A reversal of fortune and victory in a world hated by all girls!

Luckily, I'm a cut above the rest.

Aoi Natsuki stared at her for a long time, and the two girls next to her also cast their gazes at her.

At this point, even if you wanted to, you couldn't refuse to forgive.

Aoi Natsuki gave a helpless smile, but at least it was on track as expected. If Sakurajima Anne's favorability hadn't increased, he wouldn't have said anything nice to her. Friends shouldn't be so calculating.

Aoi Natsuki looked at her, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Okay, I accept your apology."

Chapter 73 Mitsu Takahashi started overthinking again.

Natsuki Aoi and Anne Sakurajima shook hands and made peace.

Ultimately, he still hoped to become friends with Sakurajima An. After all, so much time had passed, but the way she had always treated him had made him very angry. If he didn't have the favorability system, he might never have paid any attention to her again.

Sakurajima Anne cried bitterly in front of him, a sight Aoi Natsuki had never seen before.

Is it true? Or is it an act? Then I thought again, why complicate things so much? She's just a sixteen-year-old girl, just a child who hasn't even reached adulthood yet.

Aoi Natsuki thought this in an adult-like tone.

In his previous life, he was at least an ambitious young man who had entered society. For a period of time, he would feel confused when he saw some strange people in high school, but later he thought that he was still the same age and felt relieved.

……

The next day.

Anne Sakurajima regained her stunning beauty.

This time it's completely and utterly...

In front of all the students!

"Hey! I heard there's a super pretty transfer student in Class One! Let's go check her out!"

Wow! What a beauty!

Why is she sitting in Sakurajima's seat?

"Hello... May I ask your name?" a bold boy asked as he stepped forward.

Sakurajima Anne was packing her schoolbag when she turned her head to look at him with her slender eyes, then smiled and said, "Matsumoto-kun, we've been in the same class for months, and you still don't remember my name? I'm Sakurajima Anne."

"Eh!!" The students surrounding the classroom door exclaimed in unison, and many who knew Sakurajima Anne showed expressions of utter shock.

"You're kidding me! She's Sakurajima An? I clearly remember Sakurajima being a..."

The entire first year of high school was in an uproar during early morning self-study. The fact that an absolutely stunning girl could have such an impact on all the students, and that she had never been photographed by any students despite appearing in front of them in person so many times before, made it clear that Sakurajima An really did have some kind of mysterious power.

Aoi Natsuki is thinking too simply about this. The incident continued until noon, and the popularity was still rising. With this level of popularity, are you trying to create a campus idol group?

He shook his head and went to the school rooftop as usual, waiting for Hayakawa to come. His relationship with Hayakawa had been progressing rapidly recently, but his affection level remained unchanged. The highest level, S-rank, was indeed extremely difficult to achieve.

Natsuki Aoi opened the bento box, picked up a piece of egg roll with her chopsticks, and put it in her mouth.

The taste is just right today.

A few clouds drifted across the sky, and only a gentle breeze brushed against his cheeks. He didn't feel cold at all; in fact, it was quite comfortable.

"Aoi".

A voice came from not far away.

Aoi Natsuki turned her head and looked up slightly, and saw Sakurajima Anne's figure on the small platform on the rooftop.

He smiled helplessly: "Do you always like to stand in such high places to look at things?"

“Yes, the view from up there is obviously better,” Sakurajima An said, squinting.

"Is that so?" Aoi Natsuki continued eating her bento to quickly fill her stomach, then said, "Come down quickly, don't stand so high up, it's too dangerous."

“Hmm…” Sakurajima Anne’s gaze began to shift, and then she walked step by step to another place where Aoi could not see her, and then she actually jumped down!

Aoi Natsuki was startled and quickly called her name, putting down her lunchbox and running over.

After he had circled most of the platform, he saw Sakurajima An unharmed as she fell onto four stacked mats, which was clearly premeditated.

He let out a long sigh and glared at her: "Don't make jokes like that again."

After saying that, he continued walking back to eat his bento.

Seeing his nervous expression, Sakurajima Anne nodded silently and followed him.

In the end, he sat down on the bench with Aoi.

"Why did you suddenly decide to come to school with your real face? Have you figured something out?"

“Because the experiment is over.” Sakurajima Anne looked at him, a strange light flickering in her eyes, “and I’ve found a new research topic…”

"Oh, congratulations then," Natsuki Aoi said casually. "You really do enjoy experiments."

"Of course, experiments are very interesting to me. For example, I cried in front of you yesterday. Look at Takahashi and Hayakawa. They were angry with me at first, but they instantly became gentle. Human nature can be actively controlled, Aoi."

"You're really amazing."

"No need to praise me. You'll thank me soon when I start my new research project." Sakurajima Anne smiled mysteriously, as if she was plotting something again.

but……

Aoi Natsuki didn't think too much about it.

Because he always made one thing clear.

Even if her crying yesterday was faked, even if her disappointment was faked, it's still a problem with her personality. That's the only reason Aoi Natsuki has been angry with her all week.

So when Sakurajima Anne's affection level reversed, Aoi Natsuki realized that she had finally understood the importance of friends, which is why he tried to ask Takahashi for help.

There are always flaws in friendships. Aoi doesn't dislike her mysterious and unpredictable nature, or the many things he doesn't understand about her. As long as she genuinely considers him a friend, Aoi feels that's enough.

“Ha…” Natsuki Aoi laughed awkwardly.

"Here, take this." Sakurajima Anne pulled a bottle of lychee-flavored fruit drink from her pocket and placed it on the bench. "I'll be going now. See you at the next club activity."

"Oh, thank you."

Natsuki Aoi watched her leave through the main entrance.

Soon he was alone on the rooftop again, and his gaze finally fell on the bottle of lychee drink.

amount……

How to do.

I absolutely dare not drink it...

……

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Mito Takahashi carried large and small bags of groceries and slowly walked towards home. Influenced by Aoi, she had started cooking properly recently.

Although the initial taste was somewhat subtle, subtly salty and subtly bland, making the whole kitchen a mess, she was fortunate to have the perseverance to stick with it all, and now she is finally able to make some decent dishes according to the recipe.

As she walked, she noticed a large crowd gathered ahead. She craned her neck to look and saw that it seemed to be a shopping street lottery. She remembered that she had a lot of points saved on her phone.

Let's take this opportunity to enter the lottery!

See, sometimes I can be quite thrifty and manage my household well.

Mito Takahashi smiled and joined the end of the line.

About five minutes later it was her turn. She shook the roller, hoping to win a consolation prize and take home a new rag.

But as the sound of beads pattering in the drum began, a red bead rolled down.

Ding Ding Ding!

The stall owner shook the bell in his hand.

Congratulations! You've won the second prize!

"What? Second prize? Me?!" Takahashi Mito was surprised by her luck.

What is the second prize?

The stall owner started searching for something in the display case and said, "These are two date tickets."

Let's go on a date!

Mito Takahashi was stunned. She had often seen it on TV before, where people would win prizes like a double hot spring hotel or a cruise trip in the shopping street lottery. Although she could go to those places herself, winning them in the lottery always felt like destiny.

And, and if it's for two people...

Her mind raced, and her thoughts began to wander again.

The male and female leads...

Hot spring inn...

No, shameless!

She interrupted her train of thought and turned to look at the stall owner's back as he searched for the lottery tickets.

"found it!"

Mito Takahashi's heart skipped a beat.

What could it be?

The stall owner handed over two coupons with a big smile and said, "Congratulations, here are two tickets to Ueno Zoo. Please keep them safe."

Eh?

Mito Takahashi remained silent.

This is not quite what I imagined.

Chapter 74 Why don't we try asking him out?

……

Mito Takahashi stared blankly at the two tickets on the coffee table for a long time.

“Koalas, wombats…” The ticket clearly showed images of some animals, but… Takahashi had absolutely no interest in going to the zoo.

Besides, going to the zoo is much worse than the other options I had considered, so maybe I should just forget about it.
