Natsume-kun just wants to live

Chapter 422 Ushering in the End of the New Year ([-])

On New Year's morning, it was colder than Natsume thought.

Covering his gloves, he looked back at the campsite that was gradually moving away, and sighed.

"Why, are you reluctant? Do you want to go back and stay for a few more days?" Yugong Hui turned to look at him.

"How could he not be willing to part with the wooden house? He obviously couldn't do without Mr. Jintian."

Yumi Sato put down her phone, "When I woke up in the morning, I saw him chatting with Sensei Konda in the living room, and even gave her something."

"That's New Year's blessing." Natsume looked away.

"Now that things have happened, don't tell such an obvious lie in front of us."

Yu Gonghui grabbed his collar, "Tell me, what did you give her?"

Sato Yumi raised the corners of her mouth and showed an interesting smile. She turned her head to look at Suzune, who also pricked up her ears.

"Ema for New Year's Wishes."

"Ok?"

"And postcards."

"That's all?" Yu Gonghui asked coldly.

"That's all." Natsume nodded repeatedly.

She let go of her hand, leaned back on the seat, and yawned lazily, "I thought it was something, something boring."

"Wait, did you just ask?" Natsume turned his head.

"No?" She said in a bad tone.

"No. I thought you were angry."

Yu Gonghui snorted coldly, but did not speak.

"If you don't tell Hui, she will be really angry." Yumi Sato teased.

"It's quite possible."

"I'm going to sleep, can you be quiet, Natsume?"

"okay."

"Megumi has become so strong recently." Sato Yumi said in front, she tugged on Suzune's sleeve, "Are you feeling stressed?"

"Yumi, have you forgotten what department I am from?" Miyagawa Suzune replied.

"I've heard people say that no matter how good the sword is, it's still not as good as guns." Yumi Sato said to herself.

"stop!"

Natsume leaned forward and pinched Yumi's face: "Don't fight anymore! Let me have a new year with peace of mind!"

"Hmm..." Yumi Sato wanted to say something more, but her mouth was blocked.

"open."

Megumi and Suzune said in unison, casting cold gazes at the same time.

"Damn it. Are you only bullying me now?" Natsume sat back and gave Yumi a warning look.

Whether the latter saw it or not is another matter.

Ten minutes later, everyone got off the bus and transferred to a bullet train.

The train station was deserted, except for the tourists traveling and the flight attendants on the platform, there was no one at all.

"It feels like contracting a moving car." Yumi Sato said while walking, "Look, it's so empty."

"How about going to buy a bento, it's already noon when we go back," Natsume suggested.

"Okay." Yumi nodded.

"it is good."

Hui and Suzune agreed, but they didn't move, they just looked at him.

". Shall I go?" Natsume asked, pointing at himself.

"if not?"

Amamiya Kei crossed her arms, "You have time to be considerate of Yumiko, but don't you have the mood to take care of us?"

"Lingyin also thinks so, Natsume is too partial, don't you have any bad thoughts about that teacher?" The witch next to her agreed.

Yumi Sato raised her face with a smile, the meaning was obvious.

"Okay." Natsume had no choice but to go out alone.

When he came back again, Natsume had four lunch boxes in his hand, all of which were sufficient.

'Wow.'

The bullet train started, and Natsume sat by the window, looking at the passing scenery outside the window like a horse on a horse.

He thought of Hui's smiling face last night, but when he turned his head again, she was still indifferent and calm.

This is indeed regrettable.

"On the first day of the new year, does Natsume have any plans?" Miyagawa Suzune asked.

"Clean at home first, and then go to the shrine." Natsume opened the bento.

Yumi glanced over, "Eat so early?"

"I'm very hungry."

"Where's Yumi?" Miyagawa Suzune turned her head.

"I'll go with him," Sato Yumi said.

After saying this, Amamiya Hui glanced at Yumi.

"What's the matter, Megumi?"

"."

Yu Gonghui didn't answer and kept silent.

It's just that her little eyes flickered on Lingyin's body.

"That's not good, Yumi's family needs you too, so it's nothing to be with Natsume." Suzune immediately objected as she expected.

"What's wrong, I used to be like this, I often ran outside."

"In short, you are a minor, you are not allowed to come to the shrine with boys, I will drive you out."

"What kind of witch are you?"

"I'm not a witch anymore, you can call me Miss Miyagawa." Suzune said with a playful smile.

Natsume helped explain: "Suzune has already completed the training of a witch, so she doesn't need to be responsible for this job in the future."

"Eh"

Yumi Sato tugged at his sleeve, "It's decided not to go to Asakusa Shrine."

"you dare?!"

"Two."

Natsume whispered: "If you think it's inappropriate, do you want us to come together?"

"Tsk." Miyagawa Suzune stared at him, "Natsume, do you have any other ideas?"

"Absolutely not!"

Suzune glanced at Hui, who nodded.

"I want to ask, why did you drag me when you quarreled?"

Yu Gonghui teased, "But I have nothing else to do, but I can obey your willfulness."

"." Natsume hesitated to speak.

Yu Gonghui glanced at him, "Speak up if you have something to say, as if I won't let you speak."

"I told you you won't be angry?"

"will not."

"OK, that"

"It's just to see you unhappy."

"It's not angry!"

Miyagawa Lingyin said quietly: "Since Ms. Amamiya is so reluctant, we won't force it."

"That's right." Yumi nodded frantically.

Yu Gonghui ignored them and turned to stare at Natsume: "Do you think so too?"

".Ask me what I'm doing. I'm eating." His chopsticks patted slowly.

"An indecisive man is easy to be hacked." She said softly.

"I object!"

Natsume raised her hands, "Mei must come!"

"."

Yumi Sato sighed, "Can't you hold on?"

"Yumi, when you switch to my angle, you will do the same thing."

"If I were you, I wouldn't provoke so many people." Yumi Sato retorted.

"."

Natsume stopped talking.

Apart from guilty conscience, the gazes of the other three were a little indifferent.

The three-hour journey passed by in a hurry.

Everyone bid farewell at the tram stop and went back with their luggage.

"See you in the afternoon." Miyagawa Suzune said.

"Ah."

Natsume and Yumi go back to Chiba.

After not going home for a week, the house was full of cold air. When Natsume came to the courtyard, he found that the plum blossoms had some buds.

In the center of the square wooden table in the living room, there is a letter left by Sayuri.

Natsume sat down, picked up the letter paper and flipped through it.

It was preached that during this time, Sayuri went to Hokkaido again and met a new friend.

The specialty product she brought back from Hokkaido was placed in the bedroom by her, it was a ball of tea bags.

"If I have time, I will take my friends home to play." - Sayuri.

"."

Natsume collected the letter and put it in the file bag.

Yumi also packed her luggage and came to the living room, "Let's clean up."

"Ah."

"Hui sent me an email just now, saying that she will arrange a car to come over in the afternoon and take us to her place."

Natsume nodded, and asked again: "Where is she now, where is she?"

"It is said that he has returned home."

"If you go home."

Natsume thought of the Amamiya family in Chiyoda district, so he nodded and stopped asking.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the weather cleared up.

After three days of heavy snow, the sun passed through the shade of the trees and fell on Xia Mu's head.

"Is it packed?" he asked back.

"All right."

Yumi Sato tied the scarf and came out, all the nail polish on her hands was wiped off.

She locked the door and took Natsume's arm, "Let's go, Hui should be in a hurry."

"Yumi's been in there too long."

"Ah, I can't help it. Visiting a shrine is a very serious matter. I have to find a way to put on light makeup that doesn't offend the gods."

"."

Unable to understand, Natsume got into the car arranged by Megumi Amemiya.

The car drove to Bunkyo District, and the destination was Yu Gonghui's private villa.

Hui stood at the door, in front of the gate.

She changed into a gray cardigan and a cashmere sweater, a pair of navy blue jeans under her body, and a cool-colored bag in her hand.

From a distance, she is intellectual and charming, like a queen in the workplace, completely different from the youthful and bright Yumi.

"Mei, long time no see." Sato Yumi greeted from a distance.

"It's only one morning."

Amamiya Megumi has long been used to Yumi's occasional thick lines, and she responded and walked in front of Natsume: "How is it?"

"nice."

"Next time, use another word to describe my beauty." After Yugong Hui finished speaking, she got into the car and raised her graceful legs.

"."

Natsume and Yumi looked at each other, and the two talked quietly for a while, which was interrupted by the latter's soft cough.

"According to the plan, we are going to the shrine where the witch is." Amamiya Hui folded his hands, "But I asked her just now, and she said that there are a lot of people now, and we can take a walk on the sidewalk under the mountain."

"Hui has Suzune's contact information?" Natsume asked.

"Being forced by the elders, in fact, I don't want to."

She put down the phone, "Since I added it ten years ago, today is the first conversation."

"It's terrible, the lady of the big family is really terrible." Yumi Sato muttered to herself.

"You are also considered a young lady." Natsume reminded.

"What am I?"

While the three were talking, the car was driving at a crowded intersection.

When it comes to the new year, all families go out to visit the shrine to get a good omen for the new year.

The car stopped at a spacious intersection, Natsume pushed open the door, and smelled the smell of green grass brought by the cold wind.

In the distance, the priest is beginning to clear the snow on the approach.

He, Hui, and Yumi walked on the green path, admiring the scenery at the foot of the mountain.

"Even in winter, the trees here don't shed their leaves," Sato Yumi said.

"The varieties that were planted were all cold-resistant." Natsume explained, "If you think about it, if the trees in the shrine were bare, there would be no tourists coming."

"Makes sense."

"There is a sign on it, camphor tree." Yu Gonghui gave her a helpless look, "Yumi, don't you know how to read?"

"Oh"

Passing through the crowds, walking along the trail with flying leaves, and finally stopped in front of a stone wall.

On the top of the stone wall, there is a shrine.

"What kind of god is that? Do you want to worship him?"

"that?"

Natsume looked up, smiled and said, "If you want to speak the word of God, maybe it counts."

"You know him?" Yu Gonghui asked.

She just looked at it for a while, but she didn't know what it was, but since it was hung in Asakusa Shrine, it must have been put by the witch.

"He is in charge of appetite, he is the controller of curiosity and playfulness, he advocates travel, he is the god of beauty and slenderness, and I am his faithful believer."

"Why have I never heard of it, you wouldn't lie to us, would you?" Yumi Sato asked.

"There are 800 million gods in Japan. It's normal that you haven't heard of them." Natsume said.

He walked under the altar, touched his pocket, put the candy he received on Christmas Eve in the altar, and bowed.

"Is that all right?"

"That's good. After about two weeks, the candy will be gone."

"Nonsense, it will definitely be blown away by the wind." Yumi said.

Natsume pondered, "It is indeed possible."

So he stuffed the candy inside.

Yu Gonghui stood aside, looking at the shrine thoughtfully.She glanced at Natsume, but said nothing.

After Yumi left, Hui came over, "The one in your family?"

"Ah."

"Why is it related to the Miyagawa family?"

"She is the ancestor of the Miyagawa family."

Yu Gonghui widened her beautiful eyes, showing an incredible expression.

Natsume was very enthusiastic, "I still have one at home, I will introduce it to you when it comes out some other day."

"No need." Yu Gonghui's face darkened, and he turned and left.

"It's okay, they are all very friendly female ghosts, they won't harm anyone."

"you shut up."

After walking down the mountain for a while, the three of them walked up the mountain along the torii gate and walked on both sides of the approach when there were few tourists.

Miyagawa Suzune was waiting in the shrine. She stood in front of the door and waved from a distance when she saw Natsume.

"This way~~"

"It's been a hard walk." Yumi Sato wiped off the fine sweat on her forehead, "There are people on the road, obviously it's afternoon."

"There were more people last night, and the police came out to maintain order."

"Miko is really hard."

"This is also impossible."

After finishing speaking, Miyagawa Suzune led a few people inside, "I'll take you to pay homage to the gods."

"There's no need for Natsume, he paid homage just now at the foot of the mountain." Yumi said.

"Under the mountain?"

Miyagawa Suzune was stunned for a moment, then as if remembering something, she looked at him amusedly: "What did you give?"

"candy."

"She should like it." Suzune said with a smile.

"I think so too."

"In that shrine, there really are gods." Yumi Sato went up and communicated with Suzune.

"Of course, it has a long history with the Miyagawa family."

"Eh"

Ignoring their conversation, Natsume walked through the main hall and bowed before the incense pool.

After bowing, he looked at Chizi in a daze.

This used to be the place where Sayuri worked and brought many legends to the shrine.

The lonely ghost who takes money in the middle of the night, the gods left in Asakusa Shrine
These are all derived from Sayuri's activities.

Times have changed, and she still comes in to get some money now. It wasn't until one day that Sayuri, who happened to take the money, was bumped into by May, and the truth came to light.

The host, Miyagawa Suzune, also strictly prohibited this kind of behavior.

Suzune looked at Natsume, found him staring at the pool in a daze, and guessed what Natsume was thinking.

After waiting for him to ring the pendulum bell and throw money into the pool, Lingyin kicked him lightly.

"What are you kicking me for?" Natsume turned around with a smile.

"You know why."

Miyagawa Suzune looked up at the beautiful swan's neck, and gave him an annoyed look.
