Chapter 198: Be Cash-Filled
Miki Yatsuhashi wrapped dozens of game helmets in a torn sheet and carried them behind her, happily carrying a large pile of nuts to Natsuki and Konoe Chiaki's side like a hamster with a full load.
"Done?" Natsuki asked with a smile.
"Well, that's it, this time my eldest sister and I can also play games." Miki Yatsuhashi said with a smile.
"That's good, it's late, it's time to go back." Natsuki nodded and said.
"yes, is Natsuki-sama still sending us back?" Mitsuki Hatsuhashi looked at Chiaki Konoe, who had already sobered up, and it seemed that Natsuki had no reason to send them.
"Of course, since we're here, of course I'm going to send you back, let's go." Natsuki said with a smile.
Suddenly, Miaki Yatsuhashi's face showed an obvious happy expression, and even Chiaki Konoe, who had always maintained indifference, couldn't help but soften his face.
So, with the screams of the thugs as background music, the three of them quickly left the abandoned building and returned to Konoe Chiaki's apartment.
After sending the two back to the apartment, Natsuki said goodbye and left.
That's all the time a long day has passed.
Back at Ruyuezhuang, the lights on the first floor had been turned off, and Xia Shu quietly pushed the door in, ready to enter the second floor, but at this moment, the door of Ruyuexia's room was pushed open, and Ruyuexia walked out of it with a sigh.
"Is Xia Shujun back? I came back so late today. Ruyuexia greeted Natsuki.
"Well, I'm back, there's something going on today." Natsuki said with a smile.
"It's not just something today, as far as I know, Xia Shujun didn't come back last night." Ruyuexia winked at Natsuki and said.
"Well, yes, there were some things last night, so I didn't come back!" Xia Shu said with a natural expression on his face.
"Ah, really, it's really Xia Shujun, it's not even fun to tease." Ru Yuexia sighed and said.
"I'll take this as a compliment, and Miss Xia, you didn't sleep so late, did you play a game again?" Natsuki also asked with a smile.
"Xia Shujun, you can be regarded as knowingly asking! Okay, it's getting late, I'm going to wash up and rest, Xia Shujun should rest early. After Ruyuexia finished speaking to Natsuki, she walked towards the bathroom without caring about him.
Natsuki smiled and walked towards his room on the second floor.
As he passed by Kosuke Ishimaru's room, Natsuki could still hear the subtle sound of the game helmet running in the room, which meant that he was still playing a game.
In addition to sighing about this, Xia Shu was really full of energy, so he didn't say anything.
So the night went by, and the time soon came to the next day.
Natsuki, who had a good night's sleep, washed up and went downstairs to prepare for school.
But after walking down the stairs, I saw the quiet second-hand bookstore on the first floor.
That's right, today's second-hand bookstore didn't open early, obviously Ruyuexia was sleeping.
Sure enough, after playing the game, even Ruyuexia gradually became less attentive to running her used bookstore.
But it's just an interest anyway, and it's up to her to do whatever she wants.
Pushing the door briskly, Natsuki left the rare used bookstore that didn't open early in the morning, and headed for the school.
Along the way, the sky is still clear, and the early morning sun is shining on people's bodies, warm.
Natsuki made his way to the school, entered the classroom as usual, and sat in his seat.
The surrounding students were still chattering about their interests, and as time went by, the number of people who could discuss the legends of the mountains and seas gradually decreased.
After all, no matter how cross-generational and attractive the legend of the mountains and seas is, it is certainly not everyone's favorite, some time ago, in order to keep up with the trend, even people who are not interested in the legends of mountains and seas may discuss it in order to cooperate with other people's topics, but gradually as the heat subsides, everyone gradually returns to rationality.
Although there are still so many people who like the legends of mountains and seas, there is no longer only one voice in the class that discusses the legends of mountains and seas.
In this way, as the class bell rang, Natsuki's day's lessons began again.
During the lunch break, just as Natsuki was about to go to the cafeteria to eat, a figure appeared at the door of Natsuki's classroom, and when he saw that figure, Natsuki's footsteps paused, but he still greeted him.
That figure was none other than Aoki Hana, and it was clear that she had come to ask Natsuki about something.
As for what to ask, Natsuki doesn't have to guess to know, it must be related to the sudden disappearance of Hoshino Aihua.
That's right, in the eyes of Aoki Hana and the office, Hoshino Aika suddenly disappeared.
After all, before Hoshino Aihua left, it was impossible to explain her ins and outs to the firm, and besides, Hoshino Aika had not signed a contract with the firm before, but only had this intention.
So there was a scene where Aoki Hana came to inquire about the news.
"Kazama-san, has something happened to Koika-chan in the last two days? Why can't I reach her? After the two came to the teaching building again, Hana Aoki asked directly.
"Don't worry, she's fine, it's just that something happened at home, so she was called back temporarily." Natsuki said.
"I see." Aoki Hana breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly asked, "Then when will Lianhua-chan come back?" ”
"She, who knows, maybe won't come back." Natsuki shook his head and said.
"Won't be coming back? Then, doesn't she want to sign a contract with the firm to become an idol? Aoki Hana was stunned and quickly asked.
"It's not something she wants to think about, it's something she can't do." Natsuki shook his head and said.
"No, obviously Lianhua sauce is so talented, where is her hometown? I'm going to find her. Aoki Hana gritted her teeth and said.
"It's too early, don't worry, if she really can't come back, I'll go and bring her back." Natsuki looked at Aoki Hana with serious eyes, and then said.
"Bring her back? Then let me go with me. Aoki Hana said quickly.
"No, that's not where you should be." Natsuki shook his head and said.
"Why?" Hana Aoki asked.
"Have you forgotten who she really is? It's very dangerous for an ordinary person like you, and I don't want to trap you in without bringing her back. Natsuki deliberately used an exaggerated tone to express the danger to Aoki Hana so that she could retreat.
"I'm not afraid of danger." Aoki Hana replied as she looked at Natsuki with a firm look in her eyes.
"Really? And what about your sister? Do you think that if you go to such a dangerous place without permission, Huayang will sit idly by? With her character, most of them will go together! And then you are not only going to put yourself in danger, but also your sister is going to be in danger? Natsuki asked rhetorically.
And in the face of Natsuki's question, Aoki Hana opened her mouth and was speechless.
"So, don't worry, I'll bring her back." Natsuki smiled and assured Aoki Hana.
"I see, then Xia Shujun, if you are going to go, please remember to tell me, I will cheer for you." Aoki Hana nodded heavily.
"Leave it to me." Natsuki continued to smile.
In this way, Aoki Hana was finally persuaded by Natsuki to go back.
Natsuki also hurried to the cafeteria, ate something casually, and the afternoon class began.
With the sound of the school bell, it is time for club activities again.
Although the entrusted task has been completed, Natsuki must still go to today's club activities.
Because there are still some aftermath things to deal with.
In this way, Natsuki left the teaching building all the way and came to the dilapidated old teaching building, along the dilapidated corridor, his feet creaked on the ground, and Natsuki came to the mysterious event research department and pushed open the door of the club room.
"Yo, Natsuki, you're here." Igarashi Fenghua, who was sitting on the sofa in the club activity room, greeted Natsuki with a full of energy.
"Here, it looks like you don't have anything to do." Natsuki said with a smile to Kazuka Igarashi.
"Of course, don't look at who I am, just a little bit of wine, but it can't beat me at all." Igarashi Fenghua said proudly.
"Xia Shujun, I really caused you trouble last night." Hinata Nanami said a little embarrassed about his gaffe last night.
"Nanami-san, you're polite, everyone is a classmate, so it's not natural to have a meal together once in a while and take care of each other." Natsuki said unconcernedly, not even mentioning the word wine at all.
After all, for Nanami Hinata, who is the student council president, drinking is still a sensitive topic, and at the same time, Natsuki also turned to Igarashi Kazuka to speak again.
"Also, as a student, don't say anything about wine, wine, at least in school, don't mention this word." Natsuki reminded.
"I know, I know, I didn't just say it in the club room, I'm not stupid." Igarashi Fenghua said dissatisfiedly.
"Yes, yes, you're not stupid, you're still slightly stronger than stupid." Natsuki shrugged his shoulders and sat down on the couch and said.
"What do you mean by that? How do I feel like you're complimenting me? Igarashi Kazuka looked at Natsuki suspiciously.
"You're thinking too much." Natsuki shrugged again, intending to obfuscate the past.
And at this moment, a knock on the door helped Natsuki, causing Igarashi Kazuka's attention to be diverted.
"Excuse me, may I come in?" It was Kazuha Maeda who heard the sound knocking on the door.
After Natsuki and Igarashi Kazuka and Hinata Nanami glanced at each other, they were invited by Igarashi Kazuka, who was the head of the Mysterious Events Research Department.
"Please come in, the door is unlocked." Igarashi Kazuka said.
Immediately, a figure pushed the door and walked in, it was Maeda Kazuha.
It's just that Maeda Kazuha at this moment, compared to Maeda Kazuha that everyone saw the day before yesterday and yesterday, the spirit of the whole person is different.
If the previous Maeda Kazuha was decadent in temperament, then the current Maeda Kazuha is high-spirited, as if he has found a purpose in life.
"What are you?" Natsuki wondered.
"Hinata-san, Kazama-san, Igarashi-san." As soon as Maeda Kazuha came in, he bowed deeply to everyone in the club room and said.
Then, before the three of them could say anything, he continued.
"Thank you, thank you for letting me meet her, I didn't see her in human form, but I am very grateful." Kazuha Maeda said.
"Oh, so we're done?" Igarashi Fenghua is most concerned about this.
"Of course, the commission has been completed, thank you very much." Kazuha Maeda said again.
"Hahaha, it's okay, you're welcome, it's all a small thing, I'll just say that for our Mysterious Events Research Department, there's nothing that can't be done!" Igarashi Fenghua stood up and smiled exaggeratedly with her hands on her hips, her face full of pride.
It wasn't until Hinata Nanami next to him couldn't stand it anymore that he reached out and pressed the standing Igarashi Kazeka down again to sit down on the sofa again, and then he spoke.
"So, I don't know what the day before yesterday classmate plans for the future?" Hinata Nanami is very concerned about this issue, because seeing Maeda Kazuha's mental state now, he knows that he must have made some decision.
"I want to be a cash-out." Kazuha Maeda took a deep breath and said it despite being very nervous.
"Become a cash-out?" Everyone present was a little surprised.
"That's right, I'm going to be a present, to be good enough to be qualified to see Miss Werewolf as a human." Kazuha Maeda clenched his hands and said with a firm face.
"It seems that what she said to you yesterday did have a great impact on you." Natsuki also said with some emotion.
"Yes, she changed my life, because from today onwards, I am not the same person I used to be." Kazuha Maeda said as if he was cheering himself up.
"Don't be busy making up your mind, whether it has changed your life or not, and talk about it when you can stick to it! You know, it's not so easy to charge now. Natsuki looked at Kazuha Maeda and said with a smile in his eyes.
"I will do it, first I will study hard, then I will join clubs, and then I will live a brilliant and colorful high school life." Maeda Kazuha said with a fire burning in his eyes.
"Okay, then you go for it." Kazuka Igarashi looked at Kazuha Maeda with an interested expression and said to him.
"That's right, come on, go and be who you want to be." Hinata Nanami also said encouragingly to Kazuha Maeda.
"Thank you, thank you so much! Well, I take my leave. Maeda Kazuha finally bowed deeply to the group again, and then turned to leave.
With the sound of the door of the club room closing, it seems that Kazuha Maeda has also said his final goodbye to his former self, and he is going to travel lightly and move forward bravely.
