Kaguya-sama Wants Me to Surrender

"Y-yeah, that's enough..." Quail girl covered her chest with her right hand. Her heart was pounding, and her face was flushed as she said, "Let's hurry back."

"Wait." Amamiya Natsuki stopped Shoko and pointed to the other side of his face. "I have Symmetry Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I need one on the right side, too."

"..."

When it came to shamelessness, ten Shokos together were no match for Amamiya Natsuki. So even though Quail girl knew he was just bullying her, she obediently rose onto her tiptoes and kissed his other cheek.

Teasing Shoko was endless fun.

Amamiya Natsuki released her with satisfaction and said, "You ended up kissing me anyway. So next time I ask you to, do it sooner. There's only ever going to be one outcome."

"..."

At such shameless words, even Quail girl, who had an exceptionally good temper, puffed out her cheeks in anger, turned, and walked away, no longer wanting to deal with Amamiya Natsuki.

They walked back in silence.

They soon returned to the swimsuit shop.

Amamiya Natsuki looked up and saw a petite middle-school girl standing at the entrance, glancing around. She had short pink hair and a slender figure. It was Zhuzhu.

"Dummy Natsuki!" Seeing Amamiya Natsuki return with Shoko, Zhuzhu planted her hands on her hips and huffed. "I was wondering why Shoko suddenly disappeared. Of course it was you!"

Caught sneaking out, Quail girl's pretty face turned red. She stammered, at a loss for how to explain.

Amamiya Natsuki didn't so much as blink as he said, "Shoko, it's getting late. Go buy a swimsuit first. I'll explain things to Zhuzhu."

Quail girl let out a breath of relief and hurried into the shop with quick, light steps.

Amamiya Natsuki looked down at Zhuzhu and explained what had happened.
