Chapter 133 – The Second Heartbeat

Upon hearing this, Aoi Natsuki’s entire mental state slowly went from tight to relaxed, and she gently nodded her head, “Hmmm ……”

With that, he stood under the skylight and chatted aimlessly with Dragon Sakura.

Natsuki Aoi looked at her right ankle, which had its cast removed, “Is your foot fully healed now?”

“Well, running and jumping is no problem.” Dragon Sakura’s voice came from above.

Between actions, a little bit of wood chips interspersed with dust cleared off the top.

Aoi Natsuki hurriedly took two steps back.

“Be careful.” Dragon Sakura said as she saw the probe come down.

“It’s fine.” Aoi Natsuki fanned the dust in the air and turned to say, “I remember meeting your friend before, I think he said that you had a subsequent competition, now that your injuries have healed, is it still possible to continue to participate?”

“You mean that one… I’m afraid I can’t do that then, the only thing that’s been reported is Blade, and I’m not going to participate in this session.”

“Pity? That …… should be a very important game for you, right?”

Aoi Natsuki couldn’t appreciate the true importance of this, but just tried to understand that if one’s heart should be very unhappy if one’s long-prepared piece of business was called off.

“Unfortunately …… it doesn’t seem to count.” The sound of Dragon Sakura tapping on the window frame came to an abrupt halt, sitting on the edge she pondered for two seconds, a faint smile hanging at the corners of her mouth, “One must always suffer the consequences of one’s actions, and I’ve never regretted such a decision.”

Hearing this, Aoi Natsuki couldn’t reply for a moment, but just quietly tilted her head and looked at the girl sitting at the edge of the skylight and the rays of sunlight that shone in from all around her.

“Why don’t you come up and sit down? The view from the roof is unexpectedly quite nice.”

“Uh, yeah.”

The position of the skylight is probably at a height of two meters, Ryuzura slightly reach out and pull a hand, Aoi Natsuki can easily come up, sitting on the opposite edge, looking at the surroundings really different from the crowd.

There is only a bare antenna on the roof of my house, everything seems to have lost its color on the streets in winter, the wires on the tops of the poles are intertwined, and the whole sky is covered with foggy thin clouds that obscure the original blue color.

“Well?” Dragon Sakura asked with a smile.

“Well, it sure is nice.”

“Go out more once in a while, always staying at home, but you can’t make too good a design.” Dragon Sakura teased.

Aoi Natsuki shrugged, quite helpless, “The nature of an otaku is that he likes to stay at home, although it’s a bit difficult to say, but the sense of calmness that comes with staying at home, I’m afraid it’s very difficult for you to understand.”

“Yeah, but I’m sure I could influence you if we saw each other more often.” Dragon Sakura looked straight at him.

Since the last fire, Long Cherry cut her long hair into short hair, tall plus wheat-colored skin texture added, the whole person looks valiant, every time she smiles, it reveals endless confidence.

Natsuki Aoi froze slightly.

Thinking back so far, he had also rejected Ryuusakura’s confession twice, but she had never shown any sense of detachment from him, and even from the time they had met in the morning until now, the awkwardness had always been only for him.

Is it the elusive psyche?

No, on the contrary.

Ryuusakura’s psyche is pure & straightforward, it’s just an unwavering fondness for him.

The emotion of liking someone’s psyche for the first time is incredibly strong and long-lasting.

Why would a girl who is obviously so brilliant look at herself ……

“I’ll pull out the nails here again, and this old window frame will come down, so move aside a little.” Dragon Sakura signaled Natsuki to move to the right side, he did as he was told, and then he pressed the crozier against the nails, and slowly pulled them out with dexterity, and just as the last nail came off, the whole old window frame followed and shook violently, and then fell to the ground.

But at the same time, Long Sakura failed to sit still, and then her entire body followed and fell to the side.

Because the roof presented an inclined downward slope except for the edges, which were almost only ten centimeters of flat concrete, Ryuusakura’s body instantly slid down with it.

Long Cherry is practicing martial arts family, in the face of such a situation is not panic, they only need to adjust their position, and then use the fastest speed pickpocket edge on the line.

It was a breeze for her.

Just as she was about to do so, an anxious voice suddenly rang in her ears, yelling her name.

In the next second, Natsuki did not care about his own danger, the whole person jumped up, grabbed her arm, his knees hit the edge of the whole thing also did not pay attention at all, after smoothing out the point of force, then pulled her back with force.

Dragon Sakura’s eyes revealed a shocked color, in fact, at this time her feet could already stomp up the slope of the roof, but Natsuki still chose to lend her a helping hand at the moment of crisis.

Dragon Sakura quickly returned to the edge and sat down, Aoi Natsuki once again adjusted his sitting position, only this time, the distance between the two people sitting was obviously pulled in, a four-square border, originally the two people were sitting face to face, but at this time, Dragon Sakura had already come to the position on his right side.

“It’s too dangerous …… to fall from such a height ……” Aoi Natsuki let out a long sigh of relief.

He closed his eyes, and it was at this moment that he suddenly felt someone come in his arms, and he snapped his eyes open, only to see Long Sakura burrowing right into his arms and snuggling into his chest like a little woman.

“Natsuki …… you saved me once again then.”

The gentle voice drilled into Aoi Natsuki’s ears, crunchy, and for a moment, he couldn’t tell whether it was her voice or the gusts of cold wind blowing around him that caused his goosebumps.

The feeling of being six-foot-two leaning on a boy’s arms was particularly amazing.

Natsuki Aoi couldn’t describe the feelings at this moment.

All he could smell was the faint odor and the other man’s moist, arched hips when his gaze shifted slightly.

Ahhhhh ……

Aoi Natsuki was a male, after all, and it was hard to resist such an attack, his body’s instinctive temperature rising as he reached up to fan his cheeks and clear his throat, reaching out with the index fingers of both hands and slowly pushing them against Ryuusakura’s body.

As the two separated, that body odor of Long Cherry’s body became more pronounced due to the temperature of the mingling between the two.

It was a scent of an unknown flower.

“That, that must be saved… Sang, I’m sure whoever it is will come to the rescue.” Aoi Natsuki averted her eyes.

“So then you are a blessing to me.” Dragon Sakura lifted her eyes and shifted her gaze upward.

Girls in this perspective are equally against the rules!

“……”

“Your leg!” Dragon Sakura noticed the knee portion of his abraded pants, which had a distinctly bruised and reddish patch in it.

“It’s okay! It’s normal for boys to have bumps and bruises.”

Aoi Natsuki didn’t think so, and it wouldn’t feel much pain if she didn’t touch it anyway.

“Well …… Natsuki has always been able to bring me a sense of security at times.” The corners of Ryuusakura’s mouth turned up, then he raised his hand and rubbed his head with a smile.

Only Ryuusakura would make such a move on him.

Natsuki Arai sort of got a taste of the power of a touchdown, and then found an excuse to go down to the room first.

Pick up the old window frame on the floor and ask what needs to be done next.

“I’ll send a friend over for new window frames and just install them in a few minutes.”

“That’s not good, how can I let you a come to help break the bank, how much will it be in a few minutes, I’ll transfer it to you directly.”

“It doesn’t matter, the relationship is all so familiar, there’s no need to give it.” Dragon Sakura once again voiced out to call out to Natsuki who was about to leave.

“This ……”

“If you really feel that there is something wrong, then …… today at noon, let’s stay at home and have a meal.” Long Sakura made a reasonable request.

There was undoubtedly a deeper meaning to those words, Ryuusakura was always so passionate and direct, a diametrically opposite character to Hayakawa, and it was that passion that had made Aoi Natsuki feel somewhat drawn to her in the first place.

Even now ……

Aoi Natsuki’s heartbeat gradually accelerated as she listened to this.

Unlike the mood when he was molested by Sakurajima Apricot, this emotion is significantly stronger ……

Seven or eight long seconds of silence.

Ryuusakura leaned down to look through the skylight at that moment, gazing at him sideways, “May I? Natsuki.”

“Well ……”

Aoi Natsuki, on this day, felt that complexity all over again, until he walked to the first floor, he didn’t know when he went downstairs, and his consciousness came back to him, he was already on the first floor.

One’s self is actually ……

After that Yugiri Ryuusakura and the others had lunch at Aoi’s house, and the mood hadn’t subsided until after the meal, the burning between their breaths instead heating up more and more as time went on.

It’s been an odd day.

……

School is back in session.

Returning to campus, Natsuki Aoi once again felt that familiar sense of ostracism, going to the restroom once again became the object of girls’ wary stares, and walking to various places was met with anonymous postings on the school’s forums that maligned her, as well as a lot of unwarranted speculation.

After a period of silence after the campus forum, but instead the intensity than before a lot more than before, may be the New Year cozy life enjoyment is over, once the school, you need to find an outlet, a good vent.

Then Natsuki Aoi was the target.

Luckily, Aoi had a bigger heart and fought off the malice, and was still able to live his idle campus life at a leisurely pace.

Someday.

Carrying a black backpack, he walked into the classroom through the back door, and at the first moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of dissonance, a feeling that ……

With such doubts, Aoi Natsuki returned to her seat, while Yusuke in the front seat had a listless look on his face, his head knocking on the desktop as if he had received a big blow.

Aoi Natsuki pulled out her morning study books, then noticing Yusuke’s strangeness, she reached out and nudged him in the back, “What happened? Didn’t sleep well last night?”

Rub–

Yusuke Oki jerked up and then turned around, his eyes full of aggravation.

“What the hell is going on at ……?”

“Oooooh, I’m breaking up.”

“Huh?” This is a very unexpected news, Aoi Natsuki slightly state a bit more serious, and asked, “Shouldn’t a New Year’s Eve be a time for the relationship to warm up again? How come they broke up, what was the reason?”

“Just, just ……” Yusuke’s face held a gradual reddening as he remembered that, looking angry again, “It was just the other day …… “

Yusuke narrowed his eyes.

“She was badmouthing you around me at that time and I corrected her that you were my brother, but she continued to badmouth you with her friends, and I got so mad that I got into a huge fight with her, and then we broke up.”

“Ah …… so it is.”

“Oooooh, yeah.”

“I told you a long time ago, don’t tell onlookers that you and I are friends, it’ll have a big effect on you.” Aoi Natsuki frowned slightly and sighed.

“How can that be, a brother is a brother!” Yusuke reddened his eyes and suddenly clenched his fists.

Brotherly love Aoi Natsuki really feel, but in front of him was hurt so badly by the feelings, Aoi really think that even if he was scolded twice, it’s not a big deal, anyway, the whole school scolded him not a few people.

“Good brother.” Aoi Natsuki had nothing else to say outside of an upward pat on his shoulder and a sentimental remark.

“And it’s such a special day, ooohhhh, just thinking about it makes it even harder.”

“What day?”

“It’s Valentine’s Day! Aren’t you going out to see it?”

“Huh?” Aoi Natsuki was surprised, pulling out his cell phone to see that it really was February 14th, this holiday was quite a special holiday, no wonder when he came here today he felt something strange somewhere, now he finally realized that it was the sour and stinky love scent between a man and a woman.

Wait, if it’s Valentine’s Day, wouldn’t one get chocolates too?

Thinking about Hayakawa’s personality, she probably prepared the chocolates early, right? There’s also the possibility of specializing in preparing it two days in advance, and given how serious she is, it’s quite possible that she might have made it herself.

And Sakurajima, she will definitely send it, but …… it is not known whether it is poisonous or not, and whether it has any side effects.

As for ……

Aoi Natsuki associates away.

After what happened last time, one’s relationship with Takahashi is completely frosty, so one should, odds are, not send oneself chocolates, right?

“Just how many chocolates will you receive ……”

Aoi Natsuki instinctively blurted out.

Yusuke heard this instantly, surprise covering his face, and Aoi looked back, slightly flustered.

“No, Yusuke, that’s not what I just said.”

“You! You!” Yusuke pointed at him with a look of disbelief, almost forgetting how many beautiful girls surrounded the man in front of him!

Turns out you’re the clown?

Aoi Natsuki smiled sheepishly and pressed her hands down, her voice slowly weakening, “Take it easy, take it easy.”

But at this time, envy mixed with aggrieved thoughts have already surged to Yusuke’s heart, really did not hold back, wow on Aoi’s desktop to cry.

“Yusuke, I really didn’t mean it!”

“Wooooooo!”

“Will you stop crying? So many people are watching.”

“Wooooooo!”

……

And the other side.

In the classroom of Senior 1.

Takahashi Mito, who has lost some weight, is visibly refreshed, and her well-groomed makeup has garnered rave reviews from a host of boys. She even opens her shoe locker when she comes to school in the morning, and in addition to love letters, there are several bags tied with sticky tape, which she unwraps to reveal that they are all chocolates, but she doesn’t take it for granted, and, like Aoi, skillfully takes them over the trash cans every day.

Only what Aoi did every day was to throw away the challenge letters and letters with abusive words in the shoebox, while Takahashi threw away all the love letters as well as the gifts, there was no such thing as a thought or not, she didn’t care at all about their moods and feelings.

Available today ……

Takahashi Midu was completely unable to focus at this point, her eyes frequently looking inside the table, where a pink cloth bag could be seen faintly in the shadows.

It’s the chocolate she snuck into the store near her home yesterday.

Aoi’s figure flashed frequently in his mind, and his tongue licked his lips as he thought inwardly.

So far she is still very resistant to boys, but only Aoi, she wants to be close to him ……

His left hand reached into the drawer, holding the cloth bag, his body slightly bent.

Do you really want to give this chocolate yourself?

Friendly Chocolate or Say ……
