else?”
she
asked, not condescendingly, but out of honest curiosity. “I
don’t mean to be rude, but Kevin is my mate, and he’s
finally returning my feelings. There’s nothing on this entire
planet that could ever take him away from me.”
There
was a very brief pause as Lilian tilted her head. “And I don’t
think Kevin wants to take the harem route, so you’re kinda out
of luck there, too.”
    Christine’s
face morphed into an icy shade of blue. This time, it wasn’t
because she felt embarrassed, but because she was angry.
    “Just
because he’s yours now doesn’t mean he’ll stay with
you forever. He’s a fifteen year old boy. They’re prone
to falling in and out of love every other week.”
    Lilian
shook her head. “You don’t understand anything.”
    Christine’s
eyes narrowed. “And what am I supposed to understand?”
    “It
would take way too long to explain, and I don’t feel like
repeating information that was already in the last book.”
    Christine
and Lindsay blinked.
    “What?”
Lindsay
looked nonplussed.
    “The
hell are you talking about?”
a
flabbergasted Christine asked.
    “Let’s
just enjoy watching my mate beat everyone here, okay?”
Lilian
ignored her friends’
questions,
smiling at them before turning back to the track field.
    The
meet was about to begin.
    ***
    Coach
Deretaine marched in front of Kevin and the others, back straight,
chest out and hands clasped behind his back. He reminded Kevin of a
military sergeant about to drill his troops.
    “Okay
brats, listen up! This is the big one. The last track meet of the
year. We’ve done well so far. This year we’ve had more
success than any other year. However! I don’t want any of you
to become complacent just yet. Just because we’ve done well
doesn’t mean we can afford to become lax. I expect all of you
to give twice the effort today that you’ve given for every
other day…”
    Kevin
zoned out as Coach Deretaine continued his spiel. He’d heard
this speech, or others similar enough, so many times that he could
have probably quoted it by heart.
    His
gaze traveled to the bleachers. Even without her banner, spotting
Lilian amongst the crowd was simple. All he had to do was look for
her vibrant red hair. She was sitting with Lindsay and Christine,
which brought a smile to his face. It was nice to know that his
friends had come to support him.
    “Swift!”
    Kevin
focused back on his coach.
    “Yes,
Coach?”
    Coach
Deretaine stared at Kevin, his eyes harder than diamonds. “You
can make googly eyes with your girlfriend later. Right now I need you
to stay focused. I’ll be counting on you out there.”
    Several
giggles broke out amongst the female track members. Kevin blushed.
“R-right.”
    “All
right!”
Coach
Deretaine barked. “Let’s shows these pansies who’s
top dog around here!”
    “OORAH!”
    The
track meet soon started. As per the usual, women’s hurdles was
the first competition. Kevin and his friends sat down on the bench
and observed the girls while they raced. He ignored the comments from
his friends about which girl’s boobs bounced the most and
instead focused on his own thoughts.
    Perhaps
not so surprisingly, most of his thoughts were centered around a
certain fox-girl and what they would do after this track meet. He
didn’t know what the plan was, but Lilian had apparently
prepared something special for him.
    “ Ufufufu,
I would wish you luck, but I know you don’t need it. You should
also know that I have something fun planned for us after your track
meet. Please look forward to it, ufufufu.” As
Lilian giggled in the middle of the hallway, several people who were
standing next to them began slowly backing away.
    Those
had been her words right before the track meet. He assumed she had
made plans for some kind of celebration and had asked Kotohime to
gather ingredients for a feast, which explained why the
maid-slash-bodyguard wasn’t present.
    On
a side note, even though Kevin loved
