Classroom of the Elite, I Really Just Want to Collect All the CGs

"I haven't forgotten, you know~ Have you decided what kind of maid outfit you want?"

Shikime Natsu looked at Sakayanagi Arisu, his eyes full of admiration. It was great that she was a good sport about losing the bet; he had genuinely been worried that Sakayanagi Arisu might try to welch on it.

"I don't know what style of maid outfit Shikime-kun prefers, so why don't you come with me to pick one out?"

Sakayanagi Arisu chuckled softly.

"Heh, that really won't be necessary."

Shikime Natsu could easily imagine the looks people would give him if he went to Keyaki Mall with a woman like Sakayanagi Arisu, especially if he made her buy a maid outfit. Given that Sakayanagi Arisu was rarely seen without her cane, his reputation at this school would be completely ruined.

"That truly is a pity. If Shikime-kun were the one choosing, I would even be willing to wear something with a higher level of exposure."

Sakayanagi Arisu placed her other fair, delicate hand gently against her chest, looking at Shikime Natsu with a playful expression.

Without needing to think, he knew his desk-mate had already been looking at him with the eyes of a scumbag more times than he could count.

This girl was intentionally trying to sabotage the relationship between him and his desk-mate; she was truly quite despicable.

"Sorry, I'm not really interested in a flat figure."

Even without her school uniform on, Shikime Natsu estimated that Sakayanagi Arisu was likely nothing more than an A-cup.

"XXX!"

"Is that so? What a shame. But it doesn't matter; I'll come to your dorm tonight. Perhaps I can let Shikime-kun experience the charm of being flat."

This girl was absolutely doing this on purpose, saying so many things that invited wild imagination.

"Then... I shall take my leave. I will prepare the maid outfit with the utmost care."

After saying this, Sakayanagi Arisu walked straight out.

It was fortunate that only Shikime Natsu, Kamuro Masumi, and Sakayanagi Arisu were left in the classroom at that moment, otherwise, she would have surely dragged his reputation through the mud.

The most critical point was that while her promise at the time was not to harm the interests of the class, she hadn't said anything about not harming his personal reputation. It was truly hateful.

Of course, Shikime Natsu was still looking forward to it a little bit. He was the winner, after all; what was wrong with enjoying the spoils?

"Where is your dorm?"

Kamuro Masumi looked at Shikime Natsu, her gaze quite terrifying, and one could sense deep dissatisfaction in her tone.

Shikime Natsu had already grown accustomed to being looked at with that expression by his good desk-mate.

"Do you want to come over and wear a maid outfit too?"

"...I'm coming to supervise you so you don't do anything out of line. You remember what I told you this morning, right?"

Kamuro Masumi glared fiercely at Shikime Natsu. This guy was still as unreliable as ever.

"Alright, I definitely have a sense of propriety."

Shikime Natsu promised.

"Dorm number."

Kamuro Masumi insisted.

"Building X, Room XXX."

Shikime Natsu finally gave up his dorm number.

"By the way, Masumi, do you want to go stroll around Keyaki Mall? The coffee there is quite good~"

Shikime Natsu stood up and extended an invitation to Kamuro Masumi, who was sitting nearby.

Since neither of them had joined any clubs, they had plenty of free time after school.

"I bet you just want to see what kind of maid outfit Sakayanagi bought, don't you? You're the worst!"

Kamuro Masumi looked at Shikime Natsu with an expression that said she already knew exactly what he was thinking, looking at him with utter disdain.

"You're really wronging me there. I just want to improve my relationship with my desk-mate."

Shikime Natsu explained, putting on an aggrieved look.

"Smooth talker."

Kamuro Masumi picked up her school bag and stood up.

"Then let's go."

Shikime Natsu followed suit and walked straight to the classroom door, not even waiting to see if Kamuro Masumi had agreed.

In Shikime Natsu's eyes, Kamuro Masumi was a classic case of someone who says one thing but means another.

"Shikime-kun, have you set up the appointment for me regarding Horikita-san?"

This was a message sent by Kushida Kikyo. He hadn't expected her to be so impatient, especially since she clearly didn't genuinely want to be friends with Horikita Suzune.

"Is it Sakayanagi?"

Kamuro Masumi glanced at Shikime Natsu, keeping her expression neutral.

"No, it's Kushida from Class D. She wants to ask for my help in becoming friends with someone else in Class D."

Shikime Natsu shook his head; there was nothing to hide about this matter.

"Oh."

Kamuro Masumi responded casually.

"Sorry, I was busy handling class matters yesterday and couldn't get to it. I'll ask for you in a bit."

Shikime Natsu replied in a very formal manner.

Though, in truth, he did need to help Kushida Kikyo set up an appointment. Success or not, he had to at least try; after all, Kushida Kikyo was a beautiful girl with a CG. Of course, if it didn't work out, Shikime Natsu wouldn't force himself.

He opened his contact list and found Horikita Suzune's name.

"Kushida Kikyo from your class wants to be friends with you."

"No."

Wow, that was blunt and decisive.

Shikime Natsu was full of admiration; this girl really was straightforward.

"Sorry, Kushida-san, it failed."

"I see... Then could you ask Horikita-san to meet at the cafe after school tomorrow? In your name, [Please please.JPG]"

She really was a troublesome woman.

Shikime Natsu couldn't quite understand the logic of wanting to be friends with someone she clearly didn't like.

"OK."

But whatever, meeting offline wasn't bad either. He wondered if he could trigger a new CG.

Kamuro Masumi followed silently by Shikime Natsu's side, her gaze scanning the surrounding students. Even though this school had such an absurd competitive system, the students looked no different from those at an ordinary school.

"Let's go, Masumi, this is the cafe I recommend."

Shikime Natsu pushed open the cafe door. Compared to the day before, the place was quite crowded, but luckily there were still empty seats. He was truly fortunate.

"I recommend these two coffees."

Shikime Natsu brought over the menu and pointed to the two he had tried before.

"I'll have this one."

Kamuro Masumi chose a coffee outside of the two he recommended. It was supposed to be an "A or B" choice, yet she insisted on the "or." It was truly wicked, especially since she specifically picked one he hadn't suggested.

Watching Shikime Natsu's expression, a flash of mischief crossed the girl's purple eyes, and her brows were tinged with a hint of satisfaction.

"Of course."

Although it wasn't obvious, the girl before him had likely smiled, right?

"Masumi, you look pretty when you smile. Why don't you do it more often? Like this."

Shikime Natsu looked at Kamuro Masumi, his fingers tracing a crescent arc beside his mouth.

"Like an idiot."

Kamuro Masumi turned her face away, resting her chin on her hand. The tips of her delicate, small ears were flushed with a faint red.

Chapter 33: Causality Skill, Good Deeds Bring Good Rewards!

Without any miscellaneous matters to attend to, Shikime Natsu felt quite relaxed. Even just sitting here having coffee with a beautiful girl felt pretty good.

Of course, that was on the condition that there was a beautiful girl present. If he were drinking coffee all by himself, it would look far too lonely.

"There are so many people in the cafe today, it looks like there are no seats left..."

Just then, a very familiar voice drifted over from the entrance.

"Eh? Is that Shikime-kun? What a coincidence!"

It was Kushida Kikyo, and standing beside her was a girl he didn't recognize.

The girl was petite, looking to be on the same level as Sakayanagi Arisu. Her long, deep blue hair was tied into twin tails—a style rarely seen in this school, which only added to her cuteness. There were traces of nervousness and worry in her purplish-red eyes, and paired with her small, adorable face, she was quite endearing.

The girl wore the school uniform top and a short skirt, revealing smooth, slender, and fair legs. She wasn't wearing white or black stockings, but the sight of her bare legs was still enough to easily draw attention.

[Envious of little Kikyo~]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill card: Good Deeds Bring Good Rewards (Your kindness may lead to good results)]

Another girl who triggered a CG, and judging by the name... she seemed to be a fellow countrywoman.

Kamuro Masumi's gaze also fell upon Kushida Kikyo and Wang Meiyu. So this was the Kushida-san that Shikime Natsu had mentioned earlier. Another incredible beauty; this guy really had a good social circle.

The girl studied Shikime Natsu with an unreadable expression, her mood feeling slightly irritable.

"Um... Shikime-kun, are you two on a date?"

Kushida Kikyo's gaze inadvertently swept over Kamuro Masumi.
