designer who lives in the next room

Hearing what Natsume Haruko's mother said, Nanase Nami thought she was angry with her daughter, so she quickly explained, "No, no, that's not the case, Miss Natsume didn't know that I would come to find her today ..."

Natsume Haruko's mother listened to Nanase Nami's words, but she still dialed her daughter's phone. Natsume Haruko seemed to be busy now, and the phone rang for a long time before answering.

"Where are you?" Natsume Haruko's mother asked when the phone was connected, "There are guests at home, can you hurry home?"

"Ah? A customer?" Natsume Haruko didn't seem to realize who the "guest" her mother was talking about. Her voice was a bit noisy, as if she was in a shopping mall. There is actually no difference between whether I am here or not, and I will go to buy comics next, and it may take two or three hours before I can go back."

Natsume Haruko, who was shopping in the mall, still felt strange at this time. It turned out that her mother basically wouldn't let her attend when there were guests, but why did she make a special call to herself today.

"Ah, yes, then I'll help you receive it." Natsume Haruko's mother was not angry at what her daughter said, she turned her head and glanced at Nanase Nami who was standing at the door and dared not move much, "Anyway, Looking for you, if you're not here, I'll let her go back in a while."

"Looking for me?" Natsume Haruko knew that she hadn't reacted yet, "How could someone come to my house to look for me?"

"Then who knows..." Mom shook her head while talking, "Oh, by the way, she said her name is 'Nami Nanase'. If you don't recognize her, I will tell her to go back."

Natsume Haruko's mother said that on purpose. If she can find this place alone and tell her daughter's name, then it becomes obvious that she and her daughter know each other. The mother just wanted to learn from Natsume Haruko. Conjecture about the relationship between the two.

"Ah! It's her!" Natsume Haruko's tone was much higher. When she heard this name, she became more excited than before, but she seemed to realize that she was in a public place, so she lowered her voice. Some voices said, "Mom, can you take care of me first, I will go back after I buy the comics."

"Can't you buy the manga later?" Mom asked back, although she could not help Natsume Haruko to receive Nanase Nami first, but except for her own daughter, she basically didn't have children of this age group. So she basically didn't know what to say to Nanase Nami.

"I'll be back as soon as possible, please before I come back." Natsume Haruko's voice on the other end of the phone became more urgent than before. She seemed to be running somewhere, and the handbag could be heard from the phone. The sound of colliding.

After saying this, Natsume Haruko hung up the phone, and her mother had to sigh and return the phone to the guard.Nanase Nami didn't know what Natsume Haruko's mother said to Natsume Haruko, so before her mother spoke, Nanase Nami felt that it was better for her to keep silent.

"I'm really sorry, my daughter may not be back for a while..." Natsume Haruko's mother's words were full of apologies, and she told Nanase Nami what her daughter was doing now.

"No, it's okay..." Nanase Nami hurriedly shook her head. Although Natsume Haruko's mother's face has always been gentle, it still can't change her essence of being a mafia boss, so Nanase Nami always spoke as carefully as possible, "Then I'll bother you later, I'll wait for her somewhere else."

Speaking of Nanase Nami, she wanted to turn around and leave. The only Natsume Haruko she knew was not here, so she didn't want to stay here any longer, but when she started to move back slowly, Natsume Haruko's mother suddenly stopped her.

"If you can, Ms. Nanase, please come in and sit with me for a while." Natsume Haruko's mother stepped aside and made a "please" gesture, "This is what Natsume Haruko requested, and guests are not allowed to enter the door." If not, it's too rude."

The more famous the family or the orthodox underworld, the more they pay attention to etiquette and politeness. Nami Nanase knows this. If she shirks now, the person who has no manners will become herself.

Nanase Namiyuki walked in with Natsume Haruko's mother. There are many cherry blossom trees planted in the huge courtyard, but now the flowers have died, leaving only a large green leaf.The Japanese decoration style is obvious, and the entire courtyard looks very simple and comfortable. When Natsume Haruko's mother walked past the servants, they all greeted her politely.

No wonder Nanase Nami felt that Natsume Haruko had such a good temperament at the celebration before. It turned out that she grew up in such a family background since she was a child.However, Nanase Nami also somewhat understood the reason why Natsume Haruko had no friends. Under such a family background, no matter how dignified and decent she was, who would dare to be friends with her.

She is not just the daughter of a famous family, this Natsume Haruko's family is an orthodox underworld.

Natsume Haruko's mother brought Nanase Nami to the hall. This is the place where she usually receives guests who are also gangsters. Compared with the simplicity and ease of the courtyard, the feeling here is much more solemn.

The servant quickly brought the tea, Natsume Haruko's mother put the teacup in front of Nanase Nami herself, and asked her, "Is the tea okay? If you don't like it, you can change it to something else."

"No... I really like drinking tea." Nanase Nami shook her head. Although she is a guest, it is better not to bother the host too much, "Well, may I ask how long Miss Natsume Will you come back?"

"That's hard to say..." Natsume Haruko's mother's expression became a little confused, "Today is the day when her favorite manga is released...but I already told her to come back early , so please Miss Nanase, please wait for her here..."

For some reason, Nanase Nami felt that Natsume Haruko's mother, who was the head of the house, was a little more flustered than herself at this time. Facing Nanase Nami, she seemed a little restless.

"Okay...okay..." Nanase Nami nodded. She carefully picked up the teacup on the table, but she didn't drink it into her mouth. She and Natsume Haruko's mother kept drinking Sitting opposite each other and watching each other, both of them will smile at each other when they make eye contact.

It was very embarrassing, neither Nami Nanase nor Haruko Natsume's mother seemed to be able to find a topic to chat with, both of them were afraid of making each other unhappy by saying bad things.

Natsume Haruko's mother is very concerned about Nanase Nami. She knows how difficult it is for her daughter to find a friend who can talk to her. Now, regardless of what kind of relationship her daughter wants to have with Nanase Nami, at least first Don't let Nanase Nami have any opinion on her mother.

"Well... if you are busy, I can wait here alone..."

Keeping silent is too depressing. For Nanase Nami, an optimist from Kansai, staying silent is like going to jail, and she also noticed that Natsume Haruko's mother has been looking out the window, " You don't have to spend all your time on me, you're probably busy..."

Natsume Haruko's mother kept looking out of the window just to see if her daughter was back. Unexpectedly, such an action made Nanase Nami mistakenly think that she had something to do in a hurry.

"It's not like that..." Natsume Haruko's mother seemed to panic a little bit more. Although she was still very dignified sitting on the sofa, judging from her expression, she didn't want to be a girl at all. As a mother, she is more like Natsume Haruko's sister, "I'm fine... that... actually Natsume Haruko asked me to accompany you, but I don't know how to get along with you except me Young people other than daughter talk... so sorry..."

Nanase Nami never expected that Natsume Haruko's mother would say such things to herself, nor did she expect that she said sorry to herself again, "You don't need to feel sorry at all... Well, if you can, you Can you talk to me about Natsume Haruko..."

Nanase Nami wanted to bring up a topic so that the two of them would no longer be embarrassed. After thinking about it, it seemed that Natsume Haruko was the only one they could talk about together.

"I just met her not long ago, and she didn't tell me about her family, so I was a little scared when I came here, but at least I can feel that you and Natsume Haruko are good people..." Nanase Nami Scratching his face, he said, "I'm quite interested in Natsume Haruko, so please tell me something about her, I want to know more about her..."

Volume [-]#It turns out that ears are your weakness

Natsume Haruko's mother didn't know how to respond to Nanase Nami's "You are all good people".Natsume Haruko's mother knew very well what kind of person she used to be. After all, she was a gangster. If she wanted to get to this position, she had to fight and kill when she was young. Although her daughter was not a "bad girl", if she Those things that Nanase Nami did a few years ago, those things that were done to Li Zixi and Nanako, probably Nanase Nami would not think so.

Of course, Natsume Haruko's mother will definitely not tell Nanase Nami about these things. Most people will definitely not be able to accept these things, and the girl in front of her has just become friends with her daughter, so she can't let Nanase Nami know about it. away from his own daughter.

"Natsume Haruko...I don't know what to say about my daughter...all I can think of are compliments for her." Natsume Haruko's mother rubbed her face, she couldn't help it Tell outsiders what she said about her daughter, and she really loves Natsume Haruko too much. When she talks about her daughter with others, she only has words of praise in her mouth, "But since you want to be friends with her, I want to continue The thing to know is that my daughter is much more vulnerable than she appears, and much more lonely."

"When I called her just now, I mentioned that you came to find her. This is the first time I felt that she was looking forward to coming back to you soon." The more Natsume Haruko's mother said, the panicked expression on her face disappeared sooner. "Besides, that child sometimes likes to dig into the horns and has a strong possessive desire, so for the things she occasionally does that make you unhappy, please forgive me, Ms. Nanase."

"Things that make me unhappy...what do you mean?" Nanase Nami asked carefully, she wanted to be somewhat psychologically prepared, and she also wanted to know in what ways Natsume Haruko might make herself angry.

"Can you tell me first, do you really want to be friends with Natsume Haruko?" Natsume Haruko's mother asked Nanase Nami very seriously, even though Nanase Nami left a good impression on her, she still Want to make sure.

After all, this matter is about her own daughter, she has no choice but to pay close attention to it.

"Do you really want to be friends with Natsume Haruko?"

Nanase Nami's answer is of course yes. At first, she would notice Natsume Haruko only because she appeared alone at the celebration just like herself, and she was about the same age as herself, and she looked very beautiful. At first, Nanase Nami thought that Natsume Haruko is also a person who came here from other places.

That's why she took the initiative to talk to Natsume Haruko at that time, but when Natsume Haruko spoke, her sentence didn't feel like a foreigner at all, and the aura emanating from her made Nanase Nami confirm that she was a local And she is the daughter of a famous family, so Nanase Nami just helped her catch the goldfish and then left. At that time, she felt that a girl like Natsume Haruko had a completely different lifestyle from herself. She felt that Natsume Haruko must be a proud and Self-centered people, that's why they have no friends.

But after she left, Natsume Haruko took the initiative to find her. It was at that time that she realized that she was wrong. Natsume Haruko was not the person she imagined at all.

She feels that although Natsume Haruko is a rich lady, she always seems a little clumsy in dealing with others. She is a person without friends, and she can't hide her desire to find friends. The most important thing is that Natsume Haruko actually gave Nanase Nami has a very approachable feeling. After she learned that Nanase Nami came from a small city in Kansai, she didn't feel that Nanase Nami spoke and dressed very rustic like others, even if they didn't know it at that time. To truly become friends, Natsume Haruko is also working hard to maintain Nanase Nami.

And after hearing that she was working hard to make ends meet, Natsume Haruko also invited Nanase Nami to come to work at her home. Although it seemed a bit like alms, Nanase Nami could understand that Natsume Haruko had no such plan at all. She just wanted to help herself.

"I want to be friends with Ms. Natsume Haruko." Nanase Nami said with a smile. Someone who didn't make fun of me for my accent."

"Accent?" Natsume Haruko's mother was a little confused, she had never heard an accent from Nanase Nami's mouth at all.

"Well, I have a Kansai accent when I'm excited, because I'm from a small city on the Kansai side." Nanase Nami scratched her head and smiled at Natsume Haruko's mother, "But I've worked hard recently Don't say it."

It turns out that this child is from Kansai. No wonder her smile is so bright and her personality is so sunny. Natsume Haruko's mother also didn't feel any malice when Nanase Nami stretched out her hand. She also responded very well to Nanase Nami Agreed, and she said, "Then please take care of my daughter in the future, I don't want her to be alone all the time."

Nanase Nami nodded vigorously. She still wanted to get some news about her daughter from Haruko Natsume's mother. Just when she was about to speak, there was a sudden sound of "dangdangdang" running in the corridor .

The door of the hall was suddenly opened, and Natsume Haruko walked in panting.

"How many times have I told you that you are not allowed to run in the corridor?" Even without looking at it, the only person in this family who ran in the corridor was Natsume Haruko. When she just walked into the room, her mother Just left from the sofa, "Do you want me to punish you for cleaning the hallway again?"

"Eh? I'm just in a hurry." Natsume Haruko shook her head desperately. Nanase Nami looked towards the door. Natsume Haruko looked completely different from usual. When she was with her mother, she always It's acting like a baby, without the usual sense of dignity.

Her mother is still criticizing her behavior constantly, but Natsume Haruko's sight and attention have long been shifted to Nanase Nami, Nanase Nami also noticed that Natsume Haruko found herself, so she greeted her .

Natsume Haruko also waved her hand. She thought that such a small gesture would not be seen by her mother, but she did not expect her mother to pinch her face with her hands.

"Don't sneak away when you're talking to me..." Natsume Haruko's mother sighed as she spoke, "Forget it, let me save you some face in front of your friends, you take her Go to your room and play, I'll call you again when it's dinner time."

After saying "goodbye" to Natsume Haruko's mother, Nanase Nami followed Natsume Haruko and walked towards her room.Even though Natsume Haruko is a young lady, she is still a girl. The room looks Japanese-style from the outside, but there are dolls and figures everywhere inside.

There are also a lot of comics and game discs, the whole room looks a bit messy but it doesn't make people feel uncomfortable.

"Sorry, I didn't know you would come, so..." Natsume Haruko threw the bag aside and apologized backwards to Nanase Nami, "Why didn't you tell me before you came, you Don't you have my phone?"

"...calling... I always feel a little shy..." Nanase Nami is actually not good at making calls, and she is more accepting of face-to-face chat or text expression, "I I originally planned to come directly to you, but I never thought that your family is actually a gangster..."

Now Nanase Nami can also understand why the hourly salary Natsume Haruko arranged for her is so high.

"That...do you hate this?" Haruko Natsume drew the curtains, because her room faced the sun, and it would be too dazzling if she didn't draw the curtains, "My family is a gangster... so things..."

Nanase Nami thought for a while, the underworld is indeed a little scary for ordinary people like her, the underworld that I learned about in movies and comics are the kind of guys who are frightening and ruthless, but when she really and After getting in touch with the underworld, she found that the underworld was not what she imagined.

At least the boss of the underworld and her daughter are not the kind of bad-tempered people, they will care about other people's feelings and behave very gentle.

So Nanase Nami shook her head, "I won't hate you, at least I won't hate you, Natsume, because you are really gentle to me."

Natsume Haruko blushed suddenly when she heard Nanase Nami's words. Fortunately, she had her back to Nanase Nami, so she wouldn't let her see her expression.

"Wow, you actually put this goldfish in the bedroom..." Nanase Nami's attention was attracted by the goldfish on the table, and she recognized at a glance that it was the day she fished with Natsume Haruko the one from.

She remembered that she saw a big pond in the yard of Natsume's house when she came here, and she was a little puzzled, why didn't Natsume Haruko raise this goldfish with the others?

"Yeah, there just happened to be a fish tank in the bedroom..." Natsume Haruko didn't tell Nanase Nami the real reason why the goldfish was in her room, but what she didn't expect was that Nanase Nami Suddenly he pressed his body against his back, and then he brought his mouth to his ear just like that day.

"Is that so?" Nanase Nami's voice sounded a little charming at this time, "Isn't it because I picked up this goldfish for you? It's because of me, right... right ?”

Nanase Nami could clearly feel Natsume Haruko's body shaking, and then she quickly left Natsume Haruko's side, sat on the bed again, covered her mouth with a smile and said to Natsume Haruko, "That's right, ears It's your weakness, no wonder you blushed when I spoke into your ear last time when I was fishing for goldfish, Haruko, you are so cute!"

The first volume#I didn't expect you to like horror comics

"Please...don't do such a thing..." Haruko Natsume has done to many people in the past what Nami Nanase did to herself just now. This is a very provocative gesture. She thought that this action would not bring much emotion to the other party, but when it happened to her, she realized what it was like to blow into someone's ear.

While covering her ears, Natsume Haruko wanted to hide away, but when she turned around covering her ears, Nanase Nami ran away with a smirk.

As if she had done nothing to Natsume Haruko just now, her attention was completely focused on the fish tank that Natsume Haruko placed on the table. The fish in it didn't know what the two of them had just experienced , so still swimming slowly.

"The sky was a little dark that day, and I haven't realized how beautiful this goldfish is." Nanase Nami pointed at the goldfish swimming in the fish tank, and when her finger touched the wall of the fish tank, the goldfish was Noticing something, she shook off the red fins and started to swim faster, "I was just kidding you, but by the way, Ms. Natsume, why didn't you put it with other fish?"

Because it is a fish that my friend and I scooped up together.

This is the real reason why Natsume Haruko put the fish in the house, but how could she tell Nanase Haruko the reason, it seems that she is too pitiful.

"That, that's because..." Natsume Haruko sorted out her mood, tied up her loose hair, pulled the bench and sat down, facing Nanase Nami who was sitting on the bed , "Because it is so small, the fish in my pond are much bigger than it."

The fish in Natsume Haruko's pond have been raised for many years. Although they haven't been taken special care of them, they have grown into big fish. If you put such a little guy with them, it will definitely will not get a suitable living space.

"Oh...that's it..." After hearing Natsume Haruko's answer, Nanase Nami was slightly stunned, and it was obvious that this was not the answer she wanted.She glanced at Natsume Haruko, who was lying on a chair and staring at the carpet in her room, Nanase Nami saw a trace of nervousness and embarrassment on her face.

This is the first time that a girl of her age has come to her room as a "friend". The scene she once dreamed of is now happening in front of her, but until now, Natsume Haruko doesn't know what to do. Do something about it.

Different from Natsume Haruko's coy look, Nanase Nami seemed much more at ease as a guest. She often walked around Natsume Haruko's room for a while, looking at the books and other things that Natsume Haruko had placed in the open. Ornament, but she rarely picks it up, because it is very rude to touch it without the owner's permission.

There are a lot of books in Natsume Haruko's room. On the right hand side of the door, almost the entire wall has been turned into a bookshelf, which is full of books.Most of the books on it are manga, which were neatly arranged by Natsume Haruko in the order of release. In addition to manga books, Nanase Nami also found some literature books in it, most of which are world famous works and so on. .

"Well, Natsume, you also read other types of books besides manga." Nanase Nami's tone was a little surprised, but she didn't think so in her heart. A family background like Natsume Haruko, although a gangster family, but from her Judging from her temperament, Natsume Haruko must have been influenced by books since she was a child, so Nanase Nami said that she just wanted to have a topic together so that the two could communicate.

If I waited for Natsume Haruko to speak first to find a topic, I don't know how long I would have to wait.

"Well, of course..." Nanase Nami said suddenly, and Natsume Haruko was slightly frightened. She left the chair abruptly, wanting to go to Nanase Nami, but instead Accidentally kicked the leg of the chair, the foot hurt and the body leaned forward, kneeling directly in front of Nanase Nami.

It was so embarrassing that Natsume Haruko knelt straight in front of Nanase Nami. Neither of them could have imagined this situation. Faced with such an embarrassing situation, Natsume Haruko seemed to be unable to feel the pain from her little finger.

Having said that, Nanase Nami's reaction was quicker. It seemed that she would often face such embarrassing scenes. She quickly helped Natsume Haruko and walked her to the bed, asking if she was okay. Teased her, "Really, even though I'm a guest, you don't have to treat me like this..."

"I didn't..." Natsume Haruko shook her head, recovering from the embarrassing scene, she finally felt the pain on her little finger, and Natsume Haruko frowned involuntarily.

Knocking on the little finger while walking is something that everyone has encountered. As long as the little finger is not directly broken, it is a very small harm to the body, but it is not worth mentioning. The pain looks truly unparalleled.

"Really, it hurts just looking at it..." Nanase Nami helped Natsume Haruko sit on the bed, looked at her calf and right foot that were stretched because of the pain, and still didn't forget to joke with her, "I didn't expect that This kind of situation will also happen to the dignified and generous young lady..."

Natsume Haruko didn't have time to joke with Nanase Nami at all, the constant pain made her stare fiercely at the chair that tripped her, Nanase Nami also noticed her expression, and felt a little horrified in her heart, if it wasn't a chair But personally, Nanase Nami felt that Natsume Haruko would immediately go over and tear her down.

"It's okay..." Nanase Nami swallowed, Natsume Haruko's legs were still stretched until now, which made her a little worried. Logically speaking, the pain should be It has disappeared.

She carefully grabbed Natsume Haruko's feet when she was not paying attention. If Natsume Haruko hadn't reacted in time, she would have almost kicked Nanase Nami aside.

"Yes, what are you doing..." This was the first time someone grabbed her feet and stared at her, Natsume Haruko's face immediately turned red, she didn't have much confidence in her feet, Moreover, she had just returned home from outside, and she hadn't even had time to change her socks.

Even with clean new socks that were just put on today, Natsume Haruko would still feel shy when Nanase Nami looked at her like this.

"Of course, make sure there is nothing wrong with your foot. Sometimes the fracture can happen in an instant..." Nanase Nami said while pulling Natsume Haruko's foot in front of her, "Don't move around. , you don't want to get hurt again, do you?"

Let the girl look at her feet, although there is nothing wrong with it, and Nanase Nami is just to help Natsume Haruko check it, but this is really shameful for Natsume Haruko who likes women.

"I really have nothing to do..." Natsume Haruko couldn't stand it anymore. She pulled her foot back and moved her little finger. The red and swollen little finger could still be bent, so it was not because she couldn't Be careful not to hit the chair and get hurt. "Look, I said I'm fine..."

Although it still hurts when she moved her little finger, Natsume Haruko was so ashamed that she almost hid her head in the quilt. Having faced many, many women, Nanase Nami was the first person who made Natsume Haruko so shy.

Natsume Haruko's appearance is obviously shy, but since she has proved to herself that her feet are fine, Nanase Nami has no reason to persevere.

At noon in the summer, after going shopping at the mall and queuing up to buy comics, Natsume Haruko hurried home, and now she is still receiving herself as the host. Even if Nanase Nami has some moods to tease Natsume Haruko, she has no choice but to restrain herself stand up.

"Speaking of which, miss, what kind of comic books did you buy? I'm actually quite curious, wondering what a miss like you usually likes to read..." Nanase Nami wanted to stop Natsume Haruko from being shy. Then she changed the subject. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted the paper bag at the door. It was bulging inside, and Haruko Natsume seemed to be struggling to hold it. It probably contained a lot of manga, "It's okay if you don't mind. Show me?"

Nanase Nami knew that there was a high probability that she would stay at Natsume Haruko's house, and she was willing to be friends with Natsume Haruko, so she made such a request, although her usual hobbies can be seen from Natsume Haruko's bookshelf , but what she said just now is really suitable as a question of "changing the topic".

"When...of course..." Natsume Haruko took a deep breath, adjusted her expression to her usual feeling, the pain in her little finger gradually disappeared, and now she could walk without any problem.

Natsume Haruko jumped off the bed, took the paper bag at the door, took a book from it and handed it to Nanase Nami.

Nanase Nami thought that Natsume Haruko would read some manga about youth love, after all, most girls like it, but after she got the book in her hands, she realized that she was wrong. All the books Natsume Haruko bought were all It's the horror type.

"You actually like to read horror comics..." Nanase Nami murmured in disbelief as she looked at the ghost on the cover. She raised her head and glanced at Natsume Haruko. She really didn't expect that she would always be extremely nervous when facing herself. The eldest lady likes to read such books.

"Yes... is there any problem?" Facing Nanase Nami's question, Natsume Haruko blushed and snatched the book from her hand and hugged her tightly.Natsume Haruko never believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, but she liked this type of manga or movie very much.

In her words, "Things that are full of blood can be much more interesting than youth and love."
