Nino's Bet

"Stop talking, let's see what they want the Yotsuba to do?"

Nino hastily stopped fighting, hid outside the window, and continued to observe secretly.

Naoki looked towards the gymnasium.

The basketball club training had ended, and some of the girls had sat down to rest while wiping their sweat.

One of the girls with a single ponytail who met at the forest school with Yotsuba, the distance was too far, and Naoki couldn't hear what she was saying, he could only see Yotsuba nod and leave in a hurry.

"What did they tell the Yotsuba to do?"

Nino asked with a curious face.

Naoki said unhurriedly, "After sweaty training, what is the most needed…"

"It..."

Nino couldn't answer.

"Needless to say." Naoki said quietly, "Forget that you have no sweaty training experience."

"Stupid Asakawa!" Nino blushed and pinched him, "Now is not the time to complain about me."

Naoki grabbed Nino's right hand into his.

Sweaty palms.

Sure enough, summer is not the season for holding hands.

"W-What are you doing?"

Nino was shocked, his face quickly turned red, and she looked around subconsciously.

She had the courage to beat Naoki because she had always been brave, but she was still a little guilty and embarrassed when Naoki pulled his hand at school.

"Follow me." Naoki whispered "I can probably guess what the Yotsuba is doing."

The two circled around the gymnasium and soon arrived at an open faucet outside the gym.

Sure enough, the Yotsuba was washing his face and drinking water here.

After a sweaty summer workout, it's natural to enjoy cooling off and replenishing moisture.

After drinking a few sips of water, Yotsuba again washed his face, then wiped his hands on his shirt, turned around and walked over to the vending machine, and started buying drinks.

After a while, she bought several types of drinks large and small, then returned to the gym with drinks.

"Turns out letting the Yotsuba run errands to buy something?!" Nino gritted his teeth angrily "They really bullied the Yotsuba."

"Calm." Naoki said calmly, "This level is not bullying."

"That's still not bullying?" Nino gritted his teeth, "So many people are sitting and resting, why let the Yotsuba come to buy drinks alone?"

"Someone has to buy a drink." Naoki said nonchalantly, "Yotsuba is a person who can't stand still, so it's possible that she took the initiative to help others in various ways."

Nino said displeasedly: "Why do you always help other people talk?"

"I do not."

"You obviously did."

"Okay." Naoki grabbed Nino's finger and raised his eyebrows slightly, "I need to show you what real bullying is."

"Nino." Naoki's tone suddenly became serious, "I'm thirsty, go and buy me a cold bottle of drink."

Nino put his hand on his chest: "Can't you buy it yourself?"

"Not." Naoki said without changing his face, "The sun is too strong, I don't want to be in the sun."

"…Shameless!"

Nino is very upset, you don't want to be in the sun, so I just want to be in the sun!

At a time like that, men should come forward, right? How can you instruct girls to run errands!

"What are you drinking?"

Nino was reluctant to get ready to buy drinks.

"A bottle of Coke ice." Naoki said the request, then said shamelessly, "By the way, I didn't bring money today, you can buy it for me first, and pay you back tomorrow."

After a pause, Naoki said nonchalantly:

"I'm just saying, don't take it seriously, and I wouldn't pay you back if I had the money."

"You, you…" Nino opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but complain, "Wouldn't your conscience be hurt!"

Naoki pressed his chest: "It doesn't hurt at all, I'm still very happy."

Nino: "😐"

"That's the situation." Naoki held Nino in his arms, walked around the shadow in the corner to return to the window just now, "There's no one to help with the task, and Yotsuba doesn't have a 50 degree fever, so it's hard to walk..."

"A high fever of 50 degrees will kill you soon!"

"All in all, let's see how it goes." Naoki calmly said, "Giving money after drinking is a duty between friends, and not giving money after drinking is bullying."

Nino looked closely at the gymnasium, and saw several girls in the basketball club sitting in a row, drinking and chatting while drinking.

Instead of hiding in a corner and being abandoned as he had imagined, Yotsuba sat next to a young girl with a bright smile.

Finish the drink.

Some of the girls in the basketball club started training again.

"You said it right." Nino widened her eyes and said aggressively, "None of the girls gave money to the Yotsuba."

"So..." Naoki grabbed Nino's wrist, "They wear basketball uniforms and have no pockets at all, right?"

Nino calmed down a bit, "Why did the Yotsuba bring money?"

"I don't know." Naoki answered simply, and of course he wouldn't guess anything he didn't know. "You can go back and ask the Yotsuba... Continue to observe, wait for their club activities to end, then take a look at the situation."

"I think they must be like you." Nino hummed discontentedly, "When the time comes, they'll pay it back tomorrow, and then they'll immediately forget about it."

Naoki shook his head: "I don't think so."

They were a sports club, not a concentration camp for bad girls, so the chances of male and female bullying were very low.

"Huh." Nino turned to look, "How about a bet?"

"Bet what?"

"Just bet on who guesses right." Nino lifted his chin, revealing a snow-white neck, "If you lose, give me a shoulder massage three times."

Naoki is not committed: "You lost?"

"I lost…" Nino's face turned red, and she bravely looked up, "I'll kiss you if I lose.

....

At the same time.

Inside the library.

"Asakawa-san hasn't come yet?"

Ogata tilted his head to look at Furuhashi and asked in confusion.

"Why are you all asking me…" Furuhashi stuttered, fiddling with the eraser on the table, "Asakawa-san should be doing something today, right?"

"Today we study together."

After saying that.

Furuhashi always felt a little irritated and couldn't calm down.

What is Asakawa-san doing?

Did she want to take the opportunity to ask...

Forget it, they're just friends and shouldn't interfere in other people's private lives.

But... Aunt asked me to look after Asakawa-san at school, so it's natural to ask, right?

...

In the blink of an eye, it was night.

Basketball training camp is finally over.

A group of girls chirped and walked out.

"Come out." Nino's eyes lit up, and she hastily pushed Naoki down, "It's time to decide the outcome!"

"The secret observation is to see if the Yotsuba is being bullied, don't forget the business."

Naoki looked at the girl in the basketball club while complaining.

The sun has set.

The afternoon wind blows.

Several girls walked out of the gym, took out their wallets one after another, and returned the money for drinks to the Yotsuba.

"Looks like the outcome has already been decided." Naoki looked at Nino and said quietly, "I won."
