Chivalry of a Failed Knight Volume 9

Stella’s entire body heaved, and at the same time the final button of her
dress popped off. Then, her breasts that were pushed down bounced off like
jelly and her dress opened wide from the impact. But not everything was
revealed. The dress that was split to both sides had stopped at the peaks of
her breasts. Yes, it got stuck. Barely though. Therefore, although he could not
see the peaks, the surrounding parts which were half of her white breasts had
been exposed, and their color became more different closer to the peaks.

–––It’s okay to bite.
Ikki then suddenly remembered the words Stella said a while ago in a
similar situation. Yes. That’s right. She definitely said something like that
before. ––In other words, he had her promise. It was already allowed. So
there was no need to hold back. Let’s bite.
“W-Wait…!”
He wouldn’t wait… because Stella said this was okay. He definitely
wouldn’t wait. As Ikki was about to strip off the clothing stuck on the peaks
of her breasts,
“…This is so embarrassing that… it feels like my chest… is going to
break…!”
“……………”
He stopped his movements at her nice voice which was almost a scream
she was holding off. He turned his gaze from Stella’s breasts to her face, and
tears welled up in her wet scarlet eyes as she was breathing shallowly. The
amount was not as much as overflowing tears, but her bottom eyelashes were
wet, and the feelings included…was fear. Although she said it was okay, as
expected scary things were scary. Thinking about it, Stella must have always
worked hard before today as well. She gathered her courage and showed him
that she was a woman. To be stronger, to be closer, so that they can make
love with one another.
Do you have any idea how long I’ve been waiting for you to say that? She
really had been waiting for him this whole time. Thinking of that devotion,

Page|148 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com

the forceful emotion known as lust that warmed his entire body had faded
away. What boiled up instead was love that could even make them feel
uneasy. He wanted to treat this girl gently. He didn’t want her to have a scary
memory of this day that she had always been waiting for. So,

“Stella…”
“…!?”
Ikki took his hand away from her dress and leaned forward, joining his
lips together with Stella’s lips. It was not a sexual kiss like biting, but a kiss
that exchanged each other’s moisture like the ones he always did with Stella.
“………”
He repeated it several times, and stiffness from Stella’s body faded away.
The sensation from the usual kiss seemed to reassure her. But–– that was not
good. Because today they were not leaving things at the same place. So
Ikki…made the kiss deeper.
“………!”
He slipped his tongue between Stella’s lips and invaded her mouth.
Stella’s body bounced at the sudden sensual stimulation. But this kind of
deep kiss wasn’t their first. Stella also didn’t show any fear. She immediately
moved her tongue as well, as if welcoming Ikki’s tongue. Just as usual. But…
this was the end of the usual.
“………”
Stella eventually realized. While the action itself was the usual, the
amount of time was different. If it was the usual they would have let go of
their lips by now, but Ikki wouldn’t stop. He wouldn’t let go of her lips. He
wouldn’t let her escape. His tongue crawled into her reasoning, melting it
away as if it was candy. He was persistently melting her down.
“~~~~~~~~~!”
The wet sounds of their kissing can be heard in the infirmary at night.
Their salivas were bubbling from being mixed together, and overflowing
from their lips. But, Ikki would not allow them to spill like that. He lift

Page|149 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com

Stella’s chin up and poured all of them down into her throat. Stella
swallowed the melted fluids of their passion. The burning passion warmed
the tissues inside Stella’s throat.

Then at the same time, Ikki slid and crawled his fingers from Stella’s knee
into between her thighs. However, he never touched her crotch. He was
uncertain of whether or not he should touch it, but he was stimulated into
tracing along the lines between her thighs. His fingers moved slowly starting
from near the knees and towards the crotch, back and forth repeatedly. And
when his fingers finally reached near the edge of her underwear, Ikki could
feel from his fingertips that her thighs starting to twitch. Looking into her
eyes he could see that the fear had already begun to melt into passion which
made even her vision to become unclear. Her body was hot from the inner
and outer stimulations, and flushed cherry blossom pink. Sweats along with
sweet scent indicating Stella was strongly aroused were released. It was proof
that her heart and body were ready.

“Are you okay now?”
“……Yeah…”
“If you’re scared then just tell me. I will do this as many times until your
feelings have calmed.”
“……I’m… okay.”
It seemed she had no strength. Stella made a smile that looked like she
was melting. Her gaze was soft from dizziness, but even so it held Ikki in
place and would not let him go. Her braveness was so lovely that Ikki gently
kissed Stella three more times. ––Then, when their lips separated, he placed a
hand on her shoulder,
And took her clothes off.
Under the moonlight, her naked body, flushed in faintly cherry blossom
pink, was revealed. The delicate line of her neck. Her slender, feminine arms.
And, the part of her that seemed the most contrasting – her breasts that
largely jiggled but remained attached to her body, and the cherry blossom

Page|150 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com

pink nipples that became exposed and slightly jiggled from the stimulation of
her clothes being removed. At such beauty, Ikki forgot to breathe.

“You’re so beautiful…”
His mind was so overwhelmed that only such common words could come
out. Even right now he wanted to hold on to her. Half of his body, inside his
pants had already become painfully excited. But even so, Ikki had to restrain
himself. Even if he forgot to breathe, he would not forget to care for Stella.
He held his ground, and proceeded to make final confirmation.
He scooped up some of the saliva on her collar bone that had dripped
down from her mouth with his finger and smeared it on her right nipple. He
rubbed it with the pulp of his finger. Then,
“Aahh…nnn…” For the first time, a clear flirtatious voice came out of
Stella’s mouth.
When he moved his fingers away, he could see that the shape of her nipple
was clearly different from the one on her left breast. Her left breast had no
hand on it, and her right breast was swollen and wet with saliva. That
sensational difference hit Ikki’s reasoning hard.
––It was agonizing. His breathing was out of order. His forehead hurt.
Honestly, it was too painful to endure any longer.
––But, was it okay now? Was it really okay to go further now? He had no
experience after all. He had no idea because he had no experience. Though
Stella said that it was okay, he wondered if would hurt her if he began now.
As Ikki was worrying about it,
––Stella reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck. Then, she
spoked as she smiled.
“Thank you… for being so gentle with me. It really is okay now.”
Thus, he didn’t have to endure anymore. “Ikki, you can do what you want
to me, all of them…”
“……!”
Those words were the trigger. He didn’t hesitate anymore. He wouldn’t

Page|151 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com

turn back. Under the moonlight, two shadows melted together, overlapping
with passion. How much was his, and how much was hers? They embraced
each other strongly and deeply that it was not clear anymore. Their voices no
longer carried any meaning and their lips were desperately seeking their
beloved partner. In the midst of it, Ikki Kurogane… vowed to himself.

I won’t let this girl be unhappy.
He would never let her regret choosing the man named Ikki Kurogane. He
strongly vowed on his own soul.

Page|152 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com

Page|153 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com

The sounds of birds chirping from somewhere could be heard. As if being
invited by them, Ikki woke up from his slumber. The morning light shined on
his opened eyes. The sky on that day was displayed on the window, and it
was perfectly clear that it would make anyone feel good. It was a wonderful
morning.

…And yet his body felt completely heavy. He felt like he was sunken into
the bed so firmly that it seemed impossible to move. At the same time his
consciousness was the same, which his eyes received the morning sun but he
was far from having completely woken up. That was not good, and so in
order to lead his mind and body to awakening, Ikki took a single breath.
Then… a sweet, floral scent tickled his nostrils. Ikki knew that smell. He
turned his head to the side, and as if it was natural she was there. Stella’s
appearance was that her white body was covered in sheets up to her
shoulders, and she showed a gentle smile. When their eyes met, Stella’s
scarlet eyes became squinted from shyness.

“Good morning, dear.”
“……!”
“Ehehe, I had wanted to try saying that once.”
That one word made his heart jump and his face flush. The expression of
special love that Stella spoke of. The moment he heard that, any sleepiness
was blown away and Ikki remembered it. Everything that happened here last
night.
(I-I see, of course my body would feel heavy…). He understood
everything now, and looked over at the plastic debris. (I can’t believe we
actually used them all…!)
He wondered what had happened to their fear and nervousness from
before. It all happened after the first one was over – Stella was strangely
turned on. Once she was in a mount position, it went out of control. Well, one
way or the other he also felt ecstatic so it seemed Stella wasn’t the only one
turned on. …Even so, there should have been a limit. He never thought of

Page|154 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com

cursing his self-control that had kept going since the school opening
ceremony. Since it was this excessive, he wouldn’t be able to move normally
the next day.

(We’ll need to be more careful next time…)
It was a mistake for him not to consider about Stella’s trained body. As
Ikki was cautioning himself, he asked Stella, who seemed to have sustained
actual damage more than himself.
“Is your body okay?”
“It still quite hurts. It might be hard to walk without feeling the pain. Ikki,
you’re surprisingly a brute. Doing those things to a girl during her first time.
“But I shouldn’t be the only one to be blamed for that, right? I’m sure of
it”
“W-Well… that’s true.”
She probably thought she overdid it too. She averted her eyes that looked
embarrassed.
“Couldn’t you heal it with your dragon regeneration?”
“I could, but… I want to stay like this for a while.”
Her reply made him tilted his head. If she could heal it, then she really
should. Ikki would feel guilty about her always feeling pain, but––
“After all, this is proof of being loved by Ikki.”
“~~~~~!!!”
Being told such things with such face filled with happiness made him
speechless. Even though they made love to each other so much last night, she
was so lovely that it hurt him.
––What a cruel woman.
He had to control himself. He shouldn’t get drowned in it. Even as he
decided this, he knew that he needed to do the same thing she strongly did to
him. By any means, he needed to express this love or else he wouldn’t feel
good. He wouldn’t feel good if he didn’t let her know how much he loved
her. With that in his mind, Ikki’s hand naturally reached Stella’s cheek. Stella

Page|155 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com

didn’t resist. She could feel Ikki’s feelings being transmitted to her from the
heat on the palm of his hand, closed her eyes, and moved her lips slightly
forward. As if being drawn in by those lips, Ikki moved his face closer and
his lips…,

It was when their lips were about to meet.
“Onii-sama. Stella-san. Are you awake already?” During the knock,
Shizuku’s voice from outside the door was heard.
“HYU!?!?”
In that very sudden situation, they both let out a weird scream. And
unfortunately it was heard by Shizuku and Arisuin outside.
“It seems that you are awake.”
(I-Ikki! Hurry and go to the other bed!)
(Ah, Stella’s robe is…)
(There’s no time to put it on! Pick it up and hide it! I’m hiding the trashes
on the bed after all!)
(Okay, I get it…!)
Ikki grabbed the fallen robe from under the bed, jumped into the other
bed, and hid it under the sheets. In that same moment the door to the
infirmary opened, and Shizuku and Arisuin entered.
“Good morning, Onii-sama, Stella-san.”
“Did you two sleep well? …Oh?” Arisuin stopped as soon as he came into
the room though. “Hmmm. Aaah. I see…”
His mouth made a somewhat meaningful smile. At his expression that
looked like he had guessed everything, Stella began to sweat rapidly.
“W-W-W-W-What are you grinning for, Alice?!”
“Hmmm? No reason. I was just thinking you two had so much fun last
night.”
“W-W-W-W-W-We didn’t do anything!!”
Shizuku managed to slip in the words “What do you mean?” during
Stella’s objection.

Page|156 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com

“Even though it seemed you two had fun fighting each other.”
“Oh, …y-you meant that.”
“That?”
“N-Nothing!”
“…?”
(Stella… your behavior is too suspicious.)
It was not good at this rate. Thinking that, Ikki addressed Shizuku to draw
her attention away from Stella.
“Shizuku, thank you for going to the trouble of coming to wake us.”
“No, there is no need to thank me for something this much. …Actually I
would like Onii-sama who did his best to rest at ease more, but considering
the time of the award ceremony I thought it was probably better to have
breakfast soon.”
“Y-Yeah. Well then, I need to be ready by getting dressed, so could you
wait outside?” He somehow managed to maintain his expression even though
he felt pain and guilt while his little sister was being concerned for his entire
body. Ikki suggested Shizuku to leave and she did not have any problem with
it.
“I understand. I will wait outside then. Let’s go, Alice.” She said that as
she turned back. ––With this, now they could…
“By the way, Stella-san. It’s been bugging me for a while, but what is ‘that
rubber ballon-like thing’ that fell under your bed?
“EH!?!? No way! I should have picked up all of them––––ah!”
Stella peeked under her bed and there was nothing. But the careless words
that came out of her mouth had provided enough detail for confirmation.
“Stella…”
“Uh-oh~”
While the males gave despairing sighs, the girls’ faces grew pale. One was
going pale from panic, while the other went into a rage that made her pale.
“I see. I see… As I expected, it was that, huh. I thought something was

Page|157 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com

weird about you two …”
Shizuku made a smile that only reached her mouth but her eyes glowed

with green demonic fire, even as the temperature in the room all around her
fell below freezing temperature. With cracking sounds, frost spread across the
glass windows of the room, despite it being midsummer.

“Sh-Shizuku… Uh-uhm… this is……well–”. During it, Stella tried to
somehow reason with her much though,

“Oh, no no. It’s fine if you don’t finish, really. Basically it’s that, right?
Last night, after having faced Onii-sama in an earnest contest, when Stella-
san seriously thought about how she intended to express her intent to reward
him, the two of you must have been ‘Dragon Fang-ing the Ittou Shura of the
Night’–”

“H, hey?! I think we can find a better time to tell you about this
properly…”

“Any last request?”
“No-”
“I see. So last requests are not needed.”
From the start, there was nothing they could say to persuade Shizuku once
she was on fire. In the next moment, the green magic light coming out of
Shizuku blown away all the windows.
“Well then, right now, DIEEEEEEEE!!!!”
“KYAAAAA!”
“Wai–, Shizuku, Calm dow–”
“SHAAAA– – – – –”
“Yikes, sorry it was nothing!”
“IKKI– –! Why did you move back there– – – –!
“It’s, not, my problem”
“MUSHAAAA– – – – – – – – –”
And so a bloody blizzard devastated the infirmary.
At long last the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival came to an end.

Page|158 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com

“From among the 32 people selected from the eight schools of Japan, only
one has made it to the top. All of those matches ended with yesterday’s final
match. The 26 matches were carried out intensely. They were magnificent
and I remember every detail of them.”

The head of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival’s steering committee
Kaieda Yuuzou made a speech at the venue where the excitement from
yesterday had not yet cooled down. Everyone’s eyes were not at Kaieda, but
were at the curve-shaped podium in front of him. To be precise, at the place
where the competitors would go up to. They were eagerly waiting, for the
appearance of the ones who would be crowned as the victors, the leading
actors of this tournament. Shinomiya Amane who was one of the two who
were at third place had committed a bad foul play by continuing to attack
even after the match ended, and Kurogane Ouma who automatically won
third place had left yesterday for Osaka. They were not at this place, but the
remaining two, Kurogane Ikki and Stella Vermillion, were in the waiting
room.

“G-Good grief, haa, haa! Stupid Shizuku, she went too serious! Anyone
else other than me would have died, really…!”

“A-Are you okay, Stella?” Ikki stroked the back of Stella who was
slumping in her folding chair and gasping for breath. Stella had kept being
chased around by Shizuku until just now.

“Honestly, I managed to get away from her just now but I’m really scared
of later.”

“Next time I’ll explain to her too.” But at these words, Stella adjusted her
breathing after taking a deep breath and,

“No, it’s fine”, she refuted back.
“Why?”
“Making Shizuku understand is my responsibility.”
“That’s not true, this is our-” But at Ikki’s words, Stella shook her head
sideways.

Page|159 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com

“Sorry. I know that. I know, but I want to do this alone.” Stella had made
up her mind long ago. It was natural. Because she was the girl who loved Ikki
that much, she was taking him away. This was something she had to finish on
her own.

“If it’s not like that, I won’t be able to face Shizuku with pride. I can’t let
you help this time.”

Ikki showed his understanding at Stella’s words. It was very much like a
girl’s responsibility. Ikki just couldn’t help but loving this part of her. And
so, Ikki encouraged Stella who was being like this. “…Okay. Good luck.”

“Why are you saying like it doesn’t involve you?”
“Eh?” Ikki obviously felt confused at her reply because a moment ago she
said she would do it alone. But Stella had a good reason for saying that it
involved him too.
“Don’t you remember? You were told after the match with Touka-san,
right? What my father said.”
“………ah”.
After being told that, Ikki remembered too now. The scandal that had
erupted around Stella and the ethics committee’s rampage. At the end of that
incident, the King of Vermillion, Stella’s father, had sent a message to him
through Stella, “After the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival is over, come and
meet me at the Vermillion Empire.”
“R-right, that happened…” It certainly involved him. It would be right to
say it was a do-or-die situation for him.
“Speaking of which, I already booked a flight for a week from now.”
“Eeeeeh?!?!”
“It was already decided from the start, right?”
“W-Well yeah, but… my…my heart isn’t ready! Can’t we at least
postpone for a week?”
“If the country’s army can hold out another week, then it’s fine.”
Did that mean that a war would break out if we don’t go within a week?!

Page|160 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com

“Don’t tell me, I may be the second princess, but you’re not going to run
away after you deflowered a nation’s princess, are you~?”

“Uu…”
“My father is just as scary as Shizuku, you know~. Good luck, d~e~a~r
♥.”
There was no getting out of this completely. There was no other way but
to accept this.
“I… I’ll do my best…” Ikki nodded as he felt cold sweat breaking out all
across his body,
“And now we will carry out the 62nd Seven Stars Sword Festival’s awards
ceremony. Everyone here, please give a round of applause to the winners!”
Just as their talk had reached a resting-place, Kaieda was calling them out.
During this Stella rose from her chair as if leaping out of it and turned to face
Ikki,
“Well then, let’s go, Ikki”, she said and reached out a hand to him. The
winner and the runner-up would be awarded separately. So, at least she
wanted to be welcomed together when entering.
“…Okay.” Understanding Stella’s feelings, he took her hand. Then, they
made their entry from the same gate while holding hands. Instantly ––
“WAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!”
After they had just waited, round of applauses and cheers rained on the
two.
“Ikki-kun! Congratulations!!”
“Ahh! Look! They’re holding hands!”
“Woohoo! You two look great together!”
“Your highness Stella! You will get your revenge next year for sure– – –
–!”
“You two were really amazing– – – –!”
As they were being welcomed, the two were walking down the aisle
towards the stage while holding hands. Eventually, the two stood on the stage

Page|161 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com

with Kaeida, and the voices of the tens of thousands of people soon became
smaller and quiet, creating formal silence in the end. After waiting for the
silence, Kaieda announced the name of this tournament’s runner-up.

“Hagun Academy, first year, Stella Vermillion.”
“Yes”. Stella, whose name was called, let go of Ikki’s hand and walked
towards Kaieda.
“In the 62nd Seven Stars Sword Festival, you left behind brilliant
achievements and reached second place. For that, I hereby award you this. …
Congratulations.”
“…………”
Stella took the certificate Kaieda presented in both of her hands and
bowed. She then turned back and bowed to the audience. The audience
returned the favor with huge applause without any words. During the
applause, Stella faced the winners’ podium and stood on the second highest
place. –––While very dignified, it was done masterfully. As expected, she
was used to being on stage. Then as silence descended upon the ceremony
once again,
“Hagun Academy, first year, Kurogane Ikki.” It was finally Ikki’s turn.
“Yes!” During the silence, he replied with a clear good voice and walked
forward. Though he was not used to being on stage like Stella, he had good
posture. His appearance was dignified and powerful, which was as good and
didn’t lose to Stella’s. Once Ikki stood before him, Kaieda awarded him.
“In the 62nd Seven Stars Sword Festival, you stood on the top after
winning through fierce battles. For such accomplishments, I hereby award
you this certificate and the title of ‘Seven Star Sword King’. …
Congratulations.”
Along with the certificate was the title of the strongest student knight in
this country. …It was what Ikki had always continuously aimed for. In a
moment, various thoughts were recurring in Ikki’s mind. Meeting Kurogane
Ryouma. The days of training since then. The memories of entering dojos

Page|162 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com

and the taste of blood from being almost killed many times. Being
continuously held back for a year at Hagun Academy. Then, his chance
meeting with his most beloved girl – Right now, a resolution to those days
had been formed. The path of carnage he walked through was never wrong.

“Thank you.” With many thoughts filling him, he accepted the certificate.
But there was no applause. Everyone in attendance knew after all, that the
winner still had something left to do.

“Kurogane.”
Shinguuji Kurono, the chairman of Hagun Academy, was waiting beside
Kaieda and she handed something over to Ikki in order for him to fulfill his
duty. It was what Todou Touka entrusted him with as the representative
leader of his school – Hagun Academy’s school flag. What should he do with
Kurono’s alma mater’s flag? Ikki of course understood even without being
told. It was what he had promised. He entrusted his certificate to Kurono and
received the school flag in exchange. He then stood next to Stella, on the top
of the winners’ podium… the summit of the Seven Stars, and raised the flag
high towards the sky. —–Immediately after,
“———————————!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“………!”
It was as if the applause was pouring down on him like waterfall and the
cheers splashing over his whole body.
“Kurogane-kun, you’re the best– –!”
“All hail the new Seven Stars Sword King!”
“Next year, I will be cheering you again– – – –!
“You looked cool! Ikki-kun!”
It wasn’t just from the audience seats. The cheers were also coming from
outside the venue. They were also blessings that came from tens of thousands
of people he didn’t even know. And of course, they weren’t just from people
he didn’t know. Those who Ikki knew also gave their blessings to him who
was standing on the top.

Page|163 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com

“You’re looking good now–!”
“Hmph.”
Arisuin waving his hand, and Shizuku applauding mildly beside him with
her cheeks puffed out like a hamster that had too much to eat.
“Kurogane-kun, congratulations!”
“……Hmph.”
Kurashiki Kuraudo who diligently came to this place and standing with his
arms crossed as if bored, and also Ayatsuji Ayase who wanted to attend the
awards ceremony for the person she was indebted to by forcing herself as
someone associated with Kuraudo.
“Thank you! Kurogane-kun!”
“As expected of the man who defeated me, Runner’s High!”
The student council members who had done their best to protect everyone
during the Akatsuki attack. And–
“Yo, Kurogane! I won’t lose next year so be prepared–!”
“Are you planning to fail a year, Yuu…?”
“Ah… you’re right. I won’t be here next year. What should I do…”
“Even if you were here what were you planning to do?”
The rivals he competed with for the top, on the stage of this Seven Stars
Sword Art Festival.
Accepting their blessings, Ikki had made a decision. ––Become strong. So
that he would not be ashamed of the blessings and the ‘Seven Stars Sword
King’ title he received. More than now, always from now on. Then––
With these celebrations, the final program of the Seven Stars Sword Art
Festival came to an end. Kaieda then began to speak towards everyone
present.
“Well then…I now announce the 62nd Seven Stars Sword Art Festival to
be o-”. However, it happened during that time.
“““HOLD IT RIGHT THEREEEEEEE!!!!”””
In an instant, dozens of voices belonging to the same girl, overlapping

Page|164 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com

each other, had echoed throughout the venue, and dozens of people’s forms
jumped over the fence and rushed towards the ring. Everyone in the venue
was shocked at the sight. It was because it was so sudden, but more than that
it was because the dozens of intruders were girls that had the same face.

“W-What?!”
“The same person, that many!?”
Of course, the adults immediately responded to this situation. In order to
calm the situation down, they were trying to catch them. But just as the girls
were captured by the adults, they disappeared like smoke one by one. It was a
Noble Art that created clones of herself. The girls split herself up and broke
through the adults’ line of defense. She slipped into the front of the podium
where Ikki and Stella were standing. The two became dumbfounded at the
face of the intruder. But that was expected. After all, the one who intruded
was,
“You…!”
“Kusakabe-san?!”
She was their classmate and friend. Kusakabe Kagami of the Hagun
Academy’s Newspaper Club. Just what is her intention? They were going to
ask, but before they could Kagami had already brought out a camera in her
hand.
“Stella-chan! Get beside Senpai! It’s no good if you stay in that place!”
“……!!” Stella and Ikki understood what those words meant in no time.
“Stella!”
“Okay…!”
As Kagami aimed the camera lens towards them, Stella’s face that was
dignified until now had turned into a smiling face like a blooming flower.
She jumped onto the top of the podium where Ikki was standing. Ikki caught
Stella without staggering and supported her body.
Kurogane Ikki’s chivalry would continue from now on. He would walk
beside his irreplaceable and most beloved rival. At the appearance of the two

Page|165 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com

standing as equals, everyone in the venue gained an understanding as if the
final piece of a puzzle got into place, thinking ‘Ah, I see’.

It was the conclusion of the battle. Even if the outcome was difficult to
shake and remained as a record, these two should be together like this. From
now on, always. ––Forever.

“Okay! Cheese!”
