Masuzu Natsukawa was filled with resentment!
"If they were just copying the scene, that would be one thing, but what was with seven or eight people crowding around me at once? I got squeezed right out of there..."
"That's normal. As the saying goes, one monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water together, three monks have no water to drink. There were probably too many boys trying to pursue you, Natsukawa-san, and they all knew the playbook too well. The moment one of them made a move, someone else would come along and sabotage him."

"Is that funny?" Masuzu Natsukawa's lips twitched. "If someone came up to you with a brick in real life, anyone would be startled, wouldn't they?"
