The two of them got on the train at the same time.
Natsuhiko had been on this train before.
Usually, it wasn't too crowded, and at this time of day, most of the students would be at club activities.
However.
Life is full of surprises.
Usually, the number of people on the train was just right, with seats about 80% full, and not even many people standing.
But now.
The number of people rushing on was a bit much.
All the seats were taken.
There were even a lot of people standing.
The train car suddenly became a bit crowded.
"Excuse me, someone's here!"
Mai spoke loudly.
Clearly, the people around her ignored her again, and her voice didn't reach where it needed to go.
Someone suddenly pushed past.
Mai could only move out of the way, feeling wronged!
Her special power being gone made her weak, helpless, and in need of help.
She was starting to regret it.
Nothing like this had ever happened before.
Her eyes began to shine.
She kept dodging the people coming and going. If anyone got too close, Natsuhiko had a good reason to think she might hit them with the bag with the bunny girl outfit in it.
That would be really bad.
Seeing Mai's troubled expression.
He decided to step in.
Although Mai looking helpless was also kind of cute.
Natsuhiko reached out.
And pulled Mai, who was still trying to figure things out, into his arms.
Then.
He made his way through the crowd.
Leading Mai to a corner.
The train then started to move with a clanging sound.
"Um, thank you, younger student!"
"It's okay, and to be honest, I'm getting a good deal out of this right now."
That's right.
Even though no one around could see her.
Mai, now in her school uniform, was in his arms. He was holding her soft hand with one hand, and holding onto the handrail with the other.
And Mai.
Was pressed right up against him.
But what Natsuhiko didn't expect was that instead of looking down on him or yelling at him for what he was doing.
Mai's face turned red when she heard what he said, and she even seemed a little flustered.
She looked up at him, trying to hide her shyness, almost glaring.
Just that action alone was very cute.
As they touched.
Certain areas started to feel a bit exciting.
Even the mood became strange.
He thought of the scenes that experienced people like to talk about.
Clearly.
Mai had noticed what was going on.
Then.
Natsuhiko felt his foot get stepped on.
Needless to say.
The one who did it was right in front of him.
The red on her face hadn't gone away at all.
But even so.
She still said angrily.
"Don't imagine anything weird!"
Getting stepped on before was just for show, and didn't really hurt.
But now her foot was clearly still on Natsuhiko's shoe.
This scene reminded him of something from his past.
"Can I kiss you while standing on your expensive shoes?"
Natsuhiko chuckled.
"The things I think about are a hundred times weirder than what you imagine, that bunny girl outfit is so sexy, it always makes me feel excited."
"Can you move away from me?"
Mai looked angry.
Natsuhiko looked around.
"If you don't mind being held like this by other people..."
Clearly, the number of people on the train changed Mai's mind.
"..."
"I feel like I'll get pregnant just from you looking at me, it's too uncomfortable."
"Actually, I also have the nicknames 'Night Emperor', 'Human Automatic Cannon', 'Can Make People Pregnant Just by Walking Down the Street'. Plus, I'm so amazing, maybe I'll get a special power that makes anyone pregnant I look at."
"I've already thought of names for our kids..."
Listening to Natsuhiko talk like this.
Mai couldn't think of anything to say back.
"I just saw a rumor about you."
Mai said as she took her phone out of her jacket pocket and opened a forum.
It was clearly an internal school forum.
"A popular, handsome guy with a goal of having a harem."
There was a nice picture of Natsuhiko on it.
The number of comments under the post kept growing rapidly.
"Judging by what you're doing, it seems like it's true."
"Originally, you were the best first-year at Shuchiin Academy?"
"Yes."
"Your goal is a harem where everyone is happy?"
"Yep!"
"Too much affection?"
"That's absolutely not true, it's devotion, devotion. Whoever said too much affection, I'm suing them for slander, I'm going to contact my team of lawyers..."
"I'm devoted to all the beautiful girls."
"..."
That's how he successfully changed the topic and got rid of the weird mood like sweeping.
Natsuhiko arrived at his destination after three stops.
Mai followed him off.
Things don't happen by chance like that. It seemed that today, Mai was going to follow him.
Luckily, no one else could see her right now.
"Is your house over here?"
"No, it's not!"
"Huh, then why did you come here?"
"Of course, it's to meet up with my harem group. Didn't you just see that?"
"Oh, haha, but isn't it a little weird to talk about pretty girls in front of me!"
Mai pouted.
Clearly, she didn't believe Natsuhiko.
Man, these days.
No one believes the truth anymore.
"It's true, Mai, you're all about the same when it comes to beauty."
"Tch~"
"The student council president is a beauty, the one in the picture with you is a beauty, I'm a pretty girl, but how could everyone around you be a beauty?"
Professional actors really do have a lot of confidence.
Natsuhiko didn't say anything.
The two of them started walking forward in silence.
Soon.
The store sign came into Natsuhiko's view.
Clearly, this coffee shop was in a great location. There were no buildings on either side, it had two floors, modern décor, and you could hear music coming from inside.
It seemed to be doing pretty well.
Thanks to good management and operations.
Over the years.
This café had started to franchise in various locations, bringing in a considerable amount of money for Natsuhiko.
That's right.
This café called "Leisure Time" was owned by Natsuhiko. Of course, he couldn't actually be involved in the day-to-day operations. He just hired managers to run the café.
Of course.
He personally set the overall direction and required that it be strictly followed.
If he had named the café "Rabbit House" or "Ama Usa An", he wondered if the bunny girl girl in front of him would have refused to go inside.
Thinking about it, it was a little regrettable.
"Hey, did you really make plans to get coffee with someone, younger student?"
"Of course!"
"Why would I lie to you?"
"...".
