Chapter 82: Sakurajima Apricot’s Christmas Invitation

……

“Nah, Natsuki, what are your plans for Christmas day?” Yusuke asked, turning his head from his seat.

“Christmas? What’s so special about that day, isn’t it just ordinary.”

“Eh? No girls asked you to spend Christmas together?!” Yusuke had an extraordinarily surprised expression.

Natsuki Aoi grinned, “Not really, if you want, you can come to my house for Christmas that day.”

“Oh~ That sounds like a good one.”

Yusuke pinched his chin in thought.

Natsuki Aoi didn’t care about that, and he was telling the truth; there were three days left until Christmas and two days left until Christmas Eve.

Everything went on as usual.

“Then take your time thinking of activities, I’ll go downstairs first.” This was a free class period, and Aoi Natsuki didn’t want to go to the playground to exercise, so after going out the back door of the classroom, she went all the way down the stairway of another complex connected by a corridor, which led directly to the park.

All Aoi Natsuki wanted was to sit quietly on a bench and blow off some steam and enjoy some free time.

Leaning against the bench and sitting down, he pulled out his headphones and connected the cord to the jack on his cell phone, turning on the show he was catching up on yesterday and slowly watching it.

Ha ……

The breath coming out of his mouth could already be seen forming a light white mist.

Temperatures have gotten colder, and it’s supposed to snow before long.

Watching and watching until his two eyes were blinking and the right earphone was removed from his ear.

“Guess who I am?”

The voice is sweet and delicate.

No! Don’t be fooled!

This light scent ……

“Sakurajima ……”

“Ha, bingo.”

Natsuki Aoi regained his sight.

He looked up to see that Sakurajima Apricot was looking at him from above.

The bench was leaning against the edge of a large flower bed, and she was in a crouching position right on the edge of it.

The two men’s faces were close together.

But even at this elevated angle, he couldn’t see any dead spots in her face.

Flawless, like a ceramic doll with a delicate and stunning face.

Great beauty.

Natsuki Arai’s mouth smiled faintly, “Do you like looking down on people that much?”

“Then wouldn’t it seem more abrupt if it suddenly appeared in your arms.”

“Well, then I would have been so shocked that I would have punched you on the spot.” Aoi Natsuki joked.

“Huh.” The hairy laugh here didn’t mean a sneer, but rather a rare laugh from a girl like Sakurajima Apricot, who covered her lips with her fingers.

“Don’t you think we look a lot like two men and women who are flirting right now?”

Hmm?

There’s ambiguity in that statement.

Was it on purpose? Or did he set another trap for himself to jump into?

“Not at all.”

“Eh~ How come, obviously, obviously you can see the bottom of my skirt if you tilt your head a little more say.”

“Huh?”

Aoi Natsuki hastily rolled over and stood up from the bench, turning his head to look, he was speechless, at this moment, Sakurajima Apricot was wearing a whole set of sportswear, her whole body could be said to be covered tightly.

This guy ……

“Don’t be angry, didn’t you just …… hold a momentary sense of anticipation in your heart?” Sakurajima Apricot jumped down from the edge of the flowerbed and slowly approached, “Because the anticipation fell through, that’s why the anger arose isn’t it?”

“……” Aoi Natsuki looked like she was speechless.

Looking at him with this expression, Sakurajima Apricot also brought her face closer and closer, wanting to observe every small change in his face more closely.

“Sakurajima, there’s actually an act I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, would you be okay with that?”

“Ho…… then you might as well give it a try oh.”

Sakurajima Apricot slowly narrowed her eyes.

And in the next second, Natsuki Aoi turned to face her squarely, raised her right hand, and aimed a crisp brainbuster at her forehead!

The force was not great, but the sound was loud!

Slap–

After this hit, Sakurajima Apricot was directly shocked to the point that she tilted her body back slightly, her entire body stood mute and motionless, and the piece of white skin at her forehead that had been struck also slowly turned red with time, leaving a deep mark.

Immediately the whole environment went quiet.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Aoi Natsuki covered her mouth and laughed out loud, the laughter no doubt causing Sakurajima Apricot’s pupils to become even more trance-like.

He raised his right hand and said, “I’m sorry, I’ve wanted to do this once before, I used to see some weird teenage girls who said inexplicable things in anime, and at that time I wondered what would happen if the hero went up to her and gave her a brain-buster at this time. Hahaha, sorry sorry, really just experimenting, you ……”

Natsuki Aoi reached out to her.

Sakurajima Apricot watched that all-damned hand reach out again, and hastily retreated two steps back while covering her forehead with her left hand as a painful and sore sensation surged up.

“Aoi!”

She viciously shouted his name, Aoi Natsuki is also the first time to see her this fierce look, to make a comparison, more like …… Chihuahua?

“I said I’m sorry, so tell me what I need to do to make it up to you so I don’t get mad.”

The words came to a critical point, Sakurajima must have something to look for himself as well, just in time to pick up on the following topic as well.

Hearing this, Sakurajima Apricot’s expression improved slightly, but she still kept rubbing her forehead, did it really hurt that much? What kind of physique did she have?

“Arai, do you have any plans for Christmas day?”

Another one asking about Christmas?

“Nope, currently just planning to be at home and asking Yusuke out for a normal Christmas.”

“So do you have time to come out that night?”

“Do you want to ask me out?”

“Eh, if you don’t have a date.”

Sakurajima Apricot was quite direct in what she said, and after thinking about it, Aoi Natsuki replied, “I probably can’t give you an answer to this for now, I’ll find you later.”

“Well, then let me know when you’ve decided.” Sakurajima apricot rubbed the hand for a long time finally put down, forehead …… still really have very obvious marks, Sakurajima’s skin is not too tender.

For which he apologized again.

Well, currently he has received an invitation from Yusuke with Sakurajima for Christmas.

The reason why he couldn’t say yes for the time being was because he thought Hayakawa would have invited him as well.

Available at ……

With that thought in mind, another day passed.

The other side still hasn’t moved.

Is this meant to be its own initiative ……

……

“Christmas? …… Maybe drawing a Christmas short would be a good choice, too.”

“Yes.”

Natsuki Arai is on a video call with Ayano for her next short pitch.

“Hmm? Why are you sounding so bored, Natsuki? Hohoho, it couldn’t be that you’re depressed because you didn’t have a girl to ask out on Christmas day, could it? Think about it, after all, that day my sister asked Hayakawa to go out with us, if you feel uninterested in being alone, I can see if you’re free that night or not~”

Across the computer screen, Ayano Takahashi said something amazing.

Aoi Natsuki looked startled upon hearing that, “What did you just say? Hayakawa had a date with both of your sisters?”

“Well, is it any wonder? Ha! It’s hard to believe that you thought someone would ask you out! Hahaha, don’t be ridiculous, you really think you’re the lead actor in a romantic drama! Hahahahaha ……”

Accompanied by Ayano’s unrestrained laughter, Aoi Natsuki’s entire body was in a daze.

A feeling of suffering arose within him as well.

This, this is nothing like where the galgame is going!
