Although Waseda University's headquarters is located in Shinjuku, it is not as bustling as Shinjuku 2-chome.

The colourful neighborhoods are as fantastical as ink paintings, and you can even see across the road that the entrance to the park is a torii gate with a unique regional character.

Passing by the entrance of the convenience store, the girls who came down from the Arakawa Line were in the pink cherry blossoms, which brightened Naoki's field of vision.

There are very few girls who go to school alone in Japan, and they go to school in groups, and even when they go out alone, they develop into small groups on the road.

The girls who came up from the subway station were talking and laughing, and the originally cheerful smile turned into a shy smile after seeing Naoki Natsume.

"Look, there's a lot of handsome guys in Tokyo, and it's great to be able to come to Tokyo to go to university."

"It's been a year since you got used to it, haven't you gotten used to it? You should have seen enough of those handsome guys in the Faculty of Business, right? ”

"This one is different! The boys in our department are all handsome who look trendy, and they can do it if they have money in the family~ But he is handsome who looks very sunny. ”

"Sunshine? How can I feel like a melancholy prince instead? ”

"Okay, okay, I know what you like Hal the most, how many times have you watched Howl's Moving Castle."

"Eh~ When you say that, the more I look at it, the more I think he looks like Hal! It's my dish, and if it's really the same school, I'll ask for a contact information, right? ”

Natsume didn't notice that there were two girls across the road looking at him.

I don't blame him for his poor insight, because there is really no way, there are too many people watching him along the way.

Just because he was held down by the maid at home in a tough posture and got a haircut?

Changing your hairstyle makes such a big change?

"Obviously, no one paid attention to me before, even the class." Naoki Natsume carried the one-handed bag that Mao Asai bought for him on his shoulder, somewhat like a standard male student in Japan.

The influence of the so-called private maid on him has begun to slowly expand from that two-story building to his entire life.

The road is blocked tightly by the cars that come to see off the students at the school gate, and many traffic police are directing traffic.

At the vending machine across the road, a friend who hadn't seen her during spring break was greeting her, and the promotional posters for the new year were placed in front of the convenience store next to it.

Naoki Natsume walked all the way from the asphalt road, and the school became two worlds outside the school.

"Classmates, classmates!" Hurried footsteps sounded behind him, and he turned around to find that it was two young girls in long skirts, "Classmates, please wait a minute." ”

"What's the matter?" Naoki Natsume asked.

The two girls pushed each other, and then the nearest one mustered up the courage to ask Naoki Natsume, "Classmate, do you want me to take you around the campus to familiarize yourself?" ”

"Familiar with the campus?"

"That's right~ You see that volunteers may not be available, and they have to receive a lot of people, so they will leave if they take you to the school."

The girl's companion also came over and added, "Why don't we take you for a walk?" The cypress trees in the school are very beautiful, and there is a statue of Tsubouchi free, so it is said that if you shake hands, you will succeed in your studies! ”

Naoki Natsume understands that they think of themselves as new students.

"I already shook Tsubouchi's hand last year," Naoki Natsume smiled politely, "I'm sorry, I'm not a freshman, so it seems that there is no need to familiarize myself with the campus." ”

"Huh? Isn't it a freshman? The girls asked, "Which department do you belong to?" ”

"Faculty of Engineering, computer science." Naoki Natsume replied.

At the end, he thought about it for a moment and added, "I don't know how to fix computers." ”

The eyes of the two of them looked him up and down, as if it was not the same as the classmates in the engineering department in their impressions.

It turns out that there are handsome guys in the engineering department!

It's still this kind of good-looking all-round handsome guy.

The original cautious temptation gradually turned into courage with Naoki Natsume's easy-going and handsome smile.

"Classmate, do you want to leave a contact information?" The shy girl plucked up the courage to ask.

Look, being handsome means having the mysterious power to make shy girls pluck up courage.

Naoki Natsume didn't expect that he would be accosted one day, and he was still asked for contact information by a girl he didn't know while walking on the road.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw a familiar figure in the volunteer reception far behind the girls.

A tall figure, an enthusiastic smile, and a signature ponytail.

"No, I'm sorry." Naoki Natsume rejected the girls, and he skipped the girls' slightly disappointed expressions and looked into the distance.

At the same time, the tall girl with a single ponytail also inadvertently glanced this way.

"Huh?"

Mio Izumi, who was handing out maps to new students, was stunned.

Be...... Natsume-san?

Naoki Natsume changed so much that Mio Izumi was stunned for a few seconds before he dared to be sure that it was really him.

"Hello senior, how do I get to the auditorium?" A new student asked.

"Huh? Oh! Mio Izumi came back to her senses, hurriedly handed him the booklet in her hand, and then tilted her head and pointed to the way: "Go forward and turn left at the end, and you will see a statue and a small garden, and there will be volunteers over there, they will take you there." ”

Naoki Natsume stared at Mio Izumi for a moment, obviously making up his mind during the summer vacation, and the reunion should be greeted well.

Everything starts with the next sentence of "long time no see" under the cherry blossoms in spring, like a bridge in Haruki Murakami.

But it seems that the senior sister is a little busy, so let's not bother.

Naoki Natsume turned to leave at the same time that Mio Izumi turned around.

She watched his back as he left, subconsciously trying to stop him.

But the distance between the two was far away, and Mio Izumi's outstretched hand and half-open mouth in mid-air stopped.

The movement froze for a few seconds, until Natsume Naoki completely disappeared into the crowd of new students and could not be found, and Mio Izumi silently raised his small hand and put it on his chest, sighed softly, and sighed a little like a thread of thought.

"Mio-chan! Please go somewhere else and see if there are any big buckets of water, if only you could move the water dispenser all over! I don't have any water to drink! ”

"I see!"

A companion was shouting in the distance, and Mio Izumi responded, thinking that there seemed to be a water intake place on the side of the teaching building of the Faculty of Engineering.

………………………………

"Water intake! If you're thirsty, don't hesitate to fetch water! ”

There are specially set up water dispensers and sunshades on the side of the road at the entrance of the teaching building of the Faculty of Engineering to provide paper cups for students passing by to drink water.

Naoki Natsume, who happened to come to the teaching building to find someone, was a little thirsty, he looked at his watch, and there was still some time left before the professor's prescribed work time, so he came to the awning.

"Classmate, do you need some water?" The volunteer asked enthusiastically, "There is warm water." ”

"Please give me a paper cup." Naoki Natsume said.

Walking all the way and being watched all the way, the hot eyes of the girls on the road actually showed him sweat, Natsume Naoki laughed at himself and thought to himself, it must not be because of his poor physical fitness.

If this is placed in ancient times, I am afraid it is another allusion to praise the handsomeness of men.

I took the paper cup from the volunteer's hand and put it to the hot water outlet and pressed it, but no water came out.

Naoki Natsume frowned, and tried the cold water vent again, but it still didn't work.

He gently pushed the bucket above the water dispenser with his hand, and then patted the water dispenser, to no avail.

The volunteers also found the problem and came over: "What's the matter, classmate, the water dispenser is broken?" ”

"Well, probably." Naoki Natsume sighed.

Is that really the case?

It's starting to be bad luck again.

"This ......," the volunteer scratched his head, and then said, "Then I'll take the bucket down and pour it for you, but it's a little cold, don't mind." ”

Naoki Natsume shook his head and put the unused paper cup back on the table: "Don't be so troublesome, I'm not too thirsty, thank you." ”

Looking at Naoki Natsume's back as he left, the volunteer sighed softly.

This water dispenser was fine just now, why did it break?

It's rare to sit here all morning, and someone wants to come and drink saliva.

Most of those who volunteer to become volunteers have a lot of energy in their hearts, and they even feel a little regretful that they can't help others.

"Classmate, you have a water dispenser here, right? The flow of people at the school gate is too large and the water dispenser is not enough, can you take it over first? ”

A few minutes later, Mio Izumi also came to this awning, "and I will return it after the peak season...... There is simply not enough water to drink. ”

The volunteer looked at Mio Izumi, who was also wearing an armband, thought for a while and said, "It's okay, we have come here to drink water for half a day, and it's a waste to put it here." But it's a pity that the water dispenser is broken, so why don't I help you get the bucket? ”

Mio Izumi looked at the water dispenser and shook the bucket gently, but it was so heavy that no one had ever taken the water.

"Is it Izumi-senpai?" Another girl from this volunteer base recognized Mio Izumi and happily came over: "Senior, I've heard for a long time that Senior Sister Izumi is recognized as a lucky star by the Ministry of Physical Education, maybe I can rely on luck to fix the water dispenser!" ”

The volunteer boy she called a senior scratched his head and didn't quite believe it.

But I can only try.

Mio Izumi took a deep breath in the eyes of the two of them, either expectant or suspicious, and gently put Naoki Natsume's paper cup under the water outlet just now, and pressed the switch.

"Goo-dong!"

The sound of bubbles sounded in the barrel, and Mio Izumi was not surprised, and the boy raised his eyebrows in surprise.

And the girl came to the boy's side with a happy face and smiled with her face up, "How about seniors, I just said that senior sister is recognized as the lucky star of the school, right?" ”

Is that really the case?

Luck is starting to favor you again.

Izumi Mio watched herself get into trouble again in a daze, relying on luck to get the trouble, and shook her head and moved the water dispenser: "I'll just move it myself, don't bother you." ”

"But ......"

"You need to guide new students here, don't bother!"

Mio Izumi walked away, and the volunteer looked at her back holding the water cooler easily, and thought about the handsome boy just now, thinking about whether the boy just now was unlucky, or the girl was lucky?
