"Touka, what does it feel like to like soone?"
The sudden question from Kanata caught Touka off guard.
"Kanata, you're asking sothing like this too?"
Touka looked at the stunningly beautiful Kanata with surprise.
"I rember. Don't you have a family engagent?"
Kanata is the heiress of the Totokubara conglorate.
As the second-largest economic entity in Japan, the Totokubara conglorate is almost as wealthy as a nation, holding a dominant position within the island of Japan. As the family heiress, it's no exaggeration to say that Kanata was indeed born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
But as the eldest daughter of a major conglorate, while Kanata enjoys countless conveniences provided by her family, she also has to bear corresponding responsibilities.
—That is, the engagent.
When Kanata was very young, her family had already decided on her marriage partner, who is said to be the heir of a major European conglorate, not unworthy of her status.
The reason it's said "is said" is because Kanata has never t her fiancé even once since she was a child.
"It's precisely because of the engagent that I want to know the answer."
Kanata responded instead, her expression very serious.
If there were no engagent, she wouldn't have asked this question and could have tried it out herself. But being engaged, she absolutely cannot have a private romance.
She thought helplessly, her gaze showing a hint of envy towards her best friend.
Unlike her, Touka is not from a major family, has no engagent, and can freely fall in love. If asked who she envies the most, it would undoubtedly be Touka.
It's precisely because she doesn't have the freedom to love that she particularly wants to know what love feels like.
"I see."
Touka suddenly understood and then began to ponder.
She and Kanata are best friends, knowing even what color underwear the other likes, so of course, there's nothing she can't say.
"It's probably anticipation, right?"
Touka thought carefully about her feelings towards her junior brother, and a smile involuntarily spread across her face.
"Anticipation?"
"Yes, always thinking about eting when apart, and after eting, looking forward to going further, holding hands, hugging, receiving praise... these are my direct feelings towards my junior brother."
"Wouldn't it be very nervous or scary? That's what I see in comics."
"My junior brother and I are very familiar, there's no such nervousness, it probably varies from person to person."
Touka rembered the scenes from the year before last when she first got her hands on her junior brother and last year when her junior brother groped her chest, her cheeks imdiately showing a hint of pink, her eyes sparkling with emotion.
"However, sotis I do get extrely nervous..."
Because it was too embarrassing, she said this in a very low voice, not heard by Kanata.
"...Anticipation?"
Kanokari Kanata nodded, sowhat understanding.
She has never been in love, no matter how Touka explains, it's like seeing flowers through fog for her.
"By the way, Kanata's first match the day after tomorrow is against your junior brother, right?"
Touka shook her gradually yellowing head, pretending to casually ask Kanata.
"Yes, that's right."
Kanata, hearing this, snapped out of her reverie, tossing the tangled thoughts in her mind aside, and chuckled lightly, "Touka, you're not thinking of asking to go easy, are you?"
"Of course not."
Touka couldn't help but laugh.
"Even if I wanted to say that, my junior brother would definitely not want to."
Is that so?
Kanata was sowhat surprised, her impression of Eiji was quite average.
Admittedly, he is the most handso guy she has ever seen, and she admires Eiji's willpower, but she is reluctant to comnt on his character.
Pushing all the housework onto Touka, enjoying the fruits of others' labor, skipping classes without knowing what he's doing... these behaviors have left Kanata's impression of Touka's junior brother at a lazy level.
"Kanata, you must think the outco of this match is a foregone conclusion, right?"
"Pretty much, is there a problem?"
"No, like you, I also think my junior brother's chances of winning are very low."
Touka shook her head.
"After all, the compatibility between your abilities is extrely poor."
That's right.
Even though Touka really wants to side with her junior brother, she has to admit that her junior brother's chances against Kanata are really low.
The first principle that governs the battles of the Blazers is the absolute difference in compatibility.
As long as the compatibility difference reaches a certain level, causing both sides to enter a relationship of restraint and being restrained, then no matter how big the difference in total magic power, it's impossible to turn the tables.
Just like the battle between Bishou and Stella that weekend, even though Stella has the world's strongest magic power, she was knocked down by Bishou with just one move.
This is an unavoidable fact, an unshakable truth among Blazers.
And the compatibility between the junior brother's Blazer ability and Kanata's ability is extrely poor.
For the junior brother, the preliminary match the day after tomorrow will undoubtedly be an extrely tough battle.
"However, Kanata, I suggest you better not underestimate my junior brother."
But unlike Kanata, who thinks the outco is already decided, Touka obviously hasn't lost hope in her junior brother.
"—My junior brother is definitely not soone who gives up easily, nor is he soone who can be easily defeated. If you underestimate him, you will definitely suffer."
Kanata remained silent.
In her eyes, the outco is decided, fate is set, no matter how you think about it, Eiji couldn't possibly be her opponent.
But her mind recalled the words Eiji said to her when he ca to the committee office that evening—before making an effort, he would never easily bow to fate.
—Then let's see who is right.
She thought to herself.

"Phew..."
On Tuesday morning, Eiji changed into his sportswear, left the dormitory, and jogged towards the school gate.
At this ti, many students haven't gotten up yet, and only a few people like Ikki are at the school gate—originally that was the case.
Click, click!
At the main gate of the campus, the sound of shutters clicking was incessant, girls gathered together chattering, excitedly discussing sothing.
"Even in sportswear, he's so handso!"
"Nangou-kun, do your best!"
The fact that Eiji exercises in the morning sohow got out, and within a couple of days, it turned into this.
Among them, there seed to be a reporter girl, mingling in the crowd, constantly selling the photos in her hands to the girls, and in no ti, she had sold several sets.
The money from selling photos is split 70-30, she gets a profit, and it's also the idol's request, which makes Kagami very enthusiastic. Without Eiji urging her, she's already working hard.
Today, it seems there's no one coming to confess.
Eiji looked around the crowd, didn't see any destined beauties, so he didn't pay further attention to the crowd, his gaze turning to Ikki not far away.
"Hey, Ikki, didn't the princess co today?"
Eiji looked around him, didn't see Stella, and asked sowhat surprised.
