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 finally gets to talk with Naegi...on a date...
Well...can't spoil it, so you will have to read on to find out, so buckle up, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 18: Hajimete no Dēto
The scene shifts at the streets where Nanami and Hinata are walking as they are heading towards a local arcade where she said that a new fighting game is being launched, and though Hinata said he is not good in that genre, Nanami said that all he has to do is practice and he will be fine, and as the two are walking by, they passed by a railing where several main course students from Hope's Peak are hanging out, and they seemingly resented Nanami hanging out with a WEED like Hinata and they taunted her for being an ACADEMIC TRAITOR and told her to go study at the reserve course.
"That bitch..."
"Yeah, the video game freak..."
"She makes me puke..."
"I agree...hanging out with a WEED from the reserve course..."
"Hey, reserve course shit-head!"
"Know your place!"
"You don't belong at Hope's Peak like us!"
"Yeah...get lost, you WEED!"
Hinata glared at the main course students and is willing to confront them but Nanami held him back and told him to ignore them, and though he wanted to confront them, he took her her advise and they kept going and went on their way, and yet the main course students were eyeing on the two feeling that Nanami has stooped so low by hanging out with a reserve course student like Hinata, until another main course student came and told them that he happened to saw another main course student hanging within a nearby snackbar, and showed them the picture he took on his smartphone, in which the students in question turn out to be Naegi and Natsumi, and the main course students stared at the picture with pure malice and disdain, as they still could not believe that a reserve course student like Natsumi was transferred to the main course while they believe that Naegi's talent us pure fraud.
"I don't believe this...!"
"That bitch from tne reserve course...how did she ended up becoming a main course?"
"I wonder..."
"Maybe she bribed the staff...yeah, that might be it! She's with the yakuza!"
"And that pipsqueak...he's just a faker! SHSL Luckster...bullshit!"
"Boss...what should we do?"
"Yeah, those two are eyesores!"
"..."
The leader of the group then suggested that they watch them and see where this would lead to and then confront them at a vacant area which the rest agreed and they all left and head to the snackbar where Naegi and Natsumi are, intending to follow their every move and see if they could intimidate them into quitting Hope's Peak, or if necessary, disable them to the point that they could no longer attend classes.
-x-
Later, the scene shifts at a snackbar where Naegi and Natsumi arrived and he wondered where they should go seeing that the place is full of customers, and Natsumi looked around and saw a snackbar that has a vacant table and seats, so she told Naegi to save that spot for them which he did, and he waited for a minute before Natsumi came, and she asks him what snacks he would like to order, and Naegi suggested hotdog and a sprite and he volunteered to get the order, and she just nodded as she gave him the money while telling him the food she want to order, and she took the seat.
At the counter Naegi gave his orders to the cashier and gave him the money, and while waiting for the food to arrive, the cashier noticed Natsumi, seeing how cute she looked and complimented Naegi for having such a cute girlfriend, which Naegi blushed as he felt that the cashier misunderstood what he saw and tries to correct him, though the cashier advised Naegi to woo her saying that the Luckster shouldn't pass up such an opportunity which made the Luckster blush even more.
"Eh...? But she's not..."
"No need to be shy..."
"But..."
"Coming across a cute girl like her is rare to appear, so go woo her."
"Um...actually she is..."
"Believe me, kid...I got a good intuition...she's perfect for you."
"Um..."
"You should go for it, kid...you could get LUCKY..."
By then the food arrived which Naegi took them and gave him the payment and left, and he took a deep breath as he does not want Natsumi to misunderstood what went on, and he arrived at the table where she is waiting, but then he sweat-dropped seeing that she is staring suspiciously at him, he just laughed nervously gave her the food and drink she ordered and sat on the seat. Natsumi is still staring at him and began asking him what the cashier said to him as she saw the cashier whispering to Nargi and staring at her.
Naegi told Natsumi that the cashier mistook her as Naegi's girlfriend and he tries to correct the fact yet Naegi said that the cashier would not take his word for it. Natsumi blushed at hearing this and looked away and told Naegi to ignore what the cashier said and she grabbed her food and began eating, which he did the same, and while eating, Naegi felt the awkward silence and decided to start a conversation by asking how her first day as a main course student went, and she blushed again as she recalled the awkward moments that happened during the day yet she said things went well but said she was quite disappointed that she was not on the same section as Fuyuhiko.
"...and that's that."
"..."
"Anything else you want to ask?"
"Actually, Kuzuryuu-san..."
"Just call me Natsumi."
"Oh, okay, Natsumi-san...you should not feel bad about it."
"Huh...?"
"You see..."
Naegi stared at her and can tell why, and he advised her to accept things saying that her being sorted to Class 79 is a blessing saying that she gets to be a main course student in her own right, having found a friend in Kaede Akamatsu, having found her own talent and she can shine on her own, in which she can set out to prove herself as a main course student and assured to her that her brother would be proud of her. Naegi said that it would be better if she and Fuyuhiko remain in seoarate sections so that both can achieve success on their own.
Though Natsumi seemed to resent this, Naegi said that both being siblings on the main course is what matters and that they can see each other during breaks and lunchtime, so he told her that her being sorted to a different section is not so bad. Naegi used his optimism to lift her spirits, which seemed to work as she began considering his advice, and yet she wondered why he is so optimistic since he appeared to be such an ordinary boy.
Meanwhile, the main course students followed Naegi and Natsumi, and secretly watched them as they overheard the conversation, and they dismisses it as trash, since they see them as nothing more than being a pair of eyesore, and the posse suggested that they attack them when they pass by a place where there are no witnesses, so that the two would be intimidated into quitting Hope's Peak which the leader liked the idea.
"...and that's what we are gonna do."
"Wow..."
"Great idea, boss."
"That should be the way..."
"And those two will soon quit Hope's Peak."
"I know, right?"
"Then lets do it."
"Yeah."
As the posse are about to carry out their plans, they were greeted by Pekoyama, glaring at them after overhearing their plans in attempting to harm Natsumi, and she uses her bamboo sword to disable them and have them placed inside a parked garbage truck, where minutes later the truck left carrying the unconscious main course students. Pekoyama then secretly watches Natsumi having her date with Naegi as she observes the two from a distance and to see if Naegi would treat Natsumi right.
Meanwhile, Naegi continued to talk to Natsumi, and thanks to his optimism and humbleness, Natsumi slowly felt a bit comfortable towards Naegi though she is still at times conscious towards him, but then his younger sister Komaru passes by and greeted her elder brother, which the siblings shared a moment, in which she told him that she is meeting with her classmates later and he told his younger sister not to stay out late which she nodded.
"Okay, but don't stay out to late, okay?"
"Sure."
"And call me if you encounter some trouble."
"Okay."
"Good."
"Got to go...bye-bye, onii-chan!"
"See you later, Komaru."
"Sure!"
Natsumi watches the siblings hugging before Komaru left, which made her feel a bit down as it reminded her that she also felt the need to be close to her elder brother, and Naegi noticed it and assured to her that her brother cared deeply for her and that she can be with Fuyuhiko in another way, which made Natsumi stare at Naegi in awe, not noticing that he placed his hands on her shoulders as a way to give her assurances.
Pekoyama saw the scene and is considering going there to disable him with her sword, but seeing how he handled Natsumi, as well as seeing that there was no malicious intent, Pekoyama remained hidden, but then Fuyuhiko showed up, and saw Naegi's hands on Natsumi's shoulders, in which he misunderstood the scene and went ballistic and he grabbed Naegi by his collar and demanded an explanation, believing that he is making a move on her which the Luckster denies.
"Hey, you!"
"Huh?"
"What are you trying to do?"
"What...?"
"Are you trying to make a move on my sister?"
"No...you..."
"Don't lie! I saw it...you're trying to...!"
"You're wrong!"
Naegi honestly explained to Fuyihiko about what he is doing, yet the SHSL Gangster did not believe him and threatened Naegi if he tries to touch Natsumi again like that, and Natsumi in turn grabbed her elder brother, locking him in an headlock and told him to knock it off, saying that Naegi did not do anything indecent to her and assured to him that Naegi is completely harmless, which Fuyuhiko stared wide-eyed in surprise.
He got off from his sister's arms and glanced at Naegi from head to toe, then glanced at Natsumi again and asks her why is she defending such a plain boy, saying that he does not suit her as a suitor which Natsumi blushed deeply and this caused the siblings to bicker loudly much to Naegi's bewilderment as he sweat-dropped at seeing the two bickering non-stop.
"WHAT WAS THAT, FRECKLE-FACE?!"
"FRECKLE-FACE?!"
"WHO TOLD YOU ABOUT NAEGI BEING MY SUITOR?!"
"THEN WHY ARE YOU LETTING HIM TOUCH YOU LIKE THAT?!"
"HE...HE WAS JUST GIVING ME SOME ADVICE! THAT'S ALL! SO STOP ASSUMING THINGS!"
"I DON'T TRUST THIS GUY! HE COULD BE A HENTAI!"
"HE'S NOT! AND LOOK WHO'S TALKING...YOU WERE EVEN RUBBING YOUR "PEE-PEE" WHILE READING A PORN MAGAZINE INSIDE YOUR ROOM!"
"HEY! DON'T BRING THAT UP IN PUBLIC!"
By then Pekoyama came out from her hiding place and approached Fuyuhiko and advises him that they need to go home, and Fuyuhiko sighed as he tells Natsumi that they are heading home, and she just nodded in annoyance, and she began to pick up her bag, but then she approached Naegi and thanked him for hanging out with her which he smiled and said it was nothing, and Natsumi blushed again at seeing him smile, and being close to him, she stared at him uncharacteristically which caused Fuyuhiko to go ballistic again and accuses Naegi of HYPNOTIZING Natsumi, which he denies it.
"Hey, you!"
"Huh?"
"What are you trying to do?"
"What...?"
"Laying your hands on my sister is one thing...and now you are trying to HYPNOTIZE her?"
"No...you..."
"Don't lie! I saw it...you're trying to seduce her! I'm not going to let a guy like you take her to bed!"
"You're wrong!"
As Fuyuhiko continued to rant towards Naegi, Natsumi and Pekoyama carried him away as the trio left, and Naegi sighed as he decided to go home though he felt that something good happened today, and by then he started to feel that he is getting somewhat attracted towards Natsumi and wondered where this would lead once the next coming days approaches.
To Be Continued... .
