Warm heart

? Atmospheric, natural, magnificent, exquisite, beautiful... A series of praises for the environment unconsciously appeared in the minds of the teenagers who saw Alice Academy for the first time. In a trance, a fragrance came from nowhere. Invaded their nasal cavity, entered their unsuspecting heart, only felt very beautiful, very comfortable, very safe...

For a moment, the teenagers who never expected to see this kind of scenery relaxed their minds for a moment, and stood at the door with a faint smile on their faces. A whole body of hostility.

Seeing this, Narumi's eyes flashed a look of pride and taking it for granted, and he smiled indifferently at Kazumi, his eyes were a little guarded and inspected, and he quickly skipped the boys, when he saw Akutsu standing at the end, his eyes Suddenly tightening his grip, he quickly turned his head to look at Kazumi.

As if he had expected Narumi's reaction, the moment Narumi looked over, Kazumi blinked her eyelids lightly and nodded secretly.

When Narumi saw it, he tightened his arms holding the young man, then walked away quickly holding the unconscious young man and the bewildered young girl in his arms.

The two moved quickly and carefully, and the teenagers who were attracted by the surrounding environment did not notice, and looked around them excitedly and happily.

Kazumi saw Narumi's attitude in her eyes, then turned her head to look at the boyishness of the teenagers, and sighed silently in her heart. She had thought that people in the academy would not welcome them, but she did not expect it to be so serious , even the most gentle and peaceful teacher Narumi is like this.

Just as he was about to look away, Kazumi felt a special gaze, following his feeling, it was Natsume.

The eyes are very...complicated Natsume.

For some reason, Kazumi subconsciously didn't want to discern the meaning in that gaze, so she staggered away for the first time, and then greeted the boys to move forward with her usual expression.

Natsume's eyes were half closed, and his body followed without any objection, but his heart was not very calm.

Something is wrong with Kazumi, very wrong, and getting worse.

This is what Natsume has slowly felt since Kazumi decided to return to Alice Academy.

Ethereal, alienated, cold, distant...

Thinking of this, Natsume's always warm and peaceful eyes began to flicker, and the hand stroking the cat subconsciously used some strength.

In fact, Natsume doesn't know how to describe that feeling exactly. He just knows that he doesn't like that kind of feeling on Kazumi, because it makes him feel that Kazumi is not in the same world as them. He even has a kind of The feeling that he might lose her forever at any moment...

Natsume, who was deep in thought, didn't notice that the moment his eyes left, Kazumi's body relaxed almost invisibly, and his eyes seemed to stop at him from time to time...

If he saw it, with his delicate mind, he would definitely be able to find the slight uneasiness, apprehension, fragility and...expectation in her eyes.

As the footsteps deepened, the excited teenagers didn't find anything unusual, but the feeling of strangeness in Natsume and Mao Mao's already tense hearts became stronger and stronger.

Here...is it too quiet? Even if Alice is rare, there shouldn't be even the sound of birds like this. There are so many trees here...

If it wasn't for seeing that Narumi teacher brought people in with his own eyes just now, the current situation makes it feel like they are the only people in this huge campus.

Looking at each other indiscriminately, they exchanged their thoughts silently, and the positioning of Alice in each person's heart was once again improved.

The most frightening thing in this world is the unknown.

After a pause, the two eyes tacitly and undisguisedly turned to the leader Hemei.

Sensing the gaze behind her, Hemei unconsciously pursed her lips into a straight line, but her footsteps did not hesitate at all, and naturally there was no explanation.

The scenery is different along the way, and the novel and beautiful scenery emerges endlessly. The mental excitement is combined with the physical support. After walking a long distance, the teenagers not only did not feel tired at all, but when they finally saw the figure, they felt even more excited. , one by one with their eyes shining around them.

Although their hearts were not at peace, the teenagers with excellent backgrounds all showed their good upbringing and did not do anything that would make others feel disrespectful.

It was a young man, wearing a black uniform, holding a document in his hand. The temperament of the whole body made all the young men shift their eyes to Tezuka in unison. He was indifferent, alienated, and stable, which was exactly the same as him.

It's just that what they didn't expect was...

"There is no place for them in the academy, they are staying with you temporarily."

A deep and magnetic voice sounded, like a basin of cold water poured on them. The teenagers opened their eyes and looked at the boy who was talking, feeling completely chilled by this sudden situation.

Kazumi opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she just nodded silently.

After the boy brought the words to him, he didn't stop for a long time. He turned around and left, leaving the boys with a black and indifferent back. From the beginning to the end, he didn't even give the boys who were looking at him friendly.

Precocious like Tezuka, arrogant like Atobe, changeable like Yukimura, steady like Sanada... Their minds are far superior to those of their peers. If it weren't for the people around them who they really trust, they wouldn't be in such a perfect environment. Such a 'simple' performance in an unfamiliar environment.

At this moment, after the buffer of time and the attitude of the boy in black, they have recovered their rationality, and each of them looked at Hemei with their signature expressions on their faces.

Only Natsume, after thinking about what happened before and after, said suddenly: "That teacher's indifference, and this unusual quietness, that classmate's attitude... Hemei, we are not welcome here, are we?"

Kazumi nodded, with a deadpan face so that the boys couldn't see her mood.

"Can you tell us why, sister." Yukimura tilted his head and asked seemingly casually.

Which one of the people standing here said that they are not like dragons and phoenixes among people. Although they don't care about the eyes of the outside world, no one likes this kind of disgust for no reason.

Hemei was silent, her eyes were wandering, she didn't know what she was thinking.

On the other hand, Natsume, staring at Kazumi, had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and quickly grabbed Yukimura who wanted to continue asking.

Don't ask, don't ask.

Feeling the almost commanding force in Natsume's eyes, Yukimura froze for a moment, finally thinking about the ten years he spent with her, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he backed away with a smile on his face.

Stopping Yukimura, Natsume turned his gaze to Kazumi, full of worry.

The sense of existence of Hemei is getting weaker and stronger...

It's very contradictory, but she happens to exist very harmoniously in this contradiction.

And... the distance between her and him... is getting farther and farther...

Moving his eyes to the extremely beautiful scenery, an idea seemed to appear in Natsume's mind, but it was too vague for him to grasp.

"Let's go."

While thinking, Hemei's cold voice sounded, and the teenagers looked at each other and followed.

In just a short period of time, the moods of the teenagers have undergone tremendous changes. Although many things are still unknown, they have already confirmed one thing: this journey will definitely not be as imagined. so beautiful.

As if to verify their ideas, the teenagers who walked into the living and learning area once again felt the same attitude as the boy before.

Obviously he was about to pass them by, but he walked away abruptly; he obviously saw them from a distance, but he still didn't give them a look; he obviously greeted Kazumi friendly, but he didn't seem to see them same; there were even some young children who ran away in fear when they saw them...

"arrive."

Walking silently all the way to a door, Hemei opened the door, stood by the door and spoke sideways, her usually cold voice was rarely hoarse and relieved for no apparent reason.

The teenagers didn't go in immediately, and stood opposite Hemei with expressions of thought, impatience, or anxiety.

The movement of Natsume's hands stroking the cat has not changed. What he has seen and heard along the way has already made the thought in his mind clearly visible, so now he can calmly accept things that the teenagers have not yet accepted.

In this way, a group of people formed a situation similar to confrontation.

Kazumi stood by the door alone, in front of her was Natsume who was leaning sideways, hugging the cat, and further ahead were the boys standing opposite her.

"Now, can you tell us why?" The person who spoke was the same.

Tezuka and Atobe saw Natsume's action of blocking Yukimura just now, and they also knew that Natsume spent much more time with their sister than they did, and knew her much better than them, so they didn't dare No more action.

The second-class people have no feelings for Hemei, and naturally they don't have any concerns. They only know that they have been disgusted or rejected for no reason, and they have the right to know the reason.

Kazumi's eyes flickered when she heard the question, her lips were drawn into a straight line, she took a deep breath, and just about to speak, Natsume's voice rang out first.

"Let me tell you."

"You?" Buer was still smiling, but there was obvious disapproval in his voice. They came in together, didn't they?Don't think he didn't see the doubtful eyes he looked at Yukimura Kazumi before.

Natsume nodded, her gentle smile made people feel like spring breeze: "To a certain extent, I am the same type of person as the people in this academy, um... I am not talking about ability or anything, but because we experience..." At this point, Natsume suddenly stopped, raised his head and looked at the boys steadily, a numbness that did not match him appeared in his beautiful eyes: "...torture and pain." ?
