As the players walked into the classroom, the hallway quickly quieted down, leaving only Amamiya Natsuki and Komi.
Amamiya Natsuki's gaze shifted to the black-haired straight-haired girl.
Komi was secretly looking up, and as her gaze met Amamiya Natsuki's, she quickly lowered her head as if a mouse had seen a cat.
"Don't be afraid, it's just holding hands to copy the skill, I won't bully you."
Amamiya Natsuki spoke frankly and truthfully.
For girls like this little rabbit, who tremble at the slightest rustle, the guilt of bullying them is too strong.
Unlike the Spy Maid, if Komi were made to perform a backflip, his conscience would really hurt.
...
Komi still didn't say anything, just nodded lightly, took a deep breath, and slowly raised her trembling right hand.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds...
After several seconds, this black-haired straight-haired girl's right hand only extended a little, and under Amamiya Natsuki's gaze, it even showed a tendency to retract.
That's enough!
It's just holding hands, and you're still dawdling here. How shy are you?! Kaguya wasn't even this coy back then!
Amamiya Natsuki looked at the black-haired straight-haired girl and said faintly:
"Komi, have you read this quote before?"
"Huh?"
Komi tilted her small head, her expression curious.
"There's a quote I really like." Amamiya Natsuki said, "Human nature always prefers compromise and moderation. For example, if you say, 'This room is too dark,' and suggest opening a skylight here, everyone will definitely not allow it. But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will then compromise and be willing to open a skylight."
...
Komi quickly nodded.
I've heard of it.
It makes a lot of sense.
"Listen carefully." Amamiya Natsuki said with a straight face, "Extend your hand within three seconds, or I'll hug you."
Oh--!
Komi's eyes suddenly widened.
"I never joke."
Amamiya Natsuki took half a step forward, spreading his arms, ready to hug her.
The black-haired straight-haired girl immediately became flustered. This time, without any hesitation, she quickly extended her right hand.
Indeed.
For introverted girls who are not good at communicating, gentle words are far less effective than direct commands.
Looking at the jade-like hand extended in front of him, Amamiya Natsuki didn't stand on ceremony and directly grasped it.
So cold.
The temperature at night was indeed very low, so cold hands were understandable.
But what was that slightly damp feeling about?
How nervous must you be to have sweaty palms?!
Komi secretly looked up, and noticing the subtle change in Amamiya Natsuki's expression, the temperature on her pretty face suddenly rose, and steam billowed from the top of her head.
I've been, been discovered!
My palms are all sweaty when holding hands with a boy, I can't face anyone anymore!
The black-haired straight-haired girl was both shy and anxious, and instinctively wanted to pull her hand back.
"Don't move."
Amamiya Natsuki gripped the tender hand tightly. "If you let go now, all our efforts will be in vain."
"..."
Komi's body trembled slightly. She knew she was powerless to resist and finally resigned herself, lowering her head in a wronged manner. However, the steam from her head didn't stop, still puffing out.
Amamiya Natsuki didn't speak again, and the hallway quickly fell silent.
The players in the classroom were busily cleaning, while the hallway was exceptionally quiet. Separated by a door, it was as if they were in two different worlds.
Up until now, this Komi hadn't even uttered a sound, let alone spoken. The conversation was entirely a one-sided show, which was quite boring.
It would be better to look at the scenery.
Amamiya Natsuki stood in the hallway, looking out at the campus.
Well, it was dark and eerie, with no scenery at all.
"Phew..."
Time quietly slipped away, minute by minute. Komi let out a barely audible sigh.
During these few minutes, Amamiya Natsuki neither tried to chat with her nor made any frivolous moves. Komi's heart finally relaxed quietly, and she couldn't help but raise her eyes, curiously looking at Amamiya Natsuki's profile.
(Inui-san said that the boy in front of her is still in his first year of high school, so he should be a year younger than me...)
(But he's so amazing.)
(Even though he's younger than me, he's many times more capable.)
Although they were both players, there was no comparison between them, whether in terms of performance or mental fortitude.
Komi gently pursed her pink lips, and couldn't help but recall their first encounter.
Thinking of that kaidan Madame who modified her memories still sent shivers down her spine.
If it weren't for this boy, she would have been completely distorted in memory and become a stranger by now, right?
Thinking of Madame, the previous invasion naturally came to mind.
Komi also recalled how she decided to sacrifice herself to save her 'mother,' intending to satisfy Amamiya Natsuki's beastly desires with her body, and she actually took off her skirt...
The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became, and steam once again billowed from Komi's head.
"Hmm?"
Amamiya Natsuki heard the movement and turned his head in confusion.
She was fine just now, so why did she turn into a Steam Princess again in the blink of an eye?
"Almost," Amamiya Natsuki said. "About one more minute. Just hold on a little longer."
Komi nodded quickly.
The next second.
The black-haired girl with straight hair suddenly widened her eyes, followed by a gasp escaping her lips.
"Ah—!"
Amamiya Natsuki was caught off guard and almost had Komi break free. He instinctively pulled hard, pulling the black-haired girl with straight hair into his arms instead.
"Up, up, up, up..."
Komi completely disregarded being held in the boy's arms and stammered out words.
"What's up there?"
Amamiya Natsuki turned his head to look behind him.
A pale-skinned, black-eyed kaidan loli was hanging upside down from the ceiling, grinning with terrifying, shark-like teeth.
It's just a little Hanako, what's there to be afraid of! You've been with her for quite a while now, haven't you!
Amamiya Natsuki said expressionlessly:
"Hanako, come down."
The kaidan loli hung upside down from the hallway ceiling: "I'm not coming down."
Amamiya Natsuki said:
"Why are you scaring Komi for no reason?"
"Hmph." The kaidan loli crossed her arms over her chest, her tone very displeased. "The person I was scaring was clearly you, not this woman."
This man in front of her was super annoying.
Not only did he threaten her with her mother, but he also touched her head and ordered her around. As a kaidan, she had never suffered such indignity!
Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow and said:
"Your panties are showing."
"Eh?"
The kaidan loli hanging from the hallway ceiling instinctively covered her skirt.
Komi, whose face was pale and eyes were teary, and who had just caught her breath, instinctively looked up.
Indeed.
This Komi just couldn't speak; her curiosity and gossip were not lacking at all.
