Chapter 619

Near four o'clock in the afternoon.

On the cherry blossom long road of Private Moonlight Academy, it has been dyed with the warm golden-red tone of the sunset.

The sparse cherry blossoms seemed transparent in the afterglow, flashing with soft halos.

The baseball field on the left side of the long road still heard the crisp sound of hitting the ball and the energetic shouts of the team members.

The music building on the right side drifted out fragments of practice pieces from the students of the orchestra club, melodious and intermittent.

At this time.

Students ending club activities or duty in twos and threes, carrying school bags, walked on the way home.

Natsume Chikage, Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui, Yukimura Suzune, and Xiyuanji Qilai also walked side by side among them.

Xiyuanji Qilai suddenly remembered something and turned her head to ask:

"By the way, Xia Mu-jun, are you going to participate in the shogi tournament tomorrow, right?"

Natsume Chikage nodded:

"Hmm, yes. What's wrong?"

Xiyuanji Qilai continued to ask:

"Specifically which session is it? Morning, noon, or afternoon?"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui also immediately leaned closer, full of concern:

"That's right, that's right! If it's the noon or evening session, we might be able to watch the live broadcast online! If it's the morning... we still have to go to class, so we can't."

Yukimura Suzune didn't speak, but her gaze also fell quietly on Natsume Chikage, waiting for his answer.

Natsume Chikage showed a trace of subtle helplessness on his face:

"It is... the first session in the morning."

The three girls heard this, and their expressions became a bit complicated, mixed with "sure enough" and faint regret.

Xiyuanji Qilai scratched her cheek and smiled helplessly:

"Sure enough, it's the same as last time... both are the earliest sessions."

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui pouted her cheeks with some annoyance:

"If it were randomized to the afternoon session, then I could rush to the scene to cheer for you right after school!"

Yukimura Suzune said softly and thoughtfully:

"If it's the third session, the time is indeed enough."

Xiyuanji Qilai clenched her little fist, her expression became serious, looking at Natsume Chikage:

"However, no matter when the game is—I will definitely cheer for you tomorrow!"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui also immediately raised her thumb energetically, her face filled with a bright smile:

"Hmm! Me too! Xia Mu-jun, cheer up!"

Yukimura Suzune, who was always cold, moved her gaze away from Natsume Chikage's face for a moment, then turned it back, and said in a voice slightly softer than usual:

"Tomorrow's game... please cheer up."

Natsume Chikage felt the encouragement from the three companions, warmth flowed in his heart, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you all. I will definitely go all out."

Late at night.

The neon lights on the streets of Shibuya were flashing, and the flow of people getting off work had gradually thinned.

Natsume Chikage and Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui, who had finished working at the coffee shop, were walking side by side on the way back to the apartment.

The night wind carried a hint of coolness, blowing gently.

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui liked this feeling very much, but what she cherished more was the person beside her, and this short but only belonging to their two people's walking time.

She even calculated in her heart whether to find another excuse of "wanting to see the progress of Ruri-chan's manga" and go to Xia Mu-jun's house to stay for a while tonight.

Soon, the two walked to the downstairs of the apartment building where Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui lived.

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui took a deep breath and was about to speak.

Just at this moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of the road.

I saw Kondo Miyuki, carrying a small handbag, walking elegantly toward the direction of Natsume Chikage's house.

When she saw Natsume Chikage and Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui walking side by side, her footsteps paused slightly, and a trace of complicated emotion flashed on her face.

Immediately, she restored her gentle smile and took the initiative to greet them.

"Xia Mu-jun, Fujiwara junior, just got off work?"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui hurriedly nodded politely to greet:

"Good evening, Aunt Miyuki."

Natsume Chikage was a bit surprised:

"Aunt Miyuki, good evening. It's so late, are you...?"

Kondo Miyuki gently tucked the hair blown by the night wind, smiled, and explained:

"Didn't I tell you before that I wanted to play shogi with you and taste your sister's craft?"

"I happened to be shopping with my best friend nearby today, my husband is on a business trip, and Miki that child also went to Sana's house to spend the night."

"I was cold and clear at home alone, so I thought I would come over to play two games of chess with you, and by the way, see that child Ruri. It won't disturb you, right?"

Natsume Chikage had always had a good impression of Aunt Miyuki, and immediately responded:

"Of course not, you are welcome."

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui, who originally wanted to go to his house, instantly petrified.

The words on her lips were blocked back hard.

Looking at Aunt Kondo Miyuki's gentle but irresistible smile, Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui understood that her "surprise visit" plan tonight was completely ruined.

She pouted her mouth quietly with some disappointment, but soon cheered up again, putting on an energetic smiling face.

"Xia Mu-jun, then I'll go back first!"

She waved her hand, her voice still bright.

"Tomorrow's game, you must cheer up! I will definitely support you!"

"Aunt Miyuki, goodbye!"

Natsume Chikage and Kondo Miyuki both nodded to say goodbye to her.

"Hmm, walk carefully, Fujiwara."

"Goodbye, Fujiwara junior, come to Aunt's house to play next time."
