To be honest, Natsume thinks he is a person with a lot of knowledge, but there are some differences between the knowledge and common sense mentioned here, and there are differences.

Ordinary people's views on things tend to be good or bad, but Natsume's views on things are not only good or bad, but also think about the value of existence.

To put it simply, it is whether a thing has an effect on oneself and whether it has any benefits.

Therefore, Natsume, who was looking at the broken faucet in front of him, was thinking about what the greatest benefit his actions would bring to him.

Benefits, human beings will desire and like something.

There is a saying that 'there is no absolute enemy in the world, but there are absolute interests', and as long as there is a good and agreeable interest on both sides, the two can become allies, not enemies.

Thinking about something inconsequential at the moment, Natsume turned on the faucet.

The water that comes out of it is a slightly brownish liquid.

Is the water pipe old? Or is it the water quality in the first place?

If there is no disinfection and precipitation, it should not be like this.

Since he can't solve it himself, Natsume plans to clean up the place where Kurumi feels dirty, after all, his main purpose is this.

Maybe showing the househusband side in front of Kurumi can improve your score and fall in love.

The probability is so low.

Even Natsume's voice thinks that the possibility of falling in love with Kurumi is not high.

It's not that I think Kurumi is bad, and it's not that it's not a compatibility, it's just that Natsume can't understand that kind of thing. Treat the opposite sex as your girlfriend.

Natsume doesn't hate love. It's not that I don't want to be in love. But there is a worrying estrangement in my heart.

"Forget it, Kurumi, where are you talking about? Is something broken? ”

"Yes, it's in the bathroom."

This inn has a hot spring and a private bath, which is a little more advanced than a regular Japanese-style inn.

Walked in with a broom and a mop.

The room was not big and the bathroom was at the end of the hallway.

Open the door, after pressing the switch of the light. Natsume frowned at the current situation.

"Was it an engineering error?"

In the bathroom in front of me, there was a wall where several tiles had all collapsed, scattered on the floor and some dust was also shedding.

Nearly half of the bathroom is covered in rubble and dust.

"It's just a little bit of effort, and there seems to be a sound coming through the compartment."

"So you did it!"

No wonder I felt a tremor before, probably because the mine was destroying this wall.

But what is the sound coming from the cubicle? Don't be sure about that.

Putting the broom and mop aside, Natsume said, pointing to the trash in the bathroom

"Pick up the big rocks first, and then boil the water to wash off the dust, and this broken area needs cement and new tiles to repair, and that's all you can do now."

"Can't you fix it?"

"Of course, I'm just here to clean up."

"I won't give you my clothes as garbage, and I will secretly leave them in my room to mess around."

"What do you think of me?"

"Walking~Sexuality?"

"It's terrifying!"

It's better to say that the people are so scary tonight.

Natsume, as an ordinary sophomore in high school, certainly has the psychology that boys have. But when she said this, she calmed down, could it be that she was the so-called S physique? So not interested in M coping methods?

It's terrifying.

Natsume bent down and began to pick up the rocks in front of him. Due to the loose distribution, it is a bit troublesome to pick up.

"Kurumi, can I ask a question?"

"Excuse me, the color of the measurements and underwear can tell you."

"Who's going to ask that! What is it like for you to be in love and like someone else? ”

"I want to eat him and be together forever."

What a heavy love.

But what's the matter.

Kurumi stood behind Natsume, and then crouched down and began to pick up the tile fragments in front of him.

"I think it's a good thing to fall in love with other people, Natsume, and you must know the reason why you can seal my power."

"That's ......"

"I think you're good, and unlike other humans, you have something that attracts me."

"You don't hesitate to say it."

"These are just for you."

Kurumi is always very strong and takes the initiative to attack, but tonight was different.

As if she had suppressed her emotions, she talked to Natsume in the most normal way.

"So Natsume, the reason you ask me this question is that you haven't been fascinated by me yet?"

"What are you talking about?"

I get it.

Kurumi said this, her expression more serious than ever.

"There should be another girl by your side, although I don't know what happened, but I forgot about that girl, didn't Natsume become anxious because of her?"

“……”

No, it can't be.

Natsume did think about falling in love quickly in order to change the situation of hostility with Hi-Record, but it was impossible to think about it.

After all, the Apocalypse Frame will not allow you to easily complete your tasks.

"Huh?"

Kurumi, who was picking up the fragments of tiles, found that a cut had been cut in his right index finger, Natsume quickly put down the work in his hand, ran to the room to get a tissue, and took Kurumi to rinse the wound with water from the water dispenser and dry it, and then put it on with a band-aid prepared by the drawer to prevent the wound from becoming infected.

It's a small wound, but it's not impossible to deal with it with all your might.

"It should be fine now."

"It's a big fuss."

"Of course, it's not good to have a scar on a pretty finger."

"Thank you."

Just like an ordinary girl, she blushed.

The two looked at each other, and in this space where there were only two people, the figures reflected in each other's pupils attracted their attention.

The light flickered, and the sound of breathing became audible in the silence of the present.

Natsume's right hand grabbed Kurumi's right hand, and finally his head began to faint.

"Ahem, ahem."

Coughing, Natsume estimated that he might have been tricked by that group of female college students just now, and inhaled too much alcohol and smoke.

"Are you alright?"

It was at this time that a slightly noisy sound came from downstairs.

Standing at the window with Kurumi and looking down, he noticed that the students in the class had begun to gather together.

Did something happen?

His gaze moved, and Natsume knew what it was for.

From the billboard held by a classmate, you can see that the woods behind the hotel are the prescribed roads, and the night test of courage has begun. (To be continued......)
