*Thud*
"Whoa!?" Mike bumped into someone, and several boxes fell on the impact. He and the girl fell to the floor as well.
"Uhh..." Mike felt his face land on something soft, warm, and fragrant. It gave comfort and peace to his spirituality for some inexplicable reasons.
However, he could hear someone's heartbeat. So, he fell on someone!?
Mike immediately propelled his body so as not to squeeze the other person. He was on all fours, stunned to see the one underneath.
"Uhh, can you get away from me? Please don't keep staring at me." Yukiyo looked to the side and asked in a mosquito-like voice. She received a kabe-don, but on the floor.
Unfortunately, she didn't get any response even after waiting a few seconds. Her face turned red, not only from embarrassment but from anger as well. This boy had used her body as a cushion for impact, and now what more could he want!?
"I said, get away from me!" Yukiko raised her leg to aim at the boy's crotch. She didn't intend to attack but to throw the boy.
"!!!" Surprised by the girl's sudden cry, Mike immediately returned to his senses. He felt danger was eyeing his crotch. His lil bro was in a crisis!
"Whoops!" Mike held the girl's legs with his hands, then he immediately saved himself from the outburst of anger with a forward roll. "Hey, I'm sorry, kay? It was just an accident. You don't have to be so extreme, all right? You're endangering the safety of my lil bro and my manhood. Please calm down your anger, peace."
"Hmph! That's just an excuse. Why are you in that room alone without a sound, in the first place!" Yukiko covered her chest with embarrassment. She could still feel Mike burying his face there.
"Me? I was just meditating in serenity after training with Isei-san. But, well, the fault lies with me. I was in a bit of a rush and failed to notice your presence behind the sliding door. Please forgive me, Murano-san." Mike stood up and gave a slight bow of apology.
However, the one thing that made him feel guilty was that he fell on top of Yukiko's body and enjoyed the welfare. It was an indecent act because he had literally taken advantage of her body.
"Mistakes can only be forgiven by actions, not just words. If you feel guilty, you need to show it." Yukiko pursed her lips. She wanted to scold and beat this boy because she was upset for no reason, but she held herself back.
"Not just words?" Mike raised his head to look at Yukiko once more. He didn't know what he meant, but maybe, she just wanted him to do something for her?
He glanced at some of the scattered cardboard boxes, then at Yukiko once more. He didn't understand why Yukiko kept holding her chest. Could she have been injured because of him?
"Let me help you move these cardboard boxes. You want to put all this in that empty room, don't you?" Mike offered to help with a smile.
"I can do that myself." Yukiko replied.
"Then, did you have a chest injury? Are you in pain? Please don't worry or feel scared, I'll take responsibility for it. I-" Mike spread his arms slightly and offered another kind of help.
"Wha- what do you want to be responsible for!? You shameless, pervert, beast!" Yukiko kicked and threw the cardboard boxes at Mike in anger and embarrassment.
"Cho, wait, that's dangerous and outrageous! What's wrong with what I said? I'm just offering to help. We can go to the hospital if you're in pain. If it's just a scratch I can give you a band-aid. Please don't be an unreasonable girl!" Mike protected his head with both hands and dodged every cardboard box by relying on his feet' speed.
"You just want to take my body adavantage again, right!?" Yukiko took out a dagger from inside her skirt.
It gave Mike fear because this girl was dangerous and unreasonable. Thus, he just used his Nameless Escape Technique and fled from there. He just left his words behind. "Please calm down and will see you later!"
Yukiko was a little surprised to see that boy's escape speed. Now, only her remained inside the dojo. She just sighed and shook her head.
"Does he often use his adequate face to deceive girls? This is outrageous, I should pay more attention to monitoring that boy. He might be after Yuna-sama so he can live in peace and comfort. White face boy." Yukiko turned around and retrieved the cardboard boxes. She put them all into the empty room and left the dojo.
Meanwhile, Mike just ran and kept running until he returned to the mansion. He met Kisa there.
"Oh my, why are you running so fast, Mike-san? Are you being chased by something scary?" Kisa greeted while cleaning her palms with a handkerchief.
"Fwaah... Ye-yes, I was just about to be attacked and slashed with a dagger by an unreasonable girl." Mike took a deep breath and answered.
"Unreasonable girl? Yandere girl? What did you just do?" Kisa tilted her head slightly.
"Ah, never mind, it was just an accident and maybe a misunderstanding. It will sort itself out later. Oh, right, Kisa-san, can you help me with something?" Mike changed the topic because it was too risky to share with anyone else.
"Hm-mm~ Sure, tell me and I'll try to help you to the best of my ability." Kisa put her hand to her chin and smiled faintly.
"I need at least five low-tier spirit stones and one mid-tier spirit stone. Where can I get them as soon as possible?" Mike took the opportunity to ask. To be honest, he only knew that he could obtain spirit stones from the sect, but perhaps there was another way.
"Spirit stones? I can help you with this for free. But, what do you want to do with them?" Kisa didn't change her expression one bit.
"I need to breakthrough into the Nascent Spirit Realm before nightfall. I need those spirit stones to guarantee the success and purity of my foundation." Mike didn't hesitate to express his wish. He was delighted, but in his heart, to hear that Kisa could help him.
"Oh, all right. That's easy. Come with me, I'll give you what you want for free without conditions. You only need to do one favor for me." Kisa turned around and walked ahead.
"A favor, that's a condition, right? But, well, I owe you one, Kisa-san. Thank you very much!" Mike shook his head and went to follow Kisa to her room?
"Come in." Kisa went into her room and invited Mike.
On the other hand, Mike felt a little hesitant because it was his first time entering a girl's room.
When Kisa walked in first, Mike made up his mind and ventured to step into the lovely perfumed room.
"Here, this is what you need at your request. You can try ascending to the Nascent Spirit Realm here. I'll keep an eye on you in case anything unexpected happens." Kisa came closer to the stunned boy with a box in hand.
