"Gulp…"
Sanada Minako swallowed hard.
She had to admit, Hinata Sae was right.
But why was this happening?
Sanada Minako couldn't believe it, couldn't accept it, couldn't tolerate it, couldn't! Just couldn't!
She glared fiercely at Hinata Sae, who was smiling, revealing her small fangs like a little devil. If it were anyone else, she would have rushed up and slapped that bitch right now.
But Hinata Sae was different, not because of their friendship.
It was because if she tried to compete physically with that donkey, she would definitely lose.
"You brat—" Sanada Minako gritted her teeth: "...Don't you dare think about how many people have fallen for you before, don't get cocky!"
"Did that sting your heart, are you planning to show off your past conquests?" Hinata Sae said indifferently: "It's a pity, Minako-chan, Mr. Hayashi praised my tan lines as very sexy~~ Did he ever praise anything about you?"
"…" Tsk, Sanada Minako didn't want to answer and couldn't answer.
In reality, she really couldn't think of any specific compliments Hayato had given her, even though she had shown off her figure in front of him many times. At most, he would glance at her a couple more times, and now he was looking less and less. Sanada Minako didn't understand why he would like a flat-chested person like Hinata Sae…
"…Wait, wait. Hey! You two!"
Nogami Izumi, who had been excluded from the 'war' all along, quickly began to mediate. She said, "Have you ever thought that all of this was actually planned by that scoundrel, Mr. Hayashi…?"
"Shut up!" Sanada Minako retorted furiously, "You woman who was eliminated from the very beginning!!"
Nogami Izumi's pupils suddenly constricted: "…Wh-what?"
Her face instantly turned red, half from shame, half from anger.
…
"Wow, Lin-chan, you're terrible."
The comment came from Nanao Akane.
Hayato was enjoying lunch on the rooftop, with Nanao Akane by his side. The entire conversation they just had was witnessed by the latter.
"You don't need to tell me that," Hayato said indifferently. "And don't mess with my phone. What you just did caused my message to be sent before I finished writing it. That makes it easy to spot flaws."
"Who sends mushy messages to other girls in front of their girlfriend?" Nanao Akane pouted.
"I'm doing Heaven's work here, so would my dear girlfriend please loosen up a little?" Hayato asked.
"Of course…" Nanao Akane wanted to say "it's hard," but before she could, she caught a special word: "'Girl,' 'girlfriend'… Lin-chan, I didn't force you, you said it yourself! I didn't hold a knife to your throat!"
"…Then I misspoke," Hayato said.
"No, once it's said, it's said! Once it's said, it's said!" The repetition twice meant it was very important. Nanao Akane grinned: "Heh, hehehe…"
"Your expression right now looks very much like a potato child named 'Nohara'," Hayato commented.
This time, Nanao Akane quickly reacted: "…Wait, wait, you're not trying to deliberately sweet-talk me into overlooking this world, are you!?
Hayato smiled, "You~ found~ out~~ Eh heh ★~~"
He stuck out his tongue and tapped his temple with a small fist.
Nanao Akane drooled: "Cu-cute… No, don't change the subject."
She looked directly into Hayato's eyes,
"You're lying to them, aren't you?"
"Yes."
"…Then you haven't lied to me, have you?" Nanao Akane was a little suspicious: "Your tricks are a bit too practiced. What if one day I suddenly realize that I'm being lied to too!?"
She was still shaken, and her eyes were moist, as if this matter had already fallen upon her.
"Don't worry," Hayato said with a faint smile, which gave Nanao Akane a sudden sense of security. As she breathed a sigh of relief, Hayato continued, "With your brain, you wouldn't realize it."
"Hey! Don't tell me to relax about something so strange!" Nanao Akane clutched Hayato's sleeve with her jade-like fingertips, looking pitiful like a puppy about to be abandoned.
"Akane," Hayato suddenly said in a very serious tone, his gaze falling downwards.
It fell on Nanao Akane's slightly lowered head. Nanao Akane looked up in response, meeting Hayato's eyes again. For some reason, Nanao Akane felt a hint of... sadness? from Hayato's gaze. Strange...
Hayato's throat rolled: "Is that really how you see me? Is that the kind of man I am in your heart?"
Nanao Akane was startled. She quickly shook her head: "…N-no, I, I didn't… You, don't be sad… You, scold me, but don't be sad… I was talking nonsense, I was talking Nonsense, I'm an idiot…"
She was on the verge of tears, her delicate fingertips turning red from clenching.
Then Hayato's gaze retracted freely, and he chuckled, "That's me lying to you."
Nanao Akane's round eyes stared blankly for a moment before she finally realized something, and she raised her small fist, letting it fall onto Hayato's chest: "I'm hitting you!"
"I never said that to you." Hayato didn't mind Nanao Akane's fist landing. Akane, who was originally in a sports club, actually didn't have much strength in her hands at all. Naturally, it could also be said that she was reluctant to use much strength. "So I didn't lie to you," Hayato said.
Nanao Akane tried to recall.
Indeed, the young man in front of her had always been as sarcastic as possible… He wouldn't lie like that.
"W-well, I'll believe you for now," Nanao Akane said, puffing out her cheeks.
"Mm."
Hayato checked the time on his phone: "It's still early. Lie down for a bit."
Saying that, he hugged Nanao Akane in his arms like a pillow, and then the two of them lay down on the rooftop together.
Nanao Akane had been experiencing this kind of blissful attack frequently lately, so she had no intention of resisting. It was just…
She rolled her clear blue eyes again and said, "You sent messages to other girls in front of me… I want compensation."
"Hmm… What?" Hayato was already half-closing his eyes.
"A kiss."
"Smooch."
"You… a k-kiss on the lips, not on the cheek."
"Smooch."
"…You, you didn't even stick out your tongue…"
Nanao Akane complained softly, and Hayato sighed.
"Mmm, mmm… mmm… mm…"
Nanao Akane enjoyed the pleasure of suffocation.
As their tongues wrestled, her breathing became more rapid.
She was lost in it.
But Hayato, while skillfully moving his oral organs, opened his phone and sent and received the latest messages.
