Natsume Takashi's Youth Love Song

You know, there are still many things in the interior space of this bamboo house that have not been dealt with yet.

Although I can go to the toilet now, but... isn't there still the problem of taking a bath that hasn't been solved yet?

So for the next period of time, Natsume’s plan is to solve the problem of bathing.

As for the problem of bathing, Natsume also had an idea in his mind. He thought that it should be solved by buying some accessories.

For example, you can buy a bath tub and put it inside. As for the hot water, boil it outside and then transport it here.

Fortunately, Natsume found a stream not far from the cabin, and he could get enough water with just a little effort.

At the same time, because it is close to the forest, the water source can be said to be quite clean.

After all, natural spring water is fine even if you drink it directly.

Just when Natsume got up, had breakfast, and continued to renovate the cabin, Reiko had already come to Natsume with her baseball bat.

"Natsume, I'm here, are you up?"

After arriving outside Natsume's cabin, Reiko started shouting towards the inside of the house.

"Get up, get up, I'm remodeling my cabin."

Natsume walked out from the side of the hut and waved to Reiko at the door.

"Remodel? What are you remodeling?"

Seeing Natsume's Reiko, she also walked over and asked curiously.

"I plan to add a bathroom to my cabin, so that there will at least be a place to take a bath."

Natsume explained to Reiko.

"Take a bath?"

Reiko widened her eyes and looked at Natsume in disbelief, "You even want to get one of this?"

"Because I think, at least if I take a bath, it's still okay."

Natsume scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

Then, Natsume told Reiko his plan amidst her stunned expression.

"Is this still possible?"

After hearing this, Reiko couldn't help but show a strange expression. What on earth is Natsume's brain like? Why does he have so many strange ideas?

After all, if it were her, she would probably choose to go to the public bath in the city to take a bath, right? There was no way she would choose to solve the problem of taking a bath here.

"In my opinion, it should be possible. Of course, if you want to complete it, you still need to experiment."

Natsume said honestly.

"Then Natsume you are really amazing."

What else could Reiko say about this? She could only admire Natsume.

Anyway, all she had to do was shout 666 after Natsume finished.

"Since you're here, Lingzi, shall we leave here first?"

After thinking for a while, Natsume said to Reiko, "After all, I'm worried that if the two of us stay here, the other party may not come."

"can."

Lingzi nodded and agreed.

Then, the two men closed the door of the hut, moved away from the hut, and hid in the grass beside it, using the lush weeds to hide their bodies.

Time passed little by little under such circumstances, and in a flash, half an hour had passed.

"Why haven't you come here yet?"

Lingzi, who was originally squatting in the grass, is now sitting on the ground. After all, she has been squatting for such a long time and she is really a little tired.

At the same time, Lingzi, who has a low patience, is now feeling a little bored.

"It's been such a long time, and the other party hasn't come yet. Is he not coming today?"

Reiko looked at Natsume beside her and couldn't help but ask.

"This... Lingzi, if you ask me, I don't know either."

Natsume didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After all, he was not the monster, so how could he know what the other party was thinking?

"What? I thought you were omnipotent, Natsume?"

Reiko's expression turned mischievous.

"Stop making fun of me, Reiko."

Natsume was a little helpless. This Reiko, is she really a joker?

"Hey hey hey."

Reiko couldn't help laughing when she saw Natsume's expression.

However, what neither Natsume nor Reiko noticed was that in the forest not far from the cabin, a monster dressed in black with holes where its eyes should be and a "three" on its body appeared at the edge of the forest.

"I'm here~~~~I'm here to eat~~~~"

But just before it walked out of the forest, it suddenly stopped and stood there, sniffing the scent in the distance.

"Not today?"

Although I couldn't see the expression, I could still feel the loss in the other person's words just from the voice.

It waited for a whole day, and then at this point in time, it couldn't wait to rush here, but who would have thought that it didn't get what it wanted.

Even as a monster, a trace of disappointment flashed through his heart.

"If not... then come back tomorrow."

Silently, he turned and left, disappearing into the forest.

...The dividing line where the monsters leave...

Natsume and Reiko waited until lunchtime, and their stomachs started to growl, but the monster still didn't show up.

"Reiko, it's already noon and the monster hasn't appeared yet. Is it possible that he won't come over?"

Natsume looked at the time and found that it was already half past eleven. He turned around and asked Reiko beside him.

"It's very possible."

Lingzi nodded, her face a little pale, her brows furrowed, and she even covered her stomach with her right hand.

"Reiko? What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing Reiko obviously feeling uncomfortable, Natsume became anxious, wondering what was wrong with Reiko.

"It's okay. This is an old problem."

Seeing Natsume's worried look, Reiko showed a slight smile.

However, coupled with her pale face, Lingzi looked very weak at this moment, and did not look like she was fine as she said.

"what's going on?"

Natsume asked seriously.

"It's a stomach problem. It's okay. Just eat something and it will be fine."

Lingzi shook her head slightly to indicate that it was okay.

"Stomach trouble?"

Natsume was stunned for a moment, then he helped Reiko up and said, "Let's go to the city to eat something first. As for the matter of the monster, let's not worry about it now."

Having said that, Natsume didn't care about Reiko's reaction, he supported Reiko and walked towards the city together.

Half an hour later, Lingzi, whose stomach was obviously better after lunch, recovered, but her weak aura was still very obvious.

"Ah, finally alive."

Lingzi sighed at this moment, stomach problems are really uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, Reiko."

Seeing this, Natsume also apologized to Reiko.

"Hey? Why are you saying sorry to me? This isn't your problem, Natsume?"

Reiko tilted her head and looked at Natsume strangely, a little confused. Why did Natsume say sorry?

"If it wasn't for my business, Lingzi, you wouldn't have stayed with me and waited until after dinner time. You didn't even get to eat lunch, right?"

Natsume looked at Reiko and expressed his thoughts.

That's why Natsume felt sorry.

"because this?"

Reiko never thought that Natsume's reason for apologizing was actually because of this. She could not help but stand there in shock.

Then, Lingzi began to shake her head.

"Natsume, you really are a gentle person, right?"

Reiko looked at Natsume and her eyes softened.

"Gentle?"

Listening to Reiko's words, Natsume shook his head. After all, in Natsume's opinion, Reiko was the first person he had ever met who was so gentle to him.

Maybe Reiko herself doesn't know what kind of position she holds in Natsume's heart and how important she is.

After finishing lunch, Reiko took the initiative to pay the bill. After all, she couldn't keep eating Natsume's food. If she continued, even Reiko would feel embarrassed.

After eating lunch, Lingzi's stomach recovered.

Then, Reiko had the energy to continue talking about the monster.

"By the way, why didn't that monster come today?"

Reiko began to think about this problem.

"Could it be because there is no food in the cabin?"

After thinking for a while, Natsume expressed his thoughts.

"No food?"

Lingzi was stunned for a moment and was a little unresponsive.

"Yes, you see, didn't we have dinner the day before yesterday? Then there were a lot of ingredients left, and the next day, the monster appeared and took away the remaining food."

Natsume explained the situation.

“It seems… it really makes sense, huh?”

After hearing Natsume's analysis, Reiko nodded thoughtfully, thinking that this possibility was still very high.

"What should we do then? Do we need to buy some ingredients and put them in your cabin?"

Thinking of this, Reiko couldn't help but look at Natsume and asked.

"I think we can give it a try."

Natsume nodded, then he thought of something and showed a trace of heartache, "Of course, I won't buy such expensive ingredients anymore."

Speaking of this, Natsume felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. You know, those ingredients were very expensive, and even the leftovers were still worth a lot.

"Hahahahaha."

Looking at Natsume's heartbroken expression, Reiko couldn't help but laugh. It was really funny to see Natsume like this.

After resting for a while and making sure that she had fully recovered, Reiko stood up and looked at Natsume in front of her.

"Since you have made your decision, see you tomorrow. I will come at the same time as today."

Reiko said to Natsume with a smile.

"Hey? Aren't we going to have dinner together tonight?"
