Current target: Kushida Kikyo. Academic ability: B Physical ability: B Affability: A Intelligence: B Judgment: B Current Affection Rating: 50
Kushida Kikyo had pretty brown hair cut just past her neck and a slender figure. The front of her uniform bulged, looking completely different from Ibuki and Suzune. Though she could not compare to Honami, she was still well-endowed.
She was leaning forward, looking up at Natsukawa with a smile. This visually emphasized her chest, and though her neatly worn uniform covered it, it could still set the imagination wandering.
Kushida Kikyo:
Why did I feel like he could see right through me?
Still, I'm very confident in my figure. Most male students would be dazed by such a sweet greeting from me, wouldn't they?
He's good-looking, but I've seen plenty like him.
You bastard, hurry up and answer!
Keeping this pose with my back bent is tiring!
Looks like he's just another ordinary guy obsessed with looks. I'm sure I can get information about Horikita Suzune out of him soon.
Her starting affection is actually that high? Is that part of her unique personality?
Normally, someone like Kushida would be hard to become friends with, right? Does she keep her affection for everyone at this level to fulfill her wish of becoming friends with everyone?
After checking the system information, Natsukawa said with a smile:
"Yes, I'm Natsukawa Tatsuya. Did you need something?"
Only then did Kushida Kikyo straighten up. She curled her hands into fists and crossed them in front of her chest, striking a cute pose.
With a gentle smile, she said cheerfully:
"Then I've got the right person, Natsukawa. I'm Kushida Kikyo from Class D, and my goal is to become friends with everyone."
Knowing her personality from the original story, Natsukawa played along with a smile:
"So you're here to make friends with me?"
Kushida nodded and said with feigned shyness:
"Yes. Would you be willing, Natsukawa? We're both first-years."
Natsukawa pretended to think:
"But I'm in Class C. How did you hear about me, Kushida?"
Kushida desperately wanted to know everything about Horikita Suzune. Just earlier, she had spotted Natsukawa talking to Horikita in the crowd.
Kushida suddenly walked over to Natsukawa, hugged one of his arms, and said with a gentle smile:
"Hey! Your good looks have made you pretty popular among the girls, Natsukawa. It's hardly strange that I'd know you."
Kushida Kikyo shook Natsukawa's arm, brushing her chest against him seemingly by accident, and continued cheerfully:
"Natsukawa, we're in the same year. There's nothing strange about becoming friends, right? I'm the sort of person who really wants to make friends with those around me, so I'd like to get to know you as my first friend from another class."
"Please say yes. You look so composed, Natsukawa. You can call me Kushida! I'm sure we'll get along wonderfully."
Kushida:
He was staring earlier, but now he keeps dodging the subject.
Disgusting creep. I'll put up with it for Horikita!
I've never even used this trick on anyone before.
Ding! Affection Rating -20
Huh? She's already trying to seduce me? If not for the Affection Rating, I'd actually have believed her.
"Since you're asking so sweetly, Kushida, I'll agree! We're friends from now on!"
Hearing the answer she wanted, Kushida quickly let go of him and spun cheerfully in place.
"Natsukawa, we're friends now!"
Next, they added each other on their messaging app, and Kushida continued:
"Hey, let me think! You know Horikita Suzune, don't you, Natsukawa?"
"Who's Horikita Suzune?"
You infuriating jerk!
Kushida immediately moved closer again, enticingly patting Natsukawa's palm as she smiled with feigned distress:
"Natsukawa, aren't we friends now? You're really not being honest. I saw Horikita Suzune talking to you here earlier."
Natsukawa smiled with feigned embarrassment:
"Aha, sorry! Are you that interested in Suzune, Kushida?"
Suzune? Calling her so intimately, and you claimed not to know her!
Affection Rating -10
Kushida immediately spoke gently, sounding troubled:
"I've always wanted to make friends with Horikita, so I thought I'd ask whether you knew her, Natsukawa. She likes keeping to herself, so I haven't had a good opportunity to get to know her."
"Oh, I see! Suzune really is like that. You want to make friends with her too, Kushida?"
Ding! Affection Rating +20
Kushida looked at Natsukawa expectantly and said:
"Yes! Could you give me Horikita's messaging account, Natsukawa?"
"No, that's Suzune's private information. Besides, even if I told you, knowing her personality, she wouldn't accept a friend request from a stranger."
Ding! Affection Rating -10.
With no other choice, Kushida took Natsukawa's hand and shook it again, looking at him with gentle, pleading eyes:
"How about this? Could you find some time to invite Horikita out, Natsukawa? If we talked face-to-face, she might agree."
"My dream is to make friends with most people. Horikita is in my class too, but I still haven't properly gotten to know her, and it's really troubling me! You'll agree, won't you, Natsukawa?"
Looking at Kushida's expectant eyes, Natsukawa said with feigned hesitation:
"Hmm, let me think about it!"
Kushida: You damned lecher!
Kushida continued cheerfully, shaking Natsukawa's hand as she spoke:
"I really want to make friends with Horikita, but I haven't found a good way to do it. Could you tell me about her personality? Is she the sort who likes telling her friends about what people around her have done?"
"I just want to understand her personality so I can approach her better and improve my chances of becoming friends."
Natsukawa said with a smile:
"I can't tell you that yet. You'll find out naturally once you become friends with Suzune."
Kushida: Damn it!
Affection Rating -10
Kushida said in distress:
"Come on, not understanding Horikita is exactly my problem. Can you help me, Natsukawa? I can introduce you to some cute girls in our class!"
Unmoved, Natsukawa thought for a moment before saying:
"Hmm, how about this? Could you do me a favor, Kushida? See that bald guy over there? If you get me his contact details for the app, I might try inviting Suzune out! But don't mention me."
"Huh! Really?!!"
Ding! Affection Rating +20 Current Affection Rating: 40
Kushida smiled and let go of Natsukawa's hand.
"You'd better not lie to me, Natsukawa! I'll send you his details later."
Natsukawa also smiled as he replied:
"Of course. You're so cute, Kushida. How could I possibly lie to you?"
"Then it's a deal. Bye, Natsukawa!"
Kushida: What an awful guy. He made me waste so much effort!
But I achieved my goal! As long as I get Natsukawa those contact details, I'll have a chance to get to know that hateful Horikita.
Natsukawa watched her retreating figure.
She sure left quickly. You're so heartless, Kushida. Was all that interaction just now fake?
Hehe, but even if you get them for me, I won't tell you that easily.
