Chapter 77: Practice for the Qualifiers

"Thank you for the food"

The three first years of Class 4 made a praying gesture before they started eating lunch. As usual, the two boys were impressed of Ayame's bento, which she made herself.

"You can get one if you guys want to" she told them after noticing how they stare on her bento.

"Ah, it's okay. We're just impressed by your bento" Yamaguchi told her "It's really amazing as always"

"Thanks" she smiled before remembering something "Ah, by the way, Daichi-nii said that there is someone he wants to introduce to us later"

"Yeah, he also emailed us" Tsukishima said.

"I wonder who it is?" she wondered out loud "It could probably be a player or coach. Ah, geez! I can't wait for club activities so I can meet this person!"

She ate with an excited air around her. Yamaguchi couldn't help but smile, influenced by her happiness.

"Me too. I also want to meet this person"

"Sorry but I'm not as excited as you two" the megane said.

"It's okay. I already know that Tsukishima-kun is that kind of person" she said before noticing her classmate calling her "Ah, please excuse me"

She stood up from her seat. The two glanced at her lunch and were surprised that she's all done after that small talk, whereas the two barely reached the half of their own lunch.

"She really has the appetite of a beast..." the two sweat dropped.

She returned back to them with a frown on her face.

"What's wrong?" the freckled teen asked; until he realized it after he saw the boy whom she talked to earlier leave their room with a dejected face.

"Another confession" she sighed "And I thought it's all over..."

"It is not over, actually" the blonde said "After joining the club, the percentage of the confessions dropped to about 60%"

"You don't have to give me the statistics for it"

A certain second year duo entered Yamaguchi's mind "I have a feeling that Tanaka-san and Nishinoya-san were responsible for most of it"

She sighed "I just wish that they would stop..."

"You know, Ayame, if you really want these confessions to stop..." Tsukishima suddenly said. Ayame's ears perked and the freckled teen stiffened, realizing what he is about to say "You just need a boyfriend to make it stop"

He ignored the way the megane is looking at him intensely, but he couldn't help but sweat bullets.

"Isn't that right, Yamaguchi?" he asked inquiringly.

"T-That...depends..." he gulped "But you got a point..."

Ayame recalled what the freckled teen told her about Tsukishima and the third years' teasing. Oh, how she wanted to help him in a way the megane won't be suspicious.

"Why a boyfriend?" she asked, with a hint of her usual curiosity while pretending she didn't have one.

"Well, if you have one, the other guys would back off. Obviously, it's because you're taken. Also, perhaps someone from this class would be a perfect choice since it's more convenient" Tsukishima explained, as if it was the most obvious thing "Simple solution, right?"
