Didn’t you say you were just using me as a substitute?

Shouldn't I reject him?

Kaguya-sama: [Hayasaka, find a way to take him down.]

Hayasaka Ai:【？】

Not the eldest lady!

I treat you as my sister, but you want me to be your partner?

It also makes me and Kitahara Tsuyoshi, the king of the sea, who can meet nine women who are his backups when he goes out to buy a pack of sanitary pads.

Shinomiya Kaguya, your conscience has been eaten by a dog!

Chapter 176 The real Kitahara-san?

On the batting cage, a ball machine spits out a baseball at a speed of 155 km/h per second.

His eyes caught the trajectory of the flying baseball, and Kitahara Takashi calculated the time to swing the bat.

The expected impact didn't come, and the bat swung in the air.

"Tsk!"

Kitahara Takashi smacked his lips blatantly.

Almost there again.

With a ball speed of 150km/H, Kitahara Takashi was able to hit seven out of ten balls.

But when the ball speed reached 155km/H, he couldn't hit it at all.

It's always close.

And after throwing a lot of balls before, his arm started to feel uncomfortable again.

"Don't look with your eyes, feel with your body."

Beiyuan Zun picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead. At this moment, a slightly low and cold voice brushed past his ears.

Kitahara Takashi turned his head and found that the person who spoke was Hayasaka Ai.

"?"

Kitahara Tsutomu looked at her in confusion.

Hayasaka Ai didn't go to see Kitahara Takashi, or rather, she didn't feel comfortable going to see him.

How could someone just reject someone's advances and then happily approach them again?

That's right, she did it.

Hayasaka Ai thought about the text message she had just received from Shinomiya Kaguya: [Although Kitahara Takashi is a worthless person, greedy for money, lustful, and a liar, overall, he is still a good and outstanding individual with some good qualities.]

【Maintaining a good relationship with him will be of great use to us in the future.】

"It's just acting, I believe it's easy to make him bewildered with your abilities."

[Once you control Kitahara Takashi, won't Yozakura Hitomi, Kamikawa Nari, Ryuju Momo, Kashiwagi Nagisa and the others just let us do whatever we want?]

Hayasaka Ai finally understood that Shinomiya Kaguya wanted to use Kitahara Takashi's wealth to control her daughter.

The idea is good, provided that I can really make Kitahara Tsutomu, the sea king, fall in love with her and become obsessed with her.

So can you do it yourself?

The answer is, of course - it's impossible no matter how hard you try.

Who is Kitahara Tsutomu? He is the master who moves among the young ladies and plays with them at his will.

To be honest, Hayasaka Ai has never seen anyone dare to provoke the eldest daughter of the Five Regents (Hitomi Yozakura), the daughter of the Kamikawa Group (Riri Kamikawa), the daughter of the Shijo family (Maiki Shijo), the granddaughter of the three economic groups (Nagisa Kashiwagi), the Yakuza princess (Momo Ryuju), the beloved daughter of the Sawamura family (Eri Sawamura), and the jewel of the Hiratsuka Group (Shizuka Hiratsuka) at the same time.

Each of the above people is a big shot, and the Prime Minister has to be polite when meeting them.

He provoked them all.

Isn’t he afraid of thunder?

Hayasaka Ai has never understood how a person can be so brave?

It is no exaggeration to say that if something happens, the entire island nation will probably experience huge turmoil from public security to finance, and even all forces may be reshuffled.

Now Kitahara Tsutomu is like a nuclear bomb that can explode at any time. Not to mention Shinomiya Kaguya, even her elder brother Shinomiya Huangguang was silent for a long time after seeing Kitahara Tsutomu's network of relationships.

It was the first time that Hayasaka Ai saw that Shinomiya Huangguang wanted to say something but stopped himself several times, and finally remained silent.

Hayasaka Ai knew that the reason why Shinomiya Huangguang was like this was because even he didn't know how to treat Kitahara Takashi.

Putting aside his character, Hayasaka Ai actually admires Kitahara Takashi's cunning and emotional intelligence.

Yes, it is cunning.

If Kitahara Tsutomu was just handsome but gentle but accomplished nothing, he would have died countless times already.

Hitomi Yozakura, Nari Kamikawa, Nagisa Kashiwagi, Momo Ryujuu, Maki Shijo... Which one is easier to get along with?

Not only can Kitahara Takashi hang out with this group of people all day, he can also make them obey to a certain extent. In a sense, he is very powerful.

Letting a little girl like her, who had never even been in love, charm him to death, what was the difference between this and letting Xiao Yan, who had reached the third level of fighting power, kill Emperor Hun Tian immediately?

Hayasaka Ai knew that she would never be able to defeat Kitahara Takashi.

However, she still agreed to the request.

Even if she was extremely reluctant, she would still do it as long as it was Kaguya Shinomiya's request.

Besides the fact that the master and servant have a very good relationship, doing so can make her feel better.

"The information received by the eyes is transmitted to the brain, and the brain then issues instructions, and the body will make corresponding movements. This is the key to why you always fall short."

Hayasaka Ai took the metal baseball bat from Kitahara Takashi's hand, and her fingers 'accidentally' touched Kitahara Takashi's fingers.

Kitahara Takashi glanced at Hayasaka Ai.

The touching of fingers seemed unintentional, but to Kitahara Takashi it seemed very deliberate.

Because he often does that.

'interesting. ’

Kitahara Tsutomu felt like he had met the Sea King and encountered the sea.

Whether it is a match made in heaven or an absolute suppression remains to be seen.

Kitahara Takashi thought he had met his match, but he didn't know that Hayasaka Ai was already extremely shy, and her face, which was facing away from him, quickly became hot.

I put into use that little tip she just gave me after hearing it from her best friends.

'I don't know if it will work.'

Hayasaka Ai muttered to herself, standing where Kitahara Takashi had just stood, with her hands together, her front elbows away from her body, her forearms stretched out, and her feet slightly apart.

“When swinging, don’t extend your front foot too far, as this will affect the accuracy of your swing and even hinder your next start.”

Kitahara Tsutomu said nothing and observed carefully.

I was just practicing pitching in there and forgot to learn batting drills.

Ohtani Shota and the others probably didn't expect that a person who could throw a ball at a speed of 153km/h didn't even master the key points of batting practice.

Whoosh!

There was a sound of breaking air, Hayasaka Ai kicked back, turned her body, pulled her arms, swung her wrists, and swung the bat.

Even though the ball hadn't arrived yet, Hayasaka Ai had already started swinging.

In Kitahara Takashi's judgment, this ball should have missed.

But the ball arrived, and so did the metal baseball bat.

boom!

Hit.

The ball did not fly out like a home run like Kitahara Takashi's, but flew a distance and quickly landed on the ground, bouncing away.

"You have to learn to conserve your energy. If you swing every ball the way you do, you'll run out of energy very quickly."

Hayasaka Ai handed the bat to Kitahara Takashi and warned him like a teacher who would definitely test him on this question.

In fact, if you look closely at Hayasaka Ai's hands, you will find that her hands are trembling slightly.

Even if the physical strength is the same at 7 points, there is a gap between 7 points.

It's like a fight between a man and a woman. Even if they are of the same weight, they are not necessarily at the same level.

"Come on, give it a try."

Kitahara Takashi looked at her deeply, then stood in the batting position and assumed the same stance as Hayasaka Ai had just done.

He was the type who understood things quickly and was able to imitate Hayasaka Ai's poses after just watching her once.

Whoosh!

There was a sharp sound of wind, and Kitahara Takashi started swinging without waiting for the ball to arrive.

There was no response from the metal baseball bat, and it swung in vain.

'Too fast.'

Kitahara Takashi immediately determined that it was not Hayasaka Ai's teaching that was wrong, but his nerve reflex of 7 points of physical strength made him swing faster.

'Slow down, slow down a little more'

Without waiting for Hayasaka Ai to speak, Kitahara Takashi began to adjust himself and he got into a striking stance again.

Hayasaka Ai, who was about to say something, shut up silently.

Whoosh!

Another ball came flying.

Kitahara Takashi swung the bat again.

The metal bat seemed to tear through space.

Kitahara Takashi swung the bat with all his strength so fast that it disappeared directly from Hayasaka Ai's retina. She could only hear the sharp sound of the wind.

When the bat reappears, the front end of the bat hits the baseball directly.

The baseball seemed to be stuck to the bat for a moment and was completely flattened, but the next moment the baseball turned into a star and quickly disappeared.

In the midday sun, the white baseball flying high in the sky completely lost its rotation, and the leather reflected the light. It really flew high into the sky like a star, and was finally intercepted by the wire cage.

The baseball hit the wire mesh shirt and spun for a while before falling down.

Hayasaka Ai:w (°ｏ°)W.

She had only seen this scene in the comics of "Ace of Diamond".

She never expected that one day she would actually be able to see the real person restored.

“It’s quite stress-relieving.”

Kitahara Tsutomu moved his wrist, he was now confirmed.

The difference between 6 points and 7 points of physical strength is probably the difference between the physical fitness that ordinary people can reach their limit and that of professional athletes.

If it’s like this at 7 o’clock, what about 8 o’clock?

Kitahara Takashi began to look forward to it.

At the same time, he made up his mind that he must make a lot of money from this fireworks festival.

boom!

*

Half an hour later, when Kitahara Takashi could no longer exert any strength, he put down his bat and sat on a chair to rest.

"Give."

Hayasaka Ai handed a bottle of water to Kitahara Takashi.

"Thank you."
