Chapter 7 Societies
Just as Natsume was thinking about the reason for Ishida Ryugen's injury, Higurashi Kagome in front had already turned around and suggested to Natsume enthusiastically:
"Let's have lunch together, Natsume-kun!"
With that said, Higurashi Kagome raised her lunch box and prepared to take Natsume with her to find a place to eat.
Although Natsume didn't dislike Higurashi Kagome's enthusiastic personality, he didn't like physical contact with unfamiliar people, so he moved his body slightly and quietly avoided Higurashi Kagome hand:
"No, Higurashi-san."
Natsume smiled and shook his head and refused:
"I didn't bring a lunch box today, so I just prepared to buy some bread and other things to eat." It was obviously a refusal, but Natsume's expression showed that It's so sincere that it makes people even want to be angry, not to mention that Higurashi Kagome is not a stingy personality to begin with, so she is just a little regretful: "Okay then."
Higurashi Kagome's voice seemed gloomy, but She did not continue to embarrass Natsume:
"The canteen is..."
Afraid that Natsume could not find a place to sell things, Higurashi Kagome told him the route in detail, and then said with concern: "Don't always eat the food in the canteen, there are none. Nutrition."
"Yeah."
Knowing Kagome Higurashi meant well, Natsume smiled and nodded, then left the classroom to buy food.
Including Higurashi Kagome, all the girls who saw Natsume's smile blushed at the same time, and felt that their heartbeats seemed to be beating a little faster - ah, what a beautiful and clean smile! Why is Natsume-kun so handsome!
However, these simple children only saw the surface, but did not notice the politeness and alienation hidden under Natsume's smile.
With Natsume's character and experience, how could he become a real good friend with a ten-year-old girl so quickly?
Even if her concern is genuine.
It's a pity that he hides it so well that most people can't tell it at all. They only think that he is particularly gentle and easy to talk to, which makes him even more popular among the girls in the class.
As Natsume left, he didn't know that all the girls in the classroom were blushing because of him. At this time, he had already bought bread and milk, and found a secluded place to finish it alone.
After eating, Natsume lay down on the ground and closed her beautiful eyes. Her movements were really free and unrestrained, and she unconsciously exuded an unruly aura. If the little girls in the school saw it, they would probably do it again. It caused a burst of screaming.
However, the reason why Natsume chose this place was because it was nowhere to be found by ordinary people, otherwise he would never show such a leisurely attitude.
Many students in Class A of the fifth year wanted to have a good chat with Natsume at noon to strengthen their relationship. Unfortunately, they did not see Natsume leisurely walking in from outside until the lunch break was over to start the afternoon classes.
There were not many classes in the afternoon. After the school bell rang, Natsume was about to leave, but was stopped by Ino, the homeroom teacher who came in at some unknown time.
"Go back and take a good look at this form. The school stipulates that every student must join one to three clubs. This will be included in the final grade. Give me the completed form in three days." He took the form that Ino handed to him
. , Natsume glanced at it and saw the names of more than ten clubs written on it.
Natsume also participated in club activities in school before, so Natsume was not surprised by this form. He nodded to the teacher and said that he understood: "I understand, Mr. Ino, I will hand in the form on time in three days.
" ."
Natsume is not interested in clubs or anything like that at all, but since he has to pretend to be a student for a while, there are some rules that must be followed.
At least you have to abide by it now.
——
Natsume didn't find it strange that Ryugen Ishida was not seen at the school gate. Ryugen Ishida was not a warm person to begin with. Being able to send him to school in person in the morning was already a great honor, but Natsume had no more expectations.
For dinner, Natsume bought a bento at a convenience store. It wasn't that he didn't know how to cook, it was just that he didn't have the inclination.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Natsume looked like an ordinary elementary school student who went to and from school on time every day. Apart from his elegant and mature behavior, it was impossible to tell that he actually had the soul of a mature man.
Natsume also filled out the form that the homeroom teacher gave him before, and chose the tennis club.
It's not that Natsume likes playing tennis so much. In fact, he originally wanted to choose a relaxing club like the book club, but he couldn't stand the hard work of Higurashi Kagome, who was a member of the tennis club. In the end, Natsume chose the same way as her. of societies.
This incident made Higurashi Kagome extremely happy, and the smile on her lips did not disappear for a long time.
After school that afternoon, Natsume was just about to go home when Higurashi Kagome grabbed him and forced him to go somewhere with her.
Anyway, he had nothing to do, and seeing Higurashi Kagome looking so excited, Natsume did not refuse and got on the bus with Higurashi Kagome.
When Kagome Higurashi said that she had arrived at her destination, looking at the sign hanging on the building in front of her, Natsume finally understood what Kagome Higurashi was thinking.
Facing Natsume's clear gaze, Higurashi Kagome laughed a little embarrassedly: "Since you have
joined the tennis club, you need your own racket and other things. After all, I have been playing for several years. I play tennis. Regardless of my ability, I can still give you some advice on buying these things." "You can
just ask directly, and I won't refuse. Why do you have to be so secretive?"
Natsume shook her head helplessly, earning another innocent giggle from Higurashi Kagome.
——
"Welcome."
The boss is a very energetic uncle. After seeing Higurashi Kagome and Natsume coming in, he immediately said hello loudly: "What do you need? Do you want me to recommend it to you?" Because
Higurashi
Kagome Wei and Natsume looked like they were elementary school students, so the boss asked enthusiastically.
"No need, I already have several years of tennis experience. We will choose whatever we want."
Higurashi Kagome rejected the boss's suggestion, but her words made Natsume feel a strange and familiar feeling in her heart. It feels like, in my memory, a guy who doesn't play tennis very well always keeps saying that.
Kagome Higurashi didn't know what Natsume was thinking. After rejecting the boss, she walked to the place where the tennis rackets were placed. After taking a glance, she saw the familiar racket. Her eyes lit up and she took out the racket. Arriving in front of Natsume.
Chapter 8 Help
"I am using this brand of racket now, you should use the same one as me, Natsume."
Higurashi Kagome said to Natsume with a smile.
After a few days, Higurashi Kagome felt that she and Natsume were already friends, so at her request, the two of them dropped the honorifics and called each other directly by their surnames.
"Yeah, okay."
Natsume nodded, nonchalantly. Anyway, he only plays tennis to cope with school, and he doesn't want to get any results, so for him, all rackets are the same.
However, Natsume didn't care, but it didn't mean that other people had the same idea as him. Before his hand touched the racket, he heard a cold voice from beside him: "Wait a minute." Natsume and Higurashi Kagome moved toward each other at the same time
.
They looked in the direction where the voice came from, and then a young man of the same age as the two of them, wearing sportswear, came into view.
"This dress..."
Higurashi Kagome showed a thoughtful expression:
"It seems to be the official uniform of the tennis club of some school."
Although Higurashi Kagome is from the tennis club and has participated in several competitions, there are no men's and women's competitions. They are all separate and the uniforms are different, so they just look familiar.
Compared to Higurashi Kagome's sense of familiarity with that set of sportswear, to Natsume, it was the face of the boy who spoke that gave him a sense of familiarity!
Even though he is much younger than he remembers, his expressionless and mature look is not much different from his future self.
Moreover, Natsume felt that this sense of familiarity seemed to not only come from the soul, but also seemed to remember this face in this body. Could it be that she had some kind of contact with him before?
Of course, these just flashed through Natsume's mind and were not shown.
"What's the matter, classmate?"
Natsume asked the boy. Higurashi Kagome also reacted and looked at the boy who suddenly spoke with the same curious expression.
"Are you a beginner?"
The boy didn't answer Natsume's words, but asked instead.
Not sure if it was his own misunderstanding, Natsume always felt that there was some inexplicable meaning in the boy's eyes when he looked at him.
"Yes."
Kagome Higurashi spoke loudly just now, and it was not surprising that others in the store heard her, so Natsume immediately nodded to indicate that the boy's words were correct.
"This model of racket is not suitable for beginners. The size and weight are not suitable, and boys and girls have different strengths, so the rackets they choose are also different." The young man's voice was clear and cold, without any emotional fluctuations, too
much Yu's straightforward narration made Higurashi Kagome's face instantly turn red, and she felt embarrassed in her heart -
she really wanted to help Natsume choose a racket, but the boy's words let her know that she almost did something bad with good intentions, and she didn't know how to pretend to understand. It was so embarrassing to be brought up!
At this moment, Higurashi Kagome didn't dare to look at Natsume's face, for fear of seeing an expression of surprise and ridicule on his face.
Of course, Natsume would not be so unscrupulous. He felt Kagome Higurashi's sincerity was genuine, and of course he would not laugh at her because she didn't do a good job.
However, Natsume also knew that Kagome Higurashi might not be in a good mood at this time. After smiling at her reassuringly, she turned to look at the boy again: "Then can you help me choose a suitable racket?" "
Ah
. ."
The young man nodded, carefully selected on the shelf for a long time, and finally took a pair from the top and handed it to Natsume: "For beginners, I think
this one is good."
From the beginning to the end, Natsume always regarded the young man as Watching his movements, he discovered that there were actually several rackets with the same data, but the one the boy chose in the end was the cheapest one among them!
How do you look so poor and short of money?
Natsume's eyes flashed, and a deep thought flashed in his heart.
——Of
course, these are just Natsume's thoughts. On the surface, he smiled at the boy: "Thank you,
my name is Natsume Takashi, and she is Higurashi Kagome. What's your name?"
Since the other party helped him, It is natural to ask for names.
"You're welcome."
The boy first solemnly stated that what he did was just a small thing, and then said his name:
"Tezuka Kunimitsu."
It was indeed Tezuka Kunimitsu!
Although Natsume had already guessed the boy's identity when he first spoke, only after getting his confirmation could Natsume be 100% sure. After all, this was not a comic book, but reality.
Tezuka Kunimitsu, who always worked hard, not only chose a racket for Natsume, but also helped him choose some tapes, wrist guards and other things, and even a few tennis balls.
Looking at Tezuka Kunimitsu's meticulous look, Natsume couldn't even refuse.
Tezuka Kunimitsu was not a talkative person. Natsume could tell that he seemed to have something else to say to him, but in the end, after hesitating for a while, he finally left without saying anything.
Because Tezuka Kunimitsu still had his own things to buy, Natsume and Higurashi Kagome left first, and Tezuka Kunimitsu who stayed in the store could still hear the two people's increasingly quiet conversation.
"I'm sorry, Natsume, if I hadn't met Tezuka-san today, I would have really gotten into trouble!"
"It's not your fault. Who would have thought that it's just a tennis ball, and there are so many things to pay attention to!"
"It seems like it's just a tennis ball. You should really do some research before doing anything in the future! Also, Tezuka-san is really a good person. Although he looks expressionless, he is actually very enthusiastic!" "Well, you can't tell a person's face here!"
"..."
The voice became smaller and smaller until it was no longer audible. Then Tezuka looked away from the outside of the store and began to pick out what he needed.
——
"Ah, I remembered!"
On the way to the bus stop, Higurashi Kagome suddenly shouted, with a look of enlightenment on her face.
"Remember what?"
Natsume was used to Kagome Higurashi's surprise. After all, she was still a primary school student, right?
"I remembered where I saw Tezuka-san's team uniforms. Seishundai No. 1 Elementary School, yes, Seishundai No. 1 Elementary School. Not long ago, our club even played a friendly match with them. It was just because of the boys' and girls' uniforms. There are some differences, so I thought about it for a long time before I remembered it."
——Qingchundai No. 1 Primary School?
Kagome Higurashi's words made Natsume's eyes flash--
if I remember correctly, this body went to this school before, but the previous body didn't seem to have any contact with Tezuka Kunimitsu, right?
Moreover, Natsume before rebirth only stayed there for a few weeks, and he didn’t even recognize all the classmates in the class!
