Chapter 559

~7 min read 1,223 words

Always appearing suddenly and leaving suddenly.

Indeed very mysterious.

However, every time she appeared, it didn't seem to be entirely a "good thing."

When Natsume Chikage was preparing to return upstairs alone to confirm whether the scene was true as he reasoned, Yukimura Suzune took the initiative to walk to his side.

"I... will go too."

Natsume Chikage was a little surprised:

"Are you sure?"

Yukimura Suzune nodded seriously, her eyes firm:

"Mm."

"Xiyuanji Qilai, Aoi, you two go to the library to check the materials. We'll gather in the activity room later."

Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai and Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui looked at each other, both understanding Yukimura Suzune's serious personality, guessing that she probably wanted to go up and verify it herself.

The two didn't think much more and agreed.

Soon.

Natsume Chikage and Yukimura Suzune took photos of the elevator and came to the fifth floor again.

They walked along the corridor and took quite a few material photos for the upcoming literary publication.

When they were taking photos, Natsume Chikage noticed scattered spider webs hanging in the corners of the walls.

He wasn't surprised—spiders as creatures had survived for so long, almost any corner could be adapted to, and it was normal to appear in the old school building.

Not long after.

The two came to the door of the classroom mentioned by Natsume Chikage earlier where the door lock was loose and could be twisted open with a little force.

After pushing the door and entering.

Soon.

They discovered several suspicious "balloon" packages covered in dust in the corner behind the classroom.

The moment Yukimura Suzune saw these things, her cheeks suddenly turned hot.

Her cold eyes couldn't help but glance quickly at Natsume Chikage beside her.

Only then did she clearly realize that they were alone here.

Natsume Chikage was as usual—after all, he had already glimpsed these "evidences" when he was reasoning earlier, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to be so sure.

He took out his phone directly, adjusted the angle, and clearly took photos of them.

Yukimura Suzune, who was on the side, looked at his calm movements and completely understood in her heart that Natsume Chikage's reasoning was almost the truth.

Since the rumors of the "Seven Wonders" spread, whether it was teachers or students, they were probably rarely set foot here.

The interior of the old school building was quite dusty, clearly lacking cleaning, and no fresh footprints could be seen on the ground.

Even if someone bold came in, if they didn't try hard to twist the classroom door lock, they wouldn't find anything and would leave soon.

This allowed these "truths" that should have been easily discovered to be preserved until now.

How ironic...

"Taken, let's go."

"... Mm."

The two prepared to leave.

However, just as they turned around, a large spider that was weaving a web suddenly hung down from the ceiling, just hanging in front of Yukimura Suzune.

Yukimura Suzune, who was always cold and calm, was startled by this sudden situation and screamed, dodging backward in a panic, but accidentally tripped over some debris on the ground.

Losing her balance, she was about to fall backward.

She closed her eyes tightly in fear, but the expected impact pain didn't come, and instead she bumped into a solid and warm embrace.

"Are you okay?"

Yukimura Suzune, who was still in shock, opened her eyes slowly and found that she was actually lying in Natsume Chikage's arms, her cold face turning bright red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She bounced away like an electric shock, quickly tidied up her somewhat messy hair and skirt, and said with forced calmness:

"I, I'm fine."

"Let's keep going."

After speaking, she walked quickly to the front, deliberately taking a big detour, avoiding the spider from afar.

Natsume Chikage saw this and didn't take this little episode to heart, just felt a little surprised that Yukimura Suzune was afraid of spiders.

After all, this girl who didn't even seem afraid of ghost rumors was actually afraid of spiders?

And at this time, Yukimura Suzune, who was walking in front, didn't dare to look back at all, and didn't dare to look at Natsume Chikage.

Her cheeks were still burning, and her heart was beating wildly in her chest without any rules.

If she looked back now, she was afraid that he would discover her panic and abnormality.

After a period of time.

The Collection Club's activity ended completely.

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui stretched her body and asked expectantly:

"Natsume-kun, you don't need to go to the coffee shop to work today, right? What are your plans next?"

"If not, how about we go out and hang out for a while?"

Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai heard this, only then realized, and also showed an expectant expression, her gaze circulating between Natsume Chikage and Yukimura Suzune.

"Mm-hmm, I think it's okay."

"Suzune, what do you think?"

Yukimura Suzune, who was always cold, didn't refuse immediately this time either.

"Later... indeed nothing to do. I don't care."

However, Natsume Chikage shook his head:

"You three go."

"I have already made an appointment with Senior Yasui and Senior Araki today, so I'm afraid I can't. Next time."

The smile on Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui's face instantly froze, and then she drooped her shoulders like a deflated ball:

"Alright..."

She had actually secretly looked forward to going out and playing with Natsume-kun for a long time, but didn't expect that even if he didn't work, he had arrangements early on.

It seems she has to confirm his free time in advance next time.

Sister Xiyuan Si Xiyuanji Qilai heard this and couldn't help but feel a little regretful:

"Is that so..."

Yukimura Suzune's cold face also seemed to flash a trace of unhappiness.

Natsume Chikage arrived at the Hibiya Subway Station entrance according to the message sent by Yasui Ryouto on his phone.

It was the peak commuting time, and the subway station was crowded with people, and office workers were in a hurry.

As soon as he arrived at the agreed place, he saw Yasui Ryouto and Araki Keiai waving hard at him in the crowd.

And what surprised him even more was that a familiar figure was standing beside them—Tsukishima Rin.

Natsume Chikage was stunned for a moment and walked over quickly.

"Senior Tsukishima, why are you here too?"

A faint blush appeared on Tsukishima Rin's intellectual and gentle face, and she explained softly:

"Just happened to meet Keiai on the way home, so they invited me to join... said to go out for a meal and hang out by the way."

Araki Keiai laughed and asked teasingly:

"Why, Rin-chan is here too, do you mind, Natsume-kun?"

Yasui Ryouto had secretly admired Tsukishima Rin, and wished she could accompany them, so he snatched to say:

"How is that possible, how could he mind! Right, Natsume-kun?"

Natsume Chikage shook his head:

"Of course not."

"I couldn't be more welcome."

Upon hearing this, Tsukishima Rin's mouth corners lifted upward subconsciously, and her mood was clearly cheerful.

Araki Keiai leaned to Natsume Chikage's side, and because of the height difference, she jumped up gently, hooked his shoulder and pulled him down, and whispered in his ear with a "whisper" that only the two could hear:
