Chapter 296 296: Playing Games and Winning Prizes
Tenya cursed inwardly, wondering which idiot ruined his good mood.
As they approached, they found two girls arguing over a boy. The boy stood nearby, appearing helpless and awkward.
"You scumbag!" Tenya scolded the other party.
"...."
Yukino, however, widened her eyes, staring at him with a strange expression.
Well, well!
Is it really okay for you to say such words?
Tenya was scolding the boy who was being fought over by two girls. The boy looked helpless, his face flushed, wanting to explain, but was too intimidated by Tenya's imposing presence to speak.
"You fellow..."
"How dare you say such words?!"
Yukino widened her eyes, staring at Tenya with a strange expression. Her eyes held both surprise at the farce unfolding before her and speechlessness at Tenya's words and actions. After all, Tenya's own rich experience in relationships made it rather comical for him to utter words like scumbag.
"Look at you, making two girls fight over you. Can't you handle your own relationship problems?"
Tenya continued to lecture, and the boy lowered his head, not daring to meet his gaze.
Gradually, some classmates gathered around, all curiously watching this sudden "lecture."
"I… I didn't want it to be like this, they both suddenly…"
The boy finally managed to squeeze out a sentence, his voice tinged with grievance.
"Don't want it to be like this? Your usual behavior must have given them the wrong signals, which led to this situation." Tenya crossed his arms, looking like he was lecturing someone.
Yukino, standing nearby, couldn't help but tug on his sleeve and whispered, "Tenya, don't meddle too much, this is their private matter."
However, Tenya had no intention of stopping. He looked at the two girls and said, "You two shouldn't argue either. It's not worth it for such an irresponsible boy. He can't even face his true feelings."
"Yoshida-san is right."
The two girls seemed to have had an epiphany, staring at Tenya with expressions of admiration. It was as if they wanted to say that if he just spoke, the two girls would immediately throw themselves into his arms without hesitation.
"You've had enough." Yukino stepped forward and interrupted.
"Yukino, did I look like a righteous messenger just now?" Tenya raised his hand to brush his hair back, a teasing look on his face.
"What kind of righteousness is your behavior?" Yukino rolled her eyes, indicating she was speechless.
"Those with unstable hearts are not worthy of having a harem." Tenya said.
"I don't want to hear your sophistry and heresies." Yukino turned away from him and walked towards the stalls of the cultural festival.
"Yukino, let's go play something." Tenya suggested enthusiastically.
"What's fun?"
Yukino said, "These games are too childish," but her eyes were fixed on the dart-throwing area.
Especially when she saw a panda doll hanging on the wall, the undisguised anticipation in her eyes was caught by Tenya.
"Let's go."
He pulled Yukino and walked towards the dart-throwing area.
Tenya walked to the stall, scanned the QR code, picked up a dart, and said confidently, "Yukino, watch closely, I'll show you a trick."
With a casual throw, the dart flew out, cutting the rope holding a dog doll.
"Hey! You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Yukino glared at him.
He clearly knew she didn't like dogs.
"This is Yui's present." Tenya smiled faintly.
"Mentioning another girl's name during a date is really terrible." Yukino's eyes showed disdain.
"You'll get used to it. You two are the best of friends."
Tenya had certainly done it on purpose, his goal being to desensitize her. Through subtle influence, he wanted Yukino to accept a polyamorous relationship.
"I'm not going to argue with you." Yukino picked up a dart and aimed at the target panda doll.
"What a pity, just one centimeter off." The stall owner chuckled.
The dart props were specially made, filled with metal, and unbalanced in weight from front to back, which made it very difficult to control the trajectory of the flight.
"Hehe. Yukino, let me teach you personally."
Tenya walked behind Yukino with a smile, gently held her arm, adjusted her posture, and patiently said, "Keep your arm steady, pay attention to your wrist movement when you exert force…"
Actually, these were all secondary. If he wanted to hit the target, he could hit it even if he threw it backward with his eyes closed. The reason for such a small movement was purely to take advantage.
"You'd better not go too far."
Yukino felt Tenya's breath, her face turned redder, and her heart beat involuntarily faster.
The dart hit the panda doll, and Yukino's eyes revealed a look of surprise.
"How was it? Yukino, how should you reward me?" Tenya took the opportunity to make more bold requests.
Tenya's interaction with Yukino at the dart-throwing stall brought a blush to her usually cool face, and Tenya's eyes were full of smiles.
"I won this panda doll especially for you. How do you plan to thank me?"
Tenya leaned close to Yukino with a mischievous smile, deliberately whispering in her ear.
Yukino's face instantly turned even redder. She turned her head and snorted lightly, "Hmph, it's just a doll, who cares?"
But her hands unconsciously hugged the panda doll tighter, a hint of joy hidden in her eyes.
The two continued to stroll around the campus. When they passed a ring toss game stall, Tenya saw a set of exquisite books, and Utaha's image immediately appeared in his mind.
"Yukino, wait for me." Tenya said and walked towards the ring toss stall.
After paying, he picked up the rings, ready to show off his skills.
"Haven't you had enough fun yet?"
Although Yukino said this, she still stared intently at Tenya's every move.
Tenya took a deep breath, adjusted his posture, and threw the rings one by one. His technique was skillful, and in a short while, he successfully ring-tossed the set of books.
"This is a good novel." Tenya accepted the prize book.
"Are you planning to give this to Kasumigaoka-senpai?" Yukino frowned slightly, a hint of barely perceptible jealousy flashing in her eyes.
"Hehe, you found out. But don't worry, you are unique in my heart."
Tenya did not deny this, and while saying so, he took Yukino's hand and gently squeezed it.
Yukino rolled her eyes at him but didn't pull away. The two continued to stroll hand in hand around the campus.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the campus, Yui and Iroha were excitedly discussing their feelings after the performance backstage.
"Yui-senpai, today's performance was so much fun. Thanks to Tenya-senpai's idea."
Iroha's face was beaming with a bright smile, and her eyes were full of admiration for Tenya.
"Yes, Tenya-kun always comes up with such interesting ideas." Yui said, a hint of sweetness flashing in her eyes.
"Oh dear. I wonder which girl Tenya-senpai is with now?" Iroha sighed.
He is good at everything, except he's too greedy.
...
The fervor of the school cultural festival gradually subsided at Sobu High School.
The morning sun gently sprinkled on the campus paths. Tenya arrived at school early. As soon as he entered the classroom, he saw Megumi sitting quietly at her desk, reading.
"Morning, Megumi." Tenya greeted with a smile.
Megumi looked up, a faint smile on her face as she responded, "Morning, Tenya-kun."
"Studying so early, you're very diligent, Megumi." Tenya teased.
"I can't help it, I don't have any special abilities. I can only study hard like a background character, serving as a backdrop for Tenya-kun's wonderful school life." Megumi replied unhurriedly.
"Not a background character, but a background heroine. Megumi, in my heart, you will always be the heroine." Tenya's coaxing words came easily.
"Just one of them, right?" Megumi saw through his scheme at a glance.
"As expected of my Megumi." Tenya, whose inner thoughts were exposed, nodded frankly.
"Ah..." Megumi sighed helplessly.
