Lunch time...
I jogged along the school's corridor as I tried to find Lovino. I found him being trained (apparently) by another boy. I took a picture of him and sent it to Flavio.
Flavio: That's Feliciano Vargas, Lovino's little brother and your first player.
Flavio: "Reputation: Normal, Personality: Cheerful, Crush: Ludwig Beilschmidt, Club: Newspaper, Self-defense: Fights back, Birth country: Italy"
Flavio: I recommend that you do not mess with him.
Luciano: Why? You said his cheerful.
Flavio: He has a hidden sword in his pocket and is a master at fencing.
Luciano: I don't see his crush. Where is he?
Flavio: He will be absent for a few weeks.
I didn't reply and saw Antonio spying on Lovino. I saw a blush form on his cheeks, indicating his love. I went near him and tapped his shoulder. "Um, scusi." I said. I grabbed my phone and showed him a picture of Lovino. "Do you have a crush on this student?" I asked. "Oh, you can tell? Si! I do!" He answered. "Can you help me? I want to win him." Antonio requested. I nodded. "Si." I accepted. I texted Flavio for Lovino's interest.
Flavio: I hope this helps. Lovino seems to love tomatoes and Spanish students.
Luciano: That should be enough.
I reviewed it and looked at Antonio. "Give him a tomato. He loves those." I advised.
"Where do I get them?" He asked. "I'll handle it." I answered. "Follow my lead." I said. I went back to the spot where Lovino was and tapped his shoulder. "What do you want, bastardo?" He asked. "Someone wants to meet you at the East Fountain. He has something you love." I said. I saw a blush creep up on his cheeks. "R-Really? I better go there, then." He said then ran off. I texted Flavio for the wireless headphones and microphone and the tomato.
Flavio: They're right behind you already but you have to pay me.
Luciano: Idiota...
I looked behind and picked up the apparatus and tomato. I went back to Antonio and gave him the headphones. "Take this and wear it. I will handle everything else." I said. He took them from my hands. "Give him this tomato. It will satisy him." The tomato was taken from my hands. "Now go to the East Fountain. Lovino will be there." I finally said. "On it." Antonio replied and ran to the fountain. I followed him until I was a block away from the fountain.
I slowly crept up behind the tree and began to spy on the two. I grabbed the microphone and wore it. Antonio grabbed the headphones and inserted them in his ears. Lovino turned around and faced Antonio. "You wanted to see me?" I heard him asked. I began to speak in the microphone. "Give him the tomato." He grabbed the tomato from his pocket and showed it to Lovino. "I heard that you love them so I got you one." I heard Antonio say. Lovino blushed and he took it. "H-How did you know?" He asked, his face turning red a little bit. "Ah, I've just heard it."
I remembered that Flavio told me to say romantic stuff in it. I said something and Antonio began to repeat it. "That curl on the left side of your hair fits you." He said. The blush on Lovino's face grew. I said another romantic item and he repeated it. "I've always liked the way you speak. It's cute." My rival's blush became seriously red. "I...I..." He began. "Say "I love you" in Spanish." I said. "Te amo." Antonio said. "T-Ti amo tanto." He replied.
I felt happy inside. My phone buzzed and I took it out to see a text message from Flavio.
Flavio: Good job, fratello. You owe me something.
Luciano: What is it?
Flavio: I will tell you later. All I have to tell you is that nine more students still have a crush on your anziano.
Luciano: Ugh, not them!
Flavio: Exactly.
Flavio: Meet me at the front of the Info Club. You still have to pay me.
Luciano: Fine.
Luciano watches Antonio and Lovino hold hands as they leave the East Fountain. He has successfully eliminated his first rival. There are nine more to go and Luciano will not back out. He will get rid of them.
Lutz is safe...
...for now.
