"Hmph, that damn woman Kasumigaoka, how dare she reject me. She's not the only beautiful woman in this world."
Yamashita Yukou wore a smile on his face, but in his heart he was thinking about Kasumigaoka Utaha who had embarrassed him before.
Last time his pursuit of Kasumigaoka Utaha failed, making him lose face as the baseball club captain. Many people didn't dare say anything on the surface, but were secretly mocking him.
Yamashita Yukou was well aware of this.
Precisely because of this, he had targeted Eriri.
Eriri was also a beautiful girl on the same level as Kasumigaoka Utaha.
As long as he successfully pursued Eriri, he could instantly regain the face he had lost.
Looking at Eriri's impatient expression.
Yamashita Yukou wasn't worried at all.
He had investigated Eriri and knew she wasn't like Kasumigaoka Utaha who completely ignored outside opinions, but rather someone who quite cared about her reputation.
Since he could change Eriri's current terrible situation, he believed Eriri couldn't refuse him.
If Eriri stubbornly refused to comply, Yamashita Yukou had even planned to use his old tactics—deliberately guiding public opinion to make Eriri's situation even more difficult.
Then when he appeared, this girl would eventually submit.
"Hehe, speaking of which, I should thank whoever exposed Eriri's identity. Otherwise, how would I have a chance to pursue this ace of the art club?"
Yamashita Yukou looked at Eriri's perfect features and elegant temperament, his eyes growing more intense.
As if he could already see this arrogant woman finally submitting to him.
However, although his mind was full of dark thoughts, his face still maintained a sincere appearance:
"Sawamura-san, please give me one chance. As long as you go on one date with me, I'll immediately make those rumors disappear. Just one date—surely that's acceptable!"
Yamashita Yukou was very patient.
He had extensive experience pursuing girls.
He knew that with girls who had such firm attitudes, it was appropriate to retreat in order to advance.
As long as Eriri agreed, he was confident he could seal the deal.
One date—if not going all the way, at least kissing and holding hands were things he could definitely achieve.
"Dating, you won't agree to, but one date—such an easy condition, you should agree to that, right?"
Thinking proudly to himself, Yamashita Yukou's smile became even brighter.
He didn't believe Eriri would still refuse this—
"Eriri, you're late."
Just at this moment, a cold voice sounded from nearby.
"Kasumigaoka-san, Haru-san!"
Seeing the two coming to her rescue, Eriri's eyes immediately lit up, thinking she could finally get rid of this scumbag.
She immediately walked enthusiastically to Kasumigaoka Utaha's side: "I just had something to handle. Let's go now."
Eriri didn't want to look at that scumbag beside her for even one more second and immediately demanded to leave.
Yamashita Yukou's expression froze.
He could naturally recognize Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice.
Looking up.
He instantly saw Kasumigaoka Utaha and the handsome male student beside her.
Seeing another male student appear beside Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Yamashita Yukou was stunned for a moment, full of disbelief.
How could there be another male student beside Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had always been cold and whom no one dared approach?
This was impossible!
Thinking that the woman he couldn't pursue had been taken by someone else.
Yamashita Yukou's expression became ugly, and deep jealousy flashed in his eyes.
But then, his expression returned to normal.
"Kasumigaoka-san, what are you doing here?" Yamashita Yukou's face showed a smile again, as if he hadn't heard Kasumigaoka Utaha's mockery.
However, what made Yamashita Yukou's face turn ugly was.
Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't even glance at him and said directly to Haru: "Let's go."
Haru nodded and turned to leave directly, too lazy to look at Yamashita Yukou.
Although he looked down on this scumbag, since the other party hadn't offended him, he wouldn't actively seek trouble.
And Yamashita Yukou's face became unprecedentedly ugly.
He hadn't expected his foolproof confession plan to be ruined like this.
What he found even more unacceptable was how Kasumigaoka Utaha and Haru had ignored him at the end.
"That damn woman Kasumigaoka Utaha is one thing, but that guy called Haru seems to be a first-year student, right? A first-year student actually dares to ignore me too."
Yamashita Yukou stared at Haru walking away, clenched his fists, and said through gritted teeth, "Reckless fool..."
Yamashita Yukou was a bully who picked on the weak. Although he was extremely angry at losing face in front of Kasumigaoka Utaha, he knew he couldn't do anything to her.
But Haru, a first-year junior, actually dared to show him such disrespect.
This immediately made him transfer all his anger to Haru.
He swore in his heart that he would make this guy know the consequences of not giving him face.
"Hahaha, did you see that guy's final expression? It was so satisfying."
Even after reaching Haru's front door.
Eriri was still excitedly mocking Yamashita Yukou's spectacular final expression.
"He deserved it. Using his position as baseball club captain to force girls to date him everywhere, thinking everyone would submit to him."
"Sawamura-san, you're celebrating too early. That scumbag won't give up so easily."
Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned, feeling Eriri was getting carried away, "That guy will definitely use public opinion to make your reputation even worse. You should think about how to handle this first."
"Hmph, I've already thought of a way."
Eriri said proudly. The scumbag captain's usual methods had long been known among the girls, so she naturally understood.
Fortunately, she already knew how to deal with that scumbag captain.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look up shyly at Haru, feeling a bit conflicted about whether to bring it up now.
"If that guy really dares to do that, Sawamura-san, I'll take responsibility for dealing with him."
Haru smiled slightly. Not knowing Eriri's plan, but since Eriri had agreed to be his assistant, he didn't mind protecting her at school.
"Junior, although your courage is admirable, don't make promises you can't keep."
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Haru with appreciation, then shook her head.
"He's a senior to both of you and the baseball club captain. If he really wants to target you, you have no way to fight back."
Kasumigaoka Utaha appreciated Haru's courage but didn't want him to show reckless bravery, as that could lead to very serious consequences.
"Actually, I have a method right now. As long as Haru-san agrees, we can immediately get rid of that Yamashita!"
Originally somewhat conflicted, Eriri heard Haru promise to help her and her eyes lit up as she hurriedly spoke.
"What method?" Haru raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. This cowardly Eriri actually had the guts to oppose a second-year senior.
"Well..."
Eriri blushed and hesitated for a while before looking at Haru embarrassedly, "Could I ask Haru-san to pretend to be my boyfriend?"
Upon hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha froze for a moment, then showed a trace of shock in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Eriri.
Haru was also somewhat dumbfounded.
He hadn't expected Eriri to suddenly say such a thing.
"Pretend, just pretend!"
Eriri said with a red face, hurriedly emphasizing loudly. She said seriously, "As long as Haru-san pretends to be my boyfriend, no matter how much of a scumbag Yamashita Yukou is, he won't dare target me anymore."
Eriri took a deep breath, her cheeks still somewhat red, her beautiful eyes looking at Haru with both shyness and anticipation, "Haru-san, please! You just need to pretend for a while. I'll seriously serve as your assistant as compensation for this."
Haru was somewhat speechless.
He understood Eriri's little scheme.
Having him pretend to be her boyfriend to block those guys with ulterior motives toward her.
When Haru said he'd help Eriri solve her troubles, he was planning to solve them physically.
Pretending to be a boyfriend and such.
He had no interest.
Moreover, if he agreed to this, how would the girls around him view him?
Even girls who might develop into girlfriends would probably distance themselves from Haru because of this.
Like Megumi Kato.
Haru didn't want to give up an entire forest for one Eriri.
"Sawamura-san—"
Haru was about to refuse—
"Pretend to be a boyfriend? I absolutely won't allow such a thing!"
But just then, an aggressive voice suddenly rang out.
Haru, Eriri, and Kasumigaoka Utaha were all stunned.
Then they turned to look and immediately saw Haruno, dressed fashionably and stunningly beautiful, with her arms crossed and looking at the three with displeasure.
Especially at Haru.
"Haru-kun!"
Haruno looked at Haru through gritted teeth, her pretty face showing a sad expression, "Even though you have me as your girlfriend, you're still cheating outside. You're really too much—unforgivable!"
Hearing this, Haru's face darkened.
His appointment with Haruno was for 10 PM tonight.
He hadn't expected this woman to arrive so early.
Coming early was one thing, but playing this kind of act—what was she trying to do?
Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri were also somewhat dumbfounded.
At first glance of Haruno, both were amazed by this big sister's gorgeous appearance and elegant temperament.
They were still wondering who this beautiful woman who was prettier than a model could be.
But they hadn't expected her to actually be Haru's girlfriend.
Now Eriri's face immediately became burning hot with embarrassment, wanting to find a hole to crawl into.
Her heart was wailing:
"It's over! I actually made a request to pretend to be my boyfriend right in front of his girlfriend. How could I be so unlucky!!"
