“Are, are you okay?”
Natsumi, wrapped around the waist by a Tentacle Monster, moved and leaped rapidly with Nagumo between the school buildings, finally landing on the cafeteria rooftop.
The girl was very close to the Tentacle Monster.
She even dared to poke and touch it with her fingers.
The texture was very smooth, soft, and springy… It felt very comfortable to touch, and it had warmth.
Indeed, he was very cute.
As for being afraid?
Emmmm, you just get used to it.
Besides, Natsumi felt that Nagumo-kun’s appearance was much better than those human-looking scoundrels.
While observing and touching, she suddenly noticed a wound on one of the Tentacle Monster’s tentacles, bleeding.
The ponytail girl immediately asked nervously.
Even after Nagumo released her, she wasn’t reassured and grabbed the Tentacle Monster.
Her slender, jade-like hand gently stroked it, making Nagumo shiver involuntarily.
Hiss…
“Are you injured?” Actually, the wound on the Tentacle Monster was not very big, comparable to a small cut on a human finger from a kitchen knife.
This was a wound left from the brief confrontation with Matsubara Touka in the restroom earlier.
That girl was quite strong.
Although he seemed to have the upper hand, he did sustain some injuries.
However, those injuries healed very quickly, which is why they weren’t noticed at first.
Such small wounds on the Tentacle Monster could heal in a few minutes, but Natsumi didn’t know that.
Nagumo also didn’t understand why this girl was so nervous and concerned about him.
If he were still in human form, it would be one thing, but he was currently in Tentacle Monster form.
Could he still attract girls?
Alas, being too charming is a bother.
Looking at the beautiful girl, Natsumi, beside him, who rummaged in her pocket for a long time and finally pulled out a bandage, carefully and attentively applied it to Nagumo’s Tentacle Monster.
The moonlight illuminated Natsumi’s exquisite and beautiful face, and her gentle and soft expression made her look even prettier.
Nagumo, with mixed emotions, raised his phone.
This phone was still Natsumi’s.
The girl looked up and saw the words on it.
“Very virtuous, indeed.
I feel like you’ll be a gentle and good wife in the future.”
“Eh?
Eh eh eh—?!”
Natsumi suddenly covered her face with both hands, her cheeks instantly flushing crimson.
“This, Nagumo-kun, you… you’re too direct!
Wife, wife and all that…”
The ponytail girl started to stammer from Nagumo’s words, her eyes darting around, her expression shy, and her heart beating uncontrollably.
Was this the legendary straight shot?
“It’s a pity that a good woman like you wasn’t held onto by that boy named Matsubara Houichi,” Nagumo typed, seemingly oblivious to her shyness and panic. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
Hmm, first, give her a good person card.
“…Actually, you can’t blame him.
After all, too many things happened today, and he was also very confused.
Touka-chan also became like that.
It’s just, some things, once they happen, it’s too late to make amends,” Natsumi sighed for a moment, then quickly smiled again, a bright and radiant smile.
“Let’s not talk about him,” Natsumi didn’t want to talk about her Childhood friend anymore, shaking her head.
Then she looked at the Tentacle Monster beside her with a serious expression, “Nagumo-kun, I haven’t formally thanked you yet.
You saved me again just now… Thank you.”
“If it weren’t for you, I might… Although verbal thanks are a bit insignificant, I still want to say, Arigato—”
After speaking, she continued to show her big smile, “It’s really nice to meet you~”
This girl… In his brief contact with her, Nagumo increasingly felt the girl’s charm.
Most girls, after experiencing so much trouble, almost being desecrated and possessed by their crush’s best friend, not to mention those monsters, would probably have been scared out of their wits, withdrawn, and fearful.
These are all normal situations.
Natsumi could still smile, much stronger than the average girl.
Before Nagumo could reply, his phone suddenly rang.
“Oh?
There’s a signal!
It’s my mom calling!” The surprise came too suddenly.
Natsumi quickly took her phone, fumbling to answer it, “Kaasan?
It’s me, I’m fine, I’m still at school… Is there already rescue?
That’s great…”
Nagumo, who was eavesdropping nearby, was stunned.
Rescue arrived?
Doesn’t that mean the existence of these monsters will be exposed?
Ugh, he didn’t know what kind of world this was.
Perhaps it wasn’t just an ordinary everyday world.
If it’s dangerous, I should be more cautious…
“Nagumo-kun, the signal outside the zone has been restored, and Mom and the police are almost at school,” Natsumi looked at him expectantly, “What, what do you plan to do next?”
What to do?
Of course, continue to gain evolution points!
Before those police arrive, clear out all the weak monsters in the school, otherwise, it might not be so easy to get evolution points later.
His intuition had already detected the police cars approaching from a distance, about to arrive.
“Since someone is coming to save you all, I should leave too.
Goodbye—”
“Wait, Nagumo-kun!” Natsumi quickly spread her arms to block his path, “Are, are you leaving?
Where are you going?”
“To find trouble with those monsters.”
“And then?
Eating, sleeping… Do you have a place to live?”
“No, I’ll figure it out then.”
The girl looked at the Tentacle Monster in front of her, her delicate and beautiful face showing a hint of nervousness and a faint expectation.
Under the moonlight, the beautiful girl and the alien Tentacle Monster stood together.
Although they were two extremely contrasting existences, for some reason, at this moment, they were unexpectedly harmonious.
The moonlight gently shone, reflecting their faces and shadows, beautiful and dreamy, like a painting.
The Tentacle Monster made a move, its tentacles skillfully typing on the phone, then placing the phone screen in front of the girl’s eyes.
Natsumi saw the words on it.
“Don’t leave, will you support me?”
Her heart stirred, and the beautiful girl covered her chest with both hands, instinctively blurting out, “I’ll support you—!”
Nagumo: “…”
“You’ll be very lonely outside, and you might be discovered, which would be very troublesome… And you’ve helped me so much, I want to help you too,” the girl stammered, “Nagumo-kun, if you don’t mind, come to my house.
I, I can support you!”
“That sounds more like keeping a pet.
You’re not going to treat me like a stray kitten abandoned in the wild, are you?” Nagumo was slightly surprised for a few seconds, asking strangely.
“Well, just a little bit, actually.
Mostly, I still want to help you.”
“Just to help me?
To repay a favor?
I thought you liked me.”
Nagumo squinted, beginning to tease.
“No, no, that’s not it.
Repaying a favor is one reason.
I… liking you, or something,” Natsumi, being teased by a Tentacle Monster, surprisingly didn’t find it strange or odd.
Instead, she was flustered by his directness.
Where had Natsumi-san ever encountered such directness?
As for her Childhood friend, Matsubara Houichi, to put it nicely, he was gentle; to put it bluntly, he was indecisive.
Thinking of this, the ponytail girl bit her lip lightly, making up her mind.
She could already see the outline of the police cars.
“I do like, I like the feeling of being with Nagumo-kun.
I feel very safe and warm… Although we haven’t known each other for long, I, I…”
“Woo—!”
The police siren interrupted her words.
Natsumi quickly closed her mouth, her face growing redder and redder, the girl’s shyness fully exposed.
“So, Nagumo-kun, please don’t leave, okay?”
Nagumo secretly regretted it, still looking forward to her next words.
However, there would be plenty of time in the future.
“Okay, since I can eat and drink for free, I certainly won’t refuse.
Natsumi, remember to prepare rich offerings for me—”
“Mm!”
