The Sword Deity in Tokyo-Chapter 238: Friends Who Resemble A Couple

After nearly an hour, Sakura Kyu High School and Akijou High School both advanced to the next round.

Now, the competition was between the Women's Team from Sakura Kyu High School and the Women's Team from Akijou High School.

Sakura Kyu High School was not well-known previously. This year however, their reputation soared, and they were considered as a dark horse in the competition. The Men's Team of Sakura Kyu High School had already won the competition for the Men's Team. What about the Women's Team?

The spectators wished to watch Sakura Kyu High School winning all the championships in the men's, women's, and individual competitions, the very thought of which brought much excitement. However, Katsuki Sugawara's ability caused the spectators to think that the chance of Sakura Kyu High School obtaining the title of champion for the Women's Team would be slim. This was because everyone had witnessed Katsuki Sugawara's ability. She was basically the female version of Kimura Kazuki.

Both the people from Camp Kensei and the spectators had the same perspective. That was why Mizuki Sugawara had straightaway opened a bet in the group chat. Everyone had predicted that Katsuki Sugawara would be victorious… Besides, Furuhashi Harunaka was nothing like Kimura Kazuki.

Kimura Kazuki instantly won every round. Hence, no one could grasp his capability. It was a different story for Furuhashi Harunaka. When she was up against Yayoi Momoi, it was a battle that she had to fight hard in, even when Yayoi Momoi did not set up her territory.

Even though Yayoi Momoi was given the nickname "Kendo Princess'" and was considered likely to win the championship for the Women's Team, it was all mere speculation.

In Camp Kensei, when Yayoi Momoi was competing against Katsuki Sugawara, it would be obvious who would win and who would lose. This was because they have competed with each other before. During the competition between Yayoi Momoi and Katsuki Sugawara, Katsuki Sugawara waited for Yayoi Momoi to form her territory and defeated her in order to balance her capability. Hence, nobody thought that Furuhashi Harunaka would win.

Meanwhile, during the 15 minutes break, Chiba Shiori was holding Kumoko's hand and walking to the rest area. Her myopia was not severe, but she could not see clearly the details of the Kendo competition when she sat further from the battle arena. She still could not make out the details if she sat closer, as she lacked knowledge in Kendo. But any ordinary spectator would not refuse an opportunity to have a closer look. In truth, almost every spectator would want to sit nearer to watch the competition.

When Chiba Shiori asked Kimura Kazuki and obtained his reply, she immediately took Kumoko and headed straight to the rest area. However, when they passed by the changing room in the corridor, they heard a muffled sound from the changing room. Chiba Shiori made a weird face when she heard the sound. Then came two voices that made her blush.

"Shiori-neesan, someone seems to be inside," Kumoko said softly. She wore an awkward facial expression. Even though she had a petite stature, she was seen as understanding and kind by others. This showed that Kumoko had a mature personality and her emotional quotient was also superb. Therefore, when they heard sounds from the changing room… they glanced at each other, thinking that leaving immediately would be the better option.

"Who's there?"

Yet, even though Kumoko's voice was soft, the person in the changing room had a sharp ear and a cold voice.

This voice was… Katsuki Sugawara!

Chiba Shiori and Kumoko glanced at each other again. Their facial expression became even weirder. They were familiar with Katsuki Sugawara's voice. This was because during the previous two nights, everyone was eating and singing together.

"Kat…Ahem! Is there, someone, outside?" said another female voice uneasily. However, her voice was soft, it was obvious that she didn't want anybody to recognize who she was. She was about to call out Katsuki, but she vaguely changed her way of asking after she thought of something.

The changing room went silent for a while. "I'm going out to have a look…" Katsuki declared.

Oh no! They were about to be discovered!

Chiba Shiori and Kumoko were slightly panicking. They wanted to run away.

"The two of you…" Right at this moment, a staff member had appeared from behind. She saw Chiba Shiori and Kumoko. She then asked with a curious expression, "Why were both of you outside the changing room? Are you both participants of the Kendo competition? Do you need to change your clothes? I can open the door for you." She looked around, and realized that the door of the changing room had been locked.

"No, that will not be necessary…" Chiba Shiori said softly. After that, she pulled Kumoko and ran away instantly.

The worker looked at both of them with a puzzled expression.

Right at this moment, the door of the changing room opened. Katsuki Sugawara wore her Keikogi and Hakama while holding her mask in her hand. She looked outside as she came out, but Chiba Shiori and Kumoko were long gone. Furthermore, the lighting in the corridor was dim, so she could not see who was there.

"Katsuki Sugawara!" The staff was quite shocked, excitement filling her face. It was obvious she was a big fan of Katsuki Sugawara. Once she saw Katsuki Sugawara in her Keikogi and Hakama, she knew that Katsuki Sugawara was fully prepared. "Good luck, Queen Sugawara!"

Upon hearing it, Katsuki Sugawara gave her a gentle smile. "I will. Thank you for your support."

The worker did not expect that Katsuki Sugawara would be so gentle, far from how the Internet had described her as unusually frigid to everybody.

"Can… Can I get your autograph?"

"Sure."

Once the worker left the changing room excitedly with Katsuki's autograph, someone walked out of the changing room. It was none other than Yayoi Momoi. When she walked out, there was a slight hint of displeasure on her blushing face, "I told you not to choose the changing room… Someone would pass by, but you just had to pick here."

"But you did not reject it, did you?"

"What are you saying?" Yayoi Momoi glanced at Katsuki fiercely, causing Katsuki Sugawara to surrender. "My bad, my bad!"

"Did you asked the staff whether it was a guy or girl who appeared just now?" Kumoko's voice was too soft that Yayoi Momoi could not even differentiate her gender from her voice.

Katsuki Sugawara scratched her head. "I forgot to ask." 

Yayoi Momoi helped Katsuki fold her clothes. After listening, she asked anxiously, "If it's a guy… What should we do if he uses what he heard from our conversation to threaten us?"

"Kill him!" Katsuki Sugawara said coldly.

Yayoi Momoi nodded her head,. "When it does happen, remember to tell me. We will deal with it together."

At this moment, Katsuki Sugawara asked with a depressed tone, "Didn't you say you were going to transfer to my school? When's that gonna be? This LDR is killing me!"

"I will do it as fast as I can."

While Katsuki Sugawara and Yayoi Momoi were conversing, Chiba Shiori and Kumoko had finally arrived at the rest area of Sakura Kyu High School. They let out a sigh of relief once they arrived at their destination.

Kimura Kazuki looked at both of them strangely, "What's wrong?"

Chiba Shiori shook her head, Kumoko however excitedly said, "Onii-chan, I heard that… erm…" Before she could finish her sentence, Chiba Shiori knocked on her head.

Kimura Kazuki looked at Chiba Shiori suspiciously. However, he saw her shaking her head. "Nothing."

Kumoko did not say what happened. Naturally she knew that what she heard in the changing room had to be kept a secret, but onii-chan was her family, not a stranger. Telling him this secret would not bring any harm. However, since Shiori-neesan forbade her from revealing the secret, she had no choice but to shut her mouth.

Forget it, I might as well keep this secret.

However, she had never thought that Katsuki Sugawara was into Yuri, and she did not know who the other person in the changing room was either.

Kumoko was very curious.
