"Here," Kanata said as she gave Tsukasa the foods she had brought for him.
"Thanks, Kanata," Tsukasa said as he ate a sandwich with relish since he was so hungry.
Kanata looked at Tsukasa, who ate with relish, but calmly, without making the food messy. She wanted to tell him not to train so hard, but she knew that with his limited magic, if he wanted to win the championship of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, he needed to train harder, and this made her feel quite guilty.
"Don't show such an expression. I do this because I like it, not because I'm forced to," Tsukasa said as he held Kanata's hand gently.
"Tsukasa..." Kanata's eyes were brimming with tears as she leaned on his chest.
They stayed in their secret room, where they usually spent their time together.
"By the way, I'm going out to train with Nene-san later," Tsukasa said.
Kanata hesitated, but when she looked at his eyes, she let out a sigh and nodded. "Okay, what do you need? Are millions of dollars enough for you?"
"......"
Tsukasa's eyes twitched when he thought that this girl was the heir of the second richest Zaibatsu in this country. "It's not money, but can you get me a gold or diamond?" He was going to go to another world, so the currency in this world might not be suitable. Instead, precious metal and diamond were the most suitable ones.
Tsukasa might have money, but he had a mama Kanata who could prepare him anything faster, so he asked her for help.
"How many kilograms do you need?" Kanata asked.
"......"
Tsukasa was speechless since he knew they were talking in a different language.
The value of those items was different between the two, but Tsukasa had been with Kanata for a while, so he quickly calmed himself.
Tsukasa hesitated for a moment, then told her how many golds and diamonds he needed.
Kanata took her satellite phone and called her servant to prepare her a large bag and the things that were needed for Tsukasa to train.
While Tsukasa was powerful, especially when Kanata saw his match against Shizuku, his last attack on the giant iceberg could turn it into many ice flakes that fluttered in the sky. Moreover, his swordsmanship was so fast that she couldn't even see the movement of his hands.
Tsukasa was powerful, but the competitors that fought in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival weren't weak either.
Each of the people that could participate in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival was all monsters, and Tsukasa needed to train harder before the event that would be held in four months.
"Okay, I have told my people to send it to the school later. You can take all the things that you need in the evening," Kanata said.
"Thanks, Kanata," Tsukasa said and kissed Kanata's cheek.
Kanata blushed and hugged his neck before she said, "Now that this matter is over. Let's talk about something else."
Tsukasa looked at Kanata and asked, "Do you want a date?"
"Yes." Kanata nodded and said, "After your second match, let's go on a date."
"Okay." Tsukasa nodded and asked, "Do you have somewhere that you want to go?"
Kanata thought for a moment, then shook her head. "No." She then looked at Tsukasa with a smile and said mischievously, "Why don't you surprise me?"
"Surprise you, huh?" Tsukasa thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay, be prepared. I'll take you on a date later this weekend."
Kanata smiled and wanted to kiss him again, but she remembered something. "Now that you've mentioned it. I don't have clothes for the date."
"You don't?" Tsukasa asked Kanata weirdly.
Kanata pouted and said, "After all, I'm not Touka-chan, who you often send clothes to from time to time."
"........"
'What is this Ojou-sama talking about?'
Tsukasa was speechless.
After all, Kanata was rich. If such a rich girl didn't have clothes, what about a normal family?
What would they wear every day?
Rag?
"I mean, I don't have casual clothes, dummy." Kanata flicked Tsukasa's forehead and said, "I only have a dress and those professional clothes."
"I see..." Tsukasa nodded, then said, "Well, let's get them when we're on a date later."
"Okay." Kanata nodded happily.
They kept talking before they started to kiss each other since they really missed each other.
Kanata's body was also burning hot, especially when she recalled about his wild side that he showed in his last match.
Still, even if Tsukasa didn't train, he didn't think he would lose on the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, especially after gaining his new power.
The power that Tsukasa got from Bisho was more convenient than he had thought.
Even if Tsukasa had limited magic, as long as he absorbed the magic of someone, he could become stronger and stronger.
Of course, it didn't mean that Tsukasa could absorb magic unscrupulously since everything depended on his body.
His body was a container of magic that he had absorbed, which was why the stronger his body was, the larger the amount of magic that he could absorb.
However, as Tsukasa had said before, he didn't really want to use this ability since he wasn't strong enough.
His ability was ridiculously strong, and he was afraid that an assassin might come to kill him.
The best way to live was to live a low-key life, having a harem, and enjoying life until old age.
As they parted their lips, Tsukasa looked at Kanata and asked, "Still, you have invited me on a date so suddenly. Do you believe that I will win the second match?"
"Yes." Kanata nodded without hesitation. "While this person is strong among the majority of the Blazers in this academy, he's nothing compared to you."
"Who is my opponent?" Tsukasa asked since he knew that Kanata was the one who set up his match.
"Momotani, the Heavy Tank. Do you know?" Kanata asked.
"Oh?" Tsukasa was surprised, then nodded. "If I'm not wrong, Stella's first opponent is this guy, right?"
However, Tsukasa felt weird when Kanata's expression changed. "What's wrong?"
"Is it only me, or has your relationship with that princess become so close now?" Kanata asked with a frown.
".........."
Tsukasa held Kanata's hand tenderly and said, "Isn't it normal that we're close. The two of us are friends after all." He didn't lie since his relationship with Stella was a friend, rival, and even a lover. He only mentioned one of them, but even so, he didn't lie, right?
"Instead of talking about this, there's something more important to do, right?" Tsukasa said and pushed Kanata on the sofa.
"Kyaa~~." Kanata squalled, but she didn't run away. Instead, she smiled as she caressed his cheek. "I love you, Tsukasa."
Tsukasa stared at Kanata for a moment, then gave his warmest smile. "I love you, Kanata." However, he felt his body was cold, and he remembered the pain of many sharp knives that were stabbed on several parts of his body.
But even so, Tsukasa kissed Kanata's lips warmly yet wildly.
Tsukasa might be preoccupied with getting stronger, but he knew that he needed to solve this problem too, or else his past would come and haunt him again.
