"The winner is Imai Cosmo!!!" "OOOOOHHHH!!!"
Imai stood up and raised his hand very high even though his body was full of wounds and bruises. He looked at Adam who had fainted on the ground and sighed in relief with the result of the fight.

"Well, he won against that huge guy," Izusu was quite surprised.
"You can watch it, Shouko?" Yuuki asked.
Shouko was a bit hard to watch since it was full of violence, but she nodded with a serious expression. "I - I need to get used to it."
Yuuki shook his head and said, "You don"t need to force yourself. It"s normal for someone to hate such violence."
"Then, why can"t you stop?" Shouko asked. She closed her eyes in almost the entire fight between Imai and Adam since she couldn"t handle seeing such violence.
"I"m sorry, but I can"t," Yuuki said while shaking his head.
"Why?" Shouko asked.
"Because I"m a man," Yuuki said. "You might not understand what I mean, but that"s alright." He raised her chin and said, "You"re my woman, so just watch me, support me, and if you can"t bear to see it just close your eyes. Then, when everything is over, you can pamper me and take care of my wounds."
"....."
It had been a while since he had shown such a domineering side. Even if Shouko didn"t want him to be hurt, she couldn"t stop him. "Then, promise me that you"re not going to be hurt."
"I know." Yuuki kissed her forehead and said, "I love you."
Shouko snuggled and said, "I love you too."
Knock! Knock!
Suddenly the door of his room was knocked on by someone.
"Mr. Ichijou, please be ready since your fight will be starting soon."
"That"s my call," Yuuki said.
"Yuuki, before you go to the arena." Haibara took a shopping bag and gave it to him. "Wear this."
"What?"
"It"s our gift," Isuzu said.
Rossweisse nodded and said, "Just think of it as a good luck charm."
"I"ll wear it," Yuuki said happily and took off his pants directly.
"WHY DID YOU HAVE TO CHANGE HERE?!" Rossweisse hurriedly said.
"........"
Shouko, Haibara, and Izusu only looked at him with dumbfounded expression blush on their face.
Yuuki didn"t care much since they had seen him naked several times in the past and wore the new fighter shorts that they had bought for him. "It fits perfectly."
"......"
Everyone who saw this felt a bit pity for the girls beside them to see him in these clothes.
"Thank you," Yuuki said and kissed them.
"Why not kiss us on the outside?" Rossweisse asked.
"It"ll be hard to kiss Haibara outside," Yuuki said.
"....."
They looked at Haibara who was in an elementary form and nodded. If he really kissed her then the people who saw them would think of them weirdly.
Haibara thought for a while and said, "I might really try to use my grown-up form." She thought it would be also troublesome when she went on a date with him.
"Well, let"s do it after we have gone bac," Yuuki said.

In another room, the organizer knocked on the door of the partic.i.p.ant to get ready for the battle.
"Akoya, you"re ready?"
The one who asked this question was the pet.i.te woman who was also the CEO of Wakasa Life Insurance. and her name is Hiyama Shunka.
Hiyama asked her representative fighter who was sitting while covering his head with a towel.
"Nonsense, justice has never slept," the man said and took off the towel on his head.
His name is Akoya Seishu and he is a police inspector, the captain of the 44th Riot Squad. He is a bulky muscular man with an angular head, sharp facial features and cheekbones, focused eyes, thin black eyebrows and black hair that is gelled backward into backward-facing spikes.
"Is he also evil?" Hiyama asked.
"Yes, the son of the Yakuza group is also evil," Akoya said.
"Even though he hasn"t done anything?" Hiyama asked.
"It might seem that he hasn"t done anything and he is clear, however, that he has drowned a group of people in Tokyo Bay in the past," Akoya said with a serious expression. "The Yakuza group has always been a Yakuza group. They"re evil and that fact won"t change no matter what."
In the past, Yuuki had made someone drown in Tokyo Bay because they almost raped Yukana in the past. Even though he had cleaned everything without any evidence, there was one person who had been very suspicious of him.
"Are you sure?" Hiyama asked.
"Yes." Akoya looked at Hiyama and asked, "Why do you want to protect him?"
"Me? Protect him?" Hiyama was surprised by Akoya"s question. She had never thought of that question, but before she remembered that he was sweating profusely before.
"It would be too late if he married the daughter of the Chief," Akoya said. He knew that Yuuki would marry Marika and if that really happened then his chance to do justice at him would be gone. He also wouldn"t be able to think what Yuuki would do if Yuuki had become the chairman of the a.s.sociation.
"......"
Hiyama looked at him and asked, "What if he does the same as you?"
"......." Akoya was in silence for a while and said, "I won"t die until the evil in this world has been purged."
"You"re only one person," Hiyama said.
"It"s okay." Akoya warmed his body and said, "I"ll kill them one by one until nothing is left in this world."
"......"
Hiyama looked at Akoya and smiled. "I"ll be beside you at that time."
"......"
Akoya looked at Hiyama for a while and went out of his room. "Let"s go."
"Yes."
