Chapter 100
[Mineo]: I feel like I've missed out on an entire world!
Reading Mineo's message, Mai-senpai let out a soft laugh.
That smile was like a thousand flowers blooming at once. Unfortunately, the people around her couldn't see her, so no one could admire how stunning she looked.
Quickly realizing her lapse, she pulled back her smile, took her phone, and replied:
[Mai]: Are you really regretting it now?
[Mai]: Regretting it won't do any good now. Opportunities only come once. Who told Mineo-kun to pass it up?
[Mineo]: Senpai, give me one more chance tonight, please? I promise I'll make the right choice! Look, if I just put in a little effort, maybe our kid could be born in ten months.
[Mai]: Mineo, you'd better just go die!!!!
Mai-senpai shoved her phone back into her pocket, her face flushed with annoyance.
That jerk Mineo—his mouth was getting more and more out of control!
A baby in ten months?! How can you say such outrageous things to me!
Even though she felt angry, Mai didn't notice the faint trace of nervousness and bashfulness hidden deep in her eyes. If Mineo really had gone overboard last night... maybe their child really would have been born in ten months.
No, no! What am I thinking?! How can I even have thoughts like that!
Mai-senpai shook her head vigorously, trying to toss out the messy, strange thoughts cluttering her brain.
Right then, the school bell rang. Mai realized she was about to be late.
Tucking her bag under her arm, she accelerated, her long, elegant legs carrying her quickly into the school and back to her classroom.
Her classmates couldn't see her. The teacher couldn't see her.
Mai-senpai sat in her seat, feeling as though she were in an entirely different dimension from everyone else. However, there was no trace of sadness on her face. She silently took out her textbooks, placed them on the desk, and began to study seriously.
Mineo told her to study well, so she would study well. No matter what happened, since she had chosen to believe in him, she would trust him unconditionally.
She could feel that, from beginning to end, Mineo had never given up on her. Because of that, a firm conviction took root in her own heart. She couldn't just allow herself to disappear.
In the blink of an eye, several hours passed. The school soon entered the lunch break.
Once the last period ended, Mai-senpai took out the Bento Mineo had made for her. She sat at her desk, enjoying her meal alone in silence.
At that same moment, Mineo's figure appeared on the school grounds. He headed straight for the principal's office.
Not long after, the principal of Minegahara Prefectural High School came out to greet him.
"You must be Mr. Takamine Mineo from China! I have heard much about your great name. I am the principal here, Shoji Junichi."
"Mr. Shoji, hello. I am Takamine Mineo. Regarding the purpose of my visit, my secretary, Anne, has already explained everything to you, correct?"
"Miss Anne has told me everything. I am very grateful for the support and assistance you've provided to our school. We will cooperate fully with you to complete the filming for this new project."
"Has the students' lunch break started?"
"It has just begun. Mr. Takamine, would you like to start the shoot immediately?"
"Yes! Let's start now. My team is ready."
"Then I wish you the best of luck, Mr. Takamine. I hope everything goes smoothly!"
"Thank you for your support, Principal Shoji."
Ending the conversation, Mineo pulled a walkie-talkie from his pocket.
"Everything is ready! All departments, get into your positions. Prepare to move in!"
"Copy that!"
"Understood!"
"Loud and clear!"
A series of responses crackled through the radio.
At that exact moment, outside the school, a shocking scene unfolded.
Four helicopters roared to life, their blades spinning rapidly as they lifted into the air. On the streets not far away, a line of luxury cars that had been waiting in place also moved into position. Each car was adorned with colorful flower arrangements fixed into beautiful patterns.
Inside the school, the students were enjoying their usual quiet lunch break. But soon, the thunderous whirring of helicopter blades caught everyone's attention.
Students sitting in their classrooms immediately stuck their heads out of the windows.
"Look! There are four helicopters hovering over the school!"
"My god, why are there helicopters here?!"
"I don't know—is it a military operation?"
"They don't have military markings. They look civilian!"
"What are they doing at our school?!"
Countless students looked up, staring with curiosity at the four aircraft hovering in the sky.
But then, the school gates swung wide open. A fleet of flame-red supercars roared onto the campus, the sound of their engines echoing through the air. Dozens of supercars parked neatly side-by-side on the school field.
Each car was draped with balloons and colorful ribbons. Most striking of all were the heart-shaped rose arrangements mounted on the front of every vehicle.
The average high schoolers had never seen such a staggering sight in their entire lives. Almost everyone stood there with their mouths agape, completely bewildered by what was happening.
Suddenly, several loud pops echoed as fireworks were launched into the sky.
The four helicopters hovering above the school dropped massive banners from their cabins. On those four giant banners, exquisite patterns were painted. And right in the center, a line of large, bold letters stood out clearly for everyone to see:
"Sakurajima Mai-senpai! I like you!"
