designer who lives in the next room

Natsume Haruko looked much happier now than before.

Volume [-]#I have no friends here

Soon Natsume Haruko found the next target. It was a black goldfish, smaller than the previous one. It looked like a pretty good target, but it stayed in the fish school all the time. What should I do? It's not a small problem to get him out of the school without disturbing him.

Although the whole body of the fish was black, it was still very beautiful. After looking at it for a long time, Natsume Haruko felt that it was necessary to try it, so she put the paper net into the water again and moved closer to the target. This time her The hand became much more stable, but the fish still didn't notice the approach of the paper net.

When passing by other goldfish, Natsume Haruko made some small movements to let them notice, so all the goldfish except her target goldfish swam away one after another, and soon only that one was left in the school Little black fish.

Seeing that her method worked, Natsume Haruko showed some smug expressions on her face, but she was not happy at this time, she had to avoid the last mistake, and she had to be more calm.

The paper net was lifted up slowly, and the black goldfish remained motionless. Everyone thought that Natsume Haruko could succeed this time, but just as the paper net was about to leave the water with the goldfish, the goldfish swayed violently again, Once again, he broke the fishing net and ran out.

The smug expression on Natsume Haruko's face instantly turned full of disappointment. For some reason, she always made mistakes at the end, and always lost the chain at the most critical moment.

Everyone felt a little pity, because the goldfish was only one step away from the water.

"It's really a pity." The boss also squatted down, "Do you want to try again?"

Originally, Natsume Haruko wanted to refuse, but it might not be good to leave like this. She only used the opportunity given to her by the boss, and now she left without spending a penny, making her look like a miser.So Natsume Haruko nodded and asked the boss to give her ten nets. She has made up her mind that she must catch at least one fish today.

But after the previous two failures, Natsume Haruko's heart and hands became more and more impatient, either because she was too impatient or because her hands were shaking, the goldfish ran away one by one, and now she only has a paper net left. of.

"..." The boss doesn't know how to comfort Natsume Haruko anymore. He is already a middle-aged uncle, and he has no experience in comforting such a little girl, but he has already thought about it. After the last net was broken, he had better catch a goldfish and give it to her.

This is the last chance, Natsume Haruko looked at the paper net in her hand and tried hard to recall the feeling when she was a child, but it was too long ago, she couldn't remember how she picked up the goldfish at that time, she even suspected that it was the paper net at that time The quality is better than the current one.

"You can't do that." Suddenly, Natsume Haruko heard a girl's voice, she turned her head and saw a girl with twin ponytails looking at her. Wearing a kimono, the smile on the face is beautiful.

"What?" Natsume Haruko didn't know what the girl was talking about, so she asked her.

"I mean you misplaced when you chose the fish." The girl replied Natsume Haruko, and pointed to the fish in the pond, "You always choose the goldfish that is beautiful and in the middle of the fish school, that is not allowed of."

Natsume Haruko thought about it, she had been trying to catch the fish in the middle of the fish school, because those fish were very beautiful and she liked them, but she didn't know what was wrong with her.

"So what's the problem?" Natsume Haruko continued to ask, she was curious what the girl would say next.

"Think about why those goldfish are in the middle of the school of fish?" The girl asked Natsume Haruko a question instead, "Only those who are frightened or afraid will hide in the middle?"

The girl's words hit Natsume Haruko's head like a bolt of lightning. Fish do have this habit. Those who have just been frightened will hide in the middle of the school of fish, so the fish in the center of the school of fish look at the other fish There is no difference, but in fact, the heart is still in a tense mood, no wonder Haruko Natsume can't get what she wants.

"Understood?" After seeing the "suddenly enlightened" expression on Natsume Haruko's face, the girl also smiled, "So you have to change your target."

Natsume Haruko nodded, this time she was looking for fish that were not in the school.

Soon she had a new target, this time it was a red goldfish, swimming leisurely all the time, but it was a little bigger.

"Also, you always shake your hand at the end." The girl spoke again when Natsume Haruko was about to put the paper net into the water, but with the sound, the girl stretched out her hand and held Natsume Haruko hands.

Suddenly being caught in her hand by a strange girl, Natsume Haruko's body visibly trembled, but she relaxed after feeling that the girl was harmless.Taking advantage of Natsume Haruko's focus on the fish and her own hands, the girl quietly moved some distance to Natsume Haruko's side, and quietly let her body and Natsume Haruko's body stick together.

"If you want to do this, take your time." The girl's mouth is next to Natsume Haruko's ear, her voice is very magnetic, and the airflow brought out by her words blows on Natsume Haruko's ear, Natsume Haruko's face is now blushing stand up.

The girl held Natsume Haruko's hand and slowly approached the unsuspecting fish. At this time, Natsume Haruko had no strength, so it was easy for the girl to control the fishing net.

"Then suddenly!" The girl said again, and then lifted Natsume Haruko's hand abruptly. The goldfish was lifted above the water without reacting. Two times did not break the paper net.

In this way, Natsume Haruko got the goldfish she wanted.

The boss helped her put the goldfish into a small bag and returned it to Natsume Haruko. After Natsume Haruko thanked the boss, she turned around and found that the girl had left.

Natsume Haruko still remembered the girl's hairstyle and the pattern of the kimono, so she saw her on the road without any trouble.

She was alone, too, but didn't seem to feel bad about being alone.The girl seemed to be very interested in many things, and would always stop at the door of the store to have a look.

Natsume Haruko tried her best to squeeze through the crowd and walked towards the girl, and finally caught up with her after passing by four or five shops.

The girl noticed the rushing Natsume Haruko, and tilted her head to look at her, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Natsume Haruko raised the goldfish in her hand, "This should be yours, I didn't catch it."

"That's right." The girl laughed after hearing what Natsume Haruko said, her smile was really pretty, "You picked him up."

"But, it's you..." Natsume Haruko remembered the feeling when the girl was talking beside her just now, and couldn't help but pause, "I picked it up because you held my hand, so this fish should belong to you ..."

The girl smiled again, and then raised her hand. In the same hand, she also held a bag with a goldfish in it.

"I have one too." The girl pointed to the bag in her hand, "So we each have one, you can keep the one in your hand, but don't feed it to death."

"..." Natsume Haruko was silent for a while, looked at other places and then at the girl's face, "Thank you."

"You don't have to thank me at all." The girl waved her hand, she looked behind Natsume Haruko, and saw that no one came to her all this time, "Could it be that you came here to play alone?"

Natsume Haruko didn't have any friends herself, she nodded decisively when faced with the girl's question, she didn't think it was a big deal.

"Wow, I didn't expect to meet someone like me here." The girl was surprised and happy, "I can't believe it, after all, you are so good-looking."

"No...it's not that..." Natsume Haruko was a little shy when she was told, but when she was about to be humble, the girl interrupted her.

"Then can we hang out together? We are alone anyway." The girl's face was full of expectations, but Natsume Haruko actually refused in her heart, because she wanted to go home immediately after getting the goldfish, but looking at The anticipation on the girl's face, thinking that she helped her just now, there is no way to say the words of refusal.

"It's okay..." Natsume Haruko nodded. She didn't know this girl, and she didn't know herself either, but it wouldn't be a problem if she just walked around the festival casually.

"Great, can you tell me your name?" The girl became excited, and forgot that she was still holding a goldfish in her hand. If Haruko Natsume hadn't caught the bag that was thrown flying by her in time, the Goldfish may be going to heaven to report.

"Really, be careful..." Natsume Haruko returned the bag to the girl, "My name is Natsume Haruko, what about you?"

"I..." The girl answered Natsume Haruko while checking to see if her goldfish was okay, "My name is Nanase Nami, and you are Miss Natsume. Your name sounds nice."

Nanase Nami's mouth was full of compliments. Although Natsume Haruko liked to hear it, she still felt shy after hearing too much.

"Don't keep saying that..." Natsume Haruko cleared her throat, "Miss Nanase, why are you playing here alone? Where are your friends?"

Nanase Nami and Natsume Haruko stood shoulder to shoulder, "I'm not from this city, so my friends are all in my hometown. I came here to find a job. The wages of temporary workers in my hometown are too low. It's better in a big city." .”

Nanase Nami talked much more than Natsume Haruko, always Natsume Haruko asked her a question and she would answer a long list, and going to the celebration with Natsume Haruko seemed to make her very happy.

"What about you, Ms. Natsume, are you from another city?" Nanase Nami remembered that she still didn't know why Natsume Haruko was alone, so she stopped to introduce herself and asked her.

"I'm from this city..." Natsume Haruko replied calmly, "But I don't have any friends here."

Volume [-]#I want all of these

She has a different personality from Natsume Haruko, or Nanase Nami and other people have different personalities. She obviously just talked to Natsume Haruko at this celebration ten minutes ago, but at this time she already seems to be with Natsume Haruko. She has known her for a long time, and she keeps talking with her mouth.

Natsume Haruko didn't feel that this girl named Nanase Nami had any malicious intentions from the beginning to the end, but she was a little too enthusiastic about her enthusiasm, but Natsume Haruko was not disgusted with the current situation. Feeling more interested.

The goldfish in the bag in his hand was swimming non-stop. It didn't look like he was afraid, but more of a curiosity.This goldfish seems to be participating in the celebration for the first time. It is very interested in the dazzling array of goods outside the bag and the non-stop moving crowd, as if it also seems to figure out why it is so lively here.

It is not at all surprising that two equally beautiful girls walked side by side on the street where the celebration was held. No one would doubt the relationship between them who are similar in age, but they do have a high rate of turning heads. All the people passing by them didn't want to look at them two more times.

There were people of all ages at the celebration, but no one ever approached Natsume Haruko, who was single at first glance, and Nanase Nami, Nanase Nami was fine, judging from her expression, she didn't seem like someone who hated talking to others Natsume Haruko is different. Although she occasionally smiles after meeting Nanase Nami, the aura she exudes from her whole body is still that kind of "untouchable" feeling. Nanase Nami early I noticed this kind of aura exuding from Natsume Haruko, and I enjoyed the feeling that no one came to talk to Natsume Haruko. After all, since she came to this celebration alone, she has been talked to more than ten times. time.

After getting along with Natsume Haruko for a while, Nanase Nami also somewhat understood why Natsume Haruko said that she has no friends. If she used to face strangers like this all the time, how could she make friends if she was not very proactive? .

But Nanase Nami still finds it a bit unbelievable. This Haruko Natsume, who is about the same age as her, looks like she will be 23 or 4 years old this year. There should be one or two friends who can talk to each other.

"Then what does Miss Natsume usually do?" Nanase Nami asked Natsume Haruko after thinking about the problem in her mind. She was curious about what the life of this woman who stayed alone all the time was like. "You really don't care what you do. Are you all alone?"

After listening to Nanase Nami's introduction of her own life, Natsume Haruko thought that she would ask herself this question, so now she has no resistance to her question at all, but her usual life is indeed a bit difficult to talk about. Who would have thought that a beautiful girl like her spends her days playing games and reading comics at home?

"I... I usually just stay at home... watching TV or something." Natsume Haruko said a little embarrassedly, this was the first time she felt a little shy after meeting Nanase Nami, and there was a look on her face. Some blush, quite cute under the orange lights of the celebration, "I'm not always alone..."

Sure enough, Natsume Haruko still has someone who can talk, Nanase Nami felt a little more relaxed, and she just said, how can there be people in this world who don't even have a friend.

Natsume Haruko must be hiding something about her daily life. She must be hiding something that she doesn't want others to know. Don't look at Nanase Nami as a familiar character, and she seems a little naive, but she is a smart person. This is just talking to Natsume Haruko, the two of them are not familiar with each other yet, if they ask the bottom line now, it will definitely make Natsume Haruko feel disgusted.

So Nanase Nami stopped asking about Natsume Haruko's daily life and asked about other things.

"Look, there is always someone by your side." Nanase Nami's tone of voice seemed very satisfied, but her face immediately turned into a puzzled expression, "Since someone is usually with Miss Natsume, then Why didn't she accompany you to this celebration?"

"Because, because she still has to work today..." Natsume Haruko thought of her mother, and the celebration here is a festival. With the power of her family, many people will visit her mother at home today, although Natsume Haruko's mother is also very happy. She wants to go to the celebration with her daughter, but she can't leave all those people at home.

Even the bald uncle who has been taking care of her is getting married this year, and Natsume's mother also asked him to accompany his wife to the celebration, maybe we can meet again here.

Hearing Natsume Haruko's answer, the expression on Nanase Nami's face changed from doubt to a little surprised, "I still have to work... Could it be that Natsume Haruko's friend is a very old person?"

"Why are you so surprised?" Natsume Haruko was a little puzzled, she suspected that Nanase Nami had misunderstood something, so she hurriedly explained to her, "I'm talking about my mother, she is always with me, but She is very busy when it comes to celebrations, so she can't come here to play with me."

Natsume Haruko thinks this explanation is normal, and this is indeed her daily life. Natsume Haruko spends more time with her mother than with other people combined, and Natsume Haruko doesn’t think this is meaningful at all. something wrong.

But it is such a reason that Natsume Haruko thinks is normal, but Nanase Nami sounds even more strange. A 23 or 4-year-old girl usually likes to stay at home, and she is still with her mother... …

"Miss Natsume, you..." Nanase Nami looked at Natsume Haruko's face, trying to see an expression of "I'm joking with you" on her face, but Natsume Haruko's expression did not change from the beginning to the end, "You, You won't be a mother-controller, will you?"

It was the first time for Natsume Haruko to hear the word "maternal control". She had no idea what the word meant.

"Huh?" Nanase Nami turned her head to Natsume Haruko, unexpectedly she didn't even understand the meaning of this word, "I mean you don't like your mother, do you?"

Nanase Nami might be a little excited. She felt that something was wrong just after she finished speaking. She forgot to understand the meaning of Natsume Haruko's question just now. For a girl like her, it is impossible not to know "mother control" "The meaning of this word, but she still asked it again, could it be telling Nanase Nami tactfully not to ask any more questions?

But fortunately, after Natsume Haruko stopped Nanase Nami's words, there was no disgusted expression on her face. She recollected Nanase Nami's words, and then she understood what Nanase Nami meant by "maternal control"?

"What... what... I... How could I have that kind of feeling for my mother..." Even Haruko Natsume didn't know why she was so flustered, and even fought when she denied Nanase Nami's words stutter.

Natsume Haruko feels that she only has respect for her mother, and that her mother has always taken care of her, so she likes to stay with her, but is it a bit too much to say that she likes her mother? ...

Nanase Nami who had just finished asking the question felt that something was wrong. Even Haruko Natsume's stammering answer was easily misunderstood. I feel that Natsume Haruko has special feelings for her mother. If she is really a "mother control", it is better for an outsider not to ask too much about such strange feelings.

"Ah, over there, there are fireworks over there!" Nanase Nami hurriedly changed the subject after seeing a store selling fireworks not far away, she directly took Natsume Haruko's hand and went over there He ran over, "Miss Natsume also likes to set off fireworks, right?"

If it was just an ordinary girl, she would not feel a little bit about being pulled up by the same sex suddenly, but as a woman who likes women, Natsume Haruko suddenly felt a little strange when she was held back by Nanase Nami like this a feeling of.She couldn't remember what it was like to hold hands with a girl last time. Looking at the back of Nanase Nami who was in front of her, Natsume Haruko shook her head vigorously.

That feeling must be caused by staying alone for too long. This Nanase Nami does not seem to be a woman with a similar sexual orientation to her.

"Which one do you like?" Nanase Nami didn't know what kind of fireworks to choose, so she picked up a bunch of them and turned to ask Natsume Haruko, but the latter had no experience in choosing fireworks, and usually someone at home would go there For purchasing, you just need to watch the fireworks take off.

"It turns out that Miss Natsume doesn't know either..." Nanase Nami showed some confused expressions on her face, she looked at the things she was holding in her hands, "I really like these, but I can only buy a few of them. Well, fireworks are so expensive now..."

Looking at Nanase Nami's expression and looking at the unit price of the fireworks, after thinking for a while, Natsume Haruko took a few types that she was more interested in from the table.Before coming to the celebration, she planned to buy something here and go home. Anyway, she thought the celebration was not interesting, but since she met Nanase Nami in the goldfish shop, her mood has changed. Ever since she grew up For the first time, she felt that the celebration would make her feel happy.

"You can take those." Natsume Haruko opened her wallet, took out a big bill and handed it to the boss, "And the ones in my hand, I want them all."

Nanase Nami was shocked again, this time her mouth was wide open, she is a guy who came here from a small city, she couldn't find a long-term job and could only rely on part-time jobs for a living, she looked at Haruko Natsume's rich appearance, Then carefully calculated the price of these fireworks, the price of these fireworks that can be set off in ten minutes is enough to eat dinner for a week...

"Rich...rich woman..." Nanase Nami swallowed, looking at Natsume Haruko and muttering to herself.

Volume [-]#I came here to find my sister

The fireworks were bought, but neither Natsume Haruko nor Nanase Nami had any experience in lighting fireworks by themselves. Neither of them had a clear idea of ​​how long it would take for the fireworks to take off after lighting the fuse.

The two of them have come to the beach by the sea, and there are also some people who set off fireworks here. Thanks to Nanase Nami's familiar character, if Natsume Haruko is the only one, she will definitely not go back and ask someone how to light these fireworks .

Nanase Nami asked for an incense stick from someone else, and her head was lit. If you use this to light the fuse, it will not be easy to get hurt.After Natsume Haruko stuck a firework on the beach, she avoided it far away. Although she knew that the firework would not explode on the ground, she was still a little scared.

"You, be careful..." Originally, Nanase Nami had already made up her mind to light the fireworks, but suddenly she heard Natsume Haruko who was hiding in the distance shouting to herself, and she had already made up her mind at this time. I don't know where I went.

"Really, don't you want to hide a little further... The guy who can't help at all just shut up and watch..." Nanase Nami turned to Natsume Haruko and made her a Shut up gesture.

Seeing her like this, Natsume Haruko knew that she was definitely not really angry. Nanase Nami must be very nervous now, so she didn't plan to continue disturbing Nanase Nami. Seeing that Katou was about to touch the lead wire , Natsume Haruko hid behind a tree next to her again.

This time, Nanase Nami made up her mind. The moment the fuse was ignited, she turned around and ran towards Natsume Haruko. She may have never run so far in her life.I don't know if it's because she ran too fast, or because the fuse burned slowly. When Nanase Nami ran to Natsume Haruko's side, the fuse had just reached the first firework.

Suddenly there was a "bang", and the first firework flew towards the sky. This is not a big firework, so the height of the flight is not high, but when it exploded, the gorgeous scene was a little more beautiful. Nothing like the fireworks you see at a festival.

Soon this tube of son’s fireworks will be ignited. There is a lot of time, but Nanase Nami and Natsume Haruko are very happy. With the first experience, it will not be so nervous to light fireworks later. Natsume Haruko, who only dared to stay behind, took the initiative to order it once.

Most of the fireworks I bought were lit, and the two of them couldn't move anymore. Natsume Haruko and Nanase Nami sat on the beach to rest. Although there were not many lights here, the fireworks that kept exploding in the sky made this place very crowded. Brightly lit.

"I said, Miss Nanase, are you from Kansai?" Natsume Haruko looked at the sea level in the distance and asked Nanase Nami who was sitting beside her.

After the latter heard the question, he immediately turned his head to look at Haruko Natsume, "Ah... Is it still recognized? I thought my Kansai accent was already beyond the reach of others..."

Nanase Nami was a little confused. In order to come here, she had been practicing the way people here spoke, but she didn't expect that her Kansai accent was still so strong to others.Many people think that the Kansai dialect is very rustic and funny, but Natsume Haruko has never thought so. She once went to Kansai with her mother, and she thinks Kansai people speak very cutely.

Natsume Haruko shook her head, "That's not the case. Although Ms. Nanase does have a Kansai accent when she's excited, that's not why I guess you're from Kansai."

Nanase Nami looked at Natsume Haruko curiously. She didn't know how Natsume Haruko could tell where she was from other than the dialect.

"It's mainly your personality. In my impression, people from Kansai are very familiar, so I felt that way when I saw you for the first time." Haruko Natsume continued to explain to Nami Nanase, "When I heard the Kansai accent coming out of your mouth when you were happy and excited, I knew you were from Kansai."

Nanase Nami nodded. She did have the problem of speaking Kansai dialect when she was excited. After listening to Natsume Haruko, Nanase Nami suddenly felt a little lonely. She retracted her legs and hugged her with both hands. I touched my knees, and followed Natsume Haruko's way to look at the sea level in the distance, "Ms. Natsume also thinks I'm ugly... a guy from Kansai like me..."

This time it was Natsume Haruko's turn to show a surprised expression. She didn't know what Nanase Nami had experienced since she came here, but in her eyes, she didn't feel that Nanase Nami was very earthy at all, whether it was her Dressing up is still the way to behave in the world. Natsume Haruko not only doesn't dislike it at all, but is also a little envious.

If only I could have such a character, if I didn't hide such darkness in my heart, would I be able to find a friend or two... If I didn't do that to Li Zixi and Nanako back then, Even if she couldn't be with Li Zixi, she might be able to become friends with them.
