"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 increase, 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.
Chapter 64 What kind of cuckold behavior is this!
Jingu Nao murmured a few words to herself, showing signs of fatigue, but she quickly lifted her head from his embrace, a bright smile on her face, and took Shirakawa's hand: "Come on, it's our first time visiting the Xia family, we must do our best."
"Hey, don't make it sound like you're meeting the parents." Shirakawa Natsu laughed along with her and took her hand in return.
In the afternoon, Jingu Nao was still chattering away, and Shirakawa Natsu gradually got used to it. If one day it suddenly became quiet around him, he would probably feel uncomfortable.
He sent a message to Mi Zhi Shi, telling her not to mess around with women that night, to come home early, and to talk to her about something important.
Miyuki quickly sent a text message confirming that she knew.
Evening arrived quickly, and Shirakawa Natsu, holding Jingu Nao's hand, went to the supermarket and bought a lot of groceries.
He originally wanted to show off his skills to Jingu Nao, but found that Jingu Nao was a better cook than him.
Watching the kitchen knife spin nimbly in Jingu Nao's hands, he began to question life once again.
Why is it that every time-traveling predecessor can show off by cooking, while everyone I encounter cooks better than me?
"Nao, why are you so good at cooking?" Shirakawa Natsumi pouted as she placed dish after dish on the table.
"Hehe~" Jingu Nao quickly arranged the dishes on plates and said proudly, "Because Nao has always been working hard to become a good wife."
"Hmm." Shirakawa Natsu nodded in deep agreement and sat down at the dining table. Whoever could marry Jingu Nao would indeed be very happy.
She is always full of energy, has a high level of attractiveness, and although her breasts are not large, her legs are straight and long. She also likes to wear black stockings and is an excellent cook. She truly fulfills all the beautiful aspirations of men for their ideal woman.
The apartment door opened, and Miyuki returned. She paused for a moment after seeing a table full of dishes.
“Nao made all of this.” Shirakawa Natsu picked up her chopsticks. “Let’s eat first.”
"Mm." Mi no Shi nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and sat down to start eating.
With Nao Jingu around, the atmosphere at the meal was always lively and never dull.
After the group finished eating, they sat on the sofa. Shirakawa Natsu's expression gradually became strange, and she glanced furtively at Miyuki.
Show your girlfriend the video of her confessing her love to me in front of your buddies.
This is some kind of inhuman Cowboy plot, like in movies and TV shows where a yellow-haired cowboy steals the protagonist's wife and then sends him a DVD.
The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed.
Jingu Nao, however, did not feel embarrassed at all. She took out her phone, opened the video, and handed it to Miyuki.
"I want to be with Natsu!" Kanna Hojo's timid voice came from the video.
I don't know what strange method Nao Jingu used to film it, but the sound is exceptionally clear.
Shirakawa Natsu noticed Miyuki's expression. Although she still had that cool and aloof older sister look on her face, her brows were furrowed.
Even after the video ended, Miyuki remained holding the phone, staring at the screen.
“Um…” Shirakawa Natsu gestured to Jingu Nao to speak, but he didn’t dare to say anything given the situation.
Jingu Nao grinned and leaned close to Miyuki: "Call Kanna."
As she spoke, she took out her phone, dialed Hojo Kanna's number, and then handed it to Minoki.
The call was quickly answered, and Kanna Hojo's voice came from the other end: "Jingu-san, what's up with calling me?"
Miyuki stared blankly at her phone, saying nothing.
"Jingu-kun, can you hear me?" Hojo Kanna asked, her voice filled with confusion.
Miyuki opened her mouth and slowly said, "It's me, Miyuki."
After she finished speaking, there was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone. After a long while, the call ended with a "click".
A busy signal came from the phone.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
"Excuse me, I'll be right back." Shirakawa Natsu said, pulling Jingu Nao along as they walked to the corner. "Didn't you say there was absolutely no chance of anything going wrong?"
"Don't worry," Jingu Nao said confidently.
"How can I rest easy?" Shirakawa Natsu pointed at Miyuki, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze: "My brother is completely out of his mind."
“Hehe.” Jingu Nao turned to look at Miyuki and said, “She needs to figure out what she wants herself. No one else can help her, so I accelerated the process. Love, once you’ve loved, that moment will stay forever. All we can do is wait.”
Shirakawa Natsu couldn't find a reason to refute it for a moment, so she could only return to the sofa.
