As expected of Sakayanagi Arisu, the skill she gives me is a very aggressive one, but...
Shikime Natsu looked at the line on the CG, 'lower his guard'?
What is this girl trying to do?
Seems she's quite a restless person.
Shikime Natsu's gaze fell once more on Sakayanagi Arisu. She was now dressed in a maid outfit, but it was vastly different from the maid outfits he was familiar with. Aside from her small and cute face, no skin was exposed; she was completely covered up.
It looked good, but it lacked a certain visual impact.
"Do you like it?"
Sakayanagi Arisu stood before Shikime Natsu and slightly raised her arms. She didn't spin around in place; after all, for the current Sakayanagi Arisu, such a large movement was quite inconvenient. And... making such a move in front of Shikime Natsu would be too humiliating for her.
"I have to say, Sakayanagi, your taste is a little lacking. If it were me, I wouldn't have picked this one."
Shikime Natsu stroked his chin, sizing up Sakayanagi Arisu. Looking at her like this, he felt that quite a few things were missing. At the very least, it wasn't enough to stun him at first glance.
"Ara, I did invite you, but alas... you didn't agree, did you?"
Sakayanagi Arisu noticed the slightly disappointed look in Shikime Natsu's eyes and couldn't help but smile. She would never actually wear that kind of revealing maid outfit for Shikime Natsu to see. If she really did that, then she, Sakayanagi Arisu, might as well disappear from this world.
"My room is quite clean, so I don't need you to tidy up. Come give me a massage."
Shikime Natsu didn't hold back at all, sitting directly on the chair and waiting for Sakayanagi Arisu to come and give him a massage.
This was their agreement at the time, so Shikime Natsu felt no embarrassment whatsoever.
Sakayanagi Arisu approached with a smile, but a few glints of dangerous light flashed in her purple eyes.
This guy actually dared to make her do something like this?
Originally, Sakayanagi Arisu had thought this guy would just have her symbolically clean his room. She never expected him to directly ask her to give him a massage.
If Shikime Natsu ever fell into her hands in the future... Sakayanagi Arisu was already contemplating how to get her revenge on him.
Shikime Natsu leaned back comfortably in his chair, not at all worried that Sakayanagi Arisu would suddenly pull a kitchen knife out of her maid outfit. He had only done a small thing; it wasn't enough to make Sakayanagi Arisu fly into a rage out of shame.
Just then, Shikime Natsu felt a warmth on his shoulders. The temperature of Sakayanagi Arisu's palms passed through his school uniform to the skin on his shoulders. They say a girl's hands are ice-cold, but Sakayanagi Arisu's hands were somewhat warm. Did she deliberately warm her hands because she knew she had to give him a massage?
"Use a little more force. This doesn't feel like a massage at all."
Shikime Natsu closed his eyes, feeling the pressure on his shoulders. If Sakayanagi Arisu were to work as a masseuse, she would definitely be very unqualified. Even if she were to walk on someone's back, they'd probably complain she was too light.
"Okay~"
When Sakayanagi Arisu said this, her tone seemed to contain a deep resentment. If looks could kill, Shikime Natsu felt he would have been riddled with holes by now.
To be honest, the pressure was still not enough, but Shikime Natsu didn't press Sakayanagi Arisu any further. Her body was already in poor condition; if she used too much force, something might really happen.
"By the way, Shiki-san, what are your thoughts on our classmates?"
After about five minutes, Sakayanagi Arisu felt her arms were already getting a bit sore, but the damned guy in front of her didn't know how to be considerate at all, showing no intention of letting her stop and rest for a bit.
"What do you mean, what are my thoughts?"
Shikime Natsu could feel the pressure on his shoulders getting lighter and lighter. This girl's stamina really wasn't very good. Of course, Shikime Natsu had no intention of letting Sakayanagi Arisu stop. After all, she had caused trouble for the class, so it was only right that she accept her punishment.
And... suddenly starting a conversation with him, it seemed she was up to no good.
"This school is one where ability is paramount. Shiki-san, you must have observed the upperclassmen, right? Every class is missing a few students, more or less. The number of students is less than forty. I think... not every student would choose to withdraw voluntarily. After all, finding a new school isn't an easy thing to do."
Noticing that her topic had caught Shikime Natsu's attention, Sakayanagi Arisu continued to speak, as if she were just simply sharing information with him.
"Mm, you're right. So these students were probably forced to withdraw, for things like failing exams."
"You can take a break. Just sit on this chair."
Shikime Natsu stood up, pushed a nearby chair over to Sakayanagi Arisu, and then sat on the bed himself.
This girl's powers of observation were indeed quite good, it was just a shame she resorted to so many petty tricks behind the scenes.
"It seems we think alike. This school is one where ability is paramount, so the students to be eliminated are naturally those who lack ability."
Sakayanagi Arisu massaged her small hands together. She didn't know what was up with this guy Shikime Natsu's shoulders; they were as hard as iron blocks, it was truly tiring to press on them.
"As the class's leader, I think... Shiki-san must have already decided to discard those students with weaker abilities, right? In Shiki-san's eyes, who in this class is the most mediocre?"
Her purple eyes stared straight at Shikime Natsu, her face wearing its usual smile.
"It's only been a few days since school started. Does Sakayanagi already know which classmates are more outstanding and which are more mediocre?"
Shikime Natsu leaned his back against the wall, a faint smile in his light golden eyes.
"Of course. In this class, the only opponent I can deem worthy is you. The rest are nothing but mediocre people."
When Sakayanagi Arisu said this, the arrogance emanating from her was on full display. She genuinely believed it.
Even Katsuragi Kouhei, the current Sakayanagi Arisu felt, was nothing special. Only Shikime Natsu could pique her interest a little.
"Sakayanagi, you really think highly of me."
Shikime Natsu also chuckled after hearing this. He hadn't expected Sakayanagi Arisu's evaluation of him to be so high. Of course, Shikime Natsu's evaluation of himself was also very high.
"What if I said that, in my eyes, you, Sakayanagi, also belong to the mediocre type?"
Those words were like a needle prick. The smile on Sakayanagi Arisu's face instantly vanished.
