Kamuro Masumi took Shiki Natsu to a nswear store to pick out clothes for him. Although Kamuro Masumi didn't know how to pick out suitable clothes for herself, when it ca to picking out clothes for Shiki Natsu, her boyfriend, she personally took charge.
The clothes she picked out for Shiki Natsu completely matched her taste. After selecting the clothes and paying the bill, she carried the shopping bags in her own hands. This way, one of her hands was occupied, leaving the other hand free to hold hands with Shiki Natsu.
After buying the clothes, it was almost dark, so the two of them hurried in the direction of the dormitories. Upon entering the dormitory area, they automatically entered an urban legend-like environnt; besides himself and Kamuro Masumi, Shiki Natsu couldn't see anyone else.
Originally, according to Shiki Natsu's previous plan, tonight was the day Horikita Suzune, Sakayanagi Arisu, and Kushida Kikyou were supposed to fulfill their wager and provide maid services.
However, since today was, after all, the first day of his relationship with Kamuro Masumi, Shiki Natsu naturally wanted to spend more ti on his girlfriend. As for the others, they could wait for a while.
He had originally wanted to send a ssage to Shiina Hiyori as well. After all, every now and then, Shiina Hiyori would co over to his dorm to learn cooking skills, though they didn't maintain a high frequency of doing it every single day.
Right at that mont, Shiina Hiyori also sent a ssage saying that she temporarily wouldn't be going to Shiki Natsu's dorm to learn cooking today. Mm, quite a coincidence, quite serendipitous.
Shiki Natsu wondered if Kamuro Masumi's lucky hairpin had played a role in this.
Dinner was personally prepared by Shiki Natsu. As it was the first day of their relationship, he naturally prepared it with great care. Of course, no matter how much effort he put in, his culinary skills had already reached the pinnacle of perfection, making it fundantally impossible to make the food any more delicious.
After finishing the al, Kamuro Masumi took the initiative to shoulder the task of washing the dishes.
She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair arms, and stood by the sink, earnestly washing the bowls and chopsticks.
Shiki Natsu didn't stop her; he rely leaned against the kitchen doorfra, quietly watching this scene.
The sound of running water, the soft clinking of dishes, and the young girl's slightly clumsy yet incredibly focused back...
This was the so-called "everyday life."
This harmonious and warm atmosphere made his heart feel extrely comfortable.
Once Kamuro Masumi finished cleaning everything up, the two sat together on Shiki Natsu's bed.
The room was very quiet.
"Natsu..."
Kamuro Masumi turned her head, her purple eyes flickering slightly.
"Just like this... keep holding my hand, okay?"
Her voice was very soft, as if she were acting spoiled. It had to be said, it seed that girls automatically learned how to act spoiled after getting into a relationship, even a girl who was usually quite tsundere like Kamuro Masumi.
Probably no one would ever imagine that Kamuro Masumi would show such an expression, right?
This appearance could only be seen by Shiki Natsu.
Shiki Natsu smiled and nodded in agreent without any hesitation.
"Of course."
He reached out his hand, wrapping her slightly cool small hand within his palm.
Feeling the warmth transmitting from his palm, Kamuro Masumi's sowhat restless heart finally slowly settled down.
She lowered her head, looking at their intertwined hands, seemingly pondering sothing.
After a good while, she raised her eyes again, looking at Shiki Natsu with a trace of complex and sowhat shy emotion in her gaze.
"Natsu..."
She bit her soft lower lip.
"Although we are already in... that kind of relationship.
"But...
"Could you... give a little more ti to prepare?"
The young girl didn't explicitly say what she was "preparing" for.
However, as a battle-hardened gal ga expert, how could Shiki Natsu not understand her underlying aning?
She wasn't ntally prepared yet to take the final step—that is, "going all the way."
After all, for a pure young girl who had just tasted the feeling of love for the first ti, this kind of thing indeed required a little ti to adapt and accept.
Shiki Natsu wasn't the impatient type; he much preferred enjoying a process where things fell into place naturally.
Thus, he smiled gently and lightly squeezed her palm.
"Mm, I know.
"It's alright, Masumi."
Shiki Natsu's soft words made Kamuro Masumi feel even more at ease.
For the following period of ti, the two of them didn't do anything special.
They just sat shoulder-to-shoulder on the bed, their fingers intertwined, chatting casually.
They talked about amusing things at school, talked about each other's hobbies, and even just purely enjoyed the tranquility of the mont.
Ti passed by unnoticed, and in the blink of an eye, it was nine o'clock at night.
It was just about ti to say goodbye.
Kamuro Masumi stood up sowhat reluctantly.
Although she was a million tis unwilling in her heart, if she continued to stay, the young girl probably wouldn't even think about returning to her own dorm, right?
Well, staying over for the night wasn't impossible, it's just that... today was rely the first day of their relationship. For the young girl, she needed to go back and properly process this dream-like day.
Retracting her hand, Shiki Natsu's temperature still lingered in her palm. That warmth seed to have flowed through her blood to her entire body, making her feel completely warm and cozy.
Shiki Natsu walked her all the way to the door.
"Then... I'll head back first."
Kamuro Masumi turned around, just about to take a step and leave.
"Wait a mont, Masumi."
Shiki Natsu suddenly called out to stop her.
"?"
Kamuro Masumi turned her head back in slight confusion.
"You forgot sothing," Shiki Natsu said with a smile.
Kamuro Masumi subconsciously raised her hand, looking at the exquisite paper bag holding her new clothes.
It's all here...
She hadn't forgotten to bring anything.
Just as she was feeling puzzled, Shiki Natsu had already walked up in front of her.
He reached out his hand, gently cupping her cheek.
The pads of his fingers caressed her delicate and soft skin. That sensation was like touching a piece of fine silk—warm, smooth, and carrying a trace of intoxicating coolness.
"...!"
Kamuro Masumi's face was originally its normal, fair color.
But the mont Shiki Natsu's palm rested against it, it was as if so sort of switch had been flipped.
Poof.
An alluring blush rapidly spread from her cheeks, going all the way to the roots of her ears.
The young girl's appearance of being shy yet forcing herself to stay calm was truly quite adorable.
Watching her touching deanor, the smile at the corners of Shiki Natsu's mouth deepened.
"There's still the goodbye kiss."
Hearing these words, Kamuro Masumi froze slightly, then obediently nodded.
That's right...
This was a privilege exclusive to couples, after all. Mm... she heard there were also good morning kisses, good afternoon kisses... and things like that.
The young girl slowly closed those purple eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
She raised her head slightly, like a delicate flower waiting to be plucked, quietly anticipating the arrival of that mont.
Shiki Natsu lowered his head and kissed her without hesitation.
After a long while, their lips parted.
"Good night, Masumi."
"G-Good night, Natsu."
Kamuro Masumi felt as if her entire being were floating.
Her heart was beating violently in her chest, as if a little deer were thrashing around inside.
Was this... what dating felt like?
Sweet and warm, making one a bit dizzy, yet unable to resist wanting to sink completely into it.
This feeling of happiness truly felt as if it were going to overflow from her body.
Even though they had only just separated, still...
As long as she thought about being able to see him again tomorrow, being able to hold his hand again, and being able to kiss him again...
The sense of anticipation in her heart was already on the verge of bursting.
Carrying the shopping bag, Kamuro Masumi walked toward her dorm with brisk steps.
It was just that...
Halfway there, her footsteps suddenly paused.
Wait a minute...
Had she forgotten sothing important?
Ah!
She seemingly... completely forgot to roll around on Shiki Natsu's bed!
She was clearly his official girlfriend now.
This kind of thing that she could only do sneakily in the past, she could completely do it openly and properly now!
To think she had actually forgotten to exercise this girlfriend privilege...
What a pity!
The young girl bit her lip in slight frustration, and the small hand holding the bag involuntarily exerted a bit of force, gripping the handle tightly.
Next ti...
Next ti, she absolutely had to make up for it!
Watching Kamuro Masumi's back disappear at the end of the corridor, Shiki Natsu closed the door and returned to his room.
"Phew..."
He unconsciously let out a sigh of emotion.
"Girls who have fallen in love are truly quite adorable.
That gap moe, that wholehearted reliance—it indeed made it very hard not to be moved.
After washing up simply, Shiki Natsu lay back down on his bed.
The dead of night was quiet.
But he didn't feel sleepy at all.
His gaze fell onto the [Dream Entry] skill on the system panel.
The last ti he used this skill, he entered Matsushita Chiaki's dream. Mm, it was quite a ss; all the important plotlines or whatever were entirely skipped, yet he himself felt absolutely nothing.
This ti around...
He wondered how his luck would fare.
It had to be said, this skill was honestly a bit too weak.
It was a complete random lottery; he couldn't even designate who the target was.
Furthermore, after entering the dream, he didn't have much initiative. He was essentially a bystander, at most able to chat a couple of sentences with the master of the dream.
"Forget it, let's give it a try... just give it a try."
Shiki Natsu closed his eyes and activated the skill.
When he opened his eyes once more.
What greeted his sight was still that familiar scene—
A classroom.
Shiki Natsu couldn't help but complain internally.
Are people nowadays unable to separate themselves from classrooms even in their dreams?
Was this also an Earth-bound spirit in so sense?
Could it be... was this still Matsushita Chiaki's dream?
He subconsciously surveyed the surrounding environnt.
No.
It seed a bit different.
Although the people around were all wearing the uniform of this school, however...
The faces of these people weren't blurred and unclear like they were in Matsushita Chiaki's dream.
They had faces.
It was just that...
Looking at the faces of this group of people, Shiki Natsu felt it would be better if he couldn't see them clearly.
Because surprisingly, neatly pasted on the faces of all these people were paper slips with two large words written on them—
[Friend].
What the hell kind of bizarre art style was this?
Shiki Natsu was completely dumbfounded.
Whose dream was this again?
To be so fixated on the word "Friend"...
Could it be that social butterfly, Ichinose Honami?
Or was it that angel on the surface, devil on the inside, Kushida Kikyou?
After all, these two people both seed to have many friends. Dreaming of being surrounded by a group of people plastered with "Friend" labels seed to fit their personas quite well.
Or perhaps...
That gloomy girl who always kept "standing from the perspective of the majority" on her lips, Hino Yuki?
After all, having many friends could also be considered standing on the side of the "majority," right?
Shiki Natsu couldn't wrap his head around it for the ti being, so he could only continue observing.
Soon, amidst this group of "Friends," he noticed a distinct figure.
That person didn't have a paper slip pasted on their face, but instead had a clear countenance.
That iconic long, straight black hair, that expression as cold as frost...
Wasn't that exactly—Horikita Suzune?!
Just as Shiki Natsu was feeling surprised.
A crisp voice suddenly rang out in the classroom.
"Um... Suzune."
This voice was quite familiar.
Shiki Natsu looked toward the source of the sound.
He saw that beside Horikita Suzune, there stood a young girl with a sowhat full figure, her entire face brimming with a smile.
That was—Sakura Airi?!
"Congratulations, Horikita-san!"
"You've made friends with everyone in Class D!"
"The current you is truly quite popular!"
Sakura Airi clapped her hands and smiled as she spoke to Horikita Suzune.
Hearing these words, Shiki Natsu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Horikita Suzune?
Making friends with everyone in Class D?
And quite popular at that?
Shiki Natsu couldn't help but sigh with emotion. It really was a dream; it was fake at a single glance.
However...
Sothing even more outrageous was yet to co.
The Sakura Airi in the dream continued speaking.
"Right, right! There's also so good news!"
"That Shiki Natsu-kun from Class A, he's also planning on taking the initiative to co over and make friends with you, Suzune!"
"He said... he's waiting outside right now and wants to co in and et you, Suzune!"
Shiki Natsu: "???"
He was completely dumbfounded, freezing right on the spot.
?
Actively begging to make friends with Horikita Suzune?
Shiki Natsu barely needed to think about it anymore; the master of this dream was absolutely Horikita Suzune. Shiki Natsu couldn't help but begin to suspect—could it be that he gave Horikita Suzune too much pressure normally?
To actually make this girl Horikita Suzune think about making friends even while in a dream, and furthermore, making friends with him.
Listening to Sakura Airi utter such news, the expression on Horikita Suzune's face didn't change in the slightest.
She raised her chin slightly and said with a completely cold face:
"If that's the case... then let him co in."
The mont her voice faded.
The classroom door was pushed open.
Shiki Natsu watched helplessly as...
Another "himself" walked in from outside the door, wearing an utterly fawning and submissive expression.
That "Shiki Natsu" walked up in front of Horikita Suzune, pressed his palms together, and begged with teary eyes:
"I'm begging you! Horikita-san!"
"Please... be my friend!!"
Shiki Natsu: "..."
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
What the hell...
