A leisurely weekend is the perfect time to relax. So let's not think about anything today and just spend the whole day having fun with Lina.

The two were discussing whether to go to the amusement park again in the afternoon. Lina had been cooped up at home for so long that she was almost going crazy, and she was worried about letting Lina go out alone. Today was a good day to go.

The two chatted and laughed, while Ji-chan wagged its tail and circled around them, creating a very harmonious and warm scene.

But at that very moment, the doorbell of the iron gate rang.

Someone's here?

"I'll go open the door." Natsuki Aoi wiped her hands, jogged out of the entrance door, and arrived at the iron gate. After opening it, she found that it was Mito Takahashi who had come to visit!

What's happening here?

Did something happen that made her come all the way to confront me?

Aoi Natsuki quickly searched her memory, but couldn't recall offending her recently. Could it be something from a much earlier time...?

"Yo, yo! Aoi." Takahashi Mito felt embarrassed as soon as she said it, and the air in the whole place almost froze.

"Is something the matter?" Natsuki Aoi asked.

"I... I just came to see Ji-chan and Rina. What are you doing now?"

At this moment, Aoi Natsuki really wanted to reply to her with "I'm opening the door for you," and then quietly watch what she would say in such an awkward situation. But then she thought that she was more likely to lose her temper, so she gave up the idea.

"Lina and I are making spring rolls. We bought the wrappers from the supermarket and used Huo's filling."

"I see..."

The scene fell silent again. Normally, she would have been inside long ago, so why was she being so reserved today?

"Ha...then, come in?"

"Um……"

The two entered one after the other, and did not exchange a single word until they reached the dining room.

The moment Takahashi Mito saw Rina in the dining room, she felt like she had found a lifeline, a smile appeared on her face, and she hugged her and kissed her for a while.

Because of the fact that Mito Takahashi entrusted Yoshi-chan to her for adoption, Rina had an extremely high level of affection for her, and the two quickly sat down on the sofa in the living room to chat.

Aoi Natsuki shook her head helplessly. Although she didn't know what the other woman's purpose was, she didn't think too much about it and continued to wrap spring rolls by herself.

Time passed by, but Aoi Natsuki still hadn't gone to the kitchen to cook, which made Takahashi Mi, who hadn't eaten anything since last night, want to ask her questions.

"Aren't you going to the kitchen to cook? It's almost eleven o'clock already!"

Upon hearing this, Natsuki Aoi slowly turned around: "Oh, I'm planning to take Rina out for Burger King later, so I won't be making lunch."

"Huh?" Mito Takahashi exclaimed in surprise.

Is there a problem?

Mito Takahashi frowned, thought about it carefully, and couldn't think of any problem at all!

So, am I just going to head home like this?

No! She's come all this way, how can she just go back like this!

"Of course, no problem. I just happened to want to talk to you. Let's go to the burger joint together, the three of us..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Natsuki Aoi's heart skipped a beat.

As expected! She was just looking for trouble with me!

My guess was absolutely right!

"Isn't that necessary?" Natsuki Aoi's smile became somewhat awkward.

But this smiling face was interpreted in a completely new way by Mitsu Takahashi!

This,

This,

Is this guy looking down on himself?

Immediately, Mito Takahashi's mentality completely collapsed.

Chapter 45 Hayakawa's Positivity

Although both sides misunderstood each other's meaning, they somehow managed to connect on a certain frequency.

Aoi Natsuki mainly wanted to think things over again. Blindly launching an attack was not his style. Knowing that he was going to be lectured, he decided to take the initiative to refuse.

“If you have anything to say, you can say it here,” Natsuki Aoi said.

Mito Takahashi frowned deeply, having already considered this possibility: what if the other party asked her questions directly?

She answered directly, "I just want to talk to you about Ji-chan getting a dog license."

Aoi Natsuki was taken aback upon hearing this, and then looked around for something before finally picking up a green dog license from the counter.

"It's all taken care of..."

"..."

Mito Takahashi was caught off guard; the other party had secretly gotten Yoshi-chan a dog license!

"Alright then, this afternoon we'll..."

"I'm taking Lina to the amusement park this afternoon."

The invitation was once again withdrawn.

Aoi Natsuki also felt that the joke should have gone this far, because at this moment, in his line of sight, Takahashi Mito's face was already flushed red, and she was biting her lip and glaring at him with a look of embarrassment and anger.

Strangely, the favorability rating did not decrease.

A few seconds later, unable to think of anything to say, Takahashi Mito suddenly stood up from the sofa and walked straight towards the entrance hallway: "I'm going back!"

His tone was also laced with anger.

"Wait a moment."

Upon hearing this, Takahashi Mitsu actually stopped, her body trembling slightly. She lowered her head and shrieked, "Ugh! You're so annoying! Don't talk to me!"

After saying that, he started to leave the dining room again, and soon after, the sound of the iron gate being slammed shut outside could be heard.

Ah this...

Aoi Natsuki stood there silently for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into a hearty laugh, even clutching her waist with both hands, as if she had a bit of a stitch in her side.

Seeing this, Lina rushed over, quickly wrote a few words on the writing board, and showed them to him.

"Natsuki, cunning."

"Hahahaha." Aoi Natsuki laughed and shook her head. "She's allowed to mess with me, but I can't mess with her sometimes? It's the first time I've seen her speechless. Hmm... that's really satisfying."

Lina, upon hearing this, pouted and stared at him.

Aoi Natsuki calmed herself down, reached out and patted Rina's head, her tone softening: "Don't worry, I don't mean any harm. Alright, it's about time we headed to Burger King. Are you ready?"

He pinched Lily's cheeks with both hands.

Lina also closed her eyes and made a muffled sound.

……

Monday arrived.

Today is the activity time for the Exploration Club. During the third period of the afternoon, each club will have its own activity room to use.

Aoi Natsuki arrived second. Seeing the dazzling array of strange collectibles inside, she gradually went from feeling terrified to taking it for granted. Meanwhile, Sakurajima Anne, the company president, was already waiting there, wearing a monocle and holding a pair of tweezers in her right hand, carefully repairing the skull of some kind of animal.

Seeing how meticulous she was, Aoi Natsuki closed the door more gently, and it wasn't until she reached the table that the other person noticed.

"You've arrived, Aoi."

"Hmm, you're here quite early. What kind of animal skull is this?" Natsuki Aoi asked, pointing at it.

Instead of answering directly, Anne Sakurajima used tweezers to glue the last piece of the fragment to the gap with super glue. Success! A look of joy appeared on her face.

I got up, picked it up, and gazed at it as if it were a work of art.

After a long while, he slowly spoke, "This is the skull of a deer. It took me a lot of effort to get my hands on it."

"Deer, huh..."

Immediately afterwards, Sakurajima Anne picked it up and placed it on the cabinet next to her, then bowed reverently to it.

This left Aoi Natsuki somewhat puzzled.

"What are you doing...?"

Anne Sakurajima turned around, her captivating eyes staring straight at him. She parted her lips and said, "Always have a sense of awe for death."

Suddenly the topic became more profound.

At this moment, Natsuki Aoi suddenly remembered his previous guess: was Anne Sakurajima the goddess? From all aspects, she was detached from worldly affairs and had unique hobbies. Recalling the first time he met her, it was the same. She appeared in front of him as if she had fallen from the sky, and everything came so suddenly.

Her aura is very similar to that of the Goddess, so Aoi Natsuki often guesses that she is the Goddess.

However, he needs to observe for a while longer. The other party only gave him one chance to guess, so given his steady personality, these doubts are far from enough.

bang——

The classroom door opened again, and Keiko Hayakawa and Mito Takahashi arrived.

That completes the four-person club.

After discussing it, the group rejected several proposals. They had heard Sakurajima Anne tell some unbelievable urban legends two or three times before, which made the other two girls' hair stand on end. They couldn't let it turn out like that again!

It's not a ghost story club!

"The monthly exam is coming up, how about we switch to reviewing instead?"

"I second that."

"I second that."

"How...how could this happen..." Sakurajima An put her head down on the table, but the three to one vote in that instant negated her vote. There was nothing she could do but accept it.

Of the four, Hayakawa had the best grades. Because he was relatively low-profile, he spent more time on his studies. He was ranked in the top 30 out of more than 300 students, which was quite good.

Secondly, there's Natsuki Aoi, who ranked around 110th in the entrance exam, which is also in the upper-middle range.
