Although Dongfang You had anticipated Supervisor Saitama would leave, he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Looking at Supervisor Saitama, who was packing his things and preparing to leave, his heart was still filled with reluctance.
After all, he was definitely a breath of fresh air in this world.
"Yes."
Saitama nodded, pondered for a moment, then continued, "I have to go because there's an urgent family matter I need to handle."
As he spoke, he paused, his gaze fixed solemnly on Dongfang You's face, and he instructed him word by word, "After I leave, a new Supervisor will come here to teach you all."
"I heard that the new Supervisor's personality and character seem to have some issues. But I heard that the players he trains are quite outstanding."
"So, you all should try to get along with him as much as possible, at least don't cause trouble."
"Mm."
Dongfang You nodded. He knew this farewell would probably be his last meeting with Supervisor Saitama.
Saitama patted Dongfang You's shoulder with satisfaction, holding a report in his left hand and a package bag in his right, then left the office.
As he left, the office door slammed shut with a bang.
"Is the main story finally beginning...?"
Dongfang You murmured to himself.
He knew that the Baseball Club's journey of salvation had just begun.
"You-kun."
Just as he was deep in thought, Akane Nanami suddenly leaned close to him, blinking her clear, moist eyes as she asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking..."
Dongfang You was silent for a moment, then he bent down and lightly touched her delicate pink lips, "Of you."
"Eh?"
Akane Nanami was stunned for a long time, then her pretty face flushed crimson, and she shyly covered her burning cheeks, "Hmph~ You're so naughty."
"Haha."
Dongfang You's lips curved into a smile, and his tone held a hint of playfulness: "What? As your boyfriend, I can't even kiss you?"
"Ah... how... how can you say that."
Akane Nanami's face grew even redder, and she squirmed as she said, "If you want to kiss me, then... kiss me..."
"Hehe."
Dongfang You chuckled, then cupped Akane Nanami's exquisite small face and kissed her.
This time, Akane didn't struggle, letting Dongfang You ravage her soft lips.
After a long while, the two finally parted.
"You smell so good~"
Dongfang You licked his lips with the tip of his tongue, saying with a look of intoxication.
"Oh, you're so annoying, how can you..."
Upon hearing Dongfang You's words, Akane Nanami became even more shy, her entire fair and delicate oval face almost buried in her chest.
Even her body couldn't help but tremble, as if she had been stimulated extremely intensely, making one feel pity for her.
"Heh heh."
Seeing this, Dongfang You showed a satisfied smile. He brought his index and middle fingers together, then bent down and gently tapped Akane Nanami's forehead with his fingers.
The force wasn't strong, just a symbolic tap.
"What are you doing~"
Akane Nanami covered her forehead with her hand and gave Dongfang You a coquettish glare.
However, Dongfang You didn't explain much, but instead hugged her with a grin, "I want to keep you..."
Images instantly flashed through Akane Nanami's mind, causing her heart to pound wildly.
"Mmm-hmm."
She hummed shyly, but a faint blush spread across her face, and her alluring eyes shimmered with spring-like waves, making one unable to help but drool.
You-kun is so good at making people happy!
I love him, I love him.
...
Time quickly arrived at noon.
Dongfang You, who had just finished running ten laps around the field, stopped. He was panting heavily, his face flushed, and his entire body was drenched in sweat.
"So hot!"
He wiped the sweat from his face, feeling as if he had been pulled out of water.
"Whew—"
After resting for a long time, he took a deep breath.
"You-kun."
Just as Dongfang You was about to run a few more laps, Akane Nanami's sweet and pleasant voice sounded beside him.
He turned to look and saw Akane Nanami holding a cup of warm water and a towel, handing them to him, her cheeks slightly flushed as she said, "Take a little break. Drink some salt water to replenish your strength."
Dongfang You felt a warmth in his heart. He reached out and took the water and towel Akane Nanami offered, thanking her.
After drinking some salt water and washing his face, he finally felt much more refreshed.
"You-kun."
Akane Nanami's voice came again. Dongfang You turned his head to look at her, only to see her pretty face looking somewhat serious as she said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to be so close to you anymore."
"Hmm?"
Dongfang You frowned slightly: "What's wrong? Is it because of the new Supervisor Donggang?"
"Yes, he doesn't allow his club members to be in relationships. If he finds out about us dating, you'll be kicked out of the Baseball Club."
Akane Nanami sighed worriedly. She raised her hand and touched her smooth, fair forehead, murmuring softly, "I don't want You-kun to be kicked out of the Baseball Club. After all, you've worked so hard for so long, and it wasn't easy to finally become a full member of the Baseball Club."
"I don't want You-kun's efforts to all go to waste before the Summer Tournament ends..."
Akane's face was filled with worry and regret, and she continued, "It's my fault, really. I shouldn't have confessed my feelings to You-kun last night."
"If I hadn't told You-kun what I was thinking, maybe neither of us would have this psychological burden..."
Listening to Akane Nanami's self-reproach, Dongfang You was slightly stunned.
Then, he shook his head, placed his hand on Akane's shoulder, and comforted her, "Don't think too much. How could this be your fault?"
Girls here are just like that; when they like someone, they'll desperately try to protect him, even sacrificing their own happiness to help the person they like.
Akane is the same.
And precisely because of this, some ill-intentioned individuals found an opportunity.
Dongfang You earnestly warned her, "That Supervisor Donggang has a bit of a twisted mind, so you need to stay away from him, understand?"
"Mm."
Akane Nanami obediently responded. She looked at Dongfang You's serious expression and suddenly chuckled, "You-kun, were you jealous just now? You're so cute~"
Dongfang You pouted, "I wasn't."
"Hmph hmph, don't try to argue."
Saying that, Akane Nanami slowly straightened her small back, then leaned in and whispered in Dongfang You's ear, "Come to my place after school tonight, I'll make you some noodles."
After saying this, Akane Nanami blushed and fled, her back appearing very flustered.
"Noodles?"
Dongfang You seemed to understand.
So that's it. Her true intention wasn't the noodles.
Ramen was just a cover; the most important thing was to get him to come to her house.
Is this an easy way to go on a date...?
Tsk tsk, it seems Akane also knows how to play tricks now.
