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

Kamikawa Nari's heartbeat was extremely simple, like the faint sound of flowers blooming, or the shadow cast by leaves falling on a boy's face.

There is no love in Kitahara Takashi's world, only gains and losses.

And Kamikawa Nari's love for him has no personal gain or loss.

"I don't want anyone else except you."

Kitahara Takashi lowered his eyes slightly, looked at Kamikawa Nari, gently stroked her face and said: "I am very poor now, not completely broke, but almost."

"I can't afford a house or a car. Even if you gave me a luxury car, I still can't afford the daily maintenance and gas."

"I can't support your expenses."

"It takes me a long time to save up the money you spend on one shopping trip."

“But I” “Shh, you heard me.”

Before Kamikawa Nari could finish her words, Kitahara Takashi put his thin index finger on her lips.

"I know you don't mind suffering with me, but I don't want the girl who follows me to suffer."

"If being with me means lowering your quality of life, I'd rather we never be together."

Girls can be ignorant, but men cannot.

Kamikawa Nari's heart darkened, but her eyes remained stubborn, as if to say: I won't give up.

That's the kind of girl she is.

If you want something, you must find a way to get it.

"You think I'll reject you again?"

Kitahara Tsunta understood what Kamikawa Nari was thinking. He scratched her nose lightly with his index finger and said, "If, I mean if."

"If you still like me on the day we graduate from high school, then we'll get married."

"You still have a choice during this period. If you like someone else, tell me and I will definitely not pester you."

Kitahara Takashi never believed that love would come to him.

He thought he was sober and always believed that those who believed this were fools.

But if the other person is Kamikawa Nari, he doesn't mind being a fool for once.

Kitahara Takashi likes Yozakura Hitomi and also likes Kawana Rie.

If it's the male protagonist of a Japanese comic, choose one of the two.

But Kitahara no Takashi is different.

He wanted it all.

Of course, he would never say such words.

"Ok, I will wait for you."

The two looked at each other and felt each other's hot breath.

Nari Kamikawa slowly closed her eyes, and her soft cherry blossom-colored lips became more and more attractive.

In the closed locker room, Kitahara Takashi hugged her and kissed her.

*

In Tokyo, in a building that soars into the sky.

Yozakura Hitomi, who watched the entire process through the tablet, put down her expression and smiled with satisfaction.

He is indeed the man she likes and never lets her down.

"It's time to start."

Putting down the tablet, she gave orders to her men.

Kitahara Takashi is here on the front line, so let's leave the despicable shopping mall to her.

That afternoon, before the Koshien competition ended, a report titled "Greatness Comes from a Brave Beginning" became the top trending search at an astonishing speed and was pushed to every mobile phone user.

Hoshino Ai, who had sneaked away with Kamiki Hikaru to watch a football game at Hanshin Koshien, sneaked back to the hotel. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Saito Ichigo sitting in his room, looking at him expressionlessly.

"Love, where have you been today?"

Hoshino Ai touched her head awkwardly: "Let's go out and play."

"Going out to play? I think you went to watch Kitahara Takashi's match."

Saito Ichigohei held up a photo of herself appearing on the court, her expression serious.

"I'm sorry, agent, I'm not..."

It was the first time that Hoshino Ai saw Saito Ichigo so serious. She was a little scared and worried that he would cause trouble for Kitahara Takashi, so she prepared to tell the truth.

However, who knew that Saito Ichigo would smile like a chrysanthemum the next second and pat her shoulder heavily: "You did a great job."

"what?"

"We've been able to take advantage of this incredible traffic."

Saito Ichigoro's teeth are almost showing.

Kitahara Takashi is now the traffic password.

Haven’t you seen the Yukinoshita family in neighboring Chiba Prefecture? Because of a photo of her having dinner with Kitahara Takashi, Yukinoshita has now won the seat of the second councilor in Chiba Prefecture?

Saito Ichigo saw it all and was worried.

He also wants to take advantage of this huge amount of traffic.

Now that we have this photo, there is more room for discussion.

"Tell me honestly, do you know Kitahara Takashi?"

"So we know each other."

"Get ready. We're going to interview him tomorrow."

"Hey, don't we have a schedule tomorrow?"

“It’s already been turned down.”

Do you want to see him again?

When Hoshino Ai thought of the bad guy who made her call him "Dad!", the corners of her lips slightly raised.

*

At the same time, Nakano Ichika also received a call from her agent.

"Let me interview Kitahara Takashi?"

Standing on the balcony, Yihua said in surprise.

"Well, Ichika, this is your chance."

Nakano Ichika looked at Nakano Yotsuba with an embarrassed look on her face: "But..."

In this way, wouldn't I have to snatch another important person from Yotsuba?

Once when I was a child, and now it’s happening again.

Nakano Ichika felt a little bit sorry.

When Yihua wanted to give up, a sentence from the other end of the phone made her hesitate.

"Yika, you don't want to be just a supporting role for the rest of your life, do you?"

Nakano Ichika: "...I understand."

Yotsuba, I'm sorry.

this is the last time!

Chapter 218 Tokyo Beta King.

On the day when Kitahara Takashi led Private Aoba to the quarterfinals, reports about him dominated the headlines of sports and entertainment websites and newspapers the next day.

The last time Kitahara Takashi was reported on such a large scale was last time.

"All greatness begins with a brave beginning."

The future star of island baseball.

The strongest pitcher in Koshien's 100-year history.

"A genius who doesn't even dare to draw manga, a being that surpasses Shohei Otani."

The number of likes, comments, and reposts for these news items about Kitahara Takashi has skyrocketed.

【JanDEasy】: After watching yesterday's game, I still think the anime is conservative.

【Shu Ke 721025898479】: Which anime dares to shoot like this? Let’s see if the audience will criticize it or not.

【1621】: Genius is just the threshold to meeting Kitahara Takashi.

[Flying Salted Fish]: Many people don't understand the significance of a 166km/h ball speed. Let me put it this way: according to the Guinness Book of World Records, the fastest baseball speed is 169km/h.

[Savage Heart]: What the above person said is right. You players who watch the game on TV or the Internet may not know how fast the ball is going. I was at the scene and I couldn't see the ball at all.

[Tan Ziqian will win]: I'm betting all my happy beans on Qingye to win the championship! Who's going with me?

【西落A】: Go, go, go. If you lose, see you on the rooftop. If you win, see you at the venue.

[Orange Cat Friend]: No, buddy, is there a plate for this too?

[Shu Ke 721025898479]: Yes, but ordinary people just can’t find where to place bets.

……

In the breakfast room, Kitahara Takashi was eating breakfast while reading netizens' comments.

Compared with the negative news and negative materials last time, this time Kitahara Takashi received all praise and compliments.

It seems like it has been a long time since he was exposed as a scumbag.

But in fact, this happened just a few days ago.

Kitahara Takashi couldn't help but sigh at the terrifying power of the media.

Nowadays, people have no ability to discern the authenticity of news. They believe whatever the media says.

Whatever tens of thousands of media accounts say is what it is. Just like if I say you are not good one day, no one will go and dig up whether you have had a good life in the past.

If you want to find fault with someone, there is plenty of negative material, and black and white are just under the keyboard of a marketing account.

Even if there are one or two sober comments occasionally, they will be drowned out by the mainstream.

"Junior Kitahara, are you full?"

Anaijiryu also came over and asked.

"Well, what happened, Senior?"

Kitahara Takashi put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a tissue.

"The coach wants us to go to Kobe High School."

Beiyuan Zun frowned when he heard this: "Didn't I ask for leave?"

Compared to training, Kitahara Takashi feels that he needs rest more now.

After pitching nine and a half innings yesterday, Kitahara's arm is still sore.

He doesn't want to joke with his health.

As a matter of course, he skipped today's team training.

Kensuke Amatani also agreed.

Why are you calling me over now?

Seeing Kitahara Takashi's dissatisfaction, Anai Ryu also hurriedly said: "It's like this, mainly because there are reporters who want to interview you."
