Chapter 184: It's Senior Sister Time! (a)
The venue of the sports club is on the largest square in Waseda, which is the place where the club recruits new students during the school season.
The further you go inside, the more extreme the distribution of tourists, for example, the roads near the main square are almost overcrowded, but the tree-lined paths that only students know about are almost uncrowded.
Maybe it's because of the excitement of the heart, or maybe it's because of the personality that doesn't like to be lively, Natsume Naoki chooses the kind of path with fewer people on every road, and perfectly misses the encounter with the little rich woman.
"Let's take a look at the raffle...... How about trying your luck? ”
Naoki Natsume passed by a booth where he was lucky and divination, and for some reason stopped, as if something was attracting him in the dark.
When the stall owner saw that someone was visiting, he immediately became interested: "Is it an alumnus or a tourist?" ”
There is no doubt that the students who can set up a stall in the school must be the students of Waseda.
Naoki Natsume looked at the stall owner, a boy who was not very familiar, and it was right to think about it, it was impossible for everyone to see it in a huge school.
"It's an alumnus, a sophomore." Naoki Natsume was about to ask something, when he heard the girls next to him talking with a little disappointment.
"Could it be cheating?" A girl said.
"I don't know...... Mingminglian ......"
"It seems that the senior sister is also absent-minded, and there is something on her mind that causes her to be in a bad state?"
"That's a pity, obviously she wants ...... too"
Naoki Natsume pricked up his ears and listened carefully, but the girls had already walked away, and they had only listened to some of the key information in the conversation.
Seems to be saying that there is something wrong with this stall?
The stall owner smiled and quickly explained: "I'm a junior student, and I belong to the divination club, so I'll call you a junior!" Don't be misled, don't be misled, you can't touch the common feelings of the award, and not everyone is so lucky that everything goes well. ”
Naoki Natsume thought about it, is there really no such person?
Senior sister should be regarded as the lucky one who was taken care of, right?
"What do seniors sell at their stalls? Do you spend money on divination? Naoki Natsume shook his head, leaving the rest of his mind behind and looking at the stall owner.
It's strange, although I want to go to my senior sister in a hurry, Naoki Natsume subconsciously feels that if she leaves, she may regret it.
Or if you continue to stay here, maybe something lucky will happen.
"Tarot card divination, or drawing prizes." The stall owner pointed to the stall, where two student desks were put together and covered with a dark red tablecloth, with crystal balls, quills and other things that added to the atmosphere.
At first glance, it really looks like that, plus the stall owner deliberately wore a robe and a mage hat today, if those little couples among the tourists walked around here, the stall owner pouted two sentences to test marriage and so on, it is estimated that many people will be tricked.
Looking at the tarot cards that had already been used, Naoki Natsume guessed that this trick should have been used not long ago.
"What's the price?" Naoki Natsume asked.
The stall owner stretched out the five fingers of one hand: "Since you are an alumnus, let's be cheaper, five hundred yen once, divination and touching the prize are the same." ”
Naoki Natsume has no interest in tarot cards, and he subconsciously feels that fate should be in his own hands.
If Asai heard this, he would definitely fall silent, and his heart would be filled with emotion.
Because Natsume Naoki often put this sentence on his lips when he was a child.
This also confirms from the side that he is always him, even if he forgets something, but the subconscious things are still affecting him.
It's like the average person doesn't have memories of before the age of three, but the baby at the age of three is the same person as himself, no matter how old he is.
In Natsume's case, it's just that this age has been delayed a bit, becoming eight years old.
But in the same way, even if he has amnesia, his underlying personality, cognition, and even his mental nature will affect his later life.
"Touch the prize, I'm not interested in divination." Naoki Natsume took out five hundred yen from his wallet and handed it to the stall owner, who happily accepted it and took out an opaque box from under the table.
"Inside is a folded lottery ticket, one for the first, second and third prizes, thank you for patronizing a few." The stall owner smiled: "It's time to be lucky enough to be admitted to graduate school." ”
Naoki Natsume shook the box slightly, and he could hear the slight sound of the papers inside shaking on top of each other, indicating that there were a lot of notes.
"Where's the prize?" Natsume Naoki sensed that something was wrong, only three of so many lottery tickets were prizes, and in terms of probability, how valuable prizes could be balanced?
A book of Wanli, worthy of being an experienced senior, knows what to do at the campus festival to make the most money.
Naoki Natsume has some sympathy for those elementary school girls, crepes are sold so cheaply, the craftsmanship is so good, and the smile is also very sweet, occasionally when he is hungry, he will squat under the stall to steal food, and when he stands up again, the corners of his mouth are a little bit white, and then he is a little dizzy because of standing for a long time, his eyes are blurred, and he takes two breaths......
In comparison, what senior's booth is simply unsightly.
"The first prize is this," the stall owner pointed to the bicycle parked next to the stall, "very valuable." ”
Naoki Natsume raised his eyebrows, he noticed the bicycle at the beginning, and thought it was the senior's transportation, but he didn't expect it to be a prize.
Well, this looks good.
"The second prize is a brand-new suitcase, five or six thousand yen." The stall owner picked up the suitcase hidden under the table and showed it to Naoki Natsume.
"As for the third prize, it's this ......," the stall owner lifted the small blanket that had been covering the table.
Naoki Natsume was stunned, he really didn't expect the third prize to be this.
Compared to a bicycle and a suitcase, maybe ...... This thing Senpai will like?
As for why it's Senpai and not the other girls, Naoki Natsume naturally understands.
Then Naoki Natsume's goal is very clear.
But he didn't think he had the luck.
After all, touching the prize here itself seems very abnormal to him, and he thought that he would meet someone if he stood here for a while, so he felt this way in his heart.
But until he took out the lottery ticket and opened it, he didn't wait for any acquaintance to talk to him.
It was the words on the lottery ticket that made Naoki Natsume stunned.
I've always had bad luck, I've been used to it for ten years, why ......
The stall owner watched Naoki Natsume go away, and of course, the third prize was taken away.
He scratched his head, crossed his fingers, and calculated whether he had lost or earned from setting up the stall in the morning until now.
The third prize is actually more expensive than the suitcase, and the reason why it is set as the third prize is because he thinks that compared to the suitcase, there are not too many people who like that thing, after all, the suitcase still has practical value, isn't it?
"Thirteen people have already touched the prize, and eight have divined...... It's still earned. The stall owner breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thanks to the group of girls just now, shouting for the third prize, each of them contributed a thousand yen, and in the end they were not convinced, and called a very beautiful girl to help, saying that Sister Izumi will definitely be able to do it......"
The stall owner scratched his head: "Izumi? How does this name sound familiar? ”
But the girl who had high hopes still failed, and she touched it four times to thank her for her patronage, and then she seemed to have other things to do, and she was in a hurry, and left first.
After less than five minutes, the boy who was so lucky just now came to take away the third prize.
Naoki Natsume didn't know that there was a senior sister involved before this episode, so he didn't know that Mio Izumi was only five minutes earlier than him.
But he still saw some clues from the sweat on Mio Izumi's forehead.
"Hello senior sister."
Naoki Natsume greeted Mio Izumi, who was looking around, and Mio Izumi was frightened like a rabbit, and after seeing that it was Naoki Natsume, he showed a happy expression.
"Natsume-kun!"
"I'm sorry to be late, didn't you delay anything?" Naoki Natsume looked around, and everyone in the sports club was busy in a nervous and orderly manner.
The tents were set up one after another, like a string of mushrooms.
Several stoves are crowded with busy members, who are cooking all kinds of food for visitors.
For example, fried instant noodles, takokuba balls, taiyaki and the like, as well as simple milk tea machines, Naoki Natsume has to sigh at the ability of human beings...... How did you get all these things and move them into school?
"I already said it when I discussed it with Vice Minister Kashima," Mio Izumi shook her head with a smile, "It's not mandatory for club members to participate, just enjoy it if you want to wander around, but the campus festival belongs to each of us." For those who want to use the club facilities, we can help as much as possible. ”
Looking at the smiling face of the senior sister, Naoki Natsume felt as if there was a breeze in his ears, which was very comfortable and cool.
"Senior sister is really empathetic." Naoki Natsume looked into the eyes of his senior sister and said sincerely.
"No, it's not that ......" Mio Izumi was a little shy by Natsume Naoki, don't look over, and her voice was much quieter.
The sweat on the senior sister's forehead made Naoki Natsume's heart tickle...... Did Senior Sister exercise vigorously just now? The fine sweat on the forehead sticks to the hair, it must be very uncomfortable, right?
So subconsciously, he stepped forward, gently rubbed the sweat off the senior sister's forehead with the thick flesh of his palm, and brushed the green silk she stuck to her head behind her ears.
"It's so much better." Naoki Natsume nodded to himself, not noticing that in a state of shock, Senpai's cheeks were turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Many people around saw this scene, and such an intimate act made the eyes of everyone present widen.
Everyone thought about what Mio Izumi said when he refused to confess to a Kyoto University student at an izakaya in Kyoto...... After all, there were many people in the sports club at that time, and almost all of the school team were from the sports club.
Yingjing is still watching the excitement, and it's not a big deal to stretch his head.
Kashima Heiji glanced at him, put his arms around his neck and pulled him back, "Don't look at what you shouldn't see...... Let those who watch the drama hurry up to work, if the gas burns, it is possible for the sports club to be disbanded on the spot tomorrow. ”
"Do you hear that? Hurry back to work, don't look at it, don't look at it. Takai took great pains to "reprimand" his companions, but he did not move his nest.
"Say they didn't say you're not? You're the ...... the most prickly."
Naoki Natsume is not deaf either, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that his actions in front of everyone were too intimate...... I promised my senior sister to pretend to be unfamiliar!
"I'm sorry senior, I ...... subconsciously"
"It's okay, it's already ...... Don't keep that promise anymore. Mio Izumi was still blushing, and her voice was small.
Anyway, I was already in Kyoto in front of everyone, and I told the fact that I had someone I liked.
Right now......
I'm afraid that if you want to hide it, you just want to cover it up, right?
Thinking that he and Natsume-kun already had this kind of relationship in the eyes of everyone in the sports club, Mio Izumi felt a little shy and frightened...... Natsume-kun hasn't agreed yet, and it wouldn't be good if the rumors made Natsume-kun embarrassed.
However, there is still a little bit of joy in my heart.
I believe that everyone who has had a crush on someone else in school has felt this way, and they are afraid that their crush will be known to everyone, but they will also be happy because they have an affair with their crush, and they will be happy and apprehensive.
Seeing that everyone gave up the space with great interest, Mio Izumi simply didn't pretend.
"The sweat is dirty." Mio Izumi's small hand gently grasped Naoki's hand where Naoki was wiping sweat, and then pulled his hand into the sink next to the stove, rinsing it slowly, and gently rubbing the sweat stains on his palm.
"Is it dirty?" Naoki Natsume subconsciously retorted, he didn't realize that the corners of his mouth were almost behind his ears at the moment.
was held by the little sister to help wash his hands......
Mio Izumi glanced at Naoki Natsume's face with her spare eyes, and after sensing his feelings, her face was also hot.
"How is it not dirty? ...... of Sticky Lake Ok ok! Mio Izumi stopped the conversation and pulled a tissue to dry his hands.
Naoki Natsume scratched his head, didn't he really feel dirty...... Maybe that's the charm of liking!
I can help my favorite girl wipe the sweat off her forehead, and I really didn't think there was anything wrong with my first thought.
In addition, the girl she likes is willing to help her wash her hands and wipe it out, Naoki Natsume feels that happiness is nothing more than that.
The slender fingers of the senior sister are white and immature but powerful, but there are still some calluses on the palms and the ends of the knuckles.
Naoki Natsume thought to herself that her senior sister should not practice javelin shot put, so why do she have calluses in her palms?
Probably sensing that Natsume-kun's attention was on his palm, Mio Izumi hurriedly withdrew his hand and clenched it into a small fist and secretly hid it behind him.
"It's ...... Practice what stays. Senior sister hesitated.
"Senior sister shouldn't have a project in this area, right?"
"It's a dojo near my home, and I practiced some swordsmanship when I was a child...... I originally wanted to go that way, but later I found that I was more talented in sports. ”
Naoki Natsume suddenly realized that the senior sister has a talent for sports since she was a child.
"The wound on the senior sister's hand ......"
Naoki Natsume was scrubbing with Mio Izumi just now when he was holding his hand, and he noticed that there was a heartache on his senpai's hand, which seemed to be burned.
Mio Izumi holds the wrist of her left hand with her right hand, where there is a small scar.
"Not very lucky." Mio Izumi lowered her eyebrows.
This is the practice of cooking for him when being splashed with oil, novices who have never cooked are prone to make this mistake, when hot oil or vegetables with a lot of water content, if the pot is very hot, it will make a loud noise accompanied by oil and water splashing!
Novices with no cooking experience are easy to suffer a dark loss, and Izumi Mio suffered this loss, and the scalding was not light, leaving a shallow scar.
But she doesn't regret it at all, because she's learned!
Even if you are injured and pay a little price, as long as it is for Natsume-kun, everything is worth it!
All of this originated from the fact that in the cafeteria that day, Mio Izumi asked Natsume what he liked to eat, and Naoki Natsume casually said a sentence of hot dry noodles and Yangzhou fried rice.
"By the way, did Natsume-kun eat in the morning?" Mio Izumi plucked up her courage and pointed to the stove next to her, "If you're hungry, I'll make you something!" ”
Naoki Natsume subconsciously wanted to say no, and brought a bento himself.
But when I touched my back, I was stunned.
The backpack was taken away by Asai!
Thinking of the vicious sentence starving you to death before Asai left, Naoki Natsume was worried...... Will she get angry and take revenge on herself for eating all the lunches?
Quite possibly!
"Please!" Naoki Natsume folded his hands and bowed his head: "That's the best, senior sister, you're really helpful...... Be sure to give me a taste of your craft! ”
