A little something to make up for the wrong chapter! đđ
___
After ending the call with Mashima Tomoya and sending the message to the group chat, Shikime Natsu shoved his phone back into his pocket, then turned around and walked back into the clothing store.
Anyway, no matter what happened, he just needed to handle it well. This special activity could only yield a maximum of forty thousand Personal Pointsâthirty thousand from the three students winning in other classes, and ten thousand obtained by his own class member if an outsider lost within Class A. It had to be said that the school's rewards were truly lacking.
It wasn't as good as what he could casually take from Ryuuen Kakeru's pocket. From the start of school until now, Ryuuen Kakeru had already contributed 2.26 million Personal Points to him, making him his biggest patron. Hoshinomiya Chie came in second with 1.5 million Personal Points.
As soon as he entered the door, Kushida Kikyou's eyes locked directly onto Shikime Natsu.
She held a coordinated outfit in her hands: a cleanly cut off-white casual suit jacket, a simple black high-neck base layer underneath, and slim-fitting dark trousers for the lower body.
"Natsu, come try this on quickly! Mei-chan and I both think this outfit suits you perfectly~"
She wore a sweet and lovely smile on her face.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Shikime Natsu took the clothes, offered a simple thanks, and walked into the fitting room.
Possessing the skills of a fashion expert, Shikime Natsu changed clothes very quickly. Even though he deliberately stalled for a bit, he was done in half a minute.
Watching Shikime Natsu walk out, Kushida Kikyou's eyes couldn't help but freeze for a moment. This guy... his character model was indeed quite capable. Even Kushida Kikyou's gaze was involuntarily stolen by Shikime Natsu for a certain amount of time.
This outfit brought out Shikime Natsu's already outstanding physique and temperament to the fullest. The whole person looked like a model who had walked out of a fashion magazineârefreshing, handsome, and full of charm.
"...It looks very good."
Mei-Yu Wang praised softly, her purple eyes almost glued to Shikime Natsu's body.
"Natsu, what do you think yourself?"
Kushida Kikyou asked with a smile, then pulled him in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror.
The figure in the mirror made Shikime Natsu nod in satisfaction himself.
As expected of a girl's eye, it was indeed much stronger than his own style of just throwing on a T-shirt. However... clothes like this were usually worn for evening parties, right? Of course, it didn't really matter.
However, this was ultimately because he had an excellent character model and perfect body proportions.
No matter what clothes he wore, they would actually fit quite well; it was just that this particular outfit could be counted as the icing on the cake.
"It's very good, let's go with this set."
Shikime Natsu also decided quickly. After all, the two girls bought clothes so fast; if he, a boy, were to dawdle, it would really be unseemly.
As long as it wasn't some kind of prank outfit, Shikime Natsu could basically accept it.
"By the way, to thank you for your help, let me treat you to dessert. I recall there seems to be a dessert shop with good reviews nearby."
After taking the clothes, Shikime Natsu turned to look at the two of them and led them to the dessert shop in his memory. The reviews here were naturally something Shikime Natsu had browsed; on the school's internal network platform, student evaluations of various shops could be seen.
Arriving at the dessert shop, one could tell just from the exterior decoration that the price of desserts here was definitely not lowâat least, it wasn't a place one could consume at every day.
"This is too expensive, isn't it?"
Mei-Yu Wang looked at the prices of the desserts on the sign outside and couldn't help but speak up. The prices of these desserts were basically between one thousand and three thousand points. That was almost enough for several meals; if saved, it could buy a new piece of clothing.
"It's fine, it's fine. I just happen to want to try it too."
Shikime Natsu waved his hand and smiled. Shikime Natsu didn't mind spending money on 'stupidity taxes' or the like. Of course, the main thing was to utilize his ability as a Master Chef. As long as he tasted a mouthful, Shikime Natsu could know how the dessert was made and could improve upon it.
After all, even a Master Chef couldn't make food out of thin air if they hadn't eaten it before and didn't have a recipe.
One afternoon tea session directly cost about five thousand Personal Points.
This guy... is truly rich.
"Wow, thank you, Natsu! I've always wanted to taste the Strawberry Mille Crepe here!"
Clasping her hands together, Kushida Kikyou looked at the dessert placed in front of her and smiled sweetly, accepting it quite naturally.
Mei-Yu Wang also blushed and whispered her thanks.
"Thank you, Shiki-san."
The three sat by the window, enjoying their desserts.
"Sigh... if only every day could be this happy."
Kushida Kikyou gently poked the Strawberry Mille Crepe in front of her with a small fork, letting out a satisfied sigh. Although Shikime Natsu did all sorts of bad things, the taste of this Strawberry Mille Crepe he gave her was not bad. She was very satisfied.
"Yes..."
Mei-Yu Wang also took small bites of her pudding, nodding in empathy.
"By the way, I heard that starting next Monday, the school will hold an 'Exchange Student Special Activity'. Would any of you be willing to come to our Class A?"
Shikime Natsu looked at the two and put down the drink in his hand.
"Eh?"
"Exchange student?"
Kushida Kikyou and Mei-Yu Wang revealed blank expressions simultaneously, clearly knowing nothing about this matter.
Shikime Natsu then concisely explained the rules he had just heard from Mashima Tomoya to the two of them.
Since this was an activity all classes had to participate in, the news would be announced very soon, so revealing it in advance was harmless.
After listening to the explanation, Kushida Kikyou was still somewhat puzzled. What was the significance of the school holding this kind of activity?
"So that's how it is. I also really want to go to Class A. That way, I can make many new friends again."
She tapped her chin with her finger, then revealed a sweet smile. Her tone was full of sincerity, and those big eyes blinked and fluttered, as if she were truly just a simple girl longing to make more friends.
"Shiki-san, will you come to our Class D?"
Mei-Yu Wang looked at Shikime Natsu with a trace of anticipation. After all, there was only one spot, and she definitely couldn't snatch it from those other people.
"Hmm... I'll think about it. After all, I am the Class Leader, so I have to ask the opinions of other classmates first."
Shikime Natsu wasn't sure either.
"It must be very hard being the Class Leader, Natsu. You have to consider the classmates' affairs before considering your own. However, Natsu is a very good Class Leader."
Kushida Kikyou immediately interjected, her tone full of thoughtfulness, while a glint of imperceptible panic flashed in her eyes. She absolutely did not want Shikime Natsu to come to Class D!
If Shikime Natsu said something reckless in her class, wouldn't the 'Angel' persona she had painstakingly built up in the class collapse on the spot?
She wouldn't be able to survive in this school anymore!
"Kikyou is right. As the Class Leader, I indeed have to consider the thoughts of the majority. However... if there is a chance, I will definitely go."
Shikime Natsu lifted his drink and glanced at Kushida Kikyou with a faint smile that wasn't quite a smile.
"..."
The smile on Kushida Kikyou's face froze slightly, but it returned to nature very quickly. She met Shikime Natsu's gaze without fear and smiled sweetly.
"By the way, Wang-san, can I call you Mei-chan like Kikyou does from now on?"
Shikime Natsu stopped focusing his attention on Kushida Kikyou and turned to Mei-Yu Wang.
"Eh?! Th... This... Mn! Y-Yes, you can! Totally no problem!"
Mei-Yu Wang froze for a moment; this question was somewhat unexpected.
Changing the form of address... meant the relationship had become closer. She was very willing, especially since when Shikime Natsu addressed her and Kushida Kikyou earlier, the young girl always felt like she was being excluded.
"Then... then can I call you Natsu?"
"Of course. Then, please treat me well, Mei-chan."
Shikime Natsu nodded, revealing a gentle smile.
"Mn! Please treat me well, Natsu."
Mei-Yu Wang nodded with a smile. Kushida Kikyou's gaze swept back and forth between Shikime Natsu and Mei-Yu Wang, her thoughts unknown.
The pleasant afternoon tea time ended quickly, and Shikime Natsu bid farewell to the two beautiful girls and returned to his dormitory.
Today's Kushida Kikyou was quite uncooperative. She stayed with him for so long, and even ate the dessert he treated her to, yet she didn't trigger a single CG.
If this keeps up, I'll have to collect interest.
He took out his phone again to check the messages in the group.
