Chapter 102: Namimori Town, this is what he wants
"Tsuna, Gokudera, I've reserved a seat for the baseball game later."
Yamamoto Takeshi's eyes shifted between the two of them.
"Ah, we will go and cheer for Yamamoto!" Sawada Tsunayoshi stood up in panic reflexively and said hurriedly.
Hayato Gokudera crossed his arms across his chest and uttered a short sound through his nose in response.
"Oh." Yamamoto Takeshi's gaze paused as he looked at her. He invited the player, "Fushimi, come too."
"Yes?" The player tilted his head.
"Oh, it seems like it's my turn."
He always seemed to be in a good mood, his eyes curved slightly into a natural arc. He waved at them and returned to the team member who was calling him: "Well, see you later!"
"...This should be the last baseball game before graduation."
When the player waved to Yamamoto Takeshi, he heard Sawada Tsunayoshi say with envy.
"Yamamoto really cherishes this opportunity."
The gradually receding figure immediately blended into the group of baseball club members who were waiting for Takeshi Yamamoto to return to the team. The harmonious atmosphere could be felt from their laughing and chatting expressions.
I have always heard that Hayato Gokudera called Yamamoto Takeshi a "baseball idiot", and there are often cases where Yamamoto Takeshi is directly called away by the baseball club members.
Being good at a spectator sport is probably one of the reasons why someone is so popular on campus?
——Consideration may also be one of them.
In the almost full auditorium, three prominent seats were suddenly left vacant in the row with the widest view.
Fushimi Kyoji turned sideways, passed through the gap in the aisle, and finally sat in the seat to the right of Sawada Tsunayoshi.
Most people have already entered the market, and those who are "late" will inevitably face the attention of others.
Tsunayoshi Sawada was so uncomfortable that he almost lost his balance. It was not until the two baseball teams took the field one after another that he felt that the gazes on him gradually became less irritating.
He quietly glanced at the two people sitting on his left and right. Fushimi Kyoji was staring straight ahead, his pupils flickering slightly, as if he was looking for a familiar figure on the field.
As for Hayato Gokudera, he glanced at him the first time, as if sensing something with radar: "Tenth generation?"
Woo!
Is he the only one who feels nervous about this?
There were faint sounds of support for the players on the field, and the name "Yamamoto" was heard more frequently.
"Hey, Yamamoto-san is really popular."
He couldn't help but sigh like this, and was immediately criticized by the half-eyed Gokudera Hayato: "You really don't pay attention to him."
It sounded like a complaint, yet he seemed to welcome it. He only uttered a soft "tsk" and then stopped. His eyes unconsciously glanced at the hands of the people around him, and he stood up quickly with a movement that attracted attention. "Tenth Daemon! I'll go get you some water!"
Too, too conspicuous...
The gazes from all around were like spotlights focused on them, making Sawada Tsunayoshi wish he could shrink completely into his seat.
"Ah!" The player raised his hand and said to his only companion who was about to leave mid-game, "I want to take something with me too."
"It's so natural for you to order people around!" Hayato Gokudera complained in a bad voice.
"Please, Gokudera-san."
"……whispering sound."
Sawada Tsunayoshi's face was blank: these two people were chatting in the presence of others...
As Hayato Gokudera bent down and left the audience seats with a serious expression on his face as if he had received an supreme order, the game on the field officially began.
As expected, Yamamoto Takeshi completed a beautiful shot.
……perhaps.
At least in Fushimi Kyoji's opinion, his movements were quite neat.
If you don't want to pay attention to the situation on the field, it is also feasible to just observe Sawada Tsunayoshi's reaction.
His hands were clenched tightly, and he seemed even more nervous than he was.
"As expected of Yamamoto!" He exclaimed directly after seeing Takeshi Yamamoto hit the ball smoothly.
The players also matched the emotionless reading: "Ah, so dazzling, is it a diamond? Oh, it turns out to be the light reflected by the sweat shed by Yamamoto-san in the sunlight!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi was stunned for a moment before he struggled to digest the player's words. He blinked frequently and subconsciously: "Ah, ah... That's it."
He sat up straight unnaturally, and his voice suddenly became dry.
"Yamamoto is very good at sports, and he can always get along well with everyone. Even his grades are..." His voice, which was initially excited, gradually faded away.
"That's right."
The player echoed, not knowing why Sawada Tsunayoshi suddenly started to list Yamamoto Takeshi's advantages.
“…”
It was obvious that she just agreed with what he said. The deep amber eyes that looked at her shifted unconsciously, revealing a hint of loss.
"Sawada-san also has many strengths."
“—Eh, Eh?!”
Similarly, with just one sentence, she was like a dead tree coming back to life, revealing the confused look of someone walking on the street and suddenly being hit on the head by a gift, with tiny glimmers of expectation twinkling in her eyes: "For example?"
The player suddenly put his hand to his forehead and said thoughtfully: "Hmm..."
"Is it so difficult to think of one of my strengths?" He couldn't help but complain in grief.
"……"quiet.
"Why are you suddenly silent? That's too much!"
Realizing that he might be teased again, Sawada Tsunayoshi expressed his dissatisfaction.
Staring at that face that had no deterrent effect at all would not make people want to take it seriously.
Even the tone of voice is unconsciously familiar and intimate, and the dependence that is naturally revealed when dealing with friends makes it seem more like... acting like a spoiled child than blaming?
Hey.
Fushimi Kyoji stared at Sawada Tsunayoshi intently. As usual, when he became aware of her gaze, he looked away in uncertainty. When he was sure that she was the only target, he would take a silent breath, as if being stared at would make him very nervous and he couldn't wait to be on guard and be scrutinized.
The wings of her nose twitched slightly and inconspicuously, probably because she wasn't holding her breath. However, an embarrassing blush slowly spread from her neck to her face, completely covering up her original skin color, making it as red as a small tomato.
This reaction means he likes her, right?
The lighted-up Sawada Tsunayoshi personal cg in the achievement clearly states the acquisition requirement: Favorability reaches 65
A favorability of 65 means that someone is already in love.
It is especially easy to understand when the target is Tsunayoshi Sawada, whose emotions are almost written all over his face.
Why is there no sign of a romantic relationship so far... Is it more about friendship?
Not really.
Fushimi Kyoji does not have the habit of wasting time and energy guessing about things he cannot figure out.
Hmm...
Why not ask the person involved in a roundabout way?
"Does Sawada-san have someone he likes?" Fushimi Kyoki asked the boy next to him whose face was flushing red.
Sawada Tsunayoshi was stunned at first, with a blank confusion on his face, and then he reacted violently, so horrified that he suddenly stepped back. The player could even hear the dull thud of his back hitting the back of the chair.
It turns out that when people are extremely panicked, they really can't feel pain.
Fushimi Kyoji was deeply impressed.
Sawada Tsunayoshi just kept waving his hands quickly, as if he was worried that someone would misunderstand him because of his late answer. He couldn't help but raise his voice: "Eee! No, no!!!"
He denied it with a tone so intense he nearly bit his tongue, but then suddenly realized something and revealed a look of annoyance. He couldn't help but cautiously raise his eyes to see her expression with moist eyes, and asked uncertainly, "...or is there?"
"Do you need someone else to make the decision for Sawada-san even for this kind of question?" she asked, once again witnessing the unabashedly affectionate, yet also incredibly embarrassing, teasing gesture she always showed after he made a fool of himself. "You'll get scolded by Reborn-san."
“…” He was speechless for a moment.
Yes, he usually behaves so badly... I'm afraid his shameful image has been deeply rooted in people's minds.
Reborn had to urge or even force him to make a decision.
...Is this also the image of him in Fushimi's eyes?
The opposite of being passionate, decisive, and popular, it is synonymous with being timid, shy, and transparent.
Looking at the bright green eyes that glanced at him with a smile, filled with a soft expression that made his thoughts stiffen and freeze, his trembling lips suddenly straightened, and a barely perceptible sound escaped from between his lips as he softly refuted, "...No."
No.
There are people I like...
What sounds faster than words is the silent sound of the heart.
"Why do you ask? I mean..." It was not difficult for him to muster up the courage.
His gaze, no longer dodging, was slightly nervous, and he looked at the person in front of him clearly: "What if my answer is 'yes'?"
“…”
Hayato Gokudera rushed back and shouted loudly without caring about the looks of the people around him: "Tenth generation! I'm back!"
The other sounds were diluted as if they had misfired.
"Hey, did you buy what I want?" The player's attention was naturally drawn to his hands.
"Tsk, what a hassle." He said disdainfully, and the way he handed the thing to the other party was not gentle at all. Gokudera Hayato turned his head and immediately held the water in front of Sawada Tsunayoshi with starry eyes, "Tenth generation! Please use it!"
After saying that, Hayato Mukudera raised his head and looked at the tenth generation leader he admired, and saw that Sawada Tsunayoshi unconsciously had a choked expression on his face.
"Uh, Judaime?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi glanced at the player again and said to his companion in front of him: "...Excuse me, Gokudera."
Let’s look at what the player asked Hayato Gokudera to buy:
It's a headband and... a marker?
"That's a great help!" said the player.
She scribbled on the headband with a marker and tied it around her forehead, revealing the words "Yamamoto Must Win" on it. She cheered for him like a fan supporting a player on court: "Come on, Yamamoto-san! Take them all out with your smash!"
Gokudera Hayato couldn't stand it any longer and grumbled, "That's not baseball terminology at all!"
The player said nonchalantly: "Eh—there's no difference, right?"
"Not even close!!!" he retorted with shark teeth.
Lan Shou, who was clearly capable of standing on his own, was still easily irritated by a few words and the other party's indifferent attitude. He half-opened his eyes and retorted unhappily.
What was unfolding before my eyes seemed to be the cause of a dispute.
As the leader, he should mediate conflicts among family members, and Reborn often reminds him of this.
This is the chief's responsibility.
But, he probably doesn't need to do anything now.
One party's attitude was too calm, which made the other party even more angry. He kept talking like a machine gun, his defiant eyebrows were flying, and the blood color also showed through his skin, adding a touch of vitality.
"..." He uttered a few meaningless whispers, and soon fell silent.
It was so low that even Hayato Gokudera, who was always paying attention to him, couldn't hear it.
What kind of answer does he hope to get?
All the words that were squeezed in my chest and wanted to be said out loud disappeared when I saw this scene.
What he wants...
That's it.
That's enough.
