designer who lives in the next room

Nanase Nami, who was by her side, was still immature, and she still couldn't safely hand over Natsume Haruko to Nanase Nami.

"...I'm sorry." Natsume Haruko only choked out this sentence, she was no longer struggling at this time, Nanase Nami looked at Natsume Haruko from the corner of her eye, this was the first time she saw Natsume Haruko like this Scared of being alone.

It looks like Natsume's mom is really scary when she's angry.

"Starting today, you are not allowed to go out for a week." Natsume's mother sent Natsume Haruko and Nanase Nami, "Nami, Nanase, you are the same, if I catch you again, I will lock you two in a small black room." , did you hear me!"

Volume [-]#No dinner for you tonight

Fortunately, the confinement that Natsume Haruko's mother said was just not letting her out of the hospital, she felt quite relaxed as she could move freely in the village.The main reason for this incident was Natsume Haruko. Although Nanase Nami was also imprisoned, she was just an accomplice.

Natsume Haruko's mother didn't blame Nanase Nami, after all, her job was to take care of Natsume Haruko all the time, and her status couldn't stop Natsume Haruko from going out.

Natsume Haruko's mother looked a little annoyed, but she still kindly left lunch for the two of them, and it was already cold now, but it's summer, and they can't eat if the lunch is not cold.

"Speaking of...you seem to like eating cold food." Nanase Nami saw that Natsume Haruko had been silent for a while, thinking that she was feeling a little bit down after being scolded by her mother, so she took the initiative to find a topic to think about. Talk to her, "Whether you're at home or out, you're always going to have parfait or ice cream or something."

Natsume Haruko didn't pay attention to this, and she couldn't remember her usual eating habits, so she just shook her head, "Is there anyone who doesn't like those sweet things?"

"...That's true." There was nothing wrong with Natsume Haruko's answer, and Nanase Nami had no choice but to say so.After saying this, Natsume Haruko returned to her position and remained silent, Nanase Nami sighed in her heart, it seemed that the topic she was looking for was not very good.

In fact, Natsume Haruko didn't stop talking because she was feeling down, she was just because of the rules at home. Her mother told her not to chat when she was eating at home since she was a child. She has been like this for so many years, and she has already formed a habit .

Of course, it's not that you can't talk at all, their family just doesn't have a lively dinner table like ordinary people's families.It is precisely because of this habit that Natsume Haruko does not open her mouth to chat with Nanase Nami now.

The house was quiet, the sun rose overhead, and the hottest time of the day had arrived.The servants all take a nap after lunch so that they can finish their work in the afternoon energetically.

Natsume Haruko ate very fast, and when she finished the last bite, a satisfied expression appeared on her face. She arranged the tableware neatly and waited for Nanase Nami.

"Well, you can just put it here, and I'll wash the dishes after eating." Nanase Nami looked at Natsume Haruko, "I'll be fine soon."

"Please don't really be like a servant." Ever since Nanase Nami received a new duty from Natsume Haruko's mother, Nanase Nami was always polite when getting along with Natsume Haruko at home, "I'm not very I like the way you look."

"But..." Nanase Nami wanted to quibble, but seeing Haruko Natsume's serious expression, she held back her words. She fiddled with her drooping bangs a few times, and then said, "Then I Can it be the same as before?"

Natsume Haruko nodded, and took the tableware into the kitchen by herself.

The high temperature at noon can easily make people sleepy, and after the two of them ran outside all morning, after returning to their bedroom, Natsume Haruko fell asleep not long after.

She only slept for a few hours at night, but she didn't sleep well at all. She kept dreaming, all of which were of some kind or nothing. After a while, she dreamed that she had entered the game and was with someone she didn't know. People teamed up to resist the aliens, and then ran into a world full of sheep, and couldn't get out of the sheep's soft hair.

These few dreams made her feel very irritable, even with the air conditioner on, she was sweating all over, turning left and right on the bed, the noise was so loud that even Nami Nanase next door heard it.

"Haruko?" Nanase Nami's voice appeared in Natsume Haruko's mind. This sound pulled her out of the sheep pile. She finally didn't have to feel the soft fluff of the sheep anymore. In reality, her expression relaxed a lot. .

Not long after, Natsume Haruko slowly opened her eyes, the window of the room was opened but there was no sunlight shining in.In front of him was the bedroom he was familiar with, except for Nanase Nami who was sitting on the side, there was no sheep.

"... What time is it?" Natsume Haruko rubbed her temples, she was so tired after sleeping, she felt like running a marathon now.

"It's just after eight o'clock in the evening..." Nanase Nami turned the alarm clock on the table so that Natsume Haruko could see that the hour hand had just passed eight o'clock, and it was getting dark outside, "Your mother just now I came to ask you to eat, but I couldn't wake you up at all..."

Nanase Nami hesitated when she spoke, and there was some fear in her tone.

Needless to say, everyone knows that Natsume Haruko's mother just lost her temper again, and she couldn't eat with her daughter for two consecutive meals. How can she suffer as a daughter.

"..." Natsume Haruko was silent for a while, then sighed, she waved her hand, not intending to sit up from the bed, "Forget it, never mind, she will be fine tomorrow."

Natsume Haruko knew her mother too well, she would never be angry with her for more than one night, so Natsume Haruko told Nanase Nami not to worry.

"Have you eaten?" Natsume Haruko turned to ask Nanase Nami, who nodded in affirmation.

"That's fine." Natsume Haruko looked very tired, and she slept like this in the afternoon. Even though she had slept for several hours, her body would be very tired, but it will be fine after a while.

Natsume Haruko, who was lying down again, recalled what happened today. They have been buying all kinds of snacks in the commercial street since they bought the limited game discs in the morning, and went to sleep after returning home at noon. Until dinner time.

So speaking of it, today I have been eating and eating non-stop...

It's almost like two little pigs.

Thinking of this, Natsume Haruko suddenly laughed, this sudden change in expression scared Nanase Nami, she thought that something was wrong with Natsume Haruko, she was worried and wanted to find someone to come and see.

"Wait...I'm fine." Natsume Haruko sat up from the bed, opened her short sleeves and exposed her lower abdomen. Because she had been dreaming, there were many beads of sweat on her body. Now it feels good to throw your clothes back and feel the breeze blowing in from the window.

After the sweat on her body was gone, Natsume Haruko woke up completely. Her jet lag had become like this for several days. These days, she always went to bed at noon and woke up before dinner.

"What's for dinner?" Natsume Haruko patted her stomach. Although she didn't move after lunch, she still felt a little hungry for some reason.

"Well... actually there is nothing to eat." Nanase Nami said with some embarrassment, "Just now your mother said that since you refused to get up to eat with her, then you simply won't let you eat tonight ..."

Volume [-]#I'm Scared

"Huh!?" Natsume Haruko couldn't imagine what Nanase Nami said, this was the first time her mother didn't leave her a meal because she was angry.

"Including the snacks you bought, they were taken away by your mother before." Nanase Nami continued to add, she pointed to Natsume Haruko's cabinet, "She seems to know where you usually hide the snacks... ...."

How could this happen? Didn't I just not eat with her for two meals? Didn't she care?Natsume Haruko felt that she was picked up by her mother from outside for the first time.

"So you don't have anything to eat?" Natsume Haruko jumped off the bed, and while asking, went to rummage through her closet. Sure enough, as Nanase Nami said, there was not even a pack of snacks left in it.

"There is nothing but this apple." Nanase Nami took out an apple from her pocket and handed it to Natsume Haruko, "I took it from the table when I was eating, don't worry, your mother didn't see it. "

In fact, it doesn't matter even if she saw it, how could that daughter control really not let her daughter eat, let her daughter starve, she was actually very uncomfortable.But she thinks it's okay not to punish Natsume Haruko, this child has gone too far recently...

In the past, she only played games until two or three o'clock in the morning, and occasionally didn't get up for breakfast. If this continues, Natsume Haruko's mother will no longer be able to sit at the same table with her daughter when eating in the future.

"...Really... I'm so pissed off." Natsume Haruko took a bite of the apple, it didn't taste good at all, it wasn't sweet at all, it was like eating water-soaked wood, "... ...I think I'd better go have dinner with her tomorrow, it's my mother who is so black-bellied."

"Isn't it kind of you to say that about your mother?" Nanase Nami shrugged her shoulders. Although Natsume Haruko was so pitiful, it was the result of her own fault, and it would not be a problem if she was hungry. Nanase Nami is actually not very worried.

"Let's not talk about her." Natsume Haruko pouted towards the door, her mother must be watching the news downstairs now, and she also knows that her mother is still angry, it is better not to meet her now, " The game disk I bought is ready, let’s play that, e-sports don’t need to eat!”

After Natsume Haruko finished speaking, she turned on the game console and handed a handle to Nanase Nami. It seemed that she had to play with her no matter what.Natsume Haruko knew that Nanase Nami didn't like to play shooting games very much, so she changed to a decryption type, which required two people to help each other.

But this is not just a decryption game, it is not as simple as escaping the secret room, this is actually more like a horror game, you have to find a way to escape from the room while trying to find a way to avoid being caught by the evil spirits in the room.

Natsume Haruko played very enthusiastically. She likes games with this kind of theme. They are spooky and bloody, but Nanase Nami is different. Although she doesn't reject those bloody scenes, the background music and pictures Her heart was pounding with surprise.

Natsume Haruko's family lived far away from the urban area, so it would be very quiet after nightfall.Rich people like to cultivate themselves, so there is a mountain behind here. At night, many birds that cannot be seen during the day will fly out to the city to look for food. At this time, listening to their calls, Nami Nanase feels scary.

Nanase Nami turned her head to look at Natsume Haruko, she didn't really want to continue playing, but the latter was staring at the screen seriously, and seemed to have put all her heart into it.Thinking of today's experience, she made her mother angry twice and was locked up. She didn't even have dinner, and she must be in a bad mood now.

If you say "I don't want to continue playing" now, Natsume Haruko will definitely become more sad inside.So Nanase Nami couldn't talk and didn't say anything. She thought about staying with Natsume Haruko for a while at night, and then talking to her when she couldn't stand it anymore, at least get over Natsume Haruko's excitement first.

Playing games is a good way to pass the time. It was only eight o'clock when I first started playing, and now it's almost 10:30. Nanase Nami played with Natsume Haruko for an hour.

Now she finally couldn't sit still, not because the plot of the game was too scary, she just wanted to go to the bathroom.

"Well, I'll go to the bathroom first." Nanase Nami put down the handle while talking, she couldn't hold back anymore, the soup tonight was very tasty to her, so she drank a few more bowls.

Natsume Haruko didn't stop her either, she just told her to go and come back quickly.

After Nanase Nami walked out of her room, Natsume Haruko put down the handle, stretched her waist and rubbed her eyes.Her eyes felt a little swollen, so Natsume Haruko had no choice but to turn on the light temporarily. She hoped to take this opportunity to relax her eyes and turn off the light after the uncomfortable feeling passed. After all, playing horror games with the lights on is not fun nothing.

Feeling hungry as soon as she was free, Natsume Haruko picked up the apple on the table that she had bitten by herself and continued to eat. Although it didn't taste much, it was at least edible.

On the other side, Nanase Nami, who went out to go to the bathroom, stopped on the stairs and did not dare to move.Because it was already late, no one was active in the living room, and Natsume Haruko's mother would also be in the room, so the lights in the living room were turned off.

Nanase Nami, who just played the horror game, was a little scared, because the layout of Natsume Haruko's house was a bit similar to the old house in the game. She looked at the stairs leading from the second floor to the first floor, knowing that it was very strong. But she was still afraid that a withered hand would suddenly stick out from below.

When I was young, I passed through many legends of ghosts and ghosts in my hometown, which also made Nanase Nami afraid of these things since she was a child.Although she gradually lost her fear as she grew older, her fault was that she shouldn't have played horror games for so long.

Nanase Nami clamped her legs tightly, and she felt that she would have to bleed out if she moved a little bit.She wanted to muster up the courage to go down the stairs, but her weak legs refused to take a step forward.

She wanted to ask Natsume Haruko to come out to accompany her to the bathroom, but she was afraid of being laughed at by Natsume Haruko, and she was having a fierce ideological struggle in her mind.

"I really, don't play horror games anymore, really..." Nanase Nami couldn't hold back anymore, she gritted her teeth and turned her head back, and after pushing open the door of Natsume Haruko's room, the whole The person lay on it, blushing so badly, "Please accompany me to the bathroom...I'm scared."

Volume [-]#Prison Break

No matter how scary things are, as long as someone is with you, it will not be so scary.Natsume Haruko had already guessed that Nanase Nami would come back to find her. She was really involved in playing the game, but she was not so forgetful that she couldn't even feel that Nanase Nami was afraid of sticking to herself.

"I was just thinking about how long it will take you to come back and call me." Walking downstairs with Nanase Nami, Natsume Haruko joked after turning on the light, with a somewhat gloating expression on her face, "You are afraid to play Horror game, right?"

"Yeah, since you know why you still insist on me playing horror games?" Nanase Nami's voice came through the door, she was a little angry because it was too embarrassing, "How dare you play horror games alone after you finish playing horror games?" Go to the bathroom?"

"Of course, I'm not a three-year-old child." Natsume Haruko answered her without thinking. She looked at the yard outside while she had nothing to do now. There were street lights and moonlight in the yard outside, but it did look a little gloomy.

"...Are you disliking me for being timid?" After the sound of flushing in the bathroom ended, Nanase Nami walked out while talking. She reached out to pinch Natsume Haruko's face, but in her Before her hand touched Natsume Haruko, Natsume Haruko grabbed her wrist.

"Wash your hands..." Natsume Haruko looked at Nanase Nami's hands with a disgusted expression, "It's so dirty."

It was almost midnight, and there was no movement in the whole house, even the birds that came out to look for food at night were gone, Natsume Haruko finally felt tired.

Sitting on the floor and playing games all the time, her waist that was leaning against the edge of the bed was hurting at this moment, and she didn't want to play games anymore at least for an hour.But as soon as she was free, she would feel hungry. It was only ten minutes since she was put on the floor, and Nanase Nami had heard Natsume Haruko's stomach growl three times.

"You look so hungry..." Nanase Nami put her hand on Natsume Haruko's stomach, which was flat and empty.

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Natsume Haruko pulled her hand off her body, "Why don't you try without eating at night?"

Nanase Nami turned over and turned her face towards Natsume Haruko.

Some people get excited when everyone else is asleep at night, Nanase Nami is such a person.

"I said, I said, let's go eat something." Nanase Nami was a little excited. It had been a while since she came to Natsume's house that she didn't go to the small shop where she usually ate late at night, although she was here every day. There are many good things to eat, but she still misses the ramen noodles that can be added with bean sprouts and the crispy pan-fried dumplings.

"Are you kidding, I can't go out." Natsume Haruko frowned and looked at Nanase Nami, and put her hand on her forehead, "I don't have a fever, why don't I remember what happened at noon."

Nanase Nami did not continue to lie on the ground and talk to Natsume Haruko, but stood up directly. She also pulled Natsume Haruko up from the ground, twisted the doorknob and walked out.

While walking, Nanase Nami also made a "silence" gesture to Natsume Haruko, signaling her not to make a sound.

"What are you doing?" Natsume Haruko, who didn't know why, approached Nanase Nami and asked in a very small voice, "What do you want to do?"

"Of course I took you out for dinner." Nanase Nami turned around and smiled at Natsume Haruko, "I know a ramen restaurant with good taste, it must taste like you."

"Ramen?" Speaking of this, Natsume Haruko's saliva almost flowed out, no matter what food it is, it is a delicacy for Natsume Haruko now.She wished she could fly to the ramen shop that Nanase Nami said immediately, but after thinking about it, her mother would never let her run out so late, "No, my mother won't agree...if If she knew, she would be angry again."

"Then let's not let her know." Nanase Nami was still full of confidence. While speaking, the two of them had already reached the door of Natsume Haruko's mother's bedroom. movement.

It was very quiet inside, and there was no light inside from the crack of the door.If you listen carefully, you can hear some slight snoring sounds, it seems that Natsume Haruko's mother has fallen asleep.

Natsume Haruko, who had already guessed what Nanase Nami wanted to do, was sweating on her palms. This was the first time she had done such a thing in her life. She usually listened to her mother very much, and she was going to be a bad boy once.

"If you don't let your mother know, we'll say we haven't been out." Nanase Nami waited to take Natsume Haruko into the yard before saying, after learning that Natsume Haruko's mother had fallen asleep, she immediately relaxed a lot.

"But how do we get out?" Natsume Haruko glanced at the door, there will be someone on duty there, "We can't sneak out of the door without anyone noticing."

"Who said we're going to go through the door." Nanase Nami pinched Natsume Haruko's face, and turned her head slightly so that she could see the wall behind the bamboo forest, "There is our way."

"Eh? Over the wall?" Natsume Haruko was frightened. She had never climbed over the wall before, so she was not sure if she could do it. "Isn't this too bold?"

"What's the matter, I used to do things like this a lot." Nanase Nami said, she reached out to reach the protrusion on the wall, climbed up two steps and stopped suddenly, she turned her head to look at Natsume Haruko on the ground, "I'm not a thief, I climbed over the wall just to take a shortcut."

If it wasn't for a live demonstration, Natsume Haruko would never believe that Nanase Nami, who looks a little thin, has such a strong athletic talent. After finding her foothold, Nanase Nami climbed to the top of the wall in just a few steps, and then bent down Looking around and seeing that no one noticed them, she stretched out her hand to Haruko Natsume on the ground.

"Slow down, step on it and come up." Nanase Nami patiently helped Natsume Haruko "break out of prison". When Natsume Haruko put her hands on those bricks, her heart beat violently. She knew that if What she is doing now is seen by her mother, then she will definitely die a miserable death.

But she was not afraid at all, she was only full of excitement, she felt extremely exciting as she had never been home late or went out at this time, which also caused the beads of sweat on her palms to prevent her from scratching. Steady brick, almost fell.

After working hard for a long time, Natsume Haruko finally climbed up to the top of the wall. She and Nanase Nami sat side by side, waiting for the opportunity and jumping down from here.

"Wow... so high..." I didn't feel much when I climbed in the past, but now I climbed to the top and looked down to realize that the wall of the house is so high, "like this Is it really okay to jump off?"

Volume [-]#Why are you here

After confirming that no one was paying attention, Nanase Nami jumped off the wall calmly. She looked very skilled, she was not scared at all and she didn't make too much noise when she fell to the ground. sound.

"Come down." Nanase Nami lowered her voice and said to Natsume Haruko who was still on the wall, "If you don't come down for a while, you may be discovered!"

Indeed, as Nanase Nami said, although the wall under Natsume Haruko's feet is covered by a bamboo forest, the window in her mother's room is also facing here. Even if it is dark at night, there is a person squatting on the wall It is impossible to see unless you are blind.

But after all, this was Natsume Haruko's first time climbing over the wall, and it was difficult for her to get up and down. She tried several times and didn't know how she was going to get down.The periphery of the wall was very smooth, and there was no place for her to rely on it.

"How do I get down?" Natsume Haruko asked Nanase Nami below, and looked back at the window of her mother's room worriedly. There was no one in the dark, but who knew if her mother would just get up to go to the toilet? .

"Jump down." Nanase Nami raised her hands forward and sank slightly, "Don't be afraid, I will catch you."

"Ah?" Natsume Haruko was a little surprised. She didn't think that Nanase Nami's thin body could catch her. If she fell here, it would not be as simple as a scratch.

Just when Natsume Haruko wanted to change Nanase Nami's way, she suddenly saw the light in her mother's room from the corner of her eye. Although it was not bright, it was too conspicuous in this dark night.

There is a risk of being discovered at any time. Natsume Haruko knew that if her mother found out what she was doing now, she would surely die, so she quickly said to Nanase Nami below, "It's done!"
