Chapter 14: Make a Friend

“Thank you ……” Hayakawa Keiko thank you word has just been exported, turn around to see is a strange boy, and this boy’s looks are also particularly familiar, always feel where to meet.

Natsuki Arai braked her feet, “Is everything okay?”

“No, no ……”

Hayakawa Keiko lowered her head and her voice was as soft as a mosquito.

In the next instant, turn back and resume riding on.

Didn’t even think about interacting with him too much.

Not wanting to give up, Natsuki Arai rode along.

Coming to a flush position, he said, “If you’re not feeling well, it’s better to get out of the car and push it, or the car goes uphill in a slight S-shape, so that although the distance becomes longer, it will become easier for difficult slopes.”

“……” Keiko Hayakawa didn’t reply.

Keep working your way up the ride.

“I’m Natsuki Arai, what’s your name?” He made an effort to strike up a conversation.

Hearing this name, Hayakawa Keiko suddenly inclined her head with a surprised face and reconfirmed his looks, and sure enough ……

“Sorry!”

Her voice pitched an octave higher as she bowed slightly toward him and continued to ride hard upward.

Natsuki Aoi easily caught up, “You’ve heard of me haven’t you? School forums? Classmate rumors? Or have you seen me on campus?”

The current Aoi Natsuki was like a rogue who was pushing his luck, but in the face of the silent girl in front of him, it was probably for the best.

He did a keyword search on Keiko Hayakawa when he arrived, and the words displayed fit the grade of C and were easy to understand.

“Presence.”

Yes, what Keiko Hayakawa needed was presence, and perhaps she accompanied Midu Takahashi just to try to boost her presence, and while the results were mediocre, at least in Yusuke’s eyes, he remembered the girl.

Natsuki Aoi surveyed the girl in front of her.

Hair like a few days did not wash, oily, and slightly messy, like out of the school door before the head knocked on the table to sleep for a while pressed, on the body of the school uniform wrinkles a lot, like a very simple washing and drying and put on the body.

The geek girl vibe is very heavy.

In his previous life, Natsuki Aoi was a college student with self-ideal, who was taken by his classmates to play games for a summer in high school, and actually experienced what it was like to be an otaku.

Geeking out doesn’t mean laying flat, it just means maximizing entertainment on your own time to the fullest, that’s all.

“Talk to me okay?” He asked the question again.

And this time Hayakawa Keiko finally stopped the car as well, but still with her head down, she turned around, “On, there’s a picture of you on the forum ……”

The sound is rather juvenile, probably due to the small capacity itself.

“I remember you, you’re in the senior class, can you tell me your name?”

Natsuki Aoi looked at her with a sincere face, he just wanted to hand over his current attention to her.

“Hayakawa …… Keiko.”

Her cheeks slowly flushed even as she spoke the name, and she seemed a little embarrassed to pronounce it.

“Nice name, nice to meet you.” Natsuki Aoi smiled slightly.

Hayakawa Keiko pursed her lips, her entire lips turning white from nervousness, “Can you not make jokes about me …… I know I’m a common name.”

“Ordinary does not mean that it is not good to hear, now is not a lot of dramas are starting to go retro style, more than ten years ago, many actors and photo model’s real name is called Keiko, this is not the sense of the times to come, at least now in the people I know, the name of the Keiko’s only one of you.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, the Hayakawa Keiko in front of her was obviously a bit moved.

Although he was still very formal in raising his hands and feet, he had already received the system tone of rising favorability.

The negatives themselves are not that high, and the C level is much easier than the other levels.

But Natsuki Aoi was still serious.

At least the eyes were always on the other woman, listening attentively to every word she said.

This was reality, and the girl in front of him was a living, breathing human being, and he couldn’t look at this as a total game; he needed to give the other person respect as well as sincerity.

“Aoi …… Natsuki?” She pronounced his name with confirmation.

Aoi Natsuko immediately answered, “Yes.”

“So is there something you wanted to see me about ……”

“Just wanted to get acquainted with you.”

“Uh, so …… why me?”

Aoi Natsuki saw the pair of turquoise pupils through the gap in his hair, and it was the first time he had seen such a beautiful pupil color.

A little lost in thought for a moment, but quickly responded, “Because ……”

He needed to think of a reason.

His eyes began to dart from side to side without stopping, looking for more details on her.

Minimalist dressing.

Worn sneakers.

Outside-out socks.

Please!

Can you come to the point!

His eyes shifted upwards, and then a doll figurine charm appeared in his eyes.

That’s ……

“Because, I also like to watch fanfics, especially the likes of ‘Dried Girl Kobayashi’ as well as ‘Tamako Market’, and I think that I can have good common ground with you, Hayakawa-san.”

Hanging around her waist was none other than the mascot doll from the dried girl, Kobayashi.

Natsuki Aoi recognized it right away.

“Favorability +3”

It was like making a choice, and right now his choice was undoubtedly the right one!

“Really, really! I’m super, super, super in love with Kotobuki!” Hayakawa Keiko’s speed of speech gradually increased.

At the same time good feeling boost tones began to sound one after another.

It seemed like finding the path to success.

This is the topic that Keiko Hayakawa cares about the most.

“Let’s walk and talk then, is this the right direction?” Aoi Natsuki pointed ahead.

Hayakawa Keiko also nodded immediately, her state already very different from just now.

The two then carted forward together and began an open conversation about their preferences.

……

Really thanks to the accumulation of previous fanfics, Natsuki Arai is clearly able to answer the question.

Hayakawa Keiko also opened up as if she had opened her heart, and talked and laughed with him the whole time, finally coming to an intersection where the storage in his brain was about to be depleted.

“I’m sorry, did I talk too much? Are you intimidated by me?”

Realizing this, Hayakawa Keiko returned to her initial timid state in an instant.

“Nah, it was fun talking to you, I was just wondering how I should ask for your contact information.” Natsuki Aoi said with a snicker.

Keiko Hayakawa froze, this was the first time since high school that a boy had taken the initiative to ask for her contact information, her head bowed even lower, her back, which had only just straightened out a little bit, curved again, and her whole body looked especially nervous.

Natsuki Aoi looked at her.

He did want her to be more confident, disheveled looks were lame anyways, right?

“Like me, even though I’m isolated in school, and I’m being called all kinds of names on the internet, I don’t even care about it in the slightest, because I’m sure that sooner or later, people will show up who care about my feelings, and when that time comes, it’s just a matter of caring about those who care about you, and ignoring the ones who resent you, and that way you can go on with your life… Hayakawa-san, maybe… . we really should be friends.”
