Huuuh, I didn't think Kaoru would refuse the chance to beat someone up..

[ Such a high opinion of his not!descendant here, huh. But if Kaoru is being like this in front of Soujirou, then he might as well take every single chance he can get today to be able to speak his mind instead of having to hold most of these things in to preserve Kaoru's image around most of the people here. ]

Why is that, I wonder.. is it really just since he wants to be contrary? Or.. [ He puts a finger on his cheek, making a "hmmm" sort of sound. ] Could it be that Kaoru's scared of losing..?
