At this very moment, the most excited one was still Aikou Rokushin. With these two fierce generals, Shin-chan and Saeko Busujima, what was there to worry about in the big competition not being won.
The most crucial thing was, he was a person from Musashino Dojo. With this backer Shin-chan, the Musashino Dojo would definitely take off in the future, and following along to sip some soup was also very fragrant.
If the current Kendo Club could take some places in the high school competition, his resume as club president would look much better.
As if already seeing his future smooth sailing life, Aikou Rokushin's squinting eyes were about to shed tears.
"Senior, I'll head back first. I have other things on the weekend, so I might not be able to come to the dojo. Please help me tell Master."
Having agreed to visit Eriri's house, Shin-chan didn't want to go to the dojo to practice on the weekend.
"Got it, got it, no problem."
Aikou Rokushin nodded repeatedly. With Shin-chan's strength, going to the dojo to practice didn't really mean much.
"Junior, do you want to go home together?"
Clearly she was the upperclassman, so why did Shin-chan call her "Junior" so naturally? And he didn't even feel awkward about what she had just said, his level was truly too high, wasn't it?
Kato Megumi, who had some goodwill toward Shin-chan, felt a lot of pressure.
"Okay."
However, Kato Megumi still agreed. She was also a very gentle girl, one who didn't know how to refuse others.
Saeko hesitated for a moment. She did not open her mouth to strike up a conversation with Shin-chan, but instead turned her head and picked up her wooden sword. She was going home to call and ask her father what exactly this so-called Self-Style Kendo was.
Since Shin-chan was also going to join the Kendo Club, the two of them would still have plenty of time in the future.
When Shin-chan and Kato Megumi walked out of the Kendo Club, there were already not many students in the school.
"Shin-chan, do you really like Kendo? Do you want to become a swordsman in the future?"
In Japan, the status and income of swordsmen were very high, and the threshold for entry was also very high. Because of the existence of ancient swordsmanship, it made being a swordsman a very dangerous profession.
"As for the future, let's talk about it in the future. I haven't thought that far."
"Has Shin-chan always been this freewheeling?"
Kato Megumi's tone carried a bit of envy.
"Hahaha, people should live more freely, right? Being tied down by rules and regulations won't make you happy."
"That's true, but how many people can actually live like you said, freely and unrestrained?"
Kato Megumi very much agreed with Shin-chan's view, but she didn't have the confidence to live like Shin-chan said.
She was just a very low-existence little transparent person. Her dream of future life was that a boy would notice her ordinary self, start a plain love story, and then spend a very ordinary life.
The two of them strolled through the campus. At this time, there were already not many students left in the school. The spring breeze gently brushed past, cherry blossoms fell, just like the first time the two of them met.
"By the way, did Aki-kun go and cause trouble for you?"
She and Aki Tomoya used to be classmates, but because Sawamura joined Shuchiin, the two were already in different classes.
However, Kato Megumi knew that Aki Tomoya was a very troublesome person, and Shin-chan was obviously someone who disliked trouble. If the two of them had a conflict, and Shin-chan beat up Aki Tomoya, maybe it would cause trouble for Shin-chan.
Shuchiin's school rules were very strict. Fighting was absolutely not allowed.
Hearing Kato Megumi's question, Shin-chan thought of what had just happened on the rooftop. He knew Aki Tomoya was eavesdropping at the door. Aki Tomoya probably heard Eriri call him "Master" and couldn't accept it, so he chose to run away.
Though avoidance was humiliating, it was indeed effective. At least for Aki Tomoya, when encountering things he couldn't accept, choosing to be an ostrich and avoid it was the most appropriate option.
Most likely, Aki Tomoya wouldn't come cause trouble for him. Probably just seeing him would make him want to run away.
"No, he doesn't dare to come looking for me."
"That's good then." Kato Megumi nodded and didn't dig deeper on this topic.
Leaving school, Kato Megumi's house wasn't too far from school, and it was in the same direction as Shin-chan's apartment.
After sending Kato Megumi home, Shin-chan returned to his own apartment. Although he hadn't known Kato Megumi for long, the two got along like old friends, very naturally.
Kato Megumi's personality was very gentle, so gentle it was a bit too much. She was a person who completely couldn't refuse others' requests.
Thinking carefully, Kato Megumi's character setting was indeed very attractive, gentle, considerate. Not very materialistic, easily satisfied, low difficulty to conquer, and once conquered, you wouldn't have to worry about things like cheating.
Much more reassuring than those girls with strong personalities.
However, what did this have to do with Shin-chan? At least for now, nothing. The first day of school was destined not to be peaceful.

Kaguya Shinomiya was angrily ranting to Ai Hayasaka.
"Damn it! It's just too infuriating! That woman from the Suotome family actually looks down on me like that!"
"Saying something like the vice president is only temporary, that soon she'll take the student council president's position, and I should obediently admit defeat, how could that be possible!"
Hayasaka Ai looked at Kaguya Shinomiya with a worried expression, not knowing what to say.
Currently, the head of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Gan'an, was getting weaker by the day. Although the Shinomiya family looked powerful, in reality, it was already a castle in the air, ready to collapse at any time.
Meanwhile, the Suotome family's business spanned the globe, and Suotome Ai was the only heir of the Suotome family.
It could be said that Kaguya Shinomiya's fate was the complete opposite of Ai Suotome's.
Kaguya Shinomiya was a bird in a cage, while Ai Suotome was a lark about to soar through the sky.
"Hayasaka, help me investigate that hateful woman and see if she has any weaknesses!"
"I understand…"
Sighing, Hayasaka Ai nodded. Just like Kaguya Shinomiya, she also couldn't freely enjoy her own life.
Wearing invisible chains, living a life like a prisoner. When could she ever be free?

At the Sawamura residence, Eriri was thinking about what she should wear for the weekend while replying to a message from Utaha.
Why was this Kasumigaoka so nosy? She kept asking nonstop about her relationship with Shin-chan. If it weren't for Kasumigaoka seeming like a total normie and giving the feeling that she could offer some useful advice, Eriri wouldn't even want to talk to her.
[Utaha: So that means, you have a love rival too?!]
On the other end of the phone, Utaha's legs were trembling from excitement.
This kind of plot, never mind the readers, she herself loved it too.
[Eriri: Yeah. But Kasumigaoka, have you really experienced love? Why do I feel like you're the same as me, someone who's never dated at all?]
Eriri questioned her again. She always felt like there was something off about Utaha, like her goal wasn't so pure, not just providing love advice.
[Eriri: Don't tell me… you actually like Shin-chan and want to steal him from me???]
In a puppy's eyes, their master is perfect. In Eriri's eyes, Shin-chan was the most perfect existence in the world.
Utaha was acting so strangely, maybe she had really fallen for Shin-chan....
[Utaha: ?]
