Shikime Natsu's face lit up with joy when he saw the reward. Sakayanagi Arisu had really come through. This reward was exactly what he wanted. With it, he wouldn't have to worry about getting sick, since this skill could be used on himself.
It was just... why was a healing-type skill a massage technique? This cheat ability was a bit too lewd!
By this time, Sakayanagi Arisu had already walked out of the dorm room. Fortunately, she didn't slam the door with a 'bang'. The girl's tolerance was much stronger than he had imagined.
However... she was far too cunning. If it hadn't been for the maid outfit CG, Shikime Natsu would never have known that Sakayanagi Arisu had brought a recording pen, hidden inside her maid outfit. Fortunately, he had Master Thief. When he moved the chair for her, he had directly taken Sakayanagi Arisu's recording pen and her phone. He turned the phone off and took the recording pen in his hand.
Of course, even so, Shikime Natsu chose not to answer Sakayanagi Arisu's question. He had no intention of leaving Sakayanagi Arisu even the slightest possibility.
If this woman got any leverage on him, it would be truly disastrous.
Shikime Natsu checked the area where Sakayanagi Arisu had been. After confirming there were no devices planted, he let out a small sigh of relief. But that was to be expected. With Sakayanagi Arisu's physical condition, there were many things she couldn't do, unless she bought something like a pinhole camera. Of course, such a thing would be very expensive.
Sakayanagi Arisu's maid outfit was worth ten thousand points. If she made any more purchases, Sakayanagi Arisu would probably have to eat the wild vegetable set meal for most of her time. How pitiful.
As for his skill card, Shikime Natsu planned to use it on Sakayanagi Arisu, but only after he had 'trained' her personality a little.
Her current personality was quite awful. If he gave her more mobility, there was no telling what she might do.
Shikime Natsu suddenly remembered that Kamuro Masumi had also asked for his room number, but she hadn't come tonight. Had she forgotten?
But, he didn't care. Shikime Natsu washed up quickly and then went to sleep.
....
"Good morning, Horikita."
Shikime Natsu took the initiative to greet the cold, long-haired beauty with black hair in the elevator.
He had previously sold some information to Horikita Suzune. He wondered if Horikita Suzune had managed to deduce any useful news from it.
In response to Shikime Natsu's greeting, Horikita Suzune didn't even lift her head, her gaze remaining on her book. She only silently distanced herself from Shikime Natsu when he stepped into the elevator.
"Good morning, pervert..."
"Shut up!"
Horikita Suzune glared at Shikime Natsu furiously. This guy really had an awful personality.
"It seems I'll have to call you pervert from now on. You don't seem to respond when I call you Horikita."
Shikime Natsu said with a smile.
This guy really was annoying!
"Don't say that word!"
Horikita Suzune's wine-red eyes were filled with anger and dissatisfaction. Running into this annoying guy first thing in the morning had completely ruined her good mood for the day.
Of course, Horikita Suzune, like Kamuro Masumi, was the type who could go a whole day without cracking a single smile.
"Then remember to answer me next time."
Shikime Natsu spoke.
"I know, but... don't bother me for no reason."
Horikita Suzune agreed. She had to; she had no reason not to. If she let Shikime Natsu spread that word around, she'd never be able to face her brother.
Even after being at this school for a few days, Horikita Suzune still wasn't mentally prepared to see Horikita Manabu.
"Of course. So... good morning, Horikita."
Shikime Natsu chuckled lightly, his light golden eyes staring straight at Horikita Suzune.
"Good morning."
Horikita Suzune didn't know why, but speaking like this brought her a sense of shame. She felt like something was off about her.
"See? You can greet people normally, can't you?"
Shikime Natsu chuckled softly.
[Ding~]
[CG17: Good Morning (Horikita Suzune)]
[Why am I doing this!]
[Congratulations, Host. You've obtained the Item Card: A-Rank Power and Speed Pill (After taking this, your power and speed can both reach A-rank. If you can break through human limits, you can also become Platinum Star.)]
This CG came as a bit of a surprise to Shikime Natsu. After all, of all the people he'd met, only Horikita Suzune had given him a CG for a simple greeting.
Maybe today would be a good day.
From getting on the elevator to getting off, Horikita Suzune basically didn't initiate any conversation, continuing to read her book.
Was this book really that good?
Shikime Natsu remembered that Horikita Suzune seemed to be reading this novel called 'Crime and Punishment' back on the bus, and she was still reading it now.
Of course, Shikime Natsu wouldn't bring it up. After all, if she turned it back on him, it would be a disaster—something like, "Why are you always paying attention to me, you even know what book I'm reading."
But... whether Horikita Suzune would actually say that was a question.
After all, Horikita Suzune's debating skills... didn't seem very strong.
"Horikita, how many points do you have left?"
Shikime Natsu asked very casually.
"Thanks to you, I only have a little over thirty thousand left."
Horikita Suzune's tone carried a hint of personal emotion. To dare sell her such a small amount of information for sixty thousand points was truly outrageous.
Shikime Natsu was the one who felt he had gotten a bad deal. Information worth two million personal points for that little.
"Oh, I see. That sounds tough."
Shikime Natsu nodded.
"Even if I hadn't given you those sixty thousand points, I wouldn't waste my points recklessly."
Horikita Suzune snorted. She wasn't like some people in her class who had spent almost all their points in just a few days.
"Is that so? That's good."
Shikime Natsu nodded, admiring Horikita Suzune's ability to save money. She was a very frugal girl. If her personality were a little better, she'd be perfect.
"By the way, have you looked for your brother?"
Shikime Natsu suddenly remembered that Horikita Suzune and Horikita Manabu were family. So... would Horikita Manabu give his sister in Class D a little help?
"Why are you asking that?"
Horikita Suzune's voice rose slightly in pitch, something she probably didn't even notice herself.
"It seems you haven't. Never mind then, Horikita."
Shikime Natsu shook his head. Was the relationship between these siblings not good?
Or was it a one-sided problem?
After all, Horikita Suzune seemed to care a lot about her brother.
But during the opening ceremony, watching Horikita Manabu standing behind the podium, the two of them looked like they were cast from the same mold—incredibly cold.
The sister seemed a bit foolish, while the brother... was the most outstanding student council president in the school's history. However, Shikime Natsu had received an evaluation of 'the current student council president is not as good as you,' which proved he was stronger.
"What do you mean by that?"
Horikita Suzune's brow furrowed. What was this guy being so cryptic about? Suddenly asking a question and then ending it on his own. He was truly an unreasonable person!
