imaginary

When I packed my luggage and was about to leave the next day, I saw Chang Lingsen standing at the door unexpectedly. I was surprised to ask how he got in, but the uncle squeezed into the door very rudely, and by the way, took the luggage with him. The little guy was also squeezed back into the room, and then looked around cautiously, then closed the door.

Xiangnan felt very puzzled and kept looking at the uncle.

After Zhang Lingsen was relieved, he took out a yellow orange from nowhere.

"Eh? Basuo orange?" Xiangnan saw it again, and suddenly felt a feeling of not knowing what hit her heart.

"Yes, yes." Chang Lingsen looked very proud, and then leaned into Xiangnan's ear and said, "I saw there are some in this place, so I took a few as gifts for you!" Then he raised his hands The tangerines still have the flattering expression they had at the beginning.

take?Uncle stole quietly again, right?Just like the last time I unknowingly went to Natsume's house to steal Hassaku tangerines... Shonan's face changed when he realized that he remembered someone again, then shook his head to shake those thoughts away, and turned to Nagaling Mori again.

"No need, uncle can keep it for the winter..." Xiangnan retracted her hand inadvertently, subconsciously rejecting the uncle's kindness.

Fortunately, Chang Lingsen is a careless guy, he didn't notice anything unusual, but excitedly stuffed oranges into Xiangnan's bag on his own initiative: "What's the matter! Of course Xiaonan needs it more."

Xiangnan unconsciously felt a burst of warmth, but Chang Lingsen decisively destroyed the atmosphere.

"Anyway, I know it's here. If you want it, come here to get it next time."

Xiangnan shook her head angrily and amusedly, uncle...

Chang Lingsen poked his head back and forth, stuffed oranges everywhere, occasionally raised his head to meet Shang Xiangnan's eyes, and would smile brightly.Xiangnan suddenly felt that Chang Lingsen was really a good partner!With a sore nose, Xiangnan stepped forward and hugged Chang Lingsen, whimpering: "Uncle Asen...I will miss you!"

"Eh? Xiao Nan, didn't you intend to miss me?" Chang Lingsen suddenly became sensitive, with a face of disapproval.

"Ahaha..." Xiangnan laughed a few times, not knowing what to say, since he was indeed planning to do this.

"Xiao Nan, we are friends!" The uncle slapped Xiangnan's back with his big palm, and Xiangnan couldn't help coughing a few times. Don't come to shoot again.

But Chang Lingsen still stretched out his hand.

Just when Xiangnan wanted to reach out to protect her fragile body, Chang Lingsen raised her hand high, and then gently placed it on Xiangnan's head, messing up her hair.

Xiangnan suddenly relaxed his body, and then smiled foolishly.Although we won't be able to meet each other in the future, I will really miss you, Uncle Asen.

Then it's a real farewell.

After leaving Roppongi, Shonan wanted to go to a warmer place, but on the other hand, he had a lot of persistence and expectations for "soaking in hot springs in winter", so he was very conflicted, but when he arrived at the so-called hot springs After going to the village, Xiangnan knew that it was not far from Yayuan, so she left there without hesitation, went to a warm place, and gave up the idea of ​​hot springs.

In the next few years, Shonan used the name "Kumiko Akimoto" to wander around places far from Yahara, and gradually forgot about the boy he once was.

On a warm sunny afternoon, Xiang Nan remembered the person she had forgotten, and suddenly smiled, look, as she said, time is so merciless, making you forget a person.

easy.

Epilogue saw the boy

Time flies, and the people under this torture gradually grow old and mature, but Xiangnan, a girl who has not integrated into this world, still maintains such a small figure, such a short stature, and such short hair. Going to junior high school, she still looks like a primary school student, and Xiangnan gradually became cold-hearted.

Now the place I am going to is famous for its calendula. Xiangnan is walking the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus all the way, planning to go to the campus full of calendula. There are many men and women in uniform coming and going on the road, and there are many people who are interested in this place. The little one was very curious.The feeling of all kinds of eyes intertwined on her body is uncomfortable, Xiangnan can't help curling her lips: I don't have a schoolbag on my back and I want to come here to study, what's so interesting about it!

"That kid is so cute~"

"Yes, yes, but why did you come to the elementary school? Could it be a freshman from the school next door?" Xiangnan's footsteps froze in embarrassment, and there was an elementary school not far from this school.But I am not a primary school student!Xiangnan was annoyed, and casually glared hard at the crowd.

"Eh? Yuri, is she looking at you?"

"So cute~"

"Do you know Yuli Zi?" Several girls pushed a girl.

"I don't seem to know you..." Then came the girl's doubtful but energetic voice.

"Youlizi, go and do me a favor!"

"Yes, yes!" Then there was a whisper.

"Maybe I like Yuli more."

"That's right, Yuriko is very lively and cheerful." This sounded a little jealous.

"Okay! Leave it to me!" The girl replied dryly.

Xiangnan subconsciously listened to their words, and continued to move slowly.

"Little sister~" After a few steps, I heard the girl's footsteps and conversation.

Xiangnan felt a little chilled by this address, but subconsciously stopped in her tracks and turned her head.

The girl caught up with Xiangnan within a few steps, then squatted down, her eyes were bright and her maroon pupils were shining brightly: "Little sister, did you come to school to find your sister or brother? Do you need my help?

"

Xiangnan lowered her eyes, twitched the corners of her mouth to express her dissatisfaction with this title, and then replied: "No, I'm here to see Calendula."

Well?The girl was obviously depressed by this answer, and then she straightened her mind, put on a standard good sister and said with a smile: "Then sister will take you there, but class is about to start, you have to hurry up, or you will be late for school of."

There was a trace of helplessness in Xiangnan's eyes, and then he said in a low voice: "Today, the school organizes outings. I asked for leave and didn't attend, so there are no classes."

"Oh, let me take you to see it. It happens to be in the same direction as my classroom. But be careful when you go home! The child is outside alone..." The girl naturally took Xiangnan's hand and walked in one direction Walking, I kept thinking about it as I walked, and then suddenly stopped, "Hey, Natsume-kun..." Xiangnan was startled when he heard this address, and kept saying in his heart, "There are so many people with the surname Natsume. It must be that person, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Then he raised his head and followed the girl's eyes to look under the tree.

The gentle young man under the tree was holding a book and reading it seriously, not paying attention to the situation here.

But even with his head down, Xiangnan can be sure that the boy's eyes must be brown, shining with a moving light, making people nostalgic, like glass.

The girl beside her was looking at Natsume in a daze, and she didn't know when she would let go of her hand.Xiangnan who came back to his senses took a deep breath, ran away quickly, and then hid behind a building, watching the scenery over there secretly.

You Lizi recovered from her own memories, remembering that the boy was under the tree like this last time, and then she was recognized by herself, and she had a good talk, and couldn't help laughing.Then he stepped forward and greeted: "Natsume-kun."

The boy under the tree raised his head, slightly curious, saw the girl, and nodded knowingly: "Ogata-san."

"Reading again?" Ogata put Lizi's hands behind her back, and Xiangnan saw that she was moving her fingers nervously.

"That's right. Where's Ogata-san?" Natsume asked politely.

Natsume-kun, seems to have become more mature and gentler.Also, must have grown taller!For some reason, Xiangnan's chest felt uncomfortable.Natsume-kun has a friend of his own...

"Ah... I'm taking a kid to see Calendula..." Then the girl turned her head and found that the girl beside her was gone. "Ah?" The girl looked around, "Why is it missing?"

Natsume was a little sensitive about this: "It can't be a monster... right?" He hesitated.

"No, everyone has seen it. She has short gray hair and is wearing a red dress. She looks super cute~" The girl unconsciously raised pink bubbles.

Natsume couldn't help being speechless for a moment, and then he was relieved, as long as it wasn't a monster.

Speaking of gray hair... Natsume couldn't help thinking far away, Nan, where are you?

But here, Xiangnan, who was being thought of by Natsume's heart, was poured like cold water, a monster?Natsume-kun, you think I'm a monster? !I am clearly, clearly a human being!You really, really sure don't remember me!

— Where did you come to this conclusion, girl?Just casually talking about monsters!After all, the boy Natsume has been harassed by monsters all the time... Hey, why are you blocking me!

--Chatty!

--……tears!

Tanabata Small Theater

The author has something to say: I’m sorry, sorry, I forgot to transplant the episode, hehe, it has nothing to do with the main text, it has nothing to do with it, and then the original text was transplanted at that time, so some people can’t understand why Qixi Festival has passed, and those who still write about Qixi Festival don’t have to think so much On this joyous day, abusive articles are obviously inappropriate...I saw Xiaomi’s message before, so I suddenly thought of what to write in a small theater, let’s write about Natsume who grew up and met Zhen when he was a child, hehe whee!

Let’s talk about a certain cold and miserable Qixi Festival, (although it is a traditional Chinese festival, but let’s ignore it for this theater) Natsume Takashi, who is already a high school student, was helplessly “swept” out of the house by Aunt Fujiwara, beautiful It's called "Go and have fun with your classmates", but the problem is... How do you find classmates on a day like Qixi Festival?If you're looking for a guy, you'll think it's...the type that some Tanmeiwolves like, and if you're looking for a girl, you'll be misunderstood. If you're in a group...someone must be willing to come!

Reluctantly being rejected again, and getting the bonus words of "find a girl you like", Natsume can only stare at the phone in his hand in a daze.

"That..." A girl's voice sounded, and Xia Mu felt that the corner of her clothes was being pulled.

"Why..." Before finishing speaking, Natsume couldn't help being stunned, this kid... looks like Ah Nan!

"Brother, I want to eat ice cream...but...but I don't have any money." The little baby puffed up her cheeks and motioned Natsume to look at the ice cream shop over there.

"Oh...oh." Even though they didn't know each other, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and with Natsume's character, even a child who didn't know him would try his best to help.

After speaking, Natsume got up, and immediately felt the gap between himself and the child, and wanted to hold the child's hand for a slight pause.

The little baby followed Natsume's movement and looked up, perhaps feeling too tired, and immediately lowered his head again, then raised his head again, and stretched out his chubby little arms: "Brother, hold Nan."

Maybe he was frightened by the child's self-proclaimed name, or he was too shy to "hold Anan", in short, Natsume was stunned for a while.

The girl who raised her hands sorely felt aggrieved: "Don't you want to hug Ah Nan?"

Staring at the watery blue eyes full of grievances, as if submerged in a piece of water, not sea water, but a stream, Natsume suddenly remembered the same girl with the same appearance, and couldn't help but blush, but also quickly He hugged the little guy in front of him.

"What's your name?" Subconsciously, but also with expectation.

"My name is Onodera Shonan." The little girl said the name in an awkward tone, and then quickly explained, "It's not that I'm not good at Japanese, but that the name is really difficult to pronounce! My brother can just call me Anan." Xu Knowing that what she said was really bad, the little girl explained with some shame.

"Ah Nan..." Sure enough, it was Ah Nan.As if it was an expected surprise, Xia Mu's eyes couldn't help but overflow with tenderness.

"Hmm!" The little girl responded, but immediately pouted again, "Ice cream!"

"Okay, my brother will take you to eat ice cream." Natsume responded with a good voice.

But when I arrived at the ice cream shop, I realized that money is not necessarily useful.

"I'm sorry, guest, this ice cream is provided free of charge for couples during Qixi Festival, and it is not for sale."

The little brother at the door of the store apologized.

Natsume who heard clearly was a little embarrassed, a little embarrassed, a little depressed.

But Xiangnan, who understood it, looked puzzled: "What is a couple?"

The little brother's face couldn't help stiffening for a moment, and then he tactfully pointed to a couple of talented scholars and beautiful ladies on the street and said, "Here, those boys and girls holding hands and hugging each other."

"Hmm." Xiangnan turned his head, then reached out his small hand to hold the hand of Natsume who was holding Xiangnan, and then let go, the whole person threw himself on Natsume, and the little hand tried to hug him symbolically .

Natsume couldn't help but laugh.

The little brother was in a dilemma, so he had to point to the couple who were "in close contact" on the bench by the street and said, "You need someone like that."

Xiangnan looked sideways, and couldn't help covering her eyes with her small hand, then secretly loosened the gap between her big fingers, and then her eyes turned around between the ice cream sign and the men and women on the bench. He said calmly to Natsume: "Brother, it's okay, I will take care of it." Then he pecked at the young Natsume's lips.

Natsume was stunned, his face turned red all of a sudden.To be told by a child to be responsible, even though Ah Nan...

Little girl Xiangnan obviously didn't know what it meant to be responsible, so she just broke it off casually, because the only word she knew was the most solemn, so, to show that she was serious, the girl put out these two words.

Then, he stared at the brother who delivered the ice cream with piercing eyes.

... A bead of sweat was obviously dripping from the back of the little brother's head, and black lines covered half of it.

at last?Of course, Natsume hugged Xiao Xiangnan, each with an ice cream, and left happily.

Qixi Festival, it seems to be good~ Natsume couldn't help but frowned when he saw Xiangnan happily eating ice cream in his arms.

The third volume of life is difficult to understand, time waits

Natsume Monologue

I am Natsume Takashi, my parents passed away very early, my memory of them is very vague, but I remember my father is very gentle.

I've always seen strange things, which I later learned were monsters.I was always scared unconsciously, making strange noises and making strange movements.I know what they say about me behind my back, obviously they don't know me, why do they judge me like that?

I was fostered at Aoi's house, and I went to elementary school nearby.

In my second grade, I made my first friend.

Onodera Shonan.

Ah Nan can see monsters, she will always protect me, and she is always worried about the first time I protected her.Obviously I'm a boy.

Ah Nan is very cute. Seeing that I was called by my classmates in the class, I even called my name to myself who I hadn’t known for a long time, but because I didn’t hear people calling me "Guizhi Jun" very often, I didn’t react. Fortunately, she Called a second time.She invited me to lunch.For me, it was the first time to have lunch with friends.

Ah Nan is a careless guy who forgets to bring his lunch.But it doesn't matter, I gave her the rice balls, anyway, Auntie Aoi puts a lot of things every time, and I can't finish them.

Ah Nan is not good at exercise. During the physical education class, he was distracted while running and was almost knocked over. At that time, it really scared me to death. Fortunately, there was nothing serious.

I was really worried when I heard the conversation between her and her classmates, but when Anan said "Guizhi is my friend, I don't allow you to speak ill of him!", I was really happy!But it also made her classmates cry.Worried, I opened the curtain to look at her, only to find that she had a bulging face and smiled unconsciously.

Ah Nan was very defensive, and she was very angry when Aoi-san said that I followed her. If I hadn't pulled her, she would have gone to the other party to argue.I don't want Ah Nan to quarrel with others because of me.I know she is protecting me.

Ah Nan always cuts her hair so short, she doesn't seem to like long hair, but she is inexplicably interested in those headbands.When I was in the jewelry store, she asked me to check carefully to see if her hair was connected to the scalp. Although I thought it was strange, I still looked and answered her solemnly.However, Xiangnan smells very good, when I saw it for the first time... I accidentally lost my mind...

Ah Nan knew Changling Sen, and I knew Hina, and felt that God had deliberately asked us two to reunite them, and suddenly felt very happy, as if wanting me and Ah Nan to be together.Uh... what was I thinking!

I am very happy with Ah Nan, I want to share my happy things with her, and I want to stay with her forever.

And then…that day ruined those things.At noon that day, the head teacher told me that Aoi's house asked me to go home, about leaving Aoi's house.I was taken aback at the time, I had never heard of this before!Aunt Aoi said sorry to me on the phone.I know it must be because of the third son of Aoi.I said I wanted to go home early, but Aunt Aoi told me to leave time for everyone at school to say goodbye.Then I suddenly thought of Ah Nan.But Ah Nan has asked for leave to go home, so I want to go back earlier.But Aunt Aoi had already hung up the phone.So I had to ask for leave with the class teacher, but she didn't agree.Then the class bell rang, and I had no choice but to go back to class, but I was absent-minded throughout the class, but it was strange that the Mandarin teacher didn't scold me.After class, I went to the class teacher again.This time, even my Mandarin teacher interceded for me, and I was finally approved.I happily thanked my Mandarin teacher, and I knew she knew who I was looking for.

After leaving school, I realized that I didn't know where Ah Nan lived.So I had to look for her everywhere, and waited for a long time on the road in front of the shrine, until people from the Aoi family came out to look for me and took me back home.

I watched them sorting things out for me blankly, and I didn't want to leave at all, but I knew that the Aoi family was not suitable for me, and I didn't like the third son of Aoi either.I don't want to go because I want to be with Nan.

However, until the car drove away, I did not find Ah Nan, nor did I wait for Ah Nan.Even sitting in the car, I still looked back frequently until I got out of Yayuan.

Where would I be sent again?Is there any chance for me to meet Ah Nan again?Will Ah Nan blame me for leaving without saying goodbye?Ah Nan...

I think I don't know enough about Nan. I don't know what kind of skirt, what flavor of ice cream, what color hair rope Ah Nan likes.Because I... ちょっと(cyoto), すき...

like you……
