"Just wait until we cripple Hikari first. After that, we can do whatever we want. Akane Nanao? I'll make sure she learns the consequences of betraying ."
"What's the matter, Shouya darling? Thinking about this makes you excited? Raise your hips higher."
"Yes, dear Master Togo!"
Covering her mouth, Akane Nanao suppressed her nausea as she eavesdropped on the conversation between the two.
She was on the verge of vomiting but forced herself to listen longer, fearing they might have so devious plot against Hikari.
After roughly grasping the content, she quickly left the baseball club.
She intended to inform Hikari about it to prevent him from falling into the hands of these disgusting individuals.
However, when Akane Nanao reached the classroom, the lesson had already started.
She had no choice but to take out her phone and send Hikari a ssage.
"Hikari-kun, I overheard sothing at the baseball club just now. Coach Togo and Katase Shouya are plotting against you."
"They plan to kidnap the girl beside you to threaten you into going to the back hill, and then…"
Akane Nanao recounted what she heard and sent the ssage to Hikari.
Feeling extrely anxious, Akane Nanao clutched her phone tightly, unable to focus on the class, afraid Hikari wouldn't see her ssage.
She even prepared herself to run to him before class ended if he didn't reply.
To her delight, Hikari replied quickly.
"I understand."
These simple four words brought imnse relief to Akane Nanao.
Even though Hikari didn't elaborate, just these words made her feel at ease.
Hikari had saved her multiple tis before, each ti appearing like an omnipotent figure to rescue her.
So, Akane Nanao had developed an almost unconditional trust in him, finding great comfort in his presence.
Clutching her phone, Akane Nanao happily waited for the class to end.
She had agreed with Hikari to tackle this matter together after class.
———
On the other side, Hikari, after receiving Akane Nanao's ssage, finally understood the faintly red dots on the Pure Love Radar.
So it was Togo Coach and Katase Shouya.
Although he didn't think Akane Nanao would deceive him about this, Hikari opened the Pure Love Radar map to double-check.
As expected, the locations matched Akane Nanao's information perfectly.
The weak red dots were due to their target not being a specific female but rather himself.
Even without Akane Nanao's warning, Hikari had planned to confront them eventually.
But with her detailed intel, there was no rush.
He finished the current class calmly.
The next one was the last of the day. After that, school would end.
Based on Togo Coach and Katase Shouya's plan, they would send him a threatening ssage after school.
Hikari, however, didn't feel like waiting. He decided to act first.
Leaving the classroom early, Hikari went to find Shinomiya Natsuha.
He told her to head ho by herself after class and to contact him if anything happened.
Since Shinomiya Natsuha bore the Pure Love Mark he'd engraved, Hikari was confident in her safety.
Although slightly pouty about not being able to go ho together, Shinomiya Natsuha understood and obediently agreed.
Hikari then descended to the first floor of the school building.
At the entrance, he saw the striking silhouette of Akane Nanao, waiting for him with her impressive figure.
"Hikari-kun!"
Seeing him approach, Akane Nanao greeted him joyfully, jogging to his side.
Unlike the morning, Hikari wasn't accompanied by other won now, making Akane Nanao secretly pleased.
"Hello, Nanao-san," Hikari responded politely.
Akane Nanao shyly fiddled with her skirt before gathering courage and saying, "Um, Hikari-kun, since you've saved so many tis, our relationship isn't just ordinary friends, right?"
"This might be a bit forward, but… I just want to say..."
"Hikari-kun, you can call Nanao-chan, or even Akane-chan if you like."
Faced with the expectant gaze of this captivating girl, Hikari nodded. "Alright, Nanao-chan."
Hearing the change in his tone, Akane Nanao smiled brightly, her chest subtly heaving with excitent, causing an unignorable wave of fat on her breasts.
Redirecting his inadvertent gaze, Hikari said, "Let's go."
"Go where, Hikari-kun? The police station to report Togo Coach and Katase Shouya's plot?" Akane Nanao asked curiously.
Shaking his head, Hikari replied, "No, verbal accusations are hard to substantiate. Even if a case is filed, their punishnt won't be severe."
Akane Nanao realized this too. Togo Coach and Katase Shouya had only sched without taking action yet.
Frowning, she asked, "Then… what should we do, Hikari-kun?"
Hikari smiled. "While reporting won't work, I have a way to resolve this permanently. Let's go talk to them directly."
Understanding his implication, Akane Nanao didn't feel worried.
Anyone else might have concerned her, but knowing Hikari's capabilities, she trusted him completely.
"To the baseball club?" Akane Nanao asked.
Hikari shook his head. "No, straight to the back mountain."

When class was about to end, Sakuramiya Hinata pulled her sister, Sakuramiya Saya, towards the archery club.
Seeing the unusually eager Sakuramiya Hinata today, Sakuramiya Saya asked curiously, "Hinata, what's up? Why are you in such a hurry to practice archery today?"
Sakuramiya Hinata smiled and replied, "Hmm, I don't know why, but I really feel like practicing archery today."
In truth, Sakuramiya Hinata's eagerness to head to the archery club stemd from her desire to apologize to Hikari.
Perhaps because she felt too guilty, whether in class or after class, Hikari's figure kept appearing in Sakuramiya Hinata's mind.
This made Sakuramiya Hinata feel extrely troubled, and to make matters worse, Hikari wasn't replying to her ssages.
So, Sakuramiya Hinata decided to head to the archery club quickly and apologize to Hikari face-to-face, as he should be practicing archery there today.
After arriving at the archery club ahead of ti, Sakuramiya Hinata began practicing with her bow and arrow absentmindedly.
At the sa ti, she anxiously waited for Hikari to appear.
However, much to Sakuramiya Hinata's frustration, even after waiting for a long ti—long past the end of class—Hikari still hadn't shown up.
This left Sakuramiya Hinata, who had been shooting arrows the whole ti, unable to focus on practice. Her movents were weak and chanical as she drew the bowstring.
Noticing the unusual state of her sister, Sakuramiya Saya, who was as close to her as a real sister, quickly realized sothing was wrong.
She noticed that Sakuramiya Hinata's archery performance was unusually poor today. Normally, even if she didn't hit the bullseye every ti, her hit rate was nearly perfect.
But today, Sakuramiya Hinata kept missing the target and seed absent-minded.
Sakuramiya Saya walked over to Sakuramiya Hinata and asked, "Hinata, what's wrong today? You don't seem to be in good form."
Sakuramiya Hinata had already decided not to tell her sister, Sakuramiya Saya, about what happened today. So, she shook her head and said, "It's nothing."
"By the way, there's sothing I've been curious about. Isn't this the ti for teaching new mbers archery after class? According to the rules of our archery club…"
"By this ti, Hikari should have co to the archery club after class to practice archery with us, right? But it's been so long, and he still hasn't co."
Hearing Hikari's na, Sakuramiya Saya's expression imdiately turned sour, and she said disdainfully, "I don't know. But who cares about him? It's better if that frivolous guy doesn't co."
"I wish he would never co and bother us, so we sisters could always be alone. Wouldn't that be great?"
Hearing Sakuramiya Saya's words, Sakuramiya Hinata felt helpless.
In the past, her thoughts would have been exactly the sa as Sakuramiya Saya's.
If Hikari didn't co to the archery club, it would be better for them to be alone.
But now, Sakuramiya Hinata was filled with guilt for misunderstanding Hikari.
If she didn't apologize to Hikari, this matter would weigh heavily on her mind.
She kept recalling Hikari's words, which made her unable to do anything well.
'No! I must find Hikari and apologize to him.'
'Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight.'
Sakuramiya Hinata silently made up her mind.
At this mont, the archery club captain happened to pass by.
Sakuramiya Hinata hurriedly called out to her and asked, "Hey, Captain. Why didn't Hikari co to the archery club to practice archery today?"
The captain looked at Sakuramiya Hinata with a puzzled expression and said, "You don't know? Hikari requested leave in advance."
"Huh… Aren't you two the ones responsible for guiding him in archery? Didn't he tell you?"
Hearing this, Sakuramiya Saya got a bit angry and scolded, "This Hikari is really too much. As a new mber, he didn't even notify his seniors that he wouldn't be coming. We've been waiting here all this ti—how rude."
The archery club captain laughed and said, "Oh, co on. I think Hikari is a nice person, not the kind of guy you're imagining."
"I feel like this isn't his fault."
"I've noticed that you two sisters are always sticking together and don't pay much attention to others."
"Be honest. Did you two neglect Hikari, maybe even ignore him, which made him report directly to instead?"
The archery club captain, knowing the Sakura sisters' personalities, imdiately guessed the situation.
Sakuramiya Saya wanted to argue and shift the bla onto Hikari.
However, Sakuramiya Hinata suddenly interrupted and said, "Yes, that's true."
"We did neglect Hikari a bit. From now on, we sisters will do our best to guide him in archery and take responsibility."
Hearing Sakuramiya Hinata's words, the archery club captain looked at her in surprise.
She had intended to say a few things to these sisters, but since Sakuramiya Hinata admitted it, there was nothing more to say. Satisfied, she nodded and left.
Hearing this, Sakuramiya Saya was rather puzzled and asked in surprise, "Hinata, why would you speak up for that annoying guy, Hikari?"
Sakuramiya Hinata laughed and said, "I didn't an to speak up for him. It's just the truth. We sisters have been so focused on each other that we did neglect teaching Hikari."
"The captain has already noticed this and had concerns. If we continue to deny it, it will only make her more dissatisfied with us."
Hearing Sakuramiya Hinata's explanation, Sakuramiya Saya still found it a bit strange but didn't know what else to say.
She patted her sister's head and said, "Sigh, no matter what, that Hikari is still so annoying."
"Since he joined the archery club, he's taken up so much of our ti."
"If not for him, we could just live as we always did, just the two of us. Thinking about it, doesn't it make him even more annoying, Hinata?"
Sakuramiya Hinata froze for a mont, "Huh?"
