This kind of thing, Hikari also couldn't force them.
After all, for opening a big party kind of thing, a forced melon really isn't sweet, if it's just to quench thirst, then drinking Yukino's deep winter water is enough.
For opening a big party with many girls gathering and such, it still needs them to be willing, needs mutual cooperation to work.
Originally, Hikari was thinking, separately to Natsuha and the three gyaru, individually during the time of preaching, receiving liquid, resolving doubts, and remedial lessons, properly educate them a round.
Probably after educating for one or two months, even if they don't obey, they must obey.
At that time, as long as there's one big group party, there will definitely be the second and third time.
And once the number of times increases, relationships definitely will get closer.
Hmm, Hikari mainly wanted Natsuha and the three gyaru to ease their relationships, not because he himself was curious about what a five or six some big party experience is like.
But what Hikari didn't expect was.
Natsuha and the three gyaru, at this moment, would actually jointly propose, under the condition of him having a baseball match with Takanashi Kou, to open a six-some.
This really is like sending a pillow when dozing off, no, this is too sinister.
After inwardly despising Natsuha and the three gyaru for a moment, Hikari agreed to Takanashi Kou's sparring request.
"Alright, then let's have a baseball sparring," Hearing Hikari agreed to himself, Takanashi Kou immediately showed a happy expression.
"Hikari-kun, please wait a moment, I'll go get you a baseball bat!"
Speaking politely about helping Hikari fetch the essential equipment for playing baseball, such as the bat and helmet, Takanashi Kou instead walked toward the baseball team practicing not far away.
Takanashi Kou naturally wasn't really that enthusiastic, still going personally to fetch a baseball bat and such for Hikari before sparring.
His real idea, actually, was to call over the baseball team's other members and coaches to come watch.
The reason he sought Hikari for sparring was to win against the other, to prove to those beautiful girls around Hikari that he is stronger than Hikari.
And such a scene of proving how excellent he is, while stepping on Hikari, naturally Takanashi Kou felt the more audience, the better.
Watching Takanashi Kou running toward that group of baseball players, Hikari slightly shook his head, a bit helpless.
Takanashi Kou's little thoughts, he naturally could see at a glance, this guy really has a lot of unnecessary tricks.
Hikari, by relying only on his far-superior-to-ordinary-people's physique, made it almost impossible for Takanashi Kou to have any chance of winning, even if it's his self-proclaimed best baseball.
Moreover, Hikari previously had drawn a grandmaster-level baseball skill, just that he himself had little interest in baseball, so he hadn't played.
If really playing, Takanashi Kou, who boasted of being the ace of the baseball club but actually hadn't even been to Koshien, even a hundred of him together couldn't be his opponent.
Sparring baseball with Takanashi Kou, actually is almost like playing house, without any challenge, naturally also not interesting.
Hikari originally planned to finish early, then take Natsuha and Rui and the three gyaru home for a little gathering, opening a small party or something.
Unexpectedly, Takanashi Kou still had quite a few little thoughts.
But since this guy wanted so much to perform, just accompany him to play then.
"Hikari-kun, have you ever played baseball? Can you beat that guy?", Hamaki Reina came close to Hikari and asked.
"Yeah, it seems like I haven't seen Hikari-kun play baseball before," Natsuha also blinked and said to Hikari.
"You all don't even know whether I can play baseball, yet you're egging me on to spar skills with the ace of the baseball club, right," Hearing them, Hikari was speechless and amused, casually caught one of the five girls' little faces and started pinching.
"Eh eh eh... although we haven't seen Hikari-kun play baseball, we have seen Hikari-kun's physical fitness! With Hikari-kun's speed of piling three or four hundred times a minute, Ruri believes Hikari-kun will definitely win," Ruri, who was just caught by Hikari and had her face pinched, hurriedly said.
"Right, Hikari-kun, you must win against that Takanashi Kou. That guy gives me a very annoying feeling, he's super disgusting, Hikari-kun must win! I believe in Hikari-kun," Akane also said beside.
"Alright," Hearing Akane's words full of trust, Hikari also smiled and patted her head.
And Akane also showed a very pleased expression, squinting her eyes.
Hikari, however, didn't know, that fanning the flames for him to accept Takanashi Kou's baseball sparring, was first suggested and most contributed by Akane.
Besides Akane being excited for Hikari opening a five or six some big party.
More importantly, Akane wanted her good best friend Tachibana Yui to see how excellent Hikari truly is.
Akane had already thought it through, no matter what, she had to make best friend Tachibana Yui leave that Takanashi Kou guy.
And if she could join her camp, to be with Hikari-kun... hss, thinking of her best friend and her beloved glued together's scene, Akane got so excited she clamped her legs...

[On the Other Side]
Tachibana Yui also saw that, before starting baseball sparring with Hikari, Takanashi Kou went to call over a dozen people as audience.
Seeing this scene, Tachibana Yui showed a trace of worry.
She didn't know why her childhood friend Takanashi Kou seemed to have a lot of hostility towards Hikari.
Regarding this baseball sparring, Tachibana Yui naturally thought Takanashi Kou would easily win.
After all, Takanashi Kou was the recognized ace of the baseball club, an excellent baseball player who had a chance to enter Koshien.
And Hikari, except for being handsome, Tachibana Yui didn't see anything special.
But, after all, Hikari was her good best friend Akane's boyfriend.
If during the baseball match, Takanashi Kou beat Hikari too miserably, that wouldn't be too good either.
Thinking this, Tachibana Yui immediately ran toward Takanashi Kou.
"Yui-chan?", Just having pulled over a dozen people to watch, planning to make Hikari lose face in front of more people to prove his excellence, Takanashi Kou curiously watched his childhood friend who suddenly ran over.
"Yui-chan, what's the matter?", Takanashi Kou asked, seeing Tachibana Yui hesitating to speak.
"Takanashi-kun, um... when you spar baseball with Hikari-kun later, can you go easy on him?" Tachibana Yui said to Takanashi Kou.
"Eh?", Hearing this, Takanashi Kou immediately widened his eyes, looking at his childhood friend in disbelief.
Tachibana Yui hurriedly explained, "I know Hikari-kun definitely can't beat you in baseball, Takanashi-kun you are our baseball club's ace. But, after all, Hikari-kun is Akane's boyfriend. If he loses too badly, Akane would feel bad too..."
Hearing Tachibana Yui's words, Takanashi Kou immediately understood.
He understood that Tachibana Yui was asking him, when winning, to consider saving Hikari's face, and let him off a bit.
But the reason he sought Hikari for sparring was precisely to suppress that good-for-nothing playboy who had nothing but looks, to show off his baseball club ace's kingly aura, how could he agree.
Although thinking like this inside, facing his childhood friend, Takanashi Kou still nodded and agreed, "Mm, I'll go easy on that guy a bit, won't make him lose too badly..."
After speaking, Takanashi Kou hurriedly walked toward the baseball field.
Being childhood friends, Tachibana Yui could slightly see that Takanashi Kou was saying one thing and meaning another.
She sighed, turned around, and looked toward Hikari.
Only to see Hikari standing at the center of the baseball field, surrounded by not just Akane, but also three or four pretty girls.
Seeing this scene, Tachibana Yui couldn't help clenching her small pink fists, "Hikari-kun, this guy really is..."
"Akane..."
Although Tachibana Yui had long heard that Hikari was a frivolous man, hearing was different from seeing.
Now seeing Hikari surrounded by charming girls, Tachibana Yui's eyes couldn't help but flash with a trace of disgust.
As a teenage girl, she couldn't accept such blatant two-timing frivolous behavior.
And thinking that her good best friend Akane was among them, Tachibana Yui felt even angrier, "Sigh, hope Takanashi-kun defeating Hikari can also wake Akane's love-blinded brain..."
Those other girls surrounding Hikari, Tachibana Yui actually didn't care, since that was others' business.
But seeing her good best friend seemingly falling headlong in love, stuck by a five-timer frivolous guy, Tachibana Yui really couldn't bear it.
Tachibana Yui really couldn't understand, was Hikari really that good, aside from being a bit handsome, what else was good enough to make so many girls swarm him.
Looking at Akane massaging Hikari's shoulders and wiping his sweat, Tachibana Yui couldn't help but shake her head, "In this lifetime, I will definitely never be with this kind of playboy."

"Hikari-kun, catch!"
Standing on the baseball field, Hikari saw Takanashi Kou throw over a baseball, himself holding a bat.
"Hikari-kun, shall we start sparring now?", Takanashi Kou smiled and asked Hikari.
"Sure, but how do you plan to compare, play a baseball game?", Hikari asked.
"Uh... playing a full baseball game takes too much time, and with many people, it mainly tests teamwork, not achieving the sparring effect," Takanashi Kou shook his head.
"Then how do you plan to spar?"
Takanashi Kou quickly explained, "I want us two as the main, simply spar a bit."
"Rules are very simple, each of us acts as pitcher and pitches three times. Meanwhile each of us acts as batter three times."
"Finally, just see who hits more home runs."
"Whoever has more, wins, okay?"
Hikari nodded, "Alright, but what if it's a tie?"
Hearing Hikari's words, Takanashi Kou couldn't help laughing out loud, "Haha, I think it won't be a tie, Hikari-kun, don't you think?"
Looking at Takanashi Kou's full confidence, Hikari also slightly smiled, "I think so too."
Seeing Hikari's always calm face, Takanashi Kou collected his smile, "Then, Hikari-kun, you be pitcher first, how about it?"
"Alright," Hikari shrugged, showing indifference.
Seeing Hikari put on the pitcher glove and stand ready with the baseball, Takanashi Kou quickly moved to the batter's position.
Watching Hikari's back, Takanashi Kou's eyes couldn't help but flash with a hint of excitement.
His performance opportunity was finally here.
As the baseball club's ace, Takanashi Kou was naturally extremely confident in his baseball skills.
In Takanashi Kou's view, Hikari, this good-for-nothing who only had looks, would definitely be overwhelmed by his baseball skills.
And as long as he showcased his superb ball skills, he could absolutely make Akane and others be impressed, leave Hikari, and come into his arms.
To suppress Hikari, Takanashi Kou even specially called over the baseball team members and coach to watch, intending to make Hikari lose utterly and be thoroughly humiliated.
"Takanashi-kun, do your best!"
"Takanashi-kun, don't shame our baseball club!"
Cheering voices came from the stands.
All from the baseball club members.
"Hikari-kun, do your best!"
"Hikari-kun, defeat that so-called baseball club ace!"
"We sisters all believe in you!"
Several clear female voices broke the cheering for Takanashi Kou.
Hearing these pleasant female voices cheering for Hikari.
Takanashi Kou glanced at Natsuha and Akane among the five girls on the stands, his heart sour.
And not only Takanashi Kou.
The other baseball club members present also felt sour.
When they were first called over by Takanashi Kou, they scoffed at this sparring.
Thought Takanashi Kou was bullying people, since he was a semi-professional, comparing with an unknown non-professional was meaningless.
They only came because of Takanashi Kou's ace status.
But when they arrived and saw Ruri and the five beautiful girls surrounding Hikari...
