"Starting today, the coin will be thrown in turns."
Fujiwara Chika held up a finger, her expression serious:
"Rights and obligations are inherently reciprocal. In short, one cannot just take advantage without bearing responsibility."
Simply put, there's no gain without effort.
If the person doing the charging isn't present, and someone else always gets to throw the coin first, over time, it will naturally cause unhappiness.
"Seconded."
Kitagawa Marin interlaced her fingers, her voice clear and crisp:
"Fairness, fairness, and still fairness!"
"For example, if I, Chika, and Kaguya-san work hard to fully charge the coin with the necessary luck, and then Natsuki-kun throws it, it feels strange, like he's freeloading."
"I apologize." Amamiya Natsuki raised his right hand, "My stomach isn't good, I'm suited for freeloading."
"Pfft~"
Secretary ignored Natsuki's comment and continued:
"So, let's discuss the order for throwing the coin?"
"The order doesn't need to be fixed; it can be arranged according to everyone's free time." Shinomiya Kaguya pursed her pink lips and said calmly, "We can use a notebook to record the time and person for each coin toss, to statistically analyze the patterns. If the absorbed luck is a constant value each time, the number of charges should also be a constant value."
"Not during class." Fujiwara Chika added, "When throwing the coin, it's best not to cause trouble for others."
Kitagawa Marin propped her chin on her right hand: "Not during lunch break either. What if you sneeze while eating and spray someone? That would be troublesome."
"It's still most suitable after school, isn't it?"
"..."
The three girls exchanged words, and quickly settled on the upcoming procedures.
"I'll go first after school." Shinomiya Kaguya said finally, "I also have to go home early in the afternoon for tea ceremony lessons."
The discussion concluded.
The few of them left the Game Club activity room and headed to their classrooms.
Amamiya Natsuki walked to his seat, put down his schoolbag, pulled out his chair and sat down, then turned to look out the window.
The sky was clear and bright.
The sun was shining brightly.
Seven or eight strangely shaped evil spirits were strolling on the playground with the students who were watching the show.
It was another peaceful and harmonious day.
The morning passed quickly, and without further ado, it was already lunchtime.
"Going to the rooftop to eat?"
Amamiya Natsuki took out his phone and sent a message to the secretary.
"No," Fujiwara Chika quickly replied. "The teacher called me to the office. I'll be back to eat bento with my friends later."
He was rejected.
As expected, Amamiya Natsuki didn't mind. He put away his phone, preparing to go out and buy bread for lunch.
But just as he walked out of the classroom, his phone vibrated again.
He took it out and saw it was still a message from Fujiwara Chika.
"The rooftop… let's do it tomorrow."
Amamiya Natsuki: "You promised, no going back on your word."
Fujiwara Chika: "I won't go back on my word."
"…"
After buying bread, Amamiya Natsuki was about to return to the classroom to eat when he suddenly saw Fujiwara Chika hurrying from the opposite side of the hallway.
"Natsuki-kun!"
Seeing Amamiya Natsuki, Fujiwara Chika's eyes lit up. She took two quick steps, came before Amamiya Natsuki, and handed him the milk in her hand: "Here, for you."
Amamiya Natsuki raised the milk in his hand and said:
"I bought some."
"The milk isn't for you to drink," Fujiwara Chika explained. "I just met a friend who said there's a stray cat on campus, near the pavilion in the northeast corner of the school. It looks very pitiful."
"I was going to feed it myself, but I just received a message telling me to fill out a report… The cat food and milk are all here, Natsuki-kun, please go and feed it."
Amamiya Natsuki sighed: "So you just want me to feed a cat. How boring."
The secretary glared at him: "I'll feed you tomorrow."
Amamiya Natsuki asked curiously:
"Never mind the milk, the school doesn't sell cat food, does it?"
"My friend is a member of the small animal rescue association. She also had something to do, so she handed the cat food over to me. That's how it is."
"…"
Amamiya Natsuki nodded, took the cat food and milk, said goodbye to Chika, and headed to the pavilion in the northeast corner of the school.
The junior high and high school sections of Shuchiin Academy are located on the same campus. Middle school students often come to the high school section to play, and the pavilion is located precisely between the junior high and high school sections.
Amamiya Natsuki followed the address to the vicinity of the pavilion and soon heard faint meowing sounds. After searching around, he finally found a stray cat behind a flowerbed not far away.
This stray cat was not large, clearly not an adult, but it was very pretty. It was unclear if it had been abandoned or had accidentally gotten lost, and it didn't seem very afraid of strangers.
Amamiya Natsuki put the cat food in a box, poured out the milk, and then sat down next to it, eating his own bread.
Before long, the little stray cat relaxed its guard and came over to eat.
One person and one cat quietly enjoyed their lunch.
"Eh, Natsuki-kun?"
A familiar voice suddenly rang out.
Amamiya Natsuki looked in the direction of the voice. The speaker was a short-haired girl he hadn't seen in a long time.
"Kashiwagi."
Beside Kashiwagi, there was also a girl walking side by side, with blue eyes, golden hair tied in a side ponytail, her school uniform tied around her waist, and a lollipop in her mouth—the typical campus hot girl attire.
For some reason, Amamiya Natsuki always felt that the campus hot girl in front of him looked exceptionally familiar.
"Natsuki-kun, are you feeding the cat?"
Kashiwagi walked over, looking curiously at the stray cat.
"It was Chika…"
Amamiya Natsuki casually explained, not taking credit.
"This cat is so pretty." Kashiwagi's eyes were full of anticipation. "Um, can I pet it?"
"Asking me if you can pet it is useless," Amamiya Natsuki said. "You have to ask it."
"Then I'll ask." Kashiwagi put her hands on her knees. "Meow meow~ Can I pet you?"
The stray cat was engrossed in eating and completely ignored the approaching girl.
Amamiya Natsuki only glanced at it before retracting his gaze. The beautiful scene of the girl interacting with the cat was not as attractive as the campus hot girl next to him.
"Have we met somewhere before?"
Amamiya Natsuki looked at Hayasaka Ai.
(Is my identity being suspected?)
Hayasaka Ai's expression remained unchanged, but her mind began to race rapidly.
Stay calm.
My identity cannot be exposed yet.
A spy who acts in secret is a good spy. Whether in movies or comics, once a spy's identity is exposed, their life is pretty much over!
"Pop~"
Hayasaka Ai pulled the lollipop out of her mouth with a soft 'pop' sound, took half a step back, covered her chest, and said:
"Is Natsuki-kun trying to pick me up?"
"I'm sorry, but please allow me to refuse."
"Using such an old-fashioned pick-up line right off the bat, it's completely uninteresting."
"…"
Hearing their conversation, Kashiwagi turned her head and explained:
"She's Hayasaka-san, from the class next to ours. We came here to eat bento together today… Natsuki-kun must have seen her by chance and remembered her, right?"
"After all, Hayasaka-san is very cute."
He wasn't sure about cute, but the sense of familiarity was growing stronger and stronger.
A cool breeze blew past.
A faint, sweet fragrance wafted from the hot girl, carried by the wind into Amamiya Natsuki's nose.
The scent was very familiar.
It was the sweet scent of citrus.
"The scent is very familiar…"
Amamiya Natsuki sniffed, looked at Hayasaka, raised an eyebrow slightly, and showed a thoughtful expression on his face.
It was just like that Saturday, when he was pressed under a junior's skirt…
"Warning, Natsuki-kun's pick-up line just now was on a perversion."
The hot girl covered her skirt, cautiously took a few steps back, and deadpanned:
"I'm sorry, I'm already feeling psychologically uncomfortable. I suggest Natsuki-kun learn some tips on how to pick up girls after school."
"Cough, cough." Kashiwagi lightly coughed twice. "Natsuki-kun, don't mind her. Hayasaka just has that kind of personality where she likes to complain about others."
The short-haired girl said this as she walked over and sat down beside Amamiya Natsuki, lowering her voice:
"Natsuki-kun, don't casually try to pick up Hayasaka. Kaguya-san will get angry, you know."
"I'm not afraid." Amamiya Natsuki took a bite of bread. "A boy must first have courage. Even if Kaguya-san were here, I would dare to pick up someone else in front of her."
Kashiwagi smiled and took out her phone: "Ah, I didn't hear clearly. Natsuki-kun, please say it again. I'll record it on my phone."
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please put down your phone."
"…"
After finishing his bread, Amamiya Natsuki took out his phone, took a photo of the stray cat, and sent it to Fujiwara Chika.
Just as he was about to leave, a surprised shout suddenly entered his ears.
"Eh, Senpai?"
Amamiya Natsuki looked in the direction of the voice and saw a short-haired girl with twin pigtails jogging over from the direction of the junior high. It was Fujiwara Moeha, whom he had seen just the day before yesterday.
"My seat is by the window. While I was eating bento in the classroom just now, I turned my head and happened to see Senpai feeding the cat," Fujiwara Moeha's voice was filled with surprise. "Senpai is indeed a kind person."
Sorry, you're wrong.
It was all just your sister's mission.
If it weren't for your sister's mission, who would come to feed a stray cat!
Chika had already issued a gag order that his identity as a player could not be revealed, and their relationship also had to be kept secret. Amamiya Natsuki kept his word and did not expose Chika. He clapped his hands and said:
"You're done eating. I'm going back to the classroom."
"Senpai, please wait a moment." Fujiwara Moeha gathered her courage and looked over, her small face slightly red as she said, "Thank you for your help that night, Senpai. I prepared a thank-you gift for you, but I was in too much of a hurry when I came down just now and forgot to bring it… Um, Senpai, could we exchange contact information?"
A straightforward thank you, and a direct request for contact information, indeed made it impossible to refuse.
Amamiya Natsuki nodded and took out his phone.
"Stare—"
A gaze looked over.
Amamiya Natsuki turned his head and saw the hot girl, Hayasaka Ai, looking over with narrowed eyes.
Hey, hey, what kind of look is that?
It's just exchanging contact information with a middle schooler. Don't treat others like perverts!
Contact information successfully exchanged.
"Thank you, Senpai." Fujiwara Moeha put away her phone, happily watched the stray cat for a while, waved goodbye, "Senpai, I'm going back now."
"Mm."
The small interlude ended. Amamiya Natsuki greeted Kashiwagi, glanced once more at the Blonde Hot Girl who always felt very familiar, and turned to leave.
Second period in the afternoon.
Swimming class.
As the weather gradually grew warmer, summer swimming classes resumed, arguably one of the most popular courses.
Watching the students, in twos and threes, walk towards the swimming pool, Shinomiya Kaguya crossed her arms over her chest, her pretty face hidden in the shadows of the curtains, her voice echoing with the tone of night:
"A mere swimming class. I completely don't understand why these people are happy."
A voice sounded behind Shinomiya Kaguya: "Well, boys are just such shallow creatures."
Hayasaka Ai, with her golden side ponytail, school uniform tied around her waist, and a lollipop in her mouth, had somehow slipped over from next door. She placed her right hand on her hip and said:
"Please try to understand them, Young Miss. After all, for them, swimming with high school beauties is already the highlight of their lives."
Shinomiya Kaguya retorted: "Natsuki-kun isn't like that."
Hayasaka Ai: "Tsk~ You never know."
Shinomiya Kaguya: "In any case, Natsuki-kun isn't that kind of person."
You're seeing him through rose-colored glasses! How could a guy who threatens other people's daughters with their wives be a good person?!
Hayasaka Ai turned her pretty face away: "Well, if Young Miss says so, then it is so."
After a pause, Hayasaka Ai said again:
"Swimming class is about to start, isn't Miss going to change clothes?"
Shinomiya Kaguya: "… …"
After a brief silence, Shinomiya Kaguya said in a low voice, seemingly a little embarrassed: "My stomach hurts, I don't want to go to swimming class."
Hayasaka Ai chewed on a lollipop:
"If you're absent for no reason, it will be counted as truancy."
"That's why I said my stomach hurts!" Sheltered Ojou-sama bit her lower lip with her white teeth, raised her right hand, and covered her chest, "I'll definitely be laughed at during swimming class, everyone else is fine, but I especially don't want him to look down on me!"
As the eldest lady of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Kaguya is a genius girl at the top of the campus, impeccable in academics, beauty, and intelligence.
There is only one thing that makes people sigh.
Flat as a board.
A hopeless case.
Shinomiya Kaguya can proudly say that among the eighteen girls in the entire class, she can say that she is the second from the bottom in terms of breast size, and no one dares to be the last.
However, the school swimsuit itself has a strong slimming effect, and when a flat-chested girl wears it, the result is that the front and back are the same, and it is impossible to tell the front from the back.
It didn't matter before, as the Ice Snow Kaguya-hime, Shinomiya Kaguya didn't care about other people's opinions at all.
But now… very concerned! Super concerned!
I don't want to see Amamiya Natsuki shaking his head and sighing at all!
Hayasaka Ai naturally knew what Kaguya-san was thinking, and now she is becoming more and more understandable: "Miss, didn't you just say that Natsuki-kun isn't a superficial person?"
"T-That kind of thing has nothing to do with superficiality…" Shinomiya Kaguya stammered, "It's instinct!"
Hayasaka Ai folded her right hand in front of her chest and said:
"Speaking of instinct, boys have an even stronger instinct."
"Eh, what is it?"
"As long as they're cute, even perverts are okay." Hayasaka Ai held out a finger, "Boys are creatures that will still like girls even if they're flat-chested as long as they're cute."
"Miss is so cute, so it'll definitely be okay."
Shinomiya Kaguya was still a little unsure: "…Really?"
"This is the instinct of all male creatures, definitely right." Hayasaka Ai changed the subject and took out something indescribable from her bag, "Miss, if you're still worried, you can try this chest pad. It's breathable, comfortable, super soft, and can also make the shape upright without any discomfort."
Hayasaka Ai gave a thumbs up: "Everyone who has used it says it's good."
"The person who has used it is actually you, right!"
Shinomiya Kaguya's heart moved and she stretched out her right hand, but halfway through, she retracted her hand and shook her head vigorously, "Forget it… this kind of thing is just a false thing, it will be exposed as soon as you take off your clothes, right?"
Hayasaka Ai pretended to be shocked and said:
"Miss has already decided to take off her clothes and seduce Natsuki-kun with her body?"
"I didn't!" Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face turned red and she couldn't help but shout, "Who would do such an embarrassing thing!"
"Yes, yes." Hayasaka Ai casually echoed, "So, you'll be late for the swimming pool if you don't go soon."
Shinomiya Kaguya took a deep breath: "…Go to swimming class!"
At the same time.
Amamiya Natsuki had already arrived at the swimming pool, changed into his swimming trunks, and waited for class to begin.
Starting from elementary school, swimming classes have been co-ed, regardless of gender. Of course, there are different lanes in the swimming pool, so it's not a chaotic mess. Basically, boys are in one group and girls are in another group, and the swimming pool is very large, with more than one class taking lessons.
Close to class time, Shinomiya Kaguya quietly walked from the direction of the changing room.
Amamiya Natsuki noticed Sheltered Ojou-sama immediately.
The deep cyan school swimsuit was extremely form-fitting.
Her hair was tied up and wrapped in a bath towel, revealing her smooth forehead.
Her skin was as white and delicate as snow, as if it was glowing in the sunlight.
Amamiya Natsuki's gaze moved down, swept across Sheltered Ojou-sama's chest, and then sighed softly.
The angle he was standing at was just right to look at Kaguya-san from the side. From a distance, it was almost impossible to tell the front from the back.
She's cute, that's right, but she's also really flat.
(She sighed, right?)
(She clearly sighed just now!)
After Shinomiya Kaguya came out, she noticed Amamiya Natsuki's location and secretly glanced over with the corner of her eye. As a result, she happened to see Amamiya Natsuki sighing, and almost crushed her silver teeth.
While waiting, Amamiya Natsuki suddenly heard the boys' discussions.
"Look, it's Tsubame-senpai!"
"Senpai, my senpai!"
"Tsubame-senpai's skin is so white, and her figure is getting better and better."
There were also some strange voices mixed in.
"I really want to be stepped on by Tsubame-senpai, trampled hard."
"Great minds think alike."
Wait, you guys have perverted minds that think alike!
Amamiya Natsuki followed the boys' gaze and looked into the distance. That was Koyasu Tsubame, known as the campus goddess. Like Kaguya-san, she was one of the campus celebrities, but she had a gentle and cheerful personality and many friends. She was the goddess in the hearts of many people. In terms of popularity, she could leave Kaguya-san several streets behind.
In addition, her figure was also quite good.
Amamiya Natsuki simply estimated that she could beat ten Kaguya-sans.
The gap between people is sometimes so cruel.
(Hehehe…)
Seeing Amamiya Natsuki and other boys together, admiring the beauty of the senpai as a group, Sheltered Ojou-sama immediately became angry.
(Hayasaka-san was right, I was wrong. Boys are just such superficial creatures, their eyes are only on oppai, without exception!)
