with a pungent odor.

When Touhua Toudou, who was surrounded by golden lightning, approached, Souji Okita seemed to smell an unpleasant smell... Could that be nitrogen dioxide?

But... it's really handsome.

Looking at the lightning bursting out from Toudou Touka's body, Okita Souji couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
