Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Tennis Club Manager
"Need money?"
Yuyin felt puzzled at first, but after a while she figured out why Tezuka asked this question.
It was obvious that Tobe crudely thought that since she was working four jobs at the same time, the intuitive reason was of course that she was short of money. He had no idea that there was such a thing as forced labor in the world, and that she was completely forced to love her job and be dedicated to it. Alas.
"Uh, just think of me as someone who's short of money..."
Yuyin thought about it, and finally said this in despair. After all, if she wanted to explain the inside story clearly, she would need to explain her specific relationship with the four families, which was too troublesome. It would be better to let Atobe continue to misunderstand.
After hearing her answer, Atobe Keigo shook her hand and said firmly, "How about you switch jobs and come to my place, Yuyin? The benefits are excellent. I'll give you four times the salary. Just quit your job there!"
"Uh, thank you," Yuyin said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "but I haven't thought about resigning yet..."
Is it really impossible to quit? She'd already died once before, and when she left, she was dug out of the crowd by her former boss and supervisor. Didn't she want to escape quadruple 007 hell?
"Okay..." Atobe showed a hint of disappointment, but he still cheered up and said, "If you change your mind, you're always welcome to my house."
As the topic came to an end, the two discussed the specific details of the commission while eating.
Originally, in Keigo Atobe's plan, the new bodyguards he hired were to be randomly thrown around and allowed to find places to hide themselves. At most, he would bring a group of people with him to certain special occasions, such as large family banquets, to make things convenient for him, but he didn't have to worry about them at other times.
But now, this plan certainly doesn't work. How can we let Yuyin suffer such injustice!
Besides, if he couldn't seize this opportunity given by God for the two of them to get close to each other, he would be unworthy of being Keigo Atobe.
*
The next morning.
Hyotei Tennis Court training area.
Morning exercise has not yet begun, but the regular team members have basically arrived at the venue. They are standing in groups of three or four, chatting and making preparations.
"Yushi Yushi, do you think Atobe will announce publicly today that he is no longer single?"
While tidying up the string of his racket, Taketo Mukai was excitedly chatting with his partner about the shocking discovery they had made yesterday afternoon.
Oshitari Yuushi pushed up his glasses and nodded, "Given Atobe's personality, it's very possible. But right now we're fully preparing for the national tournament, so Atobe might be deliberately hiding it to avoid disrupting the morale of the troops."
"That's right," Mukai Taketo nodded. "Apart from anything else, the fan club is a big problem. If they knew that Atobe was dating someone, most of the girls in our school would probably go crazy."
"What are you talking about?"
Then they saw the protagonist of their conversation, Atobe Keigo, walking into the venue with a triumphant stride.
Ozuki Yuushi and Mukai Taketo looked at each other and saw that there was indeed a problem. Atobe almost had the words "I'm very happy" written on his face.
However, Atobe only asked as he passed by, not expecting any answers. He walked to the center of the field, clapped his hands, and called all the regulars to him, saying, "Everyone, stop and gather in the lounge. I have an important announcement to make."
Here we come!
Oshitari and Gakuto continued to exchange glances.
In the lounge.
Facing all the regulars, Atobe announced forcefully, "The national tournament is coming up soon. In order to allow everyone to focus on preparing for the tournament and not be distracted by external affairs, I plan to add the position of tennis club manager to the tennis club."
Upon hearing this, the regular players of the tennis club suddenly became agitated.
Shishido Ryo was the most straightforward, stepping forward and saying, "That's not necessary. Our tennis club has never had a manager position. All those chores were handled by the non-regular players. There's absolutely no need for this."
Although there are only eight regular players in the Hyotei tennis club, there are as many as 200 non-regular players. There is more than enough manpower to complete all the chores of the tennis club, and there is no need for an additional manager.
Houchotaro nodded, supporting Shishido-senpai's objection, and the others couldn't help but start talking.
Atobe coughed lightly and said, "I have already reported this matter to Coach Sakaki, and he has agreed."
As soon as this move was made, all the regular players suddenly fell silent. Since Atobe had already obtained Coach Sakaki's consent without consulting him first, it seemed that he had made up his mind and would not change it.
Seeing this, Atobe nodded with satisfaction: "Now, please welcome our manager, Saionji-san."
Hearing the name, Oshitari and Taketo couldn't help but look at each other. Isn't this the name of Atobe's girlfriend?
Saionji Tamon walked in from the lounge door. No one knew how she entered the training ground. After all, there were some non-regular players outside who would block irrelevant people from entering the tennis court.
She walked over to Atobe, bowed to everyone, and introduced herself: "I am Saionji Yuon. It's our first meeting. Please give me your guidance."
Everyone bowed back quickly: "Please give us your guidance."
Oshitari Yuushi, who observed carefully and had had several chance contacts with Saionji before, noticed keenly that Saionji Gyoon's image today was different from usual.
First of all, her glasses were actually the latest men's style from L, which he had seen in a magazine.
Second, she tied up her long hair, and her overall image was very different from before.
Third, well, although ordinary boys can't see it, Saionji put on delicate light makeup today. As a man with an older sister, Oshitari, who has been referring to cosmetics for his mother and sister for many years, can still see the difference.
In short, Saionji Gyoon has changed her image today. Although it is not a drastic change, it is enough to make people's eyes bright at first glance.
When facing a beautiful woman, people will subconsciously be gentle with her even if they don't have that intention. Therefore, the regular players of the tennis club were quite friendly towards the new manager of the tennis club, Saionji Tamon.
However, the beauty smiled and suddenly said softly, "I believe that Atobe has just told everyone that I will be the manager of the tennis club. I am sure everyone is very curious about my tennis skills and understanding of tennis."
Yes, yes, Oshitari Yuushi nodded in his heart. Although you, Atobe, suddenly couldn't resist the temptation of beauty and brought your girlfriend into the tennis club, your basic role should still be up to standard.
As a result, Saionji Tamon said directly: "But I am embarrassed to tell you that I know nothing about tennis."
It was like a bomb thrown into a fish pond and exploded with a "boom".
Yuushi Oshitari suddenly felt like he was just a fish in a pond, not to mention the other teammates who were bombarded with information.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little angry. You don't understand tennis, so why do you want to be the manager of our tennis department and be so confident? Even if you don't know how to play, you should have worked hard to learn the knowledge before taking the position, right?
"Quiet!" Atobe suddenly called out, stopping the commotion. Then he said, "Well, now comes the main point of my call for you all. Everyone, listen carefully."
Relying on his past prestige, everyone still believed what Tobe said, and then they heard him continue.
"On the surface, Saionji-san is the manager of our tennis club, but in reality, she was invited by me to protect everyone's safety during the national tournament."
Wait, what protection? Who is being protected? Who is protecting whom?
For a moment, the other candidates thought they were hallucinating, but Ozuki Yuushi seemed to have connected something and looked as if he had suddenly realized something.
As expected, Atobe continued, "I think you haven't forgotten the supernatural incident that happened in my villa in Karuizawa last time, right?"
Everyone's faces turned pale, especially Taketo Mukaihi, who had already slipped behind Oshitari to hide himself.
Atobe said confidently, "That's right. Saionji-san is good at exorcising ghosts, so in order to prevent the Karuizawa incident from happening again and for everyone's safety, I specially invited Saionji-san to come. Since this kind of thing can't be announced to the public, in order to make the arrangements reasonable, Saionji-san can only work in the tennis club as the manager. I think everyone should understand now."
Everyone nodded frantically: "I understand!"
From now on, anyone who slanders the manager will be against all the regular players of the tennis club!
Saionji Gyoin smiled and bowed to everyone again: "From now on, I will be grateful for your guidance."
"Please give me your guidance!"
Everyone hurriedly returned the greeting, and then looked at the beautiful face of Saionji Tamane, and their feelings were completely different. Could such a beautiful girl actually kill demons and monsters?
At this time, Yuushi Oshitari also realized why Atobe had gathered everyone in the lounge to announce the news, because the true inside story of this matter could not be made public, except for the regulars who had experienced the Karuizawa incident, no more people could know about it.
However, in this case, Saionji's sudden appointment as manager and Atobe's protection of her will definitely cause an uproar in the tennis club, no, in the entire Hyotei campus. Many people will believe that the two have a special relationship.
Feeling the special atmosphere between Atobe and Saionji at this moment, Oshitari Yuushi pushed up his glasses and wanted to say:
Well, those people’s speculations are obviously facts.
*
After the temporary gathering was disbanded, everyone went out to train again, as if they had never heard the explosive news.
Well, in this regard, the psychological quality of the Hyotei tennis team's starting players is indeed extraordinary.
Saionji Tamon sat on a bench at the side of the field, holding her chin with one hand and observing the field.
This was the second time she had watched the tennis club practice so closely. The first time was when she watched their practice match with the Seigaku Tennis Club at Karuizawa Villa.
"Give."
Yuyin looked up and saw a glass of orange juice handed to her. She took it and said, "Thank you."
Atobe Keigo sat down next to her, holding a glass himself. "The oranges are freshly squeezed. I didn't add ice to your glass. If you have any requests for the type of juice, sweetness, or whether it's hot or cold, you can tell my maids. I've already told them. Your orders are mine."
Yuyin bit the pipe and said, "It sounds like I'm just bullying others. I guess your servants and maids must be wondering about our relationship right now."
In the Atobe family, only the butler Yamaoki knows Yuyin's true identity, and no one else knows it yet.
Atobe took a sip of the juice and said, "If you had adopted the first two courses of action, they wouldn't have to bother guessing now."
Yuyin couldn't help but widen her eyes and retorted: "How can that be?!"
Originally, Yuyin had planned to be a shadowy bodyguard for protection missions. With over a decade of experience as a social animal, she was already quite experienced at this type of mission.
When she was in class at school, she sat next to Keigo Atobe, so there was no need to worry about her during that time.
The key point is how to protect Keigo Atobe's time outside of school. Most of his spare time is spent on tennis, and the other half is spent at home.
Tamane's original plan was that when Keigo Atobe was training or participating in a tennis match, she would quietly follow him as a spectator, and then step forward to solve the problem when something really happened.
But Keigo Atobe thought that this was too unfair to her and there was no need to be so secretive, so he proposed Plan 1 and Plan 2, which were known for being open and aboveboard.
What made Yuyin speechless were these two plans.
Because the first plan that Atobe had in mind was to announce to the public that Saionji Tamon was his fiancée, so that no matter how inseparable they were and how many things they did together, it would not arouse suspicion from outsiders.
How can this be?
Yuyin immediately expressed her objection. She was carrying out the mission in secret, and she especially couldn't let anyone in the Jujutsu Association and the Special Ability Agent Department, except Senior Gojo and Mr. Ango, discover anything unusual. Becoming the legendary fiancée of Atobe, well, even if it was just a fake one, would greatly increase her chances of being exposed.
Under Yuyin's strong opposition, Atobe had no choice but to give in and say that let's go with option two.
The second option is to publicly announce that Saionji Gyoen is Atobe Keigo's girlfriend. It's only natural for boyfriends and girlfriends to be so affectionate and always be together, right?
Yuyin was speechless, asking what's the difference between this and plan one.
Atobe said yes, one is aiming for marriage, and the other is just in a romantic relationship for now.
No, no, I'm afraid I will be assassinated by the girls in school.
When Yuyin thought of Atobe's huge fan base, even someone as powerful as her couldn't help but shudder and shook her head.
Well, Atobe had to change his mind again and said dejectedly that the only option left was plan three.
As for what plan three is, seeing that she is now sitting in the Hyotei Tennis Club as the tennis club manager, you know what Atobe's final plan is.
If this was the plan that Atobe proposed at the beginning, I would definitely not agree to it, Yuyin thought as she sipped her orange juice.
But compared with the first two options, option three is not so unacceptable.
Hearing her intense reaction, Atobe raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Don't forget, you still have to go to the Student Union with me at noon."
Yuyin couldn't help but wilted: "Or, forget it..."
Atobe said proudly, "Didn't we discuss this before? Just the position of tennis club manager isn't enough to explain why we're always together. Adding the position of student union secretary wouldn't make a difference."
The student union originally had the positions of vice president and secretary, just as the tennis club should have had the positions of vice president and tennis club manager. However, Keigo Atobe was proud of his own abilities, and those positions had been vacant ever since he took over the positions of student union president and tennis club manager. Now they are just being reactivated in a reasonable way.
Of course, Atobe's universal excuse to the outside world is the national competition. Everyone at Hyotei knows how much he values tennis, and using this as an excuse is indeed convincing.
It’s not certain whether it can convince everyone.
Yuyin couldn't help but sigh. It felt like her luck had been getting worse and worse since she was exposed, no, since the inexplicable fusion of the worlds even earlier.
Now she only hopes that the protection mission will go smoothly and that no blind cursed spirits, monsters or people with special abilities will come to cause trouble. Otherwise, she will definitely let them know why the flowers are so red!
*
On the way back to the classroom with Keigo Atobe, Tamane enjoyed the most grand attention she had ever received in Hyotei.
After she stepped into the classroom, she was faced with two consecutive questions from her classmates: "Classmate, who are you...?" and then turned to ask Atobe, "Atobe, you are a transfer student, a new student in our class?"
Yuyin pushed up her glasses and said speechlessly, "I'm Saionji."
The reactions were all shocking: "You said you were Saionji, but I don't believe you!"
Yuyin held her forehead helplessly and said, "Please, she just put on light makeup, it's not like her face changed, okay?"
Well, she had felt it was a bit strange before. She had started using the technique of concealing her identity when she was working in secret with the Special Ability Agent Department. Although it was crude, it was very useful. As long as she concealed it, outsiders would definitely not recognize her. Later, she saw Natori Shuichi's even more crude concealment technique when he was a star. It had to be said that there is always someone better than you, and passers-by were just blind and couldn't recognize her.
In the end, she had to hold onto Atobe to prove it, and everyone believed that she was not the new transfer student named Saionji. Even when she was collecting homework, people kept looking at her.
However, at that time, the influence had only spread to Class A of Grade 3. It was not until lunch that it really ignited public opinion in Hyotei.
When Yuyin was looking for a seat in the school cafeteria with her food tray, she swore that she originally just wanted to find a seat that was relatively close so that she could see the main players of the tennis club. This was purely a work requirement.
Unexpectedly, before she even sat down, Xiang Riyueren from the main selection team saw her from afar, waved, and shouted, "Yuyin, over here, over here, I saved a seat for you!"
Yuyin could guarantee that most of the people in the school cafeteria heard that loud voice, not to mention that the tennis club's regular players were the focus of Hyotei Academy's attention.
