"That's right, it's that woman!"
Kushida Kikyou's violet-red eyes were filled with malice, her tone incredibly icy, as if she wanted to swallow Horikita Suzune whole.
However, this was only because Kushida Kikyou didn't know that this school could expel people. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as just silencing Horikita Suzune; she would definitely have Horikita Suzune thrown out of this school.
Of course, in Shikime Natsu's eyes, Horikita Suzune probably didn't know Kushida Kikyou at all. Whether on the bus or at the coffee shop in the afternoon, Horikita Suzune didn't seem to recognize Kushida Kikyou.
"She probably doesn't know you, right?"
"That girl and I went to the same school. She definitely knows about my dark past!"
Kushida Kikyou was quite certain. Of course, even if she didn't know, the mere fact that they went to the same middle school was enough for Kushida Kikyou to hold an extremely hostile attitude toward her.
So they were from the same middle school. No wonder their personalities are both so awful.
Shikime Natsu complained silently in his heart. Especially Kushida Kikyou, this girl's personality seemed even worse than Horikita Suzune's. He remembered the text under Kushida Kikyou's CG: a desire to hear secrets. Her desire to control the secrets of others' hearts was a bit too strong.
"Your middle school dark past? Tell me about it."
Yes, that's right. Shikime Natsu also had a strong curiosity about other people's dark pasts.
Hearing Shikime Natsu's words, Kushida Kikyou's expression changed. What did this guy mean? Did he really want to offend her completely?
It's called a dark past for a reason. How could she just talk about it casually?
But looking at Shikime Natsu's expression, if she didn't talk, he probably wouldn't help her, right? What a terrible guy!
But, never mind. This guy already knew about her other side, so it didn't matter if he knew more.
Kushida Kikyou had completely adopted a 'might as well give up' attitude.
In middle school, Kushida Kikyou also had an 'angelic friendliness,' yes, just like the image she presented to everyone now, and she was very popular.
Shikime Natsu couldn't help but nod repeatedly. That's right, at first, he had also thought Kushida Kikyou was an angel. It was only the CG that allowed Shikime Natsu to see things differently, to know that the beautiful girl before him was not as simple as she appeared on the surface.
Kushida Kikyou longed to be better than everyone else. When her abilities weren't enough, she began to turn to manipulating interpersonal relationships, accepting the secrets of all her classmates. These secrets had their good sides, and naturally, their bad sides as well.
Kushida Kikyou naturally needed an outlet to vent. Her method of venting was an anonymous blog, but it was discovered by her classmates, leading to a complete breakdown of relationships in the entire class.
Well... that was basically Kushida Kikyou's dark past. Shikime Natsu couldn't help but feel that this woman was truly terrifying.
"You've heard it all, are you satisfied now?"
Kushida Kikyou's tone was extremely nasty. How could reliving her own dark past be a happy experience?
"I've heard it all, but did you let others see it on purpose? Otherwise, why post it on a blog? Were you hoping someone would see it?"
Shikime Natsu nodded. He still couldn't understand Kushida Kikyou's actions. Choosing that method, wasn't she just hoping someone would find out?
Anonymous? When you're posting about your classmates, does being anonymous even matter?
Could it be... that Kushida Kikyou wasn't very bright?
"How could that be?!"
Hearing this, Kushida Kikyou was quite displeased.
"You can't even imagine what it feels like to constantly be a trash can for negative emotions, what it feels like to not have an outlet to vent!"
Shikime Natsu had indeed never experienced such a feeling. After all, Shikime Natsu had no desire to be the emotional trash can for his classmates.
"Then do you plan to recreate the middle school scene at this school?"
Shikime Natsu didn't say whether he understood or not. For Kushida Kikyou, that was meaningless; the current Kushida Kikyou was just venting her emotions.
"And then leave this school in disgrace?"
Shikime Natsu's words were like the tip of a knife stabbing into Kushida Kikyou's heart, making her extremely uncomfortable.
What do you mean it won't be discovered? Isn't it already known by an outsider like Shikime Natsu?
If there's a first time, there will be a second. Kushida Kikyou couldn't guarantee that someone else wouldn't discover her other side next time.
Interpersonal relationships are extremely complex. At the very least, Kushida Kikyou herself was prone to playing with fire.
"Enough talk, are you going to help me or not?!"
Kushida Kikyou glared viciously at Shikime Natsu.
"Are you sure Horikita knows about you?"
Shikime Natsu asked very casually.
"Of course!"
"I don't think she knows anything about you. That woman only cares about herself; she wouldn't even give you a second thought. If you do anything unnecessary, you might just arouse her suspicion."
This girl has completely lost her head. Unfortunately, the only ability Shikime Natsu possessed right now was 'Mind Interference,' which couldn't calm Kushida Kikyou down.
"So you're not willing to help me?"
Kushida Kikyou moved closer to Shikime Natsu, carrying a faint scent of shampoo. Although she looked fierce, her body was definitely soft, there was no doubt about that.
"Of course I'm willing, but... what price are you willing to pay? Working for me is just to keep me from telling your secret."
Shikime Natsu began his classic price-gouging routine. He was the one holding the leverage now. Plus, he now knew about Kushida Kikyou's past dark history, making it even more valuable.
"You bastard!"
Kushida Kikyou hadn't expected Shikime Natsu to be so shameless; she was about to explode with anger.
"It's late at night now. If you're too loud, you'll attract others. Are you okay with that?"
Shikime Natsu spoke without a care.
"What do you want?"
Kushida Kikyou glared fiercely at Shikime Natsu. If he wanted her body, Kushida Kikyou would absolutely not agree. A touch was one thing, but did he really want more?
"Hmm... let me think. How about you stop hiding your true self from now on?"
Shikime Natsu offered a rather reasonable suggestion.
"Are you an idiot?"
Kushida Kikyou couldn't hold it in anymore. The whole reason she did so much was to be popular and not expose her true self, right? What did he mean by telling her not to hide?
This guy really didn't want to negotiate a deal at all!
"That's a bit hurtful. I'm being quite serious. Isn't it tiring to live with a different face on?"
It must be difficult, otherwise Kushida Kikyou wouldn't have the need to vent her emotions.
"I'm finding that you don't understand a single word I'm saying!"
Kushida Kikyou clenched her fists. What on earth was this guy talking about?
"Personally, I prefer a person's true side."
Shikime Natsu looked at Kushida Kikyou and spoke very seriously.
Yes, if her true side was truly awful, he would correct it. After all, he just said he preferred a person's true side. If he didn't like it, he would just have to correct it.
