For Shikime Natsu, having Horikita Manabu's endorsement would make his future actions incredibly smooth. The fee and everything was just to build a persona for himself—a greedy one. Heh heh, in reality, what he had been scheming for from the very beginning were people!
Of course, Shikime Natsu had no intention of saying any of this out loud. Otherwise, Horikita Manabu, a brother who cared so much for his sister, might just take back his words.
Without Horikita Manabu's endorsement, getting that troublesome beautiful girl to listen to him would be as difficult as climbing to heaven. The nickname "pervert" could only be used when Horikita Suzune was ignoring him; using it too frequently would likely have the opposite effect.
Shikime Natsu planned to head back to his dorm first, then take the book Shiina Hiyori had recommended to the library. Shikime Natsu quite enjoyed the atmosphere of being with Shiina Hiyori.
Especially a literary, angelic beauty who didn't seem like the "pink on the outside, black on the inside" type like Kushida Kikyou. All in all, she was very pleasant to be around.
As for the book, Shikime Natsu had flipped through half of it, and with his photographic memory, he quickly finished reading the whole thing. Of course, his eyes had recorded everything, but his brain still needed a moment to process it. The distance from the dorm to the library was just about right for that.
However... it was getting dark, and he didn't know if Shiina Hiyori was still in the library. He decided not to worry about it and just head over.
In the few days he had been at the school, Shikime Natsu had basically figured out the campus layout. He took out his phone and sent a message to Katsuragi Kouhei, telling him about his deal with Horikita Manabu.
From now on, Student Council matters would be handled by Katsuragi Kouhei. Shikime Natsu would take ninety percent of the profits Katsuragi Kouhei earned in the Student Council. Katsuragi Kouhei had originally wanted to give all the profits to Shikime Natsu, since his entry into the Student Council was entirely thanks to him.
After all, buying a position in the Student Council required one million personal points. With the secretary's salary of seventy thousand a month, over three years, assuming he received it every month, it would only amount to a little over two million.
However, Shikime Natsu felt that Katsuragi Kouhei was also contributing to the class, so he demurred a little. In the end, the two decided on a ninety-ten split, with ninety percent going to Shikime Natsu and ten to Katsuragi Kouhei, who would also report any important matters to Shikime Natsu.
It was safe to say Shikime Natsu had all the good fortune. He had a stable income of points every month without having to work, and he had successfully placed his own person in the Student Council.
"Are you okay? Kei!"
Just as Shikime Natsu's thoughts were drifting, he suddenly heard an urgent and panicked voice from up ahead.
He looked over and saw three beautiful girls, all with a rather unusual air about them. If one had to describe it, it was the vibe of the "gyaru" he had seen before.
The beautiful girl who had just spoken had wavy brown hair and a pair of azure eyes. Paired with her outstanding features, she easily became the center of attention.
Another had light brown wavy hair, a bit shorter than the first girl's. Her style was more refined; her pleated skirt was altered to reveal long, fair legs, and the last button on her blouse was intentionally left undone.
The girl they were gathered around had a high ponytail of bright golden hair and seemed to be injured, likely with a sprained ankle. Her style was even more in line with the gyaru look; her school uniform was open, revealing a light blue inner shirt.
The gyarus these days are really gorgeous.
"Are you okay?"
Shikime Natsu walked up to the three of them and asked with great concern.
Hearing his words, all three girls couldn't help but turn their gazes toward him.
"I think I sprained it."
When the beautiful girl with the high golden ponytail saw Shikime Natsu approach, her small face filled with nervousness, her indigo eyes filled with complex emotions.
Shikime Natsu couldn't decipher this emotion, but... he did have an excellent character model. It must be awe at seeing a handsome guy. He just didn't understand why the beautiful girls at this school were so reserved. After so many days, not a single person had confessed to him yet.
Shikime Natsu wasn't bragging, but before coming to this school, he had to reject several confessions basically every day.
"If you keep walking on it, you might make the injury worse. If you don't mind, how about I carry you to the school infirmary on my back?"
Shikime Natsu glanced at the injured girl. Although he had the God-Tier Massage Technique, using it on someone he just met would probably get him into huge trouble.
Right now, Shikime Natsu was putting on the appearance of a good old-fashioned nice guy. Hmm... there were also security cameras here, so at least he could prove he wasn't the one who bumped into her.
The other two beautiful girls exchanged a look, then both turned their gazes to the blonde girl.
"Kei, what do you think?"
"Then... please."
The blonde girl's eyes flickered for a moment before she made her decision.
"Okay. Could you please hold this book for me?"
Shikime Natsu handed the book to the light brown-haired girl who was closer to him.
"Okay."
Shikime Natsu squatted down in front of the blonde girl. A moment later, he felt two small hands rest on his shoulders, the girl's warmth coming through his uniform. Then, her entire body pressed against his back. He could clearly feel a soft sensation on his back, larger than it looked from the outside. You really can't judge a book by its cover.
Because the girl's pleated skirt had been shortened, he couldn't touch her bottom, so he could only place his hands between her skirt hem and thighs to prevent any accidental exposure.
When his hands made contact with the girl's thighs, Shikime Natsu was met with a surprisingly fine and smooth texture. The initial touch was cool, yet soft and supple, quite pleasant to the touch. The moment he touched her, Shikime Natsu could also feel a slight tremble from the girl—it was her shyness.
When he lifted the girl onto his back, Shikime Natsu didn't find it too strenuous. This was partly because the girl was quite light, and partly because Shikime Natsu's own physical strength was extraordinary.
Through their conversation, Shikime Natsu finally learned the identities of the three. They were all from Class 1-D: Matsushita Chiaki, Satou Maya, and Karuizawa Kei.
Karuizawa Kei was the beautiful girl on Shikime Natsu's back, and she seemed to be the core of their group.
"Thank you. I'm sorry for the trouble."
When Shikime Natsu placed Karuizawa Kei on the bed in the infirmary, she thanked him sincerely.
"Yeah, if it wasn't for Shikime-san's help, Kei's foot injury might have gotten worse."
Satou Maya struck up a conversation with Shikime Natsu very naturally, her blue eyes sparkling. Shikime Natsu was very familiar with that kind of gaze; this person definitely had a crush on him.
"You're welcome. We're all classmates, after all. We should help each other out."
Shikime Natsu smiled. Helping them was worth it.
