Then Serizawa Yukiha again showed a conflicted expression and opened her mouth to say to Hikari, "Um, Hikari-kun, there's something I'm not sure if I should say… I'm afraid I might bother you…"
"It's okay, go ahead."
Serizawa Yukiha immediately said, "It's just that these past few days, on my way home, I've felt kind of anxious…"
Hikari slightly raised an eyebrow, "Hm?"
Serizawa Yukiha continued in a low voice, "I vaguely feel like someone is secretly watching me, following me…"
"You're worried it's that guy, Kitou Masami?", Hikari asked.
Serizawa Yukiha nodded, "Yeah! But that Kitou Masami guy shouldn't know where my house is… maybe, it's just my imagination."
Serizawa Yukiha herself wasn't sure whether that uneasiness was just her illusion.
Ever since the first time she was almost deceived and assaulted by Kitou Masami, she had been full of vigilance and anxiety toward others. Only when close to Hikari could she feel a reassuring warmth.
These past few days, she constantly wanted to be near Hikari, to stay with him.
But she also knew that she and Hikari weren't related, so she was always afraid of troubling him.
Today, she couldn't help but speak up.
Seeing the unease in Serizawa Yukiha's heart, Hikari comforted her, "Be extra careful about this matter."
"And remember to carry the protective charm I gave you at all times. If anything happens, contact me right away. Don't be afraid of troubling me."
Hearing Hikari's words, Serizawa Yukiha's heart warmed. She nodded happily, "Okay! Then tonight I'll wait at home for Hikari-kun. You have to come, okay."
"Mm, I will," Hikari waved his hand toward the departing Serizawa Yukiha.
And Serizawa Yukiha, who got a positive response, also left with a happy smile.
After watching Serizawa Yukiha leave, Hikari touched his belly and stretched, "Just ate, time to walk a bit…"
After a full meal, Hikari didn't want to sit around; he wanted to get a little exercise.
He didn't originally have this habit.
But recently, every lunchtime after eating, Natsuha and Akane would drag him to the rooftop for some three-person exercise to help digest.
This had become a habit for Hikari, now every time after lunch, his lower belly would feel a bit warm.
But today, unlike usual, there were no beautiful girls dragging him to the rooftop for exercise.
After all, yesterday he had tormented Natsuha, Akane, and Ruri, those three gyaru girls, pretty badly.
No one could help him digest and vent.
So today Hikari planned to go for a walk on his own, or maybe find Shirakawa Miwa for a random chat.
But just as Hikari was about to go downstairs, a graceful figure suddenly rushed up the stairs.
When the person saw Hikari, she was first stunned, then quickly walked toward him.
"Hikari-kun!"
Looking at the figure walking toward him, Hikari turned his head, "Saya-senpai?"
This suddenly appearing beautiful girl was none other than Sakuramiya Saya.
"What's wrong, Saya-senpai, is something up?", Hikari saw Sakuramiya Saya walking straight toward him and asked.
"Uh… I originally came to look for Hinata, but I didn't see her. Instead, I happened to run into you, Hikari-kun."
"Since it's such a coincidence, would you mind coming with me to the Kyudo Club? I want to practice archery and hope to get your guidance."
Sakuramiya Saya invited Hikari.
Hearing this, Hikari thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Alright."
Anyway, he had nothing else to do, he'd just planned to walk a bit after eating.
Although it was a bit strange that Sakuramiya Saya said she was looking for Sakuramiya Hinata but came straight to him, Hikari didn't bother thinking too much.
Hikari followed Sakuramiya Saya to the Kyudo Club's activity room.
Maybe because it was lunchtime, the entire Kyudo Club was nearly empty.
After arriving at the Kyudo Club, Sakuramiya Saya went to change into clothes suitable for archery.
Hikari picked up a bow and arrow by himself and casually shot a few arrows.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
With a master-level archery skill, his arrows naturally all hit the target, each one in the bullseye.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
A round of applause sounded behind him.
"Hikari-kun, you're amazing!"
Hearing the praise, Hikari turned his head.
He saw Sakuramiya Saya, who had just changed into her kyudo uniform in the break room, come out while clapping her hands and complimenting him.
Even though she was wearing a loose kyudo outfit, Sakuramiya Saya's curvaceous figure couldn't be concealed.
The white kyudo uniform was stretched taut by her full and round chest, a red belt wrapped around her slender waist, and her fair, long legs beneath the skirt looked graceful and beautiful, while her pert bottom outlined a perfect curve.
Whether it was her voluptuous figure or her beautiful face, Sakuramiya Saya's title as the goddess of the Kyudo Club was well-deserved.
Under Hikari's gaze, Sakuramiya Saya walked over, took the bow and arrow from his hand, and praised, "Hikari-kun's archery is really amazing. If you competed in a tournament, you'd surely win the championship."
To this praise from the Kyudo Club goddess, Hikari casually replied, "If you practice more, Saya-senpai, you can do it too."
"Once you get used to aiming with one eye, your archery will improve a lot."
Sakuramiya Saya immediately nodded, "Mm, I'll be counting on your guidance."
At first, when they met, Sakuramiya Saya didn't believe in Hikari's archery skills.
Even though her younger sister Sakuramiya Hinata told her that Hikari was really good, she hadn't believed it.
But after witnessing Hikari's skills with her own eyes, Sakuramiya Saya was completely convinced.
Because of that, she asked Hikari to teach her archery.
Just like usual, Hikari stood behind Sakuramiya Saya.
From time to time, he would reach out to correct her posture and guide her.
Though he was teaching in close proximity, Hikari maintained a respectful distance, about a fist's width away.
But today, Sakuramiya Saya seemed different from usual.
Hikari noticed that during the process of shooting, she would deliberately or unintentionally move backward, sometimes bumping into his chest.
And that kyudo uniform was quite thin, wearing it was almost like not wearing anything. The sensation of skin contact was extremely clear.
"Hikari-kun, is this how you shoot?", Sakuramiya Saya asked while drawing the bow, her body leaning a little closer to Hikari behind her.
"Yes, but you need to use more force, pull the bow further back. That way, the shot will be accurate and hit the bullseye," Hikari said.
"But if I pull too hard, it hurts, and I might break the bow…", Sakuramiya Saya said.
"Then you need to… train more," Hikari was answering, but halfway through, he suddenly felt a fragrant scent in his nose, and a slight softness against his chest.
Looking down, he found Sakuramiya Saya's back already pressed against his chest, her whole body was almost leaning into his arms.
And he also noticed that unlike usual, when she would wear an underlayer beneath the kyudo uniform, today she seemed to only be wearing the kyudo outfit.
The uniform's neckline was rather loose, and from his high vantage point behind her, he could clearly see an astonishingly fair and full chest.
And if that were the only thing, it wouldn't be too bad.
But Sakuramiya Saya's great figure wasn't just in her upper body, her lower body was equally impressive.
She probably trained regularly for archery.
Her upper limbs were slender, and her lower limbs were just as good. Her hips were round and perky, no wonder she was called the goddess of the Kyudo Club.
But at this moment, that excellence gave Hikari a bit of a headache.
Because during her bow-drawing process, Sakuramiya Saya kept moving back and forth.
With her back pressed against his chest, her lower half was naturally also approaching and touching him.
In short, these repeated and seemingly accidental touches, were starting to drive him crazy.
Normally, Hikari wouldn't lose composure so easily.
But today, he was supposed to digest his lunch on the rooftop with Natsuha and Akane as usual.
But since they didn't come to school today, Hikari had already been holding back some fire.
Now add Sakuramiya Saya's suggestive actions, Hikari really was about to lose it.
"Ah! So hot!", Sakuramiya Saya suddenly let out a soft cry.
"What's hot?", Hikari asked, his head pounding.
"T-The floor…", Sakuramiya Saya lowered her head slightly.
Hikari looked down and saw that Sakuramiya Saya wasn't wearing shoes.
Usually, the Kyudo Club's floor was clean, so it was fine to be barefoot. But today the weather was hot, and the floor seemed to be slightly burning.
Hikari shook his head and continued teaching her archery.
"Ah! So hard!", Sakuramiya Saya again cried out softly.
"The floor again?", Hikari directly asked this time.
"Mm… I didn't notice it before, but today I suddenly feel the floor of the archery range is so hard and hot, it's killing me…", Sakuramiya Saya said, her pretty face slightly red.
Hikari shook his head and said nothing more.
The two continued practicing archery without speaking.
The atmosphere became somewhat strange.
Then Sakuramiya Saya suddenly spoke, "Um, Hikari-kun, I have something I want to tell you."
"It's just… now that you and Hinata are supposed to be in a relationship, if you don't know anything about her, I'm afraid you'll slip up."
"So I wanted to tell you about some of Hinata's personal habits. Is that okay?"
Hikari nodded, "Sure."
Sakuramiya Saya immediately said, "Hinata doesn't like food that's too spicy or too salty, and after meals she likes to eat desserts. Also…"
As she spoke, Sakuramiya Saya kept drawing the bow and adjusting her posture, her body moving back and forth, brushing constantly.
Hikari listened, unsure whether her actions were intentional or not.
This ambiguous situation was really maddening.
If he weren't the pure love war god, Hikari would've already pushed Sakuramiya Saya down and given her a hard lesson, shooting arrows should be about just shooting arrows.
Listening to Sakuramiya Saya go on and on about Sakuramiya Hinata's various likes and living habits, Hikari felt his head pounding.
His brain was already starting to feel numb and swollen.
Thinking for a moment, Hikari took a step back and said, "Alright, no need to say more about Hinata. I get the gist of it."
"I'm getting a bit tired from the archery practice. Let's rest for now."
Feeling Hikari's body move away from her, Sakuramiya Saya was first a bit nervous, but upon hearing the slight annoyance in his tone, as if he was sick of hearing about Hinata's personal habits, her heart was secretly pleased.
