Chapter 10: Are you a Cat Slave?
But it was undeniable that when Akane Nanao thought of the scene where he saved her from Coach Tougou, especially the confrontation with him,
Her heart skipped a beat.
At that moment, there was a feeling of a heartbeat...
'No, no, what am I thinking? I like Shou-kun.'
Shaking her head violently, she shook it all out of her head.
Shouya Katase also scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed.
"That's right, it seems I misunderstood."
"We just met yesterday, but although we haven't known each other for a long time, Mu Kun is a very powerful and interesting boy."
Akane Nanao said with a smile,
"Thanks to his help, I can..."
"In short, he and I are already very good friends now; let me introduce you next time."
"A good friend,"
But Akane Nanao didn't know that after hearing what she had just thought so unilaterally.
Katase Shouya's heartache that he had just let go returned,
Although Akane explained that she and Mu Xiaoxiao were just friends.
but...seeing the smile on her face, this bright smile
As long as Mu Xiaoxiao is mentioned, she will show this expression.
It will inevitably make him think wildly.
Are they really just friends?
Why are you so familiar after only two days of acquaintance, Akane?
"By the way, Shou Kun,
Are you and Coach Tougou very close?"
Talking about this matter, Akane Nanao couldn't help but get serious,
"He often looks for you."
"Coach Tougou is the supervisor of the baseball department.
Of course, we would be close.
What are you talking about?"
"He...is not a good person, Shou-kun; you'd better stay away from him."
Akane Nanao said seriously,
She was now at the height of her vigilance toward Tougou.
"Akane, why are you saying that?"
"Coach Tougou is an important member of our baseball club.
He is not only responsible for training but also for all kinds of things.
Why do you want to keep me away from him?
You should know that my goal is to become the main player of the baseball club."
Katase Shouya was also a little angry, and he spoke with a questioning tone.
Originally, he would not get angry so easily, but now he was in a bad mood.
"Shou-Kun... I know your dream, but...you don't know his true face at all.
Aftter he found us in the warehouse yesterday, because he was after me he..
That person... has bad intentions toward me!"
"Impossible!"
Katase Shouya's first reaction was disbelief.
"Coach Tougou stopped us for the sake of the baseball club."
"This is the club's rule, isn't it?"
"He is also doing it for the good of the baseball club!
It must be Akane; you have misunderstood!"
Sometimes it is difficult to change the preconceived first impression, especially since Katase Shouya already has a grudge against Akane Nanao and Mu Xiaoxiao.
"Shou Kun, you don't know what happened yesterday.
If Mu Kun hadn't saved me, I would have been raped by that scum."
"Akane!
You are saying all this just because of that Mu Xiaoxiao, right?"
Hearing this, Katase Shouya was also very upset.
"Because he had a conflict with Coach Tougou, did he speak against him?"
"Shou Kun..."
"What did you say?"
That coach Tougou is not a good person?
I also think that Mu Xiaoxiao is not a good person.
If that's the case, why don't you cut off contact with him?!"
What?
Taking a step back,
Akane Nanao looked at the boy in front of her in disbelief, the boy she liked,
Her face turned pale and bloodless.
She mustered up the courage to tell Shou Kun, hoping that he could protect her.
But she never thought that this would be the result, that he would actually stand by Tougou's side.
"Shou-Kun, you... you don't believe me?"
The teenage girl was hit.
"I..."
Seeing the girl's flushed eyes, his heart softened.
"I believe you, but I don't believe that person; you must have been bewitched by him!"
"I will ask Coach Tougou about this matter!"
Ask him.
Will he tell the truth?
Why is Shou Kun so naive?
Akane Nanao could already guess the result; she bit her lip and silently watched Katase Shoya's resolute back as he turned and left; her body fell weakly on the tree trunk, and her nose was sore.
The girl doesn't want to go back to the baseball club, let alone see Coach Tougou.
She squeezed the hat in her hand and walked in the opposite direction.
_______________
"Come on, circle around—"
"Meow~"
Mu Xiaoxiao squatted in the open space and stretched out his fingers, commanding Luna.
"upright--"
"Meow~"
"Kick-"
"Meow~"
After getting along for a while, the cat can understand these simple commands, probably because she is very smart.
"Next, let's do something more difficult."
Mu Xiaoxiao said with a chuckle, hooking his finger,
"Let's do some push-ups."
"Meow?"
"No? "What about pull-ups?"
He stretched out his arms.
"Meow?"
"Okay, there is always a time to walk upside down."
"..."
The little black cat was full of question marks: what's the matter with this owner?
'Eveb if you want to let me do such weird things; don't force me to do anything!'
"Tsk, Luna, your body is so weak; you need more exercise; you can't slack off, do you understand?"
cluck——
After Nanao Akane and Katase Shouya also separated, she wandered around in a daze, only to see Mu Xiaoxiao squatting, not knowing what he was doing.
After approaching quietly, she found that he seemed to be immersed in playing with the cat and didn't notice her.
Seeing this scene, she couldn't help laughing.
The chuckle was loud, and even her depressed mood improved a lot.
"..."
Why is it you again?
Mu Xiaoxiao turned back with a slumped face and said nothing.
But the meaning in his eyes was this:
Although he knew that she would participate in club activities, this place is quite far from the playground, so how can she meet him there?
'She won't really pester me, will she?'
"What a coincidence, Mu Kun, although I really wanted to say that."
Akane Nanao wiped her eyes and smiled,
"Sure enough, you stayed here on purpose to wait for me, right?"
"???"
"Although you refused to go to the baseball club with me before, you still care about me."
"???"
"Im here to practice skills. Who the fuck is waiting for you?"
His mind cracked open.
What's going on with this girl'
'Do you want to be so narcissistic
Believe it or not, I will give you a punch?'
"Is that so?"
"Am I really misunderstanding?"
Akane Nanao blushed and said stiffly,
"Who knows if it's true or not... But I didn't expect you to tease cats here,
Mu Kun; you still have such a side."
"Could it be that you are a cat slave?"
"..."
