Chapter 165 Poor Taozi
"Momoshiro-kun."
Looking at the boy in front of him who was greeting him like an acquaintance, that is, Momoshiro Takeshi, Natsume nodded lightly, then turned his head to look at Higurashi Kagome, whose eyes were a little sparkling: "Don't tell me you're here to watch Seigaku's game today?"
Although it was a question, Natsume probably already had the answer in his mind. Didn't you see Takeshi Momoro carrying a tennis bag behind him? If he came to watch other schools' games, he wouldn't have to carry such a heavy thing.
"Yes."
Higurashi Kagome couldn't understand Natsume's expression, but she still nodded honestly: "Seigaku is a dark horse now, especially today is the first game of the Kanto Tournament. I can definitely do it between Seigaku and Hyōtei. I learned a lot! Will Seigaku's Tezuka Kunimitsu face off against Hyōtei's Atobe Keigo? I'm very excited just thinking about it! I've only heard that those two ministers are national-level, but I've never seen it with my own eyes Let's pass their competition!"
As she said that, Higurashi Kagome turned her eyes to Momojo Takeshi, who was ignored by Natsume. The interest in her eyes could not be concealed: "Is this Takeshi Momojo, the main candidate of Seigaku? Natsume, do you know him?"
Natsume didn't look at Momoshiro Takeshi at all, his eyes were still on Higurashi Kagome: "Well, I met him once, and our men's tennis team played a friendly match with Seigaku a few days ago. My opponent It's Tezuka Kunimitsu."
"No!"
Higurashi Kagome almost cried out. She had long wanted to watch Tezuka Kunimitsu's game with her own eyes, but she was either busy during Seigaku's game and couldn't go. , or went to Tezuka Kunimitsu but had no end, so it has been delayed until now.
"Why didn't I know about this?"
Higurashi Kagome said with an annoyed look on her face,
"I've been looking forward to saying this for so long!"
"You were sick at that time."
Natsume glanced at Higurashi Kagome lightly, her eyes There was a light that Kagome Higurashi couldn't understand.
"I can't let a sick person go to the game."
"Ahahaha..."
Higurashi Kagome immediately laughed awkwardly after hearing this. Now whenever her "illness" is mentioned, Higurashi Kagome will feel I felt uneasy, so naturally I didn't dare to continue asking.
Listening to Natsume and Higurashi Kagome chatting naturally there, Takeshi Momoro stood there feeling embarrassed and didn't know whether he should leave.
That day in the sushi restaurant, Natsume and Seigaku Shoshou made things very unpleasant. When they separated, the atmosphere was very depressing. But to be honest, after thinking about it carefully later, Momoshiro Takeshi didn't actually have any bad feelings towards Natsume, especially after hearing that He defeated his own Hyouyama Minister, so Takeshi Momoro admired Natsume deep down in his heart.
Therefore, after he just saw someone who seemed to be Natsume, he came over to say hello without hesitation, but who knew that he received a cold reception. Even the big-hearted Takeshi Momojo couldn't laugh at this time.
"Don't you come here without knowing who is competing today?"
He just wanted to make Natsume forget about his "sickness" as soon as possible, so Kagome Higurashi hurriedly changed the topic because she didn't notice the restless Takeshi Momojo.
"Yes."
Natsume responded, feeling a little less interested:
"I just thought that I have some things to deal with today, so..."
Before Natsume could finish his words, Higurashi Kagome, who had already heard the strings and understood the meaning, had already grabbed him. arm:
"No, you promised to accompany me to watch the game, you can't keep your word!"
In fact, Higurashi Kagome would not force others to do things they don't like, but today was an exception. She didn't want to at all. He was alone, so even though he saw that Natsume seemed to be having some trouble with Qingxue, he still held him back.
Natsume wanted to avoid Higurashi Kagome's hand in ten thousand ways without letting her notice that something was wrong, but in the end he did not break away from her hand because Natsume noticed the uneasiness and deepness in Higurashi Kagome's eyes. expect.
Sigh...
Sighing secretly, Natsume deliberately softened his voice a little:
"What I want to say is, because I still have things to deal with, I can't treat you to dinner after the game." --
Higurashi
Ge Wei was not an idiot. Of course she could tell that this was definitely not what Natsume wanted to say, but what did it matter? He is still with me now, isn't he?
"It doesn't matter, I brought a bento!"
Higurashi Kagome let go of Natsume's arm, smiled and raised the thing she had been holding in her hand:
"Mom knew that we were going to watch the game together, so she specially gave it to us early in the morning. We made a bento!"
Thinking of eating the same bento with Natsume, Higurashi Kagome's eyes flashed with nostalgia, thinking that when Natsume had just transferred to her class, she had always brought him bento, but then someone After making a lunch box for Natsume, he never ate the lunch he brought.
So many years have passed in the blink of an eye!
Natsume obviously thought of the same thing as Higurashi Kagome, and couldn't help but soften her expression a little: "
Auntie's bento is delicious, I'm looking forward to it."
"Actually, I've learned how to make bento myself now. I'll try it someday. How about you try my handiwork?"
"Okay."
The atmosphere between the two people here is becoming more and more harmonious, and the content of their conversations has become ambiguous. People who don't know will definitely think that they are a sweet couple. For example, Takeshi Momochi feels that his existence is getting more and more embarrassing.
Now Takeshi Momoro is not only embarrassed by Natsume's deliberate neglect, but also embarrassed by his status as a light bulb - why did
I come over to say hello just now!
Takeshi Momoro wished he had a time machine that could turn back time, and then he could pretend he hadn't seen Natsume, and then he wouldn't be as embarrassed as he is now.
--
"Why are you still here?"
Finally, Natsume seemed to have just noticed Takeshi Momotoshi next to him. He raised his eyebrows and seemed to be surprised by his presence: "Don't the games start at ten o'clock? I've
already You can hear the cheers from the other side of the field. If you don't report, won't you be judged as a forfeit?" "
Ah!"
Takeshi Momoshiro raised his hand and looked at his watch. It showed 9:55, so he immediately wailed and continued. He didn't even bother to say goodbye to Natsume, and sprinted towards the registration office at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
Looking at Takeshi Momojo who seemed to be chased by a ghost, Natsume's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing -
he deliberately reminded Takeshi Momojo when it was almost too late, and Takeshi Momojo's anxious and angry look made Natsume His mood couldn't help but feel a little better, and even the unpleasant mood of watching the youth competition slowly dissipated.
Forget it, they are just a group of ignorant children, why should I care about them?
Natsume thought "magnanimously", and then walked towards the arena with Kagome Higurashi, who was also anxious because the game was about to start.
Chapter 166 Audience
The cheers had indeed already started ringing from the sidelines of the arena, neatly chanting "Atobe SAMA, Atobe SAMA...". As soon as they heard it, they knew it was the Hyotei support group, or to be more precise, it was the Atobe support group.
Natsume is also very popular in school. Many boys and girls admire and admire him, but they have never been so crazy.
So, is this still a difference in school spirit?
"What an exaggeration!"
Kagome Higurashi's eyes widened as she listened to the roaring cheers, and then looked at the crazy expressions of the girls. Suddenly she didn't think much about it. At the same time, she suddenly became worried about Qingxue. It's time for the main selection -
in this kind of atmosphere, won't you perform abnormally during the game?
"Hyotei's support team has always been like this, you'll get used to it."
Natsume said calmly. He glanced at the Seigaku rest area calmly and saw all the people he had seen at Kawamura Sushi Restaurant that day. , the most dazzling among them is naturally the iceberg director of Qingxue, Tezuka Kunimitsu.
"Can we go to the auditorium on the Seigaku side, Natsume?"
After looking back and forth at the auditoriums on both sides for a long time, Higurashi Kagome cautiously asked Natsume for advice.
She had already seen it just now. Natsume and Aogakusho knew each other, and they didn't seem to have a particularly good relationship. Although Natsume was usually indifferent to people, he would not ignore it intentionally, so Higurashi Kagome could naturally see the difference. Come.
However, looking at the crazy atmosphere around Hyotei that made the air almost burn, even though she had fought her way in and out of thousands of monsters many times, the scene where it seemed like a crazy fan was about to meet her idol still made her a little timid.
Therefore, after hesitating for a long time, Higurashi Kagome carefully proposed to go to Seigaku's side. At the same time, she also made a decision in her heart. As long as Natsume showed a hint of unwillingness, she would leave to Hyoute's side.
Anyway, no matter how crazy those girls are, they can't be more powerful than Naraku!
But what Higurashi Kagome didn't expect was that Natsume was rarely moody, and even if he really didn't want to, he wouldn't show it and she would find out.
Not to mention that Natsume was originally planning to go to Qingxue.
Not to mention that he had already vented his unswerving love for Seogakus on poor Takeshi Momotoshi. Even if he hadn't, he wouldn't have been able to sit in the opponent's auditorium during a game involving Tezuka Kunimitsu.
"Okay."
Natsume nodded without hesitation, making Higurashi Kagome breath a sigh of relief.
Although it is the first game of the Kanto Competition, and last year's national runner-up faced the dark horse Youth Academy, it attracted the attention of many schools and magazine reporters. However, this is not a national competition after all, so although there are many spectators, It's not an exaggeration.
Especially Seigaku, whose support group is far smaller than Hyotei's, and there are many empty seats in the auditorium. Knowing that Natsume doesn't like the excitement, Higurashi Kagome deliberately chose a place where no one was sitting behind and sat down with Natsume. .
It is indeed a bit far away from the stadium, but don't forget that Natsume and Higurashi Kagome are not ordinary people. Even if Higurashi Kagome can't use her own spiritual power smoothly now, the abundant spiritual power will have a subtle effect on her body. had a lot of impact.
One of them is his sharper facial features. Even the bird-shaped monster Higurashi Kagome flying in the sky can be seen clearly and killed with arrows, let alone the game on the field.
Not long after the two sat down, the doubles match started. Higurashi Kagome watched with interest, tilting her head from time to time to discuss with Natsume. Maybe it was because Natsume was around, maybe it was because she really loved tennis. Higurashi Kagome The sadness and pain that had been deeply hidden in his eyes were relieved a lot at this time.
This discovery made the expression on Natsume's face unknowingly relax a little, and she also focused on the competition, not to learn any skills, but to be able to answer Kagome Higurashi when she asked him. .
For a moment, the atmosphere between the two boys and girls, a boy and a girl, was extremely harmonious, like a young couple.
At least that's how it looks in the eyes of others.
--
"Hey, isn't that Natsume?" Fujisuke,
who originally wanted to see if his younger brother came to watch his game, searched around in the auditorium. Unexpectedly, his younger brother found him in the end, and then he found an unexpected one. outsiders.
"Huh?"
Fuji Shusuke's voice was neither too loud nor too soft. Everyone else was focused on Takeshi Momoro and Eiji Kikumaru who were competing and didn't notice. However, Tezuka Kunimitsu was countless times more sensitive to the name Natsume than ordinary people. But I heard it instantly.
First he blinked in confusion, and then Tezuka Kunimitsu reacted instantly. He followed Fuji Shusuke's line of sight with some disbelief and expectation, and indeed saw Natsume at the edge of the auditorium.
Before the joy in his eyes fully bloomed, Tezuka Kunimitsu's eyes froze because he saw Higurashi Kagome sitting next to Natsume. At this time, Higurashi Kagome was talking into Natsume's ear, and Natsume While gently nodding his head, his expression softened, the two of them were shoulder to shoulder and leaning against each other, a look that could be envied by countless people, but Tezuka Kunimitsu felt a knot in his heart, and suddenly felt that the scene was extremely dazzling.
Fuji Shusuke originally shouted out just to see Tezuka Kunimitsu's calmness broken. He always enjoyed breaking the ice.
However, when Fujisuke noticed the flash of confusion in Tezuka Kunimitsu's eyes, the smile on his face disappeared, and his original intention to watch the excitement also disappeared.
Fuji Shusuke just didn't want to see his friend look cold all day long, rather than seeing him sad.
Fujishusuke had always known that his friend valued the young man named Natsume Takashi, but he had never thought about it too much. However, at that moment, when Fujisuke noticed a hint of sadness in Tezuka Kunimitsu's eyes that he might not even have noticed. At this time, he suddenly had some uneasy guess -
no, this is impossible!
Fuji Shusuke comforted himself in his heart. He must have seen it wrong. It was just Tezuka's desire to possess his friend, and it was definitely not what he thought!
--Tezuka
Kunimitsu, who was beside Fuji Shusuke, did not notice the complicated emotions surging in his companion's eyes, and Natsume, who was far away from him, was even less aware of it, because at this time, his eyes were looking back at Tezuka Kunimitsu.
Natsume had already noticed when Fuji Shusuke looked at her, not to mention Tezuka Kunimitsu's gaze which was a little more intense. Natsume temporarily stopped talking to Higurashi Kagome and looked back at Tezuka Kunimitsu from a distance. He nodded slightly as a greeting.
