Tsukasa prepared the instant apple teas before they started their conversation.

As for where he could get the apple tea, he just rummaged the shelf in the kitchen and just found them by chance.

“What is this?” Julie stood by his side, pressing her defenseless body to Tsukasa, who prepared the apple tea.

Tsukasa looked at Julie and thought that if he wasn’t in gentleman mode, he might have already eaten this girl. However, he wondered why. It felt like he had a daughter or something. He patted Julie’s head gently, which caused her to purr, showing a comfortable expression. “It’s apple tea. Also, you should wait for me there and don’t stand too close to me.”

“Why? I want to get close to Tsukasa,” Julie said with some confusion.

‘…If it’s someone else, they might mistake it for a love confession, you know?’

Tsukasa sighed inwardly and asked, “Where did you learn your Japanese?”

“I learned it from my mother. She’s a translator.”

“I see…” Tsukasa thought for a moment and asked, “What language is used in Gimle?”

“It’s a Gimle language.”

“…..”

Tsukasa felt that he had said a stupid question, but he praised Julie. “It’s amazing that you can learn Japanese, though.”

“Ja. Thanks.” Julie gave a soft smile and said, “It’s all thanks to my mother.”

“If possible, I want to meet your mother in the future.” Tsukasa didn’t have a deeper meaning in his words, so please don’t misunderstand him.

“Ja.” Julie nodded and said, “Let’s visit my country sometimes too.”

“It’s a promise then.” Tsukasa raised his pinky, to which Julie happily responded by intertwining her pinky on him.

The two talked for a while before they sat on the soft carpet side by side.

The dorm at Kouryou Academy was smaller, but it wasn’t that bad. However, it didn’t have a sofa, so they could only sit on the soft carper right under the air conditioner, considering how Julie felt hot by the temperature of this country.

“Tsukasa, how did you use the move in the Qualification Ceremony?” Julie asked innocently.

“Move?”

“Yeah.” Julie nodded and said, “The one before, you could blow everyone away with that fist.” She clenched her fist and tried to mimic his punch. While her punch didn’t have a similar effect to his punch, it was strong enough, creating a gale of wind around her fist.

While her fist was small and her arm was thin, the physical growth that was given by the Lukifer wasn’t something that could be scoffed off.

However…

Tsukasa felt that Julie’s smell was quite different from a normal Exceed.

While it was similar, it was also different.

If Tsukasa had to give an example, her smell would be much darker. He looked at this petite girl for a moment and shook his head since they had known each other for a day. Talking too much would be rude to either of them.

“I copied it.”

“Copy…?” Julie was dumbfounded.

“Do you remember a student with a shield-shaped blaze?”

“Ja.”

Julie remembered the vague appearance of a male student who used a shield as his Blaze. While she must admit the punch that male students used was strong, it was far too weak compared to Tsukasa.

“I looked at his move for a moment and copied it before improving it.”

“…Is such a thing possible?” Julie was dumbfounded since the time Tsukasa needed to copy that boy’s move was so fast!

“It might be impossible for someone else, but I am different.” Tsukasa looked at Julie and asked, “You want to learn it?”

“Ja!” Julie nodded without hesitation.

“Well, that move isn’t suited for you.”

“…Isn’t suited for me?”

“You’re more suited to the speed type of a fighter. I can also use dual short swords too, and if you want, I can teach you a move or two.”

“Really?” Julie became even closer as their distance was just a few centimeters away.

Tsukasa could smell a sweet scent from her body, which made him sigh at how scumbag he was. “Okay, keep your distance a bit. We’re a boy and a girl. If you keep doing this, I might…”

“You might…?”

Tsukasa looked at this innocent girl for a moment then whispered something to her.

Her face turned red instantly, and she added a few center meters away from him. While she was shy about what he might do to her, she didn’t hate it.

When Julie was with Tsukasa, he gave off a different feeling when she was with her father. While he gave off a similar feeling to her father, she felt something more from him. However, she wasn’t sure what it was since it was her first time to feel something like this.

“Should we sleep now?” Tsukasa asked since he was afraid their relationship might develop into something similar to Stella shortly.

“Wa-Wait.”

“Hmm?”

“Tsukasa, your Blaze… why does it have the shape of a gun?” Julie’s question was similar to the questions that everyone wanted to ask since the shape of his Blaze was a gun, which was something that should be impossible, considering a Blaze could only have the shape of a simple weapon.

“Oh, my Blaze can change to any shape.” Tsukasa summoned his Blaze and transformed it into two kodachi on both of his hands.

“…..”

Julie was dumbfounded, but she wasn’t the type of person who was good at talking, so she wasn’t sure what to say after this.

Tsukasa returned his Blaze and said, “My Blaze can transform into any shape that I want to.”

“Amazing…” Julie must admit she was a bit envious at this moment.

“Well, it isn’t amazing since if I don’t have the skills to wield those weapons, it’ll be useless, so that’s why I need to work harder.” Tsukasa thought it was enough for them to talk and said, “Should we sleep?”

“…I am not sleepy yet.” Julie shook her head while wondering what the reason why Tsukasa decided to become stronger was.

“Then should we watch the stars together?”

“Stars?”

“Yeah. We’re on an artificial island far away from the city, so the stars are pretty clear here.” Tsukasa opened the veranda and sat on the ground as he watched the stars.

Julie sat next to him and asked while staring at his sidelong face, which made her blush somehow, “Tsukasa, do you like stars?”

“I like stars.”

“Why?”

“It might seem weird, but I like them because they don’t judge me. They don’t say anything. They just shine beautifully in the sky in silence, so we won’t stumble during the dark.”

Lastly, while they were beautiful, they wouldn’t stab him, so Tsukasa loved stars.

Julie kept looking at his sidelong face until she felt drowsy and leaned on his shoulder.

Tsukasa looked at Julie, who started to sleep before he carried her to her bed. “Good night, Julie.” He then also climbed into his bed and slept, dreaming that he was stabbed by many of his girlfriends.
