In the blink of an eye, it was after school.
"Leave that to me."
Kamuro Masumi spoke without lifting her head, focusing only on packing her things.
"Yeah, I'm counting on you, Masumi."
Shikime Natsu nodded, his gaze falling on the silver-haired girl in her seat. She wasn't doing anything now, but it was hard to say what would happen later.
....Our eyes met. How troublesome.
It would have been fine if it had triggered a CG, but this kind of eye contact without a CG didn't make Shikime Natsu happy.
I hope Kamuro Masumi can really keep an eye on Sakayanagi Arisu.
A troublesome woman.
Shikime Natsu got up and headed for Keyaki Mall alone. Although he was now the leader of Class A, not everyone would flock to him, especially since this was truly just the first day of school.
Even if they did, it would probably just lead to awkward small talk most of the time.
At the very least, Shikime Natsu didn't want that to happen, because what he had to do next was quite important. Hmm... to meet with another beautiful girl who had a CG.
He wondered if she would bring along other pretty girls from Class B. It would be even more wonderful if they could all trigger CGs.
It was after school, but compared to yesterday, there were fewer students in Keyaki Mall at this time. Most had probably gone to the club activity information session.
Thinking about it, he felt a little bad for Ichinose Honami and the others. They probably wanted to attend the session too.
But, compared to something like club activities, making a deal with him should be more important, right?
This concerned the future of their class.
Shikime Natsu booked a karaoke room and immediately notified Ichinose Honami.
About ten minutes later, Ichinose Honami arrived, accompanied by three other girls and one boy.
Hmm... one of the girls wasn't in a school uniform, but she looked quite young. Was this the homeroom teacher for Class B? She looked a lot younger than Mashima Tomoya.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Shikime-kun."
Ichinose Honami walked over and spoke with a slightly apologetic look on her face.
"No, I was the one who invited you. In fact, it's my fault for making you miss the club activity session."
Shikime Natsu waved his hand, gesturing for them to sit down.
The boy had short, dark hair and a rather serious expression. His movements were small, and his body language was not very expressive.
"Hello everyone, I'm Shikime Natsu from Class 1-A."
Shikime Natsu smiled at them.
"You really are a handsome boy. You sought out our little Honami-chan, could it be that you have a crush on her?"
The woman who seemed to be the homeroom teacher for Class 1-B teased him.
"Hoshinomiya-sensei, please don't say that. I'm sorry, Shikime-kun."
Hearing Hoshinomiya Chie's words, Ichinose Honami felt a headache coming on. Her teacher was great, but sometimes she was really a bit unreliable.
"Eh, what's the big deal~"
"That's enough, Hoshinomiya-sensei, please be serious."
The boy beside her spoke up, then turned his gaze to Shikime Natsu.
"Hello, I am Kanzaki Ryuuji from Class 1-B."
Shikime Natsu nodded, his gaze then falling on the last girl.
This girl was quite petite and cute, with a large purple ponytail, its end cut very neatly, and a white ribbon in her hair. She exuded a very gentle aura. Although she wasn't on Ichinose Honami's level, you could tell at a glance that she was a very easy person to get along with.
"Um... is there something on my face?"
Ever since this girl came in, her eyes had been fixed on him. Could she be another problem child?
Shikime Natsu had to admit that the quality of the beautiful girls in this school was truly high, but he also had to say that there were quite a few problem girls as well.
Even this Class B homeroom teacher seemed a bit unreliable.
"Um... Mako-chan?"
Ichinose Honami clearly didn't know what was going on with her friend and spoke up quickly. After all, staring at someone like that was quite rude.
"Sorry, but... I'd like to ask you something, Shikime-kun. Is that okay?"
The girl looked at Shikime Natsu, her eyes very serious, her tone gentle.
"Yes, it's fine."
Shikime Natsu nodded. If the karaoke room time ran out, he could just extend it.
Ichinose Honami and the others just watched quietly, the scene before them taking them by surprise.
Initially, they had decided to have Ichinose Honami and Kanzaki Ryuuji come with Hoshinomiya Chie, but after hearing the name Shikime Natsu, Amikura Mako had volunteered to come along.
Could it be... there was something between them?
But looking at Shikime Natsu, it was clear he didn't recognize Amikura Mako.
"Excuse me, Shikime-kun, have you ever lived in the XX district?"
Amikura Mako's voice was slightly excited. Although it was a question, her eyes were filled with certainty.
"Yes, that's right."
Shikime Natsu nodded. He was quite clear about where he had lived, but... he didn't quite remember ever meeting Amikura Mako.
At least, he definitely didn't know her name.
"Then do you remember helping a girl who fainted from low blood sugar?"
Amikura Mako placed her hands on the table, closing the distance between herself and Shikime Natsu.
"Sorry... I don't really remember."
Shikime Natsu shook his head slightly. After all, that period of his life wasn't very important to him. He had been focused on finding a way to unlock his CGs and hadn't paid much attention to the outside world.
Of course, it was also related to the fact that Shikime Natsu had helped quite a few people. Especially since there were many delinquents where he used to live, and he had taught them all a good lesson, which counted as helping many people. As for helping someone with low blood sugar... Shikime Natsu had done that many times. He didn't know if the feng shui of his old place was bad, but people often fainted from low blood sugar near his house.
"Is that so...."
Hearing Shikime Natsu's answer, a hint of disappointment appeared in Amikura Mako's eyes.
"Hey, hey, Shiki-chan, I have to give you a piece of advice. In a situation like this, you're supposed to just agree."
Hoshinomiya Chie was quite dissatisfied with Shikime Natsu's answer.
"What if it was a case of mistaken identity? I can't admit to something I haven't done, can I?"
Shikime Natsu seemed completely unfazed by this.
"No, even if you don't remember, I remember it clearly. Your name is Shikime Natsu."
"If it's alright, let's reintroduce ourselves. My name is Amikura Mako."
"Thank you for your help back then!"
The girl revealed a happy expression, her delicate face filled with joy.
[Ding~]
[CG10: Reunion (Amikura Mako)]
[I'm so glad I got to see you again]
[Congratulations, Host. You've obtained the Skill Card: Perfect Tennis Technique (Now you might be able to take on aliens)]
Wait, so I really did meet her?
Shikime Natsu looked at the CG before him. It was clear he had indeed met her before, and this was a reunion. Damn it, how could I forget such a cute girl?
Unless... she changed her appearance?
