"His hometown is in Hokkaido, he was born and raised in Hokkaido, so of course my hometown is also in Hokkaido."

"Of course, I don't know what happened when he was born, but I heard from my parents later. Our two families are neighbors and have a good relationship, and our family was helping when Aunt Natsume was giving birth, when my mother was just pregnant with me. ”

"It is said that he didn't cry when he was born, and the nurse was very scared, and after patting him, she found that her limbs could move, but she just didn't cry."

It was too long ago for anyone to remember the details, and the nurse said that at the time she thought Natsume, who was still a baby, was trying to open her eyes...... The adults didn't believe it, and they all thought that she was in a hurry, dazzled, or misremembered because the baby didn't cry, until he cried and was put in the incubator without opening his eyes. My mom said it, and I remember her very well. ”

"But let me say that no matter what is outrageous about him, I believe it."

Izumi Mio suddenly noticed that Asai Masao's expression became serious, and the reason why she was able to observe this was because Asai had a calm and light appearance before, and the slightest change in facial expression would be very obvious.

She continued: "Later, I was born in that hospital, and when I grew up, my eyes were full of his back. ”

"When my mom said I couldn't walk, he would come to my house every day and lie down next to the stroller to watch, even though he wasn't as tall as the stroller, but he had learned to step on the bench and play with me."

"He would ask my name and whisper over and over again next to the stroller, 'Mao's growing up,' but unfortunately I couldn't remember."

"When I got older, I would run away, and he would take me from one end of the alley to the other, pointing me to the tree, the wall, and the car...... Strange to say, my mentor was actually the brother next door who was only two years older than me. He even taught me how to do math at the time, and he also read バナナ in English when he said bananas...... But at that time, we were not even old enough to go to kindergarten. ”

In kindergarten, he began to show a side that far surpassed his peers, and when others were fighting over toys, he began to be the king of children and established a set of anti-bullying order...... At that time, he was the strongest kid in the whole area, and no one dared to mess with him. He would give the snacks from the teacher to the children who listened to the teacher; He would warn the bullying kids to beat them up and make them cry. ”

He would tell the teacher that he would work hard, let the teacher rest more, and he would take the initiative to kiss the teacher, and then beg the teacher to take a nap...... I also pick on big breasts, and I don't know if it's been ...... since I was a child Of course, no matter how many children he met in kindergarten, I was still the one who ate the most snacks, and he would run to my class between classes, call me out, and secretly stuff me with candy. ”

Asai Mao spoke very slowly and in a very gentle tone, as if he was telling a story from a fairy tale book, and when it came to eating candy, he would take it lightly, as if he was lamenting the ignorance at that time, which made Mio Izumi, who listened to the first point of view, also fall into it.

These things come out of her mouth so naturally, but Naoki Natsume, the protagonist of the story, knows nothing about it.

"Almost every girl likes him, and when she plays with him, she rushes to be a bride...... It's ridiculous, that's going to be the best robbery I've ever had. In order not to make other children cry, he would say that there can be many brides, and as a man, he must marry all the girls he likes...... I still remember how serious he was that day. ”

"Unfortunately, in the end, the little girl cried, because he refused to kiss the little girl, and only accepted the kiss from the female teacher, saying that the child's kiss was like a candle on a dinner plate in his eyes."

"It's not just little girls of the same age who like him, but the teachers also like him, because he has a very sweet mouth and knows how to coax people, and he prefers to pester teachers rather than play with little girls. Sure enough, a man's mouth is born to coax women, and he is the best example of this. ”

"He would run to comfort the teacher when he had a cold war with his boyfriend, and the teacher would hold him and count down his boyfriend's wrong, and then complain that his boyfriend had a wooden head and couldn't guess what she wanted."

"At this time, he will say, 'The children in the class want to pee but hold back and don't say anything, and the teacher will have a headache, right?' Teachers should say love, not let people guess. I really don't understand where he learned those love theories, it's just a live-action version of Crayon Xiaoxin. ”

Mio Izumi thought to herself while listening to the story, is this really what that Natsume-kun would say?

He seems to ...... Isn't that the kind of character who will take the initiative to flirt with girls?

But Naoki Natsume in Asai's mouth is alive and well with a little slippery head that everyone loves, and he really looks like a big ghost in the wilderness Shinno's helper.

"And then?" Seeing that Asai didn't say anything, Mio Izumi asked subconsciously.

"Later, I went to elementary school and moved, and before I left, the two of us had a fight and had a breakdown." Asai suddenly ended his memories coldly.

Mio Izumi was stunned, obviously not expecting the story to end like this, as if Asai hastily made up a reason to end the topic.

Before she could say anything, Mao Asai had already gotten up and was ready to leave.

"Well, I have one last question I want to ask!"

Mio Izumi forcibly broke free from Natsume's story when he was a child, and said quickly.

Asai stood up, carrying his bag, and looked at her half-headed, waiting for her to ask.

"Asai-san, do you know where Natsume-kun's home is?" Mio Izumi tried to make her tone calmer: "If he lives too far away, I will reduce the training time in the evening and leave enough time for him to go home and take the car." ”

Asai Mao squinted slightly, she knew very well that Mio Izumi knew where Naoki Natsume lived, and she had been there, so she also washed her clothes again.

So this kind of topic has to be answered with caution.

"I'm sorry I didn't know, but the two of us just recognized each other at school, and the relationship wasn't good enough to invite each other to our home." She was silent for a while, "After all, what I just told you about is just me and him in the past, and it is very different from me and him now, so there is no need to use it as a reference for our relationship...... He must have forgotten these little things a long time ago. ”

"I see." Mio Izumi bowed slightly: "I took it for granted...... Sorry to bother you for so long, I hope it didn't delay your business. ”

Asai said goodbye and left, while Mio Izumi was immersed in the last question between the two of them.

Natsume-kun lives alone, she knows it very well.

Asai said he didn't have a girlfriend and never went to his house himself.

But the hair on the couch that day showed that Asai was lying at least one sentence.

So what is that sentence exactly?

Maybe...... It's impossible to say that all of them are lies, such as the childhood story that is completely opposite to Natsume-kun's personality today.

Mio Izumi was still recalling the story that seemed to be true and false just now, when the clerk came over and interrupted her thoughts.

"Hello classmate, I calculated that you are the 500th guest since the opening, and the boss has explained that he will prepare a small surprise for the whole hundreds of guests, so I will give you a cup of coffee, if you don't want to drink it now, you can exchange it for a lottery ticket to use next time."

Mio Izumi was slightly stunned, then looked at the caramel coffee on the menu with some hesitation.

In the end, she shook her head: "Let's exchange it for a lottery ticket, maybe I will come with other friends in the future." ”

I have been taboo for a long time, I can't be greedy for temporary enjoyment, and I don't control my diet, which is a big taboo for sports students.

She still has a lot of games to participate in in the next month, and she doesn't even have much time to come to school, so she can't drop the chain at a critical time.

But......

Why did Natsume-kun subconsciously take a sip of the cup of caramel milk tea he bought after school yesterday evening?

And the first reaction in my mind just now was that the lottery ticket could be kept for the next time I came with Natsume-kun.

Maybe it's because Natsume-kun has a charm that he can't refuse, Mio Izumi thought to herself.

I don't know if I have a chance to take a walk with Natsume-kun when I get out of school today......

Yesterday it seemed that it was because he had a question to ask, and he arrived at the station while chatting.

Mio Izumi thought about whether to find a topic for herself, mention it when you want to separate from school at night, and then accompany Natsume-kun to his house for a while, and buy some of his favorite desserts on the way, as if it was yesterday's favor.

Let Natsume-kun familiarize himself with the feeling of being alone with two people outside of school, and find an excuse to ask Natsume-kun out on weekends in the future, it won't make him feel abrupt, right?

Mio Izumi felt that his plan was perfect, but he didn't know if he would agree to meet Natsume-kun on the weekend in the future.

No matter how brave a girl is, when she encounters a crush, she will retreat in her heart.

What's more, through today's conversation, Mio Izumi's threat to Asai has increased instead of decreasing, and she can't tell which of Asai Mao's words is false.

"Perhaps...... One more serious competitor. Mio Izumi had a sense of crisis.

It's just that she didn't expect that when she and Natsume-kun's childhood sweetheart were still pulling to confirm the threat level, the home had been stolen by a gorgeous little Lori.
