Natsume-kun just wants to live

Chapter 4 Convenience Stores and Hamsters
Natsume Zehei lives in the suburbs of Tokyo near Chiba. The houses here are quite old, and the apartments stand side by side in rows. The walls are wrinkled and in disrepair for many years, and the people who live here are all elderly people.

Passing by the side of the street and looking up, you can see the intertwined black pipelines. At the end of the road is a telephone pole. Outside the pole is a large piece of farmland. In Tokyo, where land is very expensive, it is not bad to have a peaceful place.

When the evening approaches, there is always the aroma of curry greeting people from door to door. Even if the doors and windows are closed tightly, it will seep in through the cracks, making people feel greedy.

Natsume passed by the corner of the street, there was a convenience store, there were some jk standing in front of the store, they just stared at him without speaking when they saw him.

It wasn't until he went far away that he heard the discussion vaguely.

It was getting darker on the way home, and Natsume Zehei was worried that it would rain heavily halfway, so he quickened his pace and went straight to his house.

Soon, a villa built by each family appeared in front of me, not too big or too small.

Because of the old house, the cost of maintenance is not low, but it is better than a loan.

——House prices in Tokyo are rising year by year. There was not much land in the first place, but now it is even more serious. It is a very happy thing to own a house of your own in this era.

Pushing open the door and entering, first put away the clothes under the balcony, and then go back to the living room to rest for a while.

The living room is not big, but you can see the farmland in the distance.The curtains fell apart, rippled by the wind.

It may be because the windows were not closed when I went out, the cold wind brought the fresh smell of the farmland into the house, and it only made the house full of coolness.Natsume Zeping raised his head and sniffed, and smelled a scent of peonies.

I closed the window casually, opened the refrigerator and took out natto and sterile eggs, turned on the stove, fried rice and eggs, and sprinkled natto for dinner.

Natsume Zehei was not dissatisfied with the ordinary, even shabby dinner.

After pouring a glass of water after the meal, Natsume Zehei turned on the TV—the old TV that had haunted him for many years, and the female ghost in it hadn't come out yet.

The last time I saw it was when I was in middle school.I vaguely remember it as a little female ghost, and I don't know if it has grown up after a few years?

"Evening news broadcast."

The TV was on, and a group of people were digging for something.

Natsume closed it after one glance, and began to think about the system.

There is no specific target for the strategy mission, and the rewards are also different. If you want to earn life, Megumi Amamiya is the only choice at present.

This choice troubled him, and Natsume would never stoop to associate with the arrogant lady.

He has no mental illness and likes to be abused and looked down upon.

Even going to the street to find one is more acceptable than attacking Yu Gonghui. The fact is exactly the same, a person cannot be hanged on a tree. If you take three months out of twelve months to search, there will always be Rewarding.

If it doesn't work, go back and find a way.

After confirming the policy, Natsume Zehei called up the system again, and looked at the passive presented by the system again—this is more like a novice gift package.

[Stunning side (Charm value reaches 100 in a short time)]

Literally, it is hard to imagine how to enhance the charm value to the limit of human beings. The highest Natsume Zehei has seen so far is 90 of Megumi Amamiya. Woolen cloth?
But this is a passive skill - it may be triggered many times a day, or it may not be encountered once in a lifetime, it all depends on luck.

To be honest, Natsume Zehei would rather have a [Devil Mastery], or a [Sword Master], if it doesn't work, then [Martial Arts Master], this kind of substantial enhancement is more satisfying.

But something is better than nothing, and he didn't complain too much.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Natsume Zehei arrived at the convenience store on the corner.

Street lights flickered, wild cats crawled over guardrails and made sounds like babies crying.Most of the houses have turned off the lights, and only a few service shops are still open.

The convenience store has the brightest lights, but there are not many customers, they are all office workers who come out in the middle of the night to buy supper.

"Yo, Natsume."

The store manager was at the counter and greeted Natsume when he saw him.

The manager of the convenience store is Taro Iwakutaro, a fat uncle who loves to gossip, but he is only 27 years old when he says he is an uncle, because he is often misunderstood by people because of his old appearance.He often explained to others about age, but the effect was not good, and he gave up after a long time.

During the middle school holidays, Natsume Zehei would come over to work part-time, and he came and went a few times, so he became acquainted.

He came in and circled around, stopping before the discounted merchandise.

Japanese convenience stores will give discounts on foods that are about to expire in the evening, including some bentos, vegetables, fish and the like.Natsume Zehei glanced at it, and there were very few on the shelves, only a few tattered cabbages, a few boxes of salmon fillets, and a few large bottles of milk.

After choosing for a while, Natsume Zehei walked to the counter with the bag and asked casually while waiting for the store manager to settle the bill.

"Where's the new clerk?"

"Ran."

The store manager paused, "It's because I'm too tired to accept the night shift."

Convenience stores work late at night from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] am the next day, which is really difficult.Even the store manager who has been used to it for many years can't bear it.

"I remember only working for a week. When I met him last week, I was still joking about becoming a store manager."

"Hey, newcomer this year. Let's not talk about it, Natsume, have you got a girlfriend yet?" The store manager laughed twice, and patted Natsume on the back narrowly.

"Girlfriend? It's too troublesome in all aspects, let's talk about it later."

I have to give gifts every year and festival, and I often miss her on weekdays. If I accidentally offend her, I will turn my girlfriend or something. Thinking about it is troublesome.

If not necessary, who would look for a girlfriend!
Natsume Zehei also had a hard time understanding, how did those boys endure it?The boss's pua is pua, but the girlfriend's is not?

"As expected of you, Your Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Huh?" Natsume Zeping frowned, wondering about the strange name that the fat uncle said.

"Hey, what's that called? Are you past the age of the second year of middle school?!"

"I didn't make this up. A group of female high school students came here in the afternoon. That's what they said when they talked about you. Damn, it's really enviable! Hey, Natsume, what are you thinking? Say something ah!"

Natsume Zehei looked at the egg and replied casually: "What can you think. The mouth grows on other people, so we can't make them shut up, right?"

"I said, why don't you try dating." The store manager didn't give up. He remembered that those girls were very beautiful. If Natsume got his hands on him, he would have the opportunity to spend more time with those girls.

"Your boy is too rigid. According to me, studying is useless at all. With your looks, you can spend the rest of your life with a rich woman to take care of you. You don't have to work so hard at all."

Ignoring the store manager's nonsense, Natsume Zehei sighed:
"If I want to live a life that can only be survived by eating soft food, I would rather find a river and jump into it and starve to death on the street."

It is impossible to eat soft rice, and it is impossible to eat soft rice in this life.

If a man does not live with five tripods, he will cook with five tripods when he dies.In his second life, he wants to develop into a civil servant, and his goal is the Prime Minister of Japan.

"Being a hamster, isn't it good to be a rice bug?" The store manager turned sideways to show Natsume his two new hamsters.

"How long have you been raising it?"

"A week."

Natsume Zehei snorted, "It hasn't died for a week, this hamster's life is really hard enough."

"What do you take it for? I am serious about raising it!"

"grain reserves."

"It's really rude." The store manager sighed.

"If you really put your mind to it, you should know that hamsters can't be kept in groups, right?"

Natsume Zehei glanced at him

"."

The store manager turned his head and saw that two little things were fighting.

Knowing that he was wrong, he didn't speak any more, and after packing the things, he handed them to Natsume.

Natsume Zehei didn't intend to stay for long, and was about to go out after receiving the things.

"Natsume."

The store manager stopped him.

"Ok?"

"It's been cold recently, and it will be a long time before it warms up." The store manager rummaged through the bottom and handed over a box, "Be careful and don't leave before me."

"Thank you."

Natsume Zehei smiled, "I'm going to live to be 40 years old."

The shop manager in front of the counter was silent for a long time, but finally laughed, "It's such a humble idea."

"Yeah, it's really humble enough."

After Natsume Zehei finished speaking, he stepped into the night and disappeared at the end of the road.
