Shikime Natsu arrived at Keyaki Mall ahead of schedule, reaching his destination at seven in the evening. There were still quite a few students around; since it was the weekend, the number of students out at night was significantly higher than usual.
During the weekend, most clubs generally had no activities, except for those participating in competitions. According to information Shikime Natsu obtained from Totsuka Yahiko, the Tennis Club would even leave the school grounds for matches. It seemed that this so-called closed school wasn't entirely sealed off after all.
About ten minutes later, Shikime Natsu noticed Kamuro Masumi's figure. When she saw him, she was evidently stunned for a moment before walking quickly in his direction.
Since it wasn't a school day, Kamuro Masumi wasn't wearing that wine-red uniform. She had changed into a loose black T-shirt. Although the T-shirt looked oversized, its texture was softer than the uniform, perfectly outlining the fullness of the girl's chest—it was unexpectedly large.
As for her lower half, she wore a white skirt. Her entire outfit consisted only of simple black and white, without any superfluous or garish colors. It had to be said that this ensemble suited Kamuro Masumi quite well.
Thinking back, he had seen the daily casual wear of three beautiful girls throughout the day today. One could only say that girls really knew how to dress up; even Kamuro Masumi looked quite fitting in such simple clothing.
"Didn't we say to meet at seven-thirty?"
Kamuro Masumi looked at Shikime Natsu with some dissatisfaction. Shikime Natsu had arrived half an hour early, which meant that even though she had arrived early herself, it was equivalent to being late.
"Mn, I didn't expect you to be early too. Good job."
Shikime Natsu gave Kamuro Masumi a thumbs-up, only to receive an eye-roll from the girl.
"There are still fifty minutes before the movie starts. Let's go buy some hot drinks first," Kamuro Masumi said, her gaze scanning the surroundings. The night air was slightly cooler compared to the morning, so a hot drink would be perfect to warm up.
"True enough."
Shikime Natsu nodded and went with Kamuro Masumi to the vending machines. There were quite a few hot drinks available, including coffee, but those coffees tended to be on the bitter side. Shikime Natsu didn't like them, so he bought a sweet hot drink.
"There are three movies showing tonight. Which one do you plan to watch?"
Shikime Natsu soon looked at the poster to the side. He had to admit that watching movies within this school was much more convenient than outside. Outside, movie theaters weren't everywhere, and most of the time one had to take a train. But here, it was different; a short walk was all it took.
"Hmm... I think I'll watch this one."
Kamuro Masumi hesitated for a moment. It was her first time coming out to watch a movie with a boy. Actually, coming to the movie theater was a first for Kamuro Masumi in general. After all, she had basically been a loner in the past.
It was only after coming to this school that she met such a strange guy—someone who easily saw through her, didn't despise her, and seemed to... care about her.
"Okay, then I'll watch this one. Let's meet back here after we finish watching," Shikime Natsu said with a smile.
???
Hearing Shikime Natsu's words, Kamuro Masumi's entire brain short-circuited directly. Wait, is this right?
Two people coming to the movie theater together, and it really meant just coming to the theater? To watch different movies?
"Are you serious, you guy?"
Kamuro Masumi couldn't help but speak up, her exquisite little face full of a "Are you kidding me?" expression.
"Of course I'm not serious. It's rare for Masumi to ask me out for a movie; how could I possibly abandon Masumi to watch a movie alone?"
Shikime Natsu smiled at Kamuro Masumi's little expression. His goal had been achieved.
"You guy..."
Looking at Shikime Natsu's appearance, Kamuro Masumi couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. This guy really was unreliable. Of course, she didn't hate it, though...
The three movies tonight were an action film, a mystery film, and a sci-fi film. Kamuro Masumi chose the mystery film. Actually, Shikime Natsu was quite curious—if there had been a romance movie on the schedule today, would Kamuro Masumi have chosen it?
After all, unlike other movies, when watching a romance film, the little movements between couples are always extra frequent. Even if they aren't a couple, it's quite easy for hearts to go dokidoki while watching a romance movie, leading to heating up feelings. Mn, that's how it is in gal games.
As for a mystery film... could feelings heat up?
Of course, whether feelings heat up or not depends on the two people; otherwise, watching anything is useless.
"It's about time. Let's go."
Shikime Natsu returned holding a large bucket of popcorn. One person definitely couldn't finish it; this large portion was at least for two people.
"Mn."
The movie hadn't started playing yet, but the inside of the theater was already pitch black. The two quickly found their seats.
"Here, share with you."
Shikime Natsu quite generously placed the popcorn between the two of them. The best partner for a movie had to be popcorn.
Before long, the movie began. The dim room gained a little bit of light. The intensity of this light wasn't high, just enough to see the things on the screen clearly, as well as the face of the person next to you. At least in Shikime Natsu's eyes, Kamuro Masumi's face was clearly visible.
Of course, if he wanted to see her expression clearly, he would need to lean in a bit closer.
If he leaned too close, the girl's face would definitely turn red as an apple. Naturally, even if the one here wasn't Kamuro Masumi but a beautiful girl like Mei-Yu Wang, she would definitely blush too. This was Shikime Natsu's absolute confidence in his own modeling.
As for the likes of Kushida Kikyou, Horikita Suzune, or Sakayanagi Arisu... mn, that really was hard to say.
Those beautiful girls all had major issues and couldn't be judged by common sense.
Although they were watching a movie, Kamuro Masumi placed all her attention on her peripheral vision. This guy really was just watching the movie.
Of course, they had agreed to watch a movie, but if it was really just watching a movie, the girl's complex little thoughts were hard to satisfy.
Could it be... her choice was wrong?
When watching a movie, one basically stays quiet, without even basic communication. And it was a mystery film, too.
If it were a romance film, feelings could heat up while watching. If it were a horror film, a girl could also use the excuse of "it's so scary" to throw herself into the boy's arms. Mn, Kamuro Masumi definitely couldn't do something like that.
But... no matter how she thought about it, it was this guy's fault. If the whole day had been left to her, there wouldn't have been such an abrupt event as just watching a movie.
Thinking about it, if they had played all day and ended with a movie, that would have been completely fine. But... starting and ending with a mystery film felt weird after all.
Kamuro Masumi's attention wasn't on the movie but on Shikime Natsu. Shikime Natsu was eating popcorn while watching the movie, looking quite focused.
"Ah~"
Shikime Natsu naturally sensed the girl's gaze and had a pretty good idea of her little thoughts. This was the successful experience the gal games had given him. Shikime Natsu picked up a small piece of popcorn and held it to Kamuro Masumi's lips.
Being suddenly fed by Shikime Natsu, Kamuro Masumi's entire small face instantly turned bright red. Was this guy really this bold?
"No need, I can eat by myself."
Kamuro Masumi lowered her voice as much as possible to suppress the shyness in her heart, directly taking a piece from the popcorn bucket beside her and quickly stuffing it into her mouth.
But after eating it, Kamuro Masumi felt a wave of regret. Kamuro Masumi, oh Kamuro Masumi, what on earth are you doing? Wasn't this a rare opportunity?
Perhaps she had imagined such a scene, but when it actually happened, the girl's inherent personality still took the dominant advantage, and she subconsciously chose to reject it.
"Ah~"
However, Shikime Natsu didn't move his hand away. Instead, he looked at Kamuro Masumi with interest, seemingly not planning to end it.
Fortunately, there weren't many people watching the movie today, especially for a weekend mystery film. The seats around them were basically empty.
Since Shikime Natsu was being so forceful, she could only accept it to prevent this guy from doing something even more excessive.
She slightly opened her mouth, waiting for Shikime Natsu's feeding.
The popcorn piece was small, so naturally, during the feeding, he accidentally touched the girl's soft lips. The girl naturally felt it too; her pearly white teeth lightly bit the popcorn, and then she quickly pulled away from Shikime Natsu.
Pity, it was just a momentary touch. If only it lasted a bit longer, Shikime Natsu sighed slightly in his heart. It was my first time touching them too.
After a while, Kamuro Masumi held a piece of popcorn. She didn't put it in her own mouth but stared straight at Shikime Natsu.
Seeing this scene, Shikime Natsu revealed a smile and then very cooperatively opened his mouth.
He actually knew what I wanted to do?
Kamuro Masumi couldn't help but freeze for a moment, but... the girl gently placed the popcorn into Shikime Natsu's mouth.
"We're even..."
The girl's voice was very small, even smaller than the sound a mosquito makes.
Following that, the two took turns feeding each other, you once, me once, until the entire movie ended.
Although they had been feeding each other the whole time, Kamuro Masumi still felt like they hadn't done anything at all!
Kamuro Masumi felt some regret in her heart. The strategies she had collected online—basically none of them were used.
She also didn't know how Shikime Natsu's mood was. Coming out to hang with her must have been quite boring, right? The girl's gaze cautiously sized up Shikime Natsu.
Mn, as for whether the movie's plot was exciting or not, the girl hadn't paid attention to it at all. In fact, her mind hadn't been on the movie from the very start.
