Although Shikime Natsu held the philosophy of "use it early to start the cooldown early," but... this kind of thing really did depend on the timing of its use. It was just like "Flash" in games; once used, you might get caught and killed by the enemy Jungler the very next moment.
When he returned to the dormitory, Shikime Natsu noticed that someone had sent him a message on his phone. It had been sent while he was watching the movie.
Contact: Ryuuen Kakeru.
Oh, it wasn't a cute girl, so it didn't matter. Shikime Natsu felt absolutely no sense of guilt. Besides, the twenty-four-hour cooldown hadn't passed yet, so it was understandable.
What did this guy want with him?
Ryuuen Kakeru: "Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, Keyaki Mall, Karaoke Room XX. A transaction."
Tsk. Clearly not a beautiful young girl, yet he dared to invite him out on a weekend. That was simply too gross.
"Okay."
Of course, Shikime Natsu still replied with an affirmative, even though he sensed falseness in the message Ryuuen Kakeru sent. Where exactly was this falseness? Shikime Natsu wasn't clear on that.
Was it the transaction, or the location?
No, no matter how he thought about it, it had to be the transaction, right? Not trading with him, yet asking him to go to the Karaoke?
He couldn't figure it out.
But forget it, he would know tomorrow.
Shikime Natsu simply washed up and then went to sleep.
The next day, Shikime Natsu arrived at the Karaoke in Keyaki Mall at nine-thirty. As for the room, it hadn't been opened yet, so Shikime Natsu sat on a chair outside to wait.
After all, since it was Ryuuen Kakeru who wanted to trade with him, the cost of the Karaoke room naturally had to be borne by Ryuuen Kakeru. Last time he made a trade, he paid for the room himself. Of course, if it were a cute beautiful girl, that would be a different matter. Oh, and if it were a beautiful girl who needed to be properly disciplined, that would also be a different matter.
After coming to this school, it had to be said that Shikime Natsu really hadn't used a Karaoke box for singing. Basically, they were all used for discussing transactions. The soundproofing performance of these Karaoke rooms was quite good. For example, if a boy was singing quite vigorously inside a private room, basically no loud sound could be heard from the outside.
If one were conversing at a normal volume, it would be even more impossible to be heard.
The only slight downside was that one could see the people inside.
Mm, a boy coming to Karaoke alone early in the morning to sing did look a bit miserable.
Time quickly reached ten-ten. It was already ten minutes past the agreed time, and not even a shadow of Ryuuen Kakeru could be seen. Good, very good. Did that sense of falseness mean he was going to stand him up?
However, even though they hadn't been in contact for long, Shikime Natsu didn't think Ryuuen Kakeru was such a boring person.
As someone who was quite punctual, what Shikime Natsu hated most was the unpunctual behavior of others.
Even the message he sent to the other party remained unread. Ryuuen Kakeru had better not have been able to make it in time because he fell into the artificial lake. Otherwise, for being this unpunctual, he would have to teach him a lesson.
Just as Shikime Natsu stood up, Ryuuen Kakeru and his group arrived slowly.
"Sorry, we're late. You've been waiting long, right?"
Ryuuen Kakeru had a mocking smile on his face.
This guy did it on purpose. Very good.
"No, I just arrived as well."
Shikime Natsu's gaze fell upon Ishizaki Daichi, Yamada Albert, and Ibuki Mio behind Ryuuen Kakeru. He hadn't expected that the people who had conflicts with Ryuuen Kakeru on the first day of school would now all be following by Ryuuen Kakeru's side. Truly good methods.
What about Yamada Albert? This guy clearly looked like he could fight, so how was he also tamed by Ryuuen Kakeru?
Even though Ryuuen Kakeru wasn't a formidable guy either.
"That's good then. I thought I made you wait a long time. The Karaoke rooms are already full, so... how about we change the location to talk?"
There were clearly so many empty Karaoke rooms.
"It seems you have no money, Ryuuen, not even having the points to open a Karaoke room. Fine, let's change the location then."
Shikime Natsu walked to Ryuuen Kakeru's side and laughed softly. Sure enough, just as he guessed, the transaction was fake. No, it should be said that within that short sentence, everything was fake. However... now Shikime Natsu was a bit angry...
"Then thanks for your understanding. Let's go."
Ryuuen Kakeru put his hands in his pockets and ignored Shikime Natsu's ridicule.
The group walked on the street. With Ryuuen Kakeru, Ishizaki Daichi, and Yamada Albert, their appearances were quite fierce, giving them quite the look of thugs.
Shikime Natsu, on the other hand, was good-looking. Surrounded by them, he really looked somewhat out of place.
Not knowing where these guys planned to take him, Shikime Natsu followed them quite naturally. It looked as if he were the boss of this group.
The surrounding students subconsciously distanced themselves. The aura of Ryuuen Kakeru and the others was too intimidating; it really was quite difficult for ordinary people to approach them.
Soon, Shikime Natsu followed Ryuuen Kakeru and the others to the academic area. Since it was the weekend, there was basically no one in the academic area, not even teachers. Of course, the surveillance cameras here were still working normally.
"Ryuuen, what do you plan to say by bringing me here? I don't want to continue attending class on the weekend."
Shikime Natsu spoke casually. A rare weekend had actually been ruined by Ryuuen Kakeru. Originally, maybe there would have been beautiful girls inviting him.
Or he could have taken the initiative to find some beautiful girls. What a pity.
"Relax, we're almost there."
Ryuuen Kakeru spoke without turning his head, continuing to move forward, then walking up the stairs. This direction seemed to be the rooftop.
How nice. The wind on the rooftop in April was still quite strong.
Moreover, if it was the rooftop, even the school's surveillance cameras basically wouldn't be installed in this place. This kind of place was simply a paradise for bad kids.
Looking to the side again, Yamada Albert and Ishizaki Daichi had already surrounded Shikime Natsu from the left and right, appearing to be worried that Shikime Natsu would escape.
"Alright, let's talk about our transaction right here."
Ryuuen Kakeru kicked the door to the rooftop open. For students, this place was also prohibited from entry. Of course, if one wasn't discovered, it didn't count.
When Shikime Natsu walked in, the four people including Ryuuen Kakeru had already surrounded him. If he wanted to escape, it would be very difficult.
Especially with Yamada Albert, this big guy; he would naturally give people a sense of oppression.
"Speak. What is the transaction?"
Shikime Natsu went along with Ryuuen Kakeru's words.
"You are the leader of Class A right now, correct?"
Ryuuen Kakeru didn't directly state his purpose but instead confirmed Shikime Natsu's identity as the leader.
"Of course."
Wasn't this nonsense? He had even led the transaction with Class C.
"Good then. Make everyone in Class A sign a contract with Class C to give Class C twenty thousand personal points per person every month."
