Chapter 291

"That's good."

"What about you, Natsume-kun? Is there any problem with next semester's tuition?"

Natsume Ruri shook her head:

"Brother's tuition for next semester isn't settled yet."

"After all, the tuition for the private Moonlight Academy is quite expensive."

Hearing this, Kondo Miyuki smiled gently and suggested:

"Natsume-kun, how about Auntie pays for your tuition for these three years, and you pay me back after you earn money in the future?"

Natsume Ruri's eyes lit up:

"Auntie Miyuki, is this true?"

Kondo Miyuki nodded and smiled:

"Of course, Auntie won't lie to you."

Hearing this, Natsume Ruri happily shook Natsume Chikage, who was beside her.

However, Natsume Chikage knew very well that Kondo Miyuki's husband did not welcome their family at all.

If he really took their family's money for his studies.

He feared there would be endless trouble in the future.

And he would have the opportunity to receive his manuscript fees in a month.

By then, he presumed tuition would no longer be a problem.

So there was absolutely no need to agree.

He tactfully refused:

"We appreciate your kindness, Auntie Miyuki."

"But for now, I still want to rely on my own efforts."

"So... it's still not needed for the time being."

Natsume Ruri was confused and couldn't understand it at all.

But looking at her brother's firm gaze.

She looked helpless, but couldn't say anything more.

But since her brother had already spoken, as his sister, she should never undermine him at this time.

Kondo Miyuki was stunned.

She knew well that Natsume Chikage was currently working part-time at a coffee shop.

And the hourly wage for working at a coffee shop was 800 yen.

At most, it was 8,000 yen a day.

Working for a month without rest would only be 240,000 yen.

And high school has three semesters a year.

The tuition for one semester at the private Moonlight Academy starts at 600,000 to 700,000 yen.

Even if they didn't eat or drink, they still had living expenses.

Not to mention that Natsume-kun still had to go to school and had no time to work part-time.

So it was impossible for Natsume-kun to earn the tuition for the next semester in just two or three months.

But Kondo Miyuki probably understood the psychology of a boy in puberty.

At this age, they are proud and value their dignity very much.

She guessed that Natsume-kun felt that her sudden arrival and sudden offer to help pay tuition hurt his self-esteem...

Kondo Miyuki felt helpless.

She really didn't have that intention.

She truly just couldn't bear to see the two children of her senior, Natsume, reduced to such a dire predicament.

At the same time, she couldn't help but feel cold towards the indifference of the Natsume main family.

Although the Natsume siblings were from the branch family, they were still members of the Natsume family.

Yet the main family really ignored them like this, which was truly excessive...

But it was also fortunate that they didn't care.

If they really did, the situation of these two siblings would probably be no better than their father's back then...

Kondo Miyuki thought for a moment and changed her wording.

"Auntie is really happy to hear that Natsume-kun is willing to work hard and earn tuition yourself."

"But if you really need it, please remember not to force yourself and be sure to tell Auntie."

"As long as you ask, Auntie will help you whenever."

Natsume Chikage replied politely:

"Mm, if that's really the case, I will."

After hearing the reply.

Kondo Miyuki breathed a sigh of relief, fearing he would continue to be stubborn.
