Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Cheer For Me
This not-too-tall old school building was usually used as an activity space for some clubs, and since it was class time, there weren't many people around.
Tachibana Yui nervously made her way to the third floor.
As soon as she reached the top of the stairs, she spotted the sleazy, pot-bellied figure of Kuwahara in the hallway.
"Yui-chan!"
The moment he saw Tachibana Yui appear, Kuwahara's small eyes behind his glasses immediately lit up, as if he had been waiting for a long time. The fat on his face trembled as he grinned excitedly.
"Kuwahara-sensei, I'm here. Now delete the video!"
Meeting again, this time Tachibana Yui didn't maintain the polite demeanor a student should have toward a teacher. She didn't even greet him, cutting straight to the point.
"I should delete it, but Yui-chan, shouldn't you and Takanashi-kun be more careful? If things keep going like this, you'll eventually get kicked out of the baseball club," Kuwahara spoke with a meaningful expression.
"What happens between me and Takanashi-kun is none of your concern," Tachibana Yui coldly retorted.
"I'm your advisor. It's my responsibility to guide and help you, how could I not be concerned?", Kuwahara said with a tone of earnest advice.
"Heh. The best help you could give is deleting that video," Tachibana Yui's pretty face remained expressionless.
"I was originally planning to do that, but now, I've changed my mind," Kuwahara suddenly said.
Tachibana Yui's expression shifted, "Kuwahara-sensei, what do you mean by that?"
"It's simple. If I could catch you once or twice, there'll be a third and fourth time. Plus, with your attitude today, I think you've gone astray, Yui-chan. You need guidance from me, your advisor, before I can agree to delete the video," Kuwahara's gaze swept over Tachibana Yui's curvaceous figure as he spoke slowly.
"You, how could you do this again?", Tachibana Yui glared at Kuwahara angrily.
"I'm doing this for your own good," Kuwahara put on a righteous facade.
But beneath his glasses, his small eyes gleamed with wicked malice, as if he couldn't wait to tear Tachibana Yui's clothes off and pin her to the ground to ravage her.
Ever since the last time he had schemed to threaten Tachibana Yui, only to be stopped and severely punished by Hikari, Kuwahara had indeed been lying low out of fear.
The pain in his lower body had even left him almost devoid of desire, as if he were living like a monk.
But for some reason, once his body had somewhat recovered, his mind began conjuring up Tachibana Yui's innocent face and her youthful, delicate figure again.
Even though there were plenty of pretty female students at school, Kuwahara felt an inexplicable pull toward Tachibana Yui, making him think of her day and night.
Especially when he remembered how close he had been to tasting the sweet body of this pure high school girl, how she had already yielded to his threats.
If Hikari hadn't suddenly appeared, his plan would have succeeded long ago, and Tachibana Yui would have already become his plaything.
Every time he thought about it, Kuwahara was filled with regret.
And so, after days of barely eating or drinking, his inexplicable craving for Tachibana Yui gradually overpowered the fear Hikari had instilled in him.
Thus, Kuwahara found a way to coax Takanashi into confessing to Tachibana Yui again while secretly recording another video to threaten her once more.
He simply couldn't let go of the delicious piece of meat that had almost been in his grasp, this pure high school girl who haunted his dreams.
Since last time, when the announcement had alerted Hikari, this time Kuwahara quietly summoned Tachibana Yui alone.
Not only did he avoid any announcements, but he also deliberately chose a time during class.
He even used the pretense of an apology to lull her into lowering her guard.
All to ensure that terrifying boy wouldn't show up again.
And just as Kuwahara had expected, under his threat, Tachibana Yui, this somewhat ditzy high school girl, had come anyway.
Looking at Tachibana Yui, who was now glaring at him angrily, Kuwahara sneered.
"Yui-chan, I don't want to waste words. I have one demand: let me give you some 'guidance.' Otherwise, I'll release this video that could get you and your childhood friend Takanashi kicked out of the baseball club."
Kuwahara delivered his threat with absolute confidence.
But to his surprise, Tachibana Yui, who he thought was timid and would surely yield without outside interference, reacted completely differently from her first submission.
"I won't agree to your disgusting demands! You're vile!", Tachibana Yui firmly refused.
She even cursed, "You're a teacher with no morals, a complete disgrace!"
"I'll have you know, Hikari-kun told me last time that if you ever threatened me again, I should tell him, and he'd come teach you a lesson!"
"Go ahead and release the video if you want! I'm telling Hikari-kun right now!"
Truthfully, Tachibana Yui was also panicking under Kuwahara's threat.
She was even trembling with fear, her legs shaking slightly.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have come here to meet Kuwahara.
But when his threatening words reached her ears just now, she suddenly remembered what Hikari had told her after saving her last time.
She also recalled how the arrogant Kuwahara had cowered under Hikari's feet, and how Hikari had handed her a baseball bat, letting her aim a devastating strike at Kuwahara's weak spot while he begged for mercy.
So this time, Tachibana Yui decisively refused Kuwahara's threat and even counter-threatened him by saying she'd tell Hikari.
Hearing her words, Kuwahara's previously confident face instantly turned pale with panic.
The moment he heard that name, his mind flashed back to the scene of Hikari beating him mercilessly with a baseball bat.
His legs trembled uncontrollably, and his lower body even began aching faintly.
At this moment, Tachibana Yui no longer wanted to continue the conversation and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Kuwahara grew even more frantic.
'What do I do… what do I do… I can't let that demon find out about this, I can't let him come here!'
Kuwahara realized that if Tachibana Yui left, she really would expose everything, even risking mutual destruction rather than succumbing to his threats.
At this thought, his face flushed crimson, his eyes turning bloodshot.
He roared, "Tachibana Yui! You're refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit, huh? If you won't take the easy way, then we'll do it the hard way!"
"Once you experience how good my 'bat' is, you'll be completely addicted! I'll make you submit to me!"
Kuwahara was extremely confident in his… skills.
He believed that once he got his hands on an inexperienced girl like Tachibana Yui, who had maybe only fooled around with Takanashi a few times, he could fully 'educate' and conquer her.
So as he spoke, Kuwahara charged toward Tachibana Yui, who was trying to leave down the hallway.
As an advisor, he usually preferred using wit and manipulation to coax female students into submission rather than resorting to brute force like some brawny janitor.
But he hadn't expected Tachibana Yui to outright refuse this time, even countering with Hikari's name. The mere thought of that disaster terrified him.
So now, he had no choice. His lust for Tachibana Yui, combined with his fear of Hikari, drove him to resort to force, to conquer her body and settle this matter.
As Tachibana Yui turned to leave, she heard Kuwahara's shout and looked back, seeing him charging toward her.
Having never faced such a situation before, Tachibana Yui immediately panicked, her delicate face filled with terror.
Instinctively, she quickened her pace, trying to flee down the stairs and escape the third floor.
But the hallway of this school building was quite long.
And Tachibana Yui wasn't exactly a fast runner.
Kuwahara, spurred by the thought of the dire consequences if she got away, was closing in rapidly.
Watching him get closer, Tachibana Yui's heart pounded with panic.
Remembering Hikari's advice from last time, she managed to stay somewhat calm and quickly realized that Kuwahara would catch her before she could reach the stairs.
And if this nearly deranged Kuwahara, who had shed all pretense of being a teacher and now looked like a wild beast, caught her, the horrors that would follow were something she absolutely didn't want to experience.
So when Kuwahara was just five or six steps away, Tachibana Yui suddenly turned and dashed into an empty classroom beside her, slamming the door shut and locking it behind her.
BANG!
Kuwahara, who had thought she was within his grasp, lunged forward but missed as Tachibana Yui veered into the classroom instead of continuing down the hall.
He crashed to the floor.
But with his eyes bloodshot and his mind nearly unhinged, he ignored the pain and scrambled up, rushing to the classroom door where Tachibana Yui was hiding.
He began pounding on it furiously.
"Open the door!"
"Tachibana Yui! You bi*ch, open up!"
"If you open the door, I'll delete the video! Hurry up!"
"If you don't, once I break this door down, I'll turn you into my personal sl*t!"
"OPEN THE DOOR!"
Kuwahara alternated between kicking the door and shouting threats.
Huddled in a corner of the classroom, Tachibana Yui covered her ears in fear at the loud banging.
Terrified, she had already started crying.
But seeing the old classroom door shaking violently under Kuwahara's assault, looking like it could give way any second, she knew she had to stay calm.
Ignoring Kuwahara's threats, she forced herself to steady her trembling hands and pulled out her phone from her pocket.
She quickly scrolled through her contacts.
She needed help.
Faced with Kuwahara's threat, the best solution Tachibana Yui could think of was to call for backup.
Her first instinct was to call Hikari, after all, he had saved her before, making her feel safe.
But remembering that Hikari wasn't actually connected to her (he was just her friend's boyfriend) and that it was class time, she hesitated.
Instead, she quickly dialed another number, her childhood friend, Takanashi's.
After the incident where Hikari had saved her, Takanashi had misunderstood things but had also promised that if anything like this happened again, she could call him instead of relying on an "outsider" like Hikari.
Plus, the baseball club's training grounds were very close to this building.
So this time, Tachibana Yui chose to trust her childhood friend.
Watching the call screen on her phone, she waited anxiously.
Luckily, she didn't have to wait long, the call connected after a few seconds.
"Takanashi-kun, are you free right now? Kuwahara-sensei has trapped me in a third-floor classroom in the club building, he's trying to assault me. Can you come save—"
As soon as the call connected, Tachibana Yui rushed to explain her desperate situation.
But before she could finish, Takanashi, whose background noise was extremely loud, cut her off.
["Yui-chan? What did you say? I'm on the field right now, it's too noisy, I can't hear you!"]
["Sorry, the second half of the selection match practice game is about to start! This training match is really important, it's about my dreams! I'm the main player, I have to go on soon! Whatever it is, tell me later!"]
["Oh, and cheer for me, okay?"]
After rapid-firing this string of words, Takanashi hung up.
Hearing the dial tone, Tachibana Yui froze for a second before frantically calling Takanashi again, sceveral times.
But this time, after waiting, no one picked up. Eventually, she even got a "powered off" message.
Takanashi must have turned off his phone for the training match, as he'd said.
Tachibana Yui's face turned deathly pale, her slender hands trembling as they clutched the phone. Her lips quivered, and she could barely speak.
