The young girl was wearing pajamas, lying on her bed in the dormitory. Since the viewer of the photo was Shikime Natsu, the young girl had never bothered to conceal the background or anything of the sort.
Perhaps because she had just finished taking a shower, the young girl's skin in the photo looked so tender it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it. White and creamy as snow—just looking at this photo was enough to whet one's appetite.
The young girl's figure was quite impressive, especially those undulations, and the cleavage that induced daydreams was faintly visible beneath the loose pajamas.
Coupled with the slightly shy expression on the young girl's face... well, this composition was truly quite excellent.
"No, I'm also very happy to be able to help Shizuku-chan. Shizuku-chan's photography skills have improved a lot."
Shikime Natsu replied, giving the young girl high affirmation. Thanks for the treat.
"Can I still show you my photos in the future, just like before?"
Sakura Airi asked, the cold text in the chat box unable to fully convey the longing within the young girl's heart.
A whole semester without contacting Shikime Natsu—would he be angry? After all, she had left without saying goodbye.
The young girl's thoughts were somewhat complex, but... during those days, she had also been working hard. She was striving to change herself, wanting to give Shikime Natsu a surprise.
She wanted to tell him that it was because of him that she had changed, even if just a little.
"Of course you can."
Shikime Natsu was naturally very willing. What could be unsatisfactory about having a beautiful girl send him photos of herself in cosplay every day?
"That's great!"
Sakura Airi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Goodnight, see you tomorrow."
Being in the same class as Shikime Natsu was something the young girl had only thought about in dreams. However, the Shikime Natsu in her dreams had a blurry face and figure, but... he was very warm, making one feel at ease. Just like a sunflower, he made Sakura Airi think of sunshine, which was very comfortable.
It was just a pity... Shikime Natsu would only stay in Class D for a week. Today had already passed, which meant there were only four days left. It was truly a pity.
Although they were still in the same school, for the young girl, the distance of a desk mate was the best. Being in the same school was still too far away.
If only Shikime Natsu could be her desk mate forever.
Kamuro Masumi: ???
Shikime Natsu also replied with a "see you tomorrow" to Sakura Airi and went directly to sleep. He fell asleep in one second; his sleep quality was quite good.
*
The next day, Class D. Shikime Natsu arrived at the classroom relatively early. Today, he didn't need to go to the faculty office first like yesterday, which was not bad.
"Yo, Kikyou, here so early?"
He had originally thought he would be the first person, but he didn't expect Kushida Kikyou to be earlier than him. Moreover, looking at Kushida Kikyou's appearance, it seemed she had already been here for at least a while.
"Natsu, good morning!"
Kushida Kikyou smiled energetically at Shikime Natsu.
"Good morning. Kikyou is quite diligent."
Shikime Natsu noticed the textbook on Kushida Kikyou's desk. This guy coming over so early to study—it was to display her own excellence, right?
After all, as a little angel, having excellent grades and such was naturally normal. Kushida Kikyou likely wanted to give people that kind of impression.
To be honest, if Kushida Kikyou's own grades were good, then it would be fine. But if her grades were relatively average, then it would be very tiring.
Furthermore... if she failed to meet expectations, her emotions would be even more repressed. When that time came, it would truly be hard on the railings.
"It's fine, really. I also want to study hard so that I can help the classmates in the class."
Kushida Kikyou continued to reveal an angel-like cute smile. These words also sounded quite sincere.
"The quiz is next week. Aren't you nervous, Natsu? I'm very nervous. After all, it's the first exam since school started, so I have to perform well."
If she had a goal, it should be to display excellent grades on the quiz and make the surrounding classmates look at her with new respect, right?
This kind of vanity was truly cute. Even with her little angel side, she enjoyed this feeling of being pursued by others.
"Then you should do your best."
Shikime Natsu waved his hand, then returned to his own seat.
As time passed minute by minute, the number of students in the class gradually began to increase. Most students had basically arrived. Even the Yamauchi Haruki trio had arrived, yet Sakura Airi still hadn't?
Could it be that because he acknowledged her yesterday, she was too excited and didn't sleep all night, only falling asleep in the early morning so the alarm couldn't wake her?
"Heh heh, don't look at me like this, I'm actually quite popular too!"
Yamauchi Haruki crossed his arms, bragging to the people around him with a face full of smiles. Shikime Natsu clearly hadn't intended to listen to Yamauchi Haruki's words, but this guy spoke completely without regard for the other classmates in the class. No, it should be said that his goal was to make the entire class hear what he was saying.
In a sense, Yamauchi Haruki's vanity was also very strong. But if one were to compare Yamauchi Haruki and Kushida Kikyou together, it would be far too pitiful for Kushida Kikyou.
"Haha, Haruki, you guy are bragging again. Have you forgotten the miserable state you were in yesterday?"
Ike Kanji mercilessly mocked his good friend. After all, during class time yesterday, Yamauchi Haruki had wanted to strike up conversations with girls, but not a single girl in the class was willing to pay attention to him.
Even Maehara An felt that Yamauchi Haruki was a fool.
"Haha, you just don't understand, do you? Actually, they were in cahoots. Because Sakura plans to confess to me, they weren't willing to get too close to me. You know how it is—with Sakura's personality, if too many girls got close to me, maybe she wouldn't confess to me. After all, if I'm so popular, she would also feel a lot of pressure."
"Real or fake?"
"Of course it's real. Just last night, Sakura even confessed to me!"
Yamauchi Haruki patted his chest, as if proving something.
This guy's lying was simply too unreliable. His mouth was full of lies. Shikime Natsu frowned, planning to interrupt Yamauchi Haruki insulting Sakura Airi. After all, fabricating something like Sakura Airi confessing to someone like Yamauchi Haruki was the greatest insult to Sakura Airi.
"Who would confess to an idiot like you?"
Just at this moment, a figure walked in. Clearly, she had also heard Yamauchi Haruki's statement. That exquisite face was filled with disdain and disgust.
And when this figure walked in, everyone in Class D fell into silence. Who was this person?
When Sakura Airi walked to her own seat, the crowd finally recognized her—this beautiful girl was actually the Class D's quite inconspicuous Sakura Airi?
Real or fake?
Moreover, during the first week, the feeling Sakura Airi gave people was that she was inconspicuous, and her personality was relatively weak and cowardly. But... what did she just say?
She directly cursed Yamauchi Haruki as an idiot?
