Chapter 24 – Takahashi Mito’s gesture?

……

Early Saturday morning, Natsuki Arai woke up to find frosty air on the windows, a chill came over him and he shivered, quickly getting dressed and going to Rina’s room to find it long gone.

He then went down to the first floor and heard a noise coming from the dining room and pushed the door open to see Lina taking one of the ingredients she was supposed to make in the morning out of the fridge, but stepping on a small bench because she wasn’t tall enough.

The refrigerator was a double-door style, and Leigh’s tiny body was pressed against the outer wall, her right hand struggling to reach the boiled meat slices on the top shelf.

A few seconds later, a pair of large hands appeared from above her head and took down the boiled meat slice.

Lina turned her head to Natsuki in surprise, her face instantly showing joy.

“Why don’t you ask me for help with something like this?”

Leena danced her hands around, comparing them to sign language and making a sleeping gesture.

These days Aoi Natsuki had learned quite a few sign language tutorials from the internet himself in order to be able to ensure normal communication with Rina, and simple communication was still no problem.

“How dangerous would it be if you accidentally got hurt and bumped into something, well, go sit in the living room and I’ll make you breakfast.” Aoi Natsuki reached out and pinched her cheeks, Rina smiled brightly.

She was then herded into the living room with underfloor heating, and what had been a bit of a cool, wintry environment warmed up all of a sudden.

Lena doesn’t have to go to school now either, so she can spend all her weekends watching her favorite cartoons.

And in the kitchen, Aoi Natsuki began to wash and cook, listening to the sound of the water running as his mind went back to the unspoken words the godly maiden had said to him the night before.

But he could never figure out what the reason for this was, was it simply that she wanted to tease herself? But the heaviness revealed in one of the words seemed not to be so ……

Snap-snap-

One after another, the sound of bare feet stamping across the floor.

Natsuki Aoi turned back.

Lina was holding her writing pad up in her hand, trying to say something sharply.

“Rina! It’s winter, wear shoes you know!” Aoi Natsuki took off her gloves, picked up Rina and walked out of the kitchen, returning to the living room couch and sitting down.

“What’s going on? So anxious.”

With a grease pencil, Lena drew a circle around the periphery of a passage on the writing pad, marking the highlights.

Natsuki Aoi took a closer look.

“Metu-san wants me to raise Yoshi-sauce.”

“Huh?” Natsuki Aoi froze.

Immediately following Lina’s thought, she pulled out her cell phone and tapped on the text message screen, showing him the contents of the original text message.

“Parents aren’t allowed to keep it ……”

……

Takahashi Mito doesn’t have many friends around, and Hayakawa Keiko is a little afraid of dogs, so after thinking about it, she surprisingly ends up deciding to let Lina keep Yoshizou.

Just chatting for half an hour of friendship is far more than the results of his own hard work with her for several weeks, this damn favorability ……

It’s a good sign, though, that Natsuki Aoi also likes these large dogs, and Akita looks pretty cute.

Just for that, Aoi Natsuki was invited to the rooftop by her for the first time.

There was suddenly an inextricable connection between the two.

Should I call this a stroke of luck?

When Natsuki Arai arrived at the rooftop, Midu Takahashi was waiting there early on the far bench.

He walked over while saying hello, “Yo.”

Takahashi Mito looked up at him and said, “Just stand and listen to me.”

“What do you mean? Are you going to lecture?”

“Stand when I tell you to stand!”

“I prefer not to.” Aoi Natsuki sat down on the far side of the bench while Takahashi Mito’s body shuddered and immediately moved away a bit, but amazingly, she didn’t even try to stand up either.

Or is it because I’m being asked? ……

“I really didn’t expect you guys to be so hardcore in your bones, are you straight?” Takahashi Midu coldly mocked.

“That’s because you don’t know me, from now on I’m tougher than anyone! If you want to be reasonable let’s sit down and talk it out, if you want to be unreasonable, then don’t blame me for being unforgiving!” Although Aoi Natsuki had rarely been in a relationship, in his perception, boys with character were at least better than boys who flattered.

Takahashi Mito had kind of seen this side of him the first few times as well, this guy didn’t expect to have a temper.

“Favorability +2”

It really is much more effective than licking a dog.

“Nonsense is not much to say, I want to let Rina help me raise Yoshizou, I …… can not raise it for the time being due to my family situation.” Mentioning this, Takahashi Midu’s face flashed a moment of divine sadness, it looked like there had been an in-depth discussion of this matter with the family, but it was obviously denied.

“Lina raising isn’t the same as me raising it, you really want an eight year old girl to take care of Jijiang’s food, drink and shit ah, she even wets her own bed from time to time, and the little pants she buys for her are always gradually diminishing ……”

Natsuki Aoi narrowed her eyes.

“Why is it decreasing?” Takahashi Mito was also curious.

“Hidden away, I guess, tucked in and out of all the cracks in the closet, and I have to look for it half the time every weekend.”

“Pfft.” Takahashi Mito burst out laughing at that, but immediately covered her mouth with her hand.

Aoi Natsuki, on the other hand, was surprised, it was the first time he had seen her smile, and it was quite an affable smile.

Followed closely by a return to that disgusted face.

Being watched with a disgusted look on their face, some of the boys actually think it’s wonderful ……

“Ahem, a bit of a tangent, there’s nothing wrong with raising Yoshi-sauce from my side, it’s just that you suddenly changed your mind, did something happen at home?” Aoi Natsuki wanted to ask what was going on.

“Just, just ……” She felt Aoi Natsuki’s direct gaze and immediately inclined her head, forcing down the dislike in her heart as she opened her mouth, “My parents won’t allow me to raise… …”

“I heard you were originally planning to place a kennel for him outside yourself, is that not allowed either?”

“Well, my mom wants me to keep my mind on my studies and won’t let me have a pet.” Takahashi Mito finally told the truth.

So that’s what happened.

Aoi Natsuki nodded, this should have been the best option.

“Okay, no problem, it just so happens that Leena is bored at home and it’s good to have a dog to keep her company.”

“Really, really!”

“Favorability +5”

Looks like she really cares about the dog.

“Then just ask me to settle any future expenses regarding dog food as well as kennel related expenses, I only have one request.”

“What?”

“Can I… can I go see Kat Sauce periodically?”

Aoi Natsuki froze and smiled bashfully, “Of course it’s fine, but the money for the dog food will still be from my side, I know you have money, but it’s time to separate.”

“Okay, I get it.”

“OK, so that’s the end of today’s conversation, I’ll go ahead ……”

“Wait!” Takahashi Mito called out to him.

Natsuki Arai turned her head.

It’s so weird to see Takahashi Mito gripping her pleated skirt with both hands with a reluctant and forcing herself look on her face! It’s really weird!

Stammering, he opened his mouth, “Give me, give me, give me, give me your contact, party, way ……”
