章 218: She has a boyfriend..
Turning his head, Sasaki saw the boy patting his chest, promising solemnly.
Looking at him like this, he thought for a moment, and then realized that Ayato had misunderstood his earlier words.
But he didn't intend to correct him.
A free assist, why not take it...
So, he just smiled gently at him, choosing not to verbally respond.
.
.
Sasaki and Haruno Ayato quickly made their way back to the classroom.
And just as they sat down, the bell for class rang.
The first period was math, taught by Kisaragi Miyuki.
Though her lectures were somewhat dull, she was quite a sight, which made up for it.
With it being early in the morning, most students were quite alert, so few were sleeping at their desks during the first period.
For Sasaki, the only thing worth an extra glance was the empty seat of Oga Masaru, not far from the seat of Shinomiya Natsuha.
Now, she probably had a lot in common with Kirishima...
Idly thinking, Sasaki exchanged glances with the girl, who occasionally looked back, and soon it was time for the big break between the second period.
Chatting with Ayato, the two planned to head to the restroom and then to the vending machine on the first floor to buy a drink.
However, just as Sasaki stepped out of the classroom, he heard a soft inquiry coming from the next class.
"Excuse me, is this student in this class?"
"This person... is Sasaki Fuyumi from the next class."
"Is it class B?"
"Yes, it is."
After taking a look at the male classmate who was looking for him, Sasaki put the phone in his hand into his trouser pocket thoughtfully.
Then, pretending to be unaware of anything, he continued walking towards the stairwell with Haruno Ayato, as the person turned back to look.
Seeing the person he was looking for, Tanabe quickly caught up with Sasaki who was about to go downstairs and asked:
"Hello, is this Sasaki-san?"
Following the voice, Sasaki glanced up and down at the ordinary-looking male classmate wearing a school uniform, and nodded slowly.
"Yes, I'm Sasaki. And you are...?"
"Ah, I'm Tanabe Toru from Class 2E, a member of the baseball club. I came to discuss something with you, Sasaki-san."
It seemed Tanabe was cautious about Sasaki potentially refusing to talk privately.
So, after introducing himself, he immediately mentioned his membership in the baseball club before stating his purpose.
This approach confirmed Sasaki's suspicions about his identity.
So, after asking Ayato to buy him some water, he followed Tanabe to a secluded spot behind the school building.
With limited time, Tanabe cut straight to the chase as soon as they reached a deserted area,
"You know Nanao Akane from our class, right?"
"Yes, we are friends," Sasaki answered directly.
After hearing what he said, Tanabe's ordinary face broke into an ambiguous smile as he asked, "And what does Sasaki think of Nanao-san?"
"There's no one else here, and we're both guys, so just speak frankly."
"Nanao-san is really pretty, has a nice figure, and is very gentle."
"You can be more honest,"
Although he already had some guesses about what he wanted to do, Sasaki frowned and asked, pretending not to understand.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm asking if you have feelings for Nanao-san, the kind where you'd want her as a girlfriend. She's one of the prettiest girls in school, and no guy wouldn't like her."
Not denying his feelings for the girl, Sasaki looked at Tanabe, who had a calm smile on his face, and asked:
"What's the point of asking that?"
"It's useful because only by knowing Sasaki-kun's thoughts and feelings about Nanao-san can I decide whether or not to help you," Tanabe explained, stepping closer to Sasaki with a persuasive tone, "Help you win over Nanao-san."
After saying this, fearing that Sasaki might not believe him, he continued, "You should know, I'm not only in the same class as Nanao-san but also in the same club. I can provide you with plenty of useful information about her."
"With this information, plus your friendship with her, you have a good good chance of winning her heart."
"Remember what they teach in our language classes: 'Know thyself, know thy enemy. A hundred battles, a hundred victories.'"
"Huh"
Sasaki chuckled and replied, "They also teach in class: 'No one wakes up early without reason.'"
"Why are you going out of your way to help me, Tanabe-san? What's in it for you?"
"What I want isn't important," The latter said, his smile unwavering as he pulled out his phone, showing Sasaki a photo of Nanao in a baseball uniform, looking vibrant and sweaty.
After ensuring that Sasaki saw the photo clearly, Tanabe continued, "The important thing is that Sasaki-kun now has the opportunity to hold this beauty in his arms and press her down on the bed and have her all to yourself."
"Of course I have my own goals, but what I want has nothing to do with you or Nanao-san, so they won't harm you."
"So don't worry, and don't be so wary of me."
Judging by the angle and clarity of the photo, Sasaki could tell it was taken from a distance, probably without her knowledge.
Well...as one would expect from the distance, the quality wasn't great; it was just enough to identify the girl by her hair and figure.
But for someone infatuated with Akane Nanao, this photo, along with Tanabe's words, might be quite tempting.
After all, this was an upright pursuit, and it won't cost you a thing to give it a try.
What if it works?
If it works out, then I'll have a beautiful girlfriend with hot figure.
For ordinary high school students, this was something they couldn't even dream of.
But this thing that was hard to dream of was now clearly before their eyes.
So, even though they knew that Tanabe had other intentions, it would not stop them from wanting to seduce the school beauty.
But to Sasaki, who knew Tanabe's purpose, what he said was like a fart,
Just making a noise.
In reality, nothing.
Because he didn't mention the most crucial point.
That Nanao Akane had a lover.
Everyone can shoot into an empty net.
'But how do you score a goal with a 'hidden' goalkeeper?
So, if he really did what Tanabe said, he didn't know if he could score a goal,
But he would definitely be used as a knife by this guy.
It has always been Sasaki who took advantage of others, so how could he be taken advantage of by others?
He would never allow such a thing to happen.
So, Sasaki took a few steps forward, looking directly into Tanabe's eyes with a smile and said,
"Tanabe-san, there's no one else here, you can be more honest."
"You want to help me get together with Nanao-san, but why didn't you mention that she already has a boyfriend?"
"Moreover, her boyfriend is the ace of your baseball team. Why didn't you mention that?"
Faced with Tanabe's astonished look and his open mouth ready to speak, Sasaki placed his hand on the boy's shoulder, pressing down any words he might have said, and continued,
"Don't pretend you didn't know~"
"As far as I'm aware, isn't it forbidden for members of the baseball club to be in relationships?
"You want Nanao-san to be with me so much, what's your motive?"
"Hmm… I don't play baseball, and I don't know much about Koshien, but from the loud chants you shout every day and the banners you hang in front of the baseball club, I know how important Koshien is to baseball players."
"So, is there a possibility that you want to use me to destroy the relationship between Nanao-san and her ace boyfriend so you can take his place?"
