In the time loop, I do whatever I want

So she looked at Nakano Satsuki again: "Satsuki-kun, please give me a piece."

Nakano Satsuki was both amused and exasperated. As she handed the bag over, she also gave Fushimi Seiichi a beautiful eye roll.

What does it mean that snacks you snatch from your friends taste the best?

Now that you mention it, I feel like I might not be able to keep the rest of my snacks either.

After this little incident, all the members participating in the women's relay race took to the field.

Yotsuba Nakano, just like the number in her name, is the fourth batter.

"Did the Nakano family's children also participate in the competition?" Mrs. Yukinoshita was a little surprised when she saw the familiar figure of Nakano Yotsuba.

Yukino understood that her mother didn't know much about the five Nakano sisters, and with Ichika's influence being so great, many people assumed that the other four girls in the Nakano family also had talent in this area.

"Among the five of them, Yotsuba is the most athletic. Whether it's speed or explosiveness, she can be considered one of the best among the girls," Yukino explained.

"You speak so highly of her? Are you two close?" Yang Nai, who had specially worn a beautiful dress today, couldn't help but become interested.

She was not only wearing a long dress with a cinched waist, but also flesh-colored stockings.

The three of them are now sitting on the sidelines. Because of her casual posture, Yang Nai's shapely legs are showing from under her skirt.

Yukino glanced at it subconsciously.

Then her face darkened, and she wondered if she had been infected by that pervert. When she saw her sister wearing flesh-colored stockings, her first instinct was to take a closer look?

"What are you looking at?" Yang Nai's insight was also very sharp. She guessed her sister's thoughts in almost half a second.

She immediately laughed: "That's right, Yukino is a young lady now, and she's reached the age where she should be dressing up. Since you're interested in stockings, I'll give you a few pairs when we get back today."

Yukino refused expressionlessly: "There's no need for that."

I have my own stockings!

I bought so many black, flesh-colored, and white ones because someone likes them.

However, she did not show it to Fushimi Makoto.

She once saw a quote online: "What you can't have is always more alluring."

Only if you wear it out occasionally as a reward will he always have something to look forward to.

The two sisters started chatting about Yotsuba Nakano, while Mrs. Yukinoshita remained silent throughout.

She was still thinking about Yukino and the stockings.

She knew perfectly well that her youngest daughter wasn't interested in stockings, but the other girl's expression just now suggested she was quite interested.

So the answer is... does that little rascal like it?

She glanced subconsciously at her smooth, jade-like legs, and then remembered the outfit that Sawamura Sayuri had picked out for her that day, which had made someone's eyes light up.

It turns out that it wasn't just that dress that had a special effect on him; her stockings also had an advantage.

Mrs. Yukinoshita inexplicably felt her face getting hot.

As the women's relay race began, the atmosphere around us suddenly became heated... Well, it wasn't actually that heated at first, but the "cheering squad" led by Makoto Fushimi was cheering loudly for Yotsuba Nakano. Apart from Utaha being relatively quiet, Nino and the others were shouting their hearts out.

Seeing how powerful Fushimi Makoto's shout was, Aota and the others immediately roared, "As Fushimi's best friends, how can we lose to him in terms of volume? Let's do it too!"

"Wait, I don't think anyone said there would be a competition based on volume, right?" Hayama Hayato asked, wiping his sweat after the competition.

However, all of his friends joined in the fun with Aota, shouting "Go Yotsuba-kun!" with great enthusiasm. In the end, he could only smile helplessly and join his friends' group.

That's the kind of person he is; he can always make his friends feel comfortable with him immediately.

But he has changed a lot since then.

For example, he found something he wanted to do and something interesting in Makoto Fushimi.

While cheering loudly, Hayama Hayato looked at the pendant given to him by Fushimi Makoto on his wrist and thought to himself, since the Taoist temples in China are so amazing, should I take some time to study them someday?

It's only because Fushimi Makoto didn't know what Hayama Hayato was thinking that he would have warned him: "Don't let your mind wander and suddenly decide you want to become a Taoist priest!"

Given Hayama Hayato's current trust and admiration for him, he felt that it was probably quite possible.

Who knows, if the other person gets carried away and starts bringing out more and more amazing gadgets, and if he ends up staying at the Taoist temple and never comes back, then the school's most dazzling blond heartthrob might also leave everyone.

On the field, Yotsuba Nakano's team was not strong overall. Before she even got the baton, her team was already far behind.

But she was not discouraged at all; on the contrary, her pretty little face was full of fighting spirit.

"I'm not fighting alone, everyone is cheering me on!"

The moment Nakano Yotsuba received the baton from his teammate, he instantly displayed astonishing explosive power.

The speed in such a short time is astonishing.

Finally, with less than 30 meters from the finish line, she overtook the two teammates in front of her and successfully won first place.

"So what you said, Yukino, was true. She really is fast." Haruno exclaimed from the sidelines.

Yukino remained silent.

Even her expression at that moment was somewhat strange.

Because she mentally compared herself to Yotsuba Nakano, she was surprised to find that her speed and explosiveness might be even faster than Yotsuba's.

And it's significantly faster.

Is this the benefit of exercise?

Yukino stroked the pendant around her neck, hesitating whether to make a copy of the schedule for her sister and mother.

This all-around improvement really surprised and delighted her.

"I want to keep improving," she murmured.

Yang Nai looked over in confusion: "What did you say?"

Feeling the astonishing power within her, Yukino raised her head, her smile clear and captivating: "I said, I really want to improve."

Yang Nai: "?"

Chapter 324 I Like You Playing

The Yukino family and the Sawamura family also ate lunch at the school cafeteria.

Since their two families are on good terms now, they simply sat down together.

"I heard that A-Cheng will be playing this afternoon? What kind of competition is he participating in?" Sayuri Sawamura seemed very interested.

Eriri happened to know about this, and as she recalled, she said, "I remember it was their class's tug-of-war competition first, and then Fushimi's individual high jump competition..."

At this point, her small, adorable face was full of confusion: "I heard Ichika and the others say that Fushimi's greatest strengths are his physical fitness, explosiveness, and speed. Logically, he should be participating in running competitions, but he chose high jump instead..."

"Is it just a personal hobby?" Yang Nai guessed.

Yukino then spoke up: "High jump is not his hobby."

"Oh? So Yukino knows inside information?" Sawamura Sayuri immediately looked over.

The same is true for others.

Yukino's expression stiffened slightly. She really wanted to complain that the nickname "Little Yukino" was too childish and too immature.

However, she also knew this beautiful woman's personality well; even if she made a comment, the woman would most likely just smile and say, "Because Yukino is so cute~"

Yukino suddenly felt a headache coming on.

If the other person doesn't just call me "Yukino," I should be able to remain calm and composed.

For example, this beautiful woman calls her older sister "Xiao Yang Nai".

In that way, Yukino would not only feel psychologically balanced, but would even be interested in observing her sister's reaction.

Her thoughts raced for a moment before she said, "Fushimi told me before that he chose the high jump event purely to unlock an achievement."

"Achievements?" No one understood.

"Yes, that's what he said. I don't know the specifics of what he's going to achieve, but he said he'll set the best high jump record in the school's history, and we'll unlock that achievement for him as long as we're there to witness it."

"Huh?" Yang Nai spoke first, her face full of amusement, even putting down her chopsticks: "Isn't this the most annoying riddle teller?"

“The riddle-maker description does fit quite well,” Sayuri Sawamura agreed.

Eriri was also muttering to herself, "Why is Fushimi playing mysterious?"

Only Mrs. Yukinoshita calmly said, "He must have his reasons for doing this."

Sawamura Sayuri wasn't surprised at all. Instead, she joked, "This isn't a formal occasion, so you can relax a bit."

"I'm already very relaxed."

"What I mean is, you can be more lively."

"You mean you want me to be like you? Sorry, I refuse."

Listening to the conversation between the two beautiful women, Haruno secretly tugged at Yukino's sleeve and gestured with her eyes: Isn't the relationship between Mother and Aunt Sayuri a little too good?

Yukino could certainly understand what her sister meant, but she was too lazy to answer such gossipy questions.

Seeing that she wasn't cooperating, Yang Nai deliberately chuckled in a low voice, "You're ignoring me, aren't you? Then I'll go chat with A-Cheng this afternoon."

"Do as you please." Yukino smiled slightly, her smile radiating absolute confidence.

She understands Fushimi Makoto, just as Fushimi Makoto understands her.

Therefore, she was certain that her sister, with her troublesome personality, was not Fushimi Makoto's type at all.

She could even boldly speculate that, in Fushimi's eyes, someone like her sister wouldn't need to talk for long before he uttered the line, "I'm going to torture you severely."

Yukino heard some news about Utaha being tortured by Fushimi Makoto.

Compared to Shiyu's occasional quirky sense of humor, her older sister is known for it quite often.

To use Fushimi Makoto's preferred terminology: This is Haruno's passive skill, and it doesn't even have a cooldown!

The afternoon matches will proceed as scheduled.

First up was the team tug-of-war competition for Makoto Fushimi's class, divided into boys' and girls' groups.

Fushimi Makoto watched as Aota wrapped the rope around his waist, and he suddenly felt uneasy: "Are you trying to commit suicide?"

"No, I'm increasing our chances of winning," Qingtian said confidently.

Hayato Hayama looked over as well, and said with a helpless smile, "The boys in the class across the way are generally stronger and taller than us. If we can't match their strength, then your method of wrapping the rope around your waist will definitely make you uncomfortable..."

As he spoke, he gestured with his hand: "It's like the rope will tighten more and more until you can't breathe."

To everyone's surprise, Aota said with a serious expression, "Victory always comes at a price. Hayama, Fushimi, haven't you heard that famous saying?"

Fushimi Makoto and Hayama Hayato exchanged bewildered glances: "What did you say?"

Aota: "Only by being prepared to die can one have the right to wield a sword against the enemy."

Hayato Hayama's lips twitched. This statement was too childish, but he wouldn't say it out loud because of his personality.

Fushimi Makoto was deeply moved. He patted Aota on the shoulder and said, "So you were already prepared. That's an admirable mindset."

Aota was all smiles, about to spout some more cringeworthy lines, when he was kicked by Fushimi Makoto.

Under his bewildered gaze, Fushimi Makoto said impatiently, "Hurry up and untie the rope."

"Huh? What about the competition then?"

"Don't worry, I'll lead you in the fight," Fushimi Makoto famously said.

Aota subconsciously looked at Hayama Hayato, who smiled and said, "Just listen to him. You can think back to when he made a mistake?"

"That's true."

The boys from both classes entered separately. Since this was not a formal competition, there was no pre-match handshake ceremony.

All the girls that Makoto Fushimi knew on the sidelines were watching this side. Even though the tug-of-war competition wasn't entertaining in their eyes, they still watched very attentively.

As for Yotsuba Nakano, she had already jumped up and cheered loudly for Makoto Fushimi.

The school's loudspeaker broadcasted the news department's voices: "Our school's two most handsome guys, Fushimi and Hayama, have made their appearance! Unfortunately, their opponent is too strong; I feel this contest is a foregone conclusion..."

The sound from the radio suddenly disappeared.

About three seconds later, the pleasant female voice exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? What happened? What happened? Why is it over already?"

On the field, Makoto Fushimi's opponents were equally bewildered, and the teacher who was temporarily acting as referee was also stunned.

You should know that less than a second after he blew the whistle to start the match, the red ribbon symbolizing victory on the rope was instantly pulled towards Fushimi Makoto and his team.
