"I'm so sad that you said that to me." He covered his chest exaggeratedly, pretending to be heartbroken.
On a quiet night in the neighborhood, only the energetic voices of two young people echoed among the buildings.
"I heard from Natsume-san that you know a classmate who particularly likes cats?" Mahiru asked.
"She doesn't just like cats very much, she is almost like a slave to them, but she has never made up her mind to keep a cat."
"Is it your friend?" Shiina Mahiru caught the key words in distress. It seems that Natsume's campus life does not lack the favor of girls.
She was only able to be close to him at home, but she still felt that she was missing a lot of key opportunities.
"That's the president who didn't want to let me have any peace during the summer vacation. Oh, Shiina-san, about the summer festival."
Natsume Rinno hesitated whether to say no. He was now certain that the fireworks display chosen by Haruno and Shiina should be the first one of the Tokyo Summer Festival.
So he now has two choices, either to learn the art of clone-hood, or to wait for Yang No to dismember him.
"Is there something you need to do?" Mahiru was not surprised, and her light voice spoke the rest of the words for him.
"It's okay. If you have something urgent, just go do it. The summer festival is long anyway, so just hold it in and forget about me."
Natsume breathed a sigh of relief and was about to apologize to her when he saw a scene that made his heart palpitate.
"Anyway, I'm always the one who's asked to give in when things get tough, so I'm used to it. Natsume-san, don't worry about me getting angry."
Although she said it didn't matter, two lines of tears silently flowed down her face. There was not much emotion on her delicate face like a porcelain doll, but she still forced a smile.
"Shiina-san, I'm sorry..."
Chapter 41: Is it a love letter? Let me read it!
"Have you come up with an idea?"
Yukino put down the book in her hand and asked Natsume about the progress of her senior.
She and Eriri have already thought of a plan, they just need a suitable lubricant to ask Kasumigaoka-senpai out, and now it seems that Natsume is the only one.
Despite what she had heard about the famous cold beauty in the academy, she was still somewhat confident about Natsume's handling of girls.
After all, the love letter had been delivered to her activity room.
"what?"
He was awakened from his daze, and the notebook in his hand was still blank. After hearing her repeated words clearly, Natsume frowned.
"Senior Kasumigaoka is really hard to approach. She spends all day in class and sleeps. She doesn't join any clubs. I can't find any reason to approach her."
Even if he wanted to get close to other girls, he had to find an opportunity and a reason. Otherwise, if he rashly went up to say hello, he would be treated as a pervert.
For example, the group of girls who sent him love letters, he had read a few of them before, but after reading them, he only remembered the name and the reason for writing them. The rest of the things did not leave much impression on him even if he had a good memory.
"You stay in the activity classroom all day, so of course you won't get close to me with just your mouth." Yukino rolled her eyes at him, put away the book on the table, revealing a pink envelope underneath.
Natsume pinched his chin and smiled seriously. He actually saw something familiar here.
“It’s a love letter!”
"I don't know, maybe it's a death threat." Yukino also kept a distance from the pink envelope and packed her schoolbag.
Whose death threats are pink? And how bored do you have to be to get death threats in high school?
"Just open it and you'll know." Natsume urged her.
"Are you sure?" Yukino tapped the table, not in a hurry to open the envelope.
"What's there to be sure of? Hurry up." Natsume urged her impatiently, intending to see how big the difference is between boys' love letters and girls'.
"Ok."
Yukino shrugged, a little confused as to how someone could let others see a love letter written to them.
And he looks so anxious.
After opening the envelope and looking at the beautiful handwriting and the cheesy words, Xue Noi smiled beautifully: "Want to hear what's written?"
"Uh, do you mind?" Natsume was indeed curious but also a little reserved.
"It's okay, the owner of the letter has agreed." Yukino said words he couldn't understand and read the moving love letter aloud softly.
"Dear Natsume-san..."
"Stop!"
"The first time I saw you was at the opening ceremony..." Yukino pretended not to hear and continued reading in a calm tone, but the taste of gloating could no longer be concealed.
"Don't read on!"
Natsume Rinno covered her ears, deeply hating herself for meddling in other people's business. And who could have sent a love letter here? Wouldn't it be better to just throw it into the closet according to common sense?
The shame of being executed in public ended only when she read out the name of the writer of the letter. At this time, Yukino looked a little unsatisfied and licked her lips. She felt sorry that the love letter was so short.
"It's third-year Igarashi-senpai, and it was love at first sight. Natsume-san is amazing."
"Hey, you already knew that, right?"
"Of course." Yukino laughed maliciously. Although she didn't have much conscience, she was really cute. "Your name is written on the envelope. Even if I am narcissistic, I will not regard it as a gift for me."
"……minister."
"here I am."
Looking at her happy expression, Natsume had a new realization. Although the Yukinoshita sisters have great differences in personality, the degree of their dark side is just expressed in different ways.
"Would you fall in love with a stranger you've never met?" Natsume said.
"So that's how it is." Smart Yukino immediately realized what he meant and said thoughtfully, "It turns out that you haven't even met the person who wrote the love letter to you."
"What else?" Natsume asked back.
"That senior Igarashi is actually quite pretty, and she also works in the student union. Aren't you interested?" She seemed to have misunderstood what he meant and helped to introduce the conditions of the owner of the love letter.
"Thank you..." Natsume stood up with her and said unhappily.
"You're welcome." Yukino accepted the thanks graciously and gave Natsume instructions: "Write down the basic information of all your classmates in school, otherwise you won't be able to figure out the situation if someone confesses to you in the future."
"Bullmaster." Seeing her lock the door, Natsume asked in confusion, "What on earth have you been through in the past three years? You seem to have turned into a complete weirdo."
He memorized all the information about all the students in the school just for the purpose of understanding the other person when he was confessed to. This kind of train of thought doesn't seem like that of a normal person, does it?
"You are an idiot."
Xue No raised her long hair, her pretty face full of majesty: "Don't call me a weirdo, and what I said does make sense."
"Yes, yes, the Minister is mighty."
She glared at Natsume with dissatisfaction, and walked in front to lead the way out of the club building.
Natsume was originally following her, but as he watched them walk into the teaching building and head towards the third grade, he felt a little confused.
The teaching building was particularly quiet at this time. All the people participating in club activities stayed in the playground or club building, and the students who wanted to go home had already gone back.
"Minister, what do you want?"
"Shouldn't you respond in person after being confessed to? The student council members should still be here by now."
...She is really a weirdo.
Looking at Natsume's conflicted expression, Yukino smiled easily and stopped teasing him.
"How can I be related to the senior if I stay in the activity room all the time? So it's better to ask other people first."
"There's no need to look for someone I just sent a love letter to." Natsume was still very conflicted.
"Do you know any other third-year students?" Xueno rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'll come forward to negotiate when the time comes. You can just use this as an excuse."
He kept persuading her from behind not to be so anxious. Yukino went upstairs without stopping. When she reached the third grade floor, she felt a sense of emptiness.
It seems that everyone has left long ago.
Natsume breathed a sigh of relief when a noise came from the class at the end of the corridor.
"boom."
The tall Kasumigaoka Utaha walked out of the classroom rubbing her eyes. She slept too deeply in the last class and only woke up now. She glanced out the window and hurriedly got up to go home.
There was no sign of anyone else in the corridor except for the two people. Did they oversleep, or did they think that no one would disturb them here so they could have a secret affair?
Kasumigaoka Utaha, who appeared calm on the surface but was actually prone to daydreaming, couldn't help but start beating faster when she walked in front of the couple.
Just as she was about to pass them, she suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence in the corridor: "Natsume-san, good evening."
Chapter 42 You are indeed a succubus
When a noise was heard at the other end of the corridor, Natsume looked over curiously, wondering who might have not left at this time.
When he saw Kasumigaoka Utaha coming out rubbing her eyes, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes urged him not to waste this good opportunity, but Natsume, who had never actively approached women, really didn't know how to start.
It was not until the other party greeted him that Natsume responded instinctively. Then, as he watched the graceful figure of Senior Kasumigaoka leaving, Yukino narrowed her eyes.
"Natsume-san, have you known her before?"
Natsume, who was equally confused, shook his head and said with certainty, "I've only met him once at the opening ceremony, and I even had to rely on Eriri to tell me his name."
"That's it."
Yukino pondered for a moment, then patted Natsume's shoulder and said, "It seems that you may have the physique of a male succubus."
"I really can't think of a reason to keep silent. There's no need to give me this title."
When the sexy figure disappeared from the corridor and appeared in the campus atrium, they also went down.
Even though Natsume was aware of Yukinoshita's evaluation, he would never admit it.
Really, succubus is not a nice word.
"This is a compliment. It was a very troublesome matter, but it was solved so easily. You should be happy." Yukino said.
"That's it? We've only met once."
"Isn't that enough? Are you still planning to ask Kasumigaoka-senpai to be your girlfriend? Since she greeted you, it proves that she noticed you. When you ask Eriri for her account number later, you will have a reason to ask her out."
Yukino explained the subsequent plan skillfully. Anyway, the most crucial step was how to get Kasumigaoka to come out.
