"I don't have time this afternoon." Amamiya Natsuki explained, "Marin sent a message earlier, saying she wants to continue researching cosplay this afternoon, and I've already agreed to her."
"...I see."
Shinomiya Kaguya crossed her arms, her expression calm.
Since he had already agreed to someone else, there was nothing she could do... So annoying!
She had secretly practiced for so long yesterday, just to say the invitation in a natural tone, and she was rejected outright! And the reason for the rejection was a date with another woman. How could she be happy?!
"How many of you are studying this afternoon?"
Shinomiya Kaguya asked casually.
"Three people."
"...And Fujiwara?"
"It's the girl we met in Akihabara yesterday. Fujiwara-san has a date today."
"Eh?" Shinomiya Kaguya's tone clearly showed a hint of curiosity, "What kind of date does Fujiwara-san have?"
Unlike you, Miss Ice Princess, Fujiwara-san has friends all over the school. After Golden Week, of course, she's going to go shopping and eat with her friends and besties!
"She said she's going to a dessert shop with her bestie, and then to karaoke to sing. To avoid a spoil-sport, I let her copy my ability this morning." Amamiya Natsuki finished cleaning, put the cleaning tools back into the utility closet, and turned to Kaguya-san, "...Marin didn't text you to come along?"
"She texted me."
Shinomiya Kaguya subtly turned her pretty face away.
During lunch break, Kitagawa-san did text her, asking if she wanted to go cosplay together after school, but Shinomiya Kaguya refused.
At the time, she only thought about going on a date together in the afternoon, who knew someone else would get there first.
Buzz buzz buzz.
The sound of an insect flapping its wings suddenly rang out.
Amamiya Natsuki looked in the direction of the sound. A black and yellow hornet flew in from outside the door, circled once in the air, and headed straight for Shinomiya Kaguya.
Needless to say, it was clearly attracted by the bad luck aura.
"Be careful, there's a hornet."
Amamiya Natsuki quickly warned and was about to go help.
This thing isn't a bee; if it stings you, it can really hurt for half a day.
Shinomiya Kaguya's expression was calm and composed. With a slight raise of her delicate eyebrows, she grabbed the textbook on the desk and slapped it, her movements crisp, neat, and graceful.
Smack!
The buzzing sound instantly disappeared.
The hornet that had just charged fell.
Shinomiya Kaguya said calmly, putting down the textbook in her hand: "It's just a hornet, it's so slow, you can just slap it down, right?"
Girls are very different from each other.
Some girls scream and run away when they see creatures like cockroaches, while others remain expressionless, achieving the 'Pest Slayer' accomplishment.
That's right, Shinomiya Kaguya is the second type of girl.
Let alone a hornet, even if a cockroach flew in, she would hit it without hesitation, completely unafraid.
"Heroine, impressive skill." Amamiya Natsuki gave a thumbs up, praising, "Three minutes have passed, continue to stay alert."
Shinomiya Kaguya: "..."
After cleaning the classroom, Amamiya Natsuki didn't rush to leave. Instead, he sat down in the seat next to Kaguya-san, preparing to read a book.
This Naive Ojou-sama is plagued by bad luck, leaving her alone in the classroom felt a little uneasy.
"Stare—"
Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face slightly tensed, and a serious, solemn aura quickly emanated from her, making it hard to breathe.
This is... the aura of internal competition!
"Natsuki-kun is very diligent." Shinomiya Kaguya smiled, and the speed of her writing clearly quickened a bit.
"You flatter me." Amamiya Natsuki said casually, "I just spend all twenty-five hours of the day studying."
"There aren't twenty-five hours in a day!"
"..."
In this state of internal competition, even bad luck retreated, and no more unlucky things happened for a while.
Time quietly passed.
The classroom became quiet.
"Hoo..."
After finishing the last practice problem, Shinomiya Kaguya gently exhaled, temporarily put down her pen, rubbed her wrist, and looked at the boy sitting at the desk next to her:
"It's been almost half an hour, hasn't it?"
Amamiya Natsuki turned his head: "Three more minutes."
The classroom in the afternoon was especially quiet.
Cool breeze blew.
Warm sunlight poured in from outside the window, landing precisely on Amamiya Natsuki's profile. From Shinomiya Kaguya's perspective, the boy at the next desk seemed to emit a faint glow, making her unable to look away.
Rustle rustle.
The pages of the book on the desk kept turning in the wind, making a pleasant sound.
A purple sticky note tucked inside the book was blown up by the wind.
Shinomiya Kaguya instinctively reached out to grab it, but the chair beneath her suddenly slid, and her body instantly lost balance, tilting forward, and she ended up lying on Amamiya Natsuki's lap.
Bad luck erupted again.
"Ugh..."
Shinomiya Kaguya's knee hit the ground, and she let out a muffled groan.
"The bad luck hasn't passed yet, you can't relax your guard for a moment." Amamiya Natsuki sighed, "You were careless."
"Who knew the sticky note would be blown away by the wind."
Shinomiya Kaguya lightly bit her silver teeth. As she spoke, she looked up, and suddenly felt her hair being pulled by something.
"Don't, don't move, my hair is caught."
"Where?"
"I don't know."
Amidst the pulling and tugging, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open with a whoosh.
A slender, short-haired girl walked in.
"Natsuki-kun, you haven't left yet… Eh, eh, eh?!"
Her gaze moved downwards, seeing Kaguya-san lying on Amamiya Natsuki's lap, the short-haired girl was instantly thunderstruck, completely stunned.
"Is that Kaguya-san?!"
Kaguya-san, who was pure and unblemished, like a high-mountain flower, actually willing to do that kind of thing for a boy?
And in the classroom!
Unbelievable, no matter how you think about it, it's too perverted!
Those who secretly liked Kaguya-san would surely collapse if they saw this scene!
"Kashiwagi-san." Amamiya Natsuki turned to look, his voice faint, "You really have impeccable timing."
The short-haired girl in front of him was Kashiwagi Nagisa, his classmate who went to the arcade with him to play arcade games. Amamiya Natsuki suspected she had a 'catching in the act' skill, otherwise, how could she always appear at crucial moments?
"I, I'm sorry!"
Kashiwagi Nagisa snapped back to reality and quickly bowed ninety degrees in apology, her petite body trembling, her voice flustered, "I didn't see anything, I promise I won't tell anyone."
After speaking, she turned to run away.
"Stop."
Amamiya Natsuki's voice deepened.
The short-haired girl trembled in fear, timidly stopped, not daring to move.
"Come here." Amamiya Natsuki commanded, "See for yourself."
He had to prove their innocence on the spot.
If Kashiwagi-san escaped, both of their reputations would be completely ruined. Amamiya Natsuki didn't care about his reputation, but Kaguya-san, as a girl, certainly couldn't bear the nickname of 'perverted young lady.'
"Let, let me come over and see clearly?"
Kashiwagi Nagisa raised her hands, covering her pink lips in disbelief, her small face flushed red and white, feeling dizzy and about to crash, unable to think anymore.
Doing that kind of thing with Kaguya-san in the classroom, not being ashamed was one thing, but why did he want her to see clearly?
Does Natsuki-kun have a special exhibitionist tendency?
Or, or is he saying... he wants her to take over from Kaguya-san?
