Chapter 35 – Takahashi Mito’s Loss of Temperament

Pouring a glass of water from the water dispenser by the counter, Aoi Natsuki also walked to the rest area and smiled helplessly when she saw Hayakawa Keiko sitting in the corner.

Walking up, “Have a drink.”

Hayakawa Keiko turned her head, her hands that were nervously gripping the hem of her pants slowly loosening at this point, and took the glass of water he handed her, “Where did that girl just go?”

“Oh, she’s gone busy again, what, is it hard to believe that you care about her?” Aoi Natsuki laughed and sat down across from her.

“Well …… after all, she’s such a pretty girl.”

This point Aoi Natsuki also agrees, indeed long and pretty, to come to work in a haunted house is obviously condescending, and he always felt that this face has a certain moment feel familiar, but he can not recall for the time being.

The lounge area also had a number of horror novels as well as pendulums, and Natsuki Aoi took down one to read.

For her part, Hayakawa Keiko glanced up at him every now and then, wanting to strike up a conversation, but in her mind she couldn’t find a topic to talk about…should we continue to talk about the fanfic? Will he think he’s an otaku then? What about manga? What if he doesn’t understand manga?

It took her a long time to get a word to pop out of her mouth.

Subconsciously looking down, she glanced at the shiny new underwear inside her collar, the brand new stockings on the lower half of her body, now that she was paying attention to her external grooming on a daily basis, and she had noticed a change in her life, but the boy in front of her always had the same attitude.

After all this time together, she could feel that Aoi was taking very good care of her, even better than the others, like Sakurajima or Mito, but why did she always feel that the distance between her and him still hadn’t closed.

That’s the distance between the heart and the mind.

Hayakawa Keiko clenched her lower lip as she began to mentally struggle again in her mind.

No, it shouldn’t be!

You should be brave enough to fight for it yourself!

Her eyes became determined for a split second as a warm current gradually flowed through her body, and eventually she lifted her head.

“Natsu, Natsuki ……”

“Uh, what’s wrong?”

“I, can I call your name like that from now on!” Hayakawa Keiko’s voice suddenly rose three degrees.

Natsuki Arai jumped at the sudden aura, then nodded, “Oh, no problem at all.”

“Too good!” Keiko Hayakawa shook her fist.

The favorability level is rising again.

Now Hayakawa’s favorability had come to 60 points!

It was one of the highest favorability values so far, even Lina’s favorability was still only at 58 points.

He froze for two seconds, and was just about to say something when, from the exit of the haunted house, Takahashi Midu fled with a disoriented scream, his whole face in a state of complete terror, tears in the corners of his eyes, and his hands clasped on the sides of his head, looking very comical.

While Sakurajima Apricot, who was running along behind her, had a smile on her face, a stark contrast to her; a haunted house of this magnitude was really like playing house to her.

Seeing this, Keiko Hayakawa rushed to follow, reaching out and stroking Metsu’s back, “Are you okay?”

“Hahaha, Takahashi was amazing just now, there were only four monsters in the haunted house, and her flurry of running around managed to attract four monsters to chase after her together, it was really fun! I originally thought that a haunted house of this level wouldn’t bring me too many surprises, but I didn’t expect the unexpected to be quite fun.” Sakurajima Apricot nodded in recognition.

Takahashi Mito was biting her upper lip tightly, and all of a sudden, the contrast from the original domineering young girl to the image of a little girl who needed to be comforted was too great.

But unexpectedly, Aoi Natsuki felt for the first time what it meant to be a contrarian.

At the end of the day, Takahashi Mito was the one who was scared the most, and after resting for a while, his head started to get dizzy, so the party had to stop there for the day.

“It’s okay, we’ll just take a cab tonight, you guys should go home early too.” Hayakawa Keiko assisted Metsu and waved goodbye to the two.

Aoi Natsuki had sort of seen a different side of Takahashi Mito today, and just thinking about it made her want to laugh.

“Then I’ll take my leave as well.”

Sakurajima Apricot raised her right hand and ripped a button from the collar of her school uniform in one fell swoop, then placed it in the hand of the frothing Aoi Natsuki.

“That’s a bonus. Oh, bye.”

Turning, he placed his hands on his back and took a step toward the end of the street.

Natsuki Aoi looked down at the button, thinking that this guy was doing something unexplained and weird again.

The current favorability of each girl is as follows:

Mito Takahashi, S rank, favorability: -48.

Sakurajima Apricot, S rank, favorability: -1.

Lena, Class A. Favorability: 58.

Keiko Hayakawa, Class C. Favorability: 60.

Ayano Takahashi, S rank, favorability: -42.

……

Eight o’clock in the evening.

Sent home Takahashi Mito lying helplessly on the sofa, body covered with a blanket, face with a towel, today for her to say that the shock is really too big, it is really not good to hold on to it.

It’s clear that you just want to appear perfect in the eyes of others.

But I didn’t expect to make such a big fool of myself ……

Will Hayakawa be disappointed in himself ……

Hey ……

She sighed moodily, and not long after the sound of a lock being unlocked sounded at the door, and a light footstep broke the depressing atmosphere of the space.

“Yahoo~ I’m back~ Sis, what are you doing lying on the couch?” Ayano carried the bag of desserts in her hand, which she had bought specially to reward herself for her hard work on her part-time job, which was pretty fun once in a while.

“Oh, Ayano well ……,” Takahashi Midu asked as she sat up and glanced at her outfit, “Are you volunteering again?”

“NO NO NO, this time it’s a friend of mine who needs to volunteer, but she also agreed to a part time job, so there’s no other way I’m going to help her out a little bit with her part time job, yay …… doing a part time job for a day like this not to mention it’s really fun.” Ayano nodded with satisfaction.

“That’s so nice, the only good thing about you is probably such an energetic personality.” Takahashi Midori thought of her own chicken-like friend edge, no comparison is harmless.

“That’s just because my sister doesn’t want to make friends, right! Sister, let me tell you, today I met a very amazing boy at the part-time job, do you know how amazing? No matter which angle you look at him from, you will feel disgusted from the bottom of your heart. I originally thought that the bald director of our school was annoying enough, but I didn’t realize that there was such a guy, it really opened my eyes.”

“Ho, yeah.”

When Takahashi Mito was in the middle of his sentence, Aoi Natsuki’s face instantly appeared in his mind.

Extremely annoying guy no matter how you look at it!

“I actually met a guy like that at school too, what a coincidence, I also found him incredibly annoying to look at in every way, but ……”

“But?” Ayano Takahashi cocked her head in confusion.

“No, it’s fine! Let’s call it a day, I’m tired too, good night!”

With that, he lifted the blanket, sidled up into his slippers, and slowly walked up to the second floor.

Takahashi Ayano, on the other hand, shrugged her shoulders and didn’t think about it so much, her head recalled the boy again, and a feeling of resistance rose up inside, wow, what a special guy ……
