Chapter 17: The scene of the death of the Great Society

“Aoi, have you ever heard of the name Natsuki ……,” Hayakawa Keiko asked slowly.

The boy’s name, which should have been forgotten from Takahashi Midu’s mind, surfaced again at that moment, and with slight surprise, she looked back, “Aoi Natsuki?”

“Well, have you heard that name too, Meto?”

“Well ……” Takahashi Mito didn’t really want to tell what happened before, so she could only tell a small lie, “I also saw it in the forum, after all, it’s all so famous, Hayakawa how do you know that guy? “

“Eh …… just, it’s just chance.” Keiko Hayakawa said with a bit of a squirm.

“Don’t you find that guy annoying?” Takahashi Mito asked the crux of the matter.

Keiko Hayakawa tilted her head as she thought back, “Actually, I felt that way at first, but then after talking a few times, I realized that he’s actually a pretty nice guy, nothing like what he said on the forums.”

“Talked a couple times? Do you and him still talk together exclusively?” Takahashi Mami was all shocked.

Hayakawa Keiko’s face quickly reddened upon hearing this, her shoulders narrowed and she took a step forward to pull on the material of Metu’s shoulders, “Metu, don’t say it so loudly ……”

“Oh, so, that means you became friends with that Aoi Natsuki?”

“Well …… it sort of looks that way now.”

Takahashi Mito looked at her with a tense face, and from that he had an additional reverie in his heart.

“Whatever, just do what you want and ask me why.”

Keiko Hayakawa froze, followed closely by maintaining her smile, “That’s true ……”

“But ……” Takahashi Midu’s fingers tapped the screen of his cell phone regularly, “he …… was supposed to be your second high school friend right?”

“Yes! Yes! But Metro you’ll always be my number one friend in line!”

“Ahhhhh! What nonsense are you talking about!” Takahashi Midu hurriedly looked around and was relieved to see that no one was casting their eyes over, and looking at Hayakawa Keiko, who had her fists clenched in front of her with a look of conviction, she also immediately threw an annoyed glance at her.

Keiko Hayakawa knew Meto well, even better than she herself, who often contradicted herself.

She knew that Metu’s true character wasn’t bad, and that’s why she’d tried to be friends with him over and over again.

Keiko Hayakawa spat out the tip of her tongue, bought a moe, and said no more.

Instead, Takahashi Midu had a mix of two emotions in her mind.

“Metu, why don’t I treat you to lunch today? Consider it my amends.”

“No, it’s better for me to treat you to lunch today.” Seeing that she still wanted to say something, Takahashi Midu immediately raised his hand to stop her, “You stop talking, it’s settled.”

Seeing this, Keiko Hayakawa traced a finger from the left side of her own lips to the right side in a zipper motion, making her just a little more playful than usual in front of Metu.

“And ……”

Takahashi Midu’s eyes fluttered from side to side, and after several seconds, she slowly said:

“Congratulations ……”

……

“Natsuki, there’s a letter sitting on the doorstep oh with your name on it.”

Yusuke walked in from the back of the classroom holding a pink letter.

Natsuki Arai saw the wrapping of the letterhead as she twisted her head, and the first thing she knew was who it was from.

Sakurajima Apricot.

The girl with the super creepy personality plus behavior.

It was only now that he finally realized where the eye-catching pink letters that had been sitting in his shoe closet before had come from; all of them were written to him by Sakurajima Apricot.

He unwrapped it and read the contents.

As expected, the other party was sincerely inviting himself to be a part of the Exploration Society.

There is about this society, he also on the forum to understand, almost all are some of the exploration of paranormal phenomena, without any scientific basis of nonsense.

But you couldn’t say that, after all, you had experienced the Crossing Plus System Plus only a short while ago, and normal science seemed to have a hard time trying to explain it all.

He folded the letterhead and put it in a drawer.

Sakurajima Apricot as the best Raider choice object with good sense maintained at -1, he naturally wouldn’t give up so easily, but currently he still wished to take one thing at a time, so he hadn’t taken the initiative to look for Sakurajima Apricot in the past few days, and instead the other party had sent him letters three times in a row.

He recognized a dead truth now.

As long as the favorability isn’t up, anything you do is a sham.

The time soon came for school to end again, and it was time to set up a meeting with Keiko Hayakawa.

Having been on the internet before, this was the first time the two had ever asked to meet alone.

To prevent embarrassment, the two agreed to meet at an intersection five hundred meters away from the school.

When Aoi Natsuki arrived, he already saw Hayakawa Keiko standing at the traffic light looking left and right, and the first moment he saw him, he should have shown a more cheerful wave of greeting, but when he really saw him in person, he panicked all of a sudden, and just lightly raised his right hand and waved it slightly.

He jogged over to him, a smile on his face as well, “Sorry for the wait.”

“No, no …… I just got here too.”

Keiko Hayakawa lowered her head.

As usual.

Aoi Natsuki saw the lychee-patterned hairpin on her head again and continued, “No need to be so formal, adjust your breathing.”

“Hmmm ……” Keiko Hayakawa’s heart was beating fast, and then she began to open her mouth and take a few deep breaths, which slowly became less tense down the line.

“Let’s go then, which barbershop is it?”

“I, I have a map record in my phone, let me see anon, yes it’s this way, there’s a station a hundred meters in front of us, let’s take ……”

Hayakawa Keiko really did go through the itinerary with him in one piece.

Aoi Natsuki thought this girl was too interesting.

The favorability level is rising again.

It’s already broken 20 points.

The two of them then took the bus, and after about fifteen minutes, they got off at a shopping street, surrounded by people, with Keiko Hayakawa leading the way, occasionally someone would turn their gaze toward them, and she would lower her head and purse her lips and pace her feet a little faster.

But what she didn’t know was that most of those people were looking at Natsuki Aoi behind her.

There’s no way around it, who made him a hated presence by the entire female population.

The two ended up walking into an atmospherically decorated barbershop, where Keiko Hayakawa had made an appointment as early as yesterday, and after chatting with a barber named Tony, she finally confirmed her previously chosen plan.

Aoi Natsuki was sitting in the rest area next to her, watching her in the mirror as Tony slowly lifted her bangs, a few pimples appearing abruptly on her forehead, and all of a sudden Hayakawa Keiko’s face became red, and even more so when viewed in the mirror.

Hayakawa Keiko’s flustered little eyes also met Aoi Natsuki’s line of sight through the mirror, and immediately brushed it away in the next second, her flush reddening all the way to her ears.

This is really too social death ……
