Chapter 98: Rejecting Ryuusakura and choosing Hayakawa!

“Huh? There seems to be one less.” The chubby girl counted the number of people and realized that there was one less than just now.

“Maybe they sneaked away, look at that path, they should have run away from there.” Another thin girl pointed to the snow-covered lawn there is a clear trace, carefully looked at the number of people, and found that the one who ran away is exactly that “big sister”.

You were the most arrogant one just now, and now you’re the fastest one, so you deserve to be the “Big Sister”.

“Oh? Someone buggered off? I’ll just go after them then.” Blade said in a casual tone with his hands in his jacket pockets.

“You don’t have to go for this little thing.” Dragon Sakura said.

“It’s fine, it’s fine, it’s not bad to warm up your body once in a while in winter.” The corners of Blade’s mouth rose, then step by step, he slowly walked in the direction of the trail.

Yusuke looked at this little girl who was probably only up to his waist, and thought she was joking when he heard her say that, but then he turned his eyes and saw that the person was almost ten meters away, and he also showed his surprise, and came closer to Natsuki, and asked, “She can’t really be chasing after that girl, right, is it okay for her to have a small physique like that… …”

Hearing this, Aoi Natsuki glanced at Yusuke in surprise, and after a long moment of silence, he reached out to pat his arm and sighed, “Young man is still too young.”

“Eh?”

Yusuke Oki kind of never figured this thing out.

With that, Ryuusakura learned that the two were going to a burger store and offered to go along, Aoi Natsuki looked to Yusuke, who had no problem with it, having already met on Christmas day before, and were both quite familiar with each other.

The three of them traveled together to Aoi Natsuki’s house, and it was the first time for Ryuusakura to visit, so her eyes kept looking back and forth in the garden until she saw Yoshi-san, and the one man and the dog engaged in a stare down.

After a good while, Aoi Natsuki picked up Rina and came out, and then found Jijiang lying faithfully at Ryuusakura’s feet, her tail fawning and waving back and forth nonstop.

“This ……” Aoi Natsuki didn’t know what to say, while Ryuusakura gave him a smile in return.

After preparing dog food and water for Jijang, the four of them then headed to a nearby burger joint.

Lena was obviously thrilled to hear the news, and kids, well, they always like fried food.

“I’ll just order three of this and two of this, and you see what you want.”

Ordering from the same cell phone, Natsuki Aoi saw Ryuusakura ordering another five set meals, this time far more than the three from last time.

Yusuke was also very surprised, but didn’t say anything and silently ordered his own meal, after that when all the meals came up, the amount not only shocked them, but also attracted the attention of many customers who ordered.

Looking at the table full of burgers and fries, barbecued wings, and so on, Leigh’s wide-open mouth couldn’t close for a long time, and it was clear that this was an image that could only possibly come to her in her dreams.

The afterglow of the previous Christmas was still fresh, and the walls were plastered with wallpaper with many Christmas motifs.

Even the lamps dangling down overhead look especially lovely with red flannel wrapped around the shades.

“Let’s get started then.” Aoi Natsuki pinched Lina’s cheeks, and then the crowd started eating.

Long Sakura’s eating speed had obviously slowed down a lot this time, but the amount of food still remained unabated, and Natsuki Aoi couldn’t imagine how on earth she managed to maintain such a good figure by eating so much high-calorie food.

Aoi Natsuki’s eyes unconsciously fell on her collarbone.

After a while his eyes shifted upwards just in time to bump into Ryuusakura who was looking straight at him.

Four eyes met.

This sneaky feeling of being discovered made Aoi Natsuki feel a pang of weakness.

But instead, the corners of Ryuusakura’s mouth slowly rose, her right hand only used her thumb and forefinger to pick up the Coke cup, and her magnetic voice slowly said, “Natsuki, when are we going to have our first solo date?”

“Pfft!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Yusuke, who was nibbling on a burger on the side, almost spat out his food.

Crap! What the hell!

How is it that all of a good sudden there is such an ambiguous topic of conversation!

Yusuke obviously did not think that Long Cherry is actually on the summer tree is this mind, before there is a feeling that she is this girl character especially straightforward, but the words of a meter eight girls should not find a meter nine two meters of the boys well, anyway, Yusuke felt that he was completely in the aura on the pressure can not be her, but never thought that she was actually like the summer tree!

“You, you ……” Yusuke pointed at the two, his voice shaking.

Although Aoi Natsuki was a bit surprised, he quickly calmed down and gave Yusuke a wink, and with that, he was seconds away from sitting at a nearby table first.

As Aoi Natsuki shifted her eyes back, she realized that Ryuusakura was still waiting for an answer to that question, unlike Hayakawa, or Takahashi, she just couldn’t read the awkward air of the moment.

“Why me?” Natsuki Aoi asked, “I obviously haven’t had a lot of contact with you.”

“So you don’t like me?”

Dragon Sakura suddenly came with a rhetorical question.

Natsuki Aoi froze, honestly, he hadn’t thought about the concept of liking for a while, he just remembered a momentary flutter of his heart that Christmas.

Do you like Dragon Sakura yourself?

It didn’t seem to be to that extent, the favorability was there, but compared to her unwavering certainty of liking herself, there was still a huge gap between the two.

What about Hayakawa?

What were his own feelings for Hayakawa?

Aoi Natsuki had been with Hayakawa for a long time, with her it felt like even if she was a bit lazy it was completely fine, the two currently also had a lot of common hobbies, to say that they liked it, they should like Hayakawa even more.

It was just …… that Christmas when he himself developed a feeling of heartfelt love for Dragon Sakura, which made him question all his original calculations.

The Divine Maiden’s question was equally spot-on.

It’s a choice for mission fulfillment versus for your own longevity.

This is something he always thinks about.

He lowered his head as he fell into a longer contemplation over the question.

And just then, a text message rang, interrupting Aoi’s thoughts, and opened his phone to see that it was a text message from Hayakawa.

“Natsuki, aren’t you home? I have some plums from the countryside that I want to take to you.”

After reading this text message, Aoi Natsuki’s heart skipped a beat.

What had been a puzzling thought was suddenly clear.

Yes, it is! Isn’t that the emotion that’s kept me going all this time?

It was Hayakawa who inspired and accompanied me, who gave me hope at that time.

Aoi Natsuki figured it all out at once, then picked up her cell phone and stood up from her seat.

“I’m sorry, Hayakawa had something for me, and I think …… I’ve figured it out, so …… sorry.”

Natsuki Aoi bowed deeply at Ryuusakura.

She was indeed the first person to confess to herself so boldly since she came to this world, and if she hadn’t met Hayakawa, she would have been unwavering in her choice.

But now, before her, a figure of only five-foot-one with a gentle and understanding personality had crept into his heart.

He thought he had it all figured out.

Long Sakura looked at his serious gaze, expecting to be greeted with a lecture or perhaps a loss, but she didn’t expect a greater surprise to burst out of her eyes instead, followed by a heavy nod at him.

“There you go then.”

“Thanks!” Aoi Natsuki packed some snacks for Rina, then took Rina in the direction of her home.

On the side of the Yusuke eating spicy wings, a bewildered look at the scene of the changing situation, there are many things he does not understand, but from the results of the Dragon Sakura seems to be dumped looks …… right?

“You, all right?”

“Nope.” Dragon Sakura smiled wider and unwrapped the next burger, continuing to eat it with a big bite, “Now that’s my kind of man!”

……

Nightfall.

Temperatures drop rapidly at this time.

Aoi Natsuki took Rina back to the neighborhood on the bus.

Walk around the corner and his house is not far ahead.

He trotted up and soon saw a petite figure.

That scene also stayed with him no matter how much time passed.

The tightly wrapped Hayakawa Keiko, carrying a small bamboo basket in her hand, pacing back and forth in the snow under the light of the street lamp, white hot air exhaling intermittently from her mouth, a red scarf wrapped around her neck, and the canvas shoes she wore on her feet were already a little bit old, Aoi Natsuki stepped forward, and Hayakawa Keiko also raised her head immediately after seeing the shadow.

In addition to those surprised eyes, the tip of her nose had long since frozen red.

Just like that a little meat dumpling has been quietly waiting for him to come back.

Aoi Natsuki pulled Rina up, seeing that there was some white snow on the top of her head along with her shoulders, and then swept it with her hand, and her movements were very direct and rough.

With such an intimate action, Hayakawa was also shy and immediately buried his head into the scarf.

“Plum, Plum ……”

Holding the bamboo basket with both hands, he lifted it a little bit to his face.
