Chapter 8: Hayato Kitahara
It is said that it is the beginning of the school, but in fact it should be regarded as an orientation, so there are no classes.
The old students officially start classes three days later, and in a place like the university, where no one cares about you, as long as there are no classes, everyone is too lazy to come to school.
So today, in addition to those clubs that aim to recruit new students, they will actively recruit people, and the rest of the school will go to school to watch girls and flirt with students.
Naoki Natsume neither joined a club nor had the intention of accosting a schoolgirl, and there was a reason why he came to school early this morning-
I didn't choose classes during the holidays, so I asked the professor to make amends at the beginning of the semester.
As we all know, the university's academic affairs system is a server made of potatoes, and universities all over the world share a potato.
The potato system and the aura of daily bad luck, of course, Naoki Natsume didn't choose the class because of the display BUG.
By the time he received the credit warning email from the school, he had already missed the online course registration time.
Most people will have a hard time encountering this kind of thing, but Naoki Natsume is almost numb to it.
Bad luck has become accustomed to him, and being able to choose classes safely is the biggest bug in his vacation.
After finding a professor to explain the situation, Natsume Naoki finally completed the remediation three days before the start of classes.
"It's over!" Naoki Natsume stretched his waist and walked out of the teaching building, "I was worried about a holiday, and I finally chose the class of "High Mathematics III". ”
He stood on the high steps overlooking the bright campus in spring, and whispered: "I don't know where senior sister is now, go say hello." ”
The campus is still lively, it seems that the orientation party to welcome new students has ended, and the square is full of clubs recruiting new students.
Waseda University has more than 2,600 clubs covering more than 100 fields, making it the largest university in Japan.
So the admission will last for a few days, and even then any open space in the school that is the size of a palm will be crowded.
Naoki Natsume saw a large group of boys at the edge of the plaza near the auditorium, and there happened to be familiar faces inside.
"Long time no see, Hayato-kun." He walked over to say hello.
The boy he called Hayato is particularly prominent in this group of science and engineering men who gather to see girls.
He has a strong and tall figure, like Sakuragi Hanamichi, even the hairstyle is the same, a body of muscles is angular under the shirt, a classic basketball court forward physique, and the short head with this figure makes the whole person more imposing.
It's a pity that he didn't dye his hair red because he had to work regularly, otherwise few convenience stores would use him.
Kitahara Hayato, who is a high school alumnus with Naoki Natsume, once became familiar with Naoki because of a pair of crutches, and was Naoki's best same-sex friend in college.
There are many factions of male students in the science and engineering department of the university: those who are flexible but not sociable, or those who are mediocre and not good at dressing up, usually just study with their heads down, and do not fall behind in every class, and their grades are naturally good, but there are only a handful of people they know in four years.
And like Kitahara Hayato, he has a very cheerful personality and likes to play ball and sports. When you play with him on the court, you may be greeted by someone passing by, and you will look at him in amazement and wonder how he knows everyone or how they met, and so on.
Kitahara Hayato raised his head and looked at Naoki Natsume, the voice was too familiar to him, but Natsume's appearance made him stunned.
Ooh! Good sunny and chic broken hair!
Kitahara Hayato admired in his heart.
In addition, Asai Mao added more heroism to the clothes picked by Naoki Natsume, and standing in this group of boys in plaid shirts is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
"Yo, Naoki!" After realizing that it was Naoki Natsume, Hayato Kitahara stood up and hugged him very familiarly, grinning, "Finally willing to change your hairstyle?" ”
As he spoke, Kitahara Hayato pulled Naoki Natsume into the shade of the tree, leaning against the corner and looking at the new students and the members of the community who were shouting hard under the sun in the square.
"Coming to flirt with my sister?"
"I came to choose a class, but I didn't choose it during the holidays."
"How many subjects will you study this semester?"
"It's full, it's only half the sky a week."
"It's so hard...... Do you still have time to collect your so-called materials? ”
"Almost, when you are inspired on the road, take out your notebook and write two sentences, game copywriting is something that can't be rushed, and you have to polish it carefully."
The people next to him saw that Hayato Kitahara and Naoki Natsume were so familiar, and they began to be curious.
Why haven't you seen him before?
So someone looked at Natsume and whispered to Hayato Kitahara, "From our school?" ”
"Natsume! Naoki Natsume, Department of Information Science and Engineering. I remember that you also took Professor Oto's Calculus and Professor Saito's Thread Generations last winter? Then you should have been in class together. Kitahara Hayato thought for a moment and said, "Classmate should be a little impressed, right?" Naoki never misses class. ”
Hearing Kitahara Hayato say this, the man thought for a moment, and then showed the standard Japanese expression of surprise - staring, mouth slightly open but lips tightened into an "O" shape, pointing at Naoki Natsume and nodding.
"Oh it's you! I'm sorry I didn't recognize it, but I'm Yamada, and I've seen it in class. Yamada scratched his head a little embarrassed, but he really tried to remember to connect the sunny and handsome Natsume Naoki in front of him with the withdrawn weirdo in the past.
"Naoki Natsume, if you can still have a class this year, please advise." Natsume Naoki smiled kindly.
"It's really strange that you don't work but come to school when you don't have classes." Naoki Natsume chatted with Hayato Kitahara, "This doesn't look like you. ”
Kitahara Hayato showed an expression that you don't understand: "What day is today?" ”
"New students have started," Naoki Natsume replied, quietly searching the entire square with his gaze, "It's also the day when the club recruits new students...... But as far as I know, your basketball club is not accepting new ones today, so you can find a place to work instead of using it...... You workaholic. ”
Isn't the sports club here to recruit new ones?
Naoki Natsume searched around but didn't find what he was looking for, so he thought quietly in his heart.
I met at the school gate just now, but I couldn't say hello properly, which is a bit of a pity.
"That's right! Today is the beginning of the school year for new students," Hayato Kitahara looked solemn: "And it's the first day!" It was the first day this group of freshmen entered Waseda! It was also the first day we could cross paths with them! ”
The boys from the engineering department who knew him around listened to Hayato Kitahara's words, and they all cheered up.
Naoki Natsume felt the atmosphere that seemed to be burning, and said helplessly: "So you can get the contact information of the school girl as soon as possible?" ”
This guy's brain is so easy to understand, and his straightforward personality can't hide his thoughts.
"Isn't that a matter of course!"
Kitahara Hayato clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "There are only so many girls in the Engineering Department, and the ratio of men to women is almost sixty to one!" Last year, the seniors seized the opportunity on the first day and abducted them on the grounds of taking the students to report, apply for student IDs, and recognize the library of the teaching building...... We can't afford to lose to the juniors and seniors who tricked us into wearing plaid shirts this year! ”
"That's it!"
The companions next to him chimed in.
Naoki Natsume raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he saw that the boys around him were still wearing plaid shirts.
So he asked Kitahara: "Since you're here to talk to the younger sister, why don't you dress handsome?" The plaid shirt is a scam. ”
Kitahara scratched his head and smiled: "Last year, those damn seniors were also wearing plaid shirts and we were fooled, isn't this ...... If we don't lead by example and don't be convincing, this year's bunnies won't be easy to fool. ”
Naoki Natsume sighed, sure enough, the sad tradition of the engineering department would continue.
Although they are not distinctive in their clothing, Kitahara still has the unique advantage of being a senior-that is, they are familiar with the school.
Besides, good-looking clothes can also be kept as a hindrance.
Think about if you are a girl who has just entered the school to attend the orientation ceremony and is ready to visit the campus and apply for a student ID, but the volunteers are short on staff and only give you a map.
And just when you are excited and confused, a classy senior appears in front of you, willing to take you around the campus, and is ready to take you to the best café in the school for a drink at noon.
After you exchanged contact information, the next time the senior appeared in front of you, he had already changed into a handsome outfit......
"I already feel like I can get off the list today!" The Yamada just now said with a fighting spirit in his eyes!
Naoki Natsume listened to their impassioned words, and then looked at the group of people leaning against the shade of the inconspicuous tree, and felt a little ...... violations.
It seems that it is just a lot of verbal momentum, but it lacks the passion for action?
"Then why are you still squatting here?" He asked Kitahara, "Shouldn't you go to the school girls to see the way in the big sun now?" ”
Kitahara Hayato sighed heavily, trying to explain something several times, but didn't know where to speak.
"Here they come, here they are!"
At this moment, the companions pointed to a handful of girls in the square and shouted, their expressions a little sad and indignant.
Kitahara Hayato raised his chin at the group of girls over there and signaled, "See for yourself, it's that girl." ”
"Damn! I'm a freshman, but I seem to know everything! The boys around him clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.
Hayato Kitahara explained: "The girl knows everything about the layout of the school and the procedures for new students to go through various documents, and she is very chic and has a neat neutral beauty. Tell me what those juniors would choose between this kind of peer and the seniors in plaid shirts? ”
Naoki Natsume replied without thinking, "If it were me, I would follow her." There is no need for volunteers and no need for dedicated seniors, peers and topics. ”
I see, did they encounter a difficult opponent in the northern plains?
Now this world is outrageous, men must not only beware of love rivals, but also beware of beautiful sisters.
After all, beautiful sisters love both men and women.
It seems to be a girl with a very high rank.。
After that, he followed the resentful gaze of everyone, intending to see what the guy who began to exude personality charm on the first day and was ready to bend the rare species of the Ministry of Engineering looked like.
But in the next second, Naoki Natsume was stunned.
The girl who wore a plaid shirt with a sassy feeling and was held by the stars with a backpack on one shoulder, isn't it Mao Asai?!
"Asui?" Naoki Natsume subconsciously called out his name softly.
"You know?!"
The soft words exploded in this group of frustrated people, and everyone looked at Naoki Natsume one after another, and hope was rekindled in their eyes!
