Chapter 5 Boys Like Shooting in Soccer
Amakusa Shinobu's expression was serious.
"Listen up, Chitanda, boys are born with two 'q's..."
"Stop right there!"
Uchiha Ryo immediately covered Amakusa Shino's mouth, saying, "Captain, I think there's no need to talk about this."
Miyuki Shirogane gave Shino Amakusa a meaningful look. "Ahem, Captain, I don't think this is something that should be said."
Amakusa Shino nodded helplessly.
"Uchiha-kun, why can't you tell me?!" Chitanda's curious eyes were fixed on him, so Uchiha Ryo had no choice but to cough lightly and say something.
Simply put, guys all like to dribble and hold the ball.
Having broken free, Amakusa Shino added, "Because boys really like the feeling of shooting in soccer."
"From now on, I'll keep Chitanda away from Amakusa-go-go in the club..." Uchiha Ryo thought to himself.
Amakusa Shinobu, however, showed no sign of losing her composure. "I'm so happy today! All the members are here, and we can officially start club activities tomorrow."
"Minister, I have a proposal."
Amakusa Shino's eyes lit up. "Vice Minister, please speak freely."
Uchiha Ryo gave him a nonchalant look. "It's almost six o'clock. How about we disband? We can talk about club matters tomorrow."
"..."
Outside Shuchiin, Shirogane Miyuki pushed his bicycle to Uchiha Ryo's side.
"So this is what club activities are like...?"
Uchiha Ryo shook his head. "I'm sorry to have dragged you into such a strange club."
Miyuki Shirogane chuckled. "No need to apologize. Although we were just chatting today, and Captain Amakusa... has a rather unique sense of humor, I can tell that these pure interns don't reject people like me."
"Of course, not all pure colleges look down on mixed colleges that admit students from outside. They're just too intimidated by the atmosphere of their class group to talk to you."
"Yeah....."
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "That's right. For most children of wealthy families, unless you can demonstrate a higher status or greater ability than them, they won't even give you a second glance."
Shirogane Miyuki fell silent.
Uchiha Ryo stopped in his tracks. "Let's part ways here. It seems our homes aren't too far apart."
Miyuki Shirogane smiled. "Ah, see you tomorrow."
The club activity ended around 6 p.m., by which time Toyonosaki should have already finished school.
As I strolled back home and opened the door, Fujiwara Touko came out of the kitchen.
"Xiaoling's back! How's it going? Are you settling into your new school?"
"Yeah, Shuchiin is great. I've made new friends and joined a club."
Fujiwara Touko smiled and carried plates of home-style stir-fries into the living room.
"Go and tell Natsume to come down."
Uchiha Ryo stood up and went upstairs to knock on Natsume's room.
"Natsume...I'm coming in."
Pushing open the door, I saw Natsume sitting on the floor, looking down and searching for something.
"What are you doing? Dinner's ready."
Natsume turned his head and, upon seeing that it was Uchiha Ryo, said directly, "It's my grandmother... Aunt Touko said that someone sent all the things from my hometown today, and these seem to be things left by my grandmother."
"yes."
Seeing Natsume tidying up the messy items, Uchiha Ryo simply nodded, glanced at the [Contact Book] placed among the pile of clutter, and then ignored it.
"Let's tidy up after we finish eating. How was your time in Toyonosaki today?"
"Yes, the students are very enthusiastic, but there are some things they are saying that I don't understand."
Uchiha Ryo said "Oh," and then asked, "So what kind of things do your classmates talk about?"
Natsume gave a wry smile. "It seems to be related to anime, games, and comics. I don't have much exposure to these kinds of things."
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "If they want you to make contact, remember not to go too deep. The waters there are very deep... you can't handle it."
"By the way, we can walk together for the first part of the way to school, and then we can go our separate ways after we get to that really long slope."
Natsume nodded. "Okay, sure."
For the past few years, it was Uchiha Rin who protected Natsume with his Sharingan. Now, that cat should appear, right?
Thinking of the Book of Friends, Uchiha Ryo's gaze involuntarily fell on Natsume, who was eating.
Let's wait until he gains more favorability, then use the points to exchange for more abilities, and then figure out a way to solve Natsume's problems.
During dinner, Uchiha Ryo let out a burp and suddenly looked at Fujiwara Shigeru with a serious expression.
"Uncle Zi, Aunt Tago. Now that I've joined a prestigious family like Kanshu-chiin, I hope to learn to live independently."
Fujiwara Touko frowned. "Ryo, although you said last year that you wanted to live on your own, but after all..."
Uchiha Ryo shook her head. "Auntie Touko, actually, I used my writing fees to choose an apartment a few months ago, and I plan to move there when school starts. As for living arrangements, you don't need to worry about anything."
That's right, about two years ago. Uchiha Ryo had already started creating manga, publishing his work "Naruto" under the pen name "Sasuke" with Tokyo's largest manga publisher.
In a world where anime and manga often focus on swords and magic, school life, and romance, Naruto suddenly gained immense popularity.
"Xiaoling, if this is your choice, then we will support you. Is the apartment close to Shuchiin?"
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "Yes, it's only about a ten-minute walk."
Choosing to live alone outside was an inevitable choice, because Uchiha Ryo couldn't possibly bring people here to curry favor, could he? Moreover, as his abilities grew stronger, he also needed to hide his secrets more perfectly.
Fujiwara Touko nodded reluctantly.
Take good care of yourself while you're away; this will always be your home!
Uchiha Ryo scratched his head. "I only moved out to live outside so it's closer to school and I have more free time. I'll still come back often. Natsume, do you want to come with me? My place isn't far from Toyonosaki."
Natsume has many secrets, and it's not a bad idea to stay at his place rather than worry the Fujiwara couple about yokai.
"I don't need to. It's fine living here. I can also keep Tazi, Ata, and Uncle Zi company often."
Well, I almost forgot that Natsume is a gentle guy. Since the Fujiwara couple had no children of their own, they had long treated Uchiha Ryo and Natsume from their relatives' house as their own children.
Now, one of them wants to leave home and live independently, while the other naturally wants to take care of the family and prevent the middle-aged couple from feeling lonely.
"Okay, that's fine. Natsume, why don't you come over to my place sometime? My rented apartment is quite big."
