COTE: Horikita Is My Childhood Sweetheart

Chapter 32 You are being targeted by the vindictive yellow-haired man

____

The students in Class 2-A stared at Nagumo, who had suddenly flown into a rage, with expressions of astonishment and shock.

Though they didn't know what had provoked Nagumo's outburst, a few students felt secretly delighted. They simply couldn't stand seeing Nagumo act so high and mighty!

While Nagumo had successfully brought the class from B to A, he had also used that achievement as a reason to collect personal points from everyone in the class.

Every month, half of the personal points that the school allocated to the second-year Class A students had to be given to Nagumo

Half of their personal points!

To avoid being targeted by Nagumo and to remain in Class A, the students in Class A of the second year had no choice but to reluctantly hand over half of their personal points to him.

So, seeing Nagumo this angry, instead of feeling concerned, many students felt like celebrating.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Denai listened to Nagumo's angry breathing and timidly said, "I don't know who that guy is, but judging from the style of his school uniform, he should be a new student who just enrolled."

"Heh...heh..."

Still furious, Nagumo sneered, his eyes filled with cold malice as he spat out, "Alright, a high school freshman, huh? Already picking a fight with a senior on your first day and trying to seduce my girlfriend?"

"You're pretty bold"

In truth, Asahina Nazuna and Nagumo were childhood friends.

However, Asahina Nazuna was still single and not Nagumo's girlfriend.

If Nagumo pursued Asahina Nazuna with everything he had, there might have been a chance for him to become her boyfriend.

But unfortunately, Nagumo was a notorious playboy who particularly enjoyed flirting with girls and had made moves on many.

Knowing Nagumo's scummy nature, Asahina Nazuna had no romantic feelings for him whatsoever, let alone any desire to become his girlfriend.

Since leading his class to Class A and nearly dominating the entire second year, Nagumo had become arrogant, with his words and actions becoming increasingly wild and reckless. This only made Asahina Nazuna dislike him even more.

In fact, Asahina Nazuna wished someone would come along and knock Nagumo down a peg—someone who would slap that increasingly arrogant grin off his face and force him to behave.

Although Asahina Nazuna disliked Nagumo and had no romantic interest in him, Nagumo saw things differently.

Due to their childhood connection, Nagumo saw Asahina Nazuna as his possession, his forbidden love, and refused to let any other boy even think about her.

Given Nagumo's cold and possessive nature, any boy who interacted with Asahina Nazuna in any way became a target of his wrath.

When Asahina Nazuna joined the school's swimming club, Nagumo had even used his power as a student council member to introduce a rule that prohibited boys from joining the swimming club.

This showed just how extreme Nagumo's possessiveness was.

Nagumo's chilling words made Denai quickly chime in, "Boss Nagumi, I'll go after that guy right now and teach him a lesson so he knows that his 'sister-in-law' is not someone he can pursue!"

"Good, you go teach that clueless guy a lesson first," Nagumk replied coldly, "and I'll find a way to make sure he drops out of school"

Just because Rin Matsuoka had exchanged Line accounts with Asahina Nazuna, Nagumo wanted to kick him out of school. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk—Nagumo was really something else, wasn't he? The height of arrogance.

[Host, you are being targeted by a vindictive yellow-haired guy.]

"Huh?"

Rin muttered in confusion, "I don't even have a girlfriend, so why would Yellow-Hair be after me?"

"Wait a minute, the 'yellow hair' you mentioned in the narration—is it the yellow hair I'm thinking of? Like, the yellow hair of the Minotaur's girlfriend?"

[No, it's simply because the person targeting you has yellow hair.]

"…I guess my thoughts were impure," Rin chuckled, scratching his cheek.

After confirming that the "yellow-haired" person wasn't the Minotaur, the first person Rin thought of was his classmate, Koenji.

"Wait, no, Koenji's hair isn't yellow; it's golden. Narrator, who exactly is targeting me?"

As expected, the narrator went silent again, refusing to answer Rin's question.

Already used to this, Rin shrugged and continued heading toward the dormitory building for first-year students. As he turned a corner, Denai rushed out, sprinting so fast that he missed Rin entirely, losing his chance to "teach him a lesson."

Well… if Denai had managed to confront Rin, Rin would definitely have begged him not to die.

"Please don't let this guy perish; at least wait until the ambulance arrives!" Rin thought with a smirk.

After all, with Rin's current physical fitness—far above that of normal people—and his advanced free-fighting skills, he could easily take on a hundred adults one after another.

Rin finally arrived at the first-year dormitory building and used his student ID to receive a key and a small notebook from the dormitory manager.

The booklet contained guidelines for the standard use of the dormitory, detailing various precautions for dormitory life.

"My room is on the third floor, room number four. That's fine, as long as it's not room number four on the fourth floor," Rin muttered to himself.

As he approached the elevator, he was surprised to find a girl waiting there as well.

'So girls also live in this dormitory? Is this a mixed dormitory, or are the floors separated by gender?' Rin wondered, glancing at the girl. He quickly recognized her and showed a slight look of surprise. He remembered her from the entrance ceremony.

Rin had noticed her while observing all the girls in his class, and he concluded she was the only beautiful girl among them.

He didn't know her name, but he did know she was a student in Class C.

The girl's name was Shiina Hiyori. She had a sweet and lovely appearance, with a soft, slender body. Her legs were covered in gray over-the-knee socks, with just a hint of snow-white skin showing. With silver hair and purple eyes, she possessed an innocent beauty.

Because of Shiina Hiyori's gentle eyes and delicate features, a soft and calming aura seemed to surround her, bringing peace to those nearby.

Shiina Hiyori turned her head and gazed quietly at the boy standing two meters away from her. She stared at Rin's face, blinked slowly, and then her expression brightened with a hint of joy.

"Matsuoka-san, what kind of books do you like to read?"

"Huh?"

Shiina Hiyori's sudden question left Rin momentarily stunned, and his expression shifted to one of subtle confusion.

Rin asked, "Why do you ask me that?"

The petite Shiina Hiyori tilted her head and made a soft "woo" sound, which was so cute it made one want to scoop her up, give her a hug, and lift her high.
