Stop It! It’s Not Me That’s Strong… It’s the Sword…!

“Oh…they disappeared in the outside land and haven't been seen since,” replied Vita-chan with a gloomy expression.
“It's all

because I was useless,” she continued, clinging to my chest (does she think I'm her big brother?).

Hmm, I see…Karen and Nia must have got away.
They'll probably attack us again somewhere.
Ugh, I don't want that.

“Hey, Kurou-kun, I heard you’re awake!”

Just then, the door to the hospital room burst open and Iris-san appeared.
She has a very sparkling expression, but upon seeing Vita clinging to me, she exclaimed in a face like she has seen a snake and scorpion.

“Wh-why, Vita von Camblor! Why are you clinging to Kurou-kun?”

“Oh, Iris-senpai! Long time no see! Can't you read the atmosphere when two 'young people' are getting cozy?!” Vita retorted.

“What?! Get away from Kurou-kun, Vita! You're not even a proper woman to appeal to men.
I'll kill you!” Iris-san shouted angrily.

“Aah, scary, Kurou-san! Oh my, I really don’t like the robust knight who fermented without even having an appeal of a woman while critiquing young challengers out of jealousy.
That’s the beginning of being an old fogey, isn’t it?” Vita teased.

“Wh-what?! I'm not that old yet! Get out of here and I'll show you what a real woman's appeal is! Hyaa!” Without further ado, Iris-s jumped onto my bed! What are you doing, you!?

“Hehehe…how's that, Vita? I won't lose either,” Iris-san boasted.

“Ugh, even though you're a senior, Iris-senpai, you're so bold…!” Vita retorted.

“What do you mean, even though?! If you didn't have such a bad mouth, I would have pampered you…” Iris-san complained.

“Hmph, I don't want to be pampered by Iris-senpai!”

…

The two of them glared at each other while clinging to me from left and right.
It was supposed to be a happy space with a pleasant scent, but my heart couldn't rest at all.

Ah, from an outsider's perspective, it might seem like I'm in a super popular state, but Vita-chan only respects me because I saved her life, and Iris-san is just showing off her competitive side.

‘I've heard that when a girl is in love, she can get so nervous that she can't even touch the other person's hand.
So, if these two are being this touchy-feely, then it probably means that they don't see me as a man…’

Kurou-kun is very cautious, so he won't misunderstand anything.

“Kurou-kun! If you're feeling better, let's go for a walk in the city again! I'll give you some pocket money!”

“Please back off, senpai! Kurou-san is going to spend time with me, right? I'll give you some pocket money!”

‘Wait, am I being treated like a child here…?’

For some reason, the two of them started a mysterious battle of ‘I can give more pocket money!’ while trapping me in between them and shouting at each other from a very close distance.

So much saliva is flying around…
Without thinking, I turned my face away and saw the evil sword that was propped up in the corner of the hospital room…

――Vessel! Wake up! Soul!――

‘Oh, right, you're always doing your own thing, Muramasa-kun!’ The evil sword is still an evil sword as always.
Maybe it's really hungry, as it's shaking on its own.

“Did you just say that you want to spend time with me, Kurou-san?” “No, it's with me!”

――Soul――

And so, with two female knights and a vibrating sword causing a commotion, I was promptly kicked out of the clinic…!
