Before An Ran and Natsume Takashi could question the meaning of the old man's words, the door of the ward opened suddenly, and a somewhat familiar figure An Ran walked in, it was Rena Ryuzaki who met on the train.

When Rina Ryuzaki walked into the ward, what she saw made her feel both pleasantly surprised and a little unbelievable, almost making her think that she was dreaming.

The boy sitting by the window had beautiful light brown hair that shone golden in the sunlight.At that moment, the handsome boy in front of her eyes seemed to overlap with the boy in Longzaki Rena's memory who followed her with his head down.

Then, Rena Ryuzaki rushed towards Natsume Takashi as if she didn't see An Ran's existence at all.But when Rena Ryuzaki passed by An Ran, An Ran somehow added a mineral water bottle with the lid opened, and then all of the water was spilled on Ryuzaki because of the force of the collision. Rena's body.

"I'm really sorry." An Ran apologized with a smile, but she didn't know if it was Rena Ryuzaki's illusion, the other party's tone didn't seem to have a sense of apology.But it was precisely because of this that Ryuzaki Rena recognized that the other party seemed to be the beautiful boy she had seen on the train.

"No, it's okay, I was too careless and didn't see you here." Rena Ryuzaki said as she took off the soaked coat she was wearing outside, and then asked nonchalantly, " You seemed to be sitting across from me on the train, right?"

"That's right." An Ran smiled and moved the chair away, so that Ryuzaki Rena could walk to Natsume Takashi smoothly.

But at this time, the excited look on Longzaki Rena's face seemed to disappear, she looked at An Ran with some doubts and asked, "Could it be that you came to Tokyo just to see my grandpa? Are you my grandpa's friend?"

"No, I came to Tokyo just to find a friend." An Ran pointed to Natsume Takashi who was sitting by the window, and said, "It just so happened that he was coming to visit Grandpa Ryuzaki."

From An Ran's point of view, there are strange things about Ryuzaki Rena's performance. One is that she suddenly lost that weird enthusiasm for Natsume Takashi, and even the warm feeling on the train seemed to be gone. Disappeared without a trace.

After talking with An Ran for a while, Rena Ryuzaki turned around and looked at Takashi Natsume who was sitting by the window, and asked with some doubts: "Excuse me, are you..."

"Long time no see, Ms. Ryuzaki, my name is Natsume Takashi, maybe you have forgotten..."

"Natsume Takashi?" Ryuzaki Rena repeated the other party's name, and then said as if remembering something, "Where did you hear the name Natsume? That's right! You were adopted by your grandfather before." That boy? So we were playmates for a few days when we were kids!"

"Yes, I am very grateful for your care at that time." Natsume Takashi smiled sincerely. In his memory, the girl in front of him may have never seen him being entangled by monsters, so He has always been very friendly to himself.

"Rena, why did you come here? Today shouldn't be a rest day, right?" Grandpa Ryuzaki glared at Natsume Takashi again, "You too, you should be in high school, right? Even if you were tricked by my unfilial son , can't you find a weekend that doesn't disturb your studies?"

"Grandpa, you are still the same." Rena Ryuzaki scratched her head embarrassedly, "I don't know why, I just wanted to meet you, and then I came. Speaking of which, I was also muddleheaded along the way. Maybe I really miss you so much."

For Rena Ryuzaki's behavior of changing the subject while being coquettish, Mr. Ryuzaki seems to be particularly fond of this trick, so apart from his face still showing no expression, he did not continue to "blame" Rena Ryuzaki who asked for leave from school to visit him and Natsume Takashi.

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect you to come to see my grandpa." Rena Ryuzaki saw that the old man stopped talking to her, and felt bored for a while, so she talked to Natsume next to her, "After all, when I was at grandpa's house before, he Didn't you always ask you to do this and that? It must be troublesome!"

Regarding the granddaughter's accusation, the old man just snorted and didn't make any excuses.

On the contrary, Natsume smiled with emotion, and then said: "It was really hard at that time, but if I think about it now, I don't think such days are difficult, but I miss it."

Natsume Takashi thought that when he first arrived at the house of the old man Ryuzaki, he was chased by monsters in the street, and ran into several nearby aunts and aunts, and then he became a strange child in everyone's eyes.

At that time, Natsume Takashi would hear the elders whispering behind him every time he went out.Even, because of emergencies caused by various monsters, Natsume Takashi often heard some aunts and aunts advising Mr. Ryuzaki to keep him at home and not to let him out again.

From that time on, Mr. Ryuzaki, who originally ignored him except for correcting some of his bad living habits, suddenly became stricter.When correcting Natsume's living habits, he is no longer slow and slow, but always yells so loudly that almost everyone around can hear him, and makes Natsume Takashi always do that.

But Natsume Takashi now thinks back, it seems that from that time on, the aunts and aunts around him stopped whispering behind his back, and instead comforted Natsume Takashi by saying, "Mr. Ryuzaki just has a bad temper." "It's too hard for a child like you to live with a weird old man." "Did you fall last time because you were too tired to clean at home?" Such comforting words.

Later, some people even went to find the old man and asked him to treat Natsume Takashi well.

After a long time, those aunts and gods in the neighborhood would send some clothes and food, but most of the slightly valuable things were returned by Grandpa Ryuzaki.Most of the leftovers are food made by neighbors, or clothes sewn by themselves.Sometimes Natsume Takashi is reluctant to wear these clothes with his heart even if he wears old clothes.

"Don't tell me that you now think that what Grandpa did was for your own good? As far as I know, it was not fake that you were ordered around during that time, locked in the storage room It’s not a lie, is it?” Looking at the awkward Mr. Ryuzaki who was sitting there, Rena Ryuzaki still couldn’t believe that the serious old man in her memory would put such effort into helping Natsume Takashi.

"If you just go shopping or clean the room, it's actually not that tiring." Takashi Natsume said a little embarrassedly, "And Grandpa Ryuzaki's house is always clean, it seems that everything It’s always there where it’s supposed to be, so if I had to clean the house from top to bottom, it wouldn’t be a lot of work.”

When Natsume Takashi said this, a look of unnaturalness suddenly flashed in the old man's eyes, and he didn't know if it was because of shyness or for some other reason.

"What about that dusty storage room? For children, it's like a small black room, right?" Rina Ryuzaki thought of the messy and dark storage room in her imagination, and still looked at it with some sympathy. With Natsume Takashi.

"That storage room!" Natsume Takashi suddenly showed a look that seemed to be extremely nostalgic, "For my childhood, no matter how many times I moved, it seems to be a place that I will never forget. And... Ryuzaki Miss, you have never been in, have you?"

"I don't want to go into that kind of place. I always feel that there are spiders and centipedes everywhere, maybe there are snakes!" Rena Longzaki felt a little scared just thinking about it.

"Grandpa Ryuzaki has never allowed me to clean the storage room, but he will organize the storage room very well. It is not so much a messy warehouse...it may be more like a library." Natsume Takashi said with some Said in a nostalgic tone.

"Library?" Hearing Natsume Takashi's description, Ryuzaki Rena was a little surprised.

"Yeah, I still remember those two rows of bookshelves, where all kinds of books were neatly placed, some of which were very interesting even to me as a child at that time." Takashi Natsume A happy smile appeared on his face, "Every time I was asked by Grandpa Ryuzaki to enter the storage room, I almost always forgot the time to go out because of reading books. There are also many antiques and ancient books that look very precious in the collection room. Like, Grandpa Ryuzaki will carefully clean and embalm them every time, so let alone bugs, there may be nothing but dust.”

"And...although I did feel a little scared when I was imprisoned there at first, but because of one incident, I gradually enjoyed the time there." Natsume Takashi said, feeling a little embarrassed Looking at old man Ryuzaki carefully, he said, "I'm really sorry, Grandpa Ryuzaki, for reading those books without your permission."

"If books are not read by others, what's the point of existence?" The old man said lightly, and then fell silent again.

"They said exactly the same words..." Natsume Takashi suddenly muttered.

"But, old man, why did you use such a tough and unflattering method? There are obviously some gentler ways to solve Natsume's problem, aren't there?" An Ran, who was sitting on the sidelines listening to the story, couldn't help but said, " For example, explain to those aunts and aunts, tell them more about Natsume’s advantages, or take Natsume out to play more, and get in touch with more outsiders.”

"Hahahaha!" Without waiting for Mr. Ryuzaki and Takashi Natsume to say anything, Rena Ryuzaki laughed after hearing An Ran's words, "If you really do this, then that person is not my grandfather. .This old man has such a stubborn and rigid character, how could he do such a gentle thing?"
