“I do not want any guys to hit on me. Innocent flirting, fine -- it does wonders for my confidence -- but not douchebags.”

“We're guys. I punched him, he hit me back, and then everything was fine. We went out for ice cream after.”

“No, it was not the money that I valued—what I wanted was to make all this mob of Heintzes, hotel proprietors, and fine ladies of Baden talk about me, recount my story, wonder at me, extol my doings, and worship my winnings.”

“Random Guy: You can't snowboard? Want me to teach you?Haruna: Huh?Random Guy: You here with your friends? I am too, but do you want to board together?Haruna: What? Could you be...hitting on me?Random Guy: Haha. That's...an extremely direct way to put it, but yes, I'm hitting on you.Haruna: Wait, I know. Is it that you have some kind of secret grudge against Komiyama Yoh?Random Guy: Who?Haruna: Or you're going to sell me, or take my money, or something?Random Guy: Uh...No...Haruna: You mean you're purely trying to pick me up?Random Guy: Yes, purely...Haruna: Yoh! I got hit on!Random Guy: Oh, so your boyfriends here. Please excuse me.Haruna: He was trying to pick me up! Isn't that incredible!Yoh: It's not incredible!! Don't get picked up!!Haruna: This is the first time that I've been hit on in my entire life!Yoh: Don't get hit on up here! What are you so happy about?Haruna: I'm not happy. It's more like... surprised?Yoh: You should've hurried up and said no right away!Haruna: Well, it was my first time getting hit on, so I'd never had to say no before, so I didn't know what to do and...Yoh: In that situation, just hit the guy!Hatuna: Whaaaat? With my fist?Yoh: With your fist! Or just slap him!Haruna: Understood. I'll hit them!”

“Maybe there was no such thing as innocent flirting.”

“But ... but what if I hit you?”A snort. “You’re not going to hit me.”“How do you know?” I bristled at his amused tone. “I could hit you. Even master swordsmen make mistakes. I could get a lucky shot, or you might not see me coming. I don’t want to hurt you.”He favored me with another patient look. “And how much experience do you have with swords and weapons in general?” “Um.” I glanced down at the saber in my hand. “Thirty seconds?”He smiled, that calm, irritatingly confident smirk. “You’re not going to hit me.”
