My love index is at its maximum.

At this moment, her eyes held a playful smile, as if she had caught Tazaki Tsukasa in a compromising situation. In a soft, slightly trembling voice, she teased him in his ear, "Tazaki-kun, you're not really afraid of chestnuts, are you? Otherwise, why do you react so strongly every time chestnuts are mentioned?"

"Is Miss Butler planning a rebellion?"

"Haha~ Hey, no, I'm leaving soon... Have mercy!!!"

After playing around on the bed for a while, it was 8:30.

Sachiko Tono got out of bed, picked up the clothes that had fallen on the floor, and then opened the wardrobe in the room, slowly selecting clothes.

Tsukasa Tazaki lay on his side on the bed, using his arm as a pillow to watch her get dressed.

The wardrobe was crammed with a dazzling array of clothes: a cream-colored autumn/winter trench coat, a deep pink crew-neck sweater with crystal beads, a blue bodycon skirt, black stockings, and a bright red lingerie set trimmed with sexy lace. These clothes gave off an extremely sexy impression.

That's for sure; all the clothes were chosen according to Tsukasa Tazaki's preferences.

Cute and stuff...

It's nothing compared to sexiness!

Sachiko Tono's movements as she wrapped her clothes around her body, one by one, were as fluid and graceful as a dolphin swimming in the water, full of beauty.

She zipped up her short skirt, buttoned up her shirt, put on her suit jacket, and then sat on the edge of the bed to put on her black stockings.

There are probably many girls who are charming when they take off their clothes, but very few who are beautiful when they put them on. Fortunately, the girls that Takashi Tazaki knows all have an unforgettable beauty when they put on their clothes.

After putting on all her clothes, Sachiko Tono used her fingertips to lift her long hair and tidy it up before skillfully tying it up.

The crisp morning air seemed to be refreshed with her movements.

At last.

Sachiko Tono lowered her head and kissed Tsukasa Tazaki's cheek: "Thank you for your hard work last night. This is your reward."

Slap it.

A bank card was tossed on the pillow.

Tsukasa Tazaki was taken aback.

“I transfer half of the coffee shop’s profits here every month. You can spend it for me.”

Sachiko Tono patted Tsukasa Tazaki's cheek with a smile, then walked out of the room with a smug look on her face.

and so……

I consider myself someone with a stable income!

Tsukasa Tazaki stretched and thought to himself that this was really not bad.

From now on, I won't need to take Hanami-nee's money when I go on dates with my sweetheart.

I left the Kichikawa family home at 10:00 AM.

Tazaki Tsukasa went to Kinokuniya Department Store, bought some snacks for Hanami-nee, bought some fine sake for his father-in-law at the hotel, bought ballpoint pens and notebooks for the idiot Shikami at the stationery store, and bought a few books for himself at the bookstore.

He spent the entire Sunday at Sakura's house.

In the morning, I played games with my older sister and supervised my younger sister's studies. In the afternoon, the three of us played tennis, had barbecue, and swam at the gym.

In the evening, I had a couple of drinks with my father-in-law and fed "Navy" a big chicken leg. The Border Collie ate it very happily, wagging its tail nonstop.

I raise my glass and savor the sake.

Tazaki Tsukasa leaned against her older sister with her eyes closed and whispered, "Just wait and see how I shine at the sports festival."

"Stop nagging, don't disturb me while I'm eating." Hoshino Hanami rolled her eyes at him.

A gentle evening breeze blows.

The peaceful and pleasant atmosphere made them both feel like squirrels nestled in a tree hole, resting their heads on pine cones and peacefully waiting for spring to arrive.

Chapter 296 During lunch break, the minister made a series of self-destructive remarks.

11 month 15 day.

It was another clear, sunny autumn day.

The last class in the morning was a combined physical education class for Class D and Class F. The boys from the two classes were having a friendly match in the gymnasium, which was quite intense.

On the adjacent court, Tsukasa Tazaki was practicing shooting alone.

He dribbled the ball twice, stopped near the bottom three-point line, and then leaned back to shoot a long-range shot. Swish! The basketball went straight into the net.

Basketball skill proficiency +1

Current skill level: Proficient (1000/1000)

[Basketball (Proficient) → Basketball (Professional)]

There's a question.

Does this "professional level" refer to the professional level of the Japanese B.League, or is it at the level of the NBA? But even if it's at the NBA level, there's no need to play basketball, since I'm destined to inherit Sakura's family business in the future.

Either become the King of the Yakuza, or be the man of the King of the Yakuza!

"The sports festival starts in a week, so I should probably find some time to talk to the various music clubs about what surprise to prepare for the club president..."

After muttering to himself a few times, Tsukasa Tazaki practiced spot shooting near the free-throw line, making several shots in a row.

I'm getting into the groove.

Looking at the basketball game in full swing on the next court, I suddenly felt a strong urge to join in and dominate.

"Kiki, come and rest for a bit~"

Tazaki Tsukasa threw in another ball, then turned to look at Ninomiya Shiori, who was smiling as she handed him a bottle of barley tea.

Her long, slightly wavy black hair was tied into a ponytail with a blue headband. Because she had just exercised, her forehead and cheeks were covered in fine sweat, and her skin was flushed. She wore a red tracksuit with black stripes, which, combined with her lively and lovely smile, perfectly embodied the charm of an energetic young woman.

Add to that pair of clear, big eyes, and her appearance can only be described in four words... radiating vitality!

"Hey, Shiori, come here quickly!" A girl from Class D waved and shouted from behind, "Our class is about to win!"

Ninomiya Shiori didn't go back; she just waved her hand in that direction, meaning "I understand."

"Shall we go to the cafeteria together for lunch?" Tsukasa Tazaki opened the barley tea and handed it back to her.

"No, no, no," the little cutie quickly bowed and bowed, her hands hanging down to her knees, then looked up and smiled: "I've already kidnapped Sakura, so I'll be having lunch with her from now on. Kiki, you'll have to eat alone."

Tsukasa Tazaki sighed helplessly, "Don't all gang up on me!"

"Kiki~" Shiori Ninomiya leaned closer, grinning mischievously, and said, "Tell me how you plan to drag Sakura into this mess, and I'll give you some advice."

"You can't tell on me."

Absolutely not!

"First, starting with training for the sports festival events, I plan to take this opportunity to push the publicity work onto her..."

Bright lights shone down from above, casting a shadow of the two whispering secrets onto the floor. Students from both classes were glancing over, some even shouting out loud.

"Tazaki, Tazaki!"

This is the shouting of the girls in Class D.

Not to be outdone, the boys in Class F quickly responded by shouting, "Shiori, Shiori!"

Tsukasa Tazaki turned around and waved to the students of both classes to express his gratitude, then shouted with great pomp, "I heard everyone's enthusiasm," which unsurprisingly earned him a chorus of boos.

"Kiki, let's go!"

Shiori Ninomiya pushed Tsukasa Tazaki by the back, taking small, quick steps to lead him to the sidelines: "It's time to show them real skill!"

"Come on, Tazaki-kun!"

Murakami Mizuiro's eyes burned like flames as she tossed the basketball to Tazaki Tsukasa: "Let's get this fired up! Let those girls in Class D know how tough we are!"

The scoreboard is behind Murakami's; Class F is trailing Class D 35-56.

Tsukasa Tazaki turned to look at Shiori Ninomiya, his eyes filled with a mixture of helplessness and doting affection.

The little cutie scratched his brow with his finger and chuckled, "Hurry up and get on stage!"

"learn!"

Tazaki Tsukasa loosened his wrists and, standing on the sideline, passed the ball to Murakami Mizuiro.

As soon as he stepped onto the field, Murakami Mizuiro passed the ball back to him, and a boy from Class D quickly came in front of him and took a defensive stance.

Just over a meter from the three-point line, Tsukasa Tazaki took a step-back jump, and the basketball traced a beautiful parabola in the air.

Swish!

The moment his feet touched the ground, his hands were already clenched into fists and raised high, and the basketball swished straight into the net.

"Tazaki——!!!"

The students in Class F all jumped up and cheered loudly.

"Well done, my dear friend!" Murakami Mizuiro, hands behind his back, nodded approvingly at Tazaki Tsukasa. "It seems you've finally grasped the true essence of basketball, mastered its soul. Keep it up, don't worry about us, win this game in your own way!"

Even while clinging to a powerful figure, she manages to do it in such a refined and unconventional way...

Murakami-kun, you truly live up to your reputation!

In another round, Tsukasa Tazaki skillfully made a left-side layup, his hand movements smooth and fluid as he deftly flicked the ball through the net.

The difference in scores gradually narrowed.

This kept the girls in Class D very busy. On one hand, they felt sorry for their classmates, and on the other hand, they couldn't help but cheer for Tsukasa Tazaki. Their expressions kept switching between regret and fervor.

"Kiki, go for it!"

"Hey, Shiori, you're in Class D, keep your voice down..."

"Kiki, go for it!!! By the way, Kanae, what did you just say?" Ninomiya Shiori stared wide-eyed at her best friend. Her eyes were exceptionally bright and captivating, and when she stared wide-eyed, she looked very playful.

"I said, you want to..."

Before Kasuga could finish her sentence, Tazaki Tsukasa dribbled past a Class D player on the court and delivered a powerful one-handed slam dunk. Instantly, Kasuga forgot what she was about to say and cheered, raising her little fist: "Go Tazaki-kun!"

Regardless of what the boys in Class D think, at least the girls in Class D, seeing Tsukasa Tazaki running around the field with her agile figure and radiant appearance, will feel genuinely grateful to Ninomiya-kun from the bottom of their hearts.

As Tazaki Tsukasa dribbled the ball and made a layup, he turned around after landing and winked at Ninomiya Shiori with a very friendly and natural smile, without any affectation or unnecessary embellishment.

"Go Kiki!"
