Kanna saw this and noticed Natsuya's true feelings . She now understood that her previous conjecture about Natsuya and Akatsuki had been incorrect .

"So there was a reason after all . " Izawa smiled faintly . "Shiroya-san is highly protective of his master, so it was an impulsive action . "

"Even if I didn't interfere, Natsuya probably would have knocked him away, so it doesn't count for much in terms of protection," Seiji said . "I just acted on my impulse and beat him up . "

"You shouldn't say that, Shiroya-san," Kanna said with a smile . "Even if Yoruhana-san has the ability to protect herself, she still needs a boy to protect her . After all, girls like that kind of thing . "

"That's not what I meant . I'm not saying that Natsuya doesn't need protection, I meant that I didn't help Natsuya all that much . I just did what I wanted to do, and that's all there is to it . "

"No, you were a great help to me," Natsuya said in a gentle voice . "You appeared at just the right time . I'm truly grateful, and your presence made me feel quite reassured . "

Seiji didn't know how to react to the president's forthrightness and was a little embarrassed .

"Wow, so sweet . " Kanna felt like they were showing off their lovey-doveyness .

Izawa also noticed the atmosphere and blinked in realization .

After a momentary silence, Kanna spoke up . "Ryuuno, let's go back to the dining hall and grab some more food!"

Kanna decisively made the decision to stop being an unwanted fifth wheel .

"Eh? Milady, you're hungry again already?"

"Yeah, I didn't eat enough earlier, and now I'm starving again . Let's go! Let's go already!"

Kanna dragged the dense Izawa away without even saying goodbye . The ambiguous look she shot at Seiji and Natsuya said it all: 'We won't get in your way, so have fun being lovebirds!'

Seiji and Natsuya watched them leave before looking back towards each other .

Natusya took a long, good look at his face . Seiji was unable to bear it and averted his gaze, which made Natsuya smile .

"Can you accompany me outside for a walk?" she asked gently .

"Of course," he said .

And so, the two of them left their seats and went out for a walk . They arrived at the garden where the Spirit-branded Retainers had been waiting at earlier .

"This is a beautiful garden . "

"The other Spirit-branded Retainers and I were waiting here at the beginning . "

"What did you do here?"

"Not much . I just sat down in that pagoda, chatted with Izawa-san, and borrowed a light novel from him to read . "

"What type of light novel?"

"Its name is I Reincarnated to Another World and Became a Female Magical Swordsman! In the story, the protagonist, a male otaku, is killed by a truck and reincarnates into a different world as a beautiful girl . He trains and becomes a swordsman before embarking on a magical adventure . "

Natusya was rendered speechless .

"It wasn't something that Izawa himself wanted to read; it was a book that Fujihara-san set for homework . She even forced him to write a five-hundred-word book report on it afterwards . " Seiji sighed and continued, "Izawa-san has it difficult, serving a master like her . "

"Haha, indeed . " Natsuya recalled Kanna's endless preaching about boys' love and couldn't help but smile . "Is it an interesting novel?"

"It's pretty interesting . Although some of the scenes are a bit exaggerated, overall it's still pretty good . If I had to write a book report about it, it would be quite easy . "

"Oh, then I'll buy a copy and read it as well . "

"Er, I don't recommend that one to you . Some of the jokes in it may be difficult for you to understand," Seiji said in a roundabout fashion .

This genre of the novel was specifically aimed at a male audience . In other words, it had lots of ecchi gentlemanly content! This was definitely not a good novel to recommend to a female reader, especially one who was only a beginner at light novels .

"Natsuya, you don't read light novels often, right?"

"That's correct . "

"If you'd like to read one, I recommend you start with an excellent novel that most normal readers will find easy to understand and enjoy, such as Chronicles of the Demon Blade . "

Seiji began to give her a detailed review .

Natsuya quietly listened to him talk . Actually, she wasn't interested in light novels . She just wanted to read what he enjoyed reading .

"Oh right, Shika-chan and I cooperated to write the story Brother Monogatari . It's already scheduled to be published . Although I don't know the date, it should be out soon . " Seiji smiled . "This story has mysterious, mystical demons and spirits as the main topic . If you're interested, try reading it when it's available . "

Natsuya blinked in surprise . She already learned from Mai that Seiji was writing a story together with Shika Kagura . However, she didn't expect that it would be published so quickly .

Natsuya smiled . "I'm quite interested in it, Idle Dimension by the Shore Sensei . You must tell me when it's officially published . I'll immediately purchase a copy on the first day . "

"Eh, you know about it?" Seiji was surprised by this .

"Houjou-san told me about it . I've read your short story that was published in a magazine before . Should I give you my review?"

"Please, by all means . "

"I thought it was wonderful; the best short light novel I've ever read," Natsuya said sincerely .

"Although you just admitted that you don't read this type of novel very often, I'm still happy to hear that . Thank you for your praise . " Seiji bowed .

Both of them smiled .

"As long as it's your story, I'll read it . I'll become—no, I already am your fan, Shore Sensei . "

"It's my honor to have such a great fan like you . It's even giving me pressure . Looks like I'll have to work even harder in the future . "

The boy and girl chatted casually as they strolled through the grounds . After walking a circle around the garden, they sat down together in the pagoda .

A moment of silence fell between them .

As Seiji was silently observing their forested surroundings, Natsuya suddenly reached over and removed his sunglasses .

He looked towards Natsuya and saw that she was grinning widely . She then removed his wool-knit hat and flattened his high collar .

"What's the matter?" Seiji asked .

"I want to see your face . " There was a gentle expression on Natsuya's face, and her eyes were as still as water .

Seiji was rendered speechless . He was caught off guard by this sudden cannon attack!

This sentence combined with the beautiful president's current expression seemed just like cheating! A series of difficult-to-describe emotions welled up within him: his insides burned, yet he felt somewhat stifled, and even itchy .

"I… you're quite familiar with my face already . There's not much to look at . " Seiji averted his gaze .

Natsuya's heart began beating even quicker when she saw how embarrassed Seiji was .

She didn't know why she had this sudden impulse, but she did, and couldn't help but follow her heart and voice her thoughts .

Although she was somewhat embarrassed inside a corner of her heart, at the current moment, the urge to follow her impulse had far surpassed her embarrassment .

"Yes, I'm quite familiar with your face, but no matter how familiar I am with it, I can't get enough . "

'Just what am I saying! Me of all people!' Natsuya berated herself even as she said this .

An embarrassed voice protested from the corner of her heart . However, this voice was far too weak and didn't accomplish anything at all .

Seiji's body froze solid from this second sudden cannon attack . After that, he felt his head being pulled down by her hands, and he collapsed .

His head fell into something soft .

The soft sensation, faint aroma, and comfortable feeling caused Seiji's mind to go blank for several seconds . Finally, he realized what was happening to him .

This pose, this experience… could it be the legendary… lap pillow!?
