Chapter 217: Big Breasts are Justice..
About eight meters away in the open space, stood a tall, well-built young man with brown tousled hair.
As the young man approached slowly, Tsushima Rina's impatience gradually faded into a gentle smile.
Seeing the young man stop two meters in front of her, she flipped her hair at her temple and greeted him:
"Hi~ handsome, remember me?"
"Yeah, I remember."
Scanning the well-made-up young woman before him, Sasaki slowly nodded.
If it were just the face, he might not have recognized her.
After all, the first time they met, her makeup was so heavy that even a dog would shake its head at it.
But this time, her light makeup fully revealed her beautiful features.
The difference, if rated by game levels, would be between 'D' and 'A'.
Sasaki recognized her mainly because her hairstyle, accessories, and eye color were the same as when they last met.
Hearing him say he remembered her, Tsushima Rina, with a smile on her lips, stepped forward and extended her hand:
"Handsome, let's get acquainted. My name's Tsushima Rina, just Rina is fine, from class 2e."
After saying that, as if afraid that she wouldn't be given face in front of her own girls, she quickly added:
"Anyway, we used to sit on the same bench, so you wouldn't just leave me hanging, right handsome?"
Hearing her words, Sasaki did not answer directly but glanced sideways at Haruno Ayato, who was leaning against the wall,
And only after seeing no dirt or injuries on him, did he took her hand and introduced himself:
"Sasaki Fuyumi, second year, class B."
Since she was staring at his face the whole time, Rina also noticed his eyes tilted and, fearing he might think she had beaten Haruno Ayato, she quickly explained:
"We haven't done anything to him, we just wanted to ask him a few questions."
"Questions?"
"Yes, I could ask you the same questions, Fuyumi, would you like to hear them?"
Using his name quite casually,
Tsushima Rina did not let go of their intertwined hands; instead, she smoothly hooked her arm through his.
Feeling the considerable softness pressing against his arm, Sasaki looked into her smiling lavender eyes and nodded:
"Go ahead and ask."
"First question, do you think I'm pretty?"
Saying this, the girl released Sasaki's arm, stepped back a bit, and struck a pose with one hand on her hip.
Hmm… although his first impression of this girl named Tsushima wasn't great.
That was solely because her makeup was too heavy the first time, obscuring her features.
And then there was the tone she used last time.
But when heavy makeup turned into light makeup,
And her pretentious tone changed into a clear, pleasant youthful voice, her overall image was indeed commendable.
Her lavender hair was styled into an asymmetrical ponytail that draped over her right shoulder, sparkling white circular earrings adorned her ears, and her sharp features were enhanced by light makeup, making her exceptionally stunning.
Her figure under the uniform, although not as eye-catching as the idiot Chifuyu and others,
Was far superior to ordinary girls.
Plus, her specially tailored skirt perfectly showcased her long, shapely, fair legs.
This made her look like a quite remarkable beauty.
After taking a serious look at her, Sasaki gave his affirmation.
"Very pretty."
Although the compliment was simple, his gaze was far more sincere than his words.
So, Tsushima Rina chuckled and posed her second question.
"So, Fuyumi, would you want me to be your girlfriend?"
?
You should ask this question somewhere privately..
Glancing at Haruno Ayato,, who was looking their way, Sasaki said emotionlessly:
"I already have someone I like."
Hearing his tone sound genuine, Tsushima Rina dropped her hand from her hip and frowned:
"Is she prettier than me?"
"She has a bigger chest."
"…"
Taking a deep breath, the girl straightened up and walked up to Sasaki, asking:
"Are you saying I have small breasts?"
"No, I didn't mean that, you're big, but she's bigger."
"…"
You can't speak properly, can you?
Rejected with such an irrefutable reason,
Tsushima Rina was infuriated, her cheeks flushed red, her chest heaving with anger as she glared at Sasaki, who remained calm, as if he was merely stating the facts.
"I dress better than her, I must look better!"
Knowing that saying nothing now would only make her seem impotent with rage,
Tsushima Rina gritted her teeth and started listing her advantages.
Acknowledging her knack for dressing, Sasaki nodded and said:
"But she has bigger breasts."
"My body proportions are great, my legs are long."
"But she has bigger breasts."
Unable to stand Sasaki fixating on this one point, Tsushima Rina frowned and scolded:
"Why do you only have breasts in your head? Can't you think of something else?"
"I'm only eighteen, what do you want me to think about, math problems?"
"But big breasts aren't everything."
"But big breasts are justice!"
With class about to start and not wanting to argue about this topic any longer, Sasaki asked:
"What did you drag my classmate here for?"
Since he only said that he someone he liked, but did not say that he has a girlfriend, Tsushima Rina, who still unwilling to give up, did not show any signs of displeasure, and responded:
"Mainly to ask him for your LINE number, and also for some protection money."
"What have you protected him from?"
Hearing his tone, she assumed they were mistaken as typical thugs who take money without offering protection.
Tsushima Rina frowned and explained:
"You know what he looks like, with his soft, sissy appearance, he's prettier than most girls in a dress. Do you think he could stand here peacefully without someone protecting him?"
Glancing sideways at the boy, who stood at the corner, his presence making the surrounding tough girls mere backdrops.
"Ayato, they haven't hit you, have they?"
Facing the gazes of the hot girls around him, Haruno Ayato pursed his lips and shook his head with some embarrassment.
Ayato was aware of his own strength.
When Sasaki was around, there was no need for him to lie.
So after he nodded, Sasaki turned to Tsushima Rina with a puzzled question:
"If it's just about protecting him, then you shouldn't be returning the money to him, right?"
With a puzzled frown, the girl didn't understand why he would ask that.
"Why would we give him the money?"
"That's what we're entitled to."
"But Ayato told me earlier…"
.
.
.
Hearing from Sasaki that there was also the matter of returning money to Haruno Ayato.
Tsushima Rina was momentarily stunned, then turned to look at the blonde girl standing beside the girl.
"Kurihana, this was your doing, wasn't it?"
As Tsushima Rina turned her head, Sasaki also shifted his gaze to the girl who, if referred to in professional terms, would be called a 'gyaru' girl.
The girl's appearance was only average, her blonde hair... perhaps a popular style among gyaru girls, seemed messily tied at the back of her head in Sasaki's view.
Average height.
Body shape… below average.
Nothing noteworthy.
Grade: 'D'
Um.. perfect for a side character.
Called out by the leader, Kurihana was flustered and scrambled to explain:
"Sister Tsushima, I mean, it wasn't, listen to my explanation…"
Seeing her as if afraid of being blamed, Tsushima Rina rolled her eyes and said nonchalantly:
"Whatever you do with your own money, even if you feed it to dogs, it's none of my business. Why are you so nervous?"
"Speaking of which, I noticed you've been really concerned about him. Do you like him?"
Tsushima Rina's teasing words made all the surrounding gyaru girls focus on the blonde girl, all looking at her with mocking eyes and jesting.
"Eh? I didn't expect Jasmine-chan to be such a strong personality, to actually like this type of guy, huh."
"Yeah, yeah, is this like a case of opposites attract? Haha~"
…
...
Listening to their teasing, Kurihana Jasmine's face turned red and she frantically waved her hands, hurriedly explaining:
"No, no, it's not like that. I helped him because he had helped me before, it's not that I like him."
"You all misunderstood."
The girls didn't see any shyness on the faces of their companion, just embarrassment and panic.
So, the surrounding gyaru girls, skilled at reading the room, naturally shifted the topic elsewhere upon realizing their misunderstanding, no longer discussing the matter.
With her companions' teasing subsiding, Kurihana Jasmine's embarrassment slowly faded, and somewhat awkwardly, she scratched her cheek while looking at Haruno Ayato:
"Do you still remember…"
Listening to the story of the blonde girl in front of him, the latter understood why she had secretly helped him.
The reason she helped him was not strictly because he had helped her, but because Sister Kasumi had helped her.
The incident she referred to had occurred about a year ago, at the beginning of their first year of high school.
Sister Kasumi had taken him to the school convenience store to buy something when they encountered the girl who had lost her wallet.
Since he was just a bystander, he didn't remember the details very well.
However, the main event was that the blonde girl had bought something and realized at the checkout that she had lost her wallet, and then Sister Kasumi had helped her pay.
As he had been standing with Sister Kasumi at the time, the blonde girl probably remembered him, and that's why she had helped him...
Now knowing the whole story, Haruno Ayato awkwardly waved his hand:
"Well, although I was standing with Sister Kasumi at the time, I didn't really help... Anyway, thanks for your help recently."
"It's me who should be thankful for Haruno-senpai's help. Since you're her brother, it was only right for me to help out as much as I could, haha."
While he was silently watching them bow and thank each other, Sasaki suddenly heard a camera shutter sound 'click'.
Turning his head, it was Tsushima Rina holding her phone, taking a picture of him.
Confident in his own looks and as a guy, he wasn't particularly sensitive about having his photo taken, so he did not ask her to delete the photo, but instead asked with curiosity:
"Is there really anything worth taking a photo of?"
"Collecting handsome guys' photos is my hobby."
Tapping on the phone screen, and saving the photo, Tsushima Rina held up her phone to Sasaki:
"Let's exchange contact info, so we can keep in touch."
"I have someone I like."
He emphasized this once more as he pulled out his phone from his pocket.
"I got it, I got it~"
Hearing him mention this again, the girl couldn't help but snicker softly, clearly still bothered by his previous comments about her chest.
After adding each other as friends, she glanced at the time.
Sasaki, seeing that the thanks were over and noticing the awkwardness in Haruno Ayato, reminded him:
"We have class in two minutes."
His reminder broke the silent atmosphere between them.
Haruno Ayato glanced at the gyaru girls behind the blonde girl, who were huddled together playing with their phones, and waved to them:
"I need to go to class now."
"Yeah."
Since the one she wanted to thank wasn't himself, and he had nothing much to say to her, Ayato quickly moved to Sasaki's side.
"Shall we head back to class now?"
"Yeah."
As he was about to turn and leave, Sasaki noticed that Tsushima Rina had no intention of going back to class and asked:
"Aren't you going to class?"
"If it's class E, I remember..."
"Right, we'd definitely be late if we go now, plus I'm not in a good mood, so I'm not going."
"Let's go have some fun outside!"
Her last sentence was directed at the gyaru girls behind her.
Hearing that the leader wasn't planning to attend class, the gyaru girls didn't show the usual unease of skipping class; instead, they cheered and eagerly followed Tsushima Rina towards the school gate.
As he watched them head towards the gate, Sasaki turned to the boy and nodded.
"Let's go back to class."
"Yeah."
"Sasaki-kun…"
"Hmm?"
"Thank you."
In response to his gratitude, Sasaki smiled, "I promised Sister Kasumi to look after you at school. You should thank her; she's really worried about you."
"I know…"
He knew how much Sister Kasumi had done for him.
That's also why he wanted her to be happy.
He wasn't able to protect Sister Kasumi well himself, so he needed to find someone who could.
Fortunately, he had found someone.
And that person had just openly expressed his liking for Sister Kasumi in front of him.
Was he hinting that he should pass a message to Sister Kasumi?
I understand you, Sasaki-kun, I get you!'
"Sasaki-kun…"
"Hmm?"
"I'll make sure the message gets through."
