[Comprehensive] warm things

When Natori Wanghai received a call from Kisaragi Toichi, she had just ironed the school uniform she was going to wear tomorrow and hung it up. She pressed the call button and said, "Hi, hello, I am Natori Wanghai."

"Miss Natori, I've already reserved a seat at 'One Degree Coffee', at 10:30 this morning, table number four."

"Well, I see, Mr. Kisaragi, I will arrive on time." Natori Wanghai said and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. It is now nine o'clock, which means there is still an hour and a half left.

"Then, see you later, Ms. Natori." After saying goodbye politely, the other party hung up the phone.

Natori Wanghai walked to the stairs, and shouted to Ruixi's room: "Ruixi, get ready, we are going out."

"Yeah, I see." Hearing Ruixi's answer, Natori Wanghai scratched his hair, picked up the hair rope on the coffee table, gathered his black hair, and tied it behind his head casually.

Natori Wanghai turned on his mobile phone to locate, and then used the map to find the location of 'Yiyi Coffee', then heard the sound of footsteps, and saw Ruixi running down the stairs with a happy face, holding a light yellow printed card in his hand. Holding the cute letter paper of the cartoon cake, he ran to Wang Hai of Natori, held the letter paper and turned around happily, his emerald green eyes were full of expectation and said: "Wang Hai, look, this is my shopping list, it's all for me to decorate the garden It can be used here!"

"Well, then after meeting the client, let's go buy together." Natori Wanghai smiled slightly, Ruixi showed a big smile, Natori Wanghai walked over and touched his soft silver-white hair and said, "I'll squeeze two cups Orange juice, let’s add vitamin C, and then we’re off.”

"Oh!" Ruixi nodded, watching Natori Wanghai walk into the kitchen, he opened the window, a gust of warm wind hit his face, he rubbed his nose, sneezed, turned around and ran to the kitchen with a smile, Hug Natori Wanghai from behind and say, "Wanghai, the sun is shining outside, summer is coming!"

"Well, indeed." Natori Wanghai handed a cup of oranges to Ruixi, pinched his nose, "Ruixi likes summer very much."

Ruixi nodded vigorously, took the orange, drank it in a big gulp, then put down the empty glass, turned into a snake wrapped around Natori Wanghai's arm and said, "Do you want to eat outside at noon today, Wanghai?"

"Well, I don't know, if I eat outside, I will buy crepes for Ruixi when I get home." Natori Wanghai pressed the snake-shaped Ruixi's head with his fingers, and said with a smile: "We lets go."

Natori Wanghai found the "Once Coffee" mentioned by Kizuki Toichi according to the prompt on the mobile phone map. This coffee shop is larger than the nearby restaurants. It is decorated in European and American style, with a retro and noble atmosphere. At the door, a guard opened the door for her.

"Welcome." Upon entering the door, three welcoming ladies on the left and right bowed to Natori Wanghai with smiles on their faces. The leading lady on the right smiled and asked, "Excuse me, miss, do you have a reservation?"

"Well, yes, table number four, the reservation person's surname is Kisaragi."

"Is it table four, please follow me." The welcoming lady standing at the end suddenly stood up and said, the leading lady gave her a look, smiled at Natori Wanghai and said, "Then miss, please come with her Go, and she will show you the way."

"Hmm." Natori looked at the sea to answer, and found that the welcoming lady who was going to guide her seemed to be relieved, she smiled lightly, it seemed that the welcoming lady who was guiding her should be a newcomer.

"This is table No. [-]." The welcoming lady turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation. Natori Wang Hai nodded to her, and then found that there was already a boy about her age sitting on table No. [-]. Natori Wang Hai's eyes widened. Feeling a little puzzled, Judging from the voice on the phone, Kizuki Toichi should be a middle-aged man.

The boy was staring at the chess set on the table. He was holding a black chess piece in one hand and a white chess piece in the other. The dazzling sunlight fell on the boy through the glass window, and his red hair had a hazy halo , Natori Wanghai couldn't see his face, but just by looking at his profile, he could imagine that this was a boy with extraordinary appearance, but... Natori Wanghai watched the boy's shadow, and there seemed to be something in the black shadow... Just around the corner.

Natori Wanghai glanced at the time on the phone. It was [-]:[-]. She deliberately arrived ten minutes earlier, but she didn't expect that the other party had already arrived, and it seemed that because of boredom, she was playing chess with herself.

"Sorry, Mr. Kisaragi, I seem to have kept you waiting." Natori Wanghai walked over and sat opposite the young man. Hearing her voice, the other party's eyes shifted from the chess game to her. Only then did Natori Wanghai see the other party's appearance clearly.

The boy's appearance is even more outstanding than Natori Wanghai imagined, with handsome and gentle features, an indescribable aloofness between his brows, strange-colored eyes, the golden left eye is cold with insight into everything, and the red right eye seems to be Like a flame that is about to be extinguished, there is no heat but a ray of light remains. He squinted his eyes and looked at Natori Wanghai, and raised his right hand to place a white chess piece on the chessboard.

"Mr. Kisaragi, wait a moment, if you put the white chess there, you will lose." Natori Wanghai raised his hand to prevent him from placing the white chess on the board. The two hands touched each other. Cold body temperature, she tilted her head and smiled at him and said: "Although you are playing chess with yourself, Mr. Kisaragi is a little too bullying white chess, don't you like white chess?"

"Can you turn white back into victory?" The young man spoke calmly and without any emotion in a magnetic and elegant voice.

"Eh?" Natori Wanghai looked at the other party in surprise. This voice was not the voice of Kisaragi Tengichi on the phone. In other words, she thought it was a bit weird at first, but the voice of Kisaragi Toichi heard on the phone should obviously be someone who was on the phone. age man.

"You play the white chess." The boy stuffed the white chess into her hand, and asked Natori Wanghai, who was thinking about whether he had misunderstood the person, to look at the chessboard.

"But I don't know where this piece was originally." Natori Wanghai replied honestly, looking at the board where the black and white pieces intertwined. All the white pieces were cornered by the black pieces. move, black is about to 'check'.

"You can go as you want." The boy's casual tone made Natori Wanghai slightly startled, that is to say, she can hold this white piece and place it anywhere in the chess game. It is obviously against the rules, but the other side is like this Having said that, Natori Wanghai glanced at the 'castle' in his hand, and placed it on the right side of the 'queen'.

The boy glanced at her casually with strange eyes, and then used his own black chess to mercilessly destroy the 'castle' she had placed. The king who was able to move took a step forward, bent his eyes and said: "Although I really want to say 'general' very handsomely, it is obviously impossible for white to turn defeat into victory. Here I can only say something friendly— -draw."

Akashi Seijuro looked at the chessboard. She really changed the situation in one step. No matter what he did next, she would die with him in the next step. Facing the white chess that was about to lose, this girl abandoned the soldiers and the castle. In this way, the queen who needs to be protected is regarded as the last weapon.

"Sorry, miss, this is table number eight!"

Akashi Seijuro saw a welcoming lady running over in a hurry and bowed to the girl repeatedly. The girl showed such an expression, got up and bowed to him and said, "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person, and I did something to disturb your chess game." Such a very disrespectful thing.”

There was an unnatural blush on her fair cheeks, and her eyes fell on the chessboard, showing that she really felt that it was very rude for her to disturb his chess game.

"It's still interesting." Akashi Seijuro replied calmly. Among his peers, there are very few people who can play with him in a draw, so he usually plays with himself to pass the time, but his No.1 grid has At that time, the method of playing chess was too conservative, and the result was his victory.

Hearing his words, the girl standing opposite him froze for a moment, then smiled with crooked eyebrows and eyes. Her beautiful features were rendered softer by the smile than the sunlight falling on the two of them. She was polite to him again Bowed and said: "It's good that you can forgive my rudeness, then I will disturb you."

With a beautiful and gentle face, a smile like a warm sun, and a decent manner, this girl who can be described as gentle no matter her appearance or manner, just played very cruelly.

Gentle people are strong, and people are strong because they are cruel.

Cruel and gentle, seemingly contradictory words, have always coexisted.

The figure of the girl who just played chess with him has long disappeared. Akashi Seijuro realized that he had been thinking about what kind of person the opponent was just now. He raised his hand and touched the queen of black chess. The queen of black chess fell and hit the white one in front. The queen of chess, the two queens fell on the board together and made a crisp sound.

Whether the other party is a contradictory person or not has nothing to do with him. Speaking of contradictions, doesn't his body have two completely different personalities.

Natori Wanghai touched her hot cheeks. In fact, she only had some knowledge of the rules of chess. She was able to make a draw just now because the opponent asked her to place a chess piece randomly. It can be seen that the young man is a thoughtful person who likes to strategize. It is simply too shameful for her to go up and show off her chess skills.

Although she and the boy only spoke a few words, they could feel an overwhelming aura in each other's gestures.

"This is table number four. I'm so sorry. The receptionist who led you just now is a newcomer. I really didn't expect her to make a mistake."

"It doesn't matter." Natori Wanghai waved to the apologetic welcome lady. Seeing that the person sitting there this time was a middle-aged man with rimless glasses, she breathed a sigh of relief. There is nothing wrong with coming.

Feeling her cheeks being rubbed against something cold, Natori Wanghai looked sideways, and found that Ruixi was looking at her listlessly, she asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

"...It's nothing, I want to eat crepes." Ruixi's round eyes narrowed happily, and the listless look just now seemed to be the illusion of Natori looking at the sea.

Natori Wanghai patted his head comfortingly, walked up to the middle-aged man and sat down. When the man saw her, he immediately asked, "Miss Natori?"

This time it seemed right, the voice was from the phone, Natori Wanghai suddenly felt at ease, she looked at the middle-aged man with a stubble on his chin and a tired face, smiled and said: "Mr. Kisaragi, I am Natori's assistant on Monday, Natori Wanghai."
