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 we are entering a story arc where Summer takes place and natsumi is taking the opportunity to get closer to Naegi, so expect a romance to take place, so buckle up, read on and enjoy!

Ch. 23: Shōtai

Several weeks have passed, in which it shows that it is almost summer, and Japan is HEATING UP, and the students of Hope's Peak Academy are looking forward to the upcoming summer vacation, and the scene shifts at the classroom of Class 79, where Natsumi is holding a fan and is flapping it in front of her face as the heat is getting on her nerve, with Kaede Akamatsu cheering her up, saying that once summer vacation starts, she can go with her on a cold getaway, which Natsumi sighed, guessing that her classmate meant that they are going to a mall that has an air conditioner.

"A cold getaway, huh?"

"Of course!"

"You don't mean the mall, right?"

"Um…"

"You just want to go there, right?"

"Well…yeah…"

"I thought so."

"Well…there is a reason why…"

Akamatsu admitted that she do want to go to the mall, saying that aside from the air conditioning, there is also a convention that showcases a lot of pianos, and Natsumi rolled her eyes seeing that Akamatsu wanted to go there just for that, and as she is pondering on whether to accompany her classmate to the mall or not, her other classmate, Kokichi Oma, interjected, telling her that going to the mall would be good for her, saying that it is the best way to COOL OFF, which caused Natsumi to get annoyed at the SHSL President.

"Do you know what you're saying?"

"Yes, my dear."

"Who asks you for your opinion?"

"Well…you've been complaining a lot lately…"

"So?"

"I am offering you an advice."

"Really?"

"Of course."

Oma told Natsumi that as of late she was always complaining about the heat and that she is always HOT-HEADED, so going to the mall would lower the temperature on her head so as not to get OVERHEATED, which caused a vein to pop on her head, and Akamatsu had to interject to keep things calm and urges Oma to stop teasing Natsumi, which he seemed to oblige her request.

"Easy, you two…Oma-kun…"

"Yes…?"

"Please stop teasing Natsumi-chan…"

"Oh, I am not…"

"You were…"

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Oh, well…"

As Oma took out a bottle of Fanta, he began to sip, and while Natsumi stared at him in annoyance, things took a turn as Ibuki Mioda came rushing in, and greeted Akamatsu, in an EXCITED way, which caused Oma to be startled and accidentally spits the contents on Natsumi's face.

"YO! IBUKI-CHAN IS HERE!"

"PPPFFFHHHTTT!"

The rest of Class 79 stared wide-eyed and saw Natsumi BLOW A FUSE as she grabbed Oma by his collar and threatens to beat him up, and yet Oma remained calm and apologizes to her, which did little to calm her down.

"Grr…!"

"Yes…?"

"You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

"No…it was an accident…"

"Are you sure?"

"Mioda-san startled me…so of course I…"

"Want me to jab that bottle on your asshole?"

"Uh-oh…"

Akamatsu tries to calm her classmates down and Ibuki then interjected saying that there is a music contest at the mall and she wanted to invite Akamatsu to join her in forming a band, reasoning that there is a huge prize for the winner, and as Akamatsu is pondering on whether to accept Ibuki's offer, Natsumi sighed as she lets go of Oma and is about to leave when Oma found an invite on the floor and read it, which she stared in surprise and grabbed the invite.

Oma raised an eyebrow seeing her getting flustered and began to use his MANIPULATING side to ask her why is she trying to hide an invite from anyone since it is just a swimming pool resort, and Natsumi blushed as she wanted to keep it a secret, as a flashback scene revealed that one of her clients gave her an invite as gratitude for the Kuzuryuu gang in protecting his business, and Natsumi secretly intended to invite Naegi to tag along as the invite is good for two persons, and as Oma tries to make her spill the beans, Natsumi resisted and threatens to beat him up if he doesn't stop pestering her.

"So, Kuzuryuu-san…what are you intending to do with…"

"None of your business!"

"Oh..?"

"This is between me and only me…so stop pestering me!"

"Hmm…I bet you want to invite a boy and have sex at the pool…but…it is inadvisable…you can't have sex in the pool as the water is made of chlorine…and that would make your vagin…WHOA!"

"You got a death wish, you bottle-drinking brat?! You want me to kill you right now?!"

"Oh dear…"

"GGGRRR…!"

Oma just grinned at the threat but Akamatsu uses her charm to quell off the tension, and Natsumi sighed as she leaves the classroom to cool off, and Akamatsu reprimanded Oma for his behavior though he insisted that he has done nothing wrong, believing that Natsumi should open up a little.

"Oma-kun…you shouldn't piss her off like that!"

"Come on…I did nothing wrong…"

"Why rile her off like that?"

"She needs to open up a little…"

"But not like that!"

"Ho-hum…"

"Really…"

"…"

Akamatsu sighed, and Ibuki asks if she is interested, and the SHSL Pianist said she would think about it as she is unsure if her piano skills would be able to complimenting Ibuki's music style.

At the hallway, you can see Natsumi walking, as she is thinking of how to approach Naegi and invite him to tag along with her to the swimming resort, as she finds herself flustered and hesitating, which she could not believe that she is getting worked up over a plain boy, as in the past she can get someone to do her bidding, and now she is having difficulty in inviting a mere boy to hang out with her at a particular date and time.

By then Naegi passed by and saw her, and he greeted her in which she snapped out of her thoughts, and she blushed deeply at seeing him so suddenly, and looked away, which he asks if there is something wrong and she took a deep breath and told him there is nothing wrong, but then worked up the courage as she asks him if he is free this summer vacation, in which he said he is free and asks her why, and there she told him the reason, showing him the invite.

"…and that's why."

"…"

"Well…?"

"Whoa…"

"?"

"Are you…inviting me…?"

"Y-yeah…"

"…"

Naegi is surprised to hear that she is inviting him to tag along with her to a swimming pool resort, and he asks her if it is okay, which she nodded, and said that the invite can only afford one guest for the owner to bring along and she told him that he is the first person that popped in her head and asks him if he is okay to be invited by her and she waited for his reply.

Naegi thought about it, and seeing that she invited him, and getting a bit drawn to her, Naegi finally accepted her invitation, and she was quite surprised that he accepted, yet she looked away to hide the blush on her cheeks, as she still refused to accept the fact that she is getting drawn to him, yet she thanked him for accepting the invitation, and told him the date and venue, telling him not to worry about other things as she will make the arrangements herself.

"…so leave the rest to me, okay?"

"Um…okay."

"G-good."

"Are you okay, Natsumi-san?"

"Yeah."

"Why are you blushing?"

"Don't ask."

"?"

Nearby, Peko saw and heard it, yet she gave a small smile seeing that Natsumi is changing a bit, as she is starting to gain friends and has no enemies, and there Mahiru Koizumi came and asks Peko if Natsumi is really changing for the better, since she knows that Natsumi is quite a violent girl, but Peko said that Natsumi getting into the main course, getting her own SHSL title, and having friends are proof that she is slowly changing her ways.

"Really, Pekoyama-san?"

"Yes. It is a good thing."

"Well…what if she is just…?"

"No…Natsumi-sama is not using him…I can tell…her feelings toward Naegi-san is genuine."

"I hope you're right."

"Do not worry, Koizumi-san…Natsumi-sama has gradually changed her ways since meeting naegi…and after getting into the main course."

"I suppose…"

"…"

The scene shifts to Naegi and Natsumi, where you can see Naegi thanking her and saw her giving a rather genuine smile, and he complimented her for that, causing her to blush deep and looked away, telling him to stop teasing her, which he denied doing that with such intention, and both Peko and Koizumi were quite surprised to see Natsumi giving such a rare, genuine smile, and Koizumi asks if there is something going on between Natsumi and Naegi, which Peko claims that she is not sure, but if there is, then all the better.

"Pekoyama-san…"

"What?"

"Is she…interested in Naegi?"

"Hmm…"

"?"

"Not sure yet…but if she is…then it is good."

"But…what if…"

"It would be best to let things go along…that way we will know where this relationship would take them to…"

However, Fuyuhiko came, as he is looking for something, and he is also surprised to see his younger sister smiling, and seeing Naegi with her, he gets suspicious and approached the two, with Fuyuhiko glancing at Naegi as he has a feeling that the Luckster may have some ULTERIOR MOTIVE towards Natsumi, and there Peko became worried that tension might take place which may result in an untoward incident inside Hope's Peak.

To Be Continued... .

Hope you liked this chapter, as the romance between the two are starting to kick off…just as summer is right around the corner. The cast of Danganronpa V3 makes another appearance, and Fuyuhiko shows up…expect a tension taking place…
