By the time the three of them left the pool, the sun was beginning to set. They hadn’t eaten anything since morning, so they decided to grab dinner in the city before returning to their dorms. Ikki asked the two girls if there was anything they wanted to eat, but since neither was in the mood for anything specific, he took them to a nearby family restaurant.

Fortunately, all three of them were able to find something they liked on the menu. Ikki ordered a large kitsune udon, Ayase picked the salmon meal set, and Stella got three orders of steak and four orders of grilled vegetables.

“Y-You sure can eat a lot, Vermilion-san,” Ayase said, looking at the seven plates in front of Stella.

“Look, I need to eat this much or I won’t have enough energy,” Stella replied a little defensively. She didn’t stop eating, though.

“I’m amazed you’re still so thin despite how much you eat. It doesn’t make any sense.”

Ayase watched on in awe as Stella took bite after bite, wolfing down her food with surprising speed. In truth, she did need that many calories to keep her highly toned body running at peak performance.

After a few minutes Ayase smiled and said, “You know, you don’t really feel like a princess, Vermillion-san.”

“Munch munch. What’s that supposed to mean?”

“I don’t mean that in a bad way. It’s just, you’re very easy to talk to, and the way you eat is just like us. I thought royalty would have fancy table manners or something.”

“I have actually learned how to eat properly in a formal setting, but this is just a regular restaurant.”

Stella glanced around the restaurant. It was dinnertime, so the place was fairly packed. The sound of cutlery clacking against dishes, waiters taking and delivering orders, and children laughing or whining or pouting filled the air. As Stella had said, this was a casual restaurant where you didn’t particularly need to eat politely. If anything, using table manners meant for a formal setting would have just made her stand out here.

“Truly mastering a skill means knowing the right time and place to use it. That applies to both table manners and swordsmanship,” she explained.

“Ha ha, you got me there.” Ayase smiled despite the fact that Stella had pointed out her immaturity. “I learned a lot today. No, over the past few days. Ever since I started training with all of you, I’ve grown so much. I’m still not strong enough to use the technique my dad passed down to me, but I feel like I’ve gotten a lot closer to his level. Thank you so much for everything, Kurogane-kun.”

“It’s all thanks to your own hard work, Ayatsuji-san. The insights I gave you are things you would have realized on your own eventually, and I’m sure you’d be able to use your father’s final technique even without my help. I just gave you a little push is all.”

“Perhaps, but it’s important that I learned all of this now rather than later.”

“Because the selection matches are going on right now?”

“Yes.
