    ……

    “Hey, why are we walking so carefully na, it’s not like we’re here to do something bad.”

    “Shh.”

    “Looking at something?”

    “Nah, just looking around.”

    “Let’s just see what it is.”

    Yusuke grumbled.

    Natsuki Arai stood at the front door of the second class, her eyes looking in.

    The target was quickly targeted.

    Have met a few times before.

    Sakurajima Apricot’s usual disguise ……

    Wearing high prescription glasses, a protruding jaw, and a tacky twist tie on top of her head, she sat quietly in her seat in the center of the classroom, looking at her book.

    All around them, students were laughing and chatting about various topics, forming cliques after cliques.

    But when it came to her side, it was as if she was isolated from the rest of the world, several times a girl passed by her and Natsuki Aoi thought she was going to have a word or two with her, but they all brushed past and chatted with the girl in front of them.

    “Ya …… so tragic a girl na.”

    “You know who I’m looking at.”

    “It’s hard to tell, of course it’s the girl with the twisted braids, she’s the one with the most different aura in the whole class, who is she, by the way? Aoi you care about her so much.”

    “Can’t really be considered caring, just a little girl who likes to talk about herself.” Aoi Natsuki inserted his hands into his pockets, turned around, and walked back.

    “Eh! I’m getting more and more concerned when you say that instead, did she actually do something?”

    “No, no, and besides, you’ve met her before.”

    “I’ve seen it?”

    “Sakurajima from the Exploration Club.”

    “Eh!!!”

    ……

    December 17, clear.

    Today’s club activity of the Exploration Club is still only one person, Sakurajima Apricot, and since it’s only one person, she can do things more quietly and calmly.

    But ……

    She was in a very bad mood today, so bad that she couldn’t sit in a chair alone and focus on one thing.

    So she walked out of the activity classroom and unknowingly made her way to the playground.

    There were quite a few classes in the third period of the afternoon that were in physical education, or sports clubs out for exercise, and there were still a lot of people coming and going.

    She then walked aimlessly around the outer circle of the playground by herself.

    Boom–

    A boy bumped into her shoulder from behind, and Sakurajima Apricot fell forward onto the ground unguarded.

    But the boy didn’t have any attitude of wanting to apologize, instead he laughed with the male classmate beside him, “Get out of the way! You ugly girl!”

    Anon, I forgot, I’m still an ugly girl.

    Sakurajima apricot’s physical fitness is worse than the average girl, all the year round like to nest in a small place drumming her those weird objects, rarely exercise, so the physical fitness is very poor, the reason for the very good body largely comes from the genetic inheritance, this can not be helped.

    Sakurajima apricot did not have any reaction, originally she disguised herself like this to try to verify this fact, such a thing …… she has long been accustomed to.

    “You boys! You’re going to run into someone and walk away! Apologize to me!”

    “Who are you again?!”

    “Hiss …… her, she’s that first class Takahashi Midu ah! She we can’t afford to mess with!”

    The boy’s whispered delivery was clearly heard by the fallen Sakurajima Apricot.

    She raised her eyes in surprise, only to see that Takahashi Mito was facing the group of boys with her arms crossed and a furious look on her face.

    Because of Takahashi Mito’s family connections, a lot of students knew they couldn’t afford to mess with her and kept their distance from her as much as possible, and coupled with her naturally fiery temper, she simply couldn’t stand being gossiped about behind her back, so in the end no one dared to talk about her anymore.

    “Are you okay?”

    At the side, Hayakawa Keiko also jogged over to assist Sakurajima Apricot, her tone of voice full of concern.

    Sakurajima Apricot nodded lightly, her attention returning to the situation at hand.

    “What a pain in the ass, let’s go!”

    “Do you really think you can just walk away like that! If you don’t apologize, I’ll make sure you get a big demerit from the school! Don’t think I’m joking!” Takahashi Midu’s condescending tone was on fire, her aura directly subdued the several boys, and hastily stopped in their tracks, a few of them looked at each other, and recalled the old days, they had no choice but to come back to apologize in a grayish manner, even though they were very unwilling to do so.

    “I’m sorry! It was my fault for knocking you over, please forgive me!”

    The boy who was originally screaming bowed deeply to Sakurajima Apricot.

    “Uh-huh.”

    Accompanied by Sakurajima Apricot’s answering voice, the boy’s face showed joy, and then he tentatively glanced at Takahashi Maidu until she revealed a disgusted tsk, and then immediately rushed out of the playground in a frenzy with a kind of boy beside him.

    “Che, bunch of suckers.”

    Takahashi Midu let out a long breath and slowly walked over to Sakurajima Apricot, “Is everything alright?”

    “Well ……,” Sakurajima Apricot looked at the two who had helped her and felt a bit of a blockage in her heart, “Thank you, I should be going then.”

    “Walking to where? Isn’t it club time?”

    “Eh?”

    Sakurajima Apricot turned around in surprise.

    She didn’t expect Takahashi to say such a thing to herself at all, clearly, clearly before ……

    “Do you, do you still want to continue with the Discovery Club ……”

    Takahashi Midu’s cheeks reddened slightly upon hearing that, and she reached up to clasp her cheeks, “That, that can’t be helped.”

    Keiko Hayakawa stepped forward at that moment and explained why.

    “It was Natsuki who came and found us specifically and said that he wanted us to continue with the Exploration Club, and he asked Metu for a long time before Metu was willing, so Sakurajima, we can’t do this again.”

    “Aoi please you guys ……” Sakurajima Apricot’s gaze began to wander, “What about Aoi himself?”

    “Of course he’s not coming back.”

    Takahashi Midu crossed her arms, her attitude still a bit unfriendly, “He told me himself that he won’t come back until someone admits his mistake in person in front of him, so why don’t you hurry up and go find Aoi and apologize properly! Don’t be petty this time!”

    The words were clearly a step down for her.

    Sakurajima Apricot’s heart was shocked beyond words.

    Is Aoi still willing to do so much for himself ……

    Even if I was using him as an experimental tool?

    Obviously she was unable to think that Aoi could know about her current situation through the goodwill system.

    “Well …… good.” She nodded, “I’ll go to Arai and apologize.”

    Hayakawa and Takahashi were smiling, if that was the case, it was undoubtedly what they wanted to see.

    Just worry that she’s still shafting like before.

    “Remember to apologize properly! You can’t do that!”

    “Just apologize properly.” She murmured under her breath, her gaze falling back on the two, “So where is he now do you know?”

    “Hmm! Natsuki said that if you want to apologize now, you can go to the classroom and find him! They’re free this period, he should still be in the classroom right now, so let’s go over there now!” Hayakawa shook his fist and said.

    With that, the three of them quickly arrived at the back entrance of the third senior class, and when they looked inside, sure enough, Aoi Natsuki was sitting in her seat, waiting.

    Aoi Natsuki wasn’t surprised when she saw the trio.

    After all, the favorability system doesn’t lie.

    “Natsuki!” Hayakawa winked repeatedly as if he didn’t know.

    Aoi Natsuki also stood up from her seat and said flatly, “So what, are you already planning to apologize.”

    Sakurajima Apricot always kept her head lowered, hearing his words she couldn’t help but feel her body shudder, and finally slowly raised her head, when she looked up Aoi Natsuki was surprised to find that her eyes were turning red, and there were still tears in her eyes.

    “Well …… I want to apologize.”

    Aoi Natsuki froze in her tracks, how was all this talking still with a crying voice?

    This state, she ……

    I wanted it to end on a light and happy note, but I didn’t expect it to suddenly become sad.

    The two girls around her immediately stepped forward as well, Hayakawa reaching out to pat her back while Takahashi gave her a heartfelt look.

    It’s true that even though she’s eccentric on a regular basis, she’s still a little girl who loves to cry.

    “Yeah, I’m sorry …… all the time, the whole thing, I’m sorry, so please, please forgive me okay ……”

    The sobbing in his speech became worse.

    Hmmm ……

    Natsuki Aoi was also shocked.

    But just as he was about to move, he suddenly realized something particularly strange, and he immediately paused.

    It is reasonable to say that the other party has cried so sadly, then the emotion must have reached the peak, the heart is to me to produce remorse, then this should be the time when the good feeling rises right.

    But now Sakurajima Apricot is ……

    Not the slightest hint of a rise in favorability!

    Aoi Natsuki stared wide-eyed as a new thought suddenly flooded her brain.

    You guys! It’s not supposed to be an act, is it?

    He immediately sucked in a breath of cool air, his just-enthusiastic heart already half-cooled.

    This guy really needs to be watched out for at all times.

    Luckily, I’m a bit more skillful.

    Aoi Natsuki looked at her for a long time, and the two girls next to her also cast their gazes at that moment.

    You can’t even think about not forgiving at this point.

    Aoi Natsuki revealed a helpless smile, but at least it was on track with what was expected, if Sakurajima Apricot’s favorability didn’t rise, he wouldn’t have put in a good word for her, and friends shouldn’t care so much about each other.

    Natsuki Aoi looked at her, took a deep breath, and slowly said, “Alright, I accept your apology.”
