She doesn't like Naruto, but she doesn't reject him either. Originally, she wasn't interested in this kind of thing, she just needs Naruto to be by her side.

But the comments made by her colleagues in recent days made her a little panicked, thinking what if one day he heard these words and stopped coming?

Do you have to go find him by yourself? You definitely can’t do such a thing by yourself, but if it really gets to that point, do you really want to return to the way it was before?

Just recalling the depressing feeling when she was alone, Nohara Nao felt her heart filled with a tight feeling. She was led out of the darkness by him without realizing it, and she never wanted to go back.

Instead of passively facing it, it's better to take the initiative and ask. Even if it doesn't work, even if he has any ideas, if you can continue the current situation, you can even give it to him.

She gritted her teeth and already made a decision in her heart. She was not a rigid person, and she had to meet the right person. In this period, she would not think about men and women at all.

Heartbeat is a thing of the past. Only the eldest ladies from noble families would pursue love at this time and find someone they like to be with.

She just wants someone to continue to accompany her, and someone to wait for her every day. Even if her heart has never been moved, she really can't live without that person.

On the way, Naruto noticed Nohara Nao's absent-mindedness, so he asked her.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I almost lost my mind." She smiled, lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head and said half-jokingly, "They saw us walking together like this."

"Who are they?"

"You should have seen some of the sisters in the medical class, but you just didn't come up to say hello."

"Oh, what's wrong?" Naruto pretended to be confused.

"They. They are always making fun of us." Nohara Nao said nervously, "I was thinking that there are rumors among us that you want to chase me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard laughter coming from beside her, as if she had been holding back for a long time. Suddenly, Nohara Nao felt a little embarrassed and thought, why are you laughing at me!

"Why are you laughing!!"

She turned her head sharply, only to see Naruto looking at the darkness ahead and speaking softly.

"You just discovered it."

With a thud, Nohara Nao turned her head, feeling a little embarrassed. I don't know why, but for a moment just now, I thought Kitahiko's ordinary appearance was pretty good-looking.

"What are you doing?" Nohara Nao was a little embarrassed, lowered her head and kicked a stone, "Confession? It's not romantic at all."

"Besides, I can't possibly fall in love with you. I don't mean anything else. I just don't feel anything about that kind of thing, not about you, nor about anyone else."

"I like you." Naruto stopped and said in a voice that she could hear clearly.

After the words fell, only the night wind whistled in the ears. It was so quiet that one could hear the beating of the heart. Nohara Nao raised her head in surprise and quickly turned away.

"Like. It's okay to like someone. Anyway, it's your fault that you like me. You can't like me. You can like someone else."

"There is a very good-looking person in our medical class with a very good personality. If you think about it, you will definitely like her."

When Nohara Nao was the only one chattering on the road, Naruto laughed silently.
