Chapter 100 - Tsugumi: I'll take responsibility for my actions, I'll apologize myself

Shiraishi Shin curiously approached the two, reaching out to pat Chitoge Kirisaki's shoulder, and said, "Chitoge, it seems you two are having a lively chat. Aren't you going to introduce your relationship?"

"Who are you, kid? How dare you lay a hand on Ojou-sama!"

Tsugumi Seishirou, who was standing by, reacted with extreme speed. In the blink of an eye, she reached out, attempting to pin Shiraishi Shin against the wall.

However, Shiraishi Shin was no pushover; his body instinctively grabbed Tsugumi Seishirou's wrist, trying to subdue her.

However, Tsugumi Seishirou used a clever twist to break free, simultaneously kicking towards Shiraishi Shin's face.

Shiraishi Shin instantly squatted down and swept Tsugumi Seishirou's unsupported left calf. Just as she was about to fall, Tsugumi Seishirou put her hands on the ground, flipped backward, and stood up again.

Chitoge Kirisaki watched, dumbfounded. In just a brief moment, the two had exchanged several moves. Realizing what was happening, she quickly ran between them to intervene, saying,

"Wait, wait, it's a misunderstanding! Tsugumi, don't fight!"

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

"It looks like two handsome guys are fighting over a beautiful girl."

"Two men fighting over one woman? What a show."

"Isn't that Shiraishi Shin, the class president of Class 1? Doesn't he already have a girlfriend? Why would he be fighting?"

The fight between Shiraishi Shin and Tsugumi Seishirou made the students in the hallway and from various classrooms curiously look over.

"Ojou-sama?"

Tsugumi Seishirou was already preparing to draw her gun. As an elite assassin, she always carried a pistol and a dagger.

At the same time, she looked at Shiraishi Shin with a grave expression. His skills were impressive; his strength and speed were extraordinary, far greater than that of an average man, as she had been specially trained since she was a few years old.

However, this man in front of her possessed even greater strength and considerable skill, in no way inferior to her own. This raised Tsugumi Seishirou's vigilance to the extreme, fearing that he might be an assassin or agent sent by an enemy.

Seeing so many onlookers, Chitoge Kirisaki smiled apologetically at the other students and said,

"Ahahaha, it's nothing, nothing at all, just a misunderstanding. Everyone, please disperse, disperse."

"Shin, are you alright?"

"How are you? Are you hurt?"

Meanwhile, Shiina Mahiru and Alya nervously came to Shiraishi Shin's side, and the two also noticed each other, exchanging a glance.

Alya retreated two steps with a bitter feeling in her heart. Shiina Mahiru was his official girlfriend, so it was natural for her to worry about Shiraishi Shin. Her own actions, on the other hand, felt a bit awkward.

But she hadn't thought about anything just now, merely acting on instinct. Now, facing Shiina Mahiru's gaze, she felt somewhat at a loss.

Unexpectedly, Shiina Mahiru didn't mind at all. Instead, she nodded at Alya with a kind smile, which left Alya a little confused.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Shiraishi Shin patted Shiina Mahiru's hand on his arm, then glanced at Alya with a reassuring look. He then looked at the surrounding students and said,

"It's nothing, everyone can disperse. It was just a small misunderstanding."

Although the students were all very curious, since the main parties had said so, everyone stopped watching and dispersed, but gossip would certainly be inevitable.

Afterward, everyone went to the rooftop to avoid being watched again while talking. Originally, Alya hadn't planned to join, as it didn't concern her much, but Shiraishi Shin called her to come along.

"Ojou-sama, who exactly is this person? He's very strong; he might be sent by a hostile organization."

Tsugumi Seishirou dared not be careless. With such a master hidden beside the Young Lady, she feared Chitoge Kirisaki might be harmed.

"Ojou-sama?"

Shiina Mahiru and Alya, standing behind Shiraishi Shin, wondered. It seemed Chitoge Kirisaki's identity was not simple.

Shiina Mahiru had actually anticipated this, as the luxurious bento Chitoge Kirisaki brought was something ordinary people couldn't afford.

Chitoge Kirisaki gave a wry smile and said,

"Tsugumi, you misunderstood. He was already the class president before our group arrived. And last time, when I was almost captured by people from another organization, it was the class president who appeared, drove them away, and saved me."

"This..."

Tsugumi Seishirou hadn't expected this to be the case. So, she had misunderstood him then.

Chitoge Kirisaki looked at Shiraishi Shin, bowing apologetically to him, saying,

"Class President, Tsugumi only acted because she was concerned about me. Her way of life is quite different from ours, so she's always on high alert."

"Ojou-sama, I made a mistake. I'll take responsibility for my actions, I'll apologize myself."

Upon seeing this, Tsugumi Seishirou quickly helped Chitoge Kirisaki up, then bowed to Shiraishi Shin and said,

"I'm sorry, I overreacted just now. You can hit me or scold me as you please."

She hadn't yet adjusted her state of mind. Previously, she had been constantly on missions. As a mafia assassin, she was always in blood and fire, and especially after learning that the Young Lady, Chitoge Kirisaki, had been tracked by others and nearly harmed and abducted, her nerves were even more sensitive.

Yet, she never expected that the person she saw as an enemy was actually Chitoge Kirisaki's savior who prevented her kidnapping. She had even attacked him, which indeed deserved a beating.

Shiraishi Shin shrugged, saying nonchalantly,

"It's not that serious. Get up. You didn't hurt me. We just exchanged a few moves. And it's good that you're loyal to your master, but you're a bit too extreme. Acting without a second thought before understanding the situation, someone untrained would have really been captured by you on the spot."

"I was a bit too nervous."

It was just that the man had previously placed his hand on Chitoge Kirisaki's shoulder, a gesture she had mistakenly taken as Shiraishi Shin having ulterior motives, which led to her overreaction.

Chitoge Kirisaki also said,

"It's fine as long as the misunderstanding is cleared up, Tsugumi. You mustn't be so impulsive in the future."

"Yes, Ojou-sama."

Tsugumi Seishirou took the lesson to heart and stepped back a few paces.

"Shin, then Tsugumi and I will head back to the classroom."

Chitoge Kirisaki and Tsugumi Seishirou hadn't seen each other for a while and had a lot to talk about.

"Alright."

Shiraishi Shin nodded, especially glancing at Tsugumi Seishirou. Dressed as a man, perhaps not intentionally, but because men's clothing was more practical for action.

A bodyguard for Chitoge Kirisaki, the mafia princess? Her skills were quite impressive for her young age.

"Ojou-sama, is that man really just a class president, nothing more?"

As they walked down the stairs, Tsugumi Seishirou couldn't help but ask Chitoge Kirisaki.

"Of course, what else did you think he would be?"

Chitoge Kirisaki didn't mention that Shiraishi Shin was Kamen Rider. Although Shiro was her bodyguard and they had grown up together, this was Shiraishi Shin's secret, so she couldn't tell.

"His strength is very powerful, his moves are sharp, and his reactions are swift. He's even better than me," Tsugumi Seishirou said with a grave expression.

Of course, as an assassin, she would definitely be stronger when it came to killing, but in a direct confrontation, she wasn't confident she could win against him. It was like a warrior versus an assassin: the warrior wins in close combat, and the assassin wins in assassination.
