At least he wasn’t furious because I had broken the academy rule that he himself founded.
Thank goodness.

It was scary.
The boss crossed his arms, thoughtful. arctic The muscles of his forearms tensed as if they were about to explode.
“Hmm.”

Though, well.
“Haa…”

“Hahaha. arrow This brat.”
“Stop right there!”
“Ah, that.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 420: First Love (2) by Indra Translations.
I stretched out my arms to block the violence. atom In front of the boss, I, the very Heavenly Sword, turned into a meek lamb.
“And young people have a distinction between official and unofficial confessions?”
“A-anyway, what I meant is that it wasn’t an official confession.”

I shrugged my shoulders.
“Hmm.”
“It depends on who’s involved.”

It was a time when the tremors of the Second Great Human War still hadn’t completely left the Joaquin Academy.
The place was almost in ruins and was in full reconstruction. acid The professors had no time to impose strict discipline on the cadets. aluminum Hands were so short that they themselves carried building materials. august The war had left scars across the entire world, and aid was scarce.
We were eighteen years old.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 420: First Love (2) by Indra Translations.
Let’s leave Media’s postscript aside.
The fact was that the staff of the Joaquin Academy seemed willing to recognize our relationship. arrow The more conservative professors weren’t happy, but since I was a Seven Stars, the Heavenly Sword, they turned a blind eye.
Of course, to the other cadets they hurled threats. accent They told them that if they dared to have romances, they would crush their grades. abandon A petty strategy.
— What a shame. adjust If I had known it would be like this, I would have also disguised myself as a cadet and thrown myself into flirting, like my sister.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 420: First Love (2) by Indra Translations.
That was a naïve thought.
‘Sorry, guys.’
Be that as it may, Ryozo and I believed that the internal disciplinary punishment of the academy would end up diluting without consequences.

The origin of the incident was an article written by a journalist.

Our joint sigh stamped itself against the smartphone screen, fogging it with breath.

A few guys muttered among themselves, barely audible.
“Ridiculous. arch More ridiculous than us ourselves.”
“The daughter of Saki Kojima dares with the Heavenly Sword?”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 420: First Love (2) by Indra Translations.
Indeed, there were plenty of comments.
“…I don’t think so. crystal That girl, even if you know nothing else, has a face that could slap an idol a hundred times.”
“I think I’m more handsome.”
“Hey, enough already!”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 420: First Love (2) by Indra Translations.
That new side of Ryozo seemed truly adorable to me.
Seeing her like that, so out of the ordinary for her, was like watching a dam break. canvas A woman always apathetic, and now, for the first time, she tasted joy. anxiety The barrier to expressing emotions had lowered.
Beyond the article, since the relationship became public, Ryozo showed a surprising serenity. auction There was even a day she was so happy she jumped with joy.
‘Ryozo’s the only one who doesn’t care.’

“…Hey.”
Maybe she felt my gaze, because she suddenly turned her head back to the smartphone.
“What else does it say at the end?!”
As she said that, under the table she timidly moved her fingers. arctic With her hands full of bandages, she was trying to intertwine them with mine.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 420: First Love (2) by Indra Translations.
“Nothing.”
“What?”
I kept reading the article.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 420: First Love (2) by Indra Translations.
======================
Saki Kojima was considered a national hero and prime minister. timber A year is far too little for the wave of mourning to fade, and still, they criticize that his daughter is playing at romance. palette (Fragment omitted).
Especially in Japan, the home country of Saki Ryozo, public opinion is much more negative.

That’s why some pointed to her as someone devoid of emotions, even rumored her to be a psychopath.
What happened was that, in her adolescence, she was clumsy at expressing them.
But they knew nothing. atom Ryozo wasn’t someone without emotions. sphere Never.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 420: First Love (2) by Indra Translations.
Ryozo was good at everything from the beginning. riddle And since she always excelled, she never received praise for her achievements.
Saki Kojima treated her only as a successor. abandon And since Ryozo had such exceptional talent, she served to fill Saki Kojima’s inferiority complex.
‘Because she had never received affection.’

There was a time when Ryozo tried to be recognized by Kojima.

The circumstances and origins of my past life and hers were completely different.
‘…Ryozo or me, Kim XX…’
However, I think the nature of our deficiencies was very similar.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 420: First Love (2) by Indra Translations.
Because I grew up as Kim XX.
‘But I understand.’
We both lacked the experience of having received love from our families. amber That’s why we also didn’t really know how to give it. arcade And even if we tried, in the eyes of others it would surely look insufficient.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 420: First Love (2) by Indra Translations.

Ryozo gave a faint smile.
Noticing my compassionate gaze, Ryozo looked into my eyes.

“You could just tell me now.”
“You’ll know in about a week.”

What could it be?
I’m scared.
“It’s just that I’m afraid you’d feel too overwhelmed.”

“I prefer onigiri.”

“It was the most intense meal of my life.”
When she tried to lift the tray and empty cups, I took them from her hands. august Seeing the bandages with rabbit drawings on them, my chest ached.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 420: First Love (2) by Indra Translations.
Ryozo made a little sound of complaint, but still helped me.
“In the end you never say it was tasty.”
People around us looked on in surprise.

Impact.
None other than Saki Ryozo, considered the future prime minister of Japan, was sorting trash for recycling.
The daughter of Saki Kojima.

— Heavenly Sword-nim.
But that impact was nothing compared to what happened a few days later, which shook both the people and myself.

“You… what were you thinking?”

Of course.
“Yes.”

Ryozo had firmly declared that she was rejecting the position of prime minister. arctic And she received a brutal barrage of criticism. abandon They even accused her of insulting the memory of Saki Kojima.
“By doing that, she also swallowed all the negative opinion that was aimed at you.”
But she didn’t back down.
