designer who lives in the next room

"I never felt that way at all..." Natsume Haruko turned her head to look at Nanase Nami who was a little sad, and wanted to hold her hand, but her outstretched hand stopped suddenly, Nanase Nami She's pretty and cute, but she shouldn't be the same person as me, "Speaking of which, Ms. Nanase, are you here just to work?"

"Well, this is only one aspect. To be honest, the hourly wages of working in my hometown are too low..." The topic changed a little bit, and Nanase Nami's disappointment dissipated a little, "But I'm here There are other purposes, I came here to find my sister."

elder sister?Natsume Haruko was a little surprised by this answer. She thought that the sister Nanase Nami mentioned was her own sister or cousin, maybe it was a series of things that came here alone because of family conflicts or other things.Natsume Haruko never thought that Nanase Nami and Kimura Asuka knew each other, nor did she think that the "sister" Nanase Nami was looking for was Kimura Asuka.

Natsume Haruko would never have thought that Nanase Nami's interpersonal relationship here is related to herself.

"Then do you know where your sister is?" Tokyo is a big city. If you don't have contact information, finding someone here is like finding a needle in a haystack. Natsume Haruko is a little worried, although Nanase Nami is also mature , but such a girl lives alone in this city, no matter how you think about it, you will feel a little uneasy.

"I didn't have any idea before I came here, or I didn't know how to find it after staying here for a while." Nanase Nami shook her head first, "But just a few days ago, I saw her on the road, although She didn't recognize me..."

Nanase Nami told a lie. She didn't know how Natsume Haruko would view the love between girls and girls, so it's not like to reveal to her the fact that she is a "lesbian".

"That's really a pity, didn't you run over to find her?" Natsume Haruko continued to ask, she felt that since she met on the road, she just ran over, she would definitely do it with Nanase Nami's character Come out something like that.

However, Nanase Nami still shook her head, and after waving her hand, she continued to say to Natsume Haruko, "How could I just walk over to find her? My sister came to this city from my hometown to escape from me, even if I directly If I go to her, she won't recognize me, but I've confirmed that she is very happy in this city. As long as she is still here, I will always have a chance to find her, and maybe I can reconcile with her .”

Nanase Nami's tone sounded quite relaxed, but Natsume Haruko knew that she must be very sad when she said this.

As for what happened between Nanase Nami and her sister, Natsume Haruko has no clue and no way to ask. In short, it must be something bad. Her sister is avoiding Nanase Nami, and Natsume Haruko is also very curious What did Nanase Nami do back then.

However, Natsume Haruko felt that what happened between the sisters was probably just a misunderstanding. The character Nanase Nami showed was not the kind that would make people bored. Judging from the time they spent together, Natsume Haruko felt that Nanase Nami is very smart and never talks about things that others don't like to hear.

"Speaking of which, what do you do here now?" Natsume Haruko changed the topic again. Today is a happy day, so it's better not to continue talking about these unpleasant topics.

"Me, I'm washing dishes for others in a restaurant now." Nanase Nami said while showing Natsume Haruko her hands, which had some scratches on them, "But I washed some dishes for others two days ago, Looks like this month's salary is going to be deducted again."

"Then where do you live?" Natsume Haruko then asked, she thought about the highest hourly salary for a part-time job in Tokyo, and based on that, Nami Nanase couldn't afford to rent a house here.

"I live in the staff dormitory. Although the conditions are not very good and there is no separate bathroom, it is cheaper anyway. Otherwise, if I live in the staff dormitory, I may have to sleep on a bench in the park." Nami Nanase The tone is always very relaxed when she speaks, she seems to have such a character, she doesn't want people around her to worry too much about her, but it's really not right for a girl in her 20s to live such a life.

"Well, I mean, if, if there is a job that is three times your current hourly salary, and the work is not tiring and provides accommodation, would you be willing to do it?" Natsume Haruko asked Nanase Nami, or heard the back face There was a strong will on his face, but he immediately became vigilant again.

"Such a good thing? I won't sell my body..." Nanase Nami said to Natsume Haruko in a joking tone, "Don't look at me carelessly, but I'm not a casual girl..."

Volume [-]#Staying with her feels at ease

Natsume Haruko had to admit that Nanase Nami's thinking was really jumping. She was clearly talking to her about this matter very seriously, and wanted to provide her with a job that was completely different from the current one, but Nanase Nami thought she was doing it. Joking with her, answered her in a joking tone.

"What I said is not false, I am very serious." Seeing that Nanase Nami did not believe what she said, Natsume Haruko said slightly seriously, "I can help you find such a job, and it is a very normal job , a job that requires your labor and thought, so it's not what you just thought at all."

Nanase Nami was just joking with Natsume Haruko just now. Although she only knew Natsume Haruko's name and a little bit of her life so far, she still believed in Natsume Haruko. The person she met at the celebration was not will hurt yourself.

Speaking of it, the hourly salary is three times that of the current one, and accommodation can also be provided. Natsume Haruko also said that it is a very serious job. In fact, Nanase Nami is already a little tempted. She feels that no matter what kind of thing she wants to do, Natsume Haruko said The work I do is much better than what I am doing now.

"Speaking of which, Miss Natsume, why did you help me?" Nanase Nami asked another question at this time. She could feel that Natsume Haruko was helping her with good intentions, but she couldn't understand what Natsume Haruko did. What is the meaning, "We just met not long ago."

Hearing Nanase Nami's words, Natsume Haruko was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, she felt that what Nanase Nami said made sense.No matter who faces people who have just met not long ago, they will have some defensiveness. It is already very good that I and Nami Nanase went to the beach to set off fireworks.

Natsume Haruko really wanted to help her after listening to Nanase Nami’s description of her work. It’s not that 23 or 4-year-old girls can’t wash dishes in restaurants, but Natsume Haruko just wants to help her as much as possible .

Just a few days ago, my mother said that I had to find another housekeeper. The bald head spent less and less time with his wife since she got married, and her mother also said that she wanted to find a younger one. The new housekeeper has been with Natsume Haruko ever since. just fine.

At first sight, Nanase Nami is not someone who can become a housekeeper, at least not yet, but her working experience must have taught her a lot of skills, and Nanase Nami must be a malleable talent.Moreover, Natsume Haruko wanted Nanase Nami to work at her home, which was actually mixed with some selfishness. Ever since she finished fishing for goldfish, Natsume Haruko had always had this kind of impulse in her heart. She wanted to spend more time with Nanase Nami.

Whenever Natsume Haruko sees Nanase Nami's smile, she can feel a warm current flowing through her body, and Nanase Nami's character looks very good at the moment, Natsume Haruko has some urge to try to be friends with her .

"Miss Natsume?" Natsume Haruko didn't answer herself for a long time after she asked the question, Nanase Nami reached out and poked Natsume Haruko's shoulder, "What's wrong with you?"

It wasn't until Nanase Nami's fingers touched Natsume Haruko's shoulder that Natsume Haruko woke up from her thoughts.

"Ah, yes... I just knew you for a few hours." Natsume Haruko didn't know what to say to get Nanase Nami to dispel her doubts, so she confessed to Nanase Nami what she was thinking just now up.

But she didn't do it because she wanted to find a servant for the family. She didn't want Nanase Nami to feel that she was inferior in Natsume Haruko's eyes, and what Natsume Haruko wanted was not a servant.

"It means you want me to work at Miss Natsume's house..." Nanase Nami felt relieved after hearing that she went to Natsume's house, but she was still a little strange, she was just a part-time worker from Kansai People, there is nothing worthy of others' attention, so what can I do if I go to Natsume's house?

She just understands Natsume Haruko's character, and she can also tell from Natsume Haruko's conversation and the lack of hesitation when paying the money that Natsume Haruko is most likely the eldest lady of a rich or powerful family. In my mind, the family traditions of those rich and noble families are very strict. I don't know if she can adapt to the life inside with such a carefree personality.

"Let me think about it, okay?" Nanase Nami scratched her head. On the one hand, she was working in a more comfortable job that could earn more money than now, and on the other hand, she was worried about whether she could satisfy the famous and famous family. Nanase Nami really couldn't make a decision for a while, "Miss Natsume shouldn't need me to make a decision right away..."

It's normal for Nanase Nami to be worried, and Natsume Haruko can understand, so she just took out her business card from her handbag, with her address and phone number printed on it, "If you think about it, come here Find me at the address."

Nanase Nami took the business card that Natsume Haruko handed her, browsed through all the information on it, and carefully put the business card into the gap between the phone and the phone case.

"Miss Natsume is so innocent, just casually tell a stranger her home address." Nanase Nami seemed to be criticizing Natsume Haruko, but she used a joking tone, so Natsume Haruko sounded like Nanase Nami The tone is not heavy.

"We are not strangers now, are we? At least I know you have no evil intentions." Natsume Haruko shook her head, which is not the real reason for her not to worry, "Besides, even if you know where my home is, you It's also impossible to sneak in casually... After all, there are still guards."

Doorman?Moreover, according to the adjective Natsume Haruko said, her house seems to be quite big, Nanase Nami was surprised, she knew some rich lady from a wealthy family......

Time passed slowly, and there were not a lot of people at the originally very lively celebration gathering. Even if they wanted to chat together for a while, Nanase Nami had to say goodbye to Natsume Haruko now.

Tomorrow morning she has to go to work in the hotel, even if she plans to work at Natsume Haruko's house, she has to get all this month's salary first.

"Then let's stop here today, Miss Natsume, be careful when you go home." Nami Nanase stood up and patted the sand on her buttocks, then waved her hand at Haruko Natsume, "I can meet you today Really happy."

"Me too..." Natsume Haruko was a little bit reluctant in her heart, she still wanted to chat with Nanase Nami for a while, but the other party also had her own difficulties, and this was not the time for her self-willedness.

Nanase Nami also has her own contact information. If the other party really wants to be friends with her, then she will naturally call, and to be honest, it's really late now. If she doesn't go home, Natsume Haruko probably Everyone will be scolded.

Natsume Haruko took a taxi as soon as she walked to the street, and Nanase Nami who was standing on the side of the road happened to see her.Nanase Nami didn't have a smile on her face at this time. I don't know why, but she looks a little tired now.

"Natsume Haruko..." Nanase Nami took out the business card Natsume Haruko gave her, and then glanced at the direction Natsume Haruko left, "So there are guys in this world who want to get closer to me... Could it be... Could it be that you are not a normal person... Natsume Haruko?"

Even if she took a taxi, Natsume Haruko returned home a bit later. Her mother thought her daughter had gone to play somewhere else so she came back so late, but when she saw Natsume Haruko holding hands With the goldfish in her hand and the relaxed smile on her face that was different from usual, her mother knew that something good happened to her daughter at the celebration.

"Are you fishing for goldfish again?" Natsume Haruko's mother asked her as soon as she entered the door, and rubbed her daughter's head with her hand.

But Natsume Haruko doesn't like letting others touch the top of her head, including her mother, so her mother just rubbed it twice, and Natsume Haruko stepped aside.

"This is the only fun thing at the ceremony." Natsume Haruko was very calm when she spoke, she wanted to behave as usual, but no matter how much she suppressed the expression on her face, the emotion revealed from her eyes Will not be let off by her mother.

"That's right..." It seems that Natsume Haruko didn't want to tell herself what happened at the ceremony. As a mother, she didn't want to continue asking. The goldfish in his hand, "Looks pretty good, put it together with the koi at home and raise it."

Mom's proposal looks very good, after all, I built a pool for raising koi and goldfish in my yard.If Natsume Haruko had caught this goldfish alone, she would have poured it into the pond at home right now, and let it be with the koi at home, but this fish was caught by Nanase Nami with her Yes, Natsume Haruko wants to keep it in her room.

"I'm going to put it in my room." Natsume Haruko shook her head at her mother, "Mom, don't you have any objections?"

"Of course, how can I have any objection to such a trivial matter?" Mom said with a smile. It can be seen that this goldfish has a special meaning to her daughter. Seeing that her daughter is in a good mood today, she, as a mother, Also relieved.

Natsume Haruko has always had a fish tank in her room, which is small but enough to keep such a goldfish.

The goldfish quickly adapted to the new environment after entering the aquarium, swimming back and forth in the aquarium, stopping to stare at Haruko Natsume from time to time.

This fish Natsume treasures because it's what she got with a wannabe friend.Natsume Haruko, who was lying on the bed, hoped that Nanase Nami would come to her. No matter whether she could become friends or not, she would not consider whether she could get closer to Nanase Nami. She just wanted to stay with Nanase Nami now. It will be very reassuring.

Volume [-]#I am Miss Natsume's friend

Kimura Asuka has been having a bad time in the past few days. Working at the Yui Hotel, she would always look at the gate from time to time, with a worried expression on her face.

Ever since she was recognized by Nanase Nami on the street, she has been afraid that Nanase Nami will come here, and she doesn't want her life that has finally stabilized to be destroyed.Yui has always seemed quite indifferent, and still lives with a very lazy and comfortable attitude.

"... Yui..." Asuka Kimura suddenly turned her head and said to Yui who was lying on the sofa behind the bar, "Can you rest for two days?"

Yui was a little confused by Asuka Kimura's question. She felt that everything was normal and she was not overworked. Why did Asuka Kimura ask her to rest? Besides, from the expressions of the two of them, it seemed that the one who needed to rest was Asuka Kimura is right.

"Why, I'm not tired?" Yui asked her back with a lollipop in her mouth, "It's you who should rest, because you met that Nanase Nami before, and you have been talking about it for several days .”

Although Yui is very relaxed talking about it now, but two days after she first met Nanase Nami and heard Kimura Asuka tell those stories, she was indeed on guard when she went out.

That Natsume Haruko stabbed people with a knife when she was sick. This Nanase Nami gave people the impression that she was even worse than Natsume Haruko, but she didn't hear from Nanase Nami for several days in a row. Yui also slowly relaxed.

"...But..." Asuka Kimura didn't know what to say, her sleep quality in the past two days was very poor, when she closed her eyes, she was Nanase Nami's face, and the dream she had was also Something she didn't want to think about.

"..." Yui looked at Kimura Asuka's appearance, and felt a little distressed in her heart. Her girlfriend was scared like this, but she still had no solution to this matter.She is completely unfamiliar with Nanase Nami, and there is no way to find her and figure out everything with her, "Then I will rest for two days, and I will take you out to play?"

Hearing Yui's words, Kimura Asuka's face clearly showed a happy expression, she seemed to have been waiting for Yui to say such a thing.But she didn't know where to go, she felt that no matter where Nanase Nami went, she could still find her.

"Where are we going?" Asuka Kimura sat beside Yui, "Is there any good place for Yui?"

Speaking of it, Yui didn't know where to go, and there was nothing interesting about it.

Just when she was wondering where to go, Iori Kyoko's face suddenly flashed in her mind, and Yui remembered that she owed herself a favor before, so she immediately knew what to do.

"Wait a minute, I'll call Miss Golden Retriever." Yui shook her phone, then walked aside alone to call Iori Kyoko.

The phone was quickly picked up by Iori Kyoko. From her voice, it sounded like she hadn't woken up yet. It's already afternoon, and even Yui had already woken up. The ghost knew that Iori Kyoko did it last night. something happened.

"... Yui? What's the matter?" Iori Kyoko asked with her eyes closed. If Yui just called to say hello to herself, she would immediately hang up the phone and go back to sleep.

"What's the matter with you in the past two days?" Yui asked her, Yui seldom asks others for help, so these words made her feel a little strange, "If it's okay, Asuka and I want to be together Go to your seaside villa to stay for a few days."

Hearing Yui's words, Iori Kyoko immediately woke up.Yui was just asking herself, but Iori Kyoko knew that it must be very difficult for Yui to seek help from others.

"When?" Iori Kyoko continued to ask.

"Probably these two days, the sooner the better." Iori Kyoko couldn't hear too much urgency or panic from Yui's tone, so she couldn't tell whether the matter was serious or not, "Of course if you also You can come if you want, and your kid can also bring it with you."

"Ah...really, that's really great!" Hearing that Yui invited her, Iori Kyoko suddenly became happy, but after thinking about it, it's not right, she should be the protagonist Well, that's her villa, so it's like she's the guest.

"Thank you so much." Yui thanked Iori Kyoko, but Iori Kyoko interrupted her immediately.

"Yuyi, you don't need to thank me, I have to ask you for help." Iori Kyoko was thinking about what she wanted Yui to do for her, which was more important than what Yui asked her to do. Much trickier.

The matter has been arranged, Yui told Kimura Asuka the news, and Iori Kyoko also called to find someone to clean up her villa first.

Yui didn't tell her what happened. Although Iori Kyoko believed in Yui's ability to solve difficulties, she was still a little worried.Su Changxi is not here today, and she has nothing to do next, so Iori Kyoko plans to go to Yui's place to have a look in person.

Even if it's just a little thing, Iori Kyoko wants to help Yui.

On the other side, Nanase Nami’s search for Asuka Kimura has slowed down, because the cost here is too high. If she wants to stay here, she can only work part-time. , Where did she find the time to find Kimura Asuka?

So after Nanase Nami thought for a long time, she finally found her according to the address Natsume Haruko gave her.When she just walked into this area, she was taken aback. The architectural style here is obviously higher than other places, and it looks like a rich area at first glance.

Walking slowly inside, I kept looking for the house number of Natsume Haruko's house, but no one was passing by now.Nanase Nami saw that among these villas, there was a villa that was obviously a few meters higher than the others, and there was a plaque hanging at the door of that villa.

Nanase Nami squinted her eyes, blocked the sunlight with her hands and looked at the plaque, on which were written these two big characters in Chinese characters, "Natsume".

"So it's over there..." Nanase Nami said to herself, and then walked over there quickly, but the more she walked, the more she felt that something was wrong. The villa, why does it feel like the people living in it don't look like good people?

There were two men in suits with vicious faces standing at the door of the villa, and Nanase Nami was a little afraid to pass by.

"What are you looking at there?" Suddenly a guard noticed Nanase Nami, and asked loudly, trying to take something out of his clothes while asking.

Nanase Nami was frightened to death. This place looks like the home of the underworld. Could it be that the guard is going to draw a gun?

"Don't, don't, don't shoot..." Nanase Nami immediately raised her hands above her head, and then explained, "I'm here to find a girl named 'Natsume Haruko', I'm her friend......"

Nanase Nami's action stunned the guard for a moment. He just wanted to reach into his inner pocket to get his cell phone. Natsume Haruko had told them before that there might be someone who was similar to her age coming here to find her. , and reminded them to entertain her well.

"That..." The doorman took out his mobile phone and shook it, Nanase Nami let out a breath, "Miss Haruko has already told us, I just plan to call the miss."

"That's it..." Nanase Nami walked towards the gate of Natsume's villa with confidence, and walked to the doorman, "Is Miss Natsume not here?"

The doorman nodded, "Miss just went out not long ago. Today is the day when the comics are released. Miss should come back later."

"That's it..." Nanase Nami murmured again. It turned out that what Haruko Natsume hid from herself at that time turned out to be like this. She was from a famous family, ah, no, she was from a gangster family. She's actually an otaku who likes comics.

If Natsume Haruko is not here, Nanase Nami doesn't know what to do. She knows how important the manga release date is to an otaku, so it is very inappropriate to call her back now matter.

And based on what she knew about the background of Natsume Haruko's family, if she made Natsume Haruko unhappy now, she would definitely be overwhelmed.

"What are you doing, the gate is noisy?" Just as Nanase Nami was thinking about whether to go to another place and wait for Natsume Haruko to come back, a mature woman's voice suddenly came from inside the gate.

Before the voice completely disappeared, a well-dressed woman came out.She has some curious expressions on her face, and she also looks very majestic. If she feels right, this woman is the head of the family here, that is, Natsume Haruko's mother.

This woman is simply beautiful. Nanase Nami has never seen such a temperamental and beautiful woman. If she is the daughter of this woman, she may also fall in love with her mother like Natsume Haruko.

Before the doorman answered, Natsume Haruko's mother noticed Nanase Nami standing aside, she tilted her head and walked towards Nanase Nami.

"Who are you?" Natsume Haruko's mother asked her, her tone was very calm, like an ordinary person, but Nanase Nami was still very nervous at this moment, and she was a little stuttering when she spoke, for fear that this woman would suddenly get angry stand up.

"I... that... I am... I am a friend of Ms. Natsume Haruko..." Nanase Nami organized her words, although she stumbled, But at least she still showed her side, "I, um, I met Natsume Haruko at the celebration party...she said she wanted me to come here to play with her...here. …”

Hearing this, Natsume Haruko's mother had an obviously surprised expression on her face. She looked Nanase Nami up and down, thinking that it was indeed the case, this child's appearance was exactly her daughter's.

Volume [-]#I want to know more about her

However, Natsume Haruko's mother was a little hard to believe what Nanase Nami said "she and Natsume Haruko are friends". She had a hard time getting her daughter out of the house and letting her go to the celebration. She who didn't want to go out of the house was able to make a friend at the celebration and come back?

Natsume Haruko used to work so hard but couldn't find someone who could become friends with her, so when Nanase Nami said that, Natsume Haruko's mother was really surprised.

But judging from Nanase Nami's expression and tone, she doesn't seem to be lying, and her daughter is obviously more excited after returning from the celebration, so Natsume Haruko's mother believes for the time being what Nanase Nami said is true talk.

"Give me your phone." Natsume Haruko's mother stretched out her hand to one of the guards and said to him, "Let me call Natsume Haruko, all my friends have arrived at the door, but I don't know where to go went."
