Chapter 442

"Auntie Miyuki, you can stop here."

Kondo Miyuki paused, as if she still wanted to say something, but in the end, she just smiled gently:

"Natsume-kun, Ruri-chan, your house is only about twenty minutes away from ours."

"It's actually not far."

"You two siblings are living alone now, so there must be many times when you feel things are tricky and difficult to handle."

"No matter how big or small the matter is, as long as you can't make up your mind, please don't hesitate too much, you must call Auntie."

"After all, Auntie is your elder, I watched you grow up, so as long as Auntie can help, I will definitely try my best to help you."

Natsume Chikage felt this sincere concern and thanked her earnestly:

"Thank you. If there is a need, we definitely will."

Natsume Ruri also had a good impression of this gentle Auntie Miyuki and nodded politely in thanks:

"Thank you, Auntie Miyuki. Hearing you say this, Ruri feels really warm in her heart."

"Please continue to take care of us in the future."

Kondo Miyuki, hearing this, showed a satisfied smile:

"Yeah, yeah."

"Must remember, if there is anything, you can tell Auntie at any time."

Natsume Chikage and Natsume Ruri waved and said goodbye to Kondo Miyuki:

"Yeah, goodbye, Auntie Miyuki."

"See you next time, Auntie Miyuki."

After speaking.

The siblings turned and walked side by side into the street shrouded in night.

Kondo Miyuki stood in place, watching their figures go further and further away.

Until their backs completely disappeared at the corner of the street, she prepared to turn and go upstairs.

However, just at this moment.

She caught a glimpse of Akita Sana running out of the hallway in a hurry alone, and couldn't help but be surprised:

"Sana-chan? Why did you come down alone?"

"Aren't you going shopping with my Miki?"

Akita Sana held the magazine tightly in her arms, panting slightly, and asked:

"Auntie Miyuki, where are Natsume-kun and the others? Which way did they go?"

Kondo Miyuki pointed in the direction the siblings had left:

"They have already walked for a while, they are at that corner ahead. Do you have any urgent matter to find them for?"

Akita Sana, hearing this, a hint of urgency flashed on her face, and she thanked her hurriedly:

"Thank you, Auntie Miyuki! I'll go find them first, let's talk later!"

Saying this.

She stepped forward like a nimble little deer and trotted in that direction.

At this time.

Kondo Miyuki noticed that what Akita Sana was holding tightly in her arms was exactly that combat magazine, and she stood frozen in place.

She had originally thought that since Natsume Chikage liked this magazine, she would have her daughter find an opportunity to give it to him later to bring them together.

But now… how could it be in Akita Sana's hands?

Before she could think carefully and ask.

Akita Sana's figure had already run far away and disappeared around the corner.

However, when Akita Sana ran to the corner panting, what was in front of her was a bustling street with people coming and going.

The city at night was crowded with people, and the lights were flickering; she tried hard to stand on tiptoe to look, but she couldn't find the figures of Natsume Chikage and his sister in the bustling crowd at all.

Witnessing this scene, a sense of loss and helplessness surged in her heart.

She just felt that when she was at the Kondo house just now, she should have gathered the courage to ask Natsume-kun for his contact information.

If she had, she would at least be able to contact him by phone now.

However… it didn't matter.

Anyway, she had to go to school tomorrow, so she would just…

Akita Sana was suddenly stunned, and only then did she remember that tomorrow was Saturday, and Natsume Chikage had to ask for leave to participate in the shogi tournament.

The earliest she could see him would be Monday.

Akita Sana pouted her little mouth in annoyance, then comforted herself, thinking Monday was Monday.

By then, she could just take the opportunity to give him the magazine and ask for his contact information logically.

Just as she was holding the magazine, walking back slowly, and returning downstairs to the apartment.

She saw Kondo Miki already waiting there, hands on her hips, with a clearly annoyed look on her face:

"I just heard from my dad that you bought that magazine and said you wanted to give it to Natsume-kun?"

"Are you crazy?"

"This is 100,000 yen! It's not a small amount of money like 1,000 or 2,000 yen! Why are you doing this for him?"

Akita Sana looked at her angry best friend and smiled instead, looking as if it were a matter of course:

"100,000 yen isn't much to me anyway."

"And… liking someone is liking someone, do I need any other reason?"

Kondo Miki was truly speechless to the extreme.

This fangirl best friend of hers, she had clearly been trying to stop her from pursuing Natsume Chikage.

Why was it that the more she stopped her, the deeper this girl fell?

"Anyway, Natsume-kun said it himself, he would come back to buy it. Aren't you doing something unnecessary?"

"Hurry up and take it back, exchange the 100,000 yen back from my dad, it's not necessary, you know?"

Akita Sana held the magazine in her arms even tighter, humming and shaking her head repeatedly:

"No! I've already bought it, if I go back to ask Uncle for the money, wouldn't that be embarrassing for Uncle?"

"And… I was thinking of taking this opportunity to have more contact with Natsume-kun."

"Didn't you say you were going to help me?"

"Shouldn't you be praising me for being witty now?"

This idiot…

Kondo Miki was almost driven crazy with anger.

But she had indeed said she would "help" before, and at this moment, she was speechless, not knowing how to scold this stubborn fool.

She could only stare wide-eyed, looking at Akita Sana angrily and helplessly.

Finally, she thought somewhat tiredly: Forget it.

It's better to guide than to block.

Just let her be.

If she really obstructed her too much, she might lose this good best friend of many years instead.

It would be better to let this silly girl hit a wall herself.

When she knows there's no hope and really cries, she will naturally come back obediently by then.

Anyway, Natsume Chikage currently doesn't seem to have any intention of dating any girl at all.

Otherwise, with so many girls pursuing him at school, he would have already agreed.

Even Tsukishima-senpai couldn't successfully pursue Natsume Chikage.

This was already the case even when she hadn't really obstructed him much.

As for this silly best friend of hers?

Kondo Miki didn't believe she could succeed!
