Chapter 338

"Good! Good! Good! Now that's like a man!"

Hanyu Shinkei sighed helplessly and shook his head.

He had originally thought Natsume Chikage was a smart person, but now it seems he might have thought too much.

Konoe Hitomi, seeing this, added:

"However, considering Natsume-kun has never come into contact with baseball, we will give him one month of learning and training time."

"Zhongdao-kun, you can accept this, right?"

Zhongdao Satoshi laughed out loud:

"It's only a month, what's there not to accept?"

"Even if he practices for another semester, so what?"

Hanyu Shinkei pondered for a moment and said to Natsume Chikage:

"Natsume-kun, you can consider it."

"If there is a semester of training time, perhaps..."

Konoe Hitomi interrupted him:

"No. I have another agreement with Natsume-kun in private."

"Therefore, I only allow him one month of training time."

She turned to Natsume Chikage and confirmed:

"Natsume-kun, you should have no problem with this, right?"

Natsume Chikage nodded:

"No problem."

Seeing him agree so calmly, Hanyu Shinkei stopped trying to persuade him.

He had also originally liked Tsukishima Rin and intended to win against Natsume Chikage fair and square, disdaining the use of other means.

Now it seems Natsume Chikage might not even be qualified to be an opponent.

Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say.

Konoe Hitomi said with satisfaction:

"Since both parties have no objections to the wager itself, then next, you can start negotiating the conditions after the outcome."

"A prior statement: once the negotiation is confirmed, the loser must fulfill the treaty and shall not have any complaints."

"But if an agreement cannot be reached at this stage, then this wager will also not be established."

Zhongdao Satoshi, upon hearing this, immediately rushed to speak:

"If I win, Natsume Chikage, this scumbag, must stay away from Classmate Tsukishima from now on!"

Natsume Chikage showed a confused expression:

"Me—a scumbag?"

"Senior Zhongdao, I don't quite understand, can you explain this statement?"

Zhongdao Satoshi snorted coldly and said righteously:

"You guy, surrounded by so many pretty girls all day long. If you really date Classmate Tsukishima in the future, you'll definitely still be flirting around everywhere!"

"I know Classmate Tsukishima doesn't like me, and I know I'm not worthy of her. But I absolutely will not allow my beloved Classmate Tsukishima to be sad and cry because of a scumbag like you!!"

Some of the male student council members present, after hearing this, secretly marveled in their hearts: This is truly the ultimate sycophant!!

But they also had to admit that, judging from Natsume Chikage's current situation, this situation could indeed happen.

After all, there are really too many girls in school who like him.

Surrounded by so many competitors, even if Tsukishima Rin really dates Natsume Chikage, the situation Zhongdao Satoshi is worried about is not impossible.

For a moment.

The boys who originally felt Natsume Chikage was being bullied innocently suddenly understood and even agreed with Zhongdao Satoshi's thoughts.

Feeling that this might not be bad.

And the girls, upon hearing this, although their feelings were complicated, thought to themselves: If Zhongdao Satoshi wins and Tsukishima Rin is out, maybe I'll have a chance?

"Seems... to make some sense."

"I think this condition is quite reasonable."

"Yeah, no problem."

Even Hanyu Shinkei felt that this result... didn't seem bad either.

Natsume Chikage was a bit dumbfounded and didn't know how to complain about it.

What is all this?

Do I look that much like a scumbag?

Hanyu Shinkei thought for a moment and still reminded him:

"Zhongdao-kun, a prior statement: even if you win in the end, it doesn't mean Classmate Tsukishima will choose to date you because of it."

"Are you sure you want to use this as a condition for the wager?"

Zhongdao Satoshi nodded heavily:

"I am sure!"

Konoe Hitomi looked at Natsume Chikage and asked:

"Natsume-kun, do you agree to this condition?"

Natsume Chikage shook his head:

"I do not agree."

Zhongdao Satoshi immediately gritted his teeth:

"I knew it—!!"

Hanyu Shinkei asked:

"Can you tell us your reason?"

Natsume Chikage explained:

"First of all, this is a wager between the two of us, and I don't want to involve an unrelated third party."

"Especially in a situation where Senior Tsukishima is unaware and may not necessarily agree."

"Just imagine, everyone present, if you became a bargaining chip in someone else's wager without your knowledge... you probably wouldn't feel happy either, right?"

"Therefore, whether it's Senior Tsukishima or anyone else. Unless the person involved participates voluntarily, I don't want to involve them."

His words touched many people present.

Even Hanyu Shinkei and Zhongdao Satoshi fell into a brief silence.

They seemed to have never stood in Tsukishima Rin's position to consider her feelings about being inexplicably dragged into a dispute.

And Konoe Hitomi, upon hearing these words, saw ripples that were difficult to perceive appear in her originally calm eyes.

Natsume Chikage continued:

"Of course, I understand Senior Zhongdao's concerns; you are afraid that I will hurt Senior Tsukishima."

"How about this: if I lose, I promise to remain single throughout my three years of high school."

"This wager only binds me, and it completely fits your original intention, what do you think?"

"As for the conditions for my victory, it's also very simple."

"I personally have a small hobby of collecting, if I win, I want that silver bat you have as a souvenir."

"In addition, you must not interfere with the normal life of me and those around me in any way from now on."

Zhongdao Satoshi, upon hearing this, was silent for a long time, and a look of approval gradually appeared on his face.

Although that bat has been with him for a long time and is something he cherishes.

It's not that it can't be discarded.

As for Natsume Chikage's latter condition—if he really loses, naturally he won't have the face to harass the other party and those around him anymore, so he has no opinion.

But what surprised him even more was that Natsume Chikage was so responsible and cared so much about Classmate Tsukishima's thoughts, which made him look at Natsume Chikage with new eyes.

He nodded heavily and said in a deep voice:

"Being able to offer this condition, and even being able to consider Classmate Tsukishima's thoughts, I admit, you have changed my opinion slightly, you are indeed a man."

"As for the condition you mentioned, I agree."

At this time, several girls in the student council couldn't sit still.

"Then what if other girls want to date Natsume-kun?"

"Yeah, doesn't this condition expand the scope of 'victims'?"
