I leave the dojo sweating, feeling the coldness of the morning. There is a lot of fog so the air is very humid, I'd better go back as soon as possible, otherwise I'll catch a cold. In the middle of the garden, Haruko is training alone with her shinai.
"998... 999... 1000 !" Then she sits down on the open hallway. "Phew... Hmm?"
"Ah..."
"Oh..."
Our eyes meet.
"Hello Haru-nee." I walk towards her.
"Yes... Hi..."
An awkward silence settles in.
(She has to think about what happened last time. So she's still mad at me...)
"Is it always like this?" Haruko decides to break the silence.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you train like this every day?"
"Ah... Yes. If I want to become stronger, I have no choice, and besides the progress showed itself, during this fight, I managed to use my abilities without overreacting, which shows that I became stronger. But that's not enough, I must become even stronger to protect everyone."
"You must surely be thinking of Himegami-san when you say that, right?" Said Haruko sarcastically.
She gets up and leaves, leaving me alone after this remark.
"What? Wait Haru-nee, what's the message you're trying to send me here?" I call out to her, raising my voice, getting tired of her bad temper.
She stops abruptly, then resumes her walk.
(It sounds like we're both pretty upset about this.)
A few minutes later, as I was getting ready in my room, a high-pitched scream was heard from the bathroom. Thinking it was just the result of a joke made by the girls, I picked up where I left off.
When I enter the dining room, Kodama and Inaho are watching TV, Sakura is reading a book, Fuji-nee is reading a newspaper and Haruko is cooking.
"Hello everyone." I said as I sat down next to Sakura.
"Hello Senpai." Sakura greets me with a wide smile.
"Hi." Said Kodama lazily.
"Good morning Senji-sama, did you sleep well?" Asks Inaho.
"Hi Senji, I hope you're feeling good because I am!" Fuji-nee keeps it up.
As we gently start a discussion, Haruko serves us... a small miso soup, some carrots and a ridiculously small pot of rice.
"What's going on? What are these little portions? Is this rationing or what? Did you forget to go shopping Senji?" Kodama asks, looking at my plate.
Haruko takes the balance, puts it on the ground, then grabs Inaho and makes her climb on it. Inaho's face changes all of a sudden, seeing her weight.
"Hey!!! Ehhh!!!" She screams as if death is waiting for her.
(Ah, so that was the scream in the bathroom, Haruko had to be first.)
