"Ugh... Why didn't I take Shujinkou's mom up on her offer...?"
Laying on a bench just outside of her school, Natsuki groaned as she rubbed her stomach.
"I really should have known that I wouldn't have been able to make lunch last night..."
Continuing to stare aimlessly, Natsuki began to think back to the events of yesterday. She could remember the sorrow and relief she felt when she finally saw Shujinkou sleeping. She also felt guilt and overall conflicted. Though hard, she was able to hide that from his mother.
Those weren't the only feelings she recalled.
She's... That visit was a lot nicer than I thought it'd be, even if the beginning was really uncomfortable...
Natsuki sat up, unaware of the small smile on her face.
"That family's really weird."
She then curiously checked her surroundings. Besides the occasional student passing by, the area was hers ever since classes broke for lunch.
Her eyes were then drawn to a nearby clock. Afternoon classes were about to begin soon.
"Why's lunch so much longer when you don't have anything to eat," she said with a pout.
Standing up, Natsuki's ears were soon assaulted by high-pitch, frantic screams. Very familiar frantic screams.
"Is that...?"
"Somebody help!" somebody cried.
"It can't be..."
Natsuki cautiously walked towards the direction the screams were coming from. Looking at the source, she once again experienced a rare moment where she could believe what she was seeing while also struggling to accept it.
"Sayori?!"
Her usually clumsy friend was dangling upside down from a nearby tree branch.
"Sayori, what the heck are you doing up there!?"
"Huh?" The moment their eyes met, Sayori's eyes sparkled with hope. "Natsuki, you gotta help me down from here!"
Sayori violenlt swung through the air, twisting and turning as she begged for help.
"Stop wiggling like that! You're going to end up falling on your head!" Natsuki warned her. "Plus-!"
Sayori's frantic movements soon came to a halt, her attention focused solely on Natsuki's bright cheeks.
"'Plus-' what? What is it?" Sayori worriedly asked.
Looking away, Natsuki flatly answered. "Your skirt's... Not covering what it's supposed to..."
"My skirt's not... Eh?!"
Sayori looked up, utterly horrified to discover her panties were available for all to see. She quickly covered her exposed undergarments as much as she could and cried out for help once again.
"Seriously, Sayori, you need to calm down before-!"
As she was saying this, something horrifying caught Natsuki's eye. The sole thing keeping Sayori suspended was her left sock snagged on the branch. The hole it created was quickly expanding and in no time, it would rip completely.
Oh crap...!
With no time to think, Natsuki thrust herself under Sayori just in time to soften her fall.
"Auu... Are you okay, Natsuki?"
"Yeah, but..." Natsuki rubbed her head as she sat up. "Why's your head so hard?"
