Natsume-kun just wants to live

Chapter 1 The Big Problem System

The rain fell violently, and the early tram pulled out of the platform, leaving behind the sound of howling and the roar of the railroad tracks in the wind.

Natsume Zeping dozed off, heard the sound and opened his eyes to look out, and found the fine rain on the window.

He turned his head sideways, looking a little distracted at the rain scene outside the window.

When I went out at home earlier, the weather was fine. I hurried out without forgetting to bring my umbrella. At that time, I thought it was a burden, but I didn’t expect it to come in handy now.

What should I say, good luck?

In the tram, the tiredness on the faces of the passers-by has not yet dissipated, perhaps because of the hangover, there is always a faint smell of alcohol spreading, making the atmosphere a little dull.

After hearing the sound of rain, they turned their heads sideways, staring at the pouring rain and cursing secretly.

The tram departs from Chiba Station and goes to Tokyo via the Keiyo Line. Natsume Zehei's destination is the Toyonoluo Private College in Tokyo.

"Hey, look at that guy"

"Which one?"

"On the chair."

Many people looked out of the window, but more eyes were still focused on Natsume Zeping.The latter is used to this, and his expression does not change.

The female high school student looked at him and couldn't take her eyes off for a while.

"so skinny.."

“A bit like Kimura”

One of the girls couldn't control the volume: "Isn't it really Kimura?! This is too pretty..."

"Huizi, your voice is too loud!"

In the carriage, many people raised their heads and looked at the place where the sound came from, and Natsume Zehei was no exception.

He glanced at it a few times, but there was no expression on his face, and he didn't say anything.Looking back at the fleeting scenery outside the car, it's like watching flowers on horseback.

Natsume Zehei, a sophomore in high school, will turn seventeen at the age of sixteen.

In the sixth year after he was reborn in Tokyo, both his parents passed away, leaving him only a house and a meager insurance fund, and he was mostly financially strapped.

Faced with this situation, Natsume was not discouraged. He worked half-study for two lifetimes, and never let go of any opportunity to work illegally. Finally, he was admitted to a private high school with excellent grades and received preferential treatment of tuition exemption.

But the long struggle has just begun. Natsume Zehei's goal is to improve his academic ability, get admitted to a famous family, and finally become a civil servant and develop towards the prime minister.

The high school season in April was unsatisfactory. It was the season of blooming cherry blossoms, but unexpectedly encountered warm and humid air from the Pacific Ocean-a heavy rain broke up the cherry blossom trees, and also broke up the innocent dreams of boys and girls.

The entrance ceremony that Fengzhiluo Academy planned to hold on the first day was completely ruined. According to the student council president, the school decided to postpone it, and even if it was postponed, it could not be rushed.

'Let the freshmen understand the spirit of the older generation of seniors, and cheer up thoroughly'

These are his original words.

This thing is about a sense of ritual. Natsume Zeping can understand it, but can't accept it.

As a student, he would rather sit in the classroom and listen to the meaningless nagging of his classmates than listen to the speech of a good student, especially when the good student is still himself, it is even more boring.

Backfired.

A few days ago, the president of the student council approached him and asked Natsume Zehei to give a speech as an outstanding student representative—this was really difficult, because of his poor health, when Natsume Zehei gave a speech on the podium as a freshman representative last year Passed out, and then a girl of the same class carried her back to the infirmary.

With the lessons from last year, he thought the school would be more cautious, but he didn't expect to be so reckless.

All I can say is that I hope there will be nothing wrong with this year's entrance ceremony.

Natsume Zeping listened to the sound of rain with lowered eyes, feeling sleepy again, and closed his eyes heavily.

As a time traveler, his life was a bit too comfortable,

Going to and from school, reading and working part-time, ten years have been like a day.

There's nothing wrong with that, except for a shorter lifespan.

As for the short life span, Natsume Zehei was very predictable. The declining physical strength and frequent serious illnesses in the past few years all reminded him that something was wrong with his body.

The root cause of Natsume Zehei's poor health is not lack of exercise or unhealthy work and rest.

Simply haunted by ghosts.

Well, that's right, a ghost.

To be more specific, it's probably Sadako or something...

While he was thinking about something, the tram slowly entered the station, and the slight push back caused the passengers in the car to fall forward.Natsume Zehei simply straightened his schoolbag and stepped out of the tram.Open the big black umbrella and step into the crowd.

The cold wind was blowing in, and the rain fell like pours on the congested city.

'Ahem.'

Natsume Zehei covered his mouth and coughed a few times, glanced at the pale shadow reflected in the window, and stepped into the stagnant water.

Fengzhiluo Academy, the gate.

Natsume Zehei stopped and took a short rest.

This place in Tokyo is really strange, big and small uphills and downhills always appear in places that Natsume Zeping must pass.Going up and down is exhausting, but you have to go.

Opening the shoe cabinet, a dozen pieces of letter paper fell out.

It's a love letter.

Natsume Zehei bent down to pick them up, arranged them one by one, read them briefly, and put them into his shoulder bag.

Natsume Zehei also finds it strange that he is liked by others - although he usually doesn't speak or participate in class activities, but so many people like him, what are they trying to do?
After changing his shoes, Natsume Zehei went straight to the club building.

The fourth floor, the most corner position.

'Department of Ghosts'

Natsume Zehei knocked on the door twice, pushed the door open and entered.

The room is very spacious, and there is a long table in the middle of the table, and a cup of black tea on the table is fragrant.

Near the window, a black-haired girl in a school uniform over a white bottoming shirt slowly sipped her tea.

This girl's sense of presence is so high that it overwhelms the dazzling array of furniture around. This place is not so much a community as a private villa. When she realized that someone came in, she said without raising her head:
"you are late."

"The time is now eight o'clock in the morning." Natsume Zehei walked to his own wooden chair, hung his shoulder bag on the hook under the long table, and finally took out a copy of "Bamboo Tori Monogatari" from the bag.

"The Tale of Bamboo Climb", also known as "The Tale of Princess Kaguya" and "Princess of the Bamboo Forest", is the story of Princess Kaguya who ascended to heaven and returned to the moon after rejecting the marriage proposals of many mortals in the world.

"The rule of the Spirit Department is to arrive at 59:[-] in the morning."

Yu Gonghui closed the book in her hand and looked up at him, Natsume Zehei's face was reflected in her bright black eyes.

"Why haven't I heard of it?"

"It was just scheduled yesterday, but you weren't here."

"The 220th rule." Natsume Zehei took out his notebook and added another one on it, "If the minister didn't have so many rules, there wouldn't be only two people in the Department of Mysteries."

"You're wrong, Natsume-san." Megumi Amamiya said slowly, "Even if there are a thousand rules, boys who want to enter the Department of Mysteries can break the threshold."

"I don't think there is a threshold for the Department of Psychics."

Natsume Zeping glanced at the gate that had not been repaired for many years.Although expressing dissatisfaction with Amemiya Megumi's arrogance, Natsume Zehei admitted that her words were not wrong.

Megumi Amamiya is good-looking - it is recognized that she is one of the best beautiful girls in the private Fengzhiluo Academy.

There are not many opportunities to get close to beautiful girls. If there are, someone must take advantage of them.So there were many people who applied to join the company last year, but the only one recognized by Megumi Amemiya was Natsume Zehei. Maybe this has something to do with his soft temper.

If you want to have good looks, you need to have a good figure, and you are still a famous young lady, with several halos superimposed, anyone will be in high spirits, but Yu Gonghui is not the case - she has always been very high.

In Natsume's eyes, this is a girl as proud as a swan, beautiful and dangerous.

"It's very rude, it seems that Natsume-san doesn't understand the gold content of the Department of Mysteries."

Yu Gonghui didn't look up, she was looking sideways at the rain outside the window, her black hair was blown a little loose, and the rain mixed with the petals of winter jasmine fell on the window.

"I've always believed that it's the people that highlight the gold content, not the brand of the Ministry of Spirituality." Natsume Zehei got up and closed the window.

It can blow petals to the fourth floor, today's wind is a bit exaggerated.

As the cold wind blew, Natsume Zeping couldn't help covering his mouth and coughing a few times. When he opened his hands, he saw some scarlet.
[Warning.Warning detected that the host's life is dying]

An unfamiliar mechanical sound rang in the ears, accompanied by the sudden appearance of the smart panel.

【System Activation】

Natsume Zehei froze for a moment while turning the pages of the book, and stared at the smart panel in front of him.

A task is posted in the lower left corner.

Not a very good word.

Natsume Zehei felt that there was something wrong with the system.
