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

Aoi Natsuki spoke first, looking helpless, "Are you making some strange guesses again?"

Seeing that her plan had been exposed, Sakurajima An relaxed, leaning against the wall and sighing, "Was the direction we were considering wrong after all?"

"Which direction?"

Anne Sakurajima then began to offer her analysis.

“Last night I chatted with Hayakawa privately. She told me that you had rejected her before, but later you clearly maintained a very close relationship with her. Also, at the beginning, you tried every means to get closer to Takahashi. At that time, I always felt that you were doing some kind of experiment, but later I found that it didn’t seem to be. Until last night, I had a new idea. Could it be that you were instructed by someone to get close to them? I have also noticed that you are particularly sensitive to certain words, especially the word ‘pamper’. You often stare blankly after hearing it. So today I thought I would use this as a pretext to see if I could get the truth I want out of you. But it seems that… the direction is still wrong.”

Sakurajima Anne let out a deep thought, pinching her chin with her right index finger and thumb, looking puzzled.

hiss……

Aoi Natsuki gasped inwardly; it was safe to say that her guess was almost certainly correct.

This guy's observation skills are terrifying!

He witnessed Sakurajima's prowess once again. If he hadn't revealed a flaw in his target, he might have actually believed him and fallen right into Sakurajima's trap.

"Don't overthink it, it's really nothing. Also, please don't do things like that again, it really scared me," Aoi Natsuki said calmly.

Sakurajima Anne pursed her lips, remained silent for two seconds, and then said, "Alright, it seems we need to change our approach again. Let's leave this matter aside for now. There's something I need to tell you, Aoi."

"What do you want to tell me now?" Aoi Natsuki was a little afraid that she would say something shocking again, so she instinctively shrank back.

Sakurajima An smiled and her eyes gradually widened: "Go to the activity room during the third period this afternoon, there will be a surprise."

After saying that, he waved the fingers of his left hand, then turned and left around the corner.

What Sakurajima Anne calls a surprise is very likely just a shock to Aoi!

Could this be another trap...?

……

Time quickly came to three o'clock in the afternoon. The second period had just ended, and the third period was physical education. The group went to the playground one after another. Sure enough, it was free time again. The students had been too stressed with studying recently, so now they could play as much as they wanted.

Yusuke ran over happily, carrying a badminton racket: "Natsuki, let's play badminton."

"Shouldn't you be playing basketball?"

"Don't mention basketball to me. Any ball with a diameter of more than ten centimeters gives me goosebumps." Yusuke looked troubled. It's all about training. He was forced into this because of his height advantage, and now every week is a miserable experience.

"You've really worked hard." Natsuki Aoi patted his shoulder.

"Those feathers..."

"Sorry! I just remembered I have something important to do. You'll have to talk to someone else for now."

Aoi Natsuki still wanted to hear Sakurajima's voice, so she went to the activity room to take a look.

Yusuke was struck dumb, and his face instantly turned pitiful.

amount……

"Then I'll go first." Aoi Natsuki didn't linger. Anyway, Yusuke would soon have a girlfriend, so let his girlfriend comfort his wounded heart.

Aoi set off for the Exploration Club's activity room, located on the third floor of the main building. Aoi Natsuki walked through the corridor between teaching buildings one and two, around the central square, and then entered the main building. The entire building was as quiet as ever until she reached the third floor, where she gradually began to hear some sounds.

Aoi Natsuki recognized the name. She slowed her pace and tiptoed forward. When she reached the door of the activity room, she found that the door was only a quarter of the way open, and the music was coming from inside.

He turned his head and looked inside.

First, I saw a mobile phone playing a waltz video tutorial on a table not far away.

Then there's Hayakawa Keiko, who's constantly imitating and learning from others.

At that moment, Natsuki Aoi suddenly understood what the surprise Sakurajima had mentioned was.

Hayakawa's movements were very clumsy, which showed that she had no talent for dancing. Aoi had already discovered this on the system panel, and so far her dance talent points had not increased at all.

Is that why you're secretly practicing here all by yourself?

Natsuki Aoi remained silent.

Standing quietly at the door, Hayakawa was panting heavily. She looked like she had been practicing for a while, but overall she was not even as good as she had been yesterday. Her movements seemed a little anxious, but she was not discouraged and continued to learn from the video.

wow-

Natsuki Aoi finally chose to push open the door.

Hayakawa, who was deep in thought while holding her phone, was startled and immediately looked over.

"Xia, Xia, Xia..." Upon recognizing Xia Shu, her face flushed instantly.

The fact that they were secretly practicing has been exposed!

Aoi Natsuki exhaled through his nose and walked into the activity room. The atmosphere between the two was somewhat subtle. Before he knew it, he had walked up to Hayakawa, and their eyes met.

"Want to...practice together?"

"That's what Aoi Natsuki asked."

Upon hearing this, Keiko Hayakawa's shyness slowly turned into joy, and a surge of emotion welled up from the bottom of her heart, instantly bolstering her courage: "Yes!"

Aoi Natsuki didn't say anything else, because the two of them already had enough tacit understanding, which they had cultivated through their daily study and communication.

Then Aoi extended her left hand toward her.

Hayakawa continued to breathe heavily, unable to distinguish whether it was physical exhaustion or mental tension.

She raised her right hand, her small, delicate palm landing on his tiger's mouth, and with a gentle pull, she stood up.

"Don't think I'm too stupid, I'm not a very good learner." These words were spoken by Natsuki Aoi, which was also a way to give Hayakawa a way out. Since both of them were terrible at dancing, they shouldn't argue anymore.

This was the first time that Keiko Hayakawa had kept such a distance from Aoi; she could see his chin just by tilting her head slightly.

A light stubble.

So Aoi does have a beard? I never noticed before, but up close, even her appearance changes, making her delicate features look much more refined.

The two then began learning the basic dance steps that Sakurajima had taught them the day before. They only learned the left-right step and the left-right step, and when paired with a real person, the effect was obviously very good.

Although the two made several mistakes along the way, they just laughed them off.

Keiko Hayakawa was deeply immersed in this romantic atmosphere.

At this distance, she could feel his breath, his heartbeat, and a faint masculine scent.

"Hayakawa."

"Hmm, eh?" She then realized that someone was calling her and quickly responded.

Natsuki Aoi lowered her head and said slowly, "You've put in a lot of effort during this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hayakawa stopped in his tracks, looking somewhat puzzled.

Under this atmosphere, Aoi Natsuki also became nervous. After coughing awkwardly, she said, "It's the changes you've undergone in recent times, from your clothing and appearance to your exposure to new things. You've really changed a lot, and I'm happy for you. But... don't push yourself too hard. Everyone likes to become a better version of themselves, that's definitely true, but the premise is that you have to take good care of your health, you know?"

Upon hearing Aoi's words, Hayakawa Keiko's expression changed. In fact, she had worked very hard. As an ordinary girl, she had spent a lot of time enriching and dressing herself in order to become better. This kind of effort was implicit and few people could notice it. To this day, she had forgotten how much time she had put in. The fact that her appearance score on the system panel was more than 10 points higher than that of an ordinary girl was the best proof.

But she was really tired.

Hearing Xia Shu's words, she could no longer hold back and threw herself into Xia Shu's arms, bursting into tears.

This was the first time she had hugged Natsuki.

She could feel his body temperature.

Aoi Natsuki could feel her hot tears soaking his shirt. He raised his hand and gently stroked her head: "You've worked hard..."

It was this feeling that made Aoi so steadfast in her choice of Hayakawa.

It is now, and it will be in the future.

Chapter 120 Four female dance partners?!

This scene looked very heartwarming. After suppressing her emotions for a long time, Hayakawa enjoyed the process of embracing Natsuki. She really wished this moment could last longer.

Outside the activity room, a figure was quietly watching the two of them, then shrank back, a slight smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

She is none other than Anne Sakurajima.

Following the principle of prioritizing entertainment, seeing such a scene is, to be honest, not bad at all.

Leaning against the wall, he tapped the surface with the fingertips of his right hand, already planning his next move.

……

A week passed quickly, and the group became more and more proficient in their dance practice. However, in the latter half of the week, it was mostly Aoi and Hayakawa who practiced, leaving Takahashi to practice with Ryuzakura.

However, it must be said that Ryuzakura really looks very tall up close, with a very mature and sophisticated aura. Despite having practiced martial arts since childhood, her skin is smooth and delicate, and her wheat-colored skin gives her a strong sense of athleticism. Yet, this girl, whom even other women envy, was recently rejected by a boy who was quite ordinary in every way. If it were anyone else, they would never understand why someone would reject the confession of such a beautiful woman.

During the dance, her gaze would occasionally drift towards Aoi Natsuki beside her.

Even a girl like Ryuzaki rejected him, so what about me...?

The more he thought about her, the more conflicted he became.

This fleeting expression was quickly captured by Anne Sakurajima, who was resting on a chair not far away, and her smile deepened.

……

The day of the first-year high school party arrived.

After school, Natsuki Aoi needs to rush home first to prepare dinner for Rina, and then rush back.

This year's first-year high school party won't be a grand affair; things like wearing formal attire would be impractical. The venue is the auditorium, a huge space where various snacks and desserts are displayed along the walls, creating a wonderful atmosphere. A dark-colored checkered carpet has been added to the original wooden floor, and the two crystal chandeliers above the auditorium, which are usually closed, are now lit up, making the entire venue bright and cheerful.

Although it wasn't that formal, a large number of people were still looking forward to today. Some came with yukatas prepared in advance, some came in cosplay outfits, and some boys even came specifically to do something funny, wearing a full mascot costume.

Another pair of boys and girls walked together. High school romances are always shy, hiding in a corner, occasionally exchanging a few words.

Relaxing music played in the auditorium, and the students began by eating desserts.

Just then, the doors to the auditorium were slowly pushed open.

When Mito Takahashi and the others arrived at the venue, they were still wearing their usual school uniforms. Upon entering the venue, they were surprised by the decorations inside.

Four girls walked into the venue, and soon, both boys and girls began to talk about them.

The main reason is that Takahashi and Sakurajima are the undisputed school beauties of the first year of high school. Whenever the two of them appear together, it always causes a huge uproar.

"Look, that tall girl!"

"Oh no! That's totally my type!"
