Chapter 32: Reconciliation?

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Let me see Chio!”

No matter what, I had to get Chio to recover. But why did it come to this…?

“Master, please step back!”

“We’ll handle this punk!”

“We don’t know what dirty tricks you used, but we don’t believe you beat Chio-san!”

“Come at us!”

Just as Chio’s dad stood in my way, four dojo students stood up…

““““We, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Aheiku Dojo—””””

“I’m telling you, I just want to apologize to Chio and get her to come back to school! Ugh, get out of my way!”

“No questions! Take this, nhoh!?”

“Damn it, don’t come at me! I ended up counterattacking reflexively!”

“Ngh, not bad! But don’t get cocky just because you took down one—the weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings, Fugebarobo!?”

“Ugh, screw it! Blue Flame!!”

“What’s this fire!? Uhooooh!?”

Things had gotten completely out of control… What should I do…?

“Ngh… Your technique is rough, but… Strong!”

“Haa~ He’s got good talent~ And so lively too.”

“Hmm… Maybe it is true that Chio lost against him…”

“Not bad, right? That girl, Chio, always said she’d only accept a man stronger than her, rejecting every marriage proposal, but this guy…”

Ugh, whatever! If they stood in my way, I’d blast through!

“Take that, you rascal! No matter how talented he is, taking some unknown punk as a son-in-law, let alone the dojo’s heir… Well, a magic academy student might have good lineage and prospects…”

“He doesn’t seem like the soft city boys of the empire lately… Rough, and I can tell by his scent. That guy’s got insane libido~♥ He looks delicious~♥”

“Wait, you’re even eyeing Chio’s suitor!?”

“Hm? Isn’t it your fault for being a pervert who only gets excited watching your wife with another man? How about it? Wouldn’t a mother-daughter bowl in front of you get you going?”

“Uho!? M-My cute Chio-chan and my beloved wife… With a son-in-law… Oh, just imagining it, such a wild thing… I’m getting hard…”

Despite my rampage, Chio’s parents didn’t seem to have a bad impression about me? They even looked pleased? What was this? Was it because this was a martial arts dojo, and showing strength earned respect? It felt chaotic, but if this got me to see Chio…

“Anyway, I won’t back down from anyone! If it’s to see Chio again, I won’t lose to any opponent!”

““Oh~… Nice!””

Chio’s parents grinned at my words.

“Thump thump, thump thump//////”

Then…

“Well… The person herself is right there~”

“Hyan!”

“Come on~ What’re you sneaking around for?”

“M-Mama…”

At that moment, when Chio’s mom opened the dojo’s sliding door, Chio, who’d apparently been peeking inside, tumbled in.

“Chio!?”

“Hya, a-ah, y-you…”

Chio! It was Chio!

“Chioooo!”

“Gyaa! D-Don’t come near me, you perverted lewd senpai! Stay away—”

“I’m so sorryyyy!”

“…Weh?”

Thank goodness. I’d heard she was locked in her room, but she’d shown her face. I dove into a full-on dogeza to apologize to Chio.

“I did something awful to you! I’m really, truly sorry!”

“Weh, uh, w-well…”

“I want to make it up to you however I can. If you tell me to walk naked through the academy, I’ll do it! Please, please, just feel better and come back to school!”

“Tch, t-that’s…E-even if you say that… After what you did to me!”

As expected, a simple bow wasn’t going to earn forgiveness easily. Chio groaned, “Uuu~,” her face red, likely from recalling the embarrassment.

“Chio, it happened during a duel, right? Then it was an accident, wasn’t it?”

“B-But, Mama! It wasn’t just an accident! A-At first, maybe, but h-he… My place and my butt… h-he did that to my… My…”

“Blaming your duel opponent for your own shortcomings is a bit too petty, Chio.”

“Ugh, uuu~”

Chio’s mom delivered a stern opinion. Like her dad, Chio couldn’t defy her mom… Time for one more push.

“Chio… Even so, I’m the one who humiliated you. So… I don’t care if you hate me, but please come back to school.”

“W-What… A-Anyway, you…”

If she’d just come to school and walk the hero’s path, that’d be enough for now. So…

“I-I mean… Whether I go to school or not is none of your business! It’s my choice! I-It’s not like… You’re anything to me, and you’ve got tons of other girls around you… Yeah, you’ve got that servant girl, Nemeth, and all those other girls…”

Huh? That’s irrelevant… Well, whatever, moving on…

“Sure, I’m nothing to you. But because we dueled, I know how strong you are and how much of a waste it’d be to let that overwhelming talent rot!”

“Tch, w-what…”

Yeah, because in my last life, I let Sword and Magina’s talents go to waste…

“Chio… You’re a girl who can become a hero! I’m certain you have the talent to lead humanity and save the world!”

And that wasn’t a lie. She actually did it in the last loop.

“W-What’s with you all of a sudden… A-Are you an idiot? H-Humanity, the world, a hero…”

“Even if you don’t believe it, I do. I’m certain of it! That’s why I want you to recover! For a girl as strong as you not to aim for the world.. What a loss that’d be for humanity!”

Even with her confidence, she might not get it right now if I told her she could become a hero, but…

“What a wild guy… Not a hint of doubt in his eyes… Such a passionate man…”

“He’s serious… He’s saying what he truly believes about Chio… The words she’s always wanted, as a girl whose dream of being the ultimate martial artist was mocked for all her life…”

Nonetheless, it seemed my intention got through to her a little bit. Chio’s parents and the surrounding students, though stunned, had serious expressions.

“B-But… I-I was seen in such an embarrassing state by everyone… I know I act cocky, but… If I go to school, everyone will laugh at me…”

“So what! You’re scared of being laughed at? Shut those small-fry up! If you don’t want to do that yourself, I’ll deal with anyone who laughs! I won’t forgive anyone who mocks you! So you’ve got nothing to worry about! I’ll take care of your fears!”

“S-Senpai…”

That’d be easy. In my last life, even as a powerless guy, I used my family’s influence to silence people at the academy before Nemeth and the others enrolled. Using Father and Big Brother’s authority might be shameful, but to help Chio recover, it was an extralegal measure.

“So, come back to school and lead the world.”

Then…

“…Pfft… Haha… Hahahahahaha, what’s with you, Senpai? I feel so stupid for worrying about all this stuff. But you’re an even bigger idiot than me.”

“…Chio?”

“Hehe, you’re so intense. Geez… Senpai, you’re such a hot-blooded idiot.”

With a relieved expression, Chio laughed.

“Senpai, listen—”

This was it. Finally, everything resolved nicely—

“Uooooh, Bocchamaaa! Where are you going, leaving your portable meat toilet and bodyguard behind!? (Going to Chio’s house is too dangerous! I won’t forgive any reconciliation leading to passionate sex!!)”

“Goshujin-samaaa! I came without your permission! Please spank my butt and train me like a pig! (I won’t let another weird girl join in like Nemeth or Toilette. I’ll crush this development!!)”

“Geez, you two are too fast~ Ah, Habiri~ It’s mean to leave your bride behind. I wanted to hold hands and flirt on the way home today~ And if we got in the mood… Hehe, maybe we can do something naughty~♥”

“If it’s an orgy you are seeking, today is my safe day.”

Just when I thought it was resolved, Sword, Magina, Toilette, and Ichikuno stormed into the dojo.

“…Huh? S-Senpai? What’s going on here?”

Nooo, don’t come here!!
