90 Chapter 89 : Sharp-tongued Nazuna-san

heat on top of that, I'm probably a pretty scary sight right now, like someone who could kill a person if you looked at me the wrong way. At a time like this, I receive an email.

Nazuna: Jin-kun, are you free now? Sorry for inviting you out of the blue 🙇‍♂️ I just really wanted to see you.

It seems Asahina-senpai invited me to hang out. But I'm feeling a bit sluggish now, and I think my attitude might worsen, so I decline.

Jin: Sorry, I'm not feeling well today, so I can't make it.

Immediately, the message is marked as read and a reply is sent.

Nazuna: I see, sorry 😅 It's okay... Take care of yourself, okay?

With her saying that, I suddenly feel guilty. It's the worst thing for a guy to make a girl sad. Well, I can't judge others, but since she invited me, maybe I should go after all.

Jin: Oh, wait, I think I'm starting to feel better. Where should I head?

Nazuna: Really!? Then I'll be waiting at Keyaki Mall!

I keep to myself the thought that everyone at this school seems to only go to Keyaki Mall. I quickly take a shower, put on a loose-fitting light pink T-shirt, jeans, and white low-cut sneakers, and head out.

Since it's hot, I decide not to walk and take the bus instead. When I arrive and look around in front of the pet shop, it seems like Asahina-senpai is searching for someone, probably me.

Jin: I'm here.

Nazuna: Huh, where?

"It's over here!"

When I call out from behind, she shows a surprised expression and then smiles gently. Ah! Senpai looks super cute today.

Asahina-senpai's outfit today is a yellow knee-length skirt with a short-sleeved white T-shirt and beige sandals, a very adult-like outfit that's adorable. 

"Jin-kun, your outfit looks cool///"

"Nazuna-san, you look beautiful too. I like it."

"Huh!?///"

Asahina-senpai blushes and makes a strange noise. How cute.

As we discuss where to go next, Asahina-senpai says she wants to go to the nearby pet shop, so we head there.

Inside glass cases, there are various breeds of dogs and cats, from Western breeds like Toy Poodles and Maltese to larger breeds like Labradors and Huskies.

Among the cats are American Shorthairs, Scottish Folds, and Maine Coons, indicating that it's quite a large store.

"Hey, this one's cute!"

"Yeah, it is!"

Among them, we spot a Shiba Inu. Since I love Shiba Inus, I gaze at it, and it returns my gaze. It's so cute.

"Jin-kun, don't you want to hold this one?"

"Well, since we're here... Hey?"

Asahina-senpai calls a clerk over, and they take the Shiba Inu out of the glass case and hand it to me.

"Wow, this one's adorable. Come here."

As I say this, the Shiba Inu toddles over to me. Wow, I want a dog.

"Hehe, don't let it lick you too much."

Shiba Inu licks my hand, and Asahina-senpai, seeing me playing with it, takes out her smartphone and starts taking continuous photos with an intense look on her face.

"Hey, what are you doing, Nazuna-san?"

"No, it's just... I feel like I've never seen something this nice before, and seeing a cool guy playing with a dog is really nice."

She seems really scary. Her pupils are dilated. Is she actually kind of dangerous? The dog looks scared too.

"Come on, it's okay."

I gently stroke the Shiba Inu's head, and it closes its eyes as if falling asleep. Shiba Inus are the best.

"Jin-kun, this could sell."

"True, this dog is cute."

"No, no, I mean a photo of you and the dog. I could sell it for 1000 yen per shot..."

"Hey, stop that, you idiot."

"Haha/// That cool side of you is great///"

She suddenly seems broken. After interacting with various animals, we leave the pet shop.

As we walk aimlessly through the mall, something unpleasant catches our eye. Yes, it's Nagumo.

"Hey, Nazuna, on a date with your beloved Horagasaki?"

Nagumo exudes a mocking atmosphere, accompanied by five or six friends giggling around him. I really want to punch him in the face.

"Yah... It's none of your business, right?"

"You can't catch him, huh? Don't say that. If you hang out with Horagasaki, you'll just end up suffering, you know?"

"Shut up... It's my freedom."

"What are you saying? I'm just thinking about your well-being."

"Shut up! Stop interfering!... Let's go, Jin-kun?"

Asahina-senpai directs an angry voice at Nagumo in a way I've never seen before. Hearing that, Nagumo widens his eyes, laughs, then orders one of his lackeys to block the way and approaches me. Frankly, I'm in a bad mood too, so I decide to let it slide.

"You're in a good position, huh? Taking Nazuna home again today? Every day must be fun for you, Horagasaki?"

His sarcasm is annoying and irritating, and he's blocking the way, so I find myself getting angry and shouting at Nagumo.

"Move! You bastard!"

"Huh... Haha. You're the first one to say something like that to me. Seems like you're in a pretty bad mood. Can't leave Nazuna to someone like that."

"Huh? Are you Nazuna's parents or something? Such a pathetic face you have. You're annoying, so just graduate already."

"Huh? You're speaking pretty arrogantly. If I wanted to, I could crush you, you know?"

"Oh, really? Even without me trying, I could crush you, you know?"

In the midst of escalating tensions, as our gazes clashed between me and Nagumo, his subordinates held their breath. As I said so, a vein popped on Nangumo's face. Unable to quell his irritation, Nagumo reached out to grab my collar, so I grabbed his hand before he could grab me back, and brushed it away.

"Don't touch me."

"You... You always underestimate me... Stop messing around. Don't you understand how I feel? I've been called Horagasaki everywhere I go, a second-rate version of Horagasaki! I won't let Nazuna go to you! I'm definitely better than Horagasaki!"

"Huh?"

Nagumo challenges me with a strong finger pointing at me. Nagumo''s subordinates, including me and Asahina-senpai, all wore expressions of "???", and it's no wonder. I don't understand what he means. I couldn't help but interject into Nagumo''s words.

"No, you should just sell yourself as Nagumo... Why are you trying to sell yourself as me?"

"Shut up! You and I are polar opposites. Look at this beautiful blonde hair of mine! And you have silver hair. Gold and silver... Obviously gold is superior! Women always choose the superior one... Come on, Nazuna, come over here."

"No, I have no idea what you're talking about... What's going on?"

My head is crowded with incomprehensible words he's saying. Apparently, not only me but all of Nagumo's subordinates seem puzzled too. Nagumo then takes Asahina-senpai's hand. She vigorously shakes his hand off, glaring at him with a fierce look in her eyes, and delivers cold words to Nagumo in a low, threatening voice.

"Don't touch me, narcissist. Jin-kun is obviously better than you. Don't ever bother me again, you damn delusional man. You're disgusting."

Wow, that must have stung quite a bit. Even Nagumo's subordinates couldn't help but recoil at her words.

Glancing at Nagumo, he looked like he was about to cry as he crumbled to his knees, becoming like an empty shell. That's harsh... and surprisingly, Asahina-senpai is quite foul-mouthed. It's quite a contrast, isn't it?

"Well, well, well... That was quite the finishing blow."

"Of course, it's only natural. When you see someone like that, it gives you the creeps, that disgusting blond guy. What's this about being the opposite of Jin-kun? He doesn't even come close. He's just creepy."

Asahina-senpai spat out those words, clearly irritated. What a character she is! She's in a really bad mood... but since Asahina-senpai spoke so frankly, my mood improved, although hers soured. Casually glancing behind me, I could still see Nagumo, who remained on the ground, repeating Asahina-senpai's name like a broken record player. His sad back was visible as Nangumo's subordinates patted him on the back. Lucky for Nagumo, he's surrounded by good friends.

"Uh... are you angry?"

"Huh?"

Yikes... Asahina-senpai looks scary, like she could actually kill someone.

"I'm sorry... Should we call it a day today?"

Apologizing, Asahina-senpai briskly left the scene. I chased after her and hugged her petite back.

"Wait, Asahina-san..."

"S-... Actually, maybe what Miyabi said is true... I'm not suitable for you."

"That's not true. I care about you, Senpai, so..."

"Then, will you go out with me?"

"...Well, that's..."

"Come on, isn't that a no? I like you, but there are plenty of girls who like you too... I don't have the confidence to win."

With a voice trembling as if about to cry, Asahina-senpai trembled and looked down. Unable to leave her like that, I gently hugged her.

"Senpai, I might be the scum Nagumo thinks I am... but no matter what, I won't stop caring about you. I'll definitely protect you."

"R-... Really?"

Asahina-senpai looked up at me with upturned eyes. Wow, she's so cute. Honestly, that got to me.

In such a nice atmosphere, the guy who ruins it all comes back again.

"I... found you, Asahina. I won't give up!"

"...Who? Someone Jin-kun knows?"

"...No, I don't know him at all."

With a casual dismissal, Nagumo's existence was forgotten. It's kind of pathetic... I mean, how much of an "M" is this guy? Coming here means he's going to get told something by Asahina-senpai.

"You guys... Well, I'm lenient. If you're going to work under me, I won't stop you, Horagasaki?"

"Oh, that's fine. You can play the leader on your own."

"Gross, persistent, annoying, tiresome, troublesome, and stinky. Go away, Ya."

"W-...Wait, that's not..."

Then, as if to deliver the final blow, Asahina-senpai seductively tempted me with sweet words.

"Shall we... do it now? ♡ Just like last time, let's do it a lot inside, okay? ♡"

"Well, then, I won't let you sleep tonight, okay?"

"Yeah ♡"

As I said that and Asahina-senpai agreed, Nagumo hesitantly called out to Asahina-senpai.

"W-... Wait for me... I'll make you feel even better!"

"Drop dead. Jin-kun's definitely bigger."

With a single, devastating blow, he froze, his expression twitching and tears streaming down his face.

"U-Uwaaaaaaah!"

Finally, he ran off, crying. What on earth did this guy want to do?

After that, we returned to the room and did it more than ten times. Yep, I threw out my back... If I get old, I'll have back pain.
