The Story of Demon Hunter

207

Next morning.

Satoru who was in the stables was busy cleaning up. When completing the clean-up task, he fed Dark Ray. Just then, the young man saw Natsumi who had also completed her task.

“What's up?” asked Natsumi who felt Satoru's gaze.

“Nothing,” reply the young man.

After saying that, Satoru immediately left. Completely left Natsumi who was speechlessly confused in her place.

Natsumi said nothing yet, Satoru has left. Go back to the dorm after work is over. This made the girl feel confused and strange. To the point that she kept thinking about it as she walked back towards the female dormitory.

At breakfast, Natsumi was not so focused. He occasionally looked towards the desks of 1st grade students, looking for a figure that made him feel curious.

“Does anyone bother you, Natsumi?” ask his classmates.

“No,” reply the girl, but her gaze still wanders.

“Are you looking for that handsome young man from Tokyo?”

Hearing that question, Natsumi immediately turned her head with a dangerous expression on her face. The girl looked at her friend with a serious expression.

“Omong blank what are you saying? Who's looking for that guy?”

Seeing the serious expression on Natsumi's face, her friends looked puzzled. One of them finally ventured to ask.

“Are your relationships not close? I mean, you two are considered a couple? You guys aren't dating?”

“Of course not!”

Natsumi immediately denied it. He felt somewhat irritated and dissatisfied, but also felt somewhat embarrassed. His relationship with Satoru himself was indeed rather close. It can't be said to be a friend or a boyfriend. However, the relationship between the two of them seemed to be little more than an ordinary friend.

“Really? I see you are good friends with Satoru-kun. If you have nothing to do with that underclassman, how about introducing him to us?” ask one of his friends.

“What?! Are you still interested in your underclassmen, not focusing on your studies?” said Natsumi with wide eyes.

“Hehehe! It seems you still don't understand, Natsumi. Look at our little sister's class. Handsome, smart, and strong. Even if it is rumored that he came here because of the loss of his parents, but his future is still there.

In addition, many of our sisters (friends) are daughters without brothers. If it was me, I wouldn't mind accepting it at all. With his physique, he could help the farm and the fields at home. Wouldn't that be considered bringing home a good husband?”

Hearing the bold words from the other friends, Natsumi immediately gasped. She did not expect that the girls had such a bold idea.

It's just that the words of some of his friends are not wrong. Some people in the countryside around their area are like that. There are quite a lot of girls who get married after graduating High School or SMK.

You could say, absolutely not thinking about getting into university. Apart from being expensive, getting into university is a bit difficult because their studies are quite poor.

“How's Natsumi? If the senpai (classmates) know that you have no relationship with Satoru-kun, maybe they will look at him. Although the possibility is small because class 3 focuses on exams, other 2nd grade students are clearly different.

Rather than glimpsed by others, wouldn't it be better to introduce it to your own friend?”

“...”

Hearing the words from her friend, Natsumi was at a loss for words. Right then, he recalled Satoru's appearance. The young man riding on the dark horse, a handsome figure who smiled gently under the red rays of the morning sun. Recalling the young man's smile in his brain, Natsumi's hand involuntarily clenched.

The girl then saw her friends laughing and joking. His expression became less friendly.

‘These little foxes ..’

During the day, Natsumi was completely unsettled.

Aside from breakfast, he tries to meet Satoru at lunch, but the young man sneaks away like a ghost. Such an incident really made him very depressed. Remembering the things that had happened earlier made him somewhat anxious.

‘Did she know that Miyuki and I deliberately asked her and Ono out on a date so they could make up? Their relationship seemed to deteriorate and ended up angry with me for feeling cheated?’

Thinking of such a plausible possibility made Natsumi feel even more uncomfortable. He only wanted to help Satoru but did not expect that it backfired, making the young man even hate him.

With the shadow of Satoru always appearing in his mind, Natsumi could not help but sigh deeply. He really could not focus on the lesson from thinking too much about the young man. So, finally the girl could only grit her teeth, waiting for the afternoon to talk to Satoru in the exculpation lesson.

***

In the afternoon.

“Did you say Uncle? Satoru-kun did not follow today's exculpation because there is an urgent interest?”

Hearing the explanation from his uncle, Natsumi could not help but say with a dumbfounded expression. He did not expect everything to be like that. Even the girl had thought that Satoru had deliberately avoided her.

“Call me Sengoku-sensei, Silly girl! Besides, is there really a problem what are you looking for that boy? If you're just curious because she didn't come, you can ask her tomorrow. Now do your job! Don't think you can be remiss just because you are my nephew!”

Mr. Sengoku said with a bad expression on his face. Lately it seems a bit irritable. Not because of any other problem, but because he had lost his salary in the past month because of the race track Ban’ei.

“Hmph!”

Seeing his unreliable uncle, Natsumi snorted. The girl then went to do her job.

After completing his task, Natsumi did not choose to ride. He headed straight to where the 1st grade children were doing hygiene duties. The goal is very clear, which is to find Ono.

Moments later, Natsumi finally finds Ono and talks to him. It was just that, after a while of talking, the girl felt somewhat confused as she did not expect that her conjecture was wrong.

“You said ... You two have made up?” ask Natsumi to make sure.

“Ya.” Ono nodded firmly. “This is just a misunderstanding.”

“It ... great then,” said Natsumi with an expression of wonder and confusion.

The girl looked at Ono. Looking up and down, he was sure that the young man was not lying at all. That made him even more confused.

‘Then why did Satoru avoid me? Is there a problem?’

Seeing the puzzled expression on Natsumi's face, Ono ventured to speak.

“Anu ... If it's about Satoru-san, maybe I have a little clue, Natsumi-senpai.”

Hearing Ono's words, Natsumi came to her senses from her daydream. The girl then looked towards Ono then asked, “What do you mean?”

“When getting a package shipment from his grandfather, Satoru-san seems a bit anxious. I don't know what's going on. It's just, it could have something to do with his grandfather. After all, he is the only member of the Satoru-san.” family

Ono's remarks made Natsumi instantly connect all the clues. Not until a while later, the girl had a bad premonition.

‘Could Satoru-kun be back in Tokyo and not be here again?’

Thinking that, Natsumi's face suddenly turned a bit pale.
