Chapter 167

"Better than any cream puff I've eaten since I was a child!"

"Maybe you can make a fortune just by selling cream puffs in the future, Natsume-kun!"

Natsume Chikage laughed:

"It's not as exaggerated as you say."

Akita Sana looked at Natsume Chikage's smile, and couldn't help but blush and have a racing heart.

She pondered to herself that Natsume Chikage was already stunning up close, and even more charming when he smiled!

At this moment, she even had a thought: even if Natsume Chikage's family was really in debt, it didn't matter; maybe she could ask her father if there was any way to help pay it off.

However, she wasn't sure if Natsume Chikage's family was really heavily in debt.

Would it be too presumptuous to ask such a question directly now?

Anyone would be unhappy if asked such a private topic.

Akita Sana had already said the wrong thing twice in a row, and now she really didn't dare to speak rashly again.

She decided to wait for an opportunity to ask later.

The two soon walked to the shoe locker area.

Natsume Chikage looked at his shoe locker, remembering that he had specifically written a note yesterday saying "I have no intention of dating, and I cannot respond, so please don't put any more love letters in here" and stuck it in the locker.

Presumably, the girls who saw this note wouldn't stuff love letters in anymore.

Just as he was thinking this—

"Eek—"

The shoe locker door was pulled open.

Whoosh—love letters fell like snowflakes.

There were about twenty yesterday, and today there were nearly thirty.

Akita Sana witnessed this scene and was stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

How many days had it been since school started, and there were already more than thirty love letters in the shoe locker?

This wasn't one or two, it was nearly thirty!

You know, even the handsome guy she knew, "Shankou Hakuta", was a representative of the first-year freshmen.

But when she, Kondo Miki, and Shankou Hakuta went to school together yesterday, she didn't see a single love letter in his shoe locker.

But Natsume Chikage had more than thirty?

Was the gap between handsome guys really this big?

But thinking about it carefully, it made sense.

Shankou Hakuta belonged to the ordinary level of handsome.

And Natsume Chikage was someone who couldn't be simply described by the word "handsome".

Akita Sana knew that she was a super face-con, and she wouldn't even bother to look at boys with slightly worse looks.

Since she was a child, the boys who could really enter her eyes were basically only those stars that were difficult for ordinary people to reach, and there were only three of them.

Natsume Chikage was someone who couldn't even be compared to the three stars she thought were the most handsome.

But it didn't matter if there were many rivals; it wasn't a big problem!

She felt that she would definitely win!

Her best friend was Natsume Chikage's childhood friend and the person who knew him best in school.

As long as she asked Kondo Miki for help, she would definitely be able to easily win over Natsume Chikage!

And Natsume Chikage looked at this stack of love letters and was silent for a long time.

He really couldn't understand why he had clearly posted a "notice" in the shoe locker, but there were still love letters?

Even if there were, why were there more every day?!

Could it be that the "notice" had been taken away by someone?

Or did they just stuff them in without even looking?

With this question, he took out all the love letters first, and then looked at the "notice" stuck deep in the shoe locker.

Looking at it, he was stunned.

He saw that the "notice—「I have no intention of dating, and I cannot respond, so please don't put any more love letters in here! 」" was intact.

But there were many messages written by girls on it:

「No, you can! 」

「How do you know we aren't a good match without trying? 」

「As long as you date me, you will find that I can satisfy whatever you want! 」

「You're already so handsome, it's really a pity not to date. Try it with me, your senior! 」

「Even if we don't date, a simple connection is fine. There is a contact number on the love letter I wrote. If you need it, call me anytime, I can come out anytime! 」

「I can wait for you, even starting as friends is fine, but I don't want it to end before it even starts. I hope you can give me a chance to get to know each other! 」

「Do you already have a girlfriend, which is why you don't want to date? If so, it's fine if I'm the minor one, can you give me a chance…」

Natsume Chikage fell into a long silence, never expecting that the "notice" not only had no effect, but instead became their message board in disguise.

Thinking of this, his mood was complicated, and he didn't know whether to take down the "notice" or keep it.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to keep it for now.

After all, there would always be girls who would be persuaded to give up by this "notice".

One persuaded to give up is one less…

The scene of a large number of love letters pouring out of Natsume Chikage's shoe locker was also seen by the boys around, and they were all stunned.

They were both envious and jealous, wishing they could ask God: why did you mold Natsume Chikage so perfectly, but make us so perfunctorily?

Natsume Chikage changed into his indoor shoes and helplessly stuffed all the love letters into his schoolbag.

But he found that the love letters from the past few days were still in his schoolbag, and he had forgotten to take them home.

Now that all the love letters were piled together, they almost filled the entire schoolbag…

Looking at this scene, he shook his head helplessly, changed his shoes, and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Akita Sana immediately followed, wanting to continue talking to get closer.

Just then—

Sakai Shion, who also witnessed the grand occasion of love letters in Natsume Chikage's shoe locker, called him:

"Natsume-kun, come here for a second."

Natsume Chikage stopped:

"Sakai-sensei, is something the matter?"

Sakai Shion pointed to the boxes of materials placed on the side:

"Come and help me move some materials to the classroom office."

Natsume Chikage didn't want to do chores for no reason and was about to find an excuse to push it off:

"I…"

Before he could finish, Sakai Shion interrupted him.

Her cold and beautiful face frowned slightly:

"Don't make excuses!"

"If you want to ask for leave next time, move faster."

"Ask the classmate beside you to help send the schoolbag back."

After speaking, she pointed to the boys who were giggling on the side and said coldly:

"You guys too, come over and help move things."

Those boys couldn't laugh anymore.

Seeing this, Natsume Chikage had to accept his fate and help.

After all, he really needed to ask the teacher for leave in the future.

"Akita-san, can I trouble you to help me take the schoolbag back to the classroom?"

Although Akita Sana regretted not being able to walk back to the classroom with Natsume Chikage, it was even better to be able to help him!

She took the schoolbag excitedly:

"Mm-hmm, leave it to me!"
