But Saki Kamiri, already furious, clearly wouldn't listen to that.

"You're still saying that!"

The pitch was raised.

It’s over.

Rio Futaba closed her eyes, her hands trembling slightly.

What will happen next.

She had actually anticipated this.

but...

With no one else to rely on, she could only endure it silently...

But it was at this moment that a clear voice rang out.

"Oh? Rio, you're here."

"Nanxiang...?"

Rio Futaba, who had closed her eyes to accept everything, opened them, completely surprised that Toki Nanago would appear at this moment.

She was very surprised.

She really didn't expect that.

The person she was just thinking about actually appeared beside her at this crucial moment.

What surprised her even more was seeing Nanxiang's handsome face.

The unease that had accumulated in her heart had actually dissipated considerably at this moment.

It was as if no problem could stump this black-haired youth in front of him.

Under her gaze, Nanxiang walked over as if no one else was there and waved to her indifferently.

Rio Futaba hesitated for a moment, then shrank behind Toki Nanago.

Looking at his back as he stood in front of me.

The unease I felt just now was like an illusion; it vanished in an instant.

"..."

Meanwhile, Saki Kamiri's small group, witnessing this scene, experienced some confusion.

Clearly, they were somewhat taken aback by Nanxiang's sudden appearance.

Putting aside other things.

The mere fact that she was ranked first in her grade was enough to make them feel suffocated.

But Sasaki was somewhat unwilling.

You should know that she finally found an opportunity for Rio Futaba to be alone.

She naturally didn't want to give up.

So she took a deep breath and stepped forward: "What does the top-ranked scholar want by meddling in our business?"

Before Nanago could answer, she pointed at Futaba Rio and spoke again:

"That woman has always wanted to make a move against Youzhen. It's not unreasonable for me to have a few words with her, right?"

"I didn't, Nanxiang."

As soon as the other person said that, Rio Futaba immediately looked up and shook her head at Toki Nanago with some unease.

She didn't even have that idea.

"No? If not, why are you at the stadium?"

Saki Kamisato, arms crossed, scoffed, "This guy clearly likes Yuuma but won't admit it. He's just a complete coward."

"Kunimi and I are just friends."

Upon hearing this, Rio Futaba gripped Nango Toki's sleeve tightly, raised her golden eyes, and looked intently into his eyes.

She didn't know why she explained it to Nango Toki instead of to Kazusa Saki.

"......" Nanxiang time.

Nanxiang was somewhat surprised.

It's worth noting that in the simulation, Rio Futaba never confessed her feelings so quickly as she has now.

But now...

It seems that it was Saki Kamiri's semi-coercive words that had an effect.

Since that's the case...

"Alright, that's settled then."

Nango looked at Saki Kamari: "You've gotten the answer you wanted, haven't you? There's no need to keep pushing, is there?"

"Huh? This woman is clearly lying."

Saki Kamiri frowned, looking somewhat relentless.

She didn't believe Rio Futaba's nonsense. Now that she had caught her, she was determined to teach her a lesson so that she would never dare to approach Yuuma Kunimi again.

Her persistent and clingy attitude made Nanxiang Shi raise an eyebrow.

Rio Futaba has already admitted that she is no longer interested in Yuuma Kunimi.

The other party got the answer she wanted, but still refused to give in.

Nanxiang also had a temper, and he spoke up quite frankly:

"I think Uehara-kun is just too confident. Rio doesn't even like me, so how could she possibly like someone who's not even as good as me?"

"Huh?! My name is Kamiri Saki! You bastard!"

Hearing Nango's words, Uesato Saki opened her mouth wide, her face full of disbelief.

She really didn't expect that.

They talked for a while, but Nanxiang didn't even know her name.

This feeling of being completely ignored was more humiliating to her than when Nanxiang had verbally abused her.

Regarding this point...

Nanxiang could only state that he did not do it on purpose.

After all, Saki Kamisato is just a minor character in the anime, appearing in only a handful of episodes.

It's already quite impressive that he can remember even one word, 'up'.

Kamisato Saki's face flushed with anger, but what she found even more unacceptable was another remark made by Nango Toki—

"And you said Yu-zhen is inferior to you?"

It doesn't matter if she's belittled, like Saki Ueto.

But she absolutely cannot tolerate anyone saying bad things about Kunimi Yuzuru.

Her voice was low, with a clearly audible sneer:

"Are you kidding me? What exactly is it about Yuzhen that you lack?"

"Conversely, let me ask you, what exactly is it about Kunimi Yuuma that makes him better than me? His looks? His grades? Or is it his popularity?"

Nango snapped his fingers and then asked Kamiri Saki.

"he..."

Just as Saki Kamiri was about to speak.

But when the words reached his lips, he couldn't utter them at all.

If the person in front of you is just an ordinary student from Ocha High School...

She could use Kunimi Yuuma's various strengths to completely overwhelm her opponent.

But obviously.

The person standing in front of her was not an ordinary male student from Ocha High School.

Instead, it was Nango Toki who stood at the top of the food chain at Ocha High School from the very beginning.

Her boyfriend, whom she was so proud of, was utterly incomparable to the other woman.

She hesitated for a while before finally whispering, "You're nowhere near as good as Yu-jin when it comes to sports."

As for her extremely weak resistance, which could hardly be called a rebuttal.

Nango Toki raised an eyebrow at this, as if he wanted to say something.

Rio Futaba noticed something and glanced in his direction again.

Then she heard Nanxiang's calm voice, neither angry nor annoyed:

"Yes, you're right. I'm not as good as him at sports."

Those words were devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Instead, it left Saki Kamiri, who had said those words, with an indescribable sense of frustration.

What happened afterward was actually quite logical.

Saki Kamiri didn't press Rio Futaba any further.

Rio Futaba also turned and left the gymnasium with Toki Nanago.

The whole thing is over—or so it should be.

But it was precisely after he and Rio Futaba had grown apart during his time in Nanago that he met.

She, who was clutching Nanxiang's sleeve, suddenly spoke softly:

"Nango...you actually...can beat Kunimi in sports too, right?"

"Hmm...? Oh—you noticed?"
