Chapter 6

Yamamoto Koji wanted to say something, but was glared back by Fujiwara Aoi, so he had to say nothing more.

After all, this Fujiwara Aoi was the daughter of the owner of this coffee shop chain, and her family was very wealthy.

He was just an ordinary manager; he had some say over ordinary employees, but he couldn't say a word to this Fujiwara Aoi.

Natsume Chikage asked.

"Manager, what kind of coffee beans should I get?"

Yamamoto Koji scratched his head.

"Just get the one we usually use."

"Mm."

Hearing this, Natsume Chikage breathed a sigh of relief and immediately left the side of those girls.

To be honest, the manager had done him a huge favor.

Otherwise, he didn't know how long he would have been pestered.

Soon.

After Natsume Chikage came out.

Fujiwara Aoi smiled and said to Natsume Chikage: "Natsume-kun, I'll teach you how to make a certain coffee now, let the manager entertain in the front for now."

"Is the manager okay by himself?" Natsume Chikage asked.

Yamamoto Koji laughed it off: "It's fine, you two go ahead..."

As a newcomer who had only been working at the coffee shop for a few days, Natsume Chikage had no opinion on this.

When it wasn't busy, he basically had to learn things about the coffee shop.

But when it was busy, it was basically just working all the time.

After being busy for a long time, it was already approaching the end of the shift.

Natsume Chikage suddenly heard someone calling his name at the counter.

"Natsume-kun?" A female voice with a hint of surprise came.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

What came into view was a woman, about thirty years old, with a beautiful face and a graceful demeanor.

It was a beautiful lady with exquisite makeup—Kondo Miyuki.

Natsume Chikage remembered this Kondo Miyuki; she seemed to be a junior of his predecessor's father at school.

But compared to this person, what he remembered more deeply was her daughter, Kondo Miki.

When the family was rich in the past, they would sometimes hold banquets to entertain others.

At that time, Kondo Miyuki would bring her daughter, Kondo Miki, to visit their home.

Also because Kondo Miki had an outstanding appearance and was about the same age as his predecessor.

On the first day Kondo Miki came, his predecessor had already fallen in love with her at first sight.

Only at this time would his predecessor basically not stay in his room playing games, but would take the initiative to stay at the banquet.

But it was a pity that his predecessor's personality was quite gloomy and dull; even at the banquet, he couldn't chat much with Kondo Miki.

"Natsume-kun, you... you are Natsume Chikage, right?" Kondo Miyuki, who had just finished ordering coffee, asked tentatively.

"It's me, Aunt Kondo, long time no see." Natsume Chikage replied politely.

"Is it really you?" Kondo Miyuki covered her small mouth, her eyes full of surprise and delight.

She hadn't expected at all that Natsume Chikage, whom she hadn't seen for half a year, would suddenly become so handsome.

However, she was very clear that the Natsume family had already gone bankrupt and his father had died of depression because of it.

Thinking of this, Kondo Miyuki sighed deeply in her heart, only feeling that this was truly a pitiful child...

Kondo Miyuki looked at Natsume Chikage and thought that since they had met, she asked: "Natsume-kun, is it convenient to talk now?"

"It's convenient." Natsume Chikage chatted with Fujiwara Aoi on the side, saying he would be away for a moment.

"Mm-hmm, no problem." Fujiwara Aoi replied with a smile, but her gaze couldn't help but secretly peek at the two of them.

Hearing this, Natsume Chikage and Kondo Miyuki went to a corner of the coffee shop.

"Natsume-kun, are you free tonight?" Kondo Miyuki asked directly.

"Is there something going on?" Natsume Chikage asked back.

Kondo Miyuki suggested: "How about coming to Auntie's house for a meal tonight?"

"...A meal?" Natsume Chikage was a bit troubled.

To be honest, this was too sudden.

And thinking about it, he didn't seem to have any purpose in going over.

"Ah, sorry, this is indeed a bit sudden, right?" Kondo Miyuki also seemed to see something, smiled and apologized, then explained: "Actually, Auntie has some things your father left behind, and I can return them to you while I'm at it."

"At the time, I actually wanted to return them to you, but when I went to your house, I found that you had already moved..."

"And your family also entertained our family quite a few times, now that we've finally met, I have to entertain you, otherwise I'll really feel bad."

"Also, do you remember my daughter? She's going to be a freshman in high school this year, just like you. Auntie was thinking that it would be nice for you two to catch up since you haven't seen each other for a long time. What do you think?"

Natsume Chikage pondered for a moment.

He didn't have any feelings for Kondo Miki, whom his predecessor had a crush on.

After all, the predecessor was the predecessor, and he was him.

So he wouldn't go over specifically to see Kondo Miki.

However, his sister attached great importance to the relics left by their parents.

Unfortunately, because of the bankruptcy, most of the things in the house had been sold off.

This resulted in there not being many relics left to keep.

At that time, his sister had been sad for a long time because of this.

If he could bring back the relics that Kondo Miyuki mentioned, his sister would probably be happier.

"Then I'll say thank you for the trouble in advance." Natsume Chikage agreed.

"That's great, then let's exchange contact information first, and I'll send you my home address later." Kondo Miyuki smiled slightly.

"Okay." Natsume Chikage took his phone out of his pocket and added Kondo Miyuki's contact information.

"After I finish my coffee, I'll go back to buy ingredients to prepare dinner. You must remember to come after you get off work, otherwise Auntie will be unhappy~"

"Mm, I will be there on time!"

After chatting.

Natsume Chikage went back to continue working.

And Kondo Miyuki sat in her seat, quietly observing Natsume Chikage's work situation, her eyes full of appreciation, thinking that this child had finally grown up; compared to the gloomy and dull appearance he had before, he was indeed much better now.

It's just that he seems to have grown a bit too handsome now...

Kondo Miyuki had only been sitting there for a few minutes, and she could see several pretty young ladies taking the initiative to ask for Natsume Chikage's contact information.

She was silent for a moment, then finished her coffee and left the shop.

And Natsume Chikage also continued to return to his post and work busily.

Not long after he returned.

Fujiwara Aoi couldn't suppress the curiosity in her heart.

"Natsume-kun, that person just now looked so mature and beautiful, could she be your relative? Why did she suddenly come to find you?"

"Not a relative, just an elder I know." Natsume Chikage shook his head and explained the situation slightly.

"So that's why, you're going over to get the relics of your family members." Fujiwara Aoi breathed a sigh of relief. There had been many girls who had chatted him up before and he hadn't given them his contact information, but now he had actually given it to that beautiful lady?

So she had thought he was being kept by some wealthy woman after seeing Natsume Chikage give the beautiful lady his contact information, which was why she couldn't help but ask.

Fujiwara Aoi suddenly thought of something and asked curiously:

"By the way, Natsume-kun, you've been working for a few days, but you haven't mentioned which high school you're attending."

"Private Moonlight Academy, why?"

"Eh, you're actually attending that one too?" Fujiwara Aoi's expression was full of surprise, "Don't tell me you're also going to be a freshman?"

Natsume Chikage was a bit surprised. "Don't tell me you are too?"

"Mm-hmm, we're the same!" Fujiwara Aoi said happily, "I wonder if we'll be assigned to the same class when school starts."

"It would indeed be nice to have someone I know in the same class." Natsume Chikage nodded and smiled.

Fujiwara Aoi's eyes turned lively, and she took out her phone, asking with some anticipation and shyness: "Since we're at the same school and working in the same place, why don't we exchange contact information now? Maybe we'll need to help each other ask for leave or something in the future..."

"Of course." Natsume Chikage took out his phone and exchanged contact information with Fujiwara Aoi.

Fujiwara Aoi looked at Natsume Chikage's LINE profile picture, her face filled with an extremely happy smile.
