Chapter 87: Duel with the Sis-con Samurai

Plot
Erwin is training with Haruka while Wend is watching. Erwin has fallen for Haruka, but she hasn't noticed yet. During the training she compliments him on his improvement. Erwin wants a katana, so Wend supplies the blacksmith, Kanesada the 87th, with metal he has already refined. The blacksmith is impressed with the metal and agrees to accept the metal for the cost of making the swords. Later, Erwin wants to have Haruka follow him back to the Baumeister Earldom once the civil war is over and take her as his head wife. She doesn't realize that he wants her as a wife and thinks he just wants her to accompany him. He brother, Takeomi, will only agree if he can be defeated in a dual. Erwin knows he can't beat him but Takeomi allows Wend to fight in Erwin's stead. Wend defeats him and Takeomi let him know that he wanted to make sure Wend was strong enough to protect Haruka. Wend asks him if Haruka know that Erwin wants to marry her and to which he responds I only cared if you could protect her that's not my concern. Wend tells him to make sure she understands that about the marriage, but Takeomi doesn't want to bring this up with her. In the end Wend forces him to tell Haruka.
