Chapter 24: The Fate of the Girl Defeated in Battle
When Raphiel heard Nagi's rejection, she felt increasingly dissatisfied.
Raphiel approached Hitori and said with a sweet smile on her face, "Goto-san, can you give Nanaba-san to me? I really want to challenge him."
Hitori hesitated a bit, she looked at the racket in her hand and then at Nagi, wondering if she should lend it to Raphiel.
"Goto-san, you can refuse, it's okay." Nagi reassured her.
Seeing a little hesitation, Raphiel added another sentence. "Goto-san! Please!!"
As she said this, she clasped her hands together and looked at her with sad eyes.
Hitori finally gave in!
She handed the racket to Raphiel.
Raphiel took the racket, swung it towards Nagi proudly, and said provocatively, "Nanaba-kun, this way you can fight me."
Nagi looked at her and shrugged helplessly, "Sure, because you really want to challenge me, let's start."
The game began.
Raphiel served first.
"Nanaba-kun, be careful." Raphiel's smile changed slightly.
She aimed at Nagi's face and sent the ball with all her strength.
When Nagi saw the ball coming, he was surprised and quickly ducked to the side.
"Haha, it seems that Nanaba-kun is not skilled in various things." Taunted Raphiel.
Nagi didn't respond, but a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
He then served, but Raphiel deliberately let the point pass.
Raphiel served again, deliberately hitting the ball towards Nagi's lower body.
Nagi had to bend down to avoid it, but the ball still grazed his cheek.
"Nanaba-san! Are you okay?!" Hitori, watching from the sidelines, shouted anxiously.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
When Raphiel saw this, she was secretly pleased. She decided to continue using this tactic, making Nagi unable to fight back.
So, she deliberately let it slip.
Raphiel served the ball again and deliberately hit Nagi's lower body.
However, Nagi countered by hitting the ball back hard towards her.
Raphiel didn't expect the other party to retaliate like this, she didn't have time to dodge, and the racket handle was hit hard by the ball. Then the object flew away from her hand.
"Ah!" Raphiel screamed in pain.
"Shiraha-san, don't be dazed, the racket will cry." Nagi looked at her anxiously, but he couldn't shut his mouth.
"Nanaba-kun, tit for tat."
(Nanaba Nagi, you forced me!)
(Originally I planned to forbid you from going to school tomorrow, but now you better be able to withstand my attacks.)
Raphiel didn't accidentally release ball, but hit Nagi's body with each strike.
They began a fierce confrontation. However, Raphiel's tactics clearly had little effect.
Nagi slowly gained the upper hand with his extraordinary skills and experience.
As Raphiel saw this, she felt a little panicked. She knew that her tactics were no longer a threat to him.
So she decided to take desperate action and launch a final attack with all her might.
However, Nagi didn't give her this chance. With his accurate judgment and quick response, he successfully neutralized Raphiel's attack. Finally, he made a beautiful strong shot, and the ball quickly passed Raphiel's cheek.
In the end, the ball went into the goal, ending the match.
"I win." Nagi looked at her with a smile.
"Nanaba-kun... Drink water..." Hitori ran to her side, turning to Raphiel and giving her water.
"Thank you."
Raphiel's legs on the opposite side trembled slightly, and she fell to the ground.
Very scary...
Raphiel couldn't believe she was defeated by Nagi, and she couldn't believe her legs were shaking so much she couldn't stand.
She always believed in herself and believed she was strong enough to face any challenge. After all, Gabriel and Satania can only be owned by the strong.
(Gabriel: Am I your pet?)
She wanted to challenge again, but she was afraid of failing again. She began to doubt her own strength and confidence, and didn't know what to do.
"So scary..." She kept repeating this sentence, fear and anxiety growing stronger in her heart.
She didn't dare to look at Nagi again, and she didn't dare to think about this competition anymore. She just wanted to find a place to hide and feel safer.
At that moment, the sunlight shining on her was blocked by a figure, namely Nanaba Nagi.
His figure looked very tall and straight under the sunlight. The sunlight radiated from his back, illuminating his whole body with golden light.
His bangs were slightly wet, maybe from intense exercise, and some of them stuck to his forehead, but it didn't affect his handsomeness.
His fine hair shimmered under the sunlight, as if coated with a layer of metallic sheen. His pair of red pupils made her fall in love for a moment.
His smile was so bright and warm, making people feel very calm and comfortable.
"Shiraha-san, you played very well. I can't wait to compete with you again next time." After saying that, Nagi reached out his hand.
Raphiel hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached out her hand and held his hand.
Nagi pulled her from the ground with a strong pull.
Raphiel staggered a bit, and Nagi held her shoulder to help her stand firmly.
"I got a little too excited earlier, are you okay?" Nagi was so happy that he swung his legs.
Raphiel shook her head and said embarrassedly, "I'm okay. It was my fault just now. I'm really sorry..."
Nagi was stunned for a moment, his smile faded, and he released his hand, and Raphiel slowly stood up.
Raphiel looked at Nagi's shoes and said a little desperately, "Gab and Satania belong to you."
"They are free and are good friends of both you and me. Why should they be exclusive?" Nagi handed her a bottle of water.
"Drink water, don't worry, I didn't say anything to-"
Before he finished speaking, Raphiel took the water bottle and drank it.
She looked at him, her eyes shining with determination.
"Thank you, Nagi-kun." She said sincerely, "Can I be your friend too?"
"In that case, I have to think about it. Besides, your hits were too hard."
"But I really want to be close with Nagi-kun. To convey my apology, Nagi-kun, please make a request to me. Anything is fine."
"In that case, please, Raphiel-san, please try not to bully Satania as much as possible in the future."
"Ah~ this request is outrageous!!"
"I think so too."
Raphiel was very intriguing. When she was around, the three girls in the class showed a different side than before.
From now on, Nagi should bring her to Gabriel and Satania more often, it would be nice if he could have more fun.
His fun-loving attribute is revealed.
Seeing Raphiel naturally calling Nagi's name, Hitori pondered.
When can she call Nanaba-san, Nagi-kun?
