Natsume Takashi's Youth Love Song

Natsume, who was sitting on the side to rest, stood up quickly after hearing Sayuri's words, saying that it would be better to leave the cooking to him.

"Hey, Natsume, don't be polite to me."

Sayuri looked at Natsume's polite look and revealed a trace of helplessness, "Besides, you and Reiko have worked so hard today, so if you want to cook, just leave it to me."

"Then I'll help you prepare the ingredients first."

Even though Sayuri said this, Natsume still felt that he should do some simple things. If he left everything to Sayuri, he would feel a little guilty.

"Ok."

Looking at Natsume's expression, Sayuri nodded helplessly. In her opinion, Natsume was just a little too polite.

We are already such good friends, why is there any need to be so polite?

"But... this can be considered as a kind of tenderness that belongs only to Natsume, right?"

Sayuri looked at Natsume who was preparing the food nearby and this thought flashed through her mind.

"Sayuri..."

Lingzi looked at Sayuri, who had a smile on her face, and realized something in her heart, "Sayuri, she..."

Afterwards, Sayuri started cooking and Natsume assisted her.

After dinner, Natsume saw Sayuri off to the car and watched her drive away.

After watching Sayuri leave, Natsume turned around and went back.

"I am back."

Natsume spoke up immediately after returning home.

"Oh, you're back, Natsume. Did you send Sayuri to the car?"

Reiko, who had already washed up, asked after seeing Natsume.

"Well, I watched her get into her family's car."

Natsume nodded.

I was preparing some clean clothes in my hands and planning to wash up. After all, I was really tired today.

And he has to go to school tomorrow, so he plans to go to bed early.

"That's good."

After hearing this, Lingzi felt relieved.

Then, he thought of something and became interested, so he looked at Natsume.

"Hey Natsume, what kind of house do you think I should build?"

"Uh……"

Looking at the excited Reiko, Natsume didn't know what to say for a moment, for fear of offending her.

"Reiko, we are not professional architects after all, so I think it's better to be honest. What do you think?"

Natsume looked at Reiko cautiously, hoping that she would not mess around.

"Like this?"

After hearing what Natsume said, Reiko couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and she also felt that what Natsume said made sense.

"Well, then just build the house honestly."

Although I feel a little disappointed, the thought of having a house of my own is something to be happy about.

So Lingzi quickly put her unhappiness behind her.

"Hu~~"

Seeing Reiko giving up her reckless ideas, Natsume subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, if Lingzi insisted on her own ideas, he really didn't know what to do.

"Oh, I suddenly thought of something."

At this moment, Lingzi suddenly thought of something.

"what happened?"

Natsume looked at Reiko in confusion, wondering what was going on now?

"It's like this, tomorrow is Monday, so I have to continue delivering newspapers, which will conflict with your schedule, Natsume."

Reiko explained.

"Well, that's true."

Natsume nodded. After all, he didn't have to deliver newspapers in the morning. His part-time job was in the evening.

"Well, I'll get up first and make breakfast. After that, I'll go deliver the newspapers. Natsume, you continue to rest and get up at the same time as before. After breakfast, we'll meet at the intersection. How about that?"

Reiko expressed her thoughts.

"This is acceptable."

Natsume nodded, thinking this was a good idea.

"Then it's decided."

Seeing Natsume agree, Reiko showed a bright smile on her face.

"Okay, now there's nothing to do, Natsume, you can go wash up."

Reiko said with a smile.

"Ah."

Natsume nodded and walked towards the bathroom.

After taking a shower, Natsume was ready to rest and looked at Reiko who was still sitting in the living room.

"Good night, Reiko."

"Hey?"

After hearing Natsume's good night, Reiko was stunned for a moment, but then she reacted and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Well, good night, Natsume."

Say goodnight to Natsume.

Then, Natsume and Reiko went back to their rooms to rest.

Another peaceful night.

Chapter 146 Someone is waiting for you at home

The next morning, Reiko woke up to the sound of the alarm clock.

She got up carefully so as not to disturb Natsume, then Reiko began to wash and make breakfast.

Seeing that there were still slices of toast in the refrigerator, Reiko decided to make a sandwich. In addition to the breakfast prepared for herself, she also prepared one for Natsume and placed it on the dining table.

"I'm leaving, Natsume."

Looking at Natsume's closed room, Reiko said softly, then turned and left.

After leaving the house, Reiko saw Madara resting in the courtyard.

"Okay, Madara, don't sleep anymore, it's time to go out and deliver the newspapers."

Reiko yelled at Madara.

"I know, I know."

Madara opened his eyes with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He found that he chose to stay by Reiko's side to restore his strength. Was this a wrong choice?

Otherwise, why would it, with its lazy nature, get up so early? And why would it accompany Lingzi to deliver newspapers?

Doesn't this totally fit with its identity as a great monster?

"What are you muttering about?"

Reiko looked at Madara who was standing there in a daze and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I didn't mutter anything?"

Madara said he would tell everything, and quickly followed Reiko, then changed the subject, "By the way, aren't you going to deliver the newspapers now? If you don't go now, you'll be late?"

"It's over now."

After taking a look at the strange Madara, Reiko finally didn't say much. She nodded and walked towards her part-time job.

An hour later...

When the time came, Natsume's alarm clock rang.

After Natsume got up and washed up, he saw breakfast on the table.

"Sandwich? Did Reiko prepare this for me?"

When Natsume saw the sandwich, a soft expression appeared on his face.

After breakfast, Natsume picked up his and Reiko's schoolbags and walked towards the intersection where he and Reiko had agreed to meet.

crossroads.

When Natsume came over to Reiko, Reiko was already waiting there.

"Natsume, it's too slow."

Reiko looked at Natsume who was walking over and said with a hint of anger.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late."

Natsume said sheepishly.

"Forget it. I don't have time to wait for a few minutes anyway."

Reiko smiled, took the schoolbag from Natsume, and the two of them walked towards the school together.

"Natsume, do you still work at night?"

On the way to school, Reiko looked at Natsume curiously and asked.

"Well, I still work there at night."

Natsume nodded. "The boss was very good to me. He took me in when I had nothing. So even though I don't have to worry about money now, I still plan to continue helping the boss."

"Wait until your senior year?"

Reiko said curiously.

"Ah."

Natsume nodded, "After I reach my third year of high school, I will resign from my job with my boss and concentrate on preparing for the exam."

Natsume, who comes from the future, naturally knows the importance of academic qualifications. Although he has not been to college at that time, if he has the opportunity, Natsume is still willing to go to college.

"University?"

Speaking of college, Lingzi couldn't help but become silent, because she found that she had no plans for the future yet?

"Reiko."

Natsume looked at Reiko with a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

"what happened?"

Reiko turned her head and looked at Natsume.

"Reiko, before this, I know you couldn't think about your future for various reasons, but now, I think you should think about it carefully.

Now you don't have the pressure of housing or food, and the money you earn from part-time jobs can be used to pay for your tuition. Even if you need it, Sawamura and I will help you.

So, I hope you can think about your future, whether it is further study or something else? "

Natsume looked at Reiko and said very seriously.

"The future?"

Reiko listened to Natsume's words and fell silent.
