Tokyo: My debt collection methods are a bit off.

Yusuke and his crush are sitting at the same table.

Kato Nana gripped her clothes tightly, her toes curling inside her small leather shoes as if she wanted to dig through the shoe's surface.

It's so embarrassing.

If Kato Nana had known that Yusuke was inviting a friend to dinner and that it was Hoshino-kun, she definitely would have left before Hoshino Jun arrived.

I will not linger for even a second longer.

Just as Kato Nana was about to say that she minded, a large hand suddenly appeared under the table and placed on her leg, giving it a squeeze.

"Hey classmate, why aren't you saying anything?"

Hoshino Jun looked at Kato Nana with a calm and composed expression.

At this moment, Kato Nana didn't dare to breathe, she was extremely panicked.

"No, it's alright. Hoshino-san, please sit down if you want. You don't need to ask me."

What should I do? Hoshino-kun isn't going to tell anyone, is she?

The girl's heart was pounding, and she glanced up at Takasaki Yusuke.

The excitement in my heart increased greatly.

Hoshino Jun smiled, then casually asked Takasaki Yusuke:

"Takasaki-kun, you invited me to dinner for a reason. Now you should tell me."

Takasaki Yusuke's lips twitched. Seeing Hoshino Junshin sitting comfortably next to Kato Nana, he felt like he had swallowed a dead fly.

But his current goal is to get close to Hoshino Jun, so he must establish a persona of wanting to reconcile.

Moreover, Takasaki Yusuke's lovely and kind childhood friend is also on the other side, so he won't lose his temper in front of Kato Nana.

'Never mind, Nana said it's okay anyway.'

Under the warm sunlight, Yusuke Takasaki's eyes and brows softened, and his voice was several tones lower than when he spoke in class.

“Hoshino-kun, you’ve misunderstood me. I didn’t invite you to dinner because I had something to do.”

"I sincerely want to get Hoshino-kun's forgiveness. I was blinded by greed before and did something wrong in order to stand up for Shiro-kun."

"It was my fault, please forgive me, Hoshino-kun."

Yusuke Takasaki clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and sincerely apologized to Jun Hoshino once again.

Seeing the change in Kato Nana's expression through her palm, Takasaki Yusuke's lips unconsciously curled up.

This was the effect he wanted: to apologize to Hoshino Jun, build a closer relationship, and clear up Kato Nana's misunderstanding of him.

Kato Nana ignored him yesterday, and she didn't answer his calls several times today, which made Takasaki Yusuke quite upset for a while.

From kindergarten to now, more than ten years have passed, and we've been childhood sweethearts for over a decade, yet we've never even hugged. How can I let Nana hate me?

'Nana, did you hear that? I did it for my friend, and I know I was wrong and I've changed my ways.'

"I'm still the gentle and kind Yusuke in your heart. I haven't turned bad, so please don't ignore me."

"Pfft!"

Hoshino Jun understood Takasaki Yusuke's words and smiled in agreement:

"Takasaki-kun, you're really going too far. Why do you apologize so many times a day?"

"Okay, okay, I forgive you. Just stop nagging about this little thing."

"Besides, maybe I've done something to wrong you too?"

Upon hearing this, Kato Nana's neck turned slightly red.

Her thin, cherry-red lips were pressed tightly together.

'Hoshino-kun is so mean.'

'How could he say something with such obvious metaphors?'

Yusuke Takasaki was a little puzzled by Nana Kato's condition, but he didn't take it to heart, because Nana Kato's face was already very red when she first arrived.

And there was a lot of fine sweat on his face.

Compared to before, things are much better now.

Yusuke Takasaki thought to himself, "Maybe Nana is just too hot."

“I knew you were a good person, Hoshino-kun, and you would forgive me.” Takasaki Yusuke said with a smile, “What would you like to eat, Hoshino-kun? Tell me and I’ll go order.”

"You can eat whatever you want."

Hoshino Jun smiled, her eyes darting back and forth between Takasaki Yusuke and Kato Nana.

Subsequently

He smiled brightly and said to Takasaki Yusuke:

"More than eating, I'm curious about the relationship between Takasaki-kun and this female classmate. She's been paying attention to Takasaki-kun."

"They didn't even glance at me."

Upon hearing this, Takasaki Yusuke couldn't help but proudly raise his head.

After all, Hoshino Jun is undeniably handsome. There's no girl in Class 3-B who could look at Takasaki Yusuke while Hoshino Jun is around.

Hoshino Jun's words at this moment undoubtedly gave Takasaki Yusuke a lot of face.

Yusuke Takasaki shouted in his heart, "Nana is the best!"

Chapter 29 Shy Nana is the best!

Having a good girlfriend is something to be proud of.

The warm sunlight, mixed with the dim yellow light in the corner, fell on the handsome men and beautiful women, giving them a halo.

They are not a couple.

Across from them, Yusuke Takasaki could hold his head high and introduce himself to everyone as the boyfriend of the girl named Nana Kato.

But

After all, he and Nana hadn't officially started dating yet.

"Hoshino-kun, Nana is the most important person to me."

"Nana is not only good at studying, but also has a great personality. Yesterday, she even brought the students from Class 3-A to cheer me on. Hoshino-kun must have noticed that too."

When introducing Kato Nana, Takasaki Yusuke's expression was slightly proud.

It's as if it's saying...

Hoshino, although I'm not as handsome as you, and I'm not as popular, my girlfriend is great, while you're just a single dog.

"Yusuke~ Stop talking."

"Hmm~!"

Kato Nana covered her face and lowered her head, her ears already blushing red.

What a shy and innocent young girl she looks like.

The most important person

What kind of ridiculous introduction is this?

Hoshino Jun, standing next to the girl, was clearly stunned for a few seconds, looking at Kato Nana with a bewildered expression.

"Hmm?" Kato Nana raised her blushing face slightly and glanced blankly at Hoshino Jun.

'Hoshino-san, why are you looking at me like that?'

What happened?

Hoshino Jun simply pursed her lips and said with a hint of disappointment in her voice:

"Takasaki-kun, Kato-kun is really great."

Hearing the envy in Hoshino Jun's tone, Takasaki Yusuke became even more smug, chuckling foolishly as he looked at Kato Nana, who was currently lying on the table with her face flushed red to the roots of her ears.

Is Nana really that shy just because she was praised in front of strangers? She's so thin-skinned.

Shy Nana, you're the best!

If I praise her a few more times in private later, I don't believe Nana will still ignore me.

"Great minds think alike, I also think Nana is amazing."

"Hoshino-kun, Nana, please have a seat. I'll go buy lunch and be right back."

Yusuke Takasaki stood up, waved with a smile, and left humming a cheerful tune.

Gazing at his retreating figure, Hoshino Jun let out a soft sigh.

"Takasaki-kun's happiness is so enviable."

"You agree, right, you scumbag who's good at toying with my feelings, Kato Nana-san?"

Hearing Hoshino Jun's words, Kato Nana looked at him blankly.

The school uniform, which had been pressed tightly against the table, was relieved as Kato Nana moved.

Just then, Hoshino Jun turned around and saw this scene.

The school uniform has suffered too much. Although I've already touched it, I still want to reach out and help relieve some of the pressure on it.

"Hoshino-kun, don't talk nonsense. I never toyed with your feelings."

Kato Nana pouted and immediately felt a slight stinging sensation on her lower lip.

On the rooftop, I got kissed by Hoshino-kun and my skin was bruised.

Feeling wronged, Kato Nana didn't back down despite the mere sting. She stared directly into Hoshino Jun's eyes and retorted:

"It was clearly Hoshino who kept bothering me; she even kissed and touched me."
