Perhaps out of expectation of the key’s function, Natsume put the key in his pocket.

Although it is said on the surface to prevent Ito Sakurayuki from losing the key, what is the hidden function?

To put it another way, what if the girl suddenly faints one day?

As for the more hidden functions, it is estimated that they will not be developed for a while.

Especially for male protagonists like Natsume Tsurugi, he cannot play innocently and lose his moral integrity.

In short, whether it was out of the girl's trust in him or out of his own character, there was nothing wrong with the key given to her.

……

Natsume Patrol casually rinsed his mouth and wiped his face, and left the apartment with the girl.

The weather is cool, the sun is hanging in the sky, and there is no temperature.

"Ito-kun, the weather is perfect for eating ramen today."

Natsume Megumi said, it is a complete pleasure to take a sip of hot tonkotsu soup in this weather.

"Hmm, Natsume-kun, do you really not mind eating ramen?"

The girl always cares about him, even if it is a small matter like eating lunch, she is worried about his feelings.

Natsume looked at the girl with worried eyes and sighed slightly in her heart.

In a sense, he really doesn't deserve what she does.

"Why do you mind? I also want to eat ramen."

"Yeah!" The girl smiled sweetly.

Whatever he said, the girl would nod her head and agree.

If he says no, even if the girl doesn't want to do it anymore, she will still make herself uncomfortable to accommodate him.

She was always a well-behaved little one in front of him.

The only time I resisted, I only lasted half an afternoon.

Ito Sakurayuki took Natsume Patrol into a small alley.

The alley is crowded and can only accommodate a small car. Across the long alley, you can see a ramen restaurant in the distance.

The unpretentious signboard has the four characters "Tonkotsu Ramen".

The wooden door is a little old, and through the door curtain, you can see many diners dining.

"So hidden? Thank you for finding it here."

Natsume Tsurugi was very surprised. You should know that the girl was a foreigner. Given the location of the ramen restaurant, he didn’t know how she found it.

"Well." The girl stuck out her tongue, "I just moved to Hakone, and I accidentally got lost. I found it after walking around."

She recalled her experience of getting lost:

She arrived in Hakone for the first time and was not familiar with the surroundings yet. She wanted to buy a lot of daily necessities, so she specially found a shopping supermarket.

But when she was preparing to go back with a large bag of things, she found that she could not find the way at all, and was led to a remote alley by the deceptive navigation system.

She walked into the ramen shop tired and hungry, and after just one bite, she fell in love with this shop.

Finally, we successfully returned to our residence under the guidance of the enthusiastic shopkeeper.

"Call me if you get lost in the future." Natsume said.

"Well..."

His chest felt tight. Although the girl's experience of getting lost seemed to be an understatement, he knew that the real experience would never be so easy.

I don’t know how the girl spent the dark time in a completely unfamiliar city, facing the rampant rumors.

Has she ever been among the beasts in a tall building, looking up at the dark sky and feeling hungry?

Pedestrians were rushing past her, but no one stopped for her.

There was no warm hand to hold her, no reassuring embrace to protect her. She was alone and desperate, unable to find her way home...

Thinking of this, Natsume Megumi felt a little painful even breathing.

"But if we call..." The girl seemed hesitant.

"What's wrong? Is there any inconvenience?" He subconsciously thought it was the girl who was shy.

"No inconvenience."

The girl shook her head repeatedly and said in a voice like a mosquito: "But I don't have Natsume-san's mobile phone number..."

Natsume stood still, an embarrassed expression flashed across his face.

It turns out it’s not that the girl is embarrassed, it’s just that he never gave her his phone number.

"Ahem, my fault, I forgot about this."

"It's not Natsume-san's fault, it's just that I didn't ask myself." The girl shook her head and took out her phone.

"XXXXXXXX." He spoke the mobile phone number very slowly.

Ito Yingxue tapped lightly on her phone and saved his phone number.

But what should I fill in as the contact name?

The girl was lost in thought.

Fill in [Natsume Patrol]? It’s too formal.

What about [Natsume-san]? Actually, she has never liked this title.

The girl thought for a while and secretly entered [Classmate Xun].

Is that okay?

Why do I always feel like something is missing?

She pursed her lips and quietly added a ? after [Classmate Xun]

【Classmate Xun?】

Hehe...(//▽//)

"Let me see if you lost right." Natsume said, heading over to take a look.

The girl was startled, tightly covering her phone, and even took half a step back.

Natsume Patrol:?

?Are you serious about taking half a step back??, a small movement can still cause so much harm.

"No, you can't make a mistake." The girl blushed instantly.

If the title of [Classmates] is discovered, she will be really embarrassed to the point of being ashamed.

Natsume Megumi didn't expect that just by saving a number, a girl would have so many thoughts.

However, the girls all rejected him, and he was too embarrassed to continue asking shamelessly.

"Then just give me a call and I'll save your phone number."

"Oh, okay."

Seeing that he didn't ask for more, the girl breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned her phone back on and glanced at him secretly while pressing the screen, fearing that he would suddenly come over.

The phone rang, and Natsume hung up the phone and saved the girl's number.

Hmm, what is a better way to fill in the contact name?

【Ito Sakurayuki】?It seems too raw.

[Ito-san]? Call me Ito-san every day. It would be better to change it.

Natsume Xun thought for a while and entered the word "Sakura Snow" in the name field.

This should be fine.

He secretly recited [Sakura Snow] twice in his mind, and thin goose bumps appeared on his skin.

This feeling, just, is quite amazing.

Ito Sakuraxue came forward, she was very curious about what kind of title Natsume Xun had saved for her.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Natsume Patrol quickly turned off her phone and put it in her pocket. She pretended to be confused and asked the girl next to her: "What's wrong?"

The girl looked away guiltily: "No, it's nothing."

He probably only has the name [Ito-kun], after all, he has always called her that.

Ito Yingxue suddenly thought of another girl.

The girl called him Brother Xun, and he must have used affectionate names like [Mumuzi] or [Sister Mumuzi].

She suddenly became unhappy.
