Do you like him?
In the baseball club, Katase Shouya, who trained the hardest in the past, was also absent-minded at this time.
This state has lasted for the whole day since he saw the girl he liked being so intimate with another boy in the early morning.
He's been so out of his mind.
Even the most important baseball became dispensable.
During the club training, he secretly glanced at Nanao Akane, who was arranging props and equipment.
The rest of the baseball team also noticed Shouya Katase's state and deliberately avoided them, leaving space for him and Akane Nanao.
As for the muscle trainer, Tougou, whether it was because there were too many people or because Mu Xiaoxiao had something to do with her,
He only looked at Akane Nanao with strange eyes occasionally and pretended not to know the rest of the time.
A normal look.
As Akane Nanao thought, Tougou didn't come to harass her all the time, letting the girl under the scorching sun breathe a sigh of relief.
But what she didn't expect was that when Tougou didn't come, Katase Shouya took the initiative to find her.
"Akane, that... can we talk about it?"
"Huh? Shou-kun?"
Akane Nanao raised her hat slightly and looked at the boy in front of her in surprise.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
Because of the rules of the baseball club, Shouya Katase would not even stare at her, not to mention take the initiative to talk to her, in front of others.
"Well, there's something important,
I want to talk about it with you alone.
Is that okay?"
"Talking alone? You can, but the rules of the baseball club...
"It's okay, the coach has agreed; he won't say anything."
"..."
That scumbag coach actually agreed to Shou Kun looking for her.
It's kind of weird...
Akane Nanao finally left with Shouya Katase.
She believed in Shou-kun and stayed away from the baseball club's training ground.
She came to a place near the wall, and they stood facing each other under the big tree.
This was the first time the two communicated alone after they met in the warehouse yesterday and were caught.
Akane Nanao was in a complicated mood, and so many things happened in just two days.
Coach Tougou threatened her and Mu Xiaoxiao saved her halfway, but because of this, she and Mu Kun became friends.
This is probably the luckiest thing.
"Shou kun, it's still time for the baseball club to practice; what are you looking for me to say?"
Nanao Akane took off her hat and asked curiously.
"Akane... I wanted to find you at noon, but I was hesitant."
Katase Shouya also seemed very nervous.
"Yesterday, when we met and were discovered by Coach Tougou, At that time, I was a little nervous and ran first, sorry."
"It's nothing; I can understand... After all, we did violate the rules of the baseball club."
The girl shook her head.
"Yes, but Coach Tougou didn't blame me and told me that I can get along with you more outside of the club."
"The coach is really a kind person with a big heart."
Broad-minded?
Nice guy?
Nanao Akane frowned.
Shou-Kun won't be deceived by him, right?
"Shou kun, you came to me just to talk about this?"
"No, actually, I want to ask you about the boy in the morning."
…
"Meow~"
"Meow~"
Bombay cats are called little black panthers.
This kind of cat has always been muscular and full of wildness, but the one in front of Mu Xiaoxiao was very thin and small, although it also has a hint of wildness.
But it was very weak.
and was making cute cat noises.
Maybe because cats are not afraid of humans, he slowly stretched out his hands.
The little cat didn't run away or move; he just watched as his hands fell on it and stroked him.
"Wow, it's nice to touch... This Bombay cat seems to be just a kitten, and... is it a female?"
Stroking her head, extending my arms to her back, and gently hugging her, I stood up.
It seems like a stray cat, right?
"Meow~"
Probably because Mu Xiaoxiao's [beast taming] ability worked, the kitty not only didn't resist but sniffed and rubbed against his arms.
"Or call it a black cat."
"It doesn't seem like a girl's name or Anna. It feels too weird. "
Mu Xiaoxiao pondered for a long time and finally gave up thinking.
"Just call you Luna, which seems to be the name of a black cat in a certain anime, and it suits you quite well."
He decided to adopt this little black cat, including the two sparrows on his shoulders.
The [beast-taming] skill was very useful so that the little ones can understand the meaning he conveyed in the future.
That's when they make a difference!
"Hiss... headache, have I been using it for too long?"
Mu Xiaoxiao withdrew the energy in his palm, and the comfortable feeling of the little black cat that had lost its energy nourishment disappeared, and she meowed a few times.
"Luna, do you want to come to my house?" Be my cat?"
Putting her back on the ground, Mu Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.
"Meow~"
Without any hesitation, the little black cat was tamed by Mu Xiaoxiao in just ten minutes.
She walked gracefully to his feet, tilted her head, and gently rubbed against his trouser legs.
"It's done; this ability is really good; can I open a zoo at home in the future?"
Mu Xiaoxiao picked up the little black cat again. ,
"Luna, and you, let's have a friendly exchange—"
A black cat and two sparrows stared at each other, speechless.
--------------------------------------
"Morning? "Morning is... ah, you are talking about Mu Kun?"
Nanao Akane quickly remembered, and then her expression was a little embarrassed.
'If I remember correctly, Mu Xiaoxiao hugged me at that time, right?'
'I didn't think much about it at the time.
It turned out that Shou Kun was there; didn't it mean that he saw how intimate I was with Mu Kun? No wonder he came back to ask me.
"Mu-Kun?"
"He's my classmate, named Mu Xiaoxiao. It's normal that you don't know him."
Akane Nanao explained
"It was just a misunderstanding at that time. Mu Kun and I are actually just friends."
Just friends?
Katase Shouya also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is he just a friend? Akane, do you like him?"
"Why do you think so? Mu Kun and I have only known each other not long ago; how could I like him?"
