Chapter 36 It was just that Shirakawa Yuta wanted to chase me.
A clear, cool yet familiar voice rang out from behind Kurosaki Takeshi.
Without even thinking, Kurosaki Takeshi instinctively replied, "Of course..."
Halfway through his sentence, Kurosaki suddenly realized that the voice he had just heard sounded familiar, even the tone of his voice was so familiar.
Seeing the smug smile on Shirakawa Yuta's face, Kurosaki Takeshi panicked even more. He was now almost 100% certain that the person behind him was that person, the one he least wanted to see right now.
He forced himself not to turn around and hurriedly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Of course... no! Captain Hoshino is the best captain in the world. She's beautiful, kind, and generous, and always willing to help others. She's incredibly patient with the newcomers to the kendo club and teaches them so well!"
"Oh, so what's with that bruise on your skin?"
"I was just distracted when Captain Hoshino was teaching me. It's kendo, so bumps and bruises are normal."
"Oh? Is that so? Isn't this Hoshino Tsukizuru's deliberate revenge?"
"Of course not, it's because my skills are lacking!"
"That……"
Hearing that the other party was going to continue asking questions, Kurosaki Takeshi finally couldn't take it anymore, turned around, and bowed deeply to Hoshino Tsukigen.
He said fervently, "Minister, I know I was wrong, please punish me!"
"snort!"
Hoshino Tsukigen snorted coldly and strode over to the two people watching the commotion.
Yuta Shirakawa stepped forward with a smile and greeted the other person: "Good afternoon, Captain Hoshino."
Hoshino Tsukigen rolled her eyes at him and snorted coldly: "You're no better. Since he dared to say that to your face, you two must have talked about it a lot in private."
Yuta Shirakawa touched his nose, saying nothing and offering no rebuttal.
Because what the other party said is true!
Who told them to be punished the most last semester?
Hoshino Tsukizuru stopped next to Takahashi Masako, who smiled and hugged Hoshino Tsukizuru's arm, her full breasts pressing into an arc.
Yuta Shirakawa, who was watching from the side, was very envious.
Masako Takahashi, oblivious to Yuta Shirakawa's gaze, tiptoed and whispered in Hoshino Tsukizuru's ear, "It doesn't look too good for Captain Hoshino in the kendo club."
Hoshino Tsukigen couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Hmph, who cares about the opinions of the weak?"
Masako Takahashi chuckled twice and stopped teasing her friend.
She was afraid that if she continued talking, the other person would pinch her cheeks. She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Shirakawa Yuta.
On the other side, after seeing Hoshino Tsukizuru walk to Takahashi Masako's side, Kurosaki Goji also moved closer to Shirakawa Yuta, clenching his fist as if to punch him.
However, Shirakawa Yuta had anticipated this. With a quick dodge, he easily avoided Kurosaki Takeshi's attack while simultaneously reaching out to stop Kurosaki's hand from continuing the attack.
Kurosaki Tsuyoshi tried to lift him, but failed. Puzzled, he asked, "How come you're so strong now? Did you secretly train?"
Yuta Shirakawa raised his hand, showing off his bulging biceps, and said smugly, "Do you even know what it means to have superhuman strength?!"
Kurosaki Tsuyoshi didn't say anything, but he felt that he was increasingly unable to understand his friend.
The group of four headed toward the nearest Capcom store.
Because the number of applicants far exceeded Capcom's expectations, Capcom immediately lifted the registration restrictions.
He turned all his directly operated arcade stores into competition venues, starting a "championship" mode where anyone could participate.
Over the next three days, as long as you remain in the champion's position and win five consecutive BO1 matches, you can directly advance to the next round.
Furthermore, the prize money that Shirakawa Yuta was most concerned about has also changed. The doubling is still continuing, but the prize money only starts after winning five BO1 matches, starting directly at 200 yen.
When the four of them arrived, the arcade was unusually lively.
Six machines used for the competition were back-to-back in the center of the arena, separated by a fence. There were many chairs around them, but every seat was occupied.
As for the others who didn't get a chair, they all stood behind the chair area and watched the battle together.
Yuta Shirakawa and his three companions found an opening and squeezed inside. Although there were still no seats, they were fortunate to be at the very front of the line, where their view was largely unobstructed.
Two people, one fat and one thin, were sitting on the machine directly in front of them. The thinner one was even wearing the uniform of Mingde Private School.
Upon seeing the familiar mulberry leaf school badge, Shirakawa Yuta unconsciously raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Hoshino Tsukigen.
Hoshino Tsukizuru was a little confused at first, but she realized what was going on after seeing the familiar school uniform on the stage.
With a dark expression, he glared at Shirakawa Yuta and said, "Were you just blaming me for being late?"
Of course, Shirakawa Yuta couldn't admit to this somewhat fatal problem. Instead, he turned to the side and carefully examined Hoshino Tsukigami's outfit for the day before whispering to her:
"How could that be? I just think you look pretty today."
Yuta Shirakawa wasn't lying. Hoshino Tsukigami was wearing an ice-blue silk short tank top with a thin sun-protective cardigan on top. Her long hair was neatly tied into a low ponytail, exuding a youthful charm.
Hoshino Tsukizuru paused, glared at Shirakawa Yuta, but then her eyes lit up when she saw Takahashi Masako.
Looking at Shirakawa Yuta again, he lowered his head and said in a low, slightly mischievous voice:
"Aren't you afraid I'll tell Masako about this?"
Hearing this, Shirakawa Yuta pouted. He and Takahashi Masako had no relationship, well, at least not yet, so what was he afraid of?
Moreover, even if he were to let her speak, based on his understanding of Masako Takahashi, her rabbit-like nature might not be able to understand her.
However, this also piqued Shirakawa Yuta's curiosity. After thinking it over carefully, he realized that no matter what, he should be able to handle the consequences.
He gave Hoshino Tsukizuru a wicked smile, as if he had discovered something new to amuse him, then turned around and shouted at Takahashi Masako, who was watching the game:
"Masako, Captain Hoshino has something to say to you."
"what?"
Masako Takahashi turned around somewhat bewildered, glanced at Yuta Shirakawa, and then looked at Tsukizo Hoshino, who was also somewhat confused.
After realizing what was happening, Hoshino Tsukigen immediately looked at Shirakawa Yuta in shock.
WTF, are you serious?
Yuta Shirakawa shrugged, giving him a "you figure it out" look.
Hoshino Tsukigen suddenly laughed, a laugh that made Shirakawa Yuta feel uneasy. He suddenly regretted his provocation.
Hoshino Tsukizuru: "Oh, it's nothing. It's just that Shirakawa Yuta said I looked really good today and wanted to pursue me."
