"That's after school this afternoon." Amamiya Natsuki glanced at the time, "Let's go back for the exam."
"We'll talk after school." Fujiwara Chika clasped her hands together, "Oh, by the way, I remember that in the entrance exam rankings, Natsuki-kun was second, only behind Kaguya-chan, right?"
Amamiya Natsuki was expressionless: "Your memory is too good."
"Eh heh, thanks for the compliment."
That's enough, I wasn't complimenting you!
"Speaking of which, Natsuki was always first in his grade in every exam during Middle School." Kitagawa Marin put her right hand on her hip, muttering, "It's just that his personality was gloomy, and he rarely spoke, which made people afraid to approach him."
Amamiya Natsuki looked over in surprise: "How do you know?"
"We were National Middle School classmates, weren't we?" The Blonde Hot Girl's eyes widened, and she pointed to her nose, saying in disbelief, "Natsuki didn't recognize me?"
Amamiya Natsuki hesitated: "…We weren't in the same class, were we?"
"No, I was in Class C."
As expected.
It's normal not to recognize someone if you weren't in the same class, right?
"Eh, eh, what a coincidence, Kaguya-chan has also been first in every exam since childhood." Fujiwara Chika clasped her hands to her chest, her eyes sparkling, "I remember in the entrance ranking, Natsuki-kun and Kaguya-chan were only one point apart, right?"
"Maybe you'll have a chance to catch up to Kaguya-chan in this exam."
Amamiya Natsuki looked at Shinomiya Kaguya, his gaze intense:
"Not catch up, but surpass."
The feeling of losing is quite unpleasant, so he wanted to win back.
People who say rankings don't matter have definitely never been first.
"Commendable courage." Shinomiya Kaguya crossed her right arm over her chest, her wine-red eyes gazing over, a slight smile on her lips, "Since that's the case, then I'll also get a little serious."
"Eh, eh, eh?" Fujiwara Chika was shocked, "Kaguya-chan wasn't serious in previous exams?"
Amamiya Natsuki retorted:
"I only use one hand for every exam."
"So amazing…" Fujiwara Chika was full of admiration, then suddenly realized, "Wait, everyone writes answers with only one hand, right?"
"…"
The daytime exam quickly passed.
Starting tomorrow, it would be Golden Week.
The exam rankings would only be announced after Golden Week, and the competition for the new Student Council president would begin then.
"The exam's over, the test was so hard." Fujiwara Chika looked pitiful, "During the exam just now, I suddenly got so sleepy, I almost didn't finish the test paper. I'm definitely going to fail this exam."
Amamiya Natsuki said upon hearing this:
"Don't worry, you passed."
"Eh, why?"
"People who usually say they failed often end up passing."
Fujiwara Chika quickly put the exam out of her mind, her voice clear and crisp:
"Natsuki-kun, shall we go?"
Amamiya Natsuki nodded and agreed, "Let's go."
The Seize and Eliminate Evil duo, indispensable.
In a sense, this pink-haired girl had already become one of the most important people in the world.
"It's been so long since I've been to an amusement park, I miss it." Mrs. Shimizu put her hands behind her back and looked at her daughter, "Kaguya-chan, do you want to go?"
"I…"
Shinomiya Kaguya's pretty face showed a hint of hesitation.
"Kaguya-chan seems to have a lot of lessons to study every day after school." Fujiwara Chika took over the conversation, "The four of us can go."
"What a pity." Mrs. Shimizu's voice was mournful, "My life's unfulfilled wish to take Kaguya-chan to the amusement park has never been accomplished."
As she spoke, Kitagawa Marin walked in from outside the door, her smile as bright as sunshine, and waved, shouting:
"Let's go, let's go to the amusement park."
Shinomiya Kaguya's gaze sharpened, and she suddenly said:
"I'll go too."
"Eh, Kaguya-chan is going too?" Fujiwara Chika tilted her head and looked over, her tone puzzled, "Don't you have other things to study today?"
"I can study tomorrow, I can change the time." Shinomiya Kaguya's expression was natural, holding her school bag in both hands, she walked to Amamiya Natsuki's side, "Let the driver take us there."
Having a private car to pick them up was naturally better than squeezing onto a train.
Amamiya Natsuki and the three girls walked out of the classroom, along with Mrs. Shimizu, who didn't take up space, and together they went to the school gate to get into the car.
At the same time.
"Miko-chan, look quickly." Yurikawa Hana widened her eyes and quickly pointed to the corner, "It's Natsuki-kun!"
Yotsuya Miko turned her head to look: "I see him."
"Why is Natsuki-kun getting into Kaguya-san's car again?" Yurikawa Hana's tone was worried, and she suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth, whispering, "Natsuki-kun couldn't be cheating, could he?"
Yotsuya Miko: "…"
They weren't even dating, so the word 'cheating' couldn't be used at all!
Sitting with the three girls, Amamiya Natsuki naturally had little to say, only listening to Fujiwara Chika and the Blonde Hot Girl chatting happily.
The journey was silent, and he even felt a little sleepy.
After a short nap, the car had already arrived at the entrance of the amusement park.
The old driver got out of the car, opened the door with white gloves, and then bowed respectfully, standing by the side.
Only after Amamiya Natsuki and the others got out of the car did he drive away.
"Let's go, to the Haunted House!"
Fujiwara Chika extended her right fist.
"Wait a moment." Kitagawa Marin stopped her from the side, "If we go like this, we won't scare anyone. We need to prepare some props first. How does that saying go? A chef who wants to eat meat must first sharpen his knife…"
Amamiya Natsuki said speechlessly:
"To do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools?"
"Exactly, that's the saying." Kitagawa Marin snapped her fingers, a bright smile on her face. This Blonde Hot Girl seemed to love smiling, "In short, before doing anything, you need to do your preparatory work."
"A wig, a white dress, and preferably a mask. That should be enough."
Preparation beforehand was indeed very necessary.
Scaring the staff in the Haunted House was certainly not an easy task.
There was a shopping center not far from the amusement park, and the group went there together, quickly bought the props, and then returned to the amusement park.
"Amusement park, I'm here!" Mrs. Shimizu said with a nostalgic tone, "I remember the last time I came to an amusement park was when I was in National Middle School. So many years have passed in a blink of an eye. I wonder if there are any new rides."
Amamiya Natsuki was queuing to buy tickets, and upon hearing this, he whispered:
"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. The amusement park has been resting on its laurels; there are absolutely no new attractions."
"Eh, that rollercoaster looks so familiar." Mrs. Shimizu pointed with her hand, "It looks like the rollercoaster from the opening of Detective Conan."
You idiot! It's a good thing ordinary people can't hear you, otherwise everyone would have to get off!
"The pirate ship is very interesting, I've always wanted to ride it." Fujiwara Chika leaned over and said, "There's even a Going Merry in the artificial lake in front. Shall we go play together?"
"It's getting late, let's go to the Haunted House to verify first." Amamiya Natsuki said, "You can play slowly after we come out."
"Oh."
Amamiya Natsuki led the girls to the entrance of the Haunted House and began to queue.
After successfully entering the Haunted House, Fujiwara Chika quickly discovered a very important problem.
"…I can't see anything, how am I supposed to scare the staff!"
