The classroom buzzed with excitement at this new aspect of the ‘Ice Princess,’ but they soon seemed to be convinced.
And why was that? This was because the pairing of Komori and Natsukawa was questionable.
There was no way that Shizuku Natsukawa would fall in love with Shota Komori, a man of no merit.
That was the consensus of Sakuranomiya High School.
That’s why, despite the strangeness, came this conclusion.
Shizuku Natsukawa was a sucker for no goods.
However, her servant statement revealed that this theory was wrong.
So Shizuku Natsukawa was an S. She was also a high-spirited woman with the temperament of a young lady like a daughter of a CEO.
So it’s no wonder that Shota Komori was a perfect match for her.
He was an ordinary person, but he was good at ‘reading the atmosphere.’
A convenient slave who would do whatever she wanted. Natsukawa must have wanted such an existence.
Assuming that, it all makes sense. Why else would Komori have been able to stay by her side?
By the way, on a side note, after this day, the number of boys who confessed to Shizuku Natsukawa decreased dramatically.
This was because her tendency to bully the weak was exposed (though of course, a misunderstanding), and it was judged that only an M would be taken seriously.
However, the problem was that the number of confessions from the same s*x had increased. And the majority of them were,
‘Please train me to Onee-sama’s liking!’
and the like.
The fact that Shizuku Natsukawa was bewildered and exhausted by these confessions is another story.
Now, as you can imagine, Takamine was not expecting the servant comment, and was stunned with her mouth hanging open.
“Servant… I see… So a servant, huh…” was all she could repeat.
Her mind seemed to have gone blank.
While no one was able to sort out the raging situation, the one who was most upset was,
(A SERVANTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!? No, no, no, wait a minute, Shizuku Natsukawa! No matter how embarrassed you are to confess, a servant is…)
As you can see, this was Shizuku Natsukawa.
She must be filled with regret over her impossible gaffe.
“Ge…ge-ge-ge…gegege no geboku” (T/N: A reference to Gegege no Kitaro. The geboku at the end means servant.)
(Ahh…! He’s burning white while muttering something about some new Yokai manga! Well, of course he is! Who wouldn’t when suddenly declared as a servant… Okay, let’s just keep this up! Now that it’s come to this, I’ll do it, even if it means becoming a pervert!)
No turning back. That’s what Shizuku Natsukawa decided to do.
“Therefore, can you give me the spot next to him, Takamine-san?”
“”””!?””””
(Seriously, she’s a b***h…! She called the person she’s in love with a servant and then reopened her mouth!? Even I can’t hide my surprise! Well, I guess she has her own reputation to uphold, so she couldn’t confess… It’s a shame, though. If she had been brave enough to tell him how she really felt, the game would have been over. Rather, isn’t it me who barely escaped with my life? Well, what do I do from here…)
Mayuka Takamine kept an eye on the current situation,
(I have the advantage of being a childhood friend, so I can force Natsukawa away with, ‘I won’t allow him to be a servant!’ If I push a little harder, I could probably have lunch alone with Komori. But will Natsukawa really back down? I can see it in her eyes. If so, rather than forcing her away–)
–She glanced at Shota Komori.
(Tch! What the h**l have you been doing sitting around? Although there’s a reason for it, two beautiful girls are fighting over you, you know!? You should look happier than that! Or at least cut in! You’re such a mob!)
She was getting angry. Mayuka Takamine’s veins even emerged on her forehead.
Apparently, she decided to direct her anger at him–
(I don’t like this one bit… Fine. Let’s have a little fun.)
“I can’t allow you to mistreat Sho-chan. I’m never going to leave this seat. And it’s not just Natsukawa-san who made him a bento.”
Takamine, who said this without any hesitation, pulled out a bento box from her bag for all to see.
As soon as she removed the cute wrapping cloth,
“If you want to have lunch together so badly, let’s have Sho-chan compare the taste and decide which bento he wants to eat.”
“That’s what I wish for.”
(No, don’t wish for it, Natsukawa-san!! Rather, what about my consent!? I’d rather you wished for that!)
“Ahh, my stomach is somehow–“
“”You’re not feeling sick!!””
Feeling his life in danger, Komori tried to leave the classroom with a good reason, but it was not to be.
His hands were grabbed by Natsukawa and Takamine. They grabbed Komori’s hands so tightly that they left a handprint afterwards.
(I don’t think it’s the two of you who decide how my stomach feels!?)
