"Don't look at with such anger.
The angrier you get, the cuter you beco.
What if I accidentally fall for you? What would I do then?"
Hikigaya reached out and covered his eyes, acting as if he couldn't resist the other party's charm.
"You... you damn bastard..."
Kushida Kikyo stomped her feet in frustration. Even though she knew perfectly well he was just fooling her, she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in her heart.
"Hachiman, do you really like it?"
Kushida Kikyo blinked at him with a bashful expression.
Perfect! The ferocious Yaksha had transford back into a gentle little angel in a second.
"Enough!"
Saying such sappy things in public—aren't you two disgusted?"
Horikita Suzune couldn't resist stepping in to intervene.
'You bitch!!' Kushida Kikyo cursed her out in her head.
"Alright, with everyone watching, please both of you mind your public image."
Hikigaya secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This matter had finally been bluffed over.
Just then, a familiar voice ca from beside him.
"Um, Hikigaya-kun, could you return the mirror to ?"
'Why does it feel like they always show up as a package deal!'
Matsushita Chiaki was looking at him with a friendly face, and beside her were Karuizawa Kei and Sato Maya.
'Are you three conjoined triplets?'
Hikigaya felt speechless.
"Here."
Hikigaya's smooth talk ca naturally: "All three of you are naturally beautiful girls; you don't even need makeup."
"Really? Thanks~ Hee-hee!"
This ti, only Sato Maya was fooled.
"Hachiman-kun has turned into 'Frivolous-kun'." Karuizawa Kei curled her lip.
"Yeah, he's beco a veteran at wandering through flowers." Matsushita Chiaki's roast was as sharp as ever.
"No way, I'm a genuine, certified virgin." Hikigaya said those pathetic words with total confidence.
"Who do you plan to dedicate it to then?"
"This... isn't the role reversed?"
"Excuse . Let rephrase: which girl's first experience do you plan to take?"
"I think high schoolers should focus on their studies."
"Hmph~ That's what you say, but who knows if Hachiman is thinking about starting a harem in his heart?"
"No way. Stuff like that only happens in dreams."
"As expected, you really have thought about it!"
While Hikigaya was battling the group of girls...
The sports festival finally reached its climax. The last event was the all-grade relay race! It was also the grand finale of the sports festival.
The winning score was triple that of other events.
According to the current Red and White team scores, this battle would decide the final winner!
Class D continued to use their "minimum guarantee" tactic.
For the boys' group, they sent out Sudo Ken, Hirata Yousuke, Yukimura Teruhiko, and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka—a combination of two strong, one weak, and one "weak."
Speaking of which, even now, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was still playing the fool.
Hikigaya couldn't even be bothered to roast him anymore.
Strangely, most people in Class D hadn't noticed anything wrong.
The girls' group sent out Horikita Suzune, Onodera Kayano, Shinohara Satsuki, and Inogashira Kokoro—a standard two strong, two weak combo.
The race flow was as follows: For the three grades, 2 Red teams and 2 White teams would be randomly drawn to compete on the sa stage!
Boys' Group, First Match: Red Team: 1st Year Class A 2nd Year Class D VS White Team: 2nd Year Class A 3rd Year Class D.
The result was a victory for the White Team. As the lead runner for 2nd Year Class A, Nagumo Miyabi's performance was quite brilliant. He took the lead from the start, leaving other lanes far behind with overwhelming strength!
"Kyaa~ Nagumo-kun is so cool!" Enthusiastic cheers erupted from the stands.
"This blond guy is actually pretty popular."
Hikigaya's gaze searched the area where 2nd Year Class A was located and saw Asahina-senpai looking down at her phone, appearing completely uninterested in the field.
'Wait, he's at least your classmate. And supposedly they're childhood friends. How can she not pay attention at all?'
Ding~
Hikigaya looked down at his phone.
[Asahina-senpai: Is my kouhai participating in the relay?]
Hikigaya didn't reply. Looking at Nagumo Miyabi, he felt a strange sense of guilt. But that wasn't right.
Asahina-senpai and Nagumo Miyabi weren't in that kind of relationship to begin with. Then it was fine...
[Asahina-senpai: Read but no reply? What is my kouhai busy with?]
'Damn this chat app!
[Hikigaya: I'm not participating in the relay.]
[Asahina-senpai: That's perfect. You have to watch my match carefully and cheer on later!]
[Alright. As an ally of the Red Team, I will support Asahina-senpai.]
[That answer gets a very low score! It shouldn't be based on being allies, but support between friends!]
"Is Asahina-senpai trying to make things difficult for ?" Hikigaya smiled helplessly.
"Hachiman, what are you doing on your phone?"
"You couldn't be chatting with another woman, could you?"
Kushida Kikyo poked her head over. anwhile, the Karuizawa trio behind him also stood on their tiptoes to peek at the screen.
"I'm just randomly scrolling because I'm bored." Hikigaya put his phone away and stood up using an excuse: "I'm going to the restroom."
"I'll go with you!"
"Stop it. Restroom socializing doesn't apply to the opposite sex. You can ask Horikita to go with you."
"Huh? Why should I go with that bit—... anyway, I'm not going!"
Perhaps because the Karuizawa trio was present, Kushida Kikyo's language was sowhat restrained.
What Hikigaya really wanted to say was that there was no need to hide it. The fact that Kushida Kikyo and Horikita Suzune were arch-enemies was long-standing common knowledge.
Second match... Third match... Fourth match...
Finally, it was the senpai's turn to take the field. Red Team: 2nd Year Class A 1st Year Class D VS White Team: 2nd Year Class B 3rd Year Class C.
Hikigaya found a remote corner to watch the battle silently.
"Yo~ Kouhai, are you here to watch my match?
Sneaking over here to cheer on, you're quite cute~"
Kiryuin Fuuka, representing 2nd Year Class B, noticed Hikigaya in the corner imdiately.
"Um... if I said I wasn't here to see Kiryuin-senpai, would you believe ?" Hikigaya's gaze was odd.
"I wouldn't. My cute kouhai has no reason not to support the most beautiful person on this field—!"
Kiryuuin Fuuka was full of confidence.
Hikigaya was instantly covered in black lines. He wondered if this woman was actually Koenji's long-lost sibling.
"No need to be shy. It's only human nature that you would be infatuated with ."
Kiryuin Fuuka continued talking to herself. Hikigaya didn't know what to say, so he could only return an awkward but polite smile.
However, at that mont, the Red Team also entered the field.
"Yahallo~ Hikigaya-kouhai, you really did co to watch my match."
Asahina Nazuna waved at him with a face full of smiles.
