    “Why you?” It was the first time Aoi Natsuki had seen Sakurajima Apricot in a leather jacket, and it was too ……

    He skimmed away.

    There’s something a bit evocative about it.

    “Just passing by.” The corners of Sakurajima Apricot’s eyes were thin when she squinted, and looking past the black cat that was eating in front of her, and Aoi, who was holding a ham sausage in her hand, she instantly understood what was going on as well.

    “You’re really kind, Aoi, feeding stray cats in the middle of the night.”

    “No, actually I was just coming over to the convenience store and saw it in passing.” Aoi Natsuki stood up and looked at the heavy motorcycle behind Sakurajima Apricot, all black with smooth lines and a vehicle that made it look extraordinarily comfortable.

    He recognized the car, his own relatives had once had one in his previous life, and he had thought it was simply awesome back then.

    Kawasaki h2.

    Four-cylinder water-cooled four-stroke, displacement 998cc, length, width and height of 2085 x 770 x 1125, can be said to be every man saw the dream of wanting to own a car, the price is also quite inexpensive, the lowest period is also to sell to 6 million yen a sky-high price.

    The price had completely exceeded Aoi Natsuki’s current standard of living, and even before, being able to get close enough to touch it felt like an adrenaline rush.

    But I didn’t realize that Sakurajima would have a ……

    Instead, they also drove up the street!

    “Are you really okay with driving a Kawasaki h2 on the street, I remember you’re a couple months younger than me, right?”

    “It’s okay, it’s okay, do you want me to take you back?” Sakurajima Apricot’s eyes flowed, “Haven’t had a ride like this before, have you? It’s a rare opportunity.”

    Aoi Natsuki hesitated, mainly because the impact of the locomotive for men is too great, the engine is loud, the hot blood in the body all of a sudden, he thought about this back to just three or four hundred meters, and agreed to go down.

    With that the two got into the car one after the other.

    Upon touching the texture of this carbon fiber casing, Aoi Natsuki felt that he had come out to buy oil today in the right place.

    This is just great!

    “Sakurajima, is this car hardly yours?”

    “No, the bike belongs to my dad, and I just stole the keys to get out and feel it before he realized it.” Leather-clad Sakurajima Apricot turned her head slowly on the motorcycle, and her posture was quite flirtatious.

    Aoi Natsuki had grown accustomed to her looking at herself with such eyes in the meantime, and then pointed his finger down the slope, “My house is in that direction, just go down the slope and ……”

    Before the words were finished, Sakurajima Apricot suddenly started the vehicle and drove in the diametrically opposite direction with Aoi Natsuki in tow.

    There weren’t many pedestrians on the streets at night as a Yamazaki h2 sped by.

    Sakurajima Apricot’s face began to become excited, and the black hair that was draped behind her seemed to transform into a viper on Medusa’s head, spitting its snake’s letter in the air continuously.

    Aoi Natsuki held onto the handrails on either side of him, he was completely unresponsive and was just being led on a run.

    The traveling speed slowly increased from 140km/h to 210k/h.

    And that rate is still climbing.

    The sound of the engine was pumping loud.

    The vehicle rushed onto a viaduct, and in the light of the streetlamps, Sakurajima Apricot’s eyes glittered with a glowing white light; this was what she wanted to pursue.

    The pleasure satisfied her both physically and mentally.

    Aoi Natsuki was a bit scared at first, yelling to slow down a bit, but as she heard Sakurajima Apricot’s maniacal laughter that was still faint under the strong air currents after the speed was raised to 230km/h.

    He, too, was silent.

    At this time, the favorability value on Sakurajima Apricot’s head was still -1.

    But eyeing this -1, he gradually began to understand the reason why the favorability had been stagnant.

    With that, his expression became calmer, and he just let Sakurajima lead him around, and he didn’t say anything to her, and just like that, twenty minutes passed quickly.

    After going in a big circle, eventually Sakurajima Apricot dropped him off in front of his house.

    But even as it stopped, Sakurajima Apricot was still laughing out loud, removing her helmet and saying freely, “I’m sorry, but …… should feel good, right?”

    “……”

    “Why don’t you say anything? Is it hard to be angry with me?” Sakurajima Apricot pressed her body down, her upper body pressed against the armrest, and looked straight at him.

    Natsuki Arai let out a breath through her nose and raised her eyes to Apricot Sakurajima, asking, “What was the reason for driving so fast just now? Did you want something from it?”

    Instead of answering Sakurajima Apricot’s question, he threw out two completely new questions.

    But Sakurajima Apricot was still really thinking about it.

    “Maybe …… want to feel this boundary between life and death? As I said before, we should respect death, maybe it’s a new form of ‘life’~”

    “……”

    “Haha, are you frightened by my words? Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, all of this is what humans need to go through, but when you are able to look death in the eye, you can realize the many, many incomparable wonders of it.”

    “……”

    “Aoi?”

    Sakurajima Apricot called out his name once more.

    This time Aoi Natsuki finally chose to speak up and had part of the matter figured out in her mind.

    “Sakurajima, you haven’t really been looking at me as a friend since the beginning, but more like an object or an interesting experiment, right?

    I never figured out before why you always treated people differently than others, but now I do understand completely, because you never sincerely considered us friends either, and have always been close to us just for the sake of your insatiable bad taste that

    From starting a club, going to a haunted house together, having a birthday party at Takahashi’s house, and even the fireworks festival, everything about you is fake, and this kind of you makes me feel shaky, and this time, the

    Sakurajima, you really managed to scare me.”

    Aoi Natsuki said with a frown.

    This was what he suddenly figured out, why was Sakurajima Apricot’s favorability always at -1, it was obvious that the relationship felt so cordial, so why did the favorability never change in any way? Now the answer came, the other party didn’t take him as a friend at all, and probably didn’t even treat him as one at all.

    Once that train of thought opened up, he felt the extent of the girl’s awesomeness in front of him.

    At the same time, a deep disappointment permeated up inside.

    When Sakurajima Apricot heard his words, a shocked look appeared on her face as well, but she quickly recovered.

    After a long interval, the corners of her mouth rose once more, “Yes …… you guessed everything correctly, Aoi, so …… do you need to award you any prizes for your wit?”

    Aoi Natsuki’s gaze had taken on an angry color the next second he looked at her, he was a good-natured man, but that didn’t mean he was willing to be lied to like that!

    He took a deep breath, and his voice was unconsciously lowered as he said, “I don’t even want to have anything to do with you anymore in the future, your fool’s game, I’m not playing anymore!”

    With that, he turned and opened the iron door with the key and walked in without looking back.

    As the iron door was slammed heavily shut, Sakurajima Apricot’s entire body shook with it, and she stopped where she was for a long time woodenly, and it was only when the cold wind blew her cheeks red, that she finally restarted the vehicle and took off.

    And inside the house.

    Aoi Natsuki’s mood was also a bit depressed, but it was better to break it off when it came to girls like this, and he didn’t want to have anything more to do with a guy who only used people as experiments.

    But after this incident, he also made one thing clear, that is, Sakurajima Apricot could not be a Divine Maiden, before, he had always felt that the two sides were very much alike, but after today’s incident, he realized that the two sides were vastly different in philosophy, so the real Divine Maiden was still someone else.

    Just who else would …… be?
