Free Web NovelThe four periods in the morning have ended.
Students usher in lunchtime.
A row of osmanthus trees stand outside the club building, Natsuka Yanagimachi sits on a low stool, arms crossed, her long black hair tied into twin tails.
To enhance the cute atmosphere, she intentionally clipped a pink kitty barrette on the right side of her hair.
Because she was inside, the zipper of her jacket wasn't zipped up. With her arms in that pose, her shirt and jacket create a visually striking clash, like a fierce beast about to break free.
"How's the pose?"
"Good."
Hojo Shouko gives a thumbs up, indicating that the look is absolutely fine.
Natsuka Yanagimachi nods, not acting crazy as she usually does in the activity room.
If she wants to pursue Aozawa, she naturally needs to show a bit of gentle, ladylike demeanor.
No one likes a crazy girl!
"Adding a book would be even better."
Hojo Shouko takes out a frequently-read prose poetry collection from her bag.
Natsuka Yanagimachi grabs it with her right hand, half-opens it, but doesn't change the pose of holding her chest.
She wants to showcase her fiery figure, yet also wants to highlight factors such as being artistic, obedient, cute.
In simple terms, she wants everything to converge on herself.
Footsteps are heard outside the window.
Aozawa feels today's Guzheng Club is very quiet, glances out the window and sees Natsuka Yanagimachi sitting there, posing and reading.
More than her figure and expression, Aozawa is surprised that she's actually holding a book, "You're actually reading?!"
Aozawa wonders if he's rushed his morning. He rubs his eyes, looks again, and finds Natsuka Yanagimachi indeed holding a book sitting there.
"Is tomorrow the end of the world?"
"Aozawa-senpai, you're overreacting, can't I read?"
Natsuka Yanagimachi's lips twitch, she closes the book, turns her head, trying to display her sharp, sword-like eyes but the pair of innocent big eyes widen, looking like a silly husky.
Hojo Shouko helps smooth things over: "Aozawa-senpai, Summer Flower does read sometimes."
"Yeah, yeah."
Aozawa casually responds, and then directs his gaze toward the bento, asking: "What's for lunch today?"
"Salmon with eel rice bowl."
Hojo Shouko responds, but she doesn't hand over today's bento, instead holds it firmly, saying: "Aozawa-senpai, if you want to eat, you need to help Summer Flower with something."
"What is it?"
Aozawa's face flashes a look of curiosity.
Natsuka Yanagimachi quickly tosses aside the literary work, pulls out a notebook and pen from the book, with a serious face says: "I recently have a crush on a boy, I want to pursue him.
Specifically asking for your opinion.
Previously, I gave you and Shouko a lot of advice, now it's time for you to repay the favor and act as my advisor."
Aozawa is surprised: "Who did you fall for?"
"Are you curious?"
Natsuka Yanagimachi asks with an enthusiastic expression, hoping he would keep asking.
Aozawa nods: "Yes, I'm curious, who is it?"
"Not telling~"
Natsuka Yanagimachi spreads her hands with a cheeky grin.
Hojo Shouko adds: "Summer Flower is worried that if she fails, we'd laugh at her, so before she succeeds, she doesn't want to say the specific target."
"Oh."
Aozawa still thought about testing new abilities, skips over this topic, asks: "What do you want to ask?"
"I already said, it's about how to pursue a boy."
Natsuka Yanagimachi gets to this point and thinks she should first present her opinion, "My idea is to go straight to the point and confess to him directly."
"Confession should be the horn of victory, not the charge of attack."
Aozawa rolls his eyes at her, teases: "You don't have the courage to do something like that.
It's better to slowly build feelings first.
Understand the boy's likes, then find an excuse to invite him out.
Make good use of the suspension bridge effect."
"Too much to jot down, I'll just record then."
Natsuka Yanagimachi sees he's saying so much, quickly tosses the notebook, obediently takes out her phone, selects the recording app.
"Aozawa-senpai, say it again."
Aozawa can only repeat his words again, adding: "You can invite him to the park's haunted house.
Also, ask me and Hojo Shouko to help create a scary atmosphere.
When he's nervous, you pretend you're scared and snuggle into his arms.
He'll attribute the sudden heartbeat to the little affection rising in his heart."
"By the way, you better use a fragrant shampoo that day, in an embrace at the right height where he can smell the shampoo scent."
This isn't baseless talk from Aozawa, it's purely from his experience.
When on a date with Ayatsuki Ayaka, she jumped into his arms, the shampoo smell was lovely and left a deep impression.
Aozawa rambles on, saying a lot.
After finishing the recording, it's already eleven minutes long.
Seeing time running short, he quickly stops, saying: "That's it for now. freewёbnoνel.com
With the guidance I've given, you have at least a fifty percent chance of success."
Aozawa hands the phone back.
Natsuka Yanagimachi takes it, full of admiration: "Aozawa-senpai, you're really amazing, no wonder you manage multiple relationships."
"Caring for everyone's feelings isn't easy, but as long as there is love, it's worth it."
Aozawa answers earnestly, takes Hojo Shouko's bento, then spends three minutes to refreshen his mouth with her fragrant lips.
He turns away, preparing to head to a parallel world to test his newly acquired superpower.
