"Here they are~ baked chocolate cream bread~~" the auntie shouted.
Katsu quickly takes the bread and gives it to Natsumi.
"Oh...oh." Natsumi nodded, smelling the speculation from the bread, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva, then picked up a piece of it and put it into his mouth---for a moment, her eyes seemed to glow into stars.
"What is this?! It's so delicious!" Natsumi shouted excitedly while chewing it in big mouthfuls.
….
After paying the bill, he and then took Natsumi and slipped out carrying a whole bag of baked chocolate cream bread back home for the others.
Arriving at the shopping street outside the store, Katsu glanced at the sun still hanging high in the sky, then turned to look at Natsumi, stretched his body, and said lazily: "Okay. Now that we have finished our meal, where do you live? I'll take you back."
"… …" Natsumi paused, and then said dejectedly: "I don't have a home... How can a non-recyclable garbage like me have a good thing like a home..."
Katsu: "… …"
After being speechless for a moment, Katsu scratched his hair in distress and said helplessly.
"So... can you let me follow you?" Natsumi looked up. Completely different from her previous inferiority complex, her eyes were now full of hope.
"… …" Katsu curled the corner of his mouth and said nothing.
"I will take care of a lovely girl like you then," Katsu said, and suddenly he couldn't continue, because the girl in front of him, for some reason, suddenly had red eyes, and she clearly looked like she was about to cry!
"Are you talking about me? Cute?" Natsumi opened her eyes wide, tears welling up in her eyes, and asked in a shy but expectant tone.
"Can you say it again? Cute or something..." Natsumi suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Katsu's hand, and said with shining eyes.
To be honest, Katsu should be at the barber shop right now after school but now he feels like he is kidnapping children.
"… You… you are very cute…" Katsu said with difficulty. Although there is no doubt that Natsumi's appearance is cute, but her current state makes it really difficult for Katsu to say it…
However, Natsumi didn't care about Katsu's thoughts. She only heard Katsu say that she was cute!
Looking at the guy in front of him who looked like he was about to ascend to heaven, Katsu wanted to turn around and slip away, but his sense of responsibility did not allow him to do so.
"Come with me then. There should be some spaces left at my place but I have to cut my hair first."
Katsu shrugged, turned and walked towards the barber shop, and Natsumi hurriedly followed.
"By the way, what's your name?" While walking on the road, Katsu suddenly turned around and asked Natsumi. Pretending to act like he doesn't know her real name.
"Ah? Me? My name is Nana..." As she was speaking, Natsumi's heart suddenly skipped a beat... It was a close call, she almost blurted out... "Well, my name is Nana!"
"Oh~ Nana? That's a nice name. My name is Katsu." Katsu briefly introduced himself.
"Yeah---I understand, Katsu." Natsumi nodded seriously.
Katsu also nodded, and said nothing more---
He came to a barber shop that looked quite high-end, but there were not many people in the shop - after all, the more high-end the shop, the higher the consumption, and ordinary people don't need to go to such a place to get a haircut.
However, for someone like Katsu who loves appearance, hairstyle is still quite important.
It took nearly an hour for the barber to cut Katsu's long golden back into shoulder-length Japanese-style yellow hair.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Katsu nodded with satisfaction. Just as he was about to stand up to pay, he suddenly noticed that in the mirror, Natsumi, who was sitting behind him, was looking at him with longing.
After pondering for a while, Katsu turned to look at Natsumi and asked with his head tilted: "Um, Nana, do you want to get your hair cut?" After all, in Katsu's opinion, Natsumi's current hairstyle was really not good... It was messy and didn't look like it was properly combed at all.
"Eh? Me? Can I do it too?" Natsumi, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at Katsu in surprise.
Katsu twitched his lips again in silence, "Who can tell me how this child grew up so big?"
"Okay, no problem, come here." Katsu said helplessly, standing up and smiling at the barber next to him: "Can you also cut for this child."
Let Natsumi sit down, Katsu asked Natsumi: "What kind of hairstyle do you want?"
"What kind of hairstyle? Um---even if you ask me now..." Natsumi looked at herself in the mirror with some distress, then sighed and said: "It doesn't matter what hairstyle I want--after all, I'm so ugly..."
After taking a look at the barber who was also somewhat speechless, Katsu coughed lightly, then carefully observed Natsumi's hair. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind - emerald green hair... Isn't this the same as Hatsune Miku
I don't know if there is a Hatsune Miku in this world… but…
"Ahem, Master, comb her hair and trim it a little. Don't cut the length. Make it into two ponytails!" Katsu said with an obvious smile on his face.
"Okay." The barber nodded and picked up the spray to spray Natsumi's hair...
Katsu stood aside, watching with interest the transformation of Natsumi's hairstyle---
An hour later, after Katsu's constant instructions and the hairstylist's superb skills, Natsumi looked at himself in the mirror, opened his mouth wide, and looked incredulous: "Is this really me?"
Katsu also opened his mouth slightly and shook his head for a while: "No, this is not you, this is Princess Hatsune Miku..."
Natsumi:"???"
