Natsume-kun just wants to live

Chapter 375 Christmas Arrangements

For lunch, choose the coffee shop that Amamiya Megumi often goes to.

On the way, Natsume also asked why she came here for lunch, and her answer was that she was used to it.

For this explanation, Natsume doesn't believe it, just like a girl telling her age, she always hides her true thoughts.

The sky was dark, and a thick layer of rain clouds had accumulated over Tokyo, and thin strands of rain kept falling from between the clouds.

'Jingle Bell'

Pushing open the door, the wind chimes rang, and two waiters dressed in maid outfits, who looked sexy and hot, came and said a loud welcome.

Natsume glanced at the maid indiscriminately, then at Kei, and found that she was also looking at herself.

"What is it?" he said.

She didn't answer, and walked inside, wondering if she noticed her little movements.

Natsume looked away and began to think about how to apologize.

The decoration of the coffee shop has not changed, with cool-toned walls, a large bookshelf in the middle, and a huge red wine glass near the window.

Kodera Yuko looked around, "Yumi and I used to pass by here often, but there are too few people here, and the door is usually closed, so we didn't come here much."

"Where is she?" Yu Gonghui asked.

"Don't you know, Amamiya-san, Yumi is going to retreat today."

"Shut up?"

Yu Gonghui raised his head, first glanced at her, then set his eyes on Natsume.

"These days of training, I didn't go to class much, so I stayed at home." He said.

"How did you know?"

"Mei should ask me what I don't know." Natsume raised her face and smiled.

Yu Gonghui, who originally wanted to question him, lost his mind when he saw his expression, and just sighed: "Let her come over, it's useless to study alone at home, and if you use the wrong method for a long time, there will be no gain. "

"now?"

"Let's talk about it after dinner."

Natsume nodded, then looked at Kodera Yuko again: "What about you?"

"Use your honorific title, member Natsume." Amamiya Kei gave him a glare.

"Oh, Xiaosi, do you want to review? I can teach you."

"what?"

Kodera Yuko shook her head, her small face lowered, and turned red: "Well, no need. It's fine to treat guests, and help with counseling."

Yugong Hui looked over: "I'm not short of money and time."

"Tsk tsk, the rich young lady's face is really enviable." A certain poverty-stricken member joked beside her.

"You talk a lot." The eldest lady turned her head and said unkindly.

"Is this the first day Hui met me?"

Kodera Yuko covered her mouth and smiled, then patted Natsume on the shoulder: "Come in."

"coming."

The three of them sat down on the sofa in the corner near the window, and the waiter brought the menu after a while.

"What would you like to drink?" he asked.

"I want a cup of latte." Kodera Yuko flipped through.

"Then I'll order a coffee mocha"

Afterwards, in terms of the choice of staple food, Natsume ordered pasta with pork chops, and Megumi Amamiya ordered steak. It seems that she is also a well-cooked party, just like herself.

As for Kodera Yuko, Natsume didn't look at it and didn't care.

This does not mean indifference, but as Yumi's friend, Natsume must keep a distance from her.

"I heard that your class chose divination?"

Natsume turned her head, stared at Yu Gonghui and said.

"Is there any problem?" She was holding the history of kendo in her hand, and she didn't know when she bought it.

"Will there be a witch in the style of the eldest lady? If there is, I will go and see it that day."

"Probably, but I won't help you see it, so give up on it."

"It's a pity." Natsume said it was a pity, but asked again: "Have you decided on the costume of the witch? Do you want me to recommend it?"

"Natsume doesn't need to worry about it, you just need to pay more attention to the activities of your own class." Amamiya Hui said calmly.

"Helping others is my strength."

"I prefer to call it meddling."

"Does Hui know about magic hats? They are big purple hats that can just cover your head." He made a gesture, "If you want me to say, a real witch should wear a sexy robe and a big hat. With a broom in his hand, he would help people with divination."

"Is this the image of a medieval witch in your mind? Please study history again." Yu Gonghui sneered.

"Times have changed, my lord!"

Natsume took the drink handed over by the waiter, "If you want to be popular, you have to make sacrifices."

Amamiya Hui turned the pages of the book, picked up the black tea that Natsume pushed over, added milk and sugar cubes, and stirred it.

"I don't need to be popular, just do what I have to do."

Kodera Yuko blinked curiously: "Student Amamiya also knows divination?"

"Actually, it's just tarot cards. You can operate in a fixed order and solve the cards at the end." Natsume said.

"Can you test love?"

"Not to mention love, career, friendship, family affection, and even fate can be measured, but whether it is accurate is another matter."

Amamiya Kei turned the book again, "Although member Natsume spends a lot of time talking nonsense, this time I agree with him."

"The previous sentence is unnecessary."

"Really?"

"Yes." Natsume answered in the affirmative.

In the afternoon, when the rain became heavier, Yuko Kodera made a phone call, talked to the two of them, and then went home to pick up the books.

There is a laptop in the store, and Megumi Amamiya borrowed it to work, while Natsume read a book on the sidelines.

This book was on the bookshelf, and it was about rock music. Although Natsume couldn't understand it, he still read it.

Almost half an hour later, when he raised his head, he happened to see four figures passing by outside the window.

Yoshiwara and Takatomi, the figures next to them are slightly familiar, they are Kodera Tamako and Sato Yumi.

Coincidentally, the eyes of several people met and stopped in front of the window.

Natsume waved for them to come in.

'Jingle Bell'

The four of them walked in, glanced at Natsume, and then at Yu Gonghui: "Good afternoon."

She raised her head and looked at Natsume suspiciously: "Your friend?"

"I met them halfway, and they happened to be reviewing too, so I brought them along." Yumi Sato said.

She was wearing skinny jeans today, a white turtleneck sweater, and a coat in her hand, but it wasn't as cold as it was outside in the coffee shop, so she took it off.

"That's it." Yugong Hui agreed, lowered her head and concentrated on her work.

The four of them were sitting next door, not too far away, about five steps apart.

Natsume was holding a casual magazine, flipping through it boredly, and noticed Takatomi Yamato's gaze, and sat down.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"Why are you asking, why are you here, are you still with that eldest lady?" Gao Chen and Yamato said in a low voice.

He glanced at the cold coffee on the next table, and a bold thought came to his mind: "Dating?"

Ms. Sato's eyes followed his words.

"What date, you're slandering." Natsume naturally wouldn't admit it.

"Otherwise what is it?"

"It's part of the job."

"Your job is to flirt with beautiful girls?" Gao Chen, who has been single for 17 years, almost gritted his teeth.

Just as he was arguing, Kodera Yuko said: "It's work, we finished shopping in the morning, and we stopped by here for lunch."

Misunderstanding resolved.

"I see."

Yoshihara and Takatomi looked suddenly enlightened, and patted Natsume on the shoulder, while Sato Yumi looked away.

Natsume went back and changed the book, and brought the book The History of Swordsmen that the eldest lady was reading.

Yu Gonghui glanced at him, but said nothing.

"Don't worry, I will write down what you see."

Natsume said, sat down opposite her, turned to the first page, and saw the preface.

This book was written by a young man surnamed Yagyu hundreds of years ago, so it is half-literal, but fortunately Natsume can understand it.

The study session will be very quiet. Originally, everyone would do their own questions, but Natsume arranged the test in a unified way, so now there is only the sound of the pen scribing across the white paper.

After about an hour, everyone stopped writing and started discussing in low voices.

Yumi Sato took a sip of black tea, and originally wanted to say something, but turned her head and looked at the two people by the window, feeling a little uncomfortable.

She took the paper and sat down next to Natsume, poking him unceremoniously.

"I don't understand here."

Natsume put down the book, glanced at it a few times, and gave an idea of ​​disintegration.

Although he is a liberal arts student, Natsume already understood these math problems as early as his freshman year in high school.

It was not a quiet afternoon, the drizzle was continuous, and it fell on the street. The few fallen leaves on the treetops were blown by the wind, and they just fell down like this. After tidying up my hair, I looked out the window.

After watching for a while, she withdrew her gaze, and her eyes fell on the two people who were discussing in front.

"I'll do it," she said.

Yumi Sato blinked, "Megumi?"

"I'm here, just to rest for a while, I have time." Said, Yu Gonghui glanced at Natsume, motioning him to teach others.

"Sending people everywhere without paying wages"

He grumbled and stood up.

There were few people in the coffee shop, so he went to the front desk to order a cappuccino, and talked about rock music and pop music with the maid in the middle. If the sight from behind was not too harsh, Natsume would definitely sit here for half an hour.

"If you focus on serious things, you may achieve higher achievements." Amamiya Hui said.

"Achievement? Do you mean tasting hot springs from various places? I will."

"Is your ambition only so big?"

"There is a greater ambition, but I am afraid that if I say it, I will be hated by Miss Yugong."

"tell me the story."

"I won't tell you."

That's the end of the topic, Megumi Amamiya taught Ms. Sato, even if she didn't have to guess, she knew what ambition Natsume was referring to.

Natsume shrugged and took a seat beside Naoki Yoshiwara, while Takatomi Yamato wisely went to the opposite side and gave him a seat.

The three of them held the paper and began to ask for ideas one by one.After he finished speaking patiently, half an hour had passed.

"What are you looking at?" Takatomi Yamato glanced at it.

"The Legend of the Swordsman, also known as the days when I was a swordsman."

"Is it interesting?"

"Of course, there are too many bragging links, and the skills are not mentioned much. I suspect that the person who wrote the book has no strength."

"The books written by the ancients are like this."

"You are wrong. It should be published. Books written by ancient people are so popular that they can be sold without bragging."

After nearly two and a half hours of study, everyone's spirits were relaxed.

"After discussion in the class, it was decided to let you be a ghost on the day of the cultural festival." Takatomi Yamato said.

"Me?" Natsume pointed at herself.

"Of course, you are a member of the class, and you must make some contribution."

"Do you want to put on makeup?"

"Yes, do you know Sadako, that female ghost in white clothes, follow that."

Natsume expressed doubts: "Can this scare people?"

"Is this doubting my ability? Absolutely!"

Natsume looked at Kodera Yuko again: "What are the activities in Kodera's class?"

"It's not a coffee shop," she said.

"Coffee shop?"

Naoki Yoshihara became interested. He is still working as a trainee in the pastry shop: "Can you make desserts? Do you want me to help?"

"Ah, no need. Actually, they only sell some omurice and instant coffee. There are very few dishes." Yuko Kodera waved her hand quickly.

"Will you wear a maid outfit?" Natsume asked.

"meeting."

"What style?" Takatomi Yamato asked this question, but Kodera Tamako didn't pay attention, thinking it was Natsume who spoke.

She was alert and stared at him unkindly: "What are you going to do?"

"Just ask." Natsume said with no interest.

Of course, I'm still interested, otherwise I wouldn't be taking the blame for Takatomi Yamato.

"Wearing is what you wear, but I will never serve you, die of this heart."

"I seem to have heard someone say this sentence."

Chatting with them was boring, Natsume stood up and went to the next door.

Yumi Sato and Megumi Amamiya are discussing what will happen after the cultural festival, which is Christmas Eve.

According to Yumi, she plans to hold an event and invite friends to participate, and then sing Christmas songs together and exchange gifts.

The location has not been selected yet, but it should be going to a place farther away, such as Hokkaido.

Natsume couldn't even imagine the activities of the rich like skiing during the day and celebrating Christmas at night.

Yu Gonghui's attitude towards this is that she can go or not, but she will agree to the invitation.

"Really, then it's settled!" Yumi Sato was a little excited, "I'll prepare the plan when I go back."

Natsume sat aside without saying a word.

It's winter vacation around Christmas, so it's not bad to go out and have fun.

"What do you think?" Yumi Sato turned her face away.

Yu Gonghui also put down the book and looked over.

"Me? Well, it's pretty good." Natsume said indifferently.

"Available? Still"

Yu Gonghui took a sip of black tea, the sweet and greasy taste refreshed her a lot: "He is usually very free, so he must be free."

"It must be reminded that, as a rising light novel writer, my schedule is already full."

Seeing Yumi Sato staring at herself unblinkingly, Natsume continued: "When you get up in the morning, you have to enjoy hot rice, then read a book, and at noon, you have to watch TV dramas on time."

"You know that's not what we're going to ask." Yugong Hui couldn't help but speak.

"Christmas?" Natsume pretended to be puzzled.

"Still pretending to be confused." Her face turned cold.

"It's free, of course it's free!"

The sensible Natsume replied without thinking.

What else did the three of them say, the sudden sound of the rain outside the window became louder, hitting the glass and sliding along a winding track.

"It's raining." Yu Gonghui murmured.

The scene of late autumn fell in front of my eyes, and for a while, no one spoke.
