Then, she looked at Jun Mogami who was speaking eloquently on the podium, and suddenly understood something.

No wonder...

..............................

As the clock hands slid to the designated position, the short yet long confrontation between the two teams finally came to an end.

In both rounds of competition, the referees would give scores to the members of each team. After the competition, they discussed it and finally decided that the Kita Akabane Academy team won.

Because it was the home game, the sparse audience were all students of our school. They all stood up and applauded, congratulating the school team on their victory.

However, Jun Mogami and his teammates were not as ecstatic this time as they were last time they won.

The last time at the girls’ school, they were unsure, so after they tried their best to win, they couldn’t suppress the joy that burst out. But this time it was different—they already had the mentality of “we will definitely win,” so now that they have actually won, they don’t feel that excited.

More importantly, they have now become friends with the members of the girls' school. Although they have to win, it is difficult to be too happy after winning against them.

After being declared the loser, the members of the Ogiyuan Girls' School team came over to congratulate Jun Mogami and others on their victory according to etiquette.

"Mogami-kun, congratulations on your victory." Umemiya Natsuki, the leader, led the others to bow slightly to Mogami Jun and the others, "Your performance made us accept the defeat."

"Senior, we just won by luck. Your performance was also very good." Mogami Jun quickly greeted them with his people. "If it weren't for a little bit of luck, we might not have won."

Mogami Jun's words were indeed sincere, because Umemiya Natsuki's performance really surprised him. Her eloquence and spoken English were impeccable.

"Humph, forget about this kind of boring consolation." Mei Gong Xia Fei did not appreciate it, but just looked at the other party calmly, "You won because of your ability, we admit defeat. But please don't relax from now on, keep going, the further you go, the more glorious our defeat will be, do you understand?"

"I understand." Mogami Jun nodded again, "I will continue to move forward with the expectations of my senior sister. Please leave it to me!"

He could also see that although the other party had been mentally prepared for the eventual defeat, he was still quite unhappy.

If you put yourself in his shoes, you will know that Meigong Xia Fei is as proud as he is, and she must hate swallowing the bitter fruit of failure. Now that she can be so kind to him, she is already giving him face.

"Okay, senior sister, now that the competition is over, it's history. There's no need for us to dwell on history..." He suggested with a smile, "Next, let's start our plan?"

The so-called plan, of course, refers to the plan they had made beforehand to take the girls out of the school to relax and have fun.

"That's fine." Umemiya Xia Fei sighed. "I also need to change my mood now."

"Then please come with us--" Jun Mogami turned around and winked at his teammates.

The teammates understood what he meant and quickly led the girls out of the auditorium.

"Everyone please follow me, I have already chosen the route!"

Shota Matsushima was the initiator of this event, so he naturally took on the responsibility of guide.

Intentionally or unintentionally, all of them kept a certain distance, leaving a little space for Jun Mogami and Asana Izumo.

Of course Asana could see what everyone was thinking, so she was a little shy and lowered her head, not daring to speak. She didn't have any of the courage she had in front of Mogami Jun yesterday.

"Asana?" Jun Mogami greeted with a smile.

"Hmm?" Feeling that she was being called, Izumo Asana suddenly raised her head and looked at Mogami Jun, "Jun, what can I do for you?"

"I don't have any instructions. I just want to ask, aren't we going to the indoor sports field later? What sport do you like?" asked Jun Mogami.

Asana hesitated for a moment, as if she was thinking about how to choose. After a moment, she finally gave an answer.

"I don't have any particular favorite sport. If I have to choose, I prefer tennis..."

"Do you like tennis?" It's normal for a quiet girl like Asana not to like sports, so Mogami Jun is not surprised. "Okay, let's play tennis first..."

Then he looked at the others, "How is it?"

Of course, the others would not refuse him at this time and they all expressed their agreement.

"Magami Jun, it just so happens that I am very unhappy about losing to you today. Let's just play tennis again—" Umemiya Natsuhi said suddenly, and then looked at Mogami Jun with a little teasing, "Do you dare to accept the challenge?"

Mogami Jun hesitated for a moment.

It's not that he was afraid. Although he was not good at tennis, there was a huge gap in strength between boys and girls. He was afraid that if he embarrassed Senior Umemiya again, it might not be good.

“Jun, if you want to fight, you’d better give it your all…” Asana whispered to Mogami Jun, “Senior is a very good tennis player…”

You even know this? Umemiya-senpai, is there anything else you don't know? !

Well, it's just entertainment anyway. If I lose, then I lose. At least it'll make Senior Umemiya happy.

"Okay then, I accept the challenge. Let's have a competition later!" Mogami Jun agreed immediately.

"Jun-chan?"

At this time, a greeting came from not far away.

When Jun Mogami looked up, he saw Mayu Takasaki, who was wearing a dress, looking at him with a smile.

Takasaki real pomelo character design

I would like to continue to thank the artist Aimee Lia! Here is the character design of Yuzu

I feel that they are all painted with great care, thank you very much...

I really don't know how to describe my feelings. After all, with the popularity of this book, it is an unexpected happiness that someone is willing to draw character illustrations of this quality for free.

I can only thank you a hundred times in advance...

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

By the way, the lines in the picture are the lines that Jun Mogami said in the first chapter: "Hey, you've been chattering from the beginning, it's so noisy! What does this have to do with you!" The artist said that Yuzu-chan would look better with the lines, so I translated it and posted it... It really feels better. . .

185, first meeting

"Jun-chan?"

Jun Mogami heard the call and looked over subconsciously.

Then he found that Takasaki Mayu was looking at him with a smile on her face.

Zhenyou is as pretty and cute as ever. Although she is only wearing an ordinary school uniform, she is still dressed differently and eye-catchingly. Coupled with her heartwarming smile, she can almost be regarded as the spokesperson for the word "youthful and bright".

But now Jun Mogami couldn't laugh. He always felt that there seemed to be some dissatisfaction hidden in Mayu's smile.

At this moment, Shota Matsushima and Kaoru Okabe also focused their eyes on Jun Mogami with a somewhat strange expression, as if they were asking him how they should deal with it.

Even Jun Mogami felt that they seemed to be gloating a little bit - perhaps they were all secretly looking forward to encountering such a scene one day.

Forget it. Jun Mogami doesn’t have time to discuss the mental state of these people now.

The most important thing now is to face this unexpected impact.

So what should we do?

Yisi leads the three sparkling wine targets

He wasn't quite sure yet, but completely ignoring the other party certainly wouldn't work, as that would only arouse more suspicion, and Zhenyou would probably embarrass him even more.

"Ah, Yuzu-chan!" After just a moment of hesitation, he smiled, suppressed the doubts in his heart, raised his hand and greeted Zhenyou.

Seeing that Jun Mogami was still so friendly towards her, Takasaki Mayu finally felt relieved. She walked over step by step with a smile on her face, and then stood in front of Jun Mogami very naturally.

"Congratulations! You won the championship today on behalf of our school! I just watched you debate and you did very well!"

Perhaps because there were people watching her, she tried to act even cuter. Her every frown and smile was filled with a pleasant aura, as if she had a halo around her.

As she spoke, her eyes twinkled, as if she were a little fangirl of Mogami Jun.

"Thank you... But this is nothing to brag about, it's just a game." Mogami Jun replied somewhat embarrassedly.

Do you want to expose the “true face” of Zhenyou?

Soon, Jun Mogami himself rejected this idea.

After all, embarrassing Zhenyou in public is a bit too cruel, and it will also make oneself appear too petty.

More importantly, since it is rare for us to get together today, why should we make everyone unhappy?

He knew that Zhenyou was deliberately acting, trying to show in front of everyone that the two of them had a good relationship, but there was no other good way now, so he could only go along with Zhenyou's performance.

"Since you were watching our game just now, you should have seen that they are our opponents in this game—" Mogami Jun pointed at the girls next to him, "It can be said that we have become friends after fighting, so please don't congratulate me anymore, so as not to embarrass everyone..."

"Well! Okay! Since you said so, let's do this!" Mayu nodded immediately and accepted Mogami Jun's request with a gentle attitude that she had never had before.

Then she turned to the girls and bowed to them very politely. "I'm sorry to bother you all!"

The girls looked at each other and were suddenly at a loss as to the appearance of Zhenyou.

Although the other party was a bit annoying no matter how they looked at him, it was hard for them to feel disgusted. However, they were women after all, even if they were just girls, they still had women's instincts, and this instinct made them almost subconsciously know that Zhenyou's sudden appearance was definitely not just a greeting.

What was this? A demonstration? To show that he and Jun Mogami were close?

For a moment, they subconsciously looked at Asana, as if waiting for her to make some statement.

But Asana didn't say anything. She seemed to have not reacted yet. She just looked at Mayu in confusion. The two of them just stared at each other.

Mayu gave her a bright smile, and Asana finally reacted and bowed slightly to her, showing no anger or impatience at all. Perhaps this was all very normal for her.

What a silly boy.

Meigong Xia Fei narrowed her eyes and looked carefully at the girl opposite her.

"Mayu Takasaki? Are you Mayu Takasaki? The idol?" she asked after a moment.

Then, she nodded slightly, giving the other person the minimum approval, "She looks even prettier than in the video."

"Eh? You know Yuzu-chan's name? I'm so happy!" Zhenyu was surprised and happy, "Yes, I'm Takasaki Zhenyu, but I prefer people to call me Yuzu-chan - do you like watching my performance? Thank you!"

"Ah, don't get me wrong, I actually have no interest in the idol's performance. I just watched it because someone asked me to. I didn't have any feelings after watching it. It's too exaggerated." Umemiya Xia Fei poured a basin of cold water on Zhenyou unceremoniously.

...Mayou almost got angry when someone made such a contemptuous comment about her as soon as they met.

Although she still maintained a smile on the surface, she had clenched her fists tightly.

Mayu Takasaki couldn't stand others looking down on her performance ability. She was furious when Jun Mogami made such comments before, but she couldn't get angry now and could only grit her teeth and endure it.

"Excuse me, what should I call you?" she asked reluctantly.

"My name is Umemiya Xia Fei." Umemiya Xia Fei answered briefly, "I'm a third-year student. I can be considered the captain of the team today."

"Umemiya Natsuki..." Takasaki Mayu whispered the name, and after a moment she remembered it, and then looked at Mogami Jun, "Ah?! Is it that senior?"

"Yes, it's that senior." Mogami Jun nodded gently. "She has already promised to promote you at the girls' school--"

"That one really has to be thanked to you and Umemiya-senpai..." Mayu forced a smile.

When the two of them were in the auditorium office before, Mogami Jun wrote this name on the blackboard and introduced it to Zhenyou. However, Zhenyou didn't expect that she would be so unpleasant after meeting this senior.

It seems that this senior sister Umemiya is quite prestigious in the girls' school, but to be honest, it is not a pleasure to get her help. What's so good about someone who belittles herself as soon as she meets you?

"Don't thank me, I'm just entrusted by someone. After all, it's Mogami-kun's request, so no matter how reluctant I am, I can only help reluctantly - thank him if you want to thank someone, don't thank me." Umemiya Xia Fei smiled and shook her head, "Of course you can rest assured, since I'm willing to help you promote, I will do it seriously even if I don't like it..."

Zhenyou's face suddenly turned pale. Being scolded in public like this would be hard for him to endure no matter how good-tempered he was, let alone someone with such a strong self-esteem.

"If that's the case, why bother to help? I didn't ask you for help, did I? If you don't like it, you can just stop. I will still be grateful to you." She responded bluntly, "Besides, judging from the fact that you were easily defeated by a bunch of juniors here, even if you want to help, it probably won't be of much use. I don't dare to expect anything!"

Zhenyou's ridicule made Umemiya Xia Fei frown immediately.

"Shut up!" Before she could say anything, Makino Masako next to her spoke directly, "Senior said she would help you, so she will help you. Do you think you can accept it if you want to or refuse it if you want to? Just accept the favor honestly. How dare a mere singing and dancing girl talk so much... Do you really think you can be compared with us?"

"Okay, stop arguing?! Stop it all!"

Jun Mogami couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked right in between them and interrupted their quarrel.

Originally he didn't want to speak in such an awkward situation, but now he felt that he had to stand up.

Although he knew that Mayu had some bad intentions in running over here, even so, it was still too much for Senior Umemiya and Masako Makino to be so disrespectful to him.

It wouldn't be a big deal to bully Zhenyou, but she has been through a series of misfortunes recently and is already mentally fragile. It's really unbearable to see her being verbally attacked like this.

After all, what did she do wrong? She just came over to say hello to him.

"Jun-chan..." Seeing Jun Mogami step forward, Mayu blinked and almost cried. "Thank you."

Some of her behavior was deliberately misery to attract Mogami Jun's sympathy, but most of it was a manifestation of her true feelings. She was already in a bad mood, and being treated with such contempt by others, she felt really uncomfortable.

"It's okay. I'm sorry to embarrass you like this." Jun Mogami whispered to comfort her.

Then he turned around and looked at Umemiya Natsuki, "Senior Umemiya, I don't quite understand what you mean. Since I asked you to help her, you should know that she is my friend. Since you know that we are friends, I will not allow you to mock her like this. Besides, you are a senior, so you should be kinder to the juniors, right? Please apologize to her!"

"She seems to think of herself as more than just a friend..." Umemiya Natsuhi sneered, "Just now when you were chatting with Asana, she insisted on coming over and flirting like that. Did she think no one could see it?"

"Please apologize to her - no matter why she came, at least she didn't do anything to you, right?" Mogami Jun repeated his request. "Do you think this is appropriate, senior?"

"This really surprises me. Do you prefer this type of person who is all show and no substance...?" Mei Gong Xia Fei did not apologize, but asked directly, "You, are not..."
