The Gemini Princess wants me to confess my feelings!

Chapter 49 Forging

Kiyoha Mori is a seemingly awkward but actually straightforward girl, a fact that Kirihara Akira has come to understand more deeply.

In comparison, Shizue Mori is actually more difficult to approach.

This is not to say anything bad about her, but it is the truth.

Mori Shizue appears much more easygoing and approachable than her sister, but that's just an illusion created by a heavy mask.

The mother-daughter relationship between Shizue Mori and Akari Mori is much more harmonious; in fact, Akari is the good child on whom her mother has placed high hopes.

She was always learning from her mother, learning what nobles were supposed to learn.

Kirihara Akira could sense that when they first met, Mori Shizue's intention was definitely to control him, not to cooperate with him.

That's why she resisted accepting Mori Akari's protection.

Because if that were the case, the person controlling Kirihara Akatsuki would change from her to Mori Akari.

She wore a thick mask, and even when discussing writing, Kirihara Akira felt it was difficult to truly open up to her.

The elegant and precise language in Shizue Mori's works is itself a thick wall.

To be frank, Kirihara Akira cannot fully trust Mori Shizue yet.

Therefore, under such circumstances, if Kirihara Akira wants to fulfill her cooperation with Kisaragi Shiori, she has to change her approach. She can't just introduce Mori Shizue, who is relatively more capable of managing the cooperation, as is the usual practice. She has to take a slightly different approach.

Therefore, he decided to let Mori Kiyoha get in touch with Kisaragi Shiori first.

However, before that, Kirihara knew to keep his promise and teach Mori Kiyoha some self-defense skills.

Kirihara Akatsuki asked, "Before we begin the lesson, I want to ask you, what is your purpose in wanting to learn how to beat people from me?"

Without a second thought, Mori Kiyoha blurted out, "So that if something like that happens again, I can at least kill one of them."

At least one can be killed... Kirihara Akira's lips twitched. This guy is really fierce.

"Some things are hard to say, but they are the truth," Kirihara Akira said. "Women have a natural disadvantage in terms of physiological structure, at least in terms of physical strength. Strong women and strong men are not the same thing. Women need to put in more effort, but they can reach a lower level."

This means that women will struggle in a head-on fight against equally trained men who have studied martial arts, and it will be even more difficult for them to fight multiple men.

"And you must realize that your life is extremely precious, far more precious than that of those desperados. Even if you trade one life for another, or even zero life for one, you will suffer irreversible injuries, which is extremely unwise."

After a pause, Kirihara Akira said, "Therefore, I absolutely do not recommend that you fight back rashly when your person is restricted. I only suggest that you do so in a one-on-one situation, when the opponent is unprepared, and when you can be sure of killing them with one blow."

Unless you are facing a life-threatening situation, I only recommend that you prioritize protecting yourself.

"In conclusion, I will start by teaching you techniques that can subdue someone in one strike, and we can talk about more advanced methods later. Do you think that's acceptable?"

"Of course." Mori Kiyoha had no objections.

Once you've decided what to teach, the remaining question is where to teach it.

It's definitely not okay to do it at home; we have to keep it a secret from others, especially our wives.

It would be nice to be at school, and luckily, Kirihara Akira knew of a quiet place.

That was the abandoned teaching building that Mori Kiyoha had people surround back then.

This place is usually sparsely populated, not because the students are well-behaved, but because many people love to come to this quiet corner.

However, some inappropriate interactions between students of the opposite sex had occurred here in the past, which damaged the school's reputation. Therefore, students were prohibited from entering and leaving this place. Regular students were prohibited from entering and leaving, but bad students were obviously not affected.

Over time, this place became a gathering place for bad elements, and even when the school relaxed its ban, good students found it difficult to set foot there.

In this generation, this place is actually controlled by Mori Kiyoha.

She had been in school for a few years and had controlled many of the bad students there. Now, Mori Kiyoha was a senior in high school, and many of her bad behavior was completely under her control.

That's why Shizue Mori was able to give Akira Kirihara such a detailed and accurate list.

When the two entered, there were still several students huddled on the building materials, chatting and smoking.

The moment they saw Kirihara Akira, their faces turned fierce, and they surrounded her, only to be glared at by Mori Kiyoha.

A male student looked at Mori Kiyoha, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

They followed Mori Kiyoha's lead without question, but after that incident, Mori Kiyoha distanced himself from them, and some members of the group also left, which made them feel extremely uneasy.

They wanted a definitive answer.

Mori Kiyoha looked back and suddenly said, "Ueno Ayano has transferred schools. You should know what that means. I won't let her get away with this."

Ayano Ueno was someone who communicated with Kiyoha Mori before the incident and colluded with the yakuza to lure her into that world.

Everyone tensed up.

Then Mori Kiyoha said, "I will investigate everyone in this school who has any connection with Ueno Ayano or the yakuza."

Some people react slowly and become increasingly nervous, while smart people, like that boy, have already visibly relaxed.

He knew exactly what those words meant.

She will hold everyone involved accountable for this matter. Conversely, for those unrelated to the matter, she will deal with them according to the facts.

Then everyone left.

Kirihara Akira said with a smile, "Pretty impressive, huh?"

"Enough with the nonsense." Mori Kiyoha rolled her eyes and said, "Let's begin."

......

Practicing martial arts is a very arduous task. Although Mori Kiyoha is not learning the orthodox martial arts lineage, it is still not an easy task.

The basics are always tedious; learning posture and how to exert force to prevent injury to the body and joints is very tiring.

Fortunately, she had a good foundation and physical strength, and never complained.

After training for about an hour, her physical strength was almost at its limit.

Looking at her, who was drenched in sweat, Kirihara Akira suddenly felt that her life was really strange.

He's teaching Shiori Kisaragi to sing and write songs, teaching Shizue Mori to write books, and teaching Kiyoha Mori self-defense. What is he doing? How did things develop to this point?

It's really strange that someone becomes a teacher while attending school; how novel!

Kirihara Akira glanced at his watch, deciding it was about time. He stood up, brushed the dirt off his backside, walked over, and said, "Well done."

Before coming, he had already made an appointment with Kisaragi Shiori, and judging by the time, Kisaragi Shiori should be here soon.

Speak of the devil, and he appears; Shiori Kisaragi's figure appears in front of the school building.

She adopted a teacher's airs, looked at the two of them sternly, and reprimanded them: "You two, instead of going to your clubs or going home after school, what are you doing here? Don't you know that students are not allowed in this area?"
