"Could it be that if I cheer for you loudly, you'll think I like you guys too?"
In response to her passionate defense, Phoenix Academy Maggie cracked a smile and said with a wink, "The problem is, you've never shouted for us like that.
That cheer just now was full of genuine emotion and excitement.
Makoto, just admit it.
It's now the summer vacation of senior year.
After graduation, you and he will go to different schools.
It's possible that, over time, you'll gradually lose contact.
Many childhood sweethearts end up like this, unable to stay in touch for various reasons, and eventually becoming indifferent like strangers."
Nomura Makoto fell silent, looking at Phoenix Academy Maggie standing in front of her. She wanted to retort, saying you have no right to criticize me.
But she indeed had to face this problem of going to different universities with Furusawa Kyoichiro!
From kindergarten, elementary school, junior high to high school, they always attended the same school, and she never thought that one day they'd go to different schools.
Or perhaps she had thought about it before.
But she believed there was still a long time left, no need to rush into considering it.
Year after year, it dragged on.
When eventually separated, Furusawa Kyoichiro would live on campus in college.
Even if their homes were close, their chances to meet would be rare.
Even fewer would be days having a reason to meet.
Nomura Makoto sighed deeply and said, "So what can I do?
Kyoichiro only likes small things, and I can't revert to looking like an elementary school student."
"You don't need to be anxious.
Just because someone likes luxury cars doesn't mean they can drive one, or even afford one."
Yoshikawa Sayuri comforted Nomura Makoto in her own way, encouraging her not to lose hope, "In summary, there's a high probability that Furusawa will accept you."
Phoenix Academy Maggie placed a hand on Nomura Makoto's shoulder, full of confidence, "Don't worry, leave everything about you and Furusawa to me.
I'll make sure everything goes smoothly."
"Your words make me uneasy."
Nomura Makoto joked, leaning her head back, feeling a touch softer than any pillow.
Phoenix Academy Maggie massaged her temples, acting as a masseuse, "Don't be nervous, trust my expertise."
"And me."
Yoshikawa Sayuri added.
Nomura Makoto closed her eyes and decided that while Phoenix Academy Maggie was matchmaking, she would also help Maggie take that step forward.
After a long period of observation, Nomura Makoto thought helping Phoenix Academy Maggie and Aozawa was a good thing.
Although that person balanced multiple relationships.
However, in terms of emotional value, no one was isolated.
Nomura Makoto couldn't understand how Aozawa managed his time?
But since he could accomplish such things, why not give Aozawa a chance.
She saw that Maggie could hardly escape Aozawa, always deeply in love.
"We must create an opportunity."
Nomura Makoto muttered.
Phoenix Academy Maggie thought she was worried about the matter with Furusawa Kyoichiro and reassured her with a laugh, "Don't worry, it's okay, I've got a brilliant plan.
It's too purposeful to invite him alone, so we must ask Aozawa, Tetsuji, and the others to join to lighten the atmosphere.
I've already thought of the reason, which is we'll host a celebration for them."
Nomura Makoto listened to Phoenix Academy Maggie's words and smiled to herself.
She was wondering how to involve Aozawa, but to her surprise, the young lady proposed this plan herself.
Sparing her the trouble of persuasive efforts.
Nomura Makoto nodded and said, "That's right, for the first celebration, the baseball team will definitely invite Kyoichiro and his team.
We'll host a private celebration to celebrate their Koshien championship, on what day should we choose?"
"Hmm, let me think."
Phoenix Academy Maggie appeared deep in thought.
The date couldn't be set casually; she needed to check her schedule, choose a free time, and then ask when Aozawa would be available.
During the summer vacation, Phoenix Academy Maggie had met Aozawa less than three times.
The rest of the time, she was busy with work.
Replacing her mother to attend meetings abroad, flying all over the world, seeking sponsorship and negotiating business deals, trying to lighten the atmosphere of despair at home, avoiding the continuous increase of negativity in subspace.
For Aozawa's matches, Phoenix Academy Maggie tried to squeeze in time to attend.
Sometimes, she was too busy, and had no choice.
Just like during the national competition, Phoenix Academy Maggie was in Saudi, negotiating projects with the princes.
This time, she managed to find some free time.
"I'll ask Aozawa later when he's available?"
"Let me ask, can't always bother you for everything."
Nomura Makoto volunteered to take on this task, wanting to talk to Aozawa and secretly sell out Maggie.
Phoenix Academy Maggie wasn't aware of her thoughts and nodded, "Alright, I'll leave it to you, I'm free on August 20th."
"Okay."
Nomura Makoto nodded in agreement.
...
After the awards ceremony, the group took a photo worthy of framing on a wall.
From the coach to the team members, they naturally would use the funds provided by the school to have a big meal, celebrating this Koshien championship.
The boys' lively atmosphere didn't allow for the intrusion of the opposite sex.
Ayatsuki Iroha and the others didn't choose to congratulate Aozawa in person but instead sent their congratulations via LINE.
Arakawa Reina's message was rather outrageous.
She directly placed her phone under her short skirt and purposely took a photo.
It even seemed to add some noticeable effects.
Similar to those scenes in comics where a girl is too hot, causing them to emit heat.
It split her thighs and purple outfit, forming an image with a strong visual impact.
Especially the sweat on her legs.
Making the viewer instantly thirsty, craving to take several gulps, then dive in to deeply inhale the ocean's fresh scent.
"Congratulations to Mr. Aozawa for winning the Koshien championship. I felt a rush of excitement, but I wonder if Mr. Aozawa is really that incredible.
Always able to hit home runs~"
Beneath the photo were colorful words, varying in size.
A tongue-out emoticon accompanied it at the bottom, expressing her current state.
Great!
Aozawa decided that once the celebration ended, he'd show Arakawa Reina whether he could always hit home runs.
"Wait at the hotel!"
Aozawa sent this message, then quickly switched the chat to Iroha's conversation window.
What puzzled him was that Maggie hadn't sent a message.
She was clearly sitting there in the VIP section, watching.
You'd think she'd send a congratulatory message or something, but nothing at all.
That's very unlike her.
Aozawa wondered silently, and then his phone suddenly dinged.
He looked down to find a message from Nomura Makoto.
"Aozawa, when are you free?
Maggie and I want to organize a small celebration banquet for you.
There are two purposes.
One is that Maggie wants to matchmake between me and Furusawa Kyoichiro.
Secondly, to finalize things between you and Maggie, Maggie doesn't know about this part, and once successful, please don't betray me, the great contributor."
Nomura Makoto was upfront, revealing the full purpose of this celebration banquet.
She believed Aozawa also had been longing to win over the young lady for a long time.
Aozawa quickly replied, "Not today, but I'm free any other time."
To outsiders, it seemed like he had many girlfriends, possibly spending the summer busy with constant dates or in bed.
In reality, his summer was relatively free.
Everyone had their own things to do.
He also needed to lead the Kendo club to the national championship victory, followed by the Jade Dragon Flag, and the Koshien matches.
The frequency of that sort of thing wasn't even as much as during school days.
"Alright, then let's set it for August 20th."
Nomura Makoto took the initiative to set the date and then turned to give Phoenix Academy Maggie a thumbs up, saying, "Date's set for August 20th.
There are three days left, now it's up to you guys to perform."
"No problem."
Phoenix Academy Maggie patted her chest.
Her romantic life wasn't proactive.
However, when it came to matchmaking for her best friend, Phoenix Academy Maggie was full of spirit, ensuring to pair the two together.
Just like last year with Kitagawa Tetsuji and Yoshikawa Sayuri, whom she helped matchmake during the summer.
Thinking back, Phoenix Academy Maggie felt a great sense of achievement.
