Chapter 57: The haggard Hinata Nanami
The next morning, Natsuki got up as usual and prepared to go to school.
After washing up and eating some breakfast, Natsuki left the room and went downstairs, and saw Ruyuexia who was sorting out her belongings after opening a shop on the first floor as usual.
It's just that today's Ruyuexia is a little different from usual, it is estimated that she drank too much wine last night, and she obviously hasn't completely woken up at this time, so she is dozing off while sorting out her books.
Natsuki didn't even notice when he walked down the stairs.
"Miss Kasumi, morning." It wasn't until Natsuki greeted her that she noticed Natsuki's presence.
"Ah, Xia Shujun, it's early, are you going to school?" Ru Yuexia hurriedly cheered up and smiled at Xia Shu, but the dark circles under her eyes couldn't be concealed.
"Miss Kasumi, don't you want to rest for a while? Still open so early today? Xia Shu said with a smile, after all, Ruyuexia didn't count on the income of the store to live, so why bother opening the store so early.
"Anyway, I'm used to it! I always feel that if I don't open the store sooner, it will be like I will live up to my expectations. Hawkers,I may not understand Xia Shujun when I say this.,Anyway, Xia Shujun just needs to know.,Although the second-hand bookstore is just my interest.,But I'm doing it very seriously.。 When she said these words, Ruyuexia smiled softly on her face, the smile was not intense, but it came from the heart.
"That's it! Understood, to be honest, if Miss Asuka could have half of your dedication to Miss Xia, her business would be a lot better. Natsuki couldn't help but say.
"Miss Asuka? Who is that? Ru Yuexia said a little confused.
"A friend who runs a café! It's just that she is too lazy compared to Miss Xia's diligence. Natsuki said with a smile as he thought about the sixteen nights of Asuka that looked handsome but was actually lazy.
"That's right, but if I can, I'd rather be lazy!" Ru Yuexia quietly stuck out her tongue and said in a rare playful way.
Immediately, the two laughed together.
"Then, the time is almost up, I'll go first, goodbye Miss Xia." After the greetings, Natsuki said goodbye to Ruyuexia.
"Well, Xia Shujun be careful on the road." Ruyuexia also said to Natsuki.
"By the way, do you have a cultivator?" Before turning to leave, Natsuki suddenly remembered that Kosuke Ishimaru said.
"No, after all, he has no experience with alcohol, so he guesses he's still asleep at this time!" Ru Yuexia said with a smile.
"Haha, let's hope he won't be late." Natsuki shrugged his shoulders and said.
In this way, he waved his hand at Ruyuexia again, turned around and left Ruyuezhuang.
The private Harukawa High School is as calm as ever.
Natsuki came to the classroom as normal, and then went to class, starting the day as usual.
Until the lunch break, Natsuki was still thinking about whether to go to the cafeteria for lunch or go to the commissary to buy some bread, when he was killed by Igarashi Fenghua and blocked.
"Natsuki-san." With a thud, Igarashi slammed Natsuki's table and glared at Natsuki with an oppressive look.
"Yo, it's Fenghua, what's the matter?" Natsuki greeted nonchalantly.
"What's the matter, you ask? Where did you run yesterday? Yesterday was a memorable day for our club to be officially recognized by the Student Union! I was going to celebrate a bit, but you, the deputy minister, were gone. Igarashi Kazuka looked at Natsuki with vicious eyes, looking like if you don't give me a good explanation, I want you to look good.
"Officially recognized by the Student Union? If I'm not mistaken, it's just the approval of the student council, right? Has the Student Council issued an official reply to the Department of Mystery Studies? Natsuki wondered.
"Of course not, Senior Sister Hyuga left early yesterday, how could she have time to inform the student union of this! And I didn't come to school today, so I don't know what happened. Igarashi Kazuka was also a little worried when she mentioned this.
"What? Didn't Hinata-san come to school today? Natsuki said with a slight surprise.
"Yes, I was walking around the student union early in the morning, just waiting for Senior Sister Hyuga to come to school, so I could get the official notice of permission to build the Ministry as soon as possible, who knew that Senior Sister Hyuga actually asked for leave again today." Igarashi Fenghua looked helpless.
"That's it!" Natsuki nodded thoughtfully.
"Alright, let's not talk about that! In short, you are not allowed to leave after school today, and you must come to the club room, you know? If you're releasing my pigeons, hum. Igarashi Kazuka threatened.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it today, I still have some things to do in a while." Natsuki said apologetically.
"What? You guy, you want to run away from school today? Igarashi Fenghua suddenly became dissatisfied.
"It's not about running away from school, it's about leaving now, which is really important! So sorry, I'm leaving early today. Natsuki said, and without waiting for Igarashi Fenghua to react, he just got up and left.
"Huh? You're just gone? "Igarashi Fenghua didn't expect Natsuki to leave not after school, but directly during the lunch break, and was at a loss for a while, and by the time he reacted, Natsuki had already left.
So Igarashi Fenghua could only silently mutter, "Go back and look good at you", and reluctantly went back to her classroom.
And Natsuki, who left the school early, and his destination is naturally the Inari Shrine of the Hinata Nanami family.
Following the path that had been walked several times, Natsuki soon came to the foot of the mountain where the shrine was located.
Feeling the aura of the shrine becoming weaker and weaker because Inari Yubai was sealed, Natsuki shook his head and walked towards the mountain.
After a while, I crossed the torii gate and entered the shrine.
At first glance, I saw Hinata Nanami, who was wearing a shrine maiden costume and kneeling in front of the main hall of the shrine.
Looking at the surging spiritual power on her body, it was obvious that she was in cultivation.
"Why didn't you go to school?" Natsuki walked over and stood beside Nanami Hinata and spoke.
"If I had started working hard earlier instead of indulging in the feeling of being trusted by everyone in school life, I would have been able to help Tamahaku-sama before! Maybe Lord Yubai won't need to be sealed. Hinata Nanami's voice was a little hoarse.
Natsuki looked at Hinata Nanami's haggard appearance, who obviously hadn't slept all night last night, and sighed a little helplessly.
"You are like this, even if you are sealed Inari Yubai, you will not feel at ease." Natsuki persuaded.
"I know, but I won't be at ease if I don't." After Hinata Nanami was haggard, there was a kind of alternative beauty on his face, and he barely pulled out a smile.
