Chapter 181: Sakurajima Expresses His Pleasure

Giving up on the subway, the two make their way down the street, passing a small takoyaki store and stopping to buy one, which they split.

“Please.” Hayakawa picked up an octopus ball with a toothpick and held it out to Natsuki Aoi.

Natsuki Aoi was holding something in her hands, so after staring at that octopus ball for a second, she leaned her body forward and ate that octopus ball, “Yummy ……”

Hayakawa said the station is not far away, the two people walked for nearly eight hundred meters until they saw the street sign in front of them, in the station platform at this time because it is close to four o’clock in the afternoon, one after another there will be a lot of boys and girls from the cram school after school, as far as the eye can see there are at least more than twelve or thirteen girls, which for Aoi Natsuki is a dangerous number.

After the experience gained in the past half year, his degree of being disliked by all the girls would be cumulative with the density of the females around him, and when the number was at one or more than six, it was a very dangerous signal, and he didn’t want some elementary school girls to pull the alarm without hesitation because they saw him.

He stood still, and Hayakawa then stopped as well, turning his head to look at him suspiciously.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nah, I’ll just send it here.” Aoi Natsuki kept her calm and smiled.

“But ……” Hayakawa subconsciously pointed his right hand to the station, obviously there is still such a long distance ah …… But on second thought, and feel a little too rude, where there is to force other people to do something reasoning, then withdrew his hand and gently nodded, but it is not difficult to see that there is still a trace of loss in his heart.

Anyway, this kind of iffy feeling has been there many times before, and she …… is a little used to it now.

Sometimes it felt like he was going to confess to her in the next second, but her progress immediately stalled, and she occasionally wondered what kind of heart Natsuki had for her, or if he was just being nice as a friend to a girl like herself.

Hayakawa left hand clasped the right hand of the tiger’s mouth, this is her instinctive nervousness will do out of the action, it seems that today or nothing happened well ……

She turned around and was about to head to the station, but in the very next second, Natsuki’s voice came from behind her once again.

“Hayakawa.”

Sounds anxious.

She slowly turned her head, her dark green pupils looked over, only to see that at this time, Natsuki was also a bit different from his usual state, he, was he trying to say something?

Aoi Natsuki took a deep breath and considered for a long time, he finally decided to slightly touch the rule line of the game, it made Hayakawa keep hovering between anticipation and loss, it made him feel very bad inside, so he had to do something.

Even if this was against the rules, he was going to take a chance!

“Would it be okay to wait for me a while longer? I currently …… have a very important thing I’m doing, and this might be a bit selfish, but no matter what, please wait for me for a while longer okay!” Aoi Natsuki could only say this much, even as he said these words, his heartbeat almost stopped, he was so afraid that he would be like the male lead in RE0, having his heart crushed by some unseen hand because of something he said wrong, and instantly, chills ran down the back of his spine as he kept a constant eye on his surroundings, constantly fearing that time would stop around him and that the goddess Maiden would show up to inform him that the game was over.

But as time passed by, nothing unusual happened around him, and his heartbeat gradually slowed down, but his limbs still felt cold.

Pupils trembled uncontrollably from over-excitement.

As expected, he would still feel fear in the face of unknown death, but the solace was that the goddess maiden didn’t appear, but even so, he felt that he was already on the edge of the rule line, and any more words could trigger the end of the game.

Hayakawa’s eyes widened, she also seemed to hear that Natsuki had something difficult to say, looking at his face of urgency, then it seems to be really important, the first second her mind thought could it be a lack of money, let’s say in terms of the family’s finances, if that’s the case, she still has 120,000 yen left in her hand nowadays, which she has slowly and little by little saved up over the years, I don’t know if it’s enough or not ah ……

She was thinking of mentioning it, but Xia Shu’s expression made her stop her voice, just now she looked still a bit overwhelmed, now her gaze slowly became firm, if she helped him at this time, it must be very damaging to his self-esteem, right? Since he thinks he can do it, he should believe in him unconditionally.

Hayakawa made a silent internal decision.

“Well, I’ll be waiting for you, always.” Hayakawa emphasized the last word “always” and nodded heavily.

Aoi Natsuki instantly felt that everything was clearing up, and joy surged through her heart, instantly washing away all the negative emotions she had just felt.

“Thanks!” He bowed deeply at Hayakawa, a bow that also contained his apologies to Hayakawa.

Closing her eyes tightly, she opened them after a while, only to find that the pair of white canvas shoes had already walked in front of her, and Aoi Natsuki’s perspective slowly moved upwards, eventually coming to a stop at a height level with Hayakawa’s cheek.

Hayakawa’s smile was incomparably healing, her small hands lifted up and gently cupped his cheeks from side to side, her eyes gazing straight at him as she whispered, “Cheer up oh, I believe in you, you can definitely get through this.”

“……” Aoi Natsuki did not speak, because he was so worried about shedding tears in the moment of speaking, they say that men do not cry, but, Hayakawa is so worth it.

Unable to speak, he had to respond with a nod of his head, and for the first time, Hayakawa, who had always been slow to fall in love, felt a little bit like she was reading the mood of the boy in front of her, which made her immensely happy, and she, who had never dated a boy before, began to look forward immensely to the fast approaching of that day.

“That’s it, I’m, leaving first then.” Hayakawa felt that the end should remain playful, probably because she felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was just too good, and then she made a small gesture that she wouldn’t even do before, reaching out with her right index finger and gently nudging him on the bridge of his nose, her body stepping back and spreading a smile as she waved goodbye at him.

Natsuki Aoi was overwhelmed with relief as he quickly raised his hand in response after his brain went on the spot for two seconds, saying what he wanted to say.

He watched Hayakawa walk into the station before he turned to leave.

It is indeed time to think about how to accelerate Hayakawa’s promotion to the S class, now there are still 50 points left from the S class, compared to the difference of 100 points before April has narrowed down a lot, the development of this specialty point of “Flower Arrangement” is Hayakawa’s own sprouting, and before I deliberately try to guide her to learn something, but instead of letting the goodwill as well as the character value of the nurturing column drop, then it seems that to trigger Hayakawa’s other specialties, it must be be guided under a reasonable opportunity na.

He mused as he headed for another station.

“So sweet~”

A particularly familiar voice rang in his ears, and this time Aoi Natsuki heard who she was straight away and stood still.

“Sakura …… Island ……” mouthed her name while turning around.

The first thing he saw was Sakurajima Apricot with her hands peeled against the wall in front of a family restaurant on the side, a mysterious smile on her face, and after the two of them locked gazes, she raised her right hand, her index and middle fingers swinging back and forth as she greeted him.

Natsuki Arai let out a quick sigh, helpless inside, he didn’t even want to open his mouth to ask anything, like what why are you here? Are you following me? Did you see that scene just now and so on and so forth, he felt like it was a meaningless question and answer, she was just here the whole time.

“Yo.” He chose to respond flatly.

And while Sakurajima Apricot saw how cold he was, she didn’t show any displeasure, walking up with slow steps, narrowing her eyes and smiling, her thin corners of her eyes elongating all the way, “So sweet, Arai-kun.”

The voice was extremely magnetic, and Aoi Natsuki, knowing what she was talking about, skimmed her mouth and didn’t answer.

“That’s nice nah, when will I get Aoi-kun to say such things to me.” Sakurajima Apricot said with feigned frustration.

“What are you talking about, I don’t understand at all.” Saying that, Aoi Natsuki was about to go around her and continue on his way, as he realized that talking to Sakurajima, whether he was agreeing, or disagreeing, didn’t actually affect her ability to lead to the next topic, and avoiding the topic without talking about it was probably the best choice.

But when he took no more than two steps forward, Sakurajima Apricot took the initiative to stop in front of him while opening her hands to him.

“Then it’s okay to give me a princess hug, oh Aoi-kun.”

“Please, can you stop flirting with me.” Aoi Natsuki subconsciously answered, but he immediately realized something was wrong and closed his mouth, this unfolding wasn’t just like the usual, there was no guarantee of what would happen in the end.

“Just wanted to share the joy with you.” Sakurajima Apricot then stepped aside, and as Aoi walked forward, she followed along.

Aoi Natsuki noticed that she was in a good mood, seeing that her relationship with Hayakawa had progressed, instead she acted so happy, what a strange girl ……

“You’re wearing …… It’s not like you just came down from some movie interview again, is it?” Aoi Natsuki said.

Sakurajima Apricot was dressed particularly formally today, he had seen casual wear, leather jackets, and idol beatnik outfits before, but an image like this in a rather designer trench coat was something he had only seen in his last movie interview.

“Hmm! I just finished the autograph session in the morning, I’m exhausted.” Sakurajima Apricot was still smiling and didn’t look away, just kept looking at him.

Aoi Natsuki gave her a blank look, but she couldn’t hold back and spoke, “It’s that happy.”

Sakurajima’s mesmerized eyes opened a third of the way, “Of course I’m happy, shouldn’t I be happy to see your relationship with Hayakawa progressing?”

“Ha……” The words were said, but Aoi Natsuki still felt that something sounded strange.

“Oh? Is it hard to believe that you’re hoping that I’ll be jealous, Aoi? Mo~ What a boy who isn’t frank at all.” Sakurajima stretched out his right index finger, the tip of which was pointed towards him, spinning clockwise.

“I don’t think so, well, let’s end the topic here.” Aoi Natsuki pivoted her body, thinking to stop talking to her.

Sakurajima heard this, followed by a few seconds of silence, then a luster flashed in his eyes, the corners of his mouth diffused into a smile, and he directly came up, grabbed his right hand with both hands, and at his shoulder, whispered towards his ear, “Actually, the reason I’m so happy is mainly to verify your sexuality Aoi, and it seems to be perfectly fine~”

“Shit! That’s enough out of you!”

“Huh? That’s why you’re angry, I obviously wanted to verify your male feats again in the back Aoi ……”

“Ahhhhh! Shut up!” Natsuki Aoi blushed at her comment and turned her head to see that Apricot Sakurajima was watching herself with a bad smile on her face.

“You’re finally willing to pick me up, aren’t you?”

“…… Yes yes yes, I lost.” Aoi Natsuki said with his head hanging down.

“Yeah, I win.” Sakurajima Apricot raised her right hand high like a small child, her body quickly approaching Aoi in the next second, her eyes changing all of a sudden, “Say, what exactly was that important thing you just said under your breath?”

Aoi Natsuki’s heart thumped and just wanted to move away, when he immediately realized that his right arm was being held in a death grip by the other party’s left hand, while her right hand was grasping the mouth of his paper bag, she should not be trying to ……

Sakurajima’s smile became even wider.

Aoi Natsuki could do nothing about it, but she didn’t know what to say, so she only sighed in a low voice, “Can’t we just let this matter be over.”

“Okay.” Sakurajima Apricot immediately agreed, and then loosened her hands.

This sudden uptick in crisis contact made Aoi Natsuki look bewildered, then seeing Sakurajima’s unconcealed sneer, he knew he was being teased by his opponent again.

“Sakurajima!”

“I’m just kidding, I was just trying to scare you, but it seems like this is a really important thing, I wasn’t interested just now, but now I’m suddenly curious.”

“Don’t worry! I will never, ever tell you!” Aoi Natsuki frowned, his already great mood was stirred up again by Sakurajima, sometimes he thought she was cute, sometimes he hated her with a passion, it was a particularly complicated mood.

“Can we dine at your house tonight?”

“No!”

“Eh~ I kinda miss your cooking~”

“No means no.”

“Arai-kun, why don’t you even feel sorry for me, how can I give myself and Hayakawa to you in the future~”

“Bigamy is a crime ……”

“Yikes! Aoi you even think about getting married? Aoi H, but I remember Iran will do ……”

“Are you crazy?”

……

July came and the long summer vacation officially began, but this summer vacation Aoi Natsuki had made plans before to make a trip back to the countryside to visit his grandfather, something he had informed him of a week ago by sending a letter.

He stood at the mouth of the balcony, the things he needed to pack were packed last night and he was ready to leave early this morning.

“Awwwwwww!” Lina carried her suitcase and hurriedly ran in, she knew before that Natsuki had a grandfather, but after all, she had never seen him and didn’t have much of a sense of reality, but the matter of traveling far away was like an outing for a small child, and it was still with Natsuki, so she felt incomparably happy in her heart.

Aoi Natsuki pinched her fleshy cheeks, Rina was really fattened up quite a bit by him, and couldn’t help but spit in his heart again, before it was obviously so skinny one it.

A car honked suddenly outside the door, and Natsuki Aoi knew they had arrived.

“Come on.” Holding Lina’s hand, Lina since she wants to pull the suitcase, let her come, the two changed their shoes, out of the entrance door, turned around and locked the door, stepped through the garden path, the garden Jijiang is resting comfortably on its back in the doghouse, about its diet, Sakurajima said that she would specially arrange for someone to feed it, Sakurajima in a lot of places Aoi Natsuki would feel unreliable, but such as this kind of practical matters, she is able to implement it every time is very good, she She said so, Aoi naturally rest assured.

Opening the iron door, Lina poked her head out and was instantly surprised on her face.

There was a car parked in front of the door, the main driver’s window fully rolled down, and Ryuzakura was resting her elbow on the window, greeting her, along with a few others who could be seen inside, Hayakawa, Takahashi, and Ayano.

“Rina~” Ayano, who was sitting in the back, poked her hands out and opened her arms wide, not being able to wait to give her a big hug.

Lina immediately greeted them at the sight as well.

Aoi Natsuki saw that it was an unfamiliar suv, and then made a wink to Ryuusakura, who then opened the trunk, and after everything was ready, Aoi Natsuki sat in the passenger seat, and the group was officially ready to set off for the countryside, Aoi Natsuki’s hometown, Gunma Prefecture.
