    Chapter Index

    Takahashi Mito’s shocked little eyes continued to tremble, and after hesitating for a while, two words softly spat out of his mouth, “Really?”

    “Uh-huh!” Hayakawa unapologetically nodded heavily.

    “So we’ve always been on the same page, if you really like Natsuki, let’s have a fair fight!”

    After Takahashi Midu learned this truth, her head was a little numb and dizzy for a moment, her body couldn’t help but lean forward, but luckily she reacted and stood on one foot, “Eh ……”

    Her mind really associated her with going after Natsuki Aoi.

    I’m chasing him? After a boy?

    Her face grew redder and redder, and eventually she took a deep breath, too surprised to close her mouth, and cupped her hot cheeks in her hands, and fled straight for the road ahead.

    “Metro! Metro!”

    ……

    Half an hour ago.

    Natsuki Arai was packing her backpack when she received a text message.

    When I opened it, it was a text message from Hayakawa.

    Said he was asking to meet him on the rooftop of the school.

    Rooftop?

    In fact, he rarely met Hayakawa on the rooftop, choosing more often to be on the bench near the garden; what would Hayakawa be looking for from him at this time of day when he was home from school?

    Associated with the fact that today is a special day, Valentine’s Day, then does Hayakawa still have some words that he wants to say to himself in person?

    Thinking about this, Aoi Natsuki’s mood couldn’t help but get a little tense.

    After replying a received, he then let Yusuke go home first, looking at his mournful eyes, Aoi Natsuki had to compensate for the smile, coaxing and consoling him while sending him out of the school building’s entrance before he left with his head down.

    Hey ……

    Aoi Natsuki sighed as she looked at Yusuke’s back, it’s unfortunate to have a brother like me, should I say no, it’s really unfortunate.

    With that he tugged on the straps of his backpack and swung it over his shoulder, turning and heading up the stairs, all the way to the rooftop.

    At this time the sky began to cover the evening sun, light stained with red clouds accompanied by the wind, to the naked eye visible speed gradually away, ears can occasionally hear a few sparrows chirping, and then soon, spring is coming.

    Natsuki Arai stood on the rooftop and looked back and forth, not seeing any Hayakawa, then he circled around the small building in the stairwell, still nothing.

    At that moment, a thought crossed his mind, and his gaze moved upward to the top of the building; at the top, there was a small platform, but could Hayakawa possibly climb it?

    “Aoi.”

    A voice suddenly sounded from above.

    Aoi Natsuki raised an eyebrow lightly, and when she saw the person coming from above, her entire state of being loosened up.

    “Sakurajima ……”

    Standing on the small platform was none other than Apricot Sakurajima.

    At that moment she was leaning over, palms of her hands resting against her knees, looking up at him with a smile on her face.

    “Why are you here?”

    “I told you to come over, of course I’m right here.” After saying that, Sakurajima Apricot walked towards the escalator and took a step down, wearing a skirt she didn’t intentionally cover anything, which made Aoi Natsuki, who was at the bottom of the room, turn her head in a hurry not to look over to her side.

    “I’m sure it’s your prank, but why is it from Hayakawa’s cell phone? What are you up to again?”

    At the last twenty or thirty centimeters of height, Sakurajima Apricot leapt down and landed firmly.

    “Eh, don’t always think of me as having a heart, it’s just that Hayakawa left his cell phone in the classroom when he was walking too fast in the activity classroom… Arai-kun, why can’t you take a joke like that.”

    Walking up slowly, the magnetic voice came from far away, and only then did Natsuki Aoi look back.

    The brownish-brown pupils, which seemed to harbor some kind of mind inside, always looked like they were looking at something very interesting when they fell on him.

    “Looking for me to do something?” Aoi Natsuki was basically immune to her sight, and was well aware of her mentality of desperately wanting to know her secrets, saying more is more wrong, saying less is less wrong, and not saying anything is not wrong, and according to this theory, Aoi Natsuki had not exposed too much information so far.

    However, upon hearing that, Sakurajima Apricot looked surprised, her right fingertips covering her small cherry-red mouth.

    “It’s Valentine’s Day, can’t Aoi guess what I’m going to do next?”

    “Chocolate?”

    Sakurajima Apricot shrugged helplessly, followed by, “Aoi is so stupid, I was never able to understand the importance of chocolate in Valentine’s Day, in itself it’s just a holiday that has sprung up in foreign countries, than chocolate, I do prefer to receive some insect models or animal bones and other gifts.”

    “Well ……”

    Aoi then remembered that Sakurajima was different from all the other girls, her preferences and aesthetics were completely different, as before she had never treated herself as anything more than an experimental subject, had never treated herself as the opposite sex, not even as a human perspective, and that side of the story was particularly horrifying, so having to guess whether or not she’d be giving herself chocolates for Valentine’s Day was in itself a stupid thing to speculate on.

    She wouldn’t even think that chocolate would be anything that would make the person receiving it feel ecstatic; she didn’t like receiving it, and she liked giving it even less.

    “Well, I really didn’t think of that.” When Aoi Natsuki said that, she came into contact with the other party’s straight line of sight, and then she had to continue, “In the activity classroom, there were a few seconds at the end when I was curious about why you didn’t send me chocolates, it’s me that’s shallow, so if you want to laugh at me for anything, just go ahead and let me have it.”

    Thinking that the other person will definitely send them chocolates, when did they start becoming so shameless.

    Sakurajima Apricot’s smile grew, equally interested in Aoi, who answered honestly, and took another step forward.

    She always preferred to stay very close to him.

    Close enough to hear the snorts of both parties.

    “Ooooh, so Aoi’s looking forward to it.” Sakurajima playfully leaned her upper body forward, her tone playful.

    “It’s just inertia of thought.” Natsuki Arai lowered her eyebrows slightly, a hint of embarrassment rising in her heart.

    But who knew that in the next second, Sakurajima Apricot suddenly straightened up and said softly, “Then I can’t live up to your expectations.”

    Said right hand side kicked into the pocket of his skirt, fumbling for it while Aoi’s eyes looked over.

    “Where is it …… where is it ……”

    Sakurajima Apricot repeated the words.

    After seven or eight seconds had passed, the movement stopped, followed by a hard box of wrapped chocolates from the hem of her skirt, her right thumb gently caressing the surface before reaching out against Natsuki Aoi in front of her.

    It’s still true?

    Didn’t you just say you’re not interested in such things? Why are you giving it away now?

    “Didn’t you just ……” Aoi Natsuki’s words trailed off, her eyes going up and down between the chocolate and Sakurajima.

    Sakurajima Apricot flicked her lips and cocked her head slightly, “Because …… Aoi, you’re special in my heart.”

    Special ……

    Coming from Sakurajima’s mouth, Aoi Natsuki all of a sudden felt heavy and very weighty inside.

    Hands raised, solemnly accepting the chocolate.

    This is the third chocolate he’s received today.

    Take in the hand, the packaging is very beautiful, is a metal box, the center is separated by a layer of glass, the inside of the chocolate grains clearly, it looks like this box of chocolates is considered to be a very high-grade category.

    “Happy?”

    Sakurajima Apricot suddenly asked.

    “Well, there’s no reason not to be happy about it, after all, it’s a gift from you with care.”

    As soon as the words left her mouth, Sakurajima Apricot began to gently shake her head, extending her right index finger and wiggling it from side to side, “It’s not just that, Aoi… it’s more than just a gift…

    This.

    But it’s the real deal.

    hand-picked by me.

    Ben! Fate!

    Chocolate yo.”

    ……

    Half a quarter of an hour later.

    Aoi Natsuki is finally out of this atmosphere, just Sakurajima said the words are really too impactful, have been only heard on TV “life” two words, really in reality, but never heard any girl said, Sakurajima is the first, originally thought that it would be a very harsh and social death of the word, but really heard, the heart of the shock is far more than anything else. The shock is far greater than anything else, the kind of unguarded, very sudden …… sentence “Ben! Chocolate! Chocolate”, this is too lethal.

    Aoi Natsuki, who had regulated his emotions, was standing at the edge of the rooftop with Sakurajima and the two of them, looking at the sunset gradually dying and the weather getting colder and colder, Aoi took off his own jacket and draped it over Sakurajima.

    The warmth from the jacket reached Sakurajima, and the look she gave him revealed more and more concern.

    Never knowing what is shyness, like others always know avoidance and reserve, but in her eyes, there is always only the possessiveness that is about to call out, is this the strong desire that the system said before?

    Obviously there are so many boys at school, and why me?

    Obviously, he was just an ordinary first year high school student, no matter from the face value or specialties are not outstanding, like Sakurajima, before Hetty said that if she joined the idol circle, she would definitely be able to quickly shine and become hot, she has such a beautiful appearance, the whole person’s aura and the desire and “kill”, it is the current otaku most most favorite type of idol. She has such a beautiful look and her whole aura is so attractive and “killer”, which is exactly the type of idol that otaku like most.

    “Sakurajima why do you like me, I always thought you would just like the weird and wonderful things.”

    “Aren’t you rare enough, Aoi?”

    “I’m a normal person, and all those things you like are dead, I’m a real live person.”

    “Well ……,” Sakurajima Apricot replied after a moment’s thought, “couldn’t it just be that I’m interested in you? You seem to have a lot of secrets in you, but I don’t know any of them, and as time goes by, I’m getting more and more curious, and in order to research them, so I want to stay by your side all the time… what do you think about this reason?”

    “Sounds kind of creepy.”

    “Really? But it’s from my heart oh Aoi, you’re the first member of the opposite sex I’ve ever wanted to follow all the time, to study thoroughly, other members of the opposite sex are worthless in my eyes, and I enjoy seeing something special more than paying attention to them, the history passed down from that is all much more interesting than talking to them.”

    “So that means if I tell you the secret, you’ll find me just as worthless?”

    “Maybe~” Sakurajima Apricot’s eyes darted around and she pursed her lips in a smile that was so damn sweet, “Are you going to tell me the secret now?”

    Aoi Natsuki moved his eyes away, then said flatly, “I’m afraid this secret will remain rotten in my heart.”

    “Oh? Then, when you say that, can I take it to mean that you want me to be by your side so much that you don’t want me to leave?”

    “Not at all.” Aoi Natsuki replied with a straight face.

    “Aoi you’re saying the opposite again~” Sakurajima Apricot intimately pressed her body up, her head gently resting on his shoulder, “I don’t understand in my heart the purpose of what you did before, but I can clearly feel what you want to do now, Hayakawa’s side, if there’s anything you want to help, just tell me Just say it.”

    Aoi Natsuki felt surprised and turned her head to look at her, “What little scheme are you up to again?”

    “It’s not a little scheme, it’s just that I’m well aware of how important Hayakawa is to you, and how important you are in Hayakawa’s heart, and I’m just hoping that in your mind’s obedience, below Hayakawa, it’s just me.”

    Sakurajima Apricot’s voice slowly became softer as she said this, and it could be said that it very much poked Aoi’s heart.

    I’m not sure why she’s thinking that way.

    She seems to have had this in mind for a long time.

    Earlier, when he was in his own house, there was a mention of something like a harem group that was inexplicable.

    Am I, Aoi Natsuki, someone who would do such a thing?

    Long Sakura even chimed in at that time and said that Grandpa had three other wives in the rice country.

    Why do they all think like that?

    The more Aoi Natsuki thought about it, the redder she blushed, once that thought arose, as a male one would always think more, no! Aoi Natsuki! You can’t think about it! You can’t think about it!

    How could there be such a bizarre choice for a harem!

    Sakurajima Apricot sensed his strangeness and her eyes seemed to pierce through him in an instant, “You’re blushing, aren’t you?”

    “No, no! The cold wind blew it!”

    “Your heartbeat is also very fast, really …… Aoi you are not so serious boys well, it seems that I was not rummaging carefully enough before, in your room I did not rummage what small yellow …… “

    “And you went through my room!”

    “Well, Aoi, you’re really a devoted galgame player, say, how many of those routines have been cast on us? You’re really something bad~” Sakurajima Apricot kept flirting with him verbally.

    It was the first time Aoi Natsuki had been gagged to the point of being this dumbfounded, complete defeat, complete defeat in the truest sense of the word!

    All sorts of complex emotions pretense kneaded together, the whole person is as filling three or four bottles of Red Bull state.

    His head was lowered, and after a long moment, he slowly raised it, and all that came out of his mouth was a slightly shivering hot breath.

    “Go home, it’s getting late, and return the clothes to me tomorrow, that’s all.”

    Aoi Natsuki just wanted to bolt, and was blushing at Sakurajima Apricot’s comment.

    Sakurajima Apricot didn’t stop it, probably because she thought she had enough flirting for the day, and the other turned around and walked towards the stairwell without looking back until she disappeared, hmmm ……

    She rubbed her index finger with her left thumb.

    At the moment the sky was falling, the whole sky was covered by a beautiful evening sunset, the clouds that were just pale red became incredibly conspicuous, and the fusion of red and yellow colors was quite stunning.

    In fact, she wasn’t so completely subdued.

    A long exhale.

    If Aoi had paid a little more attention to her just now, he might have noticed that her heart was beating just as fast.

    Their moods are reciprocal.

    A little bit of floating red like the evening sunlight imprinted on her cheeks, Sakurajima Apricot’s mouth smiled softly, her hands followed by pulling Aoi’s jacket draped over herself.

    Sure enough ……

    What about making the right choice for yourself.
