Chapter 484: Tennis 1

Even if no one introduced him, Shishio could tell this cute boy was Totsuka, the boy mentioned by Hikigaya. Still, he must admit this boy didn’t even lose to Ryuunosuke.

However, unlike Ryuunosuke, who often showed an unfriendly expression, Totsuka, this boy showed a cute expression as if he wasn’t a boy at all, especially adding his feminine, soft appearance with his glittering blue eyes, light skin tone, and short silver hair.

If his family name was Kasugano, Shishio would think this boy had a cute twin sister.

Unfortunately, Kasugano was handsome and not cute, so Shishio knew this person didn’t come from the work he imagined.

Shishio somehow wouldn’t be surprised if Hikigaya suddenly told him he was in love with this boy. Still, he would support Hikigaya no matter what.

Hikigaya twitched his lips when Shishio patted his shoulder and gave him thumbs up. He didn’t know what this junior thought, but one thing was for sure, he knew this bastard thought something rude of him.

Still, Shishio didn’t know what Totsuka wanted to request, but since this guy had given him a reward, he would try to help him.

However, Hikigaya was surprised to see Totsuka. “Totsuka?”

“Who?” Shishio asked.

“Totsuka Saika. He’s a classmate of Hikigaya-kun and Yuigama-san,” Yukinosh*ta explained to Shishio quietly.

“Oh.”

Still, Totsuka was surprised to see Shishio since, without a doubt, this guy was a celebrity at this school. However, he was more into Hikigaya, and Shishio didn’t mind that. “Huh? Why are you here?”

“Well, I’m kind of in this club,” Hikigaya said nervously. “Why are you here?” He was quite curious why Totsuka came to this clubroom.

“Well, you know, I’m part of the Service Club too, right? I thought I’d do something for the club. And Sai-chan looked like he needed help, so I brought him here!” Yui excitedly said to all of them with a beaming smile as if she were waiting for praise.

Shishio somehow could see an imaginary tail behind Yui’s butts, showing how excited she was. He felt this girl was like a cute puppy, and somehow he wanted to pet her.

Still, someone suddenly poured cold water on Yui.

“Yuigahama-san.”

“Yukinon, no need to thank me or anything!” Yui said with a smile. “I just did something natural for a member of the club!”

“Yuigahama-san, you aren’t a member of the club,” Yukinosh*ta said.

“………”

“I am not?!” Yui was in shock, and her eyes were in tears.

‘She isn’t?’ 2x

Shishio and Hikigaya thought Yui would naturally become a member of this club, considering how often she came to the club.

However, Yukinosh*ta said otherwise.

“Correct. I never received a letter of intent to join or moderator approval. So you’re not a member.”

“I’ll write a letter of intent right now! I’ll write as many as you want!” Hearing Yukinosh*ta’s words, Yui became desperate and cried.

Yukinosh*ta ignored Yui and looked at Totsuka. “So you’re Totsuka Saika-kun, right?”

Totsuka was quite nervous, but he nodded and came, telling the Service Club what he wanted to ask.

Unlike Hikigaya, Yukinosh*ta agreed to Totsuka’s request without hesitation. “Very good. We have accepted your request. We just need to assist you in improving your technique, correct?”

“Yes.” Totsuka nodded softly.

Shishio looked away since he felt weird, considering how Totsuka grew a strange flower-like aura around him, making him cuter.

“If I get better, everyone else will work harder,” Totsuka explained, why he wanted everyone to train him. “I think.”

Leaving aside how Totsuka asked a group of amateurs to train him, Hikigaya looked at Yukinosh*ta and asked, “So? What are we going to do?”

“Did you forget already?” Yukinosh*ta smiled as if she had found a toy. “I just told you.”

“Hey, you can’t be serious.” Hikigaya had a cold sweat.

While Yui and Totsuka seemed nervous, Shishio just ignored this before his collar was grabbed by Yukinosh*ta.

“You’re going to come with us too,” Yukinosh*ta said.

“……” Shishio.

—

On the tennis court, Shishio didn’t do anything and sat on the bench, watching Yukinosh*ta, who trained Totsuka along with the others. He might have “Tennis Mastery,” but he felt it troublesome to show it, considering Totsuka might approach him and invite him to the tennis club. Moreover, he was afraid Hikigaya would get jealous of him, and he didn’t have a hobby of stealing lovers from his friend.

Really.

Still, it would be different if the girls moved in his direction.

As for Totsuka, even if this guy was cute, his gender was male, so Shishio didn’t have much interest in him. If he had, then Ryuunosuke’s fate was already sealed by him.

Shishio looked at Yukinosh*ta, who held her book while telling Totsuka how to train. It might seem weird why she was the one who trained her, but she came from a wealthy family, and of course, she had received tennis training from a professional in the past.

While Yukinosh*ta pointed at how Totsuka should train, Hikigaya suddenly approached him slowly in a suspicious manner.

“Oga, is what you said true?” Hikigaya asked while looking around as if afraid he was being heard.

“What?” Shishio was confused.

“It’s about how you’ll become popular in the university if you’re good at tennis,” Hikigaya said.

“……” Shishio.

“No.”

Unexpectedly, Yukinosh*ta heard their conversation and answered Hikigaya’s question curtly.

“Why are you here? Also, I am asking Oga, not you!” Hikigaya somehow couldn’t accept Yukinosh*ta’s answer. If someone told him being popular with tennis was someone else, he wouldn’t believe it, but the one who told it was Shishio, so he somehow believed it.

Yukinosh*ta only sighed and said, “Shishio-kun, why don’t you explain to this stupid guy.”

“………” Shishio and Hikigaya.

“It’s true that I don’t think being popular has something to do with tennis or not, but if you’re good at tennis, you might be able to teach women tennis, and it can become part of your charming point, especially when you’re trying to get close to a woman.”

While tennis had nothing to do with whether one was popular or not, having a skill that was better than others was a good thing, and it could become part of the charm of someone.

“Still, Yukino-senpai, you can see how simple a guy is, especially when Hikigaya-senpai asked me whether he could become popular with tennis, so shouldn’t it also apply to other guys? If they’re told they can become popular with tennis, I am sure those guys in the tennis club will have a better motivation.”

After all, the reason why Totsuka wanted them to train him was so he could become strong and he could motivate the other members.

In other words, Totsuka only wanted to motivate the members of the tennis club.

As for the method, no one cared much about it.

“Also, it is Totsuka-senpai who is going to tell those things. You can imagine how those guys will believe in him, like how Hikigaya-senpai is smitten by Totsuka-senpai,” Shishio said with a fact.

“Hmm…” Yukinosh*ta nodded in deep thought.

“……” Hikigaya somehow wanted to beat Shishio up now.

Totsuka happened to hear their conversation, and somehow he was in deep thought.

“Still, it is just advice, and Totsuka-senpai’s request is just to train him, so let’s focus on this matter,” Shishio said.

“That’s true.” Yukinohsita nodded, then looked at Totsuka. “How long are you going to rest?”

“Ye-Yes!” Totsuka was speechless, but he quickly stood up and continued with his training.

Yukinosh*ta looked at Totsuka for a moment before she looked at Shishio. “Are you not going to help?”

“I’m not that good at tennis.” Shishio lied as easy as breathing. “If it’s a martial art, I believe I can make Totsuka-senpai beat a heavy-weight martial artist.”

“…” Hikigaya.

“Well, that’s true.” Yukinosh*ta nodded since she knew how strong Shishio was.

“……” Hikigaya looked at the two, wondering whether they were joking or not. However, he decided not to say anything and thought his decision not to pick a fight against Shishio was right.

While they trained, Shishio was in the middle of thinking, thinking about many things on his mind. It wasn’t until later that Totsuka fell to the ground with his knee scratched that he looked up.

“Ah, Sai-chan, are you alright?” Yui quickly came to Totsuka worriedly.

“I’m fine. Let’s keep going.” With his trembling feet, Totsuka tried to stand up.

“Do you still want to continue?” Yukinosh*ta asked.

“Yes.” Totsuka nodded and said, “You’re all here for me. I want to do as much as I can.”

“I see. Then, Yuigahama-san, I’ll leave the rest to you.” Yukinosh*ta nodded, then left the tennis court.

While Yui was surprised, she nodded.

When Yukinosh*ta left, somehow Totsuka came down and wondered whether he had done something wrong. “Is she tired of me because I can’t get better no matter how many times I train?”

“I don’t think so. After all, Yukinon would never abandon someone who depends on her.

“That’s true. Even your cooking isn’t enough to push her away,” Shishio said.

“What do you do with that?! I got better at cooking!” Yui complained.

“Anyway, you don’t need to worry.” Shishio looked at Totsuka and said, “She’s kind of awkward, and many people often misunderstand her. As for why she is walking out, it’s because she’s going to get a first aid box since your legs are full of scratches now, so it isn’t because she hates you.”

“That’s right! That’s right!” Yui nodded in agreement. “Yukinon is a kind girl!”

Totsuka looked at Shishio, and somehow he understood why this guy could have many girls around him.

“………” Hikigaya and Zaimokuza wondered whether this guy was the ultimate weapon to seduce a woman.

“So, do you want to continue to train, Totsuka-senpai?” Shishio asked.

“Ye-Yes! Let’s continue!” Totsuka nodded without hesitation.

“Then, I’ll help you! Come on, Sai-chan!” Yui said excitedly.

While they were enjoying their youth, suddenly, someone interrupted them.

“Hey, you’re playing tennis! Mind if we play here too?”

Shishio looked at the group of people, and his eyes were quickly attracted to them since some of them were cute.
