"You can't even handle this small matter, and you still have the nerve to call me?"
"I'll arrange for you to transfer to another school and deposit five hundred thousand yen into your account. This is the best I can do for you."
"One last warning: if you dare to reveal that I was the one who told you to target Hoshino Jun to my sister…",
"You can forget about living a good life in Tokyo ever again."
After he finished speaking, only the busy signal of "beep-beep" remained on the phone.
Takasaki Yusuke wasn't even given a chance to speak.
The weather was overcast today, with clouds filling the sky, making his already unpleasant mood even more somber.
His planned scheme had failed, his beautiful girlfriend was ignoring him, and his close friends had completely broken off ties.
And today, he had hoped that even if he hadn't achieved anything, his hard work would count for something, and he wanted Yamada Tsukasa, the student council president, to plead his case with Yamada Kaoru.
But who knew, Yamada Tsukasa had no intention of helping, and the five hundred thousand yen he gave was probably just a final hush money.
They would have no further contact.
His dream of riding Yamada Tsukasa's express train to become a winner in life was completely shattered.
"Sigh~!"
Takasaki Yusuke let out a long sigh and slammed his fist heavily against the wall.
"All of this is because of that damn Hoshino Jun."
"Hoshino Jun, why couldn't you just wait obediently to be expelled and complete my success?"
"Why do you have to stand in my way, you damned bastard!"
His ideals and friendships were gone, and the outcome of his love was still unknown.
Staring blankly at the ceiling, Takasaki Yusuke pulled out his phone and sent a message to his girlfriend, Kato Nana.
"Nana, are you there?"
Still no response.
Kato Nana seemed to genuinely dislike Takasaki Yusuke now; from yesterday until now, she hadn't spoken to him for exactly twenty hours and thirty-one minutes.
Takasaki Yusuke really wanted to go directly across the street to find Kato Nana, but he was afraid that Kato Nana would get even angrier.
He could break up with Takayanagi, he could not get help from Yamada Tsukasa, but Kato Nana, Takasaki Yusuke really couldn't bear to lose her.
"Once I get the five hundred thousand yen, I'll buy a cake for Nana."
"Nana loves sweets the most."
Once a person's bad luck starts, it seems to be endless.
Takasaki Yusuke was just thinking about which cake shop to buy a cake for Kato Nana, when the next second, a familiar figure appeared outside his room window.
Hoshino Jun!
He was even smiling and waving at him.
"baka!"
Takasaki Yusuke cursed, throwing the pen on the table at the wall.
'How does this bastard know where I live?'
'What is he doing here?'
Opening the window, Takasaki Yusuke frowned and looked coldly at Hoshino Jun, asking, "Hoshino Jun, what are you doing here?"
Hoshino Jun was always an honest child, so when someone asked a question, he naturally chose to answer truthfully.
"Kato Nana."
Hmm?
Although he didn't understand what Hoshino Jun was saying, Takasaki Yusuke was annoyed when he heard him say his girlfriend's name.
"Why are you looking for Nana?"
Oh, as expected of Takasaki-kun, he's quite clever.
You guessed it.
Hoshino Jun nodded repeatedly, answering, "Yes, yes!"
???
A series of question marks appeared in his mind; Takasaki Yusuke completely failed to understand what Hoshino Jun was saying.
"Bastard, our grievances have nothing to do with Nana."
"If you dare to cause trouble for Nana, even if I transfer schools, I won't let you off."
Takasaki Yusuke's gaze was fierce, and his tone carried a hint of threat.
Listening to his words, Hoshino Jun smiled with satisfaction.
[Ding!]
[Detected malicious threat from Takasaki Yusuke!]
[Choose not to pursue, and you will receive a C-rank Friendship Debt.]
Takasaki-kun is truly kind.
Even though he was about to transfer schools, he was still so actively trying to give Hoshino Jun money.
Of course, Hoshino Jun had to accept his kind intentions.
'System, forgive the kind Takasaki-kun!'
[After judgment, Takasaki Yusuke is unable to repay this Friendship Debt, and the debt has been automatically transferred to his girlfriend, "Kato Nana."]
"Bastard, what are you laughing at? What's so funny? I'm warning you, I'm not joking."
Takasaki Yusuke said, "If I find out you dare to cause trouble for Nana, I will definitely come for you."
A defeated dog always acts fiercely.
But in reality, the fiercer he acted, the less deterrent he posed to Hoshino Jun.
A dog that bites doesn't bark, but Takasaki-kun barked a lot.
"Mm-hmm, I definitely won't go looking for trouble with Nana." Hoshino Jun looked very troubled.
Seeing Hoshino Jun's obedient and cowardly demeanor, Takasaki Yusuke spat, muttering to himself, he never thought he would lose to such a person.
He was really unwilling!
However, just then, Hoshino Jun slowly put his hands in his pockets and grinned.
The dim light of the overcast day fell on Hoshino Jun's face, and for some reason, looking at this handsome face, Takasaki Yusuke on the second floor suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
"Takasaki-kun, I'll listen to you."
Hoshino Jun said with a bright smile:
"But what if Nana comes looking for me?"
"Nana is a girl, and she cares about her pride, so I can't very well refuse her invitation, can I?"
The tone of his words and the expression on his face were too ambiguous.
It sounded as if Hoshino Jun was telling Takasaki Yusuke that his girlfriend, Kato Nana, had an extraordinary relationship with Hoshino Jun.
Takasaki Yusuke suddenly remembered what Takayanagi had said yesterday about Kato Nana and Hoshino Jun having something going on.
He was instantly furious.
"You bastard, you're the one spreading rumors, aren't you!"
"Now you're trying to sow discord again. I'm telling you, I've seen through your little tricks."
Takasaki Yusuke snorted coldly, leaned out of the window, and stared coldly at Hoshino Jun:
"Nana and I have been childhood sweethearts for over ten years. Do you think a little trick like this can shake our relationship?"
"You might as well go home, wash up, and go to bed early, baka yarou!"
Hoshino Jun smiled, saying nothing.
Another day of gains!
[Ding!]
[Detected malicious insult from Takasaki Yusuke!]
[Choose not to pursue, and you will receive a C-rank Friendship Debt.]
I won't pursue it.
He will naturally suffer.
[After judgment, Takasaki Yusuke is unable to repay this Friendship Debt, and the debt has been automatically transferred to his girlfriend, "Kato Nana."]
Hoshino Jun kept smiling.
Takasaki Yusuke hated that expression of his, feeling as if the other person was looking at him like a clown when he looked at him like that.
Full of disdain and contempt.
As if he had never taken him seriously.
"Bastard, get lost quickly, stop being an eyesore in front of my house!"
Takasaki Yusuke, a bit annoyed, shooed him away.
Hoshino Jun shook his head, took out his phone, and pointed to the yard across the street: "Listen carefully, look closely."
"Playing tricks!"
Takasaki Yusuke spat disdainfully, wanting to go downstairs to personally chase him away, but what happened next made him freeze on the spot, his face changing dramatically.
Across the road, from the Kato House house, a cute girl wearing a sky-blue sailor uniform and a pleated mini-skirt opened the door and walked out.
Then, upon seeing Hoshino-kun, she directly ran over in her black leather shoes.
"Hoshino-kun, you've been waiting a long time, haven't you?"
After crossing the road, Kato Nana directly linked arms with Hoshino-kun, her smile sweet and syrupy.
She seemed to have even put on makeup specially.
It was a beauty Takasaki Yusuke had never seen before.
And that very beauty, right in front of Takasaki Yusuke, was given to another man.
"Nana."
