Natsume-kun just wants to live

Chapter 405 Female Teacher's Homecoming Life ([-])

bang.

The rails rubbed against each other, making a slight sound.

Natsume opened his eyes, it was snowing in the gloomy sky, and there was a glass of warm boiling water by the window.

At this time, he was sitting in the train, and the scenery passing by was flashing in front of his eyes.

From Tokyo to Akita, it takes about four hours by JR Shinkansen.

I planned it last night, got up early to catch the car, fortunately I caught up, but it is easy to get sleepy.

'Next stop, Yamagata, next stop, Yamagata'

The train stopped at the station, and the mechanical sound came from the horns of each carriage.

Natsume felt a little heavy on his shoulders, turned his head, and saw Konda Yumiko leaning on his shoulders with her eyes closed.

On the opposite side, Teacher Suyuan noticed that he had woken up and gave him a friendly smile.

"Awake?" she asked.

"Yeah." Natsume rubbed his head.

"Where are you now?"

"Yamagata, we'll be in Akita in ten minutes." Saki Mizuhara said, took a drink and handed it to Natsume, "Drink some water, I think you're not in a good mood."

"Thank you."

This is orange juice, sweet and sour, and the taste is not bad.

He drank it down, turned his head again, stared at the snow-covered mountains outside the window, lost in thought.

Akita, leaning on the Ou Mountains, surrounded by Iwate Prefecture and Aomori Prefecture.

It is sparsely populated and has almost no industry.

A large number of people still follow the habit of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

"Natsume, Natsume."

"Huh?" He looked up.

Mizuhara Saki pointed to Yumiko Konda and asked, "Are your shoulders sore? Do you want to wake her up?"

"Let Kinda-sensei sleep a little longer." Natsume shook his head.

"Good boy."

"That sounds awkward."

"Then what should I call you?"

"As usual, just call me Natsume."

Suwon Saki laughed: "This guy sleeps like a dead man. If he travels alone, he won't know if someone has taken his things."

"Probably because I watched TV all night last night." Natsume turned her head, feeling the heat from her neck, feeling a little helpless.

Pedestrians passing by smiled at them and regarded them as lovers.

After a while, Konda Yumiko was awakened by the sound of pedestrians walking.

She took off the clothes covering her body and asked in confusion, "Are we there yet?"

"It will take a while." Natsume handed over the tissue, pointing to Jingying at the corner of her mouth.

"."

Konda Yumiko corrected her sitting posture, and found that her long-time friend cast narrow eyes.

She pretended not to see it at all, and asked to herself: "What time is it? Why do I feel like I'm hungry?"

"Ten o'clock, it's normal to be hungry."

"Huh? So fast?"

"Yes, you'll miss home if you sleep a little longer."

"Isn't this a good thing to miss?"

Konda Yumiko smiled, raised her head and asked, "Is there any water? I'm so thirsty."

"Only orange juice." Suwon Saki flipped through the bag and handed it over.

"Orange juice would work too."

A few minutes later, the train moved.

Outside the car window, heavy snow fell like goose feathers, and the train was driving at the intersection of light and dark, and soon passed a cave.

"At this time of the year, heavy snow will overflow the threshold. If it is not cleared, it will pile up more and more." Yumiko Kinda said.

"It sounds like a good picture." Natsume commented.

"When I was in elementary school, I was often driven by my mother to shovel snow. I haven't changed this habit until now."

"I said, the snow in the courtyard was shoveled by Mr. Kinda."

"Hey, do you want to give me money?"

"Do you care about students asking for money?"

"Out of school, we're friends."

"...How can friends talk about money?"

"There is now."

While the few people were chatting, the train drove out of the cave and headed towards Akita, which was covered with heavy snow in the distance.

The light suddenly brightened.

Natsume saw the school passing by outside the window, the farmland buried under the snow, and the plum blossoms standing against the wind.

"It's a beautiful place," he said.

"Outsiders think so, but in fact, it feels normal after living for a long time."

"Ok?"

Yumiko Konda yawned, "Akita has towns, shops, and basically everything you need for life, but life has been the same for ten years. When I was in high school, I still felt that I would stay in Akita for the rest of my life."

"Why did you come out later? You even ran to Tokyo."

"You're stupid, of course you went there for the exam." Yumiko Konda gave him a blank look.

After that, she leaned on the seat comfortably again: "When I went out, I was still a little melancholy. I felt a little bit reluctant to leave here."

"I think there must be a touching love story in it, like the farewell in the snow, the meeting under the cherry tree, etc." Natsume said.

"Stop reading manga, Natsume."

"do not have it?"

"If so, why am I single?"

"Too."

Shui Yuanchu giggled, watching the two chatting.

Ten minutes later, the train arrived at the station.

This is a peaceful city.

The three of them left the station, and what greeted them was snow all over the sky.

The cold wind is howling, blowing from the northwest, and the destination is unknown.

"The bus will be here in 10 minutes." Yumiko Konda was wearing gloves, her little face was flushed from the cold.

Natsume handed the hand warmer over, "Such heavy snow, won't the operation stop?"

"How come, even if there is an avalanche, the operation will not be stopped."

"You also said, take me to enjoy the scenery of nature and the environment here." Natsume couldn't help but said while looking at the heavy snow.

Konda Yumiko chuckled: "If you don't say that, why are you willing to come?"

"Unscrupulous teacher, I want to report you to the Ministry of Education."

"Hmph, go, I will definitely gag your mouth before that."

"You two, stop chatting and pay attention to the bus." Suwon Saki reminded.

"Okay," they all agreed.

Five minutes later, warm yellow light pierced through the wind and snow, heading towards the three of them.

Natsume hurriedly got into the car, sat down and patted the snow on his body.

"I'm saved, where are we going next, a hotel?"

"What are you talking about, where is the hotel in this place?" Yumiko Konda said carelessly.

"Huh? Go back with you?"

Natsume was stunned, "When I came here, I didn't say that I would live at Mr. Kinda's house."

"Natsume, didn't she tell you that apart from ordering in advance, you can't rent a house at other times?" Saki Mizuhara turned around after hearing the conversation.

"fraud."

Natsume looked at Yumiko Konda with dissatisfaction, and the latter returned a smug smile, "This is a white lie. I don't want you to spend money to let you live in my house."

The bus is driving in the snow.

Natsume saw the snow-covered power poles, and the roadside fence had been in disrepair for a long time and looked very dilapidated.

Finally, I stopped at a bus station. The cement road here didn't look very ideal and was broken.

The three got out of the car, and Yumiko Konda said goodbye to Suwon Saki: "See you tomorrow, Saki."

"See you tomorrow."

After all, Yumiko Konda carried her luggage, which was a medium-sized suitcase.

She turned her head and said, "Natsume, let's go back too."

"."

Although Natsume was reluctant, he still followed her footsteps.

"Don't be sad, I will take you to ski tomorrow and take you to a hot spring." Yumiko Kinda said.

"Hmph, are you trying to lie to me again?"

"Isn't it also a happy thing to be deceived by a beautiful, gentle and lovely girl like me who is diligent and thrifty?"

"Ms. Kinda's ability to talk nonsense is catching up to me."

After Natsume finished speaking, he looked at the snowy sky with some worries, "Is this kind of weather common in Akita?"

"It's only two days a year. You're really lucky."

Yumiko Konda gave a thumbs up.

In front of Yumiko Konda's house, there is a large piece of barren farmland, and nothing is planted now.

No, probably there are still some, but they are far away and can't see clearly.

There is firewood piled up at the door of the house, and when you take a closer look, this is a very old-fashioned Japanese-style building with sliding doors.

Natsume stopped at the door, "How should I cooperate with you? Let me know in advance, I won't lie."

"I've prepared a speech. Just watch and don't talk." Yumiko Konda was very patient.

'Wow--'

The sliding door opened with an old sound.

"I'm back." She said standing at the door.

Not long after, a middle-aged woman came out from the back room.

"Yumiko?"

She turned her head and stared at Natsume in a daze: "Who is this?"

"My landlord." Yumiko Konda smiled, pulled Natsume over and said, "You look very young, don't you?"

"That's right. She doesn't look like an adult at all." Sachiko Konda showed a puzzled look.

"He was born like this, so don't be envious. This is Natsume-kun's admission letter from Waseda University. As for the graduation certificate, it has been lost and we didn't find it when we came here." Yumiko Konda said, handing the certificate to her mother.

Konda Sachiko took a few glances, and half of the doubts in her heart were dispelled.

She invited the two of them in, and her attitude became much more enthusiastic.

"What are you learning, lawyer?" She pulled Yumiko Konda and whispered.

"Yes, I'm currently studying. I'm a senior graduate. I'm going to work when I get my lawyer's license."

"Lawyers earn a lot of money. As far as I remember, the worst one has an annual salary of 700 million?"

"Didn't the blind date before be a lawyer? You don't know about this?" Yumiko Konda asked.

"I lied to you." Sachiko Konda said calmly.

"Huh?" The latter was confused.

"If I don't say that, why are you willing to come back?"

"."

Recalling Natsume, who was also such a fool, Konda Yumiko felt relieved a lot.

While chatting, Sachiko Konda showed concern again: "You two are four years apart in age, wouldn't it be inappropriate?"

"It's only four years old, what's the matter?" Yumiko Konda was a little dissatisfied.

"Look, he is young, good-looking, and will have a stable income in the future, a 27-year-old leftover girl like you."

"I do not want to talk with you."

"Oh, broken defense?"

"Where did you learn these words?"

"the Internet."

"."

Natsume, who didn't understand what they were talking about, changed her shoes at the entrance, put on her slippers and walked inside after a bit of annoyance.

"Where's father?" Yumiko Konda asked.

"He can't be free, he is preparing firewood for the winter. I think he will come back after the inspection of the diesel engine is finished." Sachiko Kinda said.

The living room was large, twice the size of Natsume's house, and the TV was on. It seemed to be a fishing program.

"Go and put your luggage first, we'll have dinner later." Yumiko Konda said as she pushed Natsume at the door of the living room.

"okay."

Natsume responded, and followed Yumiko Konda to the second floor.

There are three rooms on the second floor, and Yumiko Konda's is in the second room. It is said that she has a younger brother who is in high school, but he is not at home now.

"The one inside is yours, tell me if there is something missing, and go to the supermarket in the town to buy it in the afternoon."

Natsume nodded and opened the door.

The space inside was neither too big nor too small. There was a bed against the wall and a desk in front of the window.

He put the luggage into the room and smelled a very faint aroma of herbs.

"It used to be a place for medicinal herbs, but it was renovated and turned into a room for entertaining guests." Yumiko Konda explained.

"I see."

Natsume put the luggage in the room, then tidied it up, and sat at the table looking at the heavy snow outside the window.

Outside the window, a car was coming back from a distance, emitting white smoke.

The car was loaded with firewood, and a middle-aged man got down from it, and seemed to notice Natsume's gaze, and looked up at him.

Both showed surprised looks, but then nodded.

Natsume thought, this should be Mr. Kinda's father.

During lunch, Natsume came down from upstairs.

Kinda's lunch is also eaten in the living room.

A large square wooden table with burnt taro, miso soup, vegetable salad, grilled fish, and hamburger meat.

"Come here." Yumiko Konda had been waiting downstairs, and when she saw Natsume arrived, she greeted her repeatedly.

Her voice also attracted the attention of several people nearby.

At the dining table, the middle-aged man, Yumiko Konda's father, raised his head, glanced at Natsume, and introduced himself, "Hideki Konda, please give me your advice."

"I am here."

Natsume said his name, greeting.

Compared with Yumiko Konda's mother, this middle-aged man didn't talk much, and he didn't pay too much attention to Natsume's appearance and age.

On the other side was a young man with a green skin and a cropped head.Looking at Natsume with curious eyes.

"Your future brother-in-law." Sachiko Konda whispered in his ear, "Remember to say something nice."

The boy was taken aback when he heard it, and then kept looking at Natsume with strange eyes.

At the dinner table, Konda Yumiko's mother routinely said polite words, if there was no trouble, and if it was a hard journey, the small place didn't have good things to entertain.

Natsume had experienced this kind of scene in her previous life, so she naturally wouldn't panic and answered calmly.

This satisfied Mr. Konda's mother.

After dinner, Konda Yumiko was taken to wash the dishes, while Natsume stayed in the living room, looking at the miscellaneous books on the bookshelf.

"Hello." The boy closed the sliding door of the living room and sat down beside Natsume.

"Hayato-kun? What's the matter?" Natsume replied.

"Are you really going to marry her?" Konda Hayato asked with a curious look.

Natsume shook his head and said, "No one knows what will happen in the future."

"I was thinking, why would someone be so blind and find that man-in-law as his wife." Konda Hayato showed a clear look, "You were threatened by her, right?"

"Huh?" Xia Mu's eyes widened.

"It must be, with that woman's character, she definitely got hold of your secret, and then used it to blackmail you." He said with certainty.

Konda Hayato glanced left and right: "You still have time to run now, if you are caught by such a difficult woman, it will be really dangerous."

"My dear brother, what impolite words are you talking about?" Yumiko Konda came out of the kitchen and said with a smile.

Hayato Konda shut his mouth and didn't say a word.

"Come here, I have something to say." Yumiko Konda smiled and held his ear, going to have a heart-to-heart talk.

Before leaving, she told Natsume, "Take a break and don't come out."
