Turn Against Each Other

Kanae hadn't figured out what happened, but she didn't want to continue to argue with her. Just when she was about to turn around and ask, Kazuya, who had already heard Yoko's explainaton, came over and said softly: "Shimazaki Senpai, this matter has nothing to do with you, let me handle it."

After saying that, he looked at the people on Suzu Hojo's side who were almost as the same age. Although they all looked like delinquents and were full of scorn, they were probably high school students. He smiled, "Hojo Senpai is also here to participate in Yulong Flag, right? Your friend bullied my sister but refused to apologize. If you are interested in having a fight before the competition, I can accompany you alone..."

As long as he did't be ruthless in this kind of fight, the police would just mediate a few words when they come. It was not a big deal, even if it was a big deal, he should stand on Yoko's side after she was slapped.

Haruka silently took two steps forward, stood next to Kazuya and looked at the opposite side with a serious face, indicating that she and Kazuya would advance and retreat together, while Haruna eagerly pointed to the opposite side and said cheerfully: "Leave these four to me!"

Akiho still had a gloomy face and said nothing, but Chika and Ayaka disappeared and hid themselves in the crowd of onlookers a moment later, staring at Suzu Hojo's butt and winking at each other. Catch their king first when catching the thief!

As soon as Kazuya moved, Yuma and Shin also followed, and as soon as they moved, the people in Hope's Peak Academy couldn't help but disperse a little, like half-surrounding the six or seven people from the other party. They were in the same group in a school so this was an habitual reaction.

Kanae was the organizer of this event. SHe didn't want to make things worse, so she stopped everyone and said to Suzu: "Hojo, if anything, wait until going back to Nagoya. I will do with you till the end!"

Suzu knew she couldn't scare her opponents. They didn't look like good persons and seemed not to care about fighting at all. She was obviously not a good one ,but the key was that there were not all of her members here, so they would definitely suffer a loss if they fought now. 

She shouted with a smile: "Okay, Miss Shimazaki. Wish you a smooth competition in advance! Let's go."

Then a group of them helped the girl who was beaten and pushed the crowd watching the excitement. The hotel staff came over and found that nothing happened, just a small friction. They reminded them not to make trouble and left. The onlookers also left, but there was still some discussion:

"That little girl seems to be Aichi's short-legged tiger..."

"Really? She's younger than she looks in the video! Is she really in high school?"

The video of the Haruka's competition had been uploaded to the Internet. It had become a bit popular recently and was somewhat famous in this small circle.

Kanae stared at Suzu's back with a worried look on her face, while Yukio glanced at Kazuya's group and reprimanded: "Can't you endure it when something happens? Don't cause trouble for everyone when out!"

Haruka was turning her head to look for someone who dared to speak ill of her behind her back. When she heard this, her temper got louder. She didn't care if the other person was her senior or not, and was about to get angry when she raised her head, but Kazuya quickly stopped her. He just smiled and said, "Sorry, Yukio Senpai."

What the other party said was right. Kazuya came to help his friend and didn't want to cause the internal strife. He tried his best to tolerate it and planned to deal with it after the game.

Yukio didn't know why he disliked Kazuya, but he wanted to scold him a few more times, while Kanae spoke up: "Enough, let's all go eat and take a good rest after eating. Be careful these days, don't conflict with others, pay attention to your safety and try not to go out alone."

After saying that, she let everyone disperse to get food, leaving Kazuya and Yoko together with the Sakura family.

Yoko was a little scared and kept her head down. Kazuya rubbed her little head: "It's not your fault." 

Alas, this child had been ignored by her mother since she was a child, and she was always afraid of being disliked, which was considered a mental illness and needed long-term enlightenment.

Yoko explained in a low voice: "I didn't mean to step on her, Onisan."

Haruka interrupted: "It's true that you stepped on her, but she shouldn't hit you after you apologized just because you are easy to bully. You should jump up immediately and punch her in the jaw."

Yoko raised her head in surprise , "Are you mean to hit someone?" She had never fought before in her whole life and was stunded for her words.

"Of course we have to fight back. Our parents didn't give birth to us just to be bullied and used as a punching bag!"

Kazuya coughed and signaled her not to mention Yoko's parents. Haruka also knew something about the inside story. Knowing that she had made a mistake, she tilted her head and muttered: "It's the truth. If Haruna stepped on her, you can see if that guy dares to hit her on the head. This kind of person only bullies the weak, so you should be tougher and crueler than her..."

Come on, teach your family a little better!

Kazuya ignored her and said to Yoko: "Don't listen to your Haruka Sister, but you really don't need to swallow your anger when things like this happen. I will also feel unhappy when you are bullied and endure it. If you feel something is wrong, run away quickly and tell me. Your brother I will deal with them."

Then he thanked to Haruna: "Thank you for protecting Yoko!"

He felt that Haruna did a good job. If the other party was a woman, though he could deal with it, it would be difficult for him to deal with it if the other party acted rogue. If it were Haruna, there wouldn't be so troublesome. It was simple and direct, and her push was quite good.

Haruna rubbed the back of her head cheerfully, "She was unreasonable, so I hit her!"

At this time, Yuma and Shin came back with plates. They first asked Yoko's situation, then Yuma patted his chest and said, "Yoko, if you encounter something like this in the future, report it to me. Uchida Brother will protect you!"

Yoko timidly thanked him, and Kazuya asked Shin: "Shin, do you know that Hojo?"

Shin nodded: "I know, she was one of my sister's good friends in junior high school, but something happened between them and they had some conflicts. Then she hated my sister and they broke up with each other after graduation. It seems that Hojo Senpai has a character problem."

Shin's words were rather vague, probably related to his sister's privacy. Kazuya didn't ask in depth. He felt that Suzu Hojo was not dressed like a delinquent girl. He shouldn't judge people by other's clothes, but he had to be on guard. He told Haruka: "Be careful during the period we stay here."

Haruka had no other strong point, but she had rich experience in revenge and counter-retaliation. She understood what he meant instantly and nodded her little head: "Don't worry, I will be careful."

No one in the Sakura family paid attention to these small conflicts in daily life. After dinner, Kazuya told Kanae that he was going to take his family around for a walk, and Kanae only set a time for him to come back and told him not to run too far. Kazuya came to help her brother, so it was inconvenient for her to be as strict as restraining ordinary club members for Shin's face, but she asked Haruka to have a good rest and not be distracted.

The Hakata area is considered the most prosperous area in Fukuoka and even Kyushu, with many shops and historical sites. Kazuya led a group of children to play for a while and bought some toys and snacks that they liked, then he returned on time.

Yoko was already familiar with the Sakura family now, so she followed them back to the room, then got the toiletries and prepared to take a bath before sleeping. This hotel had a large bathhouse, which was specially built for travelers to relieve their fatigue.
