The participants in the Class D exchange student special activity were Shikime Natsu from Class 1-A, Shibata Sou from Class 1-B, and Kaneda Satoru from Class 1-C.
Unexpectedly for Yamauchi Haruki and Ike Kanji, those coming to Class D were all boys.
Moreover... both of their gazes landed on Shikime Natsu. This guy didn't come chasing after them to collect debts, did he?
It had to be known that they didn't have a single point on them. They had even been informed that once points were deposited into their phones, they would be transferred away immediately; their accounts were completely empty.
The two of them held some fear towards Shikime Natsu. This guy simply wasn't human. Otherwise, how could someone clear out a claw machine with a single coin?
For a normal person, catching one in ten tries was already quite good.
"For the next week, these three students will be joining Class D for their studies. Please get along well with them."
Chabashira Sae's gaze landed quite unexpectedly on Shikime Natsu. Why would the leader of Class A choose Class D?
Could it be Hoshinomiya Chie?
There was no helping it; Chabashira Sae couldn't help but think this way. After all, Hoshinomiya Chie had a precedent.
Only... if she committed another offense, Hoshinomiya Chie would extremely likely have to leave this school. Regarding her partner from her student days, Chabashira Sae's mood was quite complex.
Unlike the thoughts of Yamauchi Haruki and the others, the gal trio couldn't help but reveal smiles upon seeing him. He was an acquaintance; not bad. Wang Mei-Yu also revealed a happy smile.
Kushida Kikyou had a welcoming expression on her face as well, only... the thoughts within her heart were unknown.
"There are currently three empty seats. Choose for yourselves."
Chabashira Sae spoke, then picked up a piece of chalk and turned around. The simple introduction segment wouldn't take up too much class time.
Shikime Natsu casually picked an empty seat to sit in. The person sitting next to him was Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. The back row by the window—the Seat of Kings.
He was also an acquaintance. Of course, Shikime Natsu didn't think of greeting him; if he engaged in any communication, the points deducted would be from Class A.
Shikime Natsu's gaze sized up the students of this class slightly. It had to be said, only after seeing it with his own eyes did Shikime Natsu realize just how chaotic this class was.
Chatting during class, scrolling through phones, reading manga...
In just the time of the first period, Shikime Natsu felt he had gained a lot.
Could these guys' Class Points really sustain such wastefulness?
Would they turn into zero eggs next month?
Shikime Natsu wasn't worried about widening the gap; he was worried about whether Yamauchi Haruki and Ike Kanji could pay back his money.
Those two currently owed him quite a few points.
"Yo, what a coincidence."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka greeted Shikime Natsu in a decent manner.
"Mn."
It was break time now, so Shikime Natsu didn't mind chatting with Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
"Did your class's Horikita participate in the exchange student activity?"
Shikime Natsu's gaze fell upon Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
"Mn, she went to Class A."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka nodded slightly.
"If you came specifically to find Horikita, then it's very unfortunate. The seat you are sitting in right now is her seat."
"No, I didn't mean to come specifically to find her. I'm just participating in the school activity and grabbing ten thousand points in passing."
Shikime Natsu smiled. As expected of Horikita Suzune. On the day of the opening ceremony, Horikita Suzune had learned a rough conjecture from his mouth—that the school might divide classes based on the students' merits. Coupled with Horikita Manabu's high evaluation of him, she probably wanted to go see the differences in Class A, right?
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Hearing Shikime Natsu say this, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka just responded indifferently. For ten thousand points, it was normal.
"Have you found the target you intend to challenge?"
"Not yet. In the end, the school hasn't stated what we can challenge."
Shikime Natsu spoke quite casually.
At this moment, Kushida Kikyou and the others also gathered around.
"I didn't expect you to really come to Class D, Natsu. Being able to become classmates with Natsu is truly a quite rare experience."
Kushida Kikyou clasped her two small hands together in front of her, speaking with a quite cute smile.
"Mn, mn."
Wang Mei-Yu nodded from the side.
"Um... Shikime-san, this is a thank-you gift."
Karuizawa Kei clearly hadn't expected Shikime Natsu to actually know so many people in Class D, even knowing such an inconspicuous guy like Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
However... hearing Kushida Kikyou's form of address for Shikime Natsu, she became slightly unsettled. Are Kushida Kikyou and Shikime Natsu dating?
No, that doesn't seem right no matter how I think about it, right?
It should be that Kushida Kikyou's popularity is very good, which is why she has such a good relationship with Shikime Natsu, right?
When Karuizawa Kei gave a bag of small cookies to Shikime Natsu in public, the entire class was shocked once again.
No way, he even knows the gal trio?
And it looks like their relationship is not bad?
"It was just a small matter, no need to mind it. But I'll accept these cookies, thank you."
Shikime Natsu smiled. With his excellent character model, appropriate smile, and gentle-as-water voice, the attention of quite a few girls in Class D was completely focused on Shikime Natsu.
After all, being a transfer student already carried a bit of attraction.
Especially since Shikime Natsu was not a stranger to anyone in Class D. No, it should be said that he was quite famous throughout the entire school. The Claw Machine Destroyer! This was Shikime Natsu's new title.
Also, Yamauchi Haruki and Ike Kanji were quite famous too. Of course, they belonged to the type where one would feel embarrassed just being in the same class as them.
"Mn!"
Seeing that Shikime Natsu was willing to accept her thank-you gift, Karuizawa Kei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Kushida Kikyou clearly hadn't expected that Shikime Natsu had secretly hooked up with Karuizawa Kei's gal trio. Just when did this happen...
A group of girls chattered around Shikime Natsu's desk, quite lively, while the fronts of the other two transfer students appeared somewhat deserted.
Why was the gap between people so big?
"Tch~ What's there to show off about."
Yamauchi Haruki's voice was undeniably loud, filled with sourness. Clearly, he was the one from Class D, yet this group of girls actually went to surround an outsider. They simply had holes in their brains!
Listening to Yamauchi Haruki's words, Shikime Natsu suddenly discovered: is this guy the type who doesn't learn his lesson?
Otherwise, why would he provoke him time and time again?
"Hey, let's chat, Inogashira-san."
Yamauchi Haruki smiled and spoke to Inogashira Kokoro who was passing by.
Inogashira Kokoro didn't even turn her head, leaving directly and even speeding up her pace, as if Yamauchi Haruki were some kind of god of plague.
Being disdained like this, Yamauchi Haruki didn't show any dejected appearance either. He just switched targets, but he was ignored by all of them.
"Don't you think you guys are being excessive? Being so enthusiastic towards an outsider, yet giving the cold shoulder to me, a true classmate!"
Yamauchi Haruki stood up, looked around, and vented his dissatisfaction with a quite loud voice.
Still, no one paid him any attention.
This made Yamauchi Haruki, who cared quite a lot about face, unable to sit still. However, at this moment, the class bell rang.
Everyone returned to their seats one after another, and only then did the area in front of Shikime Natsu quiet down. It had to be said, the scent of girls was still quite nice. In just the short time they stood in front of Shikime Natsu, mingled with several different fragrances, it wasn't pungent, nor did it undergo any terrifying chemical changes to become a stench; it was still fragrant.
Shikime Natsu had originally thought he would have to observe here for a week to reach a valid conclusion. He hadn't expected that he would know after spending just one class period: Class D was even more outrageous than he had imagined.
However... there were also guys who studied seriously in Class D, such as the one wearing glasses, and Kushida Kikyou; they all looked like good students.
As for Ayanokouji Kiyotaka sitting next to him, this guy also kept his attention on the blackboard, but in the eyes of others, those eyes seemed to be dazed.
Soon, the morning classes ended, and the beautiful girls gathered around once again.
"Shikime-san, want to eat together?"
It had to be said, the girls of Class D were quite proactive. People like Kamuro Masumi and Yamamura Miki only went to eat when he invited them.
After coming to Class D, the members of Kushida Kikyou's and Karuizawa Kei's groups gathered around one after another. Besides Wang Mei-Yu, there were also Mori Nene and Inogashira Kokoro by Kushida Kikyou's side.
"Damn it!"
Yamauchi Haruki kicked the table viciously, then walked out of the classroom. He still didn't understand why the treatment of the two of them differed so much.
Clearly, he was the one from Class D, but these cute girls in the class seemed unwilling to interact with him too much. What did he do wrong?
Just because he evaluated the size of the girls' breasts in class? Just such a small matter? It's something any guy would do, okay?
Ike Kanji and Sudou Ken followed him out.
Shikime Natsu remembered that Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was still with Yamauchi Haruki and the others at Keyaki Mall yesterday, but he didn't follow them out at this time. Was he planning to draw a clear line?
Of course, in Shikime Natsu's experience of interacting with them, although Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was a poker-face, getting along with him was still much more pleasant than getting along with Yamauchi Haruki.
With so many cute girls inviting him to lunch, Shikime Natsu naturally agreed. However, due to the large number of people, they could only find a relatively spacious place.
"Eh? Did Natsu prepare the bento yourself?"
Kushida Kikyou noticed Shikime Natsu holding a blue bento box and couldn't help but be curious.
This guy knows how to make bentos?
It should have been prepared for Shikime Natsu by other girls, right?
For example, Kamuro Masumi?
A figure appeared in Kushida Kikyou's mind. But... if she prepared a bento for him, had their relationship already reached this stage?
"Shikime-san can also make bentos? So cool!"
Satou Maya cast her gaze over with considerable interest after hearing this. Boys who could make bentos earned extra points.
"I just prepared a little something."
Shikime Natsu admitted it, and soon received exclamations of admiration from the group of girls.
Soon, the eight of them arrived at the cafeteria and found a seat. The few from Class D went to the ordering counter to order their meals.
"Wow, Shikime-san, your bento looks delicious!"
Satou Maya's eyes couldn't help but light up. The cuisine in Shikime Natsu's bento emitted a rich fragrance.
The other seven girls also smelled this pleasant scent. Especially upon seeing the food inside Shikime Natsu's bento box—it looked like it was glowing. It looked delicious at first glance!
"Is that so? Then do you want to taste it?"
Shikime Natsu smiled. He hadn't drugged the food today; he had chosen to add 'fluorescent powder' instead. Drugging people was something that could only be done in his own room, otherwise... it would really be social death.
"Is it really okay?"
Satou Maya's small face was full of excitement.
"Of course. Please."
Shikime Natsu made a welcoming gesture.
"So delicious!"
Satou Maya felt the collision occurring inside her mouth. That delicious cuisine grabbed her tongue and kneaded it repeatedly, seeming to want to coat the tongue with all the essence of the deliciousness.
[Ding~]
[CG 30: Delicious Cuisine, Satisfaction (Satou Maya)]
[Handsome, can cook, and is gentle too—too perfect!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Item Card: Barometer (Write down the weather you want on the date, and the weather you want will appear on that day. Coverage range: a circular area with you as the diameter of three hundred kilometers. One sheet can be used five times. Total of five sheets. Replenished once every week.)]
Another CG. Weathering With You? He could be considered to have the ability to call the wind and summon the rain now. Supernatural abilities!
Shikime Natsu looked at this reward; it could be considered not bad.
"If everyone wants to try it, you can all give it a try~"
Shikime Natsu quite generously placed his bento box in front of everyone.
"Delicious!"
"Too tasty!"
"This is the best food I've ever eaten!"
"How did you do this?"
Kushida Kikyou couldn't help but cover her small mouth lightly, looking at Shikime Natsu with total disbelief. This guy could actually cook so well.
"Sorry, it seems we accidentally ate all of Natsu's food. I have some food here that Natsu might want to eat; Natsu can take it all. Though it's not as delicious as Natsu's bento."
Including Shikime Natsu, there were eight people here. Even if it was just one bite per person, Shikime Natsu's bento box emptied considerably. As a little angel, Kushida Kikyou naturally noticed this and spoke up in time.
"Me too."
"Me too."
"Then I won't be polite."
Shikime Natsu accepted everything. One meal had garnered quite a lot of favorability.
Sure enough, if you want to capture a woman's heart, the first thing to do is capture a woman's stomach.
"Eh? Is it really that delicious? Let me try it too. You guys say it's so tasty, could it be fake?"
Yamauchi Haruki popped out from who knows where, holding chopsticks in his hand and reaching towards Shikime Natsu's bowl.
WTF, are you an imposter?
This guy could actually walk over with a smile on his face? Just what was inside his brain?
"Sorry, I don't intend to let you try it."
Shikime Natsu refused quite coldly.
"Don't be so stingy. You also came to our class, so everyone is together now."
Yamauchi Haruki remained completely oblivious, until Shikime Natsu's hand grabbed Yamauchi Haruki.
"Yamauchi-kun, Natsu isn't willing. Isn't it a bit excessive for you to do this?"
"Exactly, please leave. In the end, we didn't invite you over at all!"
Kushida Kikyou and Karuizawa Kei spoke one after another, driving Yamauchi Haruki away.
"Alright, alright, Haruki, let's go!"
Ike Kanji and Sudou Ken hurriedly pulled Yamauchi Haruki away.
"What the hell, so stingy! How could such a stingy person switch to our class?"
Yamauchi Haruki was still complaining.
"Sorry about that, Natsu."
Kushida Kikyou apologized. Clearly, it was none of her business, yet she apologized on behalf of the class's students. What magnanimity.
"That guy is just a rotten person. There's no need for Shikime-san to pay attention to that kind of guy."
Karuizawa Kei and the others also spoke up, their tone quite dissatisfied. The originally good atmosphere had been completely ruined by Yamauchi Haruki.
"It's fine."
Shikime Natsu shook his head. Yamauchi Haruki and Ike Kanji were eating the mountain vegetable set meal; it seemed Sudou Ken didn't have extra money to treat them either.
Class D really spent points fast.
The meals of the girls were also not low in price.
They wouldn't mistreat themselves in terms of eating.
As for Yamauchi Haruki...
Shikime Natsu had to think of a way. This school allowed dropouts. Originally, Shikime Natsu didn't intend to be so heartless; after all, they were all schoolmates.
But... Yamauchi Haruki's appearance not only affected his mood but also hindered him from collecting CGs. This was an unforgivable crime.
Of course, Shikime Natsu didn't plan to let Yamauchi Haruki leave so simply. At least... he had to be ruined, or... a bit more thoroughly.
