Chapter 73 – Takahashi Mito is getting paranoid again.

Natsuki Aoi shakes hands with Apricot Sakurajima.

In the end he still wished in his heart that he could become friends with Sakurajima Apricot, after all, so much time had passed, it was just that the way the other party had always viewed him made him angry, and if he didn’t have a favorability system, he probably wouldn’t have been able to bother with her in the future.

Sakurajima Apricot was crying in front of him in a way that Natsuki Aoi had never seen before.

Is it real? Is it pretend? Then on second thought, why complicate things so much, she was just a girl of sixteen years old, just a little kid who hadn’t yet reached adulthood.

Aoi Natsuki used an adult’s tone of voice and thought like this.

In his previous life, he was at least an aspiring young man out of the community, and for a while he saw some of the stranger types of people in high school who were at a loss for words, but then he thought about it or his age, and let it go.

……

Every other day.

Sakurajima Apricot is back to her usual stunning looks.

This time it’s complete and utter.

In front of all the students!

“Hey, hey, hey! The first class heard that there’s a super pretty transfer student! Let’s go check it out too!”

“Whoa! Beauty!”

“Why is she in Sakurajima’s seat?”

“You, hello …… May I have your name please?” A bold boy stepped forward and inquired.

Sakurajima Apricot was organizing her book bag, then she inclined her head, her slender eyes looking at him, followed by a crooked smile, “Matsumoto-senpai, it’s been months since we’ve been in the same class, don’t you even remember my name? I’m Sakurajima Apricot oh.”

“Eh!!!” The many students surrounding the classroom’s entrance exclaimed in unison, and many of those who knew about Sakurajima Apricot had expressions of incomparable shock on their faces.

“Liar! She’s Sakurajima Apricot? I clearly remember Sakurajima as a ……”

Early in the morning of the morning study, the whole high school one is in this sensational, an absolutely high value of the girl appeared in front of all the students can have such an influence, and before so many times to the true face of the school appeared, have not been some students secretly photographed photos, really, Sakurajima apricot this person is really what a mysterious power well.

Aoi Natsuki is still thinking too simply about this, this matter has lasted until noon, the heat is still climbing instead, this popularity, are you trying to form a campus idol?

He shook his head and went to the rooftop of the school as usual, where he waited quietly for Hayakawa to come over, his recent relationship with Hayakawa had skyrocketed, but the goodwill level had never seen any movement, this highest level S rank was really extremely difficult ah.

Aoi Natsuki opened the bento box, took a bite of an egg roll with her chopsticks, and stuffed it into her mouth.

The flavor is just right today.

A few puffy clouds drifted across the sky, and only a slight breeze blew across his cheeks, which didn’t feel cold and was unexpectedly quite comfortable.

“Aoi.”

A voice came from not far away.

Natsuki Arai turned her head to look, then looked up slightly and saw the figure of Apricot Sakurajima on the small platform at the top of the rooftop.

He smiled helplessly, “Do you even like to stand that high up to see things?”

“Yeah, well, the view is obviously better up there.” Sakurajima Apricot narrowed her eyes.

“Yeah.” Aoi Natsuki continued to eat her bento, first simply filling up her hunger, and then said, “Come on down, don’t stand so high, it’s too dangerous.”

“Well ……” Sakurajima Apricot’s vision began to drift, then she took a step towards another spot where Aoi couldn’t see, then surprisingly jumped down!

Startled, Natsuki Aoi shouted her name in a hurry, putting down her bento and darting over.

By the time he got most of the way around the platform, he only saw Sakurajima Apricot falling unharmed onto four high, tired mats, which was clearly premeditated.

He let out a long breath, his gaze glaring at her, “That kind of joke should never be made again.”

After that, he continued to walk back to eat his bento.

Sakurajima Apricot, seeing his nervousness, did not say anything nodded gently and followed.

Eventually joined Aoi on the bench.

“Now why did you suddenly think of coming to school with your true colors? Did you figure something out?”

“Because the experiment is over.” Sakurajima Apricot looked over at him, a strange color flowing through those pupils, “And I’ve found a new subject for my experiments now ……”

“Oh, that’s a real congratulations.” Aoi Natsuki said bashfully, “You really like experimenting, too.”

“Of course, experimenting is very interesting to me, including me crying in front of you yesterday, look at Takahashi and Hayakawa, who were still angry with me, didn’t they become gentle in an instant, human nature can be mastered in an active way, Aoi.”

“Then you’re pretty good.”

“There’s no need to praise me, soon when I start a new experimental subject to begin with, you’ll thank me then.” Sakurajima Apricot smiled mysteriously, as if she was premeditating something again.

But ……

Aoi Natsuki didn’t think much deeper.

Because he always made one thing clear.

Even if that big cry yesterday was faked, even if her loss was faked, then this was all part of a problem with her character, and the only reason Aoi Natsuki had been mad at her all week was that one.

So when Sakurajima Apricot’s favorability reversed, it became clear to Arai Natsuki that she finally appreciated the importance of friends, and that’s why he went out of his way to ask Takahashi.

There were always flaws that existed between friends, and Aoi didn’t hate the fact that she was always this mysterious and unpredictable, or that there were still many, many things he didn’t know about her, but as long as the other person was genuinely treating him as a friend, Aoi felt that was enough.

“Ha……,” Natsuki Aoi laughed awkwardly.

“This, for you.” Sakurajima Apricot pulled a bottle of lychee-flavored fruit drink out of her pocket and placed it on the bench, “I’ll be off then, I’ll see you at the next club event.”

“Oh, thanks.”

Natsuki Arai watched her leave through the front door.

With that, he was left alone on the rooftop again, his eyes eventually landing on the bottle of lychee drink.

Amount ……

What to do.

Totally afraid to drink ……

……

At six in the afternoon, Takahashi Mito slowly walked towards the direction of her home carrying a large bag of ingredients, she had also started to cook formally in this period of time because of Aoi’s influence.

Although the flavors were a bit subtle at first, subtly salty, subtly bland, making a mess of the whole kitchen, but fortunately she had the perseverance to stick with it, and at the moment she was finally able to make some more decent dishes according to the recipes.

As she walked, she noticed a large crowd gathered in front of her and craned her neck to see what looked like a shopping street raffle, and she remembered that she had quite a few points stored on her phone as well.

Solely take the opportunity to go to the raffle!

See, sometimes I’m pretty thrifty.

Takahashi Mito flashed a smile and got to the end of the line.

About five minutes later it was her turn, and she shook the roller with the idea that she would win a consolation prize and go home with a new rag.

But as the beads pattered in the roller, a red bead tumbled down.

Ding ding ding!

The stallholder shook the bell in his hand.

“Congratulations! You’ve won the second prize!”

“What? Second prize? Me?!” Takahashi Mito was surprised at her luck.

“What is the second prize please?”

The vendor began searching for something in the cabinet and spoke, “It’s two date tickets oh.”

About, about, about!

Takahashi Mito was stunned, she had often seen on TV before that the shopping street raffle drew some kind of hot spring hotel for two, or a cruise ship trip or something, even though she could have gone to those herself, there was always a sense of destiny in the raffle draws.

And, and if it’s a double ……

Her mind raced as her thoughts began to float again.

Men and Women ……

Hot Springs Hotel ……

No, unashamedly!

She interrupted such thoughts herself and turned to the back of the vendor looking for the raffle tickets.

“Found it!”

Mito Takahashi’s insides stuttered.

What on earth could it be!

The stall owner handed over the two vouchers and said with a smile on his face, “Congratulations, two tickets to visit the Ueno Zoo, please keep them.”

Eh?

Takahashi Mito was silent.

This, how is it not quite as expected, not quite as expected?
