Natsume-kun just wants to live

Chapter 28 Consent (3000 words)
Street corner, convenience store.

It was getting dark, and the crow stood on the telegraph pole, looking straight down.

Natsume Zehei stopped and looked at the sky.

It rained for a while and then stopped, and I don't know if there will be more later.

There were no customers in the convenience store, only a young mother with her child.

The child pointed at the biscuit bear and cried in the corridor.

At the counter, a high school girl with twin ponytails was standing.She was wearing a hat that covered half of her face.Behind, the store manager reads the newspaper.

It seems that someone has been recruited, which is gratifying.

"Is this a jk?" Natsume Zehei whispered and stepped in.

"welcome."

Seeing that it was Natsume, the store manager's expression remained unchanged, and he pointed out the door. "The customers are closed, come back tomorrow."

Natsume Zeping glanced at the 'open' hanging on the door, ignored the store manager, hung the big black umbrella on the door and walked in.

Enter the door and go to the fresh food area as usual.

eggs, natto, pork
It's not yet the discount time, and the ingredients here are still a bit expensive. If it weren't for the windfall, Natsume Zeping would never want to come here at this time.

There are still some ingredients at home, which is enough for one person, but it is very difficult for one person and one ghost.

Therefore, the cost of raising a female ghost is not small.

"Natsume."

A voice came from behind.

"Huh?" He responded.

"Didn't you say don't come here soon?" The store manager came over and complained while leaning on the shelf.

He said it was a complaint, but he was not very angry. The store manager was still a little happy about Natsume Zehei's arrival.

After all, he hasn't gossiped with anyone for many days, and his heart is itchy.

"If you don't come today, you will have to see me every Qingming Festival." Natsume Zeping looked back at him.

".What kind of life are you living?"

The store manager showed a sympathetic look, "I will give you a friendly price today."

"How much?" Natsume Zeping raised his head with excitement.

"[-]% off."

"." He lowered his head and regained his composure.

It's a waste of emotion.

The store manager chatted next to him for a while, chatting about what happened recently.

The extreme people who appeared at the entrance of the street, the down-and-out female high school students seen by the roadside, and the fat house next door who found a girlfriend and so on.

The more he talked, the worse the store manager's mood became, and he even sighed, losing interest in chatting.

"The store manager."

"what happened?"

"Why is the underage here?" Natsume Zeping looked at the counter, "If you recruit child laborers to work the night shift, you won't be afraid of being approached by the Ministry of Education."

"No." The store manager said, "She doesn't work the night shift, but comes here to work part-time occasionally. She doesn't even have a contract, so don't talk nonsense."

"No contract?" Natsume Zeping looked at him, thinking that this black-hearted capitalist is really doing all kinds of evil.

"Can you still trust me? Of course it's done now." The store manager saw Natsume Zehei's careful thinking, and immediately said with disdain.

"Oh...part-time job, part-time job is good, earn some pocket money and be self-sufficient."

Natsume Zehei immediately changed his words, and then chose the dishes for the evening.

If I remember correctly, the store manager said before that he would not recruit minors in the future. This jk is probably his relative, and he came here to find a job when he was short of money.

No wonder he was so protective.

Natsume Zehei took a few glances and didn't care.

"Let me say, Natsume." The store manager looked around and started talking again.

"Ok?"

"Is there any way to educate the ignorant kid?" The store manager asked in a low voice, as if he was taboo about something.

"Little brat?"

Natsume Zehei looked back at JK at the counter, "It's not small."

"what?"

"nothing."

The store manager sighed, "something happened recently, my sister's child lost her temper, ran out to live with me, and asked me to find a job for her. I have no choice but to let her live first."

The seven-year-old girl, who works as a part-time worker, Iwa Kutaro (store manager) stroked her thinning hair, feeling a little bit embarrassed for a moment.

"Part-time job." Natsume Zehei hesitated for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Is the child of my sister's family a girl?"

"girl."

"Oh."

This is not good. The female high school student lives in the uncle's house. Although the uncle is only in his twenties, no matter how you think about it, it's not right, right?

Natsume Zehei thought for a while, then said, "What do you think?"

"Whatever you think about it, of course I want to fulfill my uncle's duties and educate her."

"Oh. It's good to educate, but it must be appropriate." Natsume Zehei became more and more strange the more he thought about it.

"It's natural. Children of this age will cry when they say a few words, and talk back when things don't go well. Last night, I asked her to help her take a bath. If she doesn't help, she will cry."

"bath?"

"Take a shower." The store manager looked at Natsume strangely, "What's wrong?"

".fine."

Natsume Zehei shook his head, thinking he must have heard it wrong.

There is no such absurd thing.

"Let her stay for a few days, let her go back when you figure it out, children have a temper, and they come and go quickly." Natsume Zeping continued.

"That's right." The store manager sighed, "It's just that I have to work hard these few days, and I have to take a bath and sleep with her."

"."

"What's wrong with you, you look so bad?"

"fine."

After that, Natsume Zehei bought some beef, took a few boxes of salmon, added vegetables, and walked to the counter with the bag.

When paying, Natsume Zehei looked at jk several times, his eyes were a little weird.As if sensing his gaze, the girl raised her head and opened her mouth as if surprised, but she didn't make a sound, she just lowered her head.

"."

Natsume Zeping turned his head, glanced at the store manager meaningfully, and left without saying anything.

The store manager scratched his head, not understanding the meaning in Natsume Zehei's eyes.

After he left, the girl looked up at Natsume, and then at the store manager next to her.

"Excuse me, do you know that person just now?"

"what happened?"

The store manager looked at her with a polite attitude.

"Nothing, I just feel a little familiar."

Kaori Aragaki shook her head and bowed again: "I am really sorry for your trouble today, manager."

"Needless to say, if you have any difficulties, just tell me." The store manager patted his chest, "If you are being entangled by a boy or something, don't worry about looking for me. Uncle, I was a good guy who could beat ten when I was young .”

"." Kaori Aragaki opened her mouth, "There are no boys pestering me, please rest assured."

"That's good."

The store manager nodded, pointed at Natsume Zeping and said, "Also, you must pay attention to that kid. He looks honest on the surface, but actually has ambiguous relationships with five girls. It's dangerous."

"Five?!" Kaori Aragaki's complexion turned pale.

She didn't expect that Natsume, who was taciturn and had excellent academic performance in school, turned out to be such a scumbag.

It's really knowing people and knowing the face but not knowing the heart.

"Of course, uncle, I saw it with my own eyes." The shop manager said solemnly.

"I understand, I will be careful!" Kaori Aragaki said seriously.

"That's how it is, Aragaki-kun (honorary speech), this is today's salary." The store manager said again: "I'm short of money, so I can continue to work."

"thank you very much!"

On the way home, Natsume Zehei sneezed.

When she got home, while she was still in the entrance, Sayuri poked her head out from the living room and hurried over.

"Natsume, it's not good, it's not good."

"what happened?"

"I'm very hungry."

"."

After dinner, Natsume Zehei went to take a bath.Sayuri looked at the moon on the window sill, maybe she was homesick.

After coming out of the bathroom, Natsume Zehei looked at the time and began to review.

There will be a monthly test at the end of this month. If you want to get a good result, you must work harder—the goal is: surpass Miyagawa Suzune!
Next, apart from part-time work, Natsume Zehei will spend the rest of his time reviewing.

Not only him, but other students as well.

Dating cash is also available, but it is always a small number of people.

From Mandarin to mathematics, it took three hours in between. Natsume Zehei came out of the state of immersion and checked the time again.

Around 11:30, it was time for a break.

He turned off the desk lamp, and the moonlight shone in through the window screen.

When he turned around, the female ghost was already lying on the bed, staring at him without blinking.

"."

He stopped, hesitating a little.

"Natsume, it's getting late." Sayuri patted the bed.

"Go to sleep on the floor."

"No."

"Go." Natsume Zehei pointed outside.

"No."

"No one likes a disobedient female ghost."

"No one likes a boy who loves to talk."

One person and one ghost started to quarrel again.

He was so aggressive that he almost got into a fight.If it wasn't for Natsume Zehei not being able to beat her, she must be taught a lesson.

There is no way, he can only reason. However, the female ghost is not reasonable.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, Natsume Zehei compromised. His body did not allow the quarrel to continue.

In other words, it's exhausting.

"On one side, don't grab my quilt."

Natsume Zehei sighed and slowly closed his eyes.

Sayuri blinked, and leaned over to touch Natsume Zehei's hand.

"Natsume."

"Ok?"

"Do you want to be happy?"

"Do not want to."

"Oh." Sayuri responded, and moved closer, "Natsume's body is so warm."

"Don't lean over, you're so cold."

Natsume Zehei opened his eyes and turned to Sayuri to express his refusal.

Her body was icy cold, but not cold.The touch close to the arm is like jelly, delicate and soft.

He retreated a little, and Sayuri moved closer, pushing Natsume Zehei to the corner without moving.

"."

Natsume Zeping decided to endure it.

It was okay, but I was not used to it at first, and then fell asleep soon.

Another three and ten minutes later, Sayuri moved suddenly, raised her head, and looked at him.

"Natsume, are you asleep?"

She looked and looked, feeling uncertain for a moment.

"Natsume Natsume. Do you want to be happy?"

Silence
"If you don't speak, I will take it as your default."

Sayuri opened her mouth, brushed her black hair over her earlobe, slowly lowered her head, and touched his forehead.

After it was over, she glanced at Natsume Zeping a few times, feeling a little guilty.

"You agreed."
