On the way to Asahina Nazuna's dormitory, Shiki Natsu didn't encounter a single person, which was simply ridiculous.
In such a huge campus, not even a ghost could be seen. Was this so kind of rule-based ghost story? Like, 'When you go to the dormitory with a girl, no people are allowed to appear in the surroundings.'
However, this also made it convenient for him to carry the beautiful girl on his back, saving him from a lot of troubleso explanations.
The two arrived downstairs at the second-year girls' dormitory without any obstruction.
Shiki Natsu stood at the elevator entrance carrying Asahina Nazuna, waiting for the elevator. Although this was the territory of the upperclassn, there wasn't the slightest bit of restraint on his face; instead, he looked calm and composed.
"Um... Shiki-kouhai, don't you feel very nervous?"
Lying on Shiki Natsu's back, Asahina Nazuna finally couldn't help but ask.
"Nervous about what?"
Shiki Natsu turned his head sideways, asking back with so confusion.
"It's just... usually when lowerclassn co to the upperclassn's classrooms or dormitories, they would be very restrained, right? After all, this is where the Senpais live; it's like entering the realm of adults..."
Asahina Nazuna explained in a low voice, her tone carrying a bit of 'it goes without saying'.
Not just in this school, but in the entirety of Japan, the boundary between seniors and juniors was very distinct.
"I don't feel that at all," Shiki Natsu said in a relaxed tone.
"Besides, if we're talking about age, the so-called Senpais are only one year older than us. What's the need to be restrained?"
Speaking of this, he suddenly gave a wicked smile and said insinuatingly, "Could it be... Asahina-senpai wants to put on the airs of a 'mature adult' in front of ?"
"Ugh..."
Having it pointed out by Shiki Natsu, Asahina Nazuna's cheeks were instantly dyed with a layer of crimson.
She had originally wanted to show a bit of dignity as a senior, but instead, she ended up being teased by her junior.
"Shiki-kouhai really isn't cute. I'm clearly the Senpai!"
She muttered sowhat unwillingly, but to Shiki Natsu's ears, it sounded more like she was acting spoiled.
Ding—
The elevator doors opened.
The two walked into the elevator, and Shiki Natsu asked casually, "Which floor does Senpai live on?"
"The Xth floor," Asahina Nazuna answered truthfully.
Shiki Natsu reached out and pressed the floor button.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, they suddenly opened slowly again.
Soone was coming in.
Asahina Nazuna's heart instantly leaped to her throat.
Clearly, they hadn't t anyone the whole way. Why did soone have to pop up right at this mont, just when they had finally entered the elevator and were about to return to the dormitory?
If an acquaintance saw her being carried by a first-year junior, how embarrassing would that be!
She subconsciously buried her head into Shiki Natsu's back, attempting to be an ostrich burying its head in the sand. As long as her face couldn't be seen, she shouldn't be recognized, right?
Shiki Natsu clearly felt the change on his back.
The girl's warm breath transmitted through his clothes onto his back, bringing a numbing and tingling sensation that was sowhat stimulating.
Is she plugging her ears while stealing a bell?
Shiki Natsu laughed secretly in his heart.
Although the beautiful girls in this school all had high visual levels, most of them had distinct personal characteristics.
For instance, Asahina Nazuna's dazzling long orange hair was simply a rare breed in the entire school; it would be hard not to recognize it.
If one absolutely had to find similarities, Nishikawa Ryouko from his own class and Horikita Suzune shared so slight similarities in appearance, while Shiraishi Asuka looked a bit like a long-haired version of Kushida Kikyou—of course, in terms of the scale of certain parts, Shiraishi Asuka was slightly inferior.
However, the personalities, eye colors, and auras of these four were completely different; they rely shared so common points in appearance.
As for what would happen if he was seen carrying a beautiful girl?
Shiki Natsu expressed zero pressure.
Just then, the person about to enter finally revealed their true face.
A head of blonde hair, with that habitual smile hanging on his face.
Wasn't this Nagumo Miyabi, whom he had just seen not long ago?
Shiki Natsu raised an eyebrow and conveniently activated the 'Observer' skill to scan Nagumo Miyabi's recent whereabouts.
It turned out that after threatening that pitiful senior, this guy went to the cafeteria to eat dinner, chatted with a few second-year female seniors for a while, and only then slowly headed back to the dormitory.
His life was quite nourishing.
When Nagumo Miyabi walked into the elevator and saw Shiki Natsu inside, he couldn't help but freeze for a mont.
Why is this kid in the second-year dormitory building?
And... he's carrying soone?
Nagumo Miyabi's gaze fell upon the figure on Shiki Natsu's back. That familiar long orange hair made him frown slightly, and an inexplicable sense of irritability welled up in his heart.
"Nagumo-senpai, what a coincidence."
Shiki Natsu broke the silence first, a gentle smile hanging on his face as he greeted Nagumo Miyabi quite naturally.
"Shiki, why are you here?"
Nagumo Miyabi asked in a deep voice, but those sharp eyes stared fixedly at the girl on Shiki Natsu's back who was trying to play dead.
Hearing Nagumo Miyabi's voice, Asahina Nazuna's body stiffened slightly. Then, as if heaving a sigh of relief, she slowly raised her head.
"So it's Miyabi."
Her tone didn't carry the panic of being caught; instead, it seed very natural. If it were an ordinary acquaintance, Asahina Nazuna might have minded, but if it was Nagumo Miyabi, it didn't matter. The two were already quite familiar, so...
That kind of romantic feeling between n and won was also hard to generate.
"Miyabi?"
Shiki Natsu keenly caught this form of address.
Calling him so intimately; it seed the two were very close.
Before Shiki Natsu could ask, Asahina Nazuna began to explain.
From accidentally falling and spraining her ankle on the steps, to encountering the kind-hearted Shiki Natsu, and then how Shiki Natsu not only helped her find her amulet but also specially went to buy dicine to treat her wound, and finally carried her back without complaint...
In short, the central the of the whole story was one thing: Shiki Natsu is a great person, and I am very grateful to him.
Listening to these words full of gratitude from Asahina Nazuna, Nagumo Miyabi's expression beca increasingly gloomy, and the smile on his face beca sowhat stiff.
It was obvious he was angry.
Very angry.
"Um... Nagumo-senpai, aren't you going to press the floor button? It'll be troubleso if we go past it~"
Shiki Natsu kindly reminded him, pointing at the control panel.
"No need, I'll go with you guys," Nagumo Miyabi said coldly. He then turned to look at Asahina Nazuna, his tone carrying a hint of warning.
"Nazuna, don't just trust strangers casually in the future. Even if they are students, so might harbor ill intentions."
"Strangers?"
Asahina Nazuna paused for a mont, then retorted with dissatisfaction, "Shiki-kouhai is a good person! Miyabi, you don't need to worry."
"Besides, this is the student dormitory; it's very safe!"
A girl's intuition is very sharp. While being carried by Shiki Natsu, Asahina Nazuna could feel that Shiki Natsu hadn't made any strange moves at all, like groping her thighs. He had been a gentleman the whole ti.
Hearing this defense, the corners of Nagumo Miyabi's mouth twitched, and his face darkened further.
Shiki Natsu, on the other hand, couldn't help but chuckle aloud.
"Exactly, Nagumo-senpai doesn't need to be so worried~"
He spoke in a brisk tone.
"I'm no bad guy, nor am I that kind of untrustworthy stranger. My reputation in the first year, and even the entire school, is obvious to all."
Speaking of this, his conversation took a turn as he looked at Nagumo Miyabi aningfully.
"Furthermore, this is a school, so it is indeed very safe. Of course, what Nagumo-senpai said isn't wrong either; this school also has unsafe places, right? Nagumo-senpai?"
These words were clearly hinting at Nagumo Miyabi's previous thought of fishing out Ichinose Honami's dark history in the Student Council.
Nagumo Miyabi's eyes instantly beca gloomy, but he controlled his emotions well, maintaining the smile on his face.
"It seems Shiki has so misunderstandings about ."
"Misunderstandings? Not at all~"
Shiki Natsu shook his head with a beaming smile.
"Nagumo-senpai is the Student Council's excellent Vice President; I firmly believe this without a doubt."
Although he spoke words of flattery, the expression on his face made Nagumo Miyabi feel annoyed no matter how he looked at it.
It was like punching cotton; that sense of powerlessness was maddening.
"Hmph."
Nagumo Miyabi snorted coldly and reached out to press the button for his own floor.
He didn't intend to say anything more to this guy.
If he continued to argue in front of Asahina Nazuna, it would only lower his impression score in her heart.
However, upon entering, Nagumo Miyabi's gaze still fell dead on Shiki Natsu.
"How about I carry you back, Nazuna? It's not good to trouble a junior too much."
This was his childhood friend; shouldn't he be the one carrying her?
Nagumo Miyabi was quite displeased. He beca more dissatisfied with every extra mont Asahina Nazuna stayed on Shiki Natsu's back.
"No need, it's fine for Shiki-kouhai to carry . Plus, it's just this short distance left, so no need to trouble you."
Asahina Nazuna rejected Nagumo Miyabi quite naturally. Nagumo Miyabi's mood grew heavy again—incredibly heavy. Clearly, he and Asahina Nazuna were the childhood friends, yet even he had never carried Asahina Nazuna on his back.
The boys' floor was lower. Nagumo Miyabi exited the elevator first, then glanced at the two, his eyes looking at Shiki Natsu filled with fury.
"Then I'll leave first. Nazuna, if you run into any trouble, notify imdiately."
The targeted implication of these words was quite obvious.
"Goodnight, Nagumo-senpai~"
Shiki Natsu revealed a smile while looking at Nagumo Miyabi's appearance, which looked as if he wanted to eat people.
The elevator doors slowly closed, cutting off Nagumo Miyabi's gaze full of fury.
Soon, the elevator arrived at Asahina Nazuna's floor. Shiki Natsu carried Asahina Nazuna toward her room.
"I'll just deliver you here. Asahina-senpai should be fine from here, right?"
Shiki Natsu placed Asahina Nazuna at the door of her room.
"Um... if you don't mind, Shiki-kouhai, please co in for a bit? You helped with such a big favor; I have to give you sothing to thank you."
As she took out her key to open the door, Asahina Nazuna invited him enthusiastically.
"Since Asahina-senpai invites so graciously, then I'll intrude~"
Shiki Natsu didn't decline. He was planning to follow Asahina Nazuna inside, but seeing the girl supporting herself against the wall and walking sowhat awkwardly, he simply picked Asahina Nazuna up in a princess carry and walked to her bedside, placing her on the bed.
"Ah!"
Suddenly being picked up by Shiki Natsu in a princess carry, Asahina Nazuna couldn't help but cry out in surprise. It was just too sudden. Only after sitting steadily on the bed did the girl look at Shiki Natsu resentfully.
"How can Shiki-kouhai hold a girl so easily?"
"Did Asahina-senpai wish to walk in like that just now?"
Shiki Natsu looked at Asahina Nazuna with a face full of smiles.
Of course she didn't want to. If she really ca in that way, Asahina Nazuna would have lost a huge amount of face in front of her junior.
Shiki Natsu looked around Asahina Nazuna's room slightly.
It was a room full of girlish aura.
Pink bedsheets, a pink duvet, and even the curtains were trimd with light pink lace.
The room was kept very tidy, and a faint fragrance perated the air, very similar to the scent on Asahina Nazuna's body.
"Sit wherever you like~"
Asahina Nazuna noticed Shiki Natsu's asuring gaze and smiled sowhat shyly.
"I am very clean, you know; I clean the room properly every day."
She pointed to the refrigerator in the corner.
"Shiki-kouhai, go get a bottle of milk from that fridge. That brand of milk is very delicious. Just take it as a thank-you gift for today! I'll treat you to a al later."
"Okay, then thank you, Senpai."
Although Shiki Natsu could easily get any brand of milk, since this was treated by Asahina Nazuna, Shiki Natsu naturally wouldn't be polite, lest the girl beco dissatisfied.
"I will properly savor Asahina-senpai's milk."
"Alright, I should be going back."
Just as Shiki Natsu prepared to bid farewell and leave, Asahina Nazuna suddenly called out to him.
"By the way, Shiki-kouhai..."
Her eyes flickered with the light of gossip.
"How do you know Miyabi?"
"t him when going to the Student Council with a classmate for so business," Shiki Natsu answered casually.
"But... looking at your atmosphere just now, it seed like it wasn't very harmonious?" Asahina Nazuna asked probingly. "Miyabi seed to be very hostile toward you."
"How is that possible~"
Shiki Natsu shrugged, looking innocent. Besides, this hostility was due to this Asahina Nazuna-senpai in addition to himself.
"I am filled with awe towards Nagumo-senpai, just like I respect Horikita-senpai."
"?!"
Asahina Nazuna widened her eyes in surprise.
"Does Shiki-kouhai actually give Miyabi such a high evaluation?"
One had to know that Horikita Manabu was the strongest Student Council President in history.
No, actually it was because Shiki Natsu held no awe for either of them; it was zero for both, so wasn't it the sa?
"Right, I haven't asked what relationship Senpai has with Nagumo-senpai?"
Shiki Natsu turned the tables.
"Listening to your forms of address just now, you seem very familiar?"
"Miyabi and I are childhood friends," Asahina Nazuna spoke quite casually.
"I see, childhood friends..."
Shiki Natsu nodded thoughtfully. So it was this relationship.
"That guy Miyabi has always been a winner since childhood. Whether in studies or sports, he has never lost."
Asahina Nazuna sat by the bed, swinging her legs, her tone carrying a few complex emotions.
"So he's constantly imrsed in his own victories and has beco increasingly conceited... Sotis I really wonder, if soone could defeat him fiercely once and wake him up, that would be great."
"It's a pity... Horikita-senpai doesn't intend to engage Miyabi head-on."
Speaking of this, she shook her head with so regret, then looked up at Shiki Natsu.
Shiki Natsu raised an eyebrow, looking at her with interest.
"Could it be that Senpai wishes for to defeat Nagumo-senpai?"
"Mn!"
Asahina Nazuna nodded vigorously, then raised her head, those cherry-red eyes staring tightly at Shiki Natsu.
"Shiki-kouhai, how confident are you that you can defeat Miyabi?"
"Does Senpai want to hear the truth or a lie?" Shiki Natsu asked back.
"The truth, of course," Asahina Nazuna answered without hesitation.
"Ten out of ten—one hundred percent."
Asahina Nazuna was stunned.
She looked at the boy before her who was brimming with confidence, and for a mont, she couldn't find the words to speak.
One hundred percent?
Facing that Nagumo Miyabi who ruled the entire second year and had never tasted defeat, he actually dared to say he had one hundred percent confidence?
Wasn't this too arrogant?
"What, Senpai doesn't believe ?"
Shiki Natsu smiled.
"Mn, it's really hard to believe. After all, I've never seen Miyabi fail. But since Shiki-kouhai is so confident, I'll wait and see~ You must defeat him fiercely!"
Asahina Nazuna nodded and laughed.
"Since Asahina-senpai has requested this of , then I will definitely defeat Nagumo-senpai fiercely."
Shiki Natsu waved his hand.
"Well then, I'll take my leave first. Rest well, Senpai."
After speaking, he turned and walked out of the room.
Watching Shiki Natsu's retreating figure, Asahina Nazuna rested her chin on her hand, her eyes full of interest. That kind of confidence wasn't sothing just anyone could have.
Next, would Shiki Natsu be defeated by Nagumo Miyabi, or would he defeat the undefeated Nagumo Miyabi? She was really looking forward to it.
