"Of course not!" Shizuka Hiratsuka took advantage of her inattention to hug Shiina Mahiru and smiled evilly: "You troublemakers in the Service Club should all stay with me."
Although Shiina-san is very considerate, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who is scared by the Service Club, is determined not to let any of them go. She chooses to lock them all up with herself, so she coaxes her over with the excuse of being sick.
After sorting out her logic, Shiina Mahiru rubbed her forehead in distress. She was about to get angry, but when she saw Natsume Rin waving at her enthusiastically, she calmed down.
"Don't do it again, teacher. It is a very bad behavior to take advantage of other people's kindness to achieve your goals." She reluctantly took off her shoes, sat on the kotatsu, and began to instruct the teacher.
"I know, I know. It's because you guys are so troublesome that I have to use this method to deal with it." Shizuka Hiratsuka clasped her hands together in surrender, then put her legs in and became enthusiastic.
I finally got together all the people I'm interested in, so how can I just spend my time sleeping like Yukinoshita-san suggested?
"Let's chat!"
"reject."
"I have no common topics with the teacher."
"Teacher, I need to rest."
Chapter 194 I am his girlfriend
Their unprecedentedly consistent behavior at this time dampened Teacher Hiratsuka's enthusiasm, but she adjusted quickly and soon came over to inquire.
"What did you think when you heard Shiina-san was so eager to help?"
She had been curious about the internal relationships within the Service Department for a long time.
"…Touched?" Natsume Rin paid attention to Shiina's expression.
"Just touched? I almost cried when I saw how anxious she was."
"Hiratsuka-sensei," Shiina Mahiru interrupted her, "Don't add to the drama without my permission. I'm just doing my duty as a classmate."
"Yes, yes, it is responsibility."
Hiratsuka Shizuka's tone was strange, and it was almost as if she had written the words "I don't believe you" on her face, while Natsume Rin rubbed her hands, "You can't possibly go to the point of giving yourself to me, right?"
Shiina Mahiru didn't say anything, Yukino squeezed the juice out of the orange in her hand with an expressionless face, and Hiratsuka Shizuka was about to agree on her behalf.
"But I remember you have a girlfriend, right?"
She suddenly realized that although she didn't know that her best friend was the girlfriend of the good student, she still found out from many details that Natsume Rin had a girlfriend.
"Uh, not sure." Natsume Rin was very honest. Ever since the new January system didn't give Haruno any freebies, he began to doubt whether he had a girlfriend.
The cold war between him and his elder sister continues to this day, and it seems that she is very dissatisfied with his harem declaration.
"You broke up?"
Shiina Mahiru spoke with a probing look in her eyes.
"Yes." Yukinoshita tapped the table, looked at Natsume Rin, and then looked at Shiina Mahiru. When he realized that something was wrong, it was too late.
"But he confessed to me yesterday, and now he's no longer single."
The room was filled with a weird atmosphere. Natsume Rin was stunned, and Hiratsuka Shizuka was not much better than him. The two girls looked at each other calmly and were not affected by it.
"He confessed?" Shiina Mahiru frowned, and while she was disappointed, she was still trying to excuse Natsume Rin.
Perhaps he felt that there was no way he would come back alive, so before he died he did not forget his bad nature and made fun of Yukinoshita-san.
"It was a very affectionate confession. He said that if I didn't agree, he would lose hope of survival." Yukino smiled gently.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense." Sweat broke out on Natsume Rin's forehead.
"Is there a problem? You didn't say that yourself." Xue No sneered, "You said all these words in the cave in the middle of the night, and I agreed. I can't forget these beautiful memories just because I escaped death."
Although what happened is pretty much the same as this, is it really okay for you to mislead Shiina-san like this? Besides, I confessed to you so that everyone could survive!
"The memories...may indeed be quite good, but the specific details are completely different."
"So you're going to admit that you're a scumbag who plays with people's feelings?"
"Didn't I admit that I'm a scumbag a long time ago? But I must explain what happened last night!"
A smile appeared on Yukino's lips, and she leaned over to whisper a few words into Shiina's ear despite his unpleasant expression. Then Natsume Rin lay flat on the floor, completely giving up resistance.
'Do you want to explain the science of fireballs to them?'
"Minister, you are so mean."
Shizuka Hiratsuka was enjoying watching the fun, and when she saw him lying on the ground motionless, she kindly reminded him.
"Natsume-san, silence also counts as time."
You're not defusing a bomb, so what's the point of calculating the time?
Also, as a teacher, can't you educate these two students properly?
Natsume Rin calmed herself down and sat back down, but this time her eyes turned sad and angry as she looked at Yukinoshita.
"minister……"
"Isn't it too unfamiliar to use this term between boyfriend and girlfriend?" Yukino said with a smile.
"You two may be in a relationship." Shiina Mahiru said philosophically, "But it's unlikely that you two are in a relationship."
Crazy, all crazy.
Natsume Rin looked at them fighting in the arena with a sidelong glance, and any remaining thoughts of resistance were gone. Instead of wasting her breath, she might as well wait for them to finish arguing.
"Shiina-san, he has no objection, do you have any other suggestions?"
"Although I don't know the specific circumstances, judging from Natsume's reaction, there must have been some special circumstances that forced him to confess. Xiaoxue should also understand the true meaning, but you also caught his weakness to threaten him."
Natsume Rin shed tears mixed with emotion and grievance.
As expected of you, Archangel, it’s as if you saw the whole process of how this happened!
He was innocent, and he confessed only to save people, and he explained the situation to her afterwards.
But the minister actually used fireball to threaten me. This is totally against the will of heaven and law!
"That's a good guess." Yukino admitted calmly, "But do you think he had real thoughts when he confessed?"
"And we slept together all night."
“This is absolutely fake.”
Facing murderous gazes, Natsume Rin stood up to clarify the reality: "It's just that Yukino's body temperature was too low at the time so we huddled together for warmth. And it was one night, so it was only for more than an hour at most."
"Isn't it normal that I don't remember the time clearly when I fell asleep?" She retorted righteously, making Natsume Rin so angry that she wanted to bite him.
You are so cruel that you confuse an hour with a night.
"I've already said that it's wrong to take advantage of other people's kindness and misinterpret their intentions to do bad things. Xiaoxue, you still haven't remembered it."
The words that were originally used to evaluate teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka did not feel out of place when applied to her at this time. The energetic Yukino also calmed down and stopped dwelling on this topic.
Anyway, she was very sure that the fact that she and Natsume Rin were barely in a romantic relationship now would make Shiina Mahiru so angry that she would feel dizzy.
"Ahem, but everyone is surprised that you two came back safe and sound."
Seeing that the tension had faded, and seeing that it was almost time to set off, Hiratsuka Shizuka did not deliberately provoke a war and asked about the details of last night.
"Natsume saved my life twice, that's all," she concluded briefly.
"The Minister also helped a lot, otherwise I would have been left alone."
Shiina Mahiru narrowed her eyes, sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
They already have such a precious life-and-death friendship, and it seems like it would not be a problem at all if Yukinoshita Yukino, who is obviously eyeing her covetously, could develop further.
What the senior said was right. Xiaoxue was indeed a strong opponent. And because of this experience, she, who had been staying away from the competition, seemed to have to take part in it herself.
Chapter 195: It would be great if it was a nuclear bomb
No matter how vigilant she was, Sobu High School's winter trip with some minor disturbances was declared over. After returning to Tokyo, the first thing Natsume Rin did was to stay at home and have a good sleep.
Lying in the cave for a night would still cause him considerable trauma even with a fire. As for the fireball technique he exchanged for, he lost interest in it after studying it.
Although he was a little surprised that the system could refresh things like superpowers, Natsume Rin felt that the current society was still pretty good.
The main reason is that this is just a fireball spell. It is useful for scaring people, but if you want to make some big news, you will probably be crushed by tanks tomorrow.
If it's a nuclear bomb...
Stopping her wild thoughts, Natsume Rin closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Teacher Hiratsuka was indeed sincere. She did not reveal to the Yukinoshita family the accident that almost happened to the two of them, so life went on smoothly after the hustle and bustle of the winter travel.
The biggest change may be that Yukino is finally no longer resistant to exercise, and Natsume Rin occasionally meets her when she gets up early to run.
On a clear morning, when there were not many people on the road, a faint white smoke was already rising from the shops on both sides.
"Buyer, is this another 400 meters today?" Natsume Rin quickened her pace to catch up with the girl in front.
Even though she was running, she was still wrapped up tightly outside in the winter. The advantage of this was that Natsume Rin didn't need to observe her at all, she could determine her identity just by looking at her clothes.
"Yeah." Yukino responded with a breathless nasal voice. Seeing Natsume Rin's relaxed posture, she couldn't help but speed up her pace. Finally, when she was still some distance away from the target, she slowed down to walking speed and closed her eyes, not wanting to see Natsume Rin's expression.
"Don't run too fast at the beginning. Once you get used to the pattern and rhythm, you can slowly speed up and increase the distance. Your weakest point is endurance, so just hold on for a while longer."
Since she wanted to change her mind, Natsume Rin naturally wouldn't laugh at her, but would enthusiastically guide her through her mistakes.
After running, he went home to pack his things to go to school. Yukino bought a rice ball on the roadside and while eating breakfast, she hesitated whether she should go back.
The distance back and forth made her afraid, but Natsume Rin's voice was still in her ears, so she finally walked back to the apartment with a sigh.
Ever since Natsume Rin came to the classroom, she felt that something was wrong with the class atmosphere today.
The girls were dressed up and gathered together discussing the topic, and the boys had happy faces, as if they were expecting something. However, after Natsume Rin came in, many people still looked at him, and no one told him what had happened.
"What's going on here?"
It was not until Shiina Mahiru walked into the classroom rubbing her eyes and greeted him lazily that Natsume Rin found someone to ask questions.
He just went to find the squad leader and the others, but these good brothers immediately became just nominal brothers, envious and jealous of him, while blaming him for hooking up with little girls.
What nonsense!
"Christmas, maybe? But it's still two weeks away, so it's a bit too early for them to get excited." Shiina Mahiru glanced at the calendar and guessed.
Natsume Rin finally confirmed that the students of the island country's high school suffered from a disease that would cause them to go crazy during holidays.
