"Right now, I am the instructor."
Shiki Natsu thought about it and decided against it. Would a guy like Horikita Manabu really show a smiling face? No, even if he did, if Natsu asked him to send a photo, he would surely feel like dying. Anyway, the request would definitely be ruthlessly rejected.
Hearing Shiki Natsu say this, Horikita Suzune imdiately revealed a rather dissatisfied expression. Her brother could make friends without smiling, so why did she have to learn to smile?
"On the first day of school, I obtained over forty people's contact information. Clearly, I am the one with more experience," Shiki Natsu continued speaking. Although he probably couldn't compare to the social master Ichinose Honami, his existence within the entire grade was still quite unique.
"aningless."
Regarding Shiki Natsu's statent, Horikita Suzune gave her own opinion. Mm... aningless.
"Whether it's aningless or not, right now you must act according to my orders. You can only listen to ."
This girl really needed so training. However... the harder she was to deal with, the stronger the sense of accomplishnt after solving the problem.
Horikita Suzune's small face went completely cold. This guy...
"Co on, give a smile."
Shiki Natsu's light golden eyes locked tightly onto Horikita Suzune.
Horikita Suzune had always kept a straight face; she basically never showed a smile. It had been many years. Now, wanting to master smiling again, even just an attempt, was quite shaful for the young girl.
The expression on her face was quite stiff, especially since this detestable guy in front of her kept staring straight at her, making it even harder for Horikita Suzune to smile.
The girl turned her face away, her complexion crimson, no longer looking at Shiki Natsu. She couldn't do it. She absolutely couldn't do it!
"Why must I practice this kind of fake smile?"
Horikita Suzune frowned. To her, this kind of reluctant smile was just a fake smile. It had absolutely no aning at all!
Sigh... this really was a bumpy road. But this was also Horikita Manabu's fault. What kind of state had he raised his sister into? Truly unqualified!
For Horikita Suzune to turn out like this, Horikita Manabu must bear at least half the responsibility. Tokyo tropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School was a closed school. Not being able to contact his sister and educate her was understandable.
However, Horikita Suzune had been closing herself off since kindergarten, thinking only of studying and physical training, with almost zero interpersonal relationships. Did her brother not care at all?
If one were to say Horikita Manabu didn't care about Horikita Suzune at all, that would be one thing, but... that was clearly not the case, was it?
Isn't he now relying on the hands of an outsider like to correct Horikita Suzune?
"Not qualified."
Shiki Natsu shook his head and directly announced the result, wearing a look of quite obvious disappointnt on his face. Mm, he was showing it to Horikita Suzune on purpose.
Being rated as "unqualified" when she had always been excellent dealt a massive blow to the girl's pride. Her small fists couldn't help but clench tight; she looked quite frustrated.
In the girl's current cognition, smiling was still not necessary. Horikita Manabu had set a bad example. Unless she saw Horikita Manabu smiling while making friends with others... it really wouldn't work in the short term.
"Change to sothing else."
Horikita Suzune stared straight at Shiki Natsu, her wine-red eyes holding emotions of unclear aning.
"Alright."
Beyond the girl's expectations, Shiki Natsu actually agreed.
Is this guy really that kind-hearted? Regarding Shiki Natsu's quick agreent, Horikita Suzune couldn't help but beco vigilant. This guy is a bad guy; how could he be that kind?
"Don't be so nervous. Even if I forced you to smile, you wouldn't be able to smile, right?"
Shiki Natsu casually glanced at the vigilant girl.
"Since you knew, why did you make do it?"
Hearing Shiki Natsu's words, Horikita Suzune felt he was humiliating her. He knew she couldn't do such a ridiculous thing, so why did he still do it?
"This was an assessnt. Originally, I thought if it was Horikita, such a small matter would be a piece of cake."
Shiki Natsu sighed lightly, looking as if he was quite disappointed in Horikita Suzune.
"Leaving aside you two siblings, smiling is the most basic thing in making friends. I am an example. Oh right, and your class's Kushida Kikyou, and Class B's Ichinose Honami—aren't they living examples?"
"Even if... at the very least, you should have understood the basic operations of making friends, right? Oh, that was my lack of consideration. After all, Horikita, you've been alone since kindergarten, so you probably don't know how to make friends either."
"That is why I have co in handy."
Shiki Natsu nodded. Listening to what Shiki Natsu said, Horikita Suzune knew he wasn't wrong. Also... repeating what she had said before—that was mockery, right? Definitely!
Proving that the path she walked alone was actually mocked... this made Horikita Suzune quite dissatisfied. Of course, Shiki Natsu had also said that her brother was not alone; the one who was alone was her. There was a problem with the path she walked. It was just that... wanting to change imdiately, to overturn her past and beco a different person, was not a simple matter for the girl.
Ti is necessary for people to change.
"Cooking—can you do it?"
Shiki Natsu stood up, walked to Horikita Suzune's side, and asked casually.
"Of course I can."
Horikita Suzune snorted coldly. Ever since she learned this school was a boarding school, she had started practicing cooking.
"Then I'll leave my dinner to you."
Shiki Natsu decided to take the plunge. To be honest, given Horikita Suzune's appearance, Shiki Natsu leaned more towards thinking she was the type of girl who had never done housework. She was good at studies and physical activities, but cooking was likely sothing she was quite bad at.
Even though Horikita Suzune said she could, Shiki Natsu didn't hold much hope. If it were Shiina Hiyori, Shiki Natsu might have looked forward to it quite a bit. Shiina Hiyori looked like the kind of girl who was quite dostic.
"Hah? Why should I prepare your dinner?"
Hearing Shiki Natsu's words, Horikita Suzune frowned. Wasn't this guy going too far? Not only did he constantly provoke her with words, but he also wanted to freeload off her.
"Don't you want to be friends with ? If I'm in a bad mood, you won't be able to succeed. If I'm in a good mood, you might just succeed, right?"
Shiki Natsu didn't care about Horikita Suzune's reaction at all and continued speaking on his own.
"Think about your brother. If he knew you successfully made a friend and changed your past weaknesses, he should be very happy, right? When the ti cos, you can also openly tell your brother that you have grown."
"What do you want to eat?"
In the end, Horikita Suzune was defeated by Shiki Natsu's words and decided to prepare dinner for this detestable guy.
Seeing Horikita Suzune looking clearly reluctant yet having no choice but to do it, the sadistic amusent in Shiki Natsu's heart was greatly satisfied. The secret weapon known as Horikita Manabu was truly useful. Shiki Natsu felt he really needed to thank Horikita Manabu properly.
