A decadent life redeemed by a cat reminds Naoki Natsume of "Bob the Stray Cat".

The movie is based on true events, the real Bob died in 2020 after redeeming James, Natsume Naoki looked at this combination of man and cat, and understood that there were thousands of James and Bob in the world.

At this moment, a drop of rain fell from the sky, and everyone looked up at the sky, only Naoki Natsume raised his hand and looked at the droplets that fell on the back of his hand.

The street artists on the gravel ground began to pack their belongings, and the drummers were the most anxious.

The orange cat lying on the shoulder of the wandering singer is very uneasy, the cat does not like water, and if the hair is wet and cannot be dried in time, it is likely to get dermatitis.

The wandering singer's face changed, he didn't have an umbrella at home, he wouldn't come out to sing on a rainy day, and the weather forecast he read was obviously a good weather.

He lifted his clothes and tucked the orange cat into his arms, then crouched down to clean up the bowl with coins and guitar set on the floor.

"Here's for you."

A transparent white umbrella was handed to him.

He was stunned, and when he looked up, Naoki Natsume handed over the umbrella in his hand with a smile on his face.

The girl standing next to him was silent, but very tacitly opened the umbrella in her hand and sheltered him from the rain.

"This ...... This umbrella is expensive, right? ”

"Six hundred."

"Then if you take this back, I need an umbrella to suffice."

The wandering singer wanted to return the thousand-yen bill to Naoki Natsume, but he refused with a smile.

"There is no reason to get the money back."

Asai helped Natsume with an umbrella, and he waved at the wandering singer, "I hope I can hear you sing again in other places next time...... For example, in a bar or something, how about going to be a resident and ending wandering? ”

The wandering singer did not answer, no one's future can be decided in one sentence, and his future path is full of unknowns.

Naoki Natsume didn't have to hear the answer, but he was polite, and he looked at the orange cat lying in the arms of the wandering singer with its head sticking out of the neckline, and waved his hand.

"I hope to see you again in the future, little teacher."

"Meow!"

The cat barked at him and shrank back.

When it rains in the park, there are no tourists.

Within a few minutes, only Natsume and Asai were still strolling around the entire Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, holding the same umbrella.

If this scene had been a few years earlier, when they were still junior high school students, they would have been seen by their classmates and would have drawn an umbrella.

Umbrella (あいあいがさ), draw a simple umbrella with chalk on the blackboard, the triangle and a vertical line is the simplest umbrella stick figure, and the name of the little couple is written on the left and right sides of the umbrella handle.

In Japanese folk, the umbrella is the meaning of two people tying the knot, and it is mostly used for ignorant love in the student days, of course, the parties must be ashamed to speak, so in the anime, it is generally painted and played when classmates are coaxing.

It is a very romantic thing to walk home with a lonely man and a widow holding an umbrella on a rainy day.

So Mao Asai didn't speak all the way.

Naoki Natsume didn't realize this, and just whispered, "It's always raining in the Garden of Words. ”

When they got home, the two of them were still a little wet.

Naoki Natsume got his shoes wet, the shoes he wore when he went out were a little thin, and he occasionally encountered places with a lot of water on the road, even if he was careful, he would inevitably get wet.

And Asai Mao is half of his shoulders wet, and the umbrella can't cover the two of them, or both of them get a little wet...... Or maybe it's a little wetter alone.

She opted for the latter, but fortunately the top was dark so it wasn't too noticeable.

She didn't say anything, glad in her heart that Naoki Natsume didn't see it, and silently prepared to go upstairs to change clothes.

While passing by the bathroom, Naoki Natsume came out barefoot, wiping her hair with a towel with one hand, and taking out Asai's towel with the other and gently covering her head.

"I'm sorry."

"About what."

Asai tilted his head sideways and looked up at him.

Standing in front of me, I realized that he was so tall.

"Next time, I'll take an umbrella."

Naoki Natsume stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Asai's shoulder, feeling the wet touch, and then pinched her clothes with his thumb and forefinger and tugged at it, otherwise it would be uncomfortable to crumple against his skin.

"It's okay, there's only an umbrella, it's better than the two of you get wet, and the clothes should be washed anyway."

"I didn't want to see them get wet, so I gave them umbrellas." Naoki Natsume said as he dried his hair.

Asai was silent for a moment and replied, "That's not your fault. ”

Although Natsume didn't say it, he thought that it should be his bad luck that caused the rain......

Although it is an exaggeration to think so, I think that my luck can affect the weather. But luck itself is a metaphysics, let alone luck 3, even if there is a dark cloud that only follows his head.

He saw that Asai was carrying a gift pillow from IKEA in one hand and a swimsuit bought by two people in the other, and it was inconvenient for him to wipe his hair, so he turned around and threw the towel in his hand on the washstand in the bathroom, and then took the towel from her head and helped her wipe the green silk scattered behind her.

Usually Asai will tie the braid and wear a maid's headdress on his head, but today he doesn't go out, the green silk hangs behind him like a waterfall, very beautiful, like a beautiful demon who attracts scholars to read without intention.

Obviously she was born so beautiful, but she was covered up by that heavy maid outfit all day long, and she herself was very stubborn, and she had to wear work clothes as long as she was working.

Asai entered the living room and put the bags with swimsuits on the sofa, and Naoki Natsume tacitly handed her the towel.

This scene is not so smooth even for the young couple who live together, but the master and servant who are just tied together by a paper contract are so harmonious.

"Shall I change my clothes, eat first, or set up the furniture first?" Asai asked.

Naoki Natsume looked at the perpetual calendar hanging on the wall, "It should be too late to eat, just now IKEA called me to ask if I could come early to deliver, the weather is not very good, they are afraid that the rain will affect the loading and unloading." After I entered the door, I told them that I could come and deliver it, there were people at home, calculate the time, and the car should be almost in Tsurumaki Town. ”

Asai nodded and went up to change his clothes.

Within twenty minutes, there was a knock on the door, and Asai was moving the bookcase in her study with Natsume to her original small utility room.

From then on, the study on the second floor was Asai's bedroom, next door to Natsume's bedroom, and the small utility room became his new study.

"Will this affect your studies?" Asai stood in the hallway, supervising the workers to carry the bed into the new bedroom, and asked Naoki Natsume, who was standing next to him, "You're going to take out the first version of the game at the school festival, right?" Usually you type code in the study, don't affect your process. ”

"Hmm...... It's okay," Natsume Naoki thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm going to apply for a small club so that I can have a classroom in the school as an activity room." I moved all the notebooks over, and I could type them there in the future, which is close to the library, so it is easier to check the materials. ”

"You need four members and an instructor to apply for the club." Asai Mao is very familiar with these rules in the school: "Let's not talk about the instructor, can you get the four candidates?" ”
