Tokyo: My debt collection methods are a bit off.

"Yusuke, wait for me." Takayanagi Shiro, who had just been jumping around, also felt embarrassed and quickly followed after him, leaving together.

Watching them leave, Hoshino Jun clicked her tongue in amazement.

"Hehe, consider it a small interest."

"My debts aren't so easy to repay."

"Takasaki-kun."

Hoshino Jun raised her head and gazed at the azure sky, her peripheral vision falling on Kato Nana, who was pretending to be nonchalant.

Kato Nana's gaze kept drifting towards Hoshino Jun.

A gentle breeze caressed his face, blowing his short black hair in the wind. The boy raised his hand to shield his eyes from the glaring sunlight, a smile playing on his lips.

"Let the bullets fly a little longer."

Pink petals danced in the air and drifted down gently with the breeze.

The tennis match was nothing more than a small-scale school farce.

The truly dazzling sights were the adorable girls in miniskirts, their smooth, fair legs shimmering with vibrant light as they moved in the sunlight.

Unfortunately, Yusuke Takasaki and Shiro Takayanagi will not be able to enjoy this beautiful scenery for the time being; they are even too embarrassed to linger in places where their classmates are.

"Jingle Bell--"

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the school bell rang to signal the end of the school day.

Yusuke Takasaki was even more frustrated. In the island nation, the end of school doesn't count as the end of school. Students are required to participate in club activities for about two hours before they can leave school.

"Given how gossipy those girls in my class are, they've probably already spread the news of my loss to Hoshino to the tennis club."

"so annoying!"

Right now, Takasaki Yusuke wished he could travel back to noon and give Hoshino Jun a good beating.

He cursed wildly in his mind.

That damn Hoshino Jun, are you messing with me?

Why didn't you say so earlier if you had the ability?

If you, Hoshino Jun, had told me earlier, I would have had nothing better to do than challenge you to a competition.

Now I've really embarrassed myself, and I don't know if Nana is disappointed in me.

"Yusuke, it's time to go. I still have to attend the kendo club's activities."

Suddenly, Gao Liucheng announced his departure.

"So punctual."

Yusuke Takasaki stretched his neck and said, "You're really persistent in wanting to see Yamada-kun."

Upon hearing this, Gao Liucheng lowered his eyes slightly and scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's not entirely for Kaoru; I'm also very interested in Kendo myself."

While speaking, Gao Liucheng looked around, practically with "I'm lying" written all over his face.

"Alright, let's go, you two-faced jerk."

Takasaki Yusuke didn't say anything more and went to the teaching building with Takayanagi Shiro.

Before heading to the club venue, they need to go back to their classrooms to retrieve their backpacks.

The two walked along, constantly criticizing Hoshino Jun for hiding his true abilities and pretending to be weak while actually being strong, and how shameless he was. A few minutes later, they arrived at the classroom.

However, Gao Liucheng was stunned when he arrived at the classroom.

At this moment, a dozen or so girls were gathered around Hoshino Jun's spot, including not only those from Class B, but also those from the neighboring Class A and Class C.

The most outstanding among them was a tall, slender, long, fair-skinned black-haired girl wearing black leather shoes.

Upon seeing Takayanagi Shiro and Takasaki Yusuke enter the classroom, they both showed their disgust.

"Takayanagi-kun, are you the one who framed Hoshino-kun with this person?"

"You really disappoint me."

The girl's pink lips parted slightly, uttering a cold voice. Her gaze was indifferent, as if she were looking at a repulsive stranger.

As soon as she finished speaking, Gao Liucheng felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Because the girl who spoke was the girl that Gao Liucheng had liked for six whole years.

Kaoru Yamada is the class representative of Class 3-D, the head of the kendo club, and is known as the number one kendo genius in Tokyo.

"."

at the same time.

On the way from the teaching building to the swimming club, Hoshino Jun leaned against a huge willow tree on the left side of the road.

His attire remained the same as when he was at the tennis court, a blue and white sports long-sleeved shirt and trousers.

He would occasionally twist and shake his arms, looking utterly bored, as if he were waiting for someone.

Finally, the charming young girl, Kato Nana, dressed in a blazer and black stockings, walked over from a distance.

Her blazer was very fitted, and the bow at the neckline looked like a real butterfly, giving the impression that it might be shaken off at any moment.

Kato Nana is probably the most reasonable girl Hoshino Jun has ever met.

Perhaps in a few years, she might even be qualified to compete with Mrs. Takayanagi.

If she didn't have a cute, childlike face and a petite figure, she would probably be very much to Hoshino Jun's liking.

Kato Nana walked at a moderate pace, maintaining a steady, not violent, trembling motion. As she passed Hoshino Jun, she turned her head and greeted him.

"Hoshino-kun, what a coincidence."

"It's not a coincidence at all; I was waiting for you here on purpose."

Kato Nana was stunned; she didn't immediately realize whether Hoshino Jun had said something wrong.

But Jun Hoshino was telling the truth.

After the school bell rang, Hoshino Jun didn't even go back to the classroom to watch the play; he just stayed here waiting for Kato Nana.

"Hey classmate, I helped you this morning, but when we were playing tennis just now, you were cheering for my opponent."

"Tell me, how should I punish you?!"

(PS:

Chapter 16 Hoshino-kun is so mean

As the sun sets, the sky gradually turns golden.

The willows on campus swayed in the evening breeze, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the gaps, illuminating the boy's high nose.

The boy stood tall and straight, exuding a free and confident aura.

The daring Hoshino Jun, seeing that Kato Nana was in a daze, actually raised his hand and reached out towards Kato Nana's cute, slightly chubby face.

Kato Nana seemed startled, her face showing panic. She bit her lip, gripped her backpack tightly with both hands, and took a half step back.

Her fair skin was taut and bound by long black stockings, making her plump legs look even more rounded and cute.

If possible, the kind-hearted Hoshino Junma wanted to pinch her thigh to test how it felt on behalf of Takasaki-kun.

"Starry Night Classmate"

"Nana-chan's hair is dusty."

Hoshino Jun's fingers brushed through the girl's slightly curly black hair, gently tousling it before withdrawing her hand.

It was as if he was just shaking dust off Nana Kato's hair.

"Hoshino-kun, so you knew my name?"

Kato Nana took another step back, and as she spoke with her lips pursed, a hint of disappointment flashed across her face, which was noticed by her eyes.

The allure of this petite, youthful-looking giant loli is enough to seduce most young men.

Unfortunately, Hoshino Jun is a mature womanizer and has a strong immunity to young girls.

No matter how tempting the other party is, he can calmly respond.

"I don't know your full name. I just heard everyone calling you Nana-chan at the tennis court."

Hoshino Jun wasn't exactly lying; if it weren't for the system's prompt, he genuinely wouldn't know who Kato Nana was.

It will probably take quite a while to find it.

"I see." Kato Nana wasn't too surprised by the answer.

In their third year at the same school, no one had ever heard of anyone plucking this unattainable flower, nor had Hoshino Jun ever asked any girl for her name.

It's normal that I didn't know her before.

"Let's get back to the point, Nana-chan. You actually cheered for my opponent. What kind of punishment do you think I should give you?"

Hoshino Jun suddenly took a step forward, her eyes crinkling as she looked at Kato Nana with a smile.

His gaze was sharp, like a bullet that would pierce the girl's soul.

"Hoshino-kun, what punishment are you talking about? I don't understand at all."

"I'm a free person. I can cheer for whomever I want, right?"

After saying this, Kato Nana took a half step back in fear, her big, watery eyes drooping, looking terrified.

Even so, she still didn't turn around and run away, or shout for help.

"No, because I helped Nana-chan, and Nana-chan betrayed me, so I must punish Nana-chan."

What betrayal?

Kato Nana felt a surge of shame and anger. If she had cheered for Hoshino Jun, that would have been a betrayal.

Compared to her childhood friend Takasaki Yusuke, Hoshino Jun was just a kind and handsome stranger to Kato Nana.
