Yukino started brainstorming, and after eliminating Shiina Mahiru, faces flashed before her eyes one by one.
Eriri, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Hiratsuka Shizuka...
It seems like anyone could be the possibility, but ultimately there is a lack of crucial evidence.
Yukino gave up thinking and looked at Natsume Rin: "But now it seems that your relationship with your girlfriend has improved a lot, and you have actually given up the idea of being a scumbag."
"It hasn't gotten better." Natsume Rin emphasized this point.
He just thought that his status with Yang Nuo would change, but the relationship had not yet improved to that extent.
"I just feel that I can't keep hiding it forever, so I might as well speak out openly. I used to be worried..."
"I didn't tell her that you're a scumbag." Yukino said calmly, placing her hands in front of her pleated skirt and slowly walking towards the section of the overpass.
The sound of regular footsteps rang in Natsume Rin's ears.
"what?"
"I just told her that the two of you are impossible. As for what Shiina-san will think, I don't know."
Hiding the question about Natsume Rin, Yukino still maintained the initiative.
"…Can't you just do it in one go? It's so uncomfortable to be stuck in the middle like this." Natsume Rin caught up with her.
"The trouble that I caused should be solved by sacrificing myself, don't you think so, Natsume-san?"
When they arrived at the downstairs of the apartment building, Yukinoshita Yukino gave him a beautiful malicious smile.
"Come on, I believe you can survive."
Chapter 122 Female Hooligan
On the day of the sports festival, the entire Sobu High School was in a state of excitement. Under the scorching sun, the athletes on the 100-meter race track wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
"Come on, Natsume-kun!"
Listening to the cheers and encouragement from the stage, Natsume Rin could feel the hostile eyes of her opponents. She wanted to smile bitterly, but a stern expression appeared on her face.
"Everyone is in your place!"
The referee raised the starting gun and blew the whistle loudly. Then, with a gunshot, the prepared athletes rushed out like the wind.
"Natsume, come on!"
The seat on the far right of the stage is the territory of the third graders. Kasumigaoka Utaha waved a small flag in her hand and cheered enthusiastically for Natsume Rin. The classmates who were familiar with her or not were very confused about her behavior.
When did Kasumigaoka-san start to care about the sports meet?
"Oooo!"
She didn't care about other people's eyes. After a few seconds, when she saw Natsume Rin was the first to cross the finish line, she almost jumped up and cheered.
This is the man that Kasumigaoka Utaha admires!
Natsume Rin wiped the sweat from her forehead, recalled her planned schedule, and prepared to participate in the next sport.
Because the sports festival was very tight, the three of them had very tight schedules, and at least in the morning, they wouldn't be able to see each other's games.
Just as he was about to go to the court, he didn't notice the figure rushing towards him from the audience. When he noticed it, Kasumigaoka Utaha almost pounced on him.
"Stop it, what are you doing!"
Natsume Rin stepped in in time to stop her from jumping up and hugging herself. This was not a corner. With so many people watching, if a collision really happened, it would spread throughout the school in a few hours.
"That's right, we have to keep our affairs secret."
The out-of-control Kasumigaoka Utaha's face flushed red, not sure if it was due to the intense exercise or excessive excitement, but after failing to pull Natsume Rin's arm, she gritted her teeth in unwillingness.
"…Senior, please don't use words that may cause misunderstandings. I still have to go to the stadium. Bye."
The group of guys who were losing were looking at this side unwillingly. They really had no idea how Natsume Rin managed to be handsome, have excellent grades and outrun the members of the sports club at the same time.
What’s even more outrageous is that it seems that more and more girls are involved with him.
"Let's go together. I don't want to sit here in the sun anymore anyway." Kasumigaoka Utaha rushed to the stadium early in the morning just to watch Natsume's game. When she saw he was about to leave, she hurried over to him.
"I don't run this school, so of course I can't restrict your activities, senior, but please be careful." Natsume Rin sighed.
I've seen many ways of pursuing women, but I can't stop this kind of female hooligan.
Or should I tell her that I have a girlfriend?
A new idea emerged in Natsume Rin's mind, and the more she thought about it, the more appropriate it seemed. The senior shouldn't be so fanatical.
"I understand." Kasumigaoka Utaha pinched her hair and followed him to speak aggrievedly: "Although you like me in your heart, in order to maintain your single image, you not only have to reject my initiative with tears, but also in front of the public..."
"If you get sick again, you'd better go back and sit under the sun." Natsume Rin waved her hand expressionlessly, and finally this strange senior calmed down.
Do all older women have strange habits?
……
At noon, Kasumigaoka Utaha reluctantly returned to her classroom, and Natsume Rin dragged her tired body slowly to the service club. When she lay down on the soft sofa, she felt that her whole soul was purified.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the credit of the archangel who stood in front of him and prepared herbal tea for him.
"How many did you get?" Natsume Rin propped himself up and half sat up, calculating today's harvest in his mind.
"Three." "Four."
They answered one after another, and the minister, who was slightly inferior, drank his tea calmly and lowered his head to study the schedule for this afternoon.
"Looks like I won, five!"
The victorious Natsume Rin's cheers were weak, but everything else was fine, except that he was squeezed pretty hard in the team sports for the class.
Especially in order to protect the thin Ayaka Totsuka, the number of flagrant fouls he received was comparable to the number of medals he won today.
"Tennis, dodgeball, and Aikido, the games I'm good at are basically all gone." After calculating over and over again, Yukino felt that there was no way she could surpass Shiina Mahiru, so her tone became a little low.
Especially after watching the women's marathon in the afternoon, she knew without even having to think that Shiina Mahiru had an absolute advantage.
"I still have a marathon, but after this, the official competition will be over." Shiina Mahiru said with a smile, "Xiaoxue, don't worry too much about the outcome of the competition this time. There will be many entertainment competitions later. It should be normal to be overtaken by the medals by then."
Of course, at a sports festival, there can't only be competitive events. After both men and women finish the marathon, the rest of the time is for entertainment competitions that everyone can participate in.
It has not been announced yet, but according to last year’s charter, it is very likely that anyone who wants to participate can participate, and there is no high threshold for multiplayer sports.
"I've also taken entertainment events into account, so I can be sure that we will be the club with the most trophies." Yukino stretched and looked at Shiina Mahiru's sincere face.
"With the wisdom of the three of us, no matter what the game is, there is a reason to win."
Natsume Rin was very upset when she heard her say that. How could she show off her intelligence in a sports event? Couldn't she consider Hawking's feelings?
"I just hope that the entertainment competition can make everyone happy." Mahiru said with a smile.
The days of the sports festival were far less joyful than those of the campus festival. Many students with weak physical strength were unable to participate, and the most pitiful were those unlucky ones who were forced to participate because of class activities.
"Hehe, losers can't be happy. Wait until I finish the marathon this afternoon and I will completely wipe out the smiles on their faces." Natsume Rin stood up and spoke in a childish tone, but was suppressed onto the sofa by the contemptuous gazes of the two people in the room.
Alas, why can't I get to this point?
It was exactly as he said. When the marathon was over, there was no smile on the face of the winners, losers, or those who dropped out halfway.
But what happened next was beyond the imagination of normal people.
Kasumigaoka Utaha was wearing sunglasses and holding a big loudspeaker in her hand, announcing the events of this year's entertainment competition in the middle of the playground.
"The flying chess melee will begin in half an hour!"
Chapter 123: The Game of the Brave
Flying chess brawl?
The name alone was enough to get everyone on the playground talking, especially when they saw someone herding students on the lawn and laying things on it, their curiosity was aroused.
Standing in the center, Kasumigaoka Utaha held the microphone in her hand and explained the rules of the competition, making everyone excited.
"It's actually real flying chess." Natsume Rin was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that this event would come up with such a routine.
"Jumanji?" Yukinoshita Yukino thought of a movie similar to the one introduced.
The plot of the movie is that two little boys start a flying chess game, and in the end their home is sent into space, and real events will happen depending on the options on the flying chess. This game feels very similar to this.
The only question is how much realism can be simulated.
"It sounds interesting, Natsume, let's be an adventurer!" Shiina Mahiru's eyes flashed with interest, and she encouraged Natsume Rin to go into battle herself.
After all, it's not like in the movies where you can just stay in one place and all kinds of things will happen. Moreover, this event requires the participation of many people. According to senior sister Kasumigaoka, the rules are very different.
"Participating teams need to send an adventurer to the competition venue. Different conditions will be triggered based on the number of steps of the strategist's dice. The team that reaches the finish line first wins."
"Finally, I would like to remind everyone that adventurers should be those with better physical strength." Kasumigaoka Utaha said mysteriously, making everyone alert.
This flying chess melee is indeed not as simple as it seems.
"They might really want to punish you, Natsume, are you going to take part?" Yukino silently considered the rules in her mind and looked up at Natsume Rin.
Natsume Rin looked at the two girls beside her and felt that this kind of question was nonsense.
"Minister, who else could it be but me?"
"Shiina-san is also fine. She is very good at sports and at least she won't lose out in competition."
Shiina Mahiru shook her head frantically. She was still waiting to see Natsume's performance, so how could she possibly snatch such an opportunity to perform.
"Xiaoxue, let Natsume go!"
"Well, I'll go find the senior to sign up and ask about the rules. You should get ready here first."
In just a few words, the task was assigned and completed. While other departments were still arguing over the adventurer, who was obviously the most interesting role, Natsume Rin had already found a track to warm up.
The ground was gradually covered with four colors of flying chess pieces, which could accommodate about a dozen teams to participate in the competition. From his perspective, he could not see the events on the paper.
Half an hour later, everyone gathered around the starting point, and as the points were cast one by one, some people started to set off.
"Buyer, hurry up." Natsume Rin urged her. The person walking in front was judging the incident, which made him a little jealous.
"666."
Yukino muttered numbers and threw the dice in her hand. After seeing the huge dot, she covered her face and didn't want to speak.
"You have such bad luck, let Shiina come!" Natsume Rin took a big step forward, and immediately someone came over to report the incident.
