Chapter 14

Second Step is the fourteenth chapter of the Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan Manga.

Summary
Ikki brings along Stella and Ayase with him to a pool for Ayase's further training, while Stella continues to be conflicted over her love troubles. While training, Ayase suddenly approaches Stella asking if she is dating with Ikki which Stella initially denies due to their status problem but is eventually tricked by Ayase into revealing the truth. Taking advice from Ayase, she decides to leave Ikki and Stella alone which turn awkward due to both of them being unable to communicate properly leading to an embarrassing situation for the two when they ended up arguing out for everyone to listen.

The two of them then hides inside a barrier of water created by Stella using her magic as Ikki and Stella once again reaffirms their love for each other and finally kisses. After the training in the pool, Ikki, Stella and Ayase goes for a dinner where they are suddenly interrupted by a man who seems to know Ayase.
