[IkeSen Scenario/Headcanon] Alignment Charts {Part 4}

______________________________


______________________________


_______________________________


I decided to use chibis I drew for alignment charts from now on!

I also decided to include my MC in these for fun!

Btw the reason why I included Kichou is because there was an extra space in the candy alignment chart.

Anyways, here’s a legend with the characters just in case you can’t tell who’s who:

I hope you like these! There are IkeVamp ones coming up too! ^^

leonardhoee:

Ikesen High School AU

(This is a joke. Dont take it seriously.)

Enjoy!

Nobunaga would be that typical sexist rich asshole dude who calls women “females” You will be walking by and he’ll be like “AYO bitch go make me a sandwich”. He’s not a dumb jock though. He’s student body President and the administration loves him so nothing happens to him. He’s also on the debate team. He would absolutely dress like one of those daddy’s money frat boys. He, Mitsuhide, and Hideyoshi are the popular. Has a huge house so he hosts all the parties. (He will talk about it in front of you though and won’t invite you. Just ask Kennyo.). Doesn’t really trust Mitsuhide but stays friends with him because he’s entertaining and knows everything about everyone. The only other person who has their career planned out but it’s only because he can buy his way into a good school. Asks you out and gets mad when you say no. (Senior)

Hideyoshi reminds the teacher about homework 2 minutes before class is about to be dismissed. He is so whipped for nobunaga. He acts like the pick me girl who kisses up to the popular boys. He does Nobunaga’s schoolwork and he’s honored to be the scapegoat for nobunaga’s shit. He’s nobunaga’s dumb blonde sidekick. He will do whatever Nobunaga says but he’s very nice if you talk to him without Nobu and Mitsuhide around. Made out with Mitsuhide once when he was drunk. He doesn’t remember but Mitsu does. Used to get bullied in elementary school so now he’s just happy that he’s popular. (Junior)

Mitsuhide is the equivalent of Regina George. He judges you on your clothes and does that judgy up and down look and laughs and whispers to Nobunaga right in front of you. In class you had to get in groups for a project. After you tried to join Mitsuhide’s group and he looks at you and then looks at nobu and laughs and says “We already have a group”. He would then laugh at watching you walk around awkwardly trying to find a group. If you do somehow join Mitsuhide’s group they basically make you do all the work for them. Has amazing grades though and was pissed that he wasn’t Valedictorian. Secretly wants Nobunaga to get in trouble so he can take his spot as the most popular. Ends up having a huge falling out with Nobunaga at the end of the year when they’re about to graduate and Hideyoshi gets him suspended. (Junior)

Masamune is the chillest person there. He’s a skater and he’s super popular. People love him, he’s the nice popular guy. He’d give you a school tour. He would also offer you a ride home after school. He lets you sit with him at lunch since you’re new and have no friends and he’d introduce you to his friend group which is Ieyasu and Mitsunari. He brings food for everyone and shared with with the class. His grades are average but teachers love him. Masamune and ieyasu are those friends that constantly roast/bully each other but it’s cuz they’re so close. And masa gives ieyasu a ride home everyday cuz Ieyasu doesn’t have a car yet. But he hates the way masa drives like a maniac. He’s on the track team and has a school wide record for the fastest times. Always late to class but charms the teachers into not giving him a detention. Ditches class sometimes and Ieyasu scolds him when he finds out. (Junior)

Ieyasu is the mysterious guy that listens to music constantly, barely talks to people, and has amazing grades. He hates attention even though he is a part of one of the most popular friend groups. He hates everyone including himself, but will help you if you are in danger even if he doesn’t know you. He would scold you after tho. (Sasuke has a crush on him). He wants to go to Med school and is one of the few people who has their whole career planned out. Ends up getting a scholarship to an Ivy League and Masamune throws him a surprise party. (Unlike Nobunaga he actually worked for his scholarship.) Co-Valedictorian with Sasuke. (Junior)

Mitsunari partners up with you in class when everyone else already has a group and you’re awkwardly standing there hoping someone saves you after Mitsuhide humiliated you. He walks you to class and makes sure you know where you’re going. He also helps you with your homework. Used to get bullied by Ieyasu in elementary school but now they’re friends. (Ieyasu won’t admit it though). He tutors Masamume. He can get along with anyone and everyone absolutely loves him. Even Mitsuhide is nice to him. Got voted “Best Smile” in the yearbook. (Sophomore)

Shingen is the nice fuckboy that you catch feelings for only to have your heart broken. But he breaks your heart in the nicest way possible because he’s a good person. Women love him because he gets into debates about women rights, feminism etc… Shingen calls out Nobunaga for being sexist. In a group project Shingen would have a full group SO fast because he’s so popular but he would help you find a different group. Will fight Nobunaga’s group with no questions asked. Got voted Prom King, much to Nobunaga’s disappointment. Captain of the wrestling team. (Senior)

Kenshin is the “bully” that actually needs constant validation and support. He actually stands up for people who GET bullied. He talks big but he is so sweet once you get to know him. But don’t tell anyone that. He is super protective of his friends and will fight anyone, any day if they messed with his people. Somehow has amazing grades. He is also that guy in P.E. that cusses you out when you’re partnered up with him and can’t keep up. Has to take anger management therapy after he almost punched an administrator who tried to break up a fight. (Senior)

Sasuke is the guy that you get notes and homework answers from. He tells you about all the other guys when you first arrive at the school and tells you to stay away from “the plastics”. Has amazing grades and tutors people in his free time. President of the robotics club and Co-Valedictorian with Ieyasu. Always tries to partner up with Ieyasu on projects. Beat Mitsuhide in the Academic Decathlon his freshman year and everyone knows. He is on the Volleyball team. (He definitely has a crush on Ieyasu) (Junior)

Yukimuraroasts you every single day if you’re friends with him. He humbles you. And says your hair looks like a hedgehog. But he’ll fight anyone who is genuinely being rude to you. Sasuke has to hold him back. He has gotten suspended before with Kenshin for fighting Nobunaga. (Nothing happened to Nobunaga though). He’s on the soccer team and Shingen brings the whole Kasaguyama squad to every match to cheer him on. (Sophomore)

Yoshimoto is the prettiest one in the whole school. Everyone agrees he’s absolutely stunning. His clothes are always on point and he’s nice to everyone. President of the fashion club and captain of the dance team. Has amazing grades in arts related subjects but he’s average in math and science. (Sasuke tutors him). Is the type to ask the teacher if he can have extra people in his group if he sees that you can’t find one. Takes all his friends shopping and gives you the best presents. Compliments you every time he sees you and advocates for the school to provide everyone more time for self care. Graduated with honors and made cookies for his friends and everyone that tutored him at the end of the year. (Junior)

Motonari is the guy who sells drugs in the bathroom during passing period. You later find out he got expelled for setting the science building on fire when he snuck into the chemistry classroom in the middle of the night to cook up some crack. Mitsuhide is his best customer and he buys from Motonari behind Nobunaga’s back. Motonari also may or may not have stabbed someone with a pencil at some point, who knows. He’s always in detention for something and there are wild rumors about him that he never denies or confirms. (Senior)

Kennyo is the emo kid who’s been bullied by Nobunaga since middle school. He’s tried to go to the administrators multiple times with proof that should get Nobunaga suspended but it never happens. One time Nobunaga tripped him as he was walking and and he fell into a trash can. Mitsuhide took a video and it’s been circulating ever since. He ate lunch in the bathroom for a month after that. Shingen invites him over sometimes but he’s more of a loner and just wants to graduate and never see anyone again. (Senior)

Ranmaru used to be really good friends with Kennyo until he ditched him in high school for Nobunaga. He always hangs around Nobunaga’s group and they keep him around to do their errands but don’t really consider him part of the group. Worried that Mitsuhide will find out he used to be friends with Kennyo and expose him. Like Hideyoshi he just wants to be popular. He also gets along with mostly everyone. (Freshman)

THIS IS SO ACCURATE SHHUSBAJWK

The pure chaotic energy from this post is gold ✨ I especially loved reading Masamune’s, Kenshin’s, and Yoshimoto’s. I live for their wholesomeness

You remembered the first time you entered the Tajihi-Sarugake castle. The mountainous backdrop and the lush green accompanied with the high stone walls and white plaster of the main building itself. The words that accompanied you when your mother led you through the gates by the hand remained stark in your memory, even after all these years.

“The boy living inside hasn’t known much kindness, just like the world. But if you give it to him he might learn.”

Young as you were you hadn’t given the words much importance, or any thought at all. Not when you met the young Shojumaru who fearlessly shot his arrows at the ghost army ahead, undaunted by whatever challenge was thrown at him. You hadn’t thought that this was someone with many worries, or lacking in kindness.

“Beggar prince, beggar prince, where is your castle?” The taunts had come and with each taunt the face of the young childe grew more grim and his fists heavier. He rolled through dust and mud to fight off the peers who taunted him, and his clothes went unwashed just as much as he himself went grimy.

You hadn’t understood that change either. Especially not when you extended a hand that promptly got swatted away.

“Dirty,” he had called your hand despite his own appearance and that was the last thing you had seen of the boy named Shojumaru.

The fierce beat of the drums were the only indication of the steps you had to take, the heavy fabrics hanging over you making it impossible to see the steps properly, as instinct polished were the only thing you could truly rely on when jumping.

The crowd cheered as you swirled around, shaking the head as practised while your partner flew behind, feet clamping just below the pole before clambering up as you prepared for the next jump ahead. The lion dance was a fierce one, requiring trust between both partners as they swung and swirled and carried and jumped. Trust and focus.

But when you were lifted into the air, the head of the lion stretched over your own, you caught a mop of white hair, dark tan and glaring reds. A rare combination in the area in which you found yourself in that you had only encountered once in your childhood.

The pull of gravity and your partner moving you for the next sequence brought your focus back as you once more jumped and continued the performance, hoping that you wouldn’t fall before the end.

When the ending act started you shook the head and rang the bells in front of the man with the piercing eyes, sneaky glances taken from through the mouth of the head as you went around asking for money for the show. An act you put on particularly long in front of the specific man that you hadn’t seen in so long until he as well conceded and threw some money in.

You couldn’t help yourself but to give him a little headbutt with the lionhead, an action that was met with some protest before you dashed away, your partner in tow who continued to match the improvised dance you two shared.

At night you found yourself alone in the dark, deftly jumping up and down over the crates as you grabbed hold of its figurehead, pulling yourself up to find a pair of foreign boots that belonged to a pair of angry red eyes.

“An intruder?” The man from the crowd had spoken dangerously, the heavy smell of smoke in his clothes as he drew the sword at his side.

Recognising the danger you were in you quickly made a swing for it, harder than you usually would in costume, and landed on the deck with a short breath before calling one name: “Shojumaru!”

That froze the man in his tracks, his expression folding into one of apprehension as he eyed you carefully, trying to make out who you were exactly. You didn’t blame him for not recognising you, knowing the time that had passed and the changes the two of you had gone through.

“Happy birthday!” you told him instead, leaving a trinket behind. You had no idea what he liked nowadays. No clue on what sort of man he was now, but you kept your distance as you left behind the only thing you had been able to afford on the market before disappearing once more, another deft jump off the deck into the shadows from which you had climbed.

It was perhaps the start of a game of cat and mouse, in which you found yourself the chased prey.

“To run into each other like that, is it fate?” you had purred at one point, to which the man named Motonari had only grunted. Motonari Mouri, you had learned Shojumaru to have grown into. And while you had learned he hadn’t figured you out, eyes still pierced through you as he tried to piece you together.

You couldn’t blame him for that, as much changed as you had from the days in which your mother had taught you to be kind. It was perhaps kindness not to remind him of that time in his childhood. It was a kindness to know that he was doing better than he had been before, when he was still that boy Shojumaru.

“Stop getting in my way, will ya,” he had grunted, and you had grimaced at that, shaking your head when you deftly jumped out of the way of his sword. Another encounter, another plan foiled to keep the war ongoing.

At least now you knew better how to show him kindness, leaving a trinket behind every time you met which you knew he stored. Whether to remind himself to hunt you down, or out of sentimentality was unclear to you as you sat down in the crow’s nest, watching the man point a gun into your direction as soon as he noticed you.

It was only by the mercy of Hiroyoshi that he hadn’t fired, the old vassal having recognised you since long ago, understanding your intentions even sooner than the captain himself had done.

“Come down, we will talk,” was all Motonari told you as he put away the weapon, knowing that you were somewhat out of danger decided to trust the man, climbing down from the highest point of the ship swinging to the deck.

Maybe Motonari had figured it out at some point as well, or perhaps Hiroyoshi had told him as you had left him guessing.

Rolling over the wood of the deck you were about to get up when you felt something bump your head. A soft bump, as if by accident, and a moment of panic went through your chest as you thought that it might be a weapon, eyes turning up to find a box instead.

“Happy birthday,” Motonari told you, and you wondered if the boy he was back then had remembered.

So about Yoshimoto’s route…

So, I’m doing things a bit different with this long review (Nvm this became a rant) and I’ll write the short (summarized version later on.) Mild spoilers ahead.

Let me just start off this review/thoughts with my admission that I had a hard time gauging whether Yoshimoto’s route was good or not. I can say that they really refreshed the route given they can only repeat the same storyline of (we noticed Kichou was trying to get us to fight each other and we have to overcome our dislike to fight the common enemy) so much. There’s nothing quite like Yoshimoto’s route but it’s not necessarily a happy thing. There’s a more somber tone throughout the route and it’s even reflected with the way MC thinks of herself and her love of Yoshimoto. I feel that characterization wise, everything seemed to make sense and more importantly the story along with the characters flowed and had proper build on the events that were happening.

However my main qualm with his route comes down to not having enough romance. There is a distance between MC and Yoshimoto that gets close but never close enough due to (spoiler reasons). I feel like this is the first time where MC seemed to have an unrequited love for her love interest. Or I should say second time haha I forgot about Motonari. This is not to say that Yoshimoto is cold, I feel like the writers did a good job of not having a LI that is too distant and absent from his own route. They gave us just enough crumbs that Yoshimoto did like her back but since he constantly put up his walls around him and kept telling MC that she wasn’t allowed to love him, it just gave me an unsatisfying feeling of I know I love you but I’m not going to do anything (ala Skip Beat). I felt like he acted as the authentic sacrificial lamb given that he actually went as far as to (betray MC and his friends) and swore to end his whole ordeal with Yoshiaki by going down in flames.

As a side note, I feel that the love rival in his route (Ranmaru) is the strongest love rival in all the routes thus far due to the proximity that he had with MC throughout the whole thing. It was good that the writers balanced Yoshimoto’s absences with MC constantly chasing after him because otherwise Ranmaru would of had more screen time than the main love interest. He really was supportive of MC throughout the whole ordeal despite knowing that MC was never going to look at him the same way she looked at Yoshimoto. Ranmaru just felt content being by MC’s side and I felt that that’s just what Yoshimoto needed in his character. The “want” or “need” to stay by MC’s side despite the risks he was taking. In a way Mitsuhide already did his “sacrifical lamb” character but better; knowing they were going down as the villain for a better cause but still longing to be close to MC despite of it.

(Just to be clear, yes they did confess their feelings later on in the route but he kept being stubborn about going through his original plan anyway.)

In addition to this there were several details in the story that just seemed odd or annoyingly repetitive. The whole route seemed to focus on what is Yoshimoto thinking? Like no one could figure this out not even our genius foxy Mitsuhide and it was pretty annoying as a reader cause I could tell from the onset what sort of plan he was going for. Even more frustrating was MC’s resolution to support the decision Yoshimoto was making because that is the only way she felt she could support him. I felt that in a way that Yoshimoto’s MC was pretty meek and powerless because she could not make him realize he was doing wrong in the way he chose to “protect” what he cares for the most. It was only towards the end when things did not go as planned, that he took risks and finally broke through his “cage.” (Which just goes to show that his original plan was never going to work anyway.)

I think this is actually the second route (after Motonari) that I don’t like in the Ikemen Sengoku series. Yoshimoto wasn’t thrash like Motonari, but he just lacked in the romance department. I wished they would of played more with his seductive persona like in his sub stories so I could really justify MC’s adorations. It really is a disappointment given that they really seemed like soulmates with their love of art/ dislike of violence/ loss of a home in common. Overall, his route is a nope from me.

Revisiting Motonari’s Route/Rant

I know this is late but better late than never?

Let’s just get on with it.

Ok so after reading Motonari’s route in English, I felt that I needed to revisit my opinion on his route after getting a better understanding on some text lines.

First let’s start with something I got wrong.

Initially, I felt confused as to why Motonari felt the need to capture MC in the beginning and later have her sold off the auction. Like why do the auction if your men already have possession of her? After restarting the route, I felt that they were only including this in order to really drive the point of “possession” and “ capture” ala KBTBB style. However, It was here that they clarified that Motonari was initially going to play the “savior” role to get MC and the Oda army to trust him. However, plan was ruined when he couldn’t stand MC babbling about how Nobunaga was great and he was going to bring peace to Japan.

So yes, I got this part wrong, but to be fair it was fairly obvious that he was Motonari when he showed in his regular outfit at the auction smiling. How did MC think it was not suspicious that he showed up as she was about to be sold in to slavery to “save” her?

Second, I need to give MC credit on how initially she had some sense of reason and was actually smart in being close to Motonari to discover his plans and possible thwart them. Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer right? Did she ever have a chance of being successful? No, but we already know from other MLs route that she can’t succeed in that era by herself. At least she initially tried to escape from his grasp when he was asleep or by calling out Keiji when she was trapped with Kicho.

Unfortunately, things take a nosedive from here. MC’s good sense had her convinced that Motonari was this poor child that was wronged by the world and just needed someone to believe and be loyal to him. Don’t get me wrong, his backstory was sad and definitely gives insight as to how he ended up as a misanthropic asshole. However, I believe that true love cannot come out of pity. MC really believed in both his endings that unconditionally loving him will cure him of his past traumas.

In addition, I can’t believe she managed to overlook his actions to find the guy attractive in the first place. I mean this guy made so many crude comments at her like asking her “if she wanted to ride his horse”, offering her as a plaything to Kicho (this part was so bad that I believe the writers had to backtrack in his POV to make it so that he didn’t really mean his comment), and constantly calling her his property and slave. I guess this MC is a masochistic cause she ended up liking all the condescending statements about her with minimalsigns that the guy actually liked her.

Speaking of his POV, I believe that knowing what he was thinking actually made his character even worse. We all know that LIs tend to have a wrong impression on who MC is in the beginning of their routes, but this guy straight up thought that she was a slut because so many people in the Nobunaga clan liked her. Every other thought expressed was him trying to get closer to his goal of having the world burn.

I could really rant about so many other things in his route, but I won’t because frankly I’m tired and I don’t want to delay this post anymore. If you follow me, you know that my opinion changed very little from my first impression. I think this was the first time that I hated having to read a LI’s route and I delayed so much in completing both endings. The only time I was happy was when I was rereading common route, and I could just tap at my screen to skip through everything.

I guess to end on a good note, we finally got his character over with and we only have Ranmaru, Kanetsugu, Kichou, and Yoshimoto routes left. (Yoshi just recently got announced yaaay!)

Motonari Route

You know, as much as Hideyoshi’s route wasn’t my cup of tea nor is he my favorite character I absolutely LOVED this moment from him. This is how a normal, sane person reacts to someone who refers to your friend as property and is visibly proud that he put her in chains . I wish he could of gotten a good punch in like he did with Mitsuhide.

On a side note, I had a flashback on when I first read his route in JPN version and just pretty much begging MC to wake the f*** up from this “relationship” and just fall in love with someone else. Like literally ANYONE else, run away to Keiji, Hideyoshi, or even Kicho for christ’s sake.

My Ramblings Midway through Motonari’s route

I’ve been quietly reading Motonari’s route all this time, and every chapter I find it such a chore to read. I would normally post a couple of screens hots on some parts I liked but I think I will just do a basic summary of what I thought when I finish. I feel like some things got clarified in the English translation that definitely changed my mindset (especially in the beginning) but overall I’m at the point where I hate MC because she’s going through “I fell in love with you and I find you so hot ” phase and my eyes are rolling so far back into the back of my head .

I’m at the point in the story where it’s pretty much confirming my original thoughts.

Can’t believe that he got fourth place in the rankings either, I guess Western players find his personality more palatable…

Oh gosh, time to relive this thrashy route already. This is definitely going to be on my priority list. Let’s see if there’s some double entendre that I did not get in the original.

My thoughts after finishing Keiji Maeda’s Route

Pros:

  • Strong MC
  • Learns how to defend herself
  • Both Keiji and MC grow with each other
  • No overly frustrating romance tropes
  • Lots of hanky panky if you choose premium for the challenges
  • Keiji is well written and believable

Cons:

  • Both endings were dissapointing
  • I felt that there was a lot of last minute angst and conflict introduced in the last arc
  • Motonari came back to haunt me about kidnapping MC in the dramatic route and
  • Keiji and MC randomly decided to move in with Kenshin in Romantic?

Overall:

I really like Keiji’s route and I would recommend to anyone looking forward to reading his route whenever it comes out in English. Our MC came back from being a pushover in Motonari’s route and she started taking names and kicking ass. Keiji was a nice mix of being mean but loving and his assertiveness in getting MC to recognize that they liked each other was hot.

The only thing I feel is that their character and growth was spoiled by the endings. The sudden “twist” was really unnecessary imo and was written and taken away in a matter of two chapters which is cheap in my opinion. They could of done something more along the line of their already established growth which was 10/10 until this.

With all that being said I give his route a solid final score of 9/10.

Maeda Keiji’s MC

Spoilers

Once I started getting used to the weight of the spear I wrapped up my training and headed back to my room. 

Following Keiji’s instructions, I continued training alone. 

That’s when I realized the condition that my hands were in. They felt tight and sore and looked really red.

(I was so focused on my training that I didn’t notice that I hurt the joints in my hand from using too much force.)

When I started opening and closing them, my joints made a cracking sound. 

As I started walking through the garden holding my hands, I saw a person with a flashy appearance approaching me. 

________________________________________________________________

I went in to the dojo at night to do some more training. As I was about to grab a spear I saw Keiji walk in the room. 

I quickly changed my mind and grabbed a rag from the floor to pretend that I was cleaning up. 

(Hnn!)

However, a dull pain shot through my hand causing me to drop the rag. 

(I should grab it again)

I tried to pick it up again but then…

I started feeling a tingly sensation and an even further duller pain throughout my hand. 

(This is a serious lesion. I can’t train until it heals in one or two days.)

When I realized this, I felt an even more intense pain that I started seeing white in my vision. 

Unpleasant thoughts starting going through my mind as I realized I wouldn’t be able to hold a needle at this rate. I wouldn’t be able to sew the clothes I really wanted to make. 

Keiji

“What are you doing?”

“Do you think that because you don’t rely on others that makes you a virtuous person?”

“Do you like training so hard to the point of hurting yourself?”

He said it all without hesitation. My feelings of “I have to work hard” were exposed by him. 

(I know. I know I’m doing all of this for my own sense of self-satisfaction.)

MC

“Still, you don’t have to say such terrible things.” 

“Weren’t you the one that said that we have to prepared for battle at anytime?”

“That’s why I’ve been training so much. To sharpen not only my battle skills but also my mind. I want to be stronger.”

Keiji

“Oh yes, I can see that you are honing your skills as an idiot as well.“

_______________________________________________________________

After facing some Maeda clan members, Keiji is knocked down and unconscious. 

Holding Keiji’s body, I gently lay him down on the ground. 

I grabbed Keiji’s spear and pointed it towards the Maeda clan members.

Maeda member #1

“…..!”

The vassals were momentarily surprised and stunned, but also immediately started laughing

Maeda member #2

“What are you going to do now, protect Keiji?” 

Maeda member #3

“What can a slut like you even do with a spear?”

Ignoring their hecklings, I remembered Keiji’s training. 

(Right now they are off-guard. If I follow Keiji’s teaching, I should be able to get the upper hand here.)

(Hold the spear steady and use your whole body to…Poke them!)

Maeda members

“Hu-…!?”

______________________________________________________________

For those of you that were wondering this is some of the moments that made me really love MC in Keiji’s route. She just seems like someone who is trying so hard and is very brave. Not to mention she is a badass by actually protecting Keiji when he is unconscious. I couldn’t help but compare her to Motonari’s MC who just let herself be dragged around by a psycho lol. It looks like the writers took everything that I hated from Motonari’s MC and flipped it on its head. 

Maeda Keiji Main Story

Mild spoilers ahead:

Background: Keiji volunteered MC to play the role of Murasaki, a noblewoman who composed what is now know as The Tale of Genji, a famous novel. They are doing this because Keiji was asked by his master to bring a lady to his party in Sakai. While they are there, Keiji plans to look for Kichou. 

Keiji: “You are overwhelmingly lacking in the princess department.”

“In order to play the role of Murasaki, you are going to need some training.*”

“Murasaki was a brave and graceful noble lady. Meaning, everything that you are lacking.”

MC (frustrated): (He said it two times already!…)

MC: “In that case, you didn’t have to volunteer me for the role so forcibly.”

Keiji: “Umm”

MC: (Hm?)

Keiji seemed stunned by my response. 

Keiji: “Was I too forceful?”

MC: “Yes, even more so than usual.”

(……Maybe he didn’t realized it at the time?)

“In any case, thank you for inviting me anyway. I do enjoy being taught by you.”

Keiji: “Is that so?”

(Umm why is Keiji…looking so shy?)

(I don’t know why he is looking like this, but it looks like I was able to tease him back after getting played by him all this time)
