Chapter 50: Sei-chan Jealous.
Shimada-san, you cant afford to be so complacent.
Tojoin-san told me that when she came to cheer Shigemoto on.
W-What is it Tojoin-san?
My, do you not know? Hisamura will become very popular after this match.
I-I guess so.
It was kinda my fault for supporting and firing up Hisamura, but I didnt expect him to be so active that he would attract so much attention from others.
Those bitches who just raised their voice seem to be going for Hisamura-kun too.
Calling them bitches is a bit mean.
A woman who takes another womans man is a bitch.
Tojoin-san, do you know that, um, Me and Hisamura are dating?
I asked her in a small voice, afraid that the people around us might hear what we were talking about.
Neither I nor Hisamura should have told her about that.
Of course I know. Anybody can tell just by looking at you guys.
A-Anyone? D-Does that mean that the people in class know too?
No, I dont think anyone in your class knows. After all, youve been using me as a front to hold hands and flirt secretly.
EH?! W-Why do you know that?!
Well, I could tell since you were right in front of me, but Yuuichi probably doesnt know a thing.
I didnt think that Tojoin-san would know about us holding hands as well
Curses To-Tojoin-san, please dont tell anyone that were dating
Why not? If I were in your position. I would make a huge announcement saying that Yuuichi and I are dating.
W-Well its already known that you like Shigemoto though!
Well, if I was in your situation I would stick close to Hisamura-kun, so not only would his family know about me, but so would everyone else.
Well Thats.
Those bitches earlier were easy to understand, but its not like there arent any women aiming for Hisamura in the dark. I would show him off to the extent that the entire world would know that he is mine.
We-Well Thats still
Well, if I did do that, the other girls would definitely stop going for Hisamura.
But I couldnt do something so embarrassing.
As we were talking, a pang sound came from where the game was being played, and cheers went up at the same time as that.
I looked over there and saw that Hisamura had gotten a hit and was running through first base.
Im not sure what to say. There may be other girls out there who are looking at him with a passionate gaze too.
Ku!
Indeed, the way the girls in the class looked at Hisamura now had changed.
I dont think all the eyes that are looking at Hisamura are vying for him, but thinking about the few that are is making me sick.
But well Hisamura, who stayed on first base, turned to look at me.
He smiled lightly, clenched his fist and did a small guts pose to me.
I was thrilled by the gesture, and I was glad that it was directed only at me, which made my earlier discomfort disappear.
In response to his gesture, I did a small wave.
This time, he didnt hold his chest in pain but smiled naturally. Seeing that, I couldnt help but smile as well.
Yall two are so close, I feel like an idiot for worrying about you.
Ah
Tojoin, who was watching the current exchange between us said so with a sigh.
But still, Im certain that people who dont know about the fact that you guys are dating will appear and try to seduce Hisamura-kun.
Ku I-I know that.
All right then. Then I guess Ill just have to go about my business.
Tojoin-san said, stepping forward and shouting loudly.
YUUICHI! MAKE SURE YOU HIT IT!
The next batter after Hisamura was Shigemoto.
When Tojoin-san shouted this out to Shigemoto before entering the batters box, Shigemoto smiled and raised his fist in the air, Oh! he shouted.
Shigemoto-kun! Good luck!
Shiho also cheered, shouting loudly, something she rarely did, as if she did not want to lose him.
Shigemoto responded to that as well, with a Thank you!.
Shigemotos motivation seemed to have increased, but so did the motivation of his enemies.
As for the reason for the rise, Im pretty sure its jealousy.
The pitcher throws with all his might, more so than when he was throwing it to Hisamura.
He is a pitcher from the baseball team, so Im pretty sure it will be a decent pitch.
However, the batter was a terrible matchup with him.
The sound was even louder than when Hisamura had hit it, and the ball flew through the air.
It went straight over the head of the field and disappeared out of sight.
Instantly, a loud cheer echoed through the schoolyard.
Thats my Yuuichi! That was an easy home run!
Shigemoto, youre amazing!
Tojoin-san and Shiho said exicitely as if they were Shigemotos long term fans.
The girls from the same class and other classes who had seen what had just happened were also cheering for him. [TLN: Im feeling extremely bad for the pitcher, Dont worry, youll get em next time.] [ED: Theres always next time] [PR:your sacrifice will not be forgotten pitcher-san]
The girls who were talking about targeting Hisamura earlier also had many more sparkles in their eyes now than when Hisamura had gotten a hit.
Surely a home run is much more impressive than a regular hit, and we know that Shigemoto is more popular than Hisamura.
Rather than Hisamura being targeted, it would be safer for my sanctuary if Shigemoto stood out and attracted the attention of the girls instead.
But still
I dont like it My Hisamura is no pushover either.[PR:mah heart!]
I said in a small murmur, as my expression stiffened.
