Sasahara Souhei breaks hearts on V-Day
20x1, 15th February

Orcas players Sasahara Souhei and Takagi Yoshi recently guest starred on the talk show Goto Sisters, and the hosts were obviously delighted at being in the presence of the two, who are currently among the most popular sports personalities in recent time. Since the day of the broadcast would fall on Valentine's Day itself, the Goto sisters took the opportunity to probe them with some "rabu-rabu" themed questions.

When asked about their plans on that sacred day, the filial (and very single) Takagi gave a nil answer, and spared a joke about spending another Valentine's Day with his parents. Sasahara, though, sparked interest when he let slip that he was planning to confess to a high school classmate. Not surprisingly, the hosts (and audience) gushed over the reveal and, unsurprisingly, attempted to interrogate the embarrassed young man, though the latter charmingly evaded them with his wits. It was pretty endearing though to see the usually cool-headed shortstop blush and stutter like a teenager.

Now that Valentine's Day's over, did the mystery girl accept Sasahara's feelings? There's no doubt about this though: Sasahara has gained himself more female fans. And broken several more.

Real time

"SASAYAAAAAAAAAAAN!"

"Yes, Natsume?"

"WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?"

"It doesn't matter anymore, does it? You're my girlfriend now."

"But—"

"Besides, now everyone will know I belong to someone else."

"…"

"Natsume?"

"You're mine now, Sasayan."

A/N: I can totally imagine Natsume saying those last words with a smirk.
