Souma:

…… You there!

Hm, so it was just Anzu-dono—I apologise. Because my focus was thrown off, I came at you with my blade.

Let me give you a hand up…… Hmm, wait. To recklessly touch a woman is a violation of my family’s teaching.

But, to not help Anzu-dono who fell over from surprise because of me is also against one’s moral code. As expected, at a time like this……

You can get up by yourself? I see. However, please allow me to say this much—I apologise for not first checking who my opponent was before trying to cut them down.

Come to think of it, why is Anzu-dono here?

For the sake of observing an “aidoru” while they’re practicing……? Hmm, Anzu-dono is a “puroduusaa” after all.

To always put effort into your work as a “puroduusaa”—how admirable.

I am a “kurasumeito” of the “puroduusaa”. If there is ever something troubling you—anything at all—please consult with me.

There is no need to be so modest. I am in the care of the “puroduusaa” for various things.

I wish to repay back that kindness, if even a little.

…… Anzu-dono is truly worth admiring.

I have a tendency to carry out my actions without concern for how it will affect others—it is all for the purpose of refining my swordsmanship.

But I have understood that this is not allowed.

I shall endeavour—like Anzu-dono—to fix that indifferent approach of mine to something worth showing. I humbly request that you continue to guide me with utmost enthusiasm from now on too.

That’s right, Anzu-dono—you are here to observe an “aidoru” practicing in action, aren’t you?

I am about to do a “ressun” as a “membaa” of “Akatsuki”.

If it pleases you, could Anzu-dono also watch over me while I practice? It is already about half past four—our “riidaa” Hasumi-dono should be here soon.

Till then, I shall give an explanation of our “membaa”.

…… Hm. Anzu-dono is a “puroduusa”— a grasp of the “membaa” is probably already a given.

But there is still a chance that you do not know, so I shall explain it from the very start.

Hasumi-dono is the “riidaa”—he holds the position of both the Captain of the Archery Club, and the Vice President of the Student Council.

The other person is Kiryuu-dono—he is the Captain of the Karate Club.

Kiryuu-dono does not often like to have conversations with Hasumi-dono. It is for that reason that I am caught between them as the middle-man many times.

I am but a second-year student—one year level below Hasumi-dono and Kiryuu-dono. It is primarily my duty to attend to the chores……

But it is Kiryuu-dono who ends up finishing most of them and it leaves me with no equivalent task to fulfil.

However, I cannot resign myself to this fate.

I have heard that as a “puroduusaa”, Anzu-dono perfectly sees the job through to completion.

Until everyone arrives, could I have you tell me the secret to your success……?
