The beautiful girl with the bright golden high ponytail couldn't help but look nervous as Shikime Natsu approached, her indigo eyes filled with complex emotions.

Shikime Natsu couldn't quite decipher those emotions, but... regardless, he knew he possessed an excellent build, so he assumed it must be the awe of seeing a handsome guy. He just didn't know why the beautiful girls at this school were so reserved; he hadn't even had anyone confess to him after all these days.

It wasn't that Shikime Natsu was bragging, but before coming to this school, he basically had to reject several people every single day.

"If you keep walking like that, your injury might get worse. If you don't mind, shall I carry you to the infirmary?"

Shikime Natsu glanced at the injured beauty in front of him. Although he possessed the God-tier Massage Technique, he feared that using it on someone he had just met would result in him being "refined into a pill" for harassment.

Right now, Shikime Natsu was projecting the image of a good-natured guy. Well... there were surveillance cameras here, too, which could at least prove he wasn't the one who caused the injury.

The other two beautiful girls exchanged glances, then simultaneously turned their eyes toward the golden-haired girl.

"Kei, what do you think?"

"Then... please."

The golden-haired girl's eyes flickered, and she made her decision.

"Alright, please help me hold this book."

Shikime Natsu handed the book in his hand to the light-brown-haired girl standing closer to him.

"Sure."

Shikime Natsu crouched down in front of the golden-haired girl. A moment later, he felt two small hands rest on his shoulders, the girl's warmth seeping through his school uniform. Then, her entire body pressed against his back. A distinct, soft sensation came from his back—she was even more well-endowed than she looked; one really couldn't judge a book by its cover.

Because the girl's pleated skirt had been shortened, he couldn't touch her buttocks, so he had to place his hands between the hem of her skirt and her thighs to prevent her from having a wardrobe malfunction.

When his hands made contact with the girl's thighs, Shikime Natsu felt an astonishing delicacy and smoothness. Upon the initial touch, he could feel the coolness radiating from her skin; it was soft and supple, quite comfortable to touch. The moment he made contact, he could also feel the girl tremble slightly—that was the girl's shyness.

When he stood up with her on his back, Shikime Natsu didn't feel much strain. This was partly due to the girl's light weight and partly due to Shikime Natsu's own remarkable physical strength.

During their conversation, Shikime Natsu finally learned the identities of the three: they were all from Class D of the first year, namely Matsushita Chiaki, Sato Maya, and Karuizawa Kei.

Karuizawa Kei was the beautiful girl Shikime Natsu was carrying, and she appeared to be the core of the trio.

"Thank you, I'm really sorry to trouble you."

When Shikime Natsu placed Karuizawa Kei on the bed in the infirmary, she thanked him sincerely.

"Yeah, if it weren't for Shikime-kun's help, Kei's foot injury might have gotten worse."

Sato Maya struck up a conversation with Shikime Natsu very naturally, her blue eyes sparkling. Shikime Natsu knew this look well; this person definitely had a crush on him.

"Don't mention it. After all, we're all classmates, and we should help each other out."

Shikime Natsu smiled; this favor was worth it.

[Ding~]

[CG19: Seeking a Fake Boyfriend (Karuizawa Kei)]

[Can I ask him to be my fake boyfriend?]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill card: Observer (After use, you can observe all of the target's actions for the next week. The target will not notice. Cooldown: two weeks)]

Well, it was even more worth it.

Chapter 50: Just Exchanging Contact Info, Nothing Sinister

Why are there so many high-quality beauties in Class D?

Horikita Suzune, Kushida Kikyo, Wang Meiyu, plus this trio of gyarus—that makes six already.

It couldn't be that Class D was entirely made up of beautiful girls, could it?

However... what did this "seeking a fake boyfriend" mean? Could it be that a suitor for Karuizawa Kei had already appeared in Class D, but she didn't want to accept him, so she was looking for a handsome guy like himself to act as a fake boyfriend so that the person would give up completely?

Shikime Natsu briefly imagined the scene. Well... it wasn't exactly dramatic; it was just quite cliché.

Or perhaps it was a case of "fake boyfriend" turning into "real boyfriend" as they went along?

That was also quite possible. Karuizawa Kei really had some hidden schemes.

It was just that... Shikime Natsu couldn't accept something like being a fake boyfriend. After all, once he started, and with no set deadline, it would affect his ability to interact with other beautiful girls.

He had to raise the favorability of other beauties to a certain level, after all. Of course, he would avoid ending up like "Nice Guy" Makoto.

Shikime Natsu didn't leave immediately after dropping Karuizawa Kei off; he waited for Matsushita Chiaki and Sato Maya to help her treat the sprain.

The school doctor wasn't in the infirmary at the moment, so they had to handle it themselves, which gave Shikime Natsu a sense of déjà vu.

If it had just been him and Karuizawa Kei, the current situation would have been him helping her treat the injury, right?

Then, he would raise her favorability a little bit. Yes, that's how it works in gal games.

"Luckily, the injury isn't too serious. Get some good rest tonight. Tomorrow... Maya and I will help you walk."

Matsushita Chiaki took a rough look; Karuizawa Kei's sprain wasn't severe. If it had been serious, a large lump would have likely already formed.

It would be fine if she just rested well.

"Yeah, sorry to trouble you both."

Karuizawa Kei nodded, her eyes cautiously sizing up Shikime Natsu. He seemed like a good person; he hadn't intentionally taken advantage of her while carrying her.

The way he looked at her wasn't disgusting either; it was almost restrained, and he generally didn't let his gaze linger on them for too long.

Well... Shikime Natsu was currently looking at his phone.

"Um... Shikime-kun, if you don't mind, could we exchange contact information?"

Sato Maya made the first move, leaving Karuizawa Kei completely shocked. Wasn't this action a bit too fast? She hadn't even had time to react yet.

"Of course."

A faint smile hung on the corners of Shikime Natsu's mouth.

So handsome!

Sato Maya was left dazed. Shikime Natsu was practically her ideal type, and the gentle kind at that!

Horikita Suzune & Sakayanagi Arisu: ???

After obtaining Shikime Natsu's contact information, the girl's flushed face was filled with joy.

This delight was naturally impossible to hide, but... for now, the girl had only confirmed that Shikime Natsu was her ideal type; she hadn't truly gotten to know him yet. Of course, Sato Maya felt that Shikime Natsu was definitely not the type to be a bad person.

Besides, a girl should also show some restraint. If she expressed her interest on the very first meeting, who knew if they would even be able to remain friends in the end.

Being able to get Shikime Natsu's contact information now was already quite an achievement.

"If you don't mind, shall we all exchange contact information?"

Shikime Natsu looked toward the other two. For him, exchanging contact information was as mundane as drinking water.

"Okay..."

Karuizawa Kei couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief in her heart. This was the target she had set her sights on to be her fake boyfriend, but just now, Sato Maya had taken the initiative, and she had almost wanted to give up. After all, this was her close friend's target.

But... this was Shikime Natsu's own suggestion. He had just helped her, so it wouldn't be right to refuse, right? Besides, Sato Maya probably only liked him because he was handsome, and well, since he had helped her, she had to treat him to a meal at some point, right?

Karuizawa Kei quickly convinced herself, then exchanged contact information with Shikime Natsu. As for Matsushita Chiaki, since the other two had exchanged, she naturally couldn't be the odd one out.

The expression on Sato Maya's face remained unchanged, still wearing a silly, happy grin.

Shikime Natsu took a brief look at the three of them. It felt quite surreal; he felt like he was spending more time interacting with people from Class D than with those from his own class.

He checked the time; it was almost time for dinner. Hmm... Shikime Natsu had recently been eating dinner around eight o'clock in the evening.

"I'll see you back to the dormitory."

Shikime Natsu's gaze fell on Karuizawa Kei. He believed in seeing things through to the end—this was definitely not because he wanted a legitimate excuse to feel that softness again.

"Mm-hmm."

Karuizawa Kei nodded. By the time Shikime Natsu crouched down in front of her, she had relaxed a bit more; at the very least, she wasn't as tense as she had been the first time.

"Sorry for the trouble."

Matsushita Chiaki nodded apologetically toward Shikime Natsu. She had noticed the books Shikime Natsu had asked Sato Maya to help carry, and judging by the direction they had come from, he had likely been planning to head to the library.

"Don't be so formal."

Shikime Natsu laughed, not minding it in the slightest.

By nightfall, there were hardly any students left on the streets, as most had holed up in their own dormitories.

After seeing Karuizawa Kei and the others to the elevator, Shikime Natsu headed straight toward the restaurants in Keyaki Mall. This was the noodle shop he had visited with Shiina Hiyori earlier, and he hoped from the bottom of his heart for a chance encounter.

What a pity, how could such a beautiful girl be in Class C? Come to Class A instead!

However, thinking of the twenty million private points required for a class transfer, Shikime Natsu couldn't help but shake his head. When in the world would he ever save up that many points?

Unless he directly threatened Sakayanagi Narimori, otherwise... relying solely on the monthly class points to save up twenty million within three years was likely impossible.

Walking into the ramen shop, hmm... he was the only customer. This place really was quite deserted.

It was a shame that the "chance encounter" plot didn't happen. Shikime Natsu casually ordered a bowl of ramen to fill his stomach, then headed toward the dormitory area.

The round trip took another half hour or so. A message from Sakayanagi Arisu had already arrived, saying she was waiting outside his door. Shikime Natsu felt a slight sense of admiration for her; after what he had said to her yesterday, she actually dared to come again tonight.

Of course, if she didn't come, Sakayanagi Arisu probably wouldn't even be able to get past her own pride. After all, she was a very haughty person, and since she still wanted to compete with him, she naturally couldn't break her word.

When Shikime Natsu reached the floor where his room was located, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Why were there two people?

Chapter 51: Don't Be a Bad Maid Today

To have two beautiful girls come to his place late at night really made him feel honored. Shikime Natsu clearly saw the two people standing at his door: one was Kamuro Masumi, and the other was Sakayanagi Arisu.

Good grief, Kamuro Masumi hadn't come last night, so he had assumed she wouldn't show up. He hadn't expected her to be waiting for him here.

The atmosphere between the two of them looked a bit tense.

"Alright, come on in."

Shikime Natsu invited them into his room quite naturally. Even with two beautiful girls present, there wasn't a hint of guilt on his face.

He had no idea how long the two of them had been waiting there. He hoped no one had seen them, though if they had, there was nothing he could do about it anyway.

After entering the room, Kamuro Masumi looked around at the layout. It wasn't as messy as she had imagined, though given that school had only been in session for a few days, it wouldn't have been easy to turn the room into a complete disaster anyway.
