As the tram door slowly opened, a slender figure stepped onto the platform.
As soon as he got off the bus, someone recognized him.
"Ah, it's Kato-san."
"Good morning, Kato-san."
"I went to watch the game yesterday. You are so awesome!"
"Super strong, Kato-kun!"
Students wearing Toyosaki uniforms greeted him one after another.
In just one day, it was as if everyone knew him.
Kato Yusuke paused for a moment, but he still nodded to the unfamiliar faces and then left quickly with his head lowered.
But there were some things that he still couldn't avoid, the moment he crossed the gate of Toyosaki School.
"Three, two, one!"
"Good morning! Thank you for your hard work! Brother Kato!" x4
Before he could react...
"Brother Kato is number one in Japan!!!" x4
"…………"
The corners of Kato Yusuke's eyes twitched, and then he stared over with all his strength.
I saw that there was an additional boy with a short haircut next to today's four-person baseball team.
The other party was looking at this place expressionlessly, without saying a word.
"Hey, Ishikawa! What do you want to do among us?" the leader shouted towards the boy.
Upon hearing these words, a string of question marks suddenly appeared in Kato Yusuke's head.
Looking at the boy with hair that was so short that it was almost just a short section, he couldn't connect it with yesterday's Ishikawa.
Although the other person's original hairstyle was not considered long, it was not so short either.
It's like he suddenly changed into a different person.
At the same time, two voices with completely different styles also sounded behind him.
"Ah, good morning Kato-kun."
"Hey, morning, Kato-kun~"
Looking back, I saw Nakano-senpai, whom I had not seen for a long time, standing there gracefully with an elegant and friendly smile on her face, followed by Sami from the Kyudo Club.
After noticing that he was looking over, the latter smiled and waved to him.
"Good morning, Nakano-senpai, Sami."
Kato Yusuke nodded to the two of them, then turned his eyes to the other side.
"And you too, good morning, Kato-san, Yoshiko."
"...Let me tell you, Kato-san." Kako said in a long tone with some dissatisfaction, "I was obviously the one who greeted me first, but you called Xiao Hui's name first, how obvious is your favoritism?"
Hui Ze said calmly: "If you want to say it, aren't you the only one who would think so? Kako."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rush of footsteps, and the four members of the baseball club immediately surrounded him.
"Ready, start!" the leader commanded.
The other people immediately followed and shouted: "Good morning! You are lucky! Sister Kato!"
"Wow! Wha, what?" Jia Zi was so frightened that she jumped back.
The calmness on the girl's face was a bit unbearable.
"Uh~~Well, although I don't want to think so, but..."
Hui asked the boys who were bowing in front of her: "The eldest sister you are talking about...could he be calling me?"
"That's right! Sister Kato!" The four responded in high tones, attracting countless looks.
The girl's face turned very pale, "Ah, um...it turns out that someone can really say such shameful words in public."
So she looked at Yusuke asking for help.
Kato Yusuke frowned and walked up, and said to several people: "Don't do such troublesome things, and it's probably time for you to stop."
"I'm really sorry for causing you any trouble! Brother Kato!"
Yusuke's expression changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
Seeing this, Nakano Ryoko on the side covered her mouth and chuckled: "You are very popular, Kato-kun."
Sami from behind also said with a joking face: "Yeah~ As expected of Kato-kun."
"I'm sorry, Nakano-senpai." The young man's tone was a little complicated: "I didn't expect these things to happen. As for the details, I'll wait until I have the opportunity to explain to senior."
Hearing his words, Nakano Ryoko smiled and nodded, and said: "In that case, you are welcome to the Kyudo Club at any time, Kato-kun."
Then he left here with Sami.
After they left, Ishikawa, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly came forward, "Although I had some feelings before, I still didn't expect you to be so strong... In short, let's go to Koshien this year.
Try Harder."
As he spoke, he stretched out a hand, as if he wanted to shake his hand.
Kato Yusuke fell into deep doubts.
He did not choose to shake hands with the other party. He just shook his head noncommittally, and then said: "I don't know what you have in mind, but I have no such plans for Koshien or anything like that."
Hearing this, Ishikawa immediately froze on the spot and even forgot to take back his outstretched hand.
The question came out of his mouth: "You actually said you have no plans. Aren't people like you planning to join the baseball club??"
Yusuke frowned and asked, "Joining the baseball club, when have I ever said such a thing?"
Perhaps this answer was so unexpected that Ishikawa was speechless for a moment. He just took two steps forward with some excitement, as if trying to grab the boy's collar.
Seeing this, Kato Yusuke's expression turned cold and he directly blocked the opponent's arm.
"What do you want to do?" he asked coldly.
The four members of the baseball club also hurriedly gathered around and looked at the former with wary eyes.
"Want to do something? Ishikawa!"
"We will never let you touch Brother Kato before we fall!"
"Let go of your dirty hands, bald man!"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. At this moment——
"Hey, what do you want to do in school? Stop it!"
Teacher Hirakawa, whom we had met yesterday, quickly walked in from outside the school gate.
"Ah, it's Pingchuan..."
Seeing the teacher, the foursome immediately put away their attacking stance, and Ishikawa also raised his hands and took two steps back.
Regardless of whether they were pretending or not, at least both parties showed a harmonious appearance.
Seeing this, Teacher Hirakawa, who had his arms folded on his chest, snorted coldly and cursed in his mouth.
"What a bunch of careless brats..."
As he spoke, he looked back at Yusuke, his face that was serious just now was now filled with a kind smile.
Even in this situation, Kato Yusuke still couldn't help but look at the other party in surprise.
If he remembered correctly, this was the second time he heard the familiar Chinese quintessence from the other party.
So I couldn't help but ask: "Um, Teacher Pingchuan, have you ever studied Chinese?"
Teacher Hirakawa's expression froze for a moment, then his eyes widened and he said, "Do you understand Chinese???"
In response, Yusuke replied with a subtle expression.
