Chapter 118: Tight-lipped

"So you want to duel Ii?"

Rokkaku guessed, seeing how she was staring at him.

"A wise choice"

Sasaki intoned.

"Definitely easier than fighting Kitajo."

Aritada said seriously, agreeing with him.

Ii looked at them, struggling to comprehend what they were talking about.

"Ehh…?"

He felt like there was something he was missing, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"They're saying you're weak."

Honjou said in a deep voice, pointing out the obvious for his rather dim-witted friend.

"What…?"

He questioned, as though baffled.

"They're not wrong."

Enya said with a small nod.

He turned to look at his small friend sharply, as though hurt, and sniffled heavily.

"Even you… Enya… After all we've been through together."

But in response to his pretend weeping, Enya merely turned his back.

"Go and prove us wrong. But for now, you're definitely the weakest."
