The Youngest Son of a Japanese Conglomerate. 530

Chapter 530 – Episode 57. Sports Day Mayhem

‘It’s stuffy…’

Alrik was fiddling with his fencing helmet. The environment was different from when he usually swung his sword. His fencing helmet was like that, and in his hand was a thin and light foil, not the katana that Alric favored. Alric turned the wrist holding his foil around. He felt a little stiff because of the gloves he didn’t normally wear.

‘But… I can do it.’

He said he was going to play this match because he was confident. Even if the shape of the sword or equipment changed, the essence of sword fighting remained the same.

-Let my sword touch and not let the opponent’s sword touch.

This is the essentials of the sword learned from teacher Airen Shimokawabe. I learned that if you don’t forget this essential part, you can win any battle.

Alric held up the foil awkwardly. And he looked at his opponent. Skillful posture. Although the game hadn’t even started yet, he looked like he was going to stab Alrik at any moment. He seemed to have made a great deal of determination because this game would determine whether he would win or lose.

“Salut, En Garde! Etês vous Prêts, Allez!”

I didn’t know what it meant, but I knew that the referee’s words signaled the start of the game. Since Alrik had a gift for languages, he wondered what each word meant, but he knew now was not the time to think about it.

Shuuk~!

The tip of his thin knife stabs at the abdomen. It’s instantaneous! Alrik thought, but when he used neural acceleration by controlling the electrical current in his body, the world slowed down. Accordingly, the Fleur that was being fired at Alik was also approaching slowly.

Alric blocked the tip of his opponent’s sword with his foil guard and then flew his sword as if it were bouncing. He reached. If it was too strong, a disaster would occur where it would pierce the fencing suit and pierce the opponent’s body, so it was a blow with considerable force control.

-Beep, this, this… !

In a world that has slowed down, a long beep is heard acknowledging Alrik’s score. Alric swung his sword once again before the sound had even finished.

It was a cutting movement, but the tip of his sword stabbed forward as if a spring had been triggered. Once again he scored, and the opponent gritted his teeth and stabbed his sword as if he would not lose, but Alrik only saw him as slow. It bounces and stabs. Bounce and swing. Stab before the opponent even lifts the sword.

It was new at first, but it quickly became boring. This is because the difference in skill between them and their opponent was too large. But it was already over. By the time Alrik got bored, the score was already at 14.

-If you win too overwhelmingly, people might look at it strangely, so give it at least 1 point!

Yuka Otagi’s words come to mind. Alrik puffs out his cheeks inside his fencing helmet. He doesn’t want to give 1 point. He gives 1 point because he can’t get back to Ryuta Taira any time soon.

‘Because Alrik is strange to begin with… It’ll be okay.’

Alric decided to ignore Yuka Otagi’s words. The moment he decided to ignore Yuka Otagi’s words, Alric’s nervous system accelerated like a fire, and the foil was touching the other person’s chest.

-Beep!

The world has become faster again. Now that the game is over, Alic will be able to return to Alic’s ‘Ryuta’.

“Hoo… ! That kid.”

“It’s a great skill.”

Taira Danzo and Minamoto Ushin showed their curiosity after watching Alrik’s game. A swordsman whose movements are like a beam of light and whose speed is so fast that the signal sound announcing a score cannot be followed. He was a rare talent in today’s era where firearms abound. Although it is primarily a firearm, it can also be useful for swordsmen depending on how they use it.

“Ega and Alexandra… “She is the adopted daughter who was recently welcomed into the Egawa family.”

“Joy! I guess my desire to collect has grown again!”

Minamoto Ushin chuckles at Taira Danzo’s words. Unlike the Minamoto, a traditionally renowned family, the current Taira could be said to be an emerging family. So, compared to Minamoto, which was able to use the sons of famous families as human resources and recruited talent quite meticulously, Taira had no hesitation in accepting outside talent.

Now that Minamoto and Taira have become equal, the talent pool has become similar as Taira has the opportunity to accept talented people from well-known families, but in the early years before and after World War II when the Taira group was born, many celebrities from outside the world were recruited.

Taira’s ethos still remains today, and Taira Danzo enjoyed recruiting talented people to the point where he was said to have a passion for collecting.

Taira Danzo’s instinct speaks for itself. That light blonde kid is an outstanding talent. I must embrace Tyra in her arms.

“Do you have any business with my daughter?”

Shiho Egawa, an elegant woman wearing a kimono, Alrik’s adoptive mother, said as she approached where Danzo Taira and Ushin Minamoto were.

“Oh, it’s Mr. Egawa. Your adopted daughter…”

“I want to talk about that too.”

As Taira Danzo spoke to Egawa Shiho with pleasure, Minamoto Ushin, who had been pretending not to be interested until now, also joined in.

“Didn’t you just say that I had a passion for collecting?”

“I have a desire to prevent Taira Danzo from satisfying his desire to collect.”

“What a crazy old man.”

“I think so too. So are we homophobic?”

An ordinary person would be embarrassed to see two giants of the Japanese business world arguing childishly right in front of their eyes, but Egawa Shiho was an educator who trained many brides from famous Japanese families. She was never easily embarrassed. She just smiled faintly as she looked at the two old men.

“I appreciate you treating my daughter so kindly, but she already has someone?”

“Is it? It’s a shame.”

Egawa Shiho’s words made Taira Danzo lose his appetite.

“Why are you feeling regretful? If your child or grandchild is talented, it will ultimately be in Tyra’s arms.”

“Oh, I see. Is it Kanna? . Lisa should have been the student council president too. It’s a shame.”

Minamoto Ushin said with regret at Egawa Shiho’s words. It was known through the intelligence team that with Tyra Kanna taking over as student president, she was wiping out talent at St. Francis Girls’ Academy. Since they are still in high school, they may not be talents that can be used right away, but Ushin Minamoto was a little afraid of Taira Kanna’s future.

Minamoto Ushin misunderstood, but Taira Danzo understood what Egawa Shiho meant. A child or a ‘grandchild’… I’m sure that kid is Taira Ryuta’s talent.

Shiho Egawa probably knows that Ryuta Taira is doing something at this academy. So, I deliberately told Ushin Minamoto to mislead people into thinking that Alric was under Taira Kanna. If Shiho Egawa had not said anything, he would have definitely come across the truth that Ryuta Yamashiro is Ryuta Taira while investigating Alric.

‘I owe you.’

Taira Danzo smiled faintly. He will have a chance to repay this debt someday.

“I, I, I… “What is that?”

While Taira Danzo smiled, Minamoto Ushin, who saw the playground, screamed. As Minamoto Ushin made a fuss, Taira Danzo became curious and took a quick look at the playground. There, teachers and students could be seen standing for the next event, 2-person 3-leg.

Among them, his grandson Taira Ryuta was standing with his arm around the shoulders of Minamoto Ushin’s daughter Minamoto Lisa. Taira Danzo laughed happily when he saw that.

– Players in 2-person triangles, please come out.

After the fencing match, which Alik won thanks to his excellent skills, I was stroking his head as he was jumping up and down, telling me that he had won, when I soon heard a broadcast. Is the 2-person 3-a-side game a match between teachers and students? In the same way, it was a game in which one teacher and one student from each class competed in running as a group. I, Lisa Minamoto, and I stood at the starting line with our names on it. As we stood at the starting line, a staff member came and gave us straps to tie each other’s feet. It was a thick strap made of a fairly soft material, probably to prevent it from rubbing on the students’ ankles.

Since the homeroom teachers in each class were a mix of men and women, the classes with male teachers were supposed to start about 5 meters behind to take physical conditions into consideration. When viewed from the sky, it will appear as if it is zigzagging in a W shape.

I sat down on one knee of her and tied Risa Minamoto’s ankles with mine. Now that I think about it, Risa Minamoto had thin ankles. However, her calves were not so thick that her thin ankles were noticeable. She was rather a moderately thin slender type.

“Did I tie it too tightly?”

“No, it’s appropriate.”

He said it was okay and I got up. Grab Lisa Minamoto’s shoulder as you have practiced so far. It might be more comfortable to hold the waist, but you can’t wrap it around the waist when parents are watching.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a slight commotion in the area where parents were gathered near the headquarters. I took a quick look and saw that there was a bald old man making a fuss, and it turned out to be Ushin Minamoto. Next to him, Grandpa Taira Danzo was giggling at the sight.

“This…”

Risa Minamoto blushed as if she was embarrassed by her father’s commotion.

“Wait for a sec…”

Risa Minamoto untied her straps from her feet and she walked to the parents’ seat. She couldn’t bear to watch her father’s disgrace any longer. If the father is a giant that no one can stop in Japan, then at least his daughter will have to step in to stop him.

She seemed to know this even in the main office and did not stop Risa Minamoto from leaving her stadium and going to her parents’ section.

I could hear them talking about something, but it was hard to hear because the surroundings were noisy, and the distance was far away. After talking for a while, Risa Minamoto sighed and came towards me.

“What are you in a bad mood for?”

“I don’t like it when you’re holding my shoulder.”

I didn’t even think about it. Was that what you were angry about? What a fool you are, Minamoto Ushindo.

“That’s because I’m afraid you’ll fall…”

“I said so. “I told her that I fell a few times while practicing without holding her shoulder, and only then did she sit down.”

Fortunately, Minamoto Risa’s excuse seemed to be accepted. If Minamoto Ushin had made more of a fuss here, it would have been difficult to proceed with the 2-person 3-way match.

“However…”

“Huh?”

It seemed like Minamoto Lisa’s words weren’t over yet. She’s a little hesitant. Is there something wrong?

“If you don’t come in first place in this 2-person trifecta, I’ll fire you.”

Oh, Minamoto Ushin was just as bad an old man as Taira Danzo. If it’s first place… Huh? What?!

In fact, until 3 seconds ago, I was confident of first place. However, I made eye contact with one person, and it was Airen Shimokawabe. Why is the teacher, who is not the homeroom teacher, standing in the two-three position? Besides, she is a female teacher and starts 5 meters ahead of me. If you do this, your odds of winning will go down.

“Do you really think you’ll be fired if you don’t get first place?”

“If it was just something you said, it would be overlooked, but since you just said that in front of a lot of parents, that is, people from famous families, I think your father will cut you if you don’t get first place for face reasons.”

Wow, that wasn’t just something I said. Are you saying that if you don’t get results, you can’t keep the guy who dared to touch your daughter’s shoulder as a teacher?

“… I’m sorry.”

“Are you okay. Instead, if we win first place, the two of us will go to the same net café we went to before one more time. “I have a book I haven’t finished reading yet.”

When I asked her out on a date in return for feeling sorry, Risa Minamoto burst out laughing. Then, the atmosphere that had been a bit heavy until now became lighter.

“Ahaha… ! “Don’t you have any sense of crisis when you hear that you could be fired?”

“We practiced a lot. And if the situation arises, I will show you the magic, so don’t worry.”

Lisa Minamoto looked puzzled at my words about magic, but she was unable to resolve her doubts as she soon heard the announcement of preparation through the broadcast.
