Not long after the senior went in, Yukino, who was originally inside, was driven out. She sat on the sofa, and when she felt there was nothing to do, she went back to the bedroom. When she came out again, she was holding a book in her hands.
"As expected of you, you are the minister. You love learning so much." Natsume Rin said admiringly.
"Well, that's good to know." Yukino flipped through the pages of the book and deliberately showed him the cover.
It was the gift he gave to Yukino on her birthday. Didn’t he say he had already read the encyclopedia?
"I've written down the content." Xueno seemed to be able to guess what he was thinking, and explained, "But the pictures are very interesting, so I'll flip through them a few times when I'm bored."
Natsume Rin stood up and peeked down, and found that the content remained in the animal area, showing that it was as expected.
Yukinoshita-san, I still can’t resist cute animals!
"Your smile is so disgusting, and I don't like animals!" Yukino tried to argue.
"You just like cats? How about I give you one? It seems that Miss Yuanzi has posted on WeChat Moments that she wants to give you a kitten."
"No... huh? It's not impossible."
When she heard the following words halfway through her speech, Yukino immediately changed her tone.
Chapter 239: Battle!
Now that I've dealt with Yukino, who simply can't resist cute animals, life has suddenly become easier again.
A dozen days is enough time for them to adapt to the pace here, especially since this pace is very relaxing.
The afternoon sun fell into the living room. Mahiru Shiina was lying on a bench reading a book, stroking her cheek that was illuminated by the sun.
"Natsume, do you want to go out and play ball?"
"Play ball?" Natsume Rin, who was chatting with Totsuka and the others, looked up.
"Volleyball, tennis, or something else is fine. We can't just stay here and do nothing." She twisted her waist, and it seemed that she had been lying there for too long and wanted to find some fun.
"Then let's play volleyball." Natsume Rin clapped her hands and agreed.
There is still some time before the time he wants to confess his feelings, so at this time, he should try his best to meet Shiina's requirements and strive to get the maximum favorability of 1,000.
This is certainly not a game world, and he can't see the favorability rating above Shiina Mahiru's head, but the change in their intimacy is clearly visible.
"Is there anyone else who wants to go?" Shiina Mahiru found the racket in the house and looked at the two people lying on the sofa.
Kasumigaoka Utaha was clearly reluctant, as she had no great interest in sports. Yukino, on the other hand, put down what she was doing and stretched her joints to prepare for action.
As a physically weak person in the past, what she was most proud of in sports was her great skills in ball games.
Although this power can only last for more than ten minutes.
She has been practicing morning jogging very diligently recently, and thinks she has escaped the ranks of physically weaklings, so she plans to completely defeat Natsume Rin in tennis.
"You all have to go."
Seeing that everyone started to change clothes, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had originally not intended to move, looked at the sunlight outside the window. Although she was not sleepy, she still crawled and moved.
"Senior, the purpose of vacation is to have fun, not to stay in your room and get fat." Natsume Rin, who originally intended to stay here for a few days, began to lecture her seriously.
"But I'm not very good at playing, so I'll be the referee," she shouted in the room.
There are four people, three on the court and one as the referee, which is indeed a relatively reasonable arrangement.
Natsume Rin did not continue to dwell on this matter. After changing into a black sportswear, she walked out of the room wearing a hat.
The two female athletes came out one after another.
The tight sportswear top highlighted the outline of her chest, and the knee-length tennis skirt revealed two white beautiful legs. Natsume Rin looked at her a few more times, and Shiina Mahiru blushed and pulled up her top, trying hard not to show her belly.
"If you look at him again, hit him." Yukinoshita Yukino encouraged her.
"Yukinoshita-san, this is too violent." Natsume Rin held the racket and waited for the referee to appear.
"To deal with a scumbag, you have to resort to violence." Yukino looked at him with a smile.
"But Shiina-san doesn't seem to have any objections."
"But do you think I'm a fool? Do you dare to say that you didn't peek at me?" She gripped the racket threateningly.
"Uh...senpai, let's go."
Natsume Rin whistled, and when she saw the senior student in black uniform appear, she immediately hummed a song and walked in front to lead the way.
Shiina Mahiru laughed happily. It is always so easy for boys to be brave or retreat.
But peeking at other girls is not a good habit.
The tennis court was on a lawn not far away. There were not many people there in the afternoon. A few shouts could be heard from the shade of the trees nearby, and birds were singing overhead.
The two girls came on stage first. Kasumigaoka Utaha took out a whistle and gave orders in a very professional manner, while Natsume Rin stood by and watched them.
Shiina Mahiru has always had an absolute advantage in sports, and she was full of confidence this time. When her initial attack failed to achieve the desired effect, she immediately changed her strategy and relied on defense to consume Yukino's physical strength.
The result was that when she was knocked off the field, Yukinoshita Yukino's breathing was still steady.
"Xiaoxue, you've become stronger." Shiina Mahiru flexed her wrists and admitted defeat willingly.
She thought her tennis skills were not bad, but she looked so immature in front of Yukino.
Could it be that he put all his energy into this kind of skill-testing sport because he didn't have good physical strength?
"Hehe." Yukinoshita Yukino's smile hadn't finished yet, and she was distracted by the evil laughter. Seeing Natsume Rin's confident look, she said unhappily, "It seems you're not convinced either."
"Defeating Shiina-san is nothing. Next, you will face me, the great devil Natsume. Failure will be your only outcome." Natsume Rin waved his racket handsomely and jumped up at the edge of the net provocatively.
Shiina Mahiru, who was sitting in the audience, also cooperated and cheered him on. Hearing her cheers, Natsume Rin became even more excited.
Staring at Yukinoshita Yukino's calm face, Natsume Rin leaned against the net: "Yukinoshita-san, how about we redefine the rules?"
"You say." She didn't seem to be affected.
"As long as you score a goal against me, I lose." Natsume Rin said proudly, patting his chest.
"And then what?" Yukinoshita Yukino asked back.
"Ok?"
"Are there no other restrictions?" The girl frowned in confusion.
"Of course not. This is the confidence of the great devil Natsume. Otherwise, you would have no chance of winning." He looked straight at Yukino and said in a proud tone.
"it is good."
The moment she finished speaking, without even waiting for the referee to announce the start, Yukinoshita Yukino jumped up and hit an extremely difficult spinning ball. Looking at the trajectory of the ball, a smug smile appeared on her pretty, calm face.
Just when she thought she had won, Kasumigaoka Utaha was about to step out to maintain order and Shiina Mahiru was stretching her body, Natsume Rin caught the ball and hit it back in a posture that no normal person could imagine.
"Yukinoshita-san, this little trick won't work on me!"
Looking at the boy who jumped into the air and swung the racket hard, Yukinoshita Yukino felt the wind brought by the tennis ball passing by her face, and she gripped the racket tightly, feeling unprecedented excitement.
Although she is so strong that she doesn't look like a human, the more powerful she is, the more motivated she becomes.
"Come again!"
"Come again!"
"Come again!"
……
"not coming……"
After all, high morale could not beat reality, because Natsume Rin, who was infected by her enthusiasm, showed no mercy. After trying her best to make her run around, Yukino's physical strength could not continue without losing a single ball.
"What a shame. If I had fought you directly, I might have been able to hold out a little longer." Yukino sighed as she sat on the chair next to her and drank some water.
"It's my turn next?" Shiina Mahiru, who had rested for a long time, pointed at her nose, and after confirming it, she pouted and said, "Please go easy on me."
Chapter 240: I am ashamed of my present
With Shiina Mahiru's prior explanation, the style of the painting suddenly changed from passionate sports back to the slow pace of young love. Natsume Rin was not in a hurry to break through, and Shiina Mahiru didn't think about winning, and the two of them played a tender and sweet game of match-fixing.
Seeing them like this, Yukinoshita Yukino's eyelids twitched, and she wished she could grab Shiina Mahiru's wrist and attack.
The pressure she exerted off the court was too great, and in the end she couldn't continue playing this game. Natsume Rin could only exert a little effort to eliminate Shiina Mahiru.
The two girls discussed on the chairs for a few minutes, and finally shook hands in tacit agreement. Under his surprised eyes, they walked up to him at the same time with rackets in their hands.
"Referee, I want to protest!" Natsume Rin raised her hand.
"The protest is invalid, but contestant Shiina and contestant Yukinoshita, what are you planning to do?" Kasumigaoka Utaha blew the whistle and made a fair judgment.
If someone were to hit someone, she, as the referee, would definitely not sit idly by.
"It's only fair that there are two of us and we beat him alone." Yukino wiped her nose and said the most outrageous words in the most serious tone.
What's even more outrageous is that after thinking about it for a while, Kasumigaoka Utaha actually nodded and admitted it: "It seems to be like that, does Natsume have any objection?"
Facing the same gazes from the three girls, he dared not object. He silently picked up the ball with an extremely confident expression on his face.
"With your level, I'm not afraid even if there are a hundred of you!"
Cool!
Natsume Rin, who had pretended to be cool but did not run away, was just about to show his strong confidence in the face of the two aggressive beauties, but the opponents had already hit the ball, shouting that it was unethical. However, he still started playing with Shiina and the others.
……
After half an hour.
Natsume Rin sat on the ground, refusing to get up: "I'm so tired, you guys cheated."
Shiina Mahiru encouraged him with a smile, and at the same time denied his complaints of cheating: "Nonsense, even if you ask Kasumigaoka-senpai, we are aboveboard."
Two against one can be called fair and square, and Natsume Rin feels that there is no need for rules to exist anymore.
But these are all small matters. The problem is that these two people agreed to defend their own half of the area and refused to attack no matter what. In the end, it was Natsume Rin who couldn't hold on any longer.
"You lost anyway, so get ready to go back." Yukino announced in a victorious tone.
Natsume Rin shrugged, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and was helped up by her senior. They played until dusk, then walked along the path in the woods and returned to the villa.
After dinner, the few of them tacitly did not leave. They sat in the living room, listening to the TV, each busy with their work.
"What should we do in the evening?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked the question while watching TV.
