Chapter 63

“Huh?” Shirakawa Natsu was taken aback, her hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and she began to quickly think about the current situation.

Kanna Hojo is quite cute; who can resist a timid, big-breasted girl?

But it’s just a matter of having a good impression; it’s definitely not love yet.

Besides, her app is about NTR (Netorare, a genre of online romance), not pure romance. She hasn’t even started dating Miyuki yet, and she wouldn’t get any points even if she did.

Good grief, did I raise my favorability rating too fast?

When Hojo Kanna heard him fall silent, she immediately chuckled and said, “Sorry, I guess I still can’t confess to people as easily as Mikoto. Natsu-san, please forget what you just said.”

“Haha.” Shirakawa Natsu chuckled dryly. He had originally planned to call and ask what was going on, but ended up in an awkward situation.

Kanna Hojo’s voice continued to come from the other end of the microphone: “Even though I know she changes girlfriends often, I don’t hate her because of it.”

She paused for a moment, her tone suddenly becoming lighter: “I guess I still can’t interact with her the way Mikoto Kumi does, Natsu, I think we seem quite similar.”

“Is it possible that Miyuki is just a little special?” Shirakawa Natsu didn’t even dare to continue the conversation with her, as the current situation had completely exceeded his script.

“Probably,” Kanna Hojo said softly. “I think two people who are similar to each other are more likely to be happy together.”

“After all, everyone’s definition of happiness is different.” Shirakawa Natsu started making conversation, realizing he had to end the conversation, otherwise it would be dangerous if it continued.

“No need to comfort me, Natsumi,” Kanna Hojo said softly. “Love seems to be harder to understand than classical Chinese. I’ll treat it as a topic and think about it carefully. Have a good day, thank you.”

“No need, it was Jingu Nao who bought the tickets.” Shirakawa Natsu quickly brought up Jingu Nao to calm her down.

“Okay, see you tomorrow.” After saying goodbye, Kanna Hojo hung up the phone.

Shirakawa Natsuki held his phone in silence; the unfolding of events always exceeded his expectations.

Kanna Hojo appears timid and shy when speaking to people, but she is surprisingly brave.

He was truly at a loss as to what to do next.

If I can win over Kanna Hojo and then have her approach Mikoto, I wonder if “Master’s Mission” will count towards the completion points.

Of course, these are just thoughts.

The next day arrived quickly, and Shirakawa Natsu was still troubled in his seat. This time, Jingu Nao didn’t bother him and disappeared after class.

Outside the library, on the lawn, Kanna Hojo bowed deeply to Nao Jingu.

“Hehe, let’s go, the weather is really nice today.” Jingu Nao took Hojo Kanna’s hand.

I took her hand and we strolled around the campus together.

“I confessed to Natsu yesterday.” Kanna Hojo said timidly, her head down, not daring to look at Nao Jingu.

“I know.” Jingu Nao just smiled indifferently, cheerfully greeting acquaintances she passed by, showing no signs of anger.

Kanna Hojo was taken aback, her face flushing red: “Did Natsu tell you?”

“No, he didn’t say anything. He looked troubled all day.” Jingu Nao looked at Hojo Kanna. “But it’s written all over your face, so I’m not surprised.”

“I’m sorry, Jingu, I didn’t mean to provoke you or anything. You’re my only friend at school.” Kanna Hojo quickly said, “I’m sorry, I’ll be mindful of my distance from Natsu and won’t cause you any trouble.”

After finishing her sentence, Kanna Hojo lowered her head and said, “I’ve felt very uneasy ever since I said that yesterday.”

Jingu Nao suddenly asked, “Do you really want to date Natsu?”

Kanna Hojo was stunned and stood there at a loss.

“It’s alright.” Jingu Nao smiled and took her hand, sitting down by the bushes. “We’re friends.”

Kanna Hojo’s face showed a moment of struggle, then she nodded seriously.

“Do you like him?” Jingu Nao asked again.

After hesitating for a long time, Hojo Kanna gritted her teeth and said, “When I’m sad or lonely, the person I want to see most is him. That’s why I like him.”

After finishing her sentence, Hojo Kanna quickly added, “However, I will not go near him again, Miss Jingu, please rest assured.”

“It’s okay.” Jingu Nao shook her head: “Love cannot be happy if only one person is involved. If you try to watch over the other person like you would a pet, then it is no longer love.”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Kanna Hojo: “If you want to pursue Natsu, you can, don’t worry about me.”

“No, I…” Kanna Hojo quickly shook her head.

“You should tell him yourself,” Jingu Nao said with a smile. “He’ll be here soon.”

Less than three minutes after she finished speaking, Shirakawa Natsu ran over from a distance.

“Nao, why did you text me to come over?” Shirakawa Natsu saw Hojo Kanna behind her and felt inexplicably embarrassed when she thought about what happened yesterday.

Kanna Hojo was equally surprised and immediately lowered her head.

“Alright, let’s have a private chat then.” Jingu Nao said with a grin, taking Shirakawa Natsu’s hand and pushing him in front of Hojo Kanna.

Then, skipping and hopping, he ran off into the distance. Halfway there, he turned back and made a face at Shirakawa Natsu: “You two are not a good match at all.”

“Hey, you!” Shirakawa Natsu felt embarrassed, but Jingu Nao had already run far away.

He could only awkwardly turn around and look at Kanna Hojo.

She remained timid, lowering her head and avoiding eye contact with Shirakawa Natsu.

“Um, if there’s nothing else, I’ll…” Shirakawa Natsu pointed into the distance. He didn’t want to be alone with Hojo Kanna right now; if their affection level continued to rise, it would be troublesome.

For others, it’s a relationship; for him, it’s life itself.

“No, wait.” Kanna Hojo suddenly grabbed his sleeve: “I like you.”

“Oh dear.” Shirakawa Natsu felt a pang of anxiety. What she feared most had come to pass, even though she appeared timid on the outside.

Why are you so brave when it comes to relationships?

Just as he was about to refuse, his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a message from Nao Jingu.

After reading the information, Shirakawa Natsu’s expression instantly turned strange. She looked at it carefully again to make sure it was correct before silently putting her phone away.

Kanna Hojo held onto the hem of his clothes with one hand, her head bowed, as if she had used up all her strength.

“Ahem.” Shirakawa Natsu coughed lightly twice, her gaze wandering, and said uncertainly, “You should like Miyuki, right?”

“Yes.” Kanna Hojo didn’t deny it, but didn’t dare to look at Natsu Shirakawa: “But I want to be with Natsu.”

“I understand.” Shirakawa Natsu nodded and took her hand in return. “Well, this is not a simple question after all. Please come back and think about it carefully before telling me your answer.”

“Ah!” Kanna Hojo’s face was full of surprise. She never thought that Natsu Shirakawa would accept her confession.

Shirakawa Natsu’s words caught her off guard.

Shirakawa Natsumi spoke much more smoothly this time: “Just like I said, two people need to carefully consider being together. Treat understanding your own heart as a subject, go back and think about it carefully, and then give me your answer.”

“Th…thank you.” Kanna Hojo’s expression was complicated as she asked softly, “What about Nao Jingu?”

“She and I aren’t what you imagine.” Shirakawa Natsu waved her hand. “Anyway, you don’t need to worry about so much. Just don’t come to an answer you’ll regret.”

“Okay, okay.” Hojo Kanna relaxed after hearing this; her friend’s boyfriend had put a lot of pressure on her.

“This weekend, I’ll wait for your answer.” After saying that, Shirakawa Natsu waved to her and hurriedly left.

After taking a few steps, his pace quickened, and he finally ran into the corner of the library.

Jingu Nao was standing there with a grin, holding her phone.

“Hey, what are you doing? Why did you make me say something like that?” Shirakawa Natsu asked, frowning.

What he just said was sent to him by Jingu Nao, who said she had a way to reconcile Miyuki and Hojo Kanna.

Shirakawa Natsu was unwilling, but he had no other choice at the moment, so he subconsciously did as Jingu Nao had told him in the text message.

“La la la~ Look what this is~” Jingu Nao laughed as she took out her phone, which was playing a video of Hojo Kanna confessing her love to Shirakawa Natsu.

Shirakawa Natsumi’s expression was strange: “How did you manage to film it so clearly?”

“Hehe, of course I need to take a clear picture, otherwise Miyuki won’t be able to see it clearly.” Jingu Nao said with a smile and opened her contacts.

“Hey, what do you think you’re doing?” Shirakawa Natsu quickly reached out to stop him.

“Of course, we should give them a push.” Jingu Nao waved her phone in her hand: “We often only understand our own hearts when we lose something.”

After saying that, Jingu Nao gave a thumbs up: “Don’t worry, it definitely won’t crash.”

“Wait a minute.” Shirakawa Natsumi thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go to my house tonight, and I’ll show her the video then.”

Shirakawa Natsu wasn’t sure how Miyuki would react after seeing the video. This brother seemed like a cold older sister on the outside, but he was actually very soft-hearted and considerate of others. He would always feel uneasy if he didn’t keep an eye on her.

“Go to the Xia family?” Jingu Nao’s eyes lit up, and she fidgeted. “If the person is Xia, that’s fine too, but I’m not ready yet.”

“Stop messing around.” Shirakawa Natsu looked speechless, her expression turning complicated as she looked at Jingu Nao.

These are things that ordinary girls cannot do. Why would she do them?

“Are you wondering why I did this?” Jingu Nao saw through his thoughts at a glance.

Shirakawa Natsumi touched her head; it was hard to hide her thoughts from her.

“Hehe.” Jingu Nao walked up and touched her forehead to his chest: “Houjo Kanna will make a choice, Miyuki will make a choice, and I am also waiting for Natsu to make a choice.”

After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes, leaned against Shirakawa Natsu’s chest, and said, “I will stand by Natsu’s side. When you fall in love with someone, your heart is filled and there is no room for another person. Has Natsu’s heart been filled by me?”

Shirakawa Natsu was taken aback, then reached out and hugged her without saying a word.

He knew that his heart was not filled by Jingu Nao; it was filled by Hashimoto Arina and Kimura Momo.

But Nao Jingu definitely occupies a large portion of the space.
