“So that's how it is…”

Toyohama and Hana took a deep breath to calm themselves and softly asked.

“Then… can you help me too?”

“No.”

To Toyohama and Hana's surprise, Yozora refused without the slightest hesitation, directly and decisively.

“You should know very well why your adolescence syndrome is swapping bodies with your sister. Now that you know the reason, you should also understand that this is a matter between you two sisters. If you want my opinion, there's a very simple solution.”

“What solution?”

Yozora turned his head, looked directly into Toyohama and Hana's eyes, and slowly said.

“Why can't you just have an open and honest conversation? Wouldn't it be better to say what you really think?”

“This…”

Toyohama and Hana sighed and muttered to themselves.

“In this world… who can always say what they really think without concealing anything at all…”

“I can.”

“You…”

Toyohama and Hana originally wanted to express doubt, but then she thought…

This guy in front of her is the type who juggles multiple relationships without hiding anything.

This is already too honest and should be described with another word.

Authentic.

Kyoto's number one eroge shooter's main selling point is authenticity.

The next day, after school, inside the Sobu High School gymnasium.

Today, the gymnasium seemed much more lively than usual, with students from the first to third years gathered here.

Looking at the basketball team members, most of them had expressions of tension mixed with a bit of anticipation, occasionally looking towards the group of people standing on the other side of the court.

“Tsuki, let me introduce you.”

Yozora pointed to Totsuka Saika beside him and smiled at Yagami Tsuki.

“This is Totsuka Saika.”

“Oh.”

Yagami Tsuki looked uninterested, not even thinking about shaking hands with Totsuka Saika, and didn't even glance at him, simply replying casually.

But immediately after, Yozora added.

“He's a boy.”

“What!?”

Upon hearing this, Yagami Tsuki's expression instantly changed, and he immediately turned his head to size up Totsuka Saika, looking quite interested.

Seeing this, Yozora righteously said.

“See, you still say there's nothing wrong with your sexual orientation?”

“There really isn't anything wrong with my sexual orientation…”

“Just keep being stubborn.”

Although Yagami Tsuki's attitude changed so quickly after hearing that Totsuka Saika was a boy was indeed a bit intriguing, in reality, it really had nothing to do with his sexual orientation.

Yagami Tsuki just thought that Yozora actually had male friends, and even ones his age?

Thinking back, what kind of people are this guy's male friends?

The world's strongest detective L, and Yagami Tsuki himself, a seemingly perfect genius high school student, but in reality, he is "Kira," secretly carrying out the elimination of evil and bringing justice to the world.

What does this mean?

It means that Yozora's male friends all have unique skills, are valuable, and are recognized by him.

If this Totsuka Saika was a girl, then Yagami Tsuki wouldn't be interested at all. After all, he has the same attitude towards the members of the Over-Quantity Society. Frankly speaking, he only has Yozora in his eyes, not the girls around him.

But since Totsuka Saika is a boy… does that mean that he, like himself and L, is someone who has gained Yozora's recognition and can stand at the same height?

“Um…”

Totsuka Saika extended his hand to Yagami Tsuki, a warm smile appearing on his face, looking a little embarrassed.

“Yagami-san, I've heard of you. Our coach said that among the people in our year, there's a genius tennis player who won the national championship in middle school, but it's a pity that he didn't continue to participate after entering high school. If you have time, I hope you can give our tennis club some guidance.”

Noticing Yagami Tsuki's questioning gaze, Yozora shrugged, not caring at all.

“Come if you have time, don't ask me, I'm a competitive player.”

Yagami Tsuki was a little surprised to hear this.

“You're going to compete? Playing tennis?”

“Of course.”

“Can you play tennis?”

“I know a little, barely know a move that can make the ball spin to the extreme and then create a tornado on the court. It's considered my trump card, what about you, Tsuki?”

“Uh…”

Yagami Tsuki's mouth twitched a few times, and he said in a low voice.

“My… my trump card… is a fast serve…”

Yagami Tsuki didn't want to continue.

Are we even talking about the same thing?

You're over there with a tornado destroying a parking lot, and my signature move is a powerful serve?

This isn't even the same sport, it's not even the same style, right!?

If it were someone else, Yagami Tsuki would definitely think that the other person was talking nonsense, but if it were Yozora…

This guy might really be able to hit that kind of ball…

“Um, Yozora-san.”

Just then, the basketball team's coach ran over, looking at Yozora in front of him with a flattering smile.

“Today's match… I hope both sides play well and show the spirit of sportsmanship…”

“Sportsmanship?”

Yozora directly interrupted the basketball team coach, looked at Koga Tomoe standing on the sidelines, and the few female friends beside her, and shook his head with a chuckle.

“The reason I asked you to compete is because I want to win. There's no such thing as sportsmanship, only making you lose face badly.”

Before the basketball team coach could reply, Yozora walked forward, put his arm around the other's shoulder, and showed a kind smile.

“By the way, if you can't even beat someone like me who can't play basketball, you can disband. The school will definitely agree with my opinion, so…”

Yozora patted the other's shoulder and said with a smile.

“Do your best.”

“Yes… okay…”

Hearing Yozora's words, the smile on the basketball team coach's face obviously froze, and after awkwardly replying, he turned around and walked towards his teammates, gathering everyone together and starting to say something.

“Sigh, how boring.”

Yagami Tsuki looked uninterested, even a little impatient, took off his coat, and stretched his shoulders. Although it was just a simple warm-up movement, combined with his outstanding appearance and innate noble temperament, it still attracted the attention of many girls watching on the sidelines.

He looked at Yozora standing beside him and said softly.

“You know very well that we can't possibly lose a basketball game like this, so why are you still holding a so-called match? And you even specially called me over from Tokyo, I really don't understand what you're thinking.”

“Okay, I'll explain it to you in simple terms.”

Yozora pointed to a tall, handsome, but somewhat frivolous-looking boy in the Sobu High School basketball team.

“That's Maezawa. Your first task is to try to make him look bad, tease him, play with him, or knock him down, anything is fine.”

“Then, your second task is to try to look cool during the game, preferably the kind of cool that makes girls' hearts flutter and instantly fall for you.”

Yagami Tsuki was even more puzzled and asked.

“Is it that simple?”

Yozora nodded and replied with a smile.

“Yes, it's that simple.”

“I'm not saying…”

Yagami Tsuki had an incredulous expression and lowered his voice.

“You're better at making others look bad and showing off, right?”

Yozora explained very seriously.

“Precisely because I'm too good at it, I need someone with enough ability, possessing the same appearance and charm as me, with extraordinary talent, and recognized by me to help me, so that I can achieve my original goal without causing me subsequent trouble. I thought about it…”

Speaking of this, Yozora put his hand on Yagami Tsuki's shoulder and said earnestly.

“It's only you, Tsuki!”

Yagami Tsuki sighed helplessly.

“You don't need to flatter me, I'll definitely help you anyway.”

“I knew I could count on you.”

Yozora patted Yagami Tsuki's shoulder and said with a smile.

“To thank you for your help, I'll show you hospitality and treat you to dinner later, don't be polite.”

“Dinner? What are we eating? Is it… evil spirits?”

“No, appetizer salad, main course soy sauce fried rice, dessert chocolate chip cookies.”

“You're making it quite formal.”

“Of course.”

Yozora patted Yagami Tsuki's shoulder and said something that instantly made the other lose all resistance.

“You're a partner I recognize.”

Meanwhile, Koga Tomoe, who was watching on the sidelines, looked at the brown-haired handsome guy from a foreign school in Tokyo standing next to Yozora, and vaguely guessed the other's intentions.

She originally thought that Yozora's plan was to threaten Maezawa-senpai, not allowing him to confess to her, which was also very much in line with Yozora's reputation in school.

But now it seems that the other party has chosen a more stable plan.

Through this basketball game, he will make his good friend Reina no longer like that Maezawa-senpai. When Maezawa-senpai comes to confess to her, she can just refuse frankly, and everything will be okay, because then Maezawa-senpai will no longer be the boy that her good friend likes, but just a senior student.

As for why Yozora doesn't do it himself?

Um…

Koga Tomoe can only roughly guess that it's because he doesn't want to be too high-profile… right? But this is completely inconsistent with his personality.

The real reason is actually very simple.

Yozora is trying to avoid looking too handsome, so that he won't be liked by Koga Tomoe's love-obsessed friend.

A love triangle is fine.

The problem is, what if Koga Tomoe relapses? What will he do then?

Prevention is better than cure, be cautious.

When the game was about to begin, Yozora looked around at the students on the sidelines and said with a smile.

“We're still missing two people, is there anyone who wants to volunteer?”
