Natsume's Youth Story

“I said… Hiratsuka-sensei, I have a question. ”

Natsume looked at Shizuki Hiratsuka, who took the biscuit, and couldn’t help but want to ask a question.

“What problem?”

After tasting a small cookie, Hiratsuka Shizuma, who still felt good, couldn’t help but look at Natsume curiously.

“Shizune Hiratsuka-sensei… Looking at your reaction just now, have you never received a gift from a boy when you are so old? ”

Natsume couldn’t help but ask Shizune Hiratsuka.

“……”

Hiratsuka Jing, who was originally curious, instantly fell silent after hearing this sentence, and then, black qi visible to the naked eye emerged from Hiratsuka Shizune’s body.

“Hehe, do you really dare to ask? Isn’t this afraid of death? ”

Hiratsuka Shizune looked at Natsume, although he was smiling, but that smile was really a little mad, as if… It’s like looking at a dead man.

“So… Natsume, are you ready to die? ”

Hiratsuka Shizune stood up, his fists ready, and… He punched Natsume.

“！！！”

There is no doubt that even Natsume felt a great power at this moment, as if facing a fierce youkai… This shows the power of Shizuki Hiratsuka.

“I’ll go first.”

There was no intention of fighting against Hirizuka Shizune at all, Natsume pulled his legs and ran, this woman was really too terrifying.

“Swoosh!”

Looking at Natsume who fled because of fear as soon as he slipped through the smoke, Hiratsuka Shizune couldn’t help but smile, she really didn’t expect Natsume to be so timid.

“But… Became cheerful? ”

Hiratsuka Shizune looked at the departing Natsume, thinking of the boy who was so weak that it was distressing when he first met each other.

“It’s grown too.”

Hiratsuka sighed.

Watching the other party’s growth made her feel, is she really old?

Natsume, who had escaped from the office, returned to the Ministry of Service and found that Yubihama had left, and Futaba’s words were naturally in his own science department.

“So… See you tomorrow, Minister Yukinoshita. ”

Natsume picked up his bag, nodded at the snow, and prepared to leave.

“Meow.”

The cat teacher looked at Natsume, who was leaving, and without hesitation, jumped up from the thigh under the snow, and suddenly came to Natsume’s shoulder, ready to leave together.

“See you tomorrow.”

Yukinoshita nodded softly at Natsume.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, I always feel that there is a trace of disappointment in her tone, perhaps, because of the departure of the disappointed cat?

After all, for her who can pet cats, such a time is really too short.

Natsume, who left the Ministry of Service, came to the Science Department next door.

“Futaba, I’m in.”

After knocking on the door, Natsume walked into the science department and saw… Futaba in a daze?

“Futaba, what’s wrong with you?”

Even when Natsume walked in, Futaba didn’t realize it, but it was when Natsume appeared in front of Futaba that Futaba noticed Natsume.

“Is it Natsume?”

Futaba looked at Natsume, and his eyes immediately dodged, “I’m just thinking about something.” ”

“This way.”

Natsume nodded, not saying anything more, not doubting, because Futaba often thinks about things about quantum mechanics, so this look is very normal.

“By the way, this is the cookie you want.”

Futaba put the biscuit that Natsume had asked him to help hold just now in front of Natsume.

Although the tone was very flat, in her heart, she was really super curious about what Natsume wanted to do with these cookies.

Of course, on the surface, it doesn’t show it at all.

“Thank you, Futaba.”

Natsume smiled, then took a small bag of cookies from it and handed it to Futaba.

“Hey?”

Futaba looked at Natsume in surprise, obviously not expecting Natsume to make such a move.

“This is for you, Futaba.”

Natsume smiled.

“For me?”

Futaba was surprised, obviously not the slightest bit prepared.

“This…”

“This is the first time I’ve made cookies, so I want to give these to the people closest to me, and besides Aunt Takako, Uncle Shige, and Kaede, my best friend is only Futaba you.”

Natsume looked at Futaba very seriously and said.

“In this time of acquaintance, Futaba, I really thank you for taking care of you.”

Natsume’s words were full of gratitude, after all, Futaba really helped him a lot.

“Natsume…”

Futaba’s eyes also became gentle after hearing Natsume’s words, “You don’t need to care so much, we’re friends, aren’t we?” ”

Besides, I get more from you.

“Yes, we are friends.”

Natsume nodded very seriously.

“Human emotions are really complicated.”

The cat teacher on the side, after seeing this scene, felt strange in his heart, as a monster, he did not understand human emotions, no matter how many years it took.

Subsequently, Natsume said goodbye to Futaba, left the science department, and left the school.

“Natsume…”

After Natsume leaves, in the science department alone, Futaba looks at the cookie in his hand and laughs as if a child has received a favorite toy.

“Hurry up and find out how to keep cookies for the longest time.”

Futaba became anxious.

And at this time, Natsume had already returned home.

“I’m back.”

Natsume shouted.

“Oni-chan, how’s it going? What do you think? Are club activities fun? ”

Kaede, who was waiting at the door as soon as the time came, pounced on Natsume as soon as he returned, and then looked at Natsume expectantly, wanting to know how the club activities were.

“Be careful, Kaede.”

Natsume, who hugged Kaede, had a hint of pampering in his eyes, “It’s very interesting for club activities, by the way, this is a cookie made by my brother himself, and a cookie made by the minister of the club, Kaede takes it and eats it himself, right?” ”

Natsume gave Kaede a copy of the cookies he made, as well as the cookies made under the snow.

“Cookies made by Oni-chan?”

After Kaede heard Natsume’s words, the whole person was shocked, looked at the cookie in his hand in surprise, subconsciously picked up a piece, and then ate it.
