Chapter 25 – Unbridgeable Distance

“Huh? Oh.” Aoi Natsuki’s reaction was fast, immediately took out his cell phone, mainly because he was also afraid that the other party would suddenly regret it, if he had the other party’s contact information, at least a lot of things wouldn’t have to be too troublesome.

Takahashi Mito took his cell phone and also noticed the rabbit pendant underneath it; flip phones were still more popular in Japan, so models that used the pendant were still quite common.

“A big boy with such a cute pendant?”

“It’s what Rina chose for me in the first place, in a nutshell.” Aoi Natsuki smiled awkwardly.

Takahashi Mito recorded his number, and also made an appointment with him to follow up on the adoption of Yoshizou, and it was still a good day’s conversation.

“Oh yeah, there’s one more thing.” Takahashi Midu’s expression suddenly became tense, and after some thought, she asked, “Did something happen between you and Hayakawa? I haven’t seen her in a very good mood lately.”

This ……

Aoi Natsuki knew that it would be such a result, Hayakawa naturally will not say her heart out, she is such a character of the girl, always hold it in the heart, in the end, but in the end, it is more and more depressed the more they think about it.

“Just …… a little something.”

He was still thinking of stonewalling.

Takahashi Mito frowned and pointed at his nose, his tone instantly shifting a hundred and eighty degrees, “Hayakawa is my best friend, and I won’t allow her to be upset because of anyone.”

“I know, I know, of course I know.” Natsuki Aoi pushed her hands forward, signaling her not to be angry.

“Not much more to say! Go away! Some other time.”

Takahashi Midu ruffled her right hand through her beautiful purple hair, while still carrying a faint scent of jasmine, and left the rooftop around Aoi Natsuki.

……

After getting permission from Takahashi Mito, Aoi Natsuki also checked in with the people at that pet hospital via text message, and was almost ready to take it home in two more days.

If it’s a domesticated dog, there’s a host of other things to acquire, as well as a dog license.

For this reason, Aoi Natsuki was searching the internet to get some details.

Occasionally, he would notice the favor values of a few girls in the system panel and fall into a moment of contemplation.

He always wondered what the Divine Maiden meant by the current round that came out of her mouth then.

“What are you gawking at, Arai-san?”

A face appeared suddenly in front of him.

Natsuki Arai nearly fell out of her seat and fixed her eyes on Apricot Sakurajima.

Everyone else in the classroom had gone home at this point except for the two of them, and as the duty student he stayed behind to return the text message from the people at the vet hospital so he waited until now.

“Am I that scary?” Sakurajima Apricot smirked, the teary mole at the corner of her eye was particularly obvious.

With that, he took the seat at the table in front of him and sat down towards him.

Resting his hands on the desktop, his palms supporting his jaw, he looked at him calmly.

Aoi Natsuki gazed at her as well, until the -1 favorability that had not changed as usual appeared, and the little bit of anticipation he originally had within him melted away.

“Why are you here all of a sudden? It’s not like you’re here to force me to provide hair tissue, is it!” Aoi Natsuki shrank her body back.

“Don’t be afraid, can’t we just talk as friends?”

A friend?

Aoi Natsuki felt that people with negative favorability don’t think of themselves as friends inside, but since the other party had said so, there was nothing he could do to refute it, and then he sighed out of the tip of his nose, “So what’s there to talk about?”

Sakurajima Apricot’s smiling face instead made his heart very uneasy, her face then came up and whispered, “I’ve recently noticed that you’ve been getting very close to two girls, especially today at noon, you even went to meet that girl named Takahashi Mito, I saw it all, oh.”

“You’re peeping, huh?” Aoi Natsuki exclaimed.

“Why do you say that so harshly, I was on the rooftop long before you guys got here, you just didn’t notice me.” Sakurajima apricot shrugged her shoulders and said.

“I didn’t understand what you were doing at first, but now I seem to understand a little bit, just like that one called Hayakawa Keiko, the physique that you would have that would cause all the girls to have a negative favoritism towards you could actually be altered, and you’re trying to complete this experiment on Takahashi Mito right?”

Sakurajima Apricot’s godly gaze looked straight at him.

That guess was only half right; he was trying to change the other man’s opinion of himself, but not for the sake of the experiment, but for the sake of his own future.

“So what if it is, what’s it got to do with you?” He spread his hands.

But Sakurajima Apricot who heard this suddenly pouted, her body leaned in closer, the distance between the two of them might only be seven or eight centimeters, this was definitely the first girl other than Rina to keep such a distance from herself, he really couldn’t guess her more and more.

“Of course it’s relevant! You’d rather find her for your experiments than me, is it because I’m not good enough? Can’t I meet your requirements even if I look like this?”

Sakurajima apricot fingertips skimmed over her slightly pointed googly-eyed face, flawless skin carved like jade, I believe that any boy who looks at it will be attracted to its eyes.

Most importantly, there wasn’t that deep sense of disgust in her eyes when she looked at Aoi Natsuki, but instead, it was clearer and clearer than when they first met.

Or the clear eye of desire.

“It’s not as simple as you think, and I can’t tell you about this, so just die.”

“What the hell.”

This switching back and forth between innocence and desire was a little too much for Aoi Natsuki to bear.

“Don’t mention it, by the way, by the way, how’s that Discovery Club you’re staying at going?”

“Already abolished the ministry, who told you not to join.” Sakurajima Apricot beamed and drew circles on the tabletop with her finger.

“That’s good, just so you can return to your normal life, and I heard that you usually dress up as a clown in school? This …… forget it, this is actually your personal privacy, although I don’t understand why you do this, but I’m not at liberty to ask more.” Aoi Natsuki turned around and organized the backpack behind the seat before taking it off and slinging it over her body.

Apricot Sakurajima remained on the desktop, staring at him blankly, “Leaving?”

“Well, school’s going to close if we don’t leave, so you should go home early too.”

Aoi Natsuki waved her hand towards her and left through the back door of the classroom.

For Sakurajima Apricot, he instead felt that Takahashi Midu gave him more of a sense of reality, Sakurajima Apricot just always gave him a kind of hard to reach out to, hard to get people to listen to the real idea, so even if it was just a -1 favor, he still decided that it was to go in the direction of raiding Takahashi Midu.

As for what the godly girl said at the end, that she turned into a girl he’d met, could that Sakurajima Apricot, who didn’t act like a normal person in every way, be her.
