After seeing his childhood friend Tachibana Yui leave, Takanashi Kou turned his head and poured a glass of water. After drinking a few sips, he slowly walked out of the baseball club's office.
While walking, he was also thinking.
'Just now I really was a bit impulsive. It's all because of that guy Hikari flirting with Akane right in front of me.'
"Sigh, the words I just said probably made Akane-chan's impression of me much worse…", Takanashi Kou sighed, but now it was too late for regrets.
He could only find a way to make up for it.
Takanashi Kou thought for a moment and decided to go find Akane to apologize and ease the relationship first.
Then look for an opportunity, see if he could find a chance to dig into Hikari's corner, and snatch back Akane, whom he had long considered as his.
Thinking of this, Takanashi Kou quickly walked toward the baseball field.
But when he arrived at the baseball field and saw the scene inside, Takanashi Kou was completely stunned.
Because at this moment in the baseball field, besides the Hikari he now quite disliked and the Akane he constantly thought about, there were also four extremely beautiful girls.
Natsuha, Reina, Ruri, and Yukina, these four beautiful girls, each with a different style, were all full of youthful energy, with delicate faces and explosive figures.
Plus Akane, the image of these five top-tier beauties gathered together was simply a stunningly bright scene.
And what made Takanashi Kou grit his teeth was, at this moment, these five beautiful girls were all surrounding one man.
Surrounded by the five beautiful girls was none other than the Hikari he had just spoken badly of out of jealousy.
'Good grief!'
'So this pretty-boy with a good-looking face is not only involved with Akane, but also surrounded by so many beautiful girls at the same time?'
This scene would truly make most men feel envy, jealousy, and hatred.
And Takanashi Kou, looking at this scene, nearly ground his teeth to dust.
He had never heard of the name Hikari before, but he himself, Takanashi Kou, was the ace of the school's baseball team.
'Why, why can a nobody like Hikari be surrounded by so many beauties?'
'While I, Takanashi Kou, only has a childhood friend with whom I haven't even held hands?'
Thinking of this, Takanashi Kou instantly felt sour, his heart extremely unbalanced.
Aside from looks, where he admittedly lost by just a little, Takanashi Kou believed he was much better than Hikari in every other aspect.
After all, he was a potential ace who could lead the team to Koshien, and yet he hadn't received such attention from so many beauties. Why should Hikari?
The scene before him was really hard for Takanashi Kou to understand.
"Wait a minute," Takanashi Kou's eyes lit up, a sudden idea popped into his head.
Maybe, it's not that he wasn't good enough, but that his excellence hadn't been shown.
When there are no heroes, the mediocre gain fame.
Those scumbags often aren't lacking girlfriends and are surrounded by beauties, precisely because they know how to show off.
But he, Takanashi Kou, being the honest type, just didn't know how to express himself, so others didn't know.
As long as he showed off his excellence as an ace baseball player—
He would definitely be able to attract these beauties who were only momentarily blinded by Hikari's looks.
Let them fall in love with him. This truly worthy, truly excellent, high-quality man.
After "figuring it out," Takanashi Kou couldn't contain his excitement and quickly ran into the baseball field.
At this time, Tachibana Yui, who was also at the baseball field, noticed Takanashi Kou walking over quickly.
Tachibana Yui immediately asked in confusion, "Kou-kun, what are you doing?"
Takanashi Kou didn't answer his childhood friend. Instead, he quickly walked toward Akane.
Akane coldly looked at Takanashi Kou approaching and frowned, asking, "What do you want?"
Because of Takanashi Kou's sudden appearance, Hikari, who had been playing baseball with Natsuha and the three gyaru, also stopped his actions.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Takanashi Kou first shyly rubbed his bald head, putting on an honest expression, and said with a slightly apologetic look to Akane, "Nanao-san, what I said in front of you just now was really my fault."
Then Takanashi Kou turned to Hikari and said, "Hikari-kun, I seem to have misunderstood you earlier. Fortunately, Nanao-san reminded me and resolved the misunderstanding. I hope you're not mad."
"And I just saw your baseball playing. Pretty impressive! I got fired up just watching! I want to spar with you in baseball skills, is that okay?"
Hearing this, and seeing the cheerful smile on Takanashi Kou's face as he rubbed his shiny bald head, Hikari raised an eyebrow slightly.
And next to him, Akane and Natsuha, as well as the three gyaru, all had slightly strange expressions.
After staying by Hikari's side for a while, Natsuha and Akane had regained a good portion of their intelligence, even becoming sharper than before.
Plus, the onlookers see clearly.
Although Takanashi Kou thought he was showing a sunny and upright desire to spar with Hikari. Akane, Natsuha, and the three gyaru had already noticed how Takanashi Kou, while talking to Hikari, kept sneaking glances at them.
Also, Takanashi Kou's lips had been curved in a deliberately "handsome" smile, which actually looked rather gross.
The five girls, Akane and the others, could all see through Takanashi Kou's thoughts: he wanted to challenge Hikari to a manly duel and use that to attract their attention.
Akane, Natsuha, and the three gyaru were all speechless.
They couldn't understand where Takanashi Kou's confidence came from.
This guy didn't even consider, how could he possibly compare to Hikari? No matter what, they couldn't possibly be interested in this guy.
But even though they weren't interested, seeing Takanashi Kou acting like such a clown, Akane's eyes turned slightly as she had a bit of an idea.
She turned her head and exchanged glances with Natsuha and the three gyaru, and suddenly all five girls smiled in unison with a mutual understanding.
Hearing the girls' sweet laughter, Takanashi Kou thought his request had caught their attention. He immediately revealed a smile he thought was charming and again rubbed his bald head in a simple and honest way.
Next to him, Hikari was somewhat speechless at Takanashi Kou's antics.
Since Akane and the others could see through it, of course Hikari could also see what Takanashi Kou was up to.
Hikari didn't want to spar in baseball with such an overconfident clown, so he calmly said, "I haven't really played baseball before, so as for sparring…"
Hikari had only gotten halfway through his rejection before he was suddenly interrupted.
"Play with him! Hikari-kun!", Natsuha suddenly shouted.
"Yeah! Come on, Hikari-kun, spar with him!", said Reina.
"Play with him, Hikari-kun! Ruri believes in you!", Ruri also suddenly chimed in.
"Come on!"
"Hikari-kun, go for it!"
As Hikari was about to refuse Takanashi Kou's sparring request, Akane and the five beautiful girls around him all cheered him on, encouraging him to accept, clearly egging him on.
Hearing their cheers, Takanashi Kou immediately became excited.
'Sure enough, my courage has made these beautiful girls see me in a new light! Hmph, I knew it. I, as the baseball team's ace, still has charm!'
Hikari, on the other hand, who had seen through Natsuha and the others' coaxing, was a bit speechless.
He didn't understand why they were all so keen on encouraging him, but he wasn't the type to obey everything a woman says. No way he'd agree just because they told him to.
So while facing the overly excited Takanashi Kou, whose face had even turned red, Hikari just waved his hand, ready to refuse directly.
But just then, Natsuha and Ruri, who were standing on either side of Hikari, suddenly leaned in.
Natsuha whispered into his left ear.
Ruri whispered into his right ear.
Warm breaths flowed from their pink lips, tickling Hikari's ears, along with a few sentences that entered his ears.
After hearing it, Hikari's eyes instantly lit up, and he quickly asked the two girls, "What you said. Is it true? Really?"
Natsuha and Ruri had both experienced a lot with Hikari, including group chaos. But even now their pretty faces blushed a little.
The two beautiful girls shyly lowered their heads and replied softly.
"Of… of course."
"W-We'll do what we said!"
Hikari immediately turned to Takanashi Kou and smiled, "Alright, then let's spar in baseball."
Hearing Hikari's words, Takanashi Kou was overjoyed and didn't sense anything unusual.
Standing nearby, childhood friend Tachibana Yui did notice something.
She had just noticed that Hikari initially seemed unwilling to accept the sparring challenge, he even looked like he was about to refuse.
But after Natsuha and Ruri whispered to him, he agreed immediately.
Clearly, the change in Hikari's attitude was closely tied to what those two girls had said.
'Just what did those two say to Hikari?'
At this moment, Tachibana Yui's heart felt itchy, as if scratched by a cat, she was extremely curious.
Meanwhile, Hikari, who had accepted the bat from Takanashi Kou and was preparing for a baseball spar, also smiled slightly.
In fact, what Natsuha and Ruri had said to him was very simple:
They agreed.
As long as Hikari won this spar against Takanashi Kou, then Natsuha, Akane, Ruri, and the three gyaru, five girls in total, would put aside their differences and join Hikari in hosting a grand six-some party.
Yep.
With the condition of a six-some party, Hikari agreed to their request and decided to casually play a few rounds of baseball with the clown Takanashi Kou.
After all, playing some poker(Seggs) with five beautiful girls, sounded fun. Hikari found it hard to say no.
A man's happiness is sometimes just that simple…
Seeing that after he decided to agree to spar in baseball with Takanashi Kou, Natsuha, Akane, and the three gyaru all showed a bit of blushing shyness, Hikari also smiled slightly.
Although at this time whether it was Natsuha or Akane, or the three gyaru, they were already considered very obedient to Hikari.
After all, once a teacher(Seggs teacher) for a day, a father for life. Under Hikari's selfless teaching, all five of them had called him daddy, and usually when they were together with Hikari, they would also behave obediently like daughters.
It was the kind that if Hikari patted their butts, they would obediently lie down or slowly sit down.
However, a woman's nature is to be jealous.
These beautiful girls, who were already naturally beautiful, loved getting jealous even more.
After all, everyone was very pretty, with very good figures, so naturally no one would accept being lesser than anyone else, except for Akane.
So even during the previous parties where the three gyaru participated together, they would still secretly compete with and be jealous of each other.
Not to mention now, with Akane and Natsuha added to the mix.
Although now Hikari's support team had quite a few members, and each was very obedient to him, there were still small cliques among them.
Ruri and the three gyaru were naturally one group.
And to counter Ruri and the others, Natsuha and Akane, who occasionally cooperated to receive Hikari's guidance, could also be considered one group.
If just now it had been Hikari himself who suggested letting these two groups of five beautiful girls come together to hold a big party, to close the distance between each other and build better relations, they definitely would not have been willing.
After all, not long ago, Natsuha and Ruri had just had a quarrel, and it was expected there would still be jealousy.
