If Shiki Natsu were an ordinary person, he would probably feel guilty. No, rather, even if Shiki Natsu were an ordinary person, he wouldn't feel guilty.
Shiki Natsu felt that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with him; how did he suddenly beco the ringleader of this trouble?
It seed she was also a problem child. Hmm, Morishita Ai considered Shiki Natsu the culprit who prevented her from conducting her research, while Shiki Natsu considered the other party a problem child. It was a fair exchange.
"Have you been observing the ants all this ti?"
Shiki Natsu spoke up to ask. Well, the number of problem children Shiki Natsu had co into contact with was already high enough, so he didn't mind one more. Besides, problem children could often trigger CGs.
"That's right. I've been here observing since seven o'clock this morning," Morishita Ai replied earnestly.
"If what you say is true, your observation of the stray ant hasn't been going on for that long, right?"
Ants move at any ti. Even a snail would have moved a considerable distance in such a long ti. If he rembered correctly, the ti a stray ant would stay put absolutely wouldn't exceed five minutes.
"To treat the length of linear ti as the sole standard for asuring the value of observation... Shiki Natsu, your mode of thinking is too simple. This is a typical layman's fallacy."
This was the first ti Shiki Natsu had been looked down upon so lightly since coming to this school. Even Sakayanagi Arisu hadn't slighted him this much.
However, the most critical point was that Shiki Natsu really couldn't refute what Morishita Ai said. He felt that his communication with Morishita Ai seed to be on the sa channel, yet also seed not to be.
Morishita Ai finally stopped lying on the ground. She stood up and rubbed her tender neck; it seed that staying prone on the ground wasn't an easy task and was quite exhausting.
[Ding~]
[CG 28: The Observer (Morishita Ai)]
[I want to understand the person known as Shiki Natsu]
[Congratulations Host on obtaining Skill Card: Eye Instrunts (Your eyes can serve as telescopes, magnifying glasses, microscopes, and all other auxiliary visual instrunts)]
There was no smile on Morishita Ai's face either. She looked like a rather strict old scholar, her eyes gazing faintly at Shiki Natsu.
If not for the text beneath the CG, Shiki Natsu would have really thought that in Morishita Ai's heart, a living person like himself couldn't compare to an ant.
If he really couldn't compare to an ant, then that would truly be quite a failure.
"So, Shiki Natsu, do you have business with ?"
Morishita Ai patted the dust off her body. It had to be said, Morishita Ai was wearing quite decent clothes; they were rather dirt-resistant.
"How long have you been studying these ants?"
Shiki Natsu didn't answer imdiately, but instead fired back a question.
"Shiki Natsu, this is my question ti."
An ordinary person would probably answer Shiki Natsu's question first, but Morishita Ai was indeed no ordinary person.
"How about we have a contest? Let's see whose bond with the ants is stronger: yours, or mine and the an—"
Shiki Natsu decided to cut into the segnt.
"Shiki Natsu, are you sick? Why would you have a bond with ants?"
...
Listening to Morishita Ai's rather flat words, Shiki Natsu felt insulted.
"Fine. Conversing with ants—can you do it?"
Shiki Natsu looked at Morishita Ai. Very good, he had finally t a worthy opponent.
"I cannot achieve dialogue, but I can listen to their voices," Morishita Ai said, her tone seeming to carry a hint of pride.
"I can."
Shiki Natsu looked at Morishita Ai's appearance and spoke slowly.
"You're lying to ?" Morishita Ai looked at Shiki Natsu, obviously distrustful.
"Want to see?"
Shiki Natsu looked at Morishita Ai, who was staying by his side, and smiled quite casually.
Morishita Ai nodded. In her view, Shiki Natsu was truly a god-man; she had learned of an unusual side to him. Hmm, he really was a rather complex figure.
Shiki Natsu squatted beside the ant colony.
"You, co here. Or I'll kill you."
Shiki Natsu extended his index finger and placed it next to one of the ants, about five centiters away. This was to let Morishita Ai know that the ant wouldn't crawl onto his finger just because he was too close.
"I thought you were going to make ant sounds."
Morishita Ai squatted down beside Shiki Natsu in disappointnt. Fortunately, the skirt she wore was long enough; otherwise, squatting like that would really risk a wardrobe malfunction.
Ant sounds? Good grief, no matter how amazing he was, he couldn't possibly produce ant sounds, right?
He had mastered language proficiency, which allowed for communication, not making those kinds of sounds. Hmm, language proficiency ant automatically translating what he said into words the other party could understand, and then translating the other party's words into sothing he could understand.
"You're overthinking it."
Shiki Natsu's gaze fell upon that ant.
"Woo woo woo, don't kill !"
That ant crawled onto Shiki Natsu's index finger quite obediently.
"How about that?" Shiki Natsu looked at Morishita Ai as if showing off.
"Coincidence."
Although Morishita Ai was sowhat moved, she was still stubborn about it being a coincidence.
However... she looked at Shiki Natsu with so expectation. Could this guy really communicate with ants?
"Everyone, don't move. Otherwise..."
Shiki Natsu spoke to the ants before him, the threat in his tone quite obvious.
In the next instant, all the ants acted as if they were dead, completely motionless.
Seeing this, Morishita Ai finally thoroughly believed in Shiki Natsu's ability.
"Move."
Morishita Ai poked an ant closer to her with her slender index finger, but even though she touched it, the ant remained completely still.
"How did you do that?"
Morishita Ai turned her head to look at Shiki Natsu. Very good, man, you have caught my attention.
"Morishita-san, do you know why I am the class leader? It is precisely because I possess formidable talent."
Shiki Natsu was quite satisfied with Morishita Ai's little expression.
"I see." Morishita Ai nodded, agreeing with Shiki Natsu's words.
"So... Morishita-san, do you still think I am the culprit?"
"No, I don't think so at all, Sir!"
Morishita Ai gave Shiki Natsu a salute. Was she playing a role-playing ga directly?
"That's good, Corporal Morishita."
Shiki Natsu was also quite willing to play this kind of ga with her. At least his mood was pleasant, even if Morishita Ai's personality was a little bit eccentric.
"It's ti to eat. Morishita-san, want to join ?"
He checked the ti; it was already alti.
"Is Shiki Natsu planning to treat to a al?"
Morishita Ai stepped out of the role-play.
"Of course."
Shiki Natsu nodded.
"Is being this generous to gain my favor? Shiki Natsu, you have successfully done so. But don't worry, I won't order anything too expensive, because I am a woman who is gentle to wallets."
Morishita Ai spoke on her own accord.
Gentle to wallets? That was indeed very gentle.
