Chapter 192: We all love Aoi Natsuki!

……

At dinnertime, Aoi Natsuki speeds up picking at the rice, his mouth still chewing the rice, his body already holding onto the ground to get up, carrying the empty bowl towards the kitchen, and muttering under his breath, “I’m going to go to the neighbor’s house, grandpa’s been playing cards there since this afternoon, so I guess he’s got the alcohol on again.”

It didn’t take long for him to walk back in, heading straight for the yard.

“Do you need help?” Dragon Sakura asked.

“No, I’m fine on my own.” Natsuki Arai changed into her outdoor shoes, then stepped down the steps and out the front door.

Leaving only a group of girls still eating their dinner, Takahashi Mito had her chopsticks in her mouth, her eyes gazing dully in the direction Aoi had left, and a hint of blush rose to her cheeks as she remembered the last thing she had done that night.

“Sis!” Ayano’s voice suddenly turned higher beside her, and Takahashi Mito snapped back to her senses, her eyes a little wary as she buried her head and continued to eat her meal.

And Ayano look to the direction of Natsuki left, eyes can not help but with some dissatisfaction, after all, is his own sister, suffer so much aggression, even if it is Natsuki, she still have some small angry at him, puffed out her cheeks, always love to eat and love to make a fuss, at this time instead, she even half of the meal has not yet finished.

Hayakawa’s small eyes looked east and west, she wouldn’t dare to comment in this situation, she could only carefully keep observing the situation.

The Sakurajima who was sitting on the first left position had moved at this time, slowly stood up, originally the rest of the people thought that she did not have the appetite to eat, but who knew that after she got up, she just changed her position and sat directly on the main seat that usually only grandpa or occasionally Aoi would sit on, with a bashful face, and then she put down her bowl and chopsticks, and her gaze lifted up, scanning the circle of the group of surprised girls in front of her.

“Since it’s come to this, we might as well all get it out in the open, no need to hide it, how do we all feel about Aoi, why don’t we all say something, so I’ll go first, I do like Aoi, without him I don’t even know how to spend the rest of the day and do something, that’s how it feels.”

Sakurajima’s blunt confession of her feelings, especially the loving expression that followed, instantly made the thin-skinned Hayakawa and Takahashi blush instantly, never expecting her to say such shy words in front of everyone.

Sakurajima apricot face was very subdued, she wasn’t joking and at the same time she was recounting this emotion very seriously, a few people suddenly seemed as if they were having a meeting, when Sakurajima’s gaze looked to Ryuusakura who was on the side, as if there was a tacit agreement, Ryuusakura also straightened up her back and said what was on her mind.

“I’m in a similar mood as Sakurajima, he’s the man I’ve decided I like.”

Long Sakura did not have many words to express her feelings, she could not think of so many words to show her love, but her last deep voice “I like him”, everyone could hear the depth of meaning, this love is not an understatement, but has a thickness.

Long Sakura statement ended, the attitude of the two undoubtedly gave the rest of the girls a good start, at least Hayakawa after hearing what the two said, the heart then made up his mind, drummed up the courage, shivering and raised his right hand, “The next one is me ……”

Takahashi Midu immediately threw her an astonished look, just at the beginning she took it as just a farce started by Sakurajima and didn’t take it too much to heart, but she didn’t expect the straightforward Ryuusakura to take a stand right after her, and then now even Hayakawa is ……

Hayakawa took a deep breath and said, “I-I want to stay by Natsuki’s side! I need him!”

“Swoosh-” Sakurajima cupped the side of his face and whistled at her, and Hayakawa, momentarily too emotionally charged to make his fond sentiments so explicit as well, reacted by turning his entire face red, all the way up to the nape of his neck, so close that smoke could have come out of his head.

Takahashi Midu became overwhelmed at this point, according as the order, wasn’t he right behind Ayano? Eh! I, do I have to say those words again? I’m so shy… ……

The gazes of the people at the table followed on Takahashi Ayano’s body, yet her face did not look good, beaming and staring at the tabletop for a long time, as if she was thinking about something.

Sakurajima’s keen observation naturally knew the reason for this, his chopsticks tapped on the tabletop, signaling, and then said, “What kind of person is Aoi, everyone has their own impression in their heart, in your heart Ayano, is it hard to believe that Aoi is a bad person?”

This rhetorical question reached Ayano’s ears, in an instant her expression was stunned, her puffed up cheeks slowly relaxed, her mouth lightly exhaled a breath, just now, all kinds of past images of Natsuki together with her floated to her mind, indeed, Natsuki was obviously a very gentle and kind person, she lightly bit her lower lip, after silently voicing four or five miao, she lifted up her head under the gaze of the crowd.

“Yup! I really like Natsuki too! Of course it’s not because he helps me draw manga, you guys understand what I’m saying, right? It’s not because of an ego-touched liking, it’s genuine, I genuinely like him.” Ayano began to dance around, afraid that the rest of the crowd would misunderstand the gold of her liking, but the crowd that saw this reaction really didn’t doubt her in their hearts.

Okay, so in the end it’s just Takahashi Mito.

When the last Ayano’s eyes also looked at her, Takahashi Mito was a little wimpy inwardly, but after a moment’s hesitation, she still clutched the corner of her shirt tightly with her right hand, and stammered, “Yesterday, yesterday, I, didn’t I say it, wasn’t it, wasn’t it clear enough!”

The strong tone of voice could not hide the trembling of the voice in the middle.

“Ah le le, didn’t you already apologize for that incident? If you’re really sincere, you should repeat it again now.” Sakurajima Apricot narrowed her eyes.

“Demon!” Takahashi Mito spat inwardly, there was nothing she could do about it nowadays lah, she had to force her blushing face to say out loud, “Like! I like Aoi Natsuki! That’s good enough for you!”

“Good, this way everyone is considered to have gotten the word out.” Sakurajima Apricot put down the chopsticks in her hands, and at that moment Rina, who hadn’t said anything, suddenly yelled and raised her right hand high, as if she was a bit confused about her exclusion.

Oh, almost forgot about this little guy.

Sakurajima apricot smiled sweetly at her and said, “Rina wouldn’t count in that oh, no matter what, you’ll always be the one Aoi cares about the most, you’re of a completely different nature than us.”

“Wow!” Hearing the words most cared for, Rina, who had just yelled out, had both eyes rounded, and her mood steeped in joy at the sight of Sakurajima’s sister’s affirmative gaze.

Coaxing a child is so simple, for Lina, every time as long as you move out Aoi, you can directly solve the problem, in Lina’s heart Aoi’s position is well deserved, no one can compare to the first place.

“So? What exactly are you going to say?” Takahashi Midu tried to lighten her mood, her haughty nature making her unconsciously fold her arms and hug them to her chest.

“What I’m going to say is simple, and that is, let’s all play fair next.” Sakurajima Apricot sealed the deal.

Previously among the several people more or less have existed in this topic, but this time is completely different, all of them understand each other’s hearts, all the problems in the open, last night’s Takahashi’s matter has been very illustrative, several people are because of this matter to make a very embarrassing, and now no one is willing to give up, so it is better to compete together, so that there will be a significant advantage, that is, the ……

“Regardless of the outcome, everyone would have no complaints, we have a competitive relationship, not a hostile one, and an atmosphere like the one we had this morning, seriously, everyone should be quite annoyed, right?” Sakurajima Apricot pointed out.

The remaining few nodded along as they listened.

A few people who usually talk to each other without a word became awkward this morning, is this what it feels like when you like the same boy ……

“So now you all have the power to pursue your own, we each have our own merits, then in the future, no matter who Aoi chooses, you all don’t have to have regrets, after all, you all worked hard for this, how about it? What does everyone think of this idea of mine?”

There was silence from the group, mainly because the concept was just too peculiar, if it were a year ago, any of them would not have been able to understand why they had to ponder over a boy for such a long time, sometimes falling in love can really make a person go overboard and lose their rationality.

“I agree, it would be too much of a shame not to try a little harder, any way you think about it.” Dragon Sakura took the lead.

But immediately following Ayano’s objection, “But, but just like what my sister said last night, Natsuki should have someone she likes, right?”

The words were very directional, and as soon as the words left their mouths, several people coincidentally turned their eyes towards Hayakawa, who, for the first time, was receiving so much attention that she instantly panicked, and ended up arching her entire back and burying her head so deeply that wisps of white smoke drifted out from the top of her head, and it looked like she was finally dangling.

“You can’t say that, even though Hayakawa has a huge advantage right now, isn’t that due to her hard work? Also, and who’s to say that we have no chance of winning? Ryuusakura, when you were with Aoi, didn’t you feel at one point that he had a heartbeat because of you?” Sakurajima Apricot asked Dragon Sakura rhetorically.

Long Sakura thought back carefully and immediately associated it with the other day, the corner of her mouth inadvertently revealing a smile, “Maybe, there will be that moment.”

“Yeah, everyone else should feel that way more or less, right?”

“……”

“……”

Ayano and Takahashi Mito both looked at each other, it was true, it seemed to be really happening, but, shouldn’t that be an illusion?

“Since there is a heartbeat, it can’t be said that there is no feeling, that means that has a chance of winning, one by one, you all say that you like Aoi, then naturally there is a high and low degree of liking, who can finally obtain Aoi’s heart there is no way to know, right! Love, that is war da!” Sakurajima apricot said these sophistry in a serious manner, but I didn’t expect a few people to listen to it and still think it makes sense.

People who fall in love have an infinite drop in IQ.

A strange mood lingered in everyone’s mind after the conversation, and in the end it was Ayano who couldn’t hold it in first, shouting out, and then reaching her hand to the center of the low table, “I don’t quite get it, anyway, I agree!”

The first message to sound the trumpet of success was sent, and the corners of Sakurajima’s apricot’s mouth hooked slightly, following along as she reached her hand over and folded it over Ayano’s palm.

And naturally Long Cherry would not refuse such an offer, she also disliked the fact that it was awkward for everyone to be together, and it would be great to be able to compete fairly, especially when she heard that there was still a chance of winning on her own body, and all of a sudden her heart became surging, and it was as exciting as the first time she kicked her leg to break a wooden stake.

With that, he folded his hands up as well.

“I agree.”

“I agree!” Hayakawa was going with the flow and immediately put his hand up.

At the end of the day, Takahashi Midu was left alone again, her head slightly better, always feeling like Sakurajima was leading them into a ditch.

“Takahashi, one slow step, one slow step oh.” Sakurajima apricot rich magnetic voice said, this sentence immediately to Takahashi Meidu came to a head-on blow, mention slow, she is indeed very slow ah, eat to sit at the end, go to the beach to be left behind, his dog is still Hetty negotiated with breeding, and so on everything is not because she is slow well!

“I agree!” Takahashi Mito immediately folded her hands at the top, she was losing her mind, she, she just wanted to win for once!

“Okay, so all of us are in agreement, but I’d like to mention one more thing: if we can accept the Republic and change our nationality, our current problems can be solved.”

“……”

Except for Ryuusakura, the rest of them were speechless as they listened to Sakurajima say such outrageous words with a smile on his face, and after a long time, Ayano, who was frowning tightly, looked up at Sakurajima and spoke, “You’re still for real?”

A fresh breeze blew through the house, the wind chimes rang, and the girls’ meeting for the night came to an end.

……

Next day.

Grandpa Arai changed into his farming clothes, put on his rain boots and gloves, and rode on his red tractor, which could be heard clearly when it was started with a loud roar following it for more than ten meters, and he skillfully drew a cigarette from the collar of his plaid shirt, lowered his head to light the fire with a match, and then tilted his head back, leaning back against the cushions and waiting quietly.

In a short while, Ayano, who was carrying a satchel from the front door of the house, trotted out and skillfully got into the passenger seat, grinning at her grandfather with a thumbs-up, “I’m ready to ok!”

“Oh …… then we’re off.” Grandpa Arai stepped on the gas and the tractor began to move forward, every time she rode the tractor to town Ayano found it an amazing experience, this time she was also wearing a straw hat just like her grandfather, despite the overly large difference between the two she was still excited as hell.

Now Ayano is already a jp president serial manga artist, so she has to submit her articles regularly every week, and she has more time and energy to draw manga during this time in the countryside. In the past, I heard a lot of rumors from my peers that high school manga artists who couldn’t catch up with the schedule drew manga all night long, and ended up with a burst liver and urinated blood, which is horrible to think about, but Ayano doesn’t seem to belong to this category, and it may be true to the saying that fools don’t catch colds and will always She is 100% passionate about her favorite things, and thanks to this passion, she is able to submit her work on a regular basis, even with Hayakawa’s help.

How many days and nights of hard work, only she knows, even if she tells others, it is difficult for others to understand how much she has paid, and now, it is the time for her to bear rich fruits, and she believes that she is still able to climb even higher.

“I can’t really figure out what a thumbs up means these days for the younger ones?” Grandpa Aoi inquired to Ayano at the side as he smoked a cigarette.

Ayano’s eyes suddenly gleamed as she looked steeply at her grandfather and explained, “This is the signature move of the main character in a movie called ‘Masked Knight Empty Me’! Every time he does this to people who are in trouble, it actually symbolizes the importance of being happy and positive at all times, how about it? Grandpa, isn’t it very positive?”

“Cartoons?”

“No, it’s a special, it’s a hero!”

“Oh …… sounds seems quite good.” Grandpa Aoi in the countryside has never been in contact with electronic products, speak also has a very obvious local dialect, but in front of a few girls always try to speak more clearly, people do not obey the old can not, accept new things naturally not as much as young people.

“That’s pretty good! Grandpa, do you want me to tell you a story about me? I’m a good storyteller.” Ayano raised an eyebrow at her grandfather in a quirky manner.

Grandpa Aoi squeezed the steering wheel and smiled, “If you want to tell it, I’ll listen to a novelty story.”

“Hmph~ Then this story is quite a novelty, and it all starts with a super-ancient relic ……”
