First off, many thanks to those who reviewed this fic, I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here the story advances further after the last chapter, where Natsumi continues her first day as a main course student.

And finally gets to talk with Naegi...

Well...can't spoil it, so you will have to read on to find out, so buckle up, read on and enjoy!

Ch. 17: Hōkago Kaigi

Several hours later, the scene shifts at the rooftop of Hope's Peak Academy, where you can see Natsumi staring at the sky, her face still flushed after getting her second accidental kiss for the day, and to her bewilderment, she could not muster the will to get angry at Naegi, and she wonder why, and when she tries to forget that incident, Naegi's face popped in to her mind, and she shook her head as she tries to get the image off her head, and now she is confused at the things popping inside her head, and she wondered aloud on why Naegi always appear inside her head and why she could not bring herself to get mad at him.

"Seriously...why does that Naegi keep appearing inside my head?"

By then Yukizome showed up, having observing her for a while and she approached her and placed a hand on the student's shoulder and talked to her, telling her that Naegi is innocent in the incident earlier, which she said that she heard it from Akamatsu, and told her that while unsure, she suggested that Natsumi is slowly developing feelings towards Naegi, and a blushing Natsumi stared at Yukizome, as she is unwilling to admit it. Deep down she is drawn towards the Luckster but is too hesitant to admit and she tried all sorts of alibi just to deny it but Yukizome was sharp enough to rebuke Natsumi's denials.

"Um, Natsumi-chan..."

"You're wrong!"

"But you..."

"I don't like that brat!"

"Natsumi-chan..."

"He's short...skinny...a hentai..."

"There is no denying it...you have fallen for him...there is nothing to be ashamed of...if you really hate him you would have caused a ruckus...but you did not. Its natural that you get drawn to a boy, given that you are at that age now."

"..."

Natsumi went silent as Yukizome smiled after telling her that denying those feelings when they are genuine won't do her good, and advises her to try and befriend Naegi, saying that he is a nice boy as well as he is the one who indirectly helped her find her talent and she suggests to Natsumi to invite and hang out with Naegi so as to get to know more about him, which Natsumi looked away, her face still flushed and is unsure if she should follow that advice.

Yukizome then placed her hands on Natsumi's shoulders and tells her to give it a try saying she has nothing to lose, and then left the scene, which Natsumi glanced at the floor, wondering why is she feeling like this, and is pondering on whether to follow the teacher's advice or not, and she remained at the rooftop for a few more minutes before heading back to her classroom.

Much later, the scene shifts at the hallway where Natsumi left her classroom as it was dismissal time, and as she is walking, Akamatsu accompanied her and invited her to tag along saying that there is a piano convention, which Natsumi sighed saying that she is not a music lover and said she would only get bored, but Akamatsu instead say that Natsumi should develop a hobby such as hanging out at malls and take pictures of anything that interests her, and even suggested taking pictures of Naegi, and this caused the two girls to trade verbal exchanges.

"What was that?"

"Just take a picture of that boy...who knows...it might help..."

"You piano-hentai!"

"What?"

"Why would I do something like that?"

"Why not?"

"That Naegi...he's...what?"

"...got to go...bye-bye and good luck with him, Natsumi-san!"

The bickering stopped when Akamatsu saw someone and smiled as she bid Natsumi good luck and left, leaving Natsumi baffled and she turn around where she saw Naegi standing there, and she blushed at the sight, and Naegi hesitantly approaches her and began apologizing for what happened earlier, and she is taken aback by this and was silent by it, and he thinks that she is upset by it even bowed several times while apologizing, though she just stared at the floor listening to the boy rambling apologies.

"I'm really sorry..."

"..."

"I really am!"

"..."

"I know you're upset about it...I'll do anything if it would make you feel better..."

"..."

"Um..."

"..."

Thinking that she rejected his apologies, Naegi turn around to leave, but then he felt her hand pulling his upper uniform and as he turn around, he saw her holding him while looking away, and though blushing she spoke to him and told him to forget about that incident and said it is fine, which it was Naegi's turn to get drawn to her, seeing how pretty she looked when her facial expression is shown in a neutral way and accidentally complimented her, which she was taken aback.

"What...what was that...?"

"Um...I just said you looked...cute..."

"Seriously?"

"Um...yeah...really."

"..."

"Um...are you...?"

"Is that a compliment?"

"Yes...it is..."

Natsumi was taken by surprise at being complimented by Naegi, as this was the first time that she was complimented by a boy and she is unsure whether to answer back yet deep inside she was quite touched, and flattered, and this made her blush even more, and she is rendered speechless at this and she mentally wondered why she could not intimidate him as she did to Sato in the past, and is beginning to wonder if she is getting drawn to Naegi or not.

By then something random came to her head, and without thinking or realizing, she invited him to hang out with her at a snack bar, and upon realizing what she just said, she is about to take back her word when Naegi responded and said that it is okay with him, and she stared wide-eyed seeing that he accepted it even though what she said was accidental.

"What? Are you sure?"

"Yeah...if that is what you want..."

"So you're fine with hanging out with me?"

"Yeah...if its fine with you..."

"..."

"Um...Kuzuryuu-san?"

"..."

"Are you okay?"

She never thought something like this would happen, but then she recalled what Yukizome told her earlier about getting to know more about Naegi and realized that this is it, and seeing that there is no turning back, she took a deep breath and told him that they are leaving so Naegi went along with her as they left the academy, and as they walked together, Naegi was acting normally though he was secretly staring at Natsumi seeing how cute she looked, and then looked ahead.

Natsumi was silent as she is trying not to give herself away yet she stole glances at Naegi before looking away, and she could not believe she is getting drawn to a mere plain boy, and as they passed by the gate, they were being watched by several reserve course students, as they could not believe that Natsumi was drafted to the main course while others did not believe that Naegi's LUCKSTER title is a talent and they whispered to themselves that those two have no right being in the main course.

"That Kuzuryuu..."

"How did she got into the main course...?"

"And that other guy...is he for real?"

"SHSL Luckster...bullshit! Its just an excuse!"

"We ought to protest!"

"Lets chase them out of this academy..."

"Yeah...so it'll be vacant and we can take their places..."

"Right..."

-x-

Back inside the academy, Fuyuhiko was quite concerned when told by Akamatsu that Natsumi had left with Naegi, and Peko watches on as he demanded to know where his sister went and why is she with Naegi, though Akamatsu assured to him that she is in GOOD HANDS, something that Fuyihiko is not sure and said he does not trust him after GIVING Natsumi two kisses which Akamatsu reiterated that it was accidental and that it was Natsumi who gave the kisses to Naegi.

"But Kuzuryuu-san...there is no need for you to..."

"I won't give a damn! My sister is with that lecher and I will not let him have his way with her!"

"You should calm down. Naegi-san is..."

"I don't trust him!"

"Give him a chance. I think hr just wants to be friends with her."

"Well I think he wants to DEFLOWER her...and if that is what his intentions are, then I'm going to castrate him!"

"Whoa...easy...you getting a bit paranoid..."

"So what if I am?"

Peko could only watch and though quite concerned, she felt that Natsumi is in good hands as she believe that Naegi is not a bad person, and by then Yukizome came and asks Fuyuhiko what is wrong, and after hearing it, she smiled as she told her student that Natsumi will be fine since she is with Naegi and that it is okay for her to hang out with him because it is normal for her to socialize with a boy, though Fuyuhiko is still worried yet Yukizome pointed out this is a good way for her to make friends, and Naegi is perfect for this as he is the reason why she found her hidden talent and she just want to get to know him, and assured to Fuyuhiko that Natsumi will be okay.

"...so that is what I think..."

"But, sensei...I..."

"Don't worry...Naegi-kun will not do anything to your sister."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Uh-huh. Trust me...your sister is in good hands."

"..."

"It will be okay, Fuyihiko-kun."

"..."

Peko then placed a hand on his shoulders, then whispered to him asking if he wants her to go and find the two and keep an eye on them just in case, which he whispered back, agreeing with her suggestion and instructed her to make a move should she feels that Natsumi is being threatened, though Peko asks if it is necessary as she finds Nargi HARMLESS, but he insisted that she do as told for Natsumi's sake, which Peko reluctantly accepted, and left.

Yukizome told Fuyuhiko that he should not worry too much since his sister is at that age now and can take care of herself, though he pointed out that being sexually assaulted by the expelled students and being insulted by the recently fired nurse, Natsumi can still get in to trouble but Yukizome then made Fuyuhiko promise her not to jump to conclusion and at least talk to Naegi regarding Natsumi, which Fuyuhiko is not quite receptive to the suggestion but nevertheless did as told seeing that she is his teacher.

"...so promise me, okay...?"

"But...sensei..."

"Promise me."

"..."

"Kuzuryuu-kun?"

"Fine...I promise."

"Good."

"..."

After this, Yukizome left and Fuyuhiko is left alone and he wondered if he did the right thing, and hoped that Peko finds the two and keep an eye on them as he still does not trust Naegi in regards to Natsumi and he hoped that she does not get in to any trouble now that she is a main course student and not let that fact get to her head. As Fuyuhiko left, he passed by the school gate where he saw Sato shaking Hinata by his collar babbling non-stop about Koizumi being absent and suspected that Natsumi scared her away and took her spot which she became a main course student, and Hinata tries to calm her down, with little success.

"Stop thinking like that, Sato-san..."

"But...Koizumi did not answer my calls...she did not show up for lunch! Something must have happened to her!"

"We don't know if..."

"No...Kuzuryuu did something...I'm sure of it!"

"Calm down, Sato..."

"How can I calm down when...!"

"We don't know what happened to Koizumi-san...maybe you should wait for..."

"What do you know? What if..."

Fuyuhiko sighed seeing that Natsumi has made quite a few problems during her time as a reserve course student, and he approached Sato and told her that though Koizumi is absent, he pointed out that Natsumi did nothing to her and revealed that Natsumi is in a different section and suggested to Sato to call Koizumi on her cellphone, in which she said that Koizumi did not answer her calls, and he said that she should visit her house instead so as to be sure.

Sato did not trust Fuyuhiko since he is Natsumi's brother, and she asks him if he is covering for Natsumi which he flatly deny, and told Sato not to assume such things without proof and told her to visit Koizumi at her house so as to know why she is absent, and then left, and Sato is still distrustful for she is worried about Koizumi, but Hinata sighed and told her to stop worrying, and by then Nanami came and invited him to hang out with her at an arcade, pulling him along and both left.

Sato is now alone and pondered on what to do if she should go see Koizumi at her house right away or wait for tomorrow to see if her friend would attend class the next day. After that Sato left and went home.
