Chapter 17

Senior Kongou’s Tea Party

Tokiwadai Middle School is located in the inner dormitory of the Gakusha Garden.

After many twists and turns, Natsume Enako finally got what she wanted and came to Senior Kongou Mitsuko’s room.

Compared to Senior Kongou’s unpleasant temper, the title of post-marriage aviation lady is more popular.

Although there are many celebrities and young ladies in Tokiwadai, the reputation of post-marriage aviation is also unique, and it is worthy of being a famous family in the aviation industry.

However, Natsume Enako has no idea about post-marriage aviation. In her impression, it should be a company that can build Gundam and has strong technological strength.

“It’s been a long time.” Natsume Enako took out her mobile phone to check the time, and a look of uneasiness appeared on her face.

It’s already late, why not not go in, anyway, the tea party has already started, and it doesn’t matter if Senior Kongou can’t talk.

“No, no, Even if I am late, I have to apologize to Senior Kongou in person. How can I pretend not to know when I am invited?” Thinking of this, Natsume Enako tidied her appearance, straightened the bun on her head, let out a long breath and prepared to ring the doorbell.

The doorbell is connected to the inside of the room and is equipped with a small communication device. After pressing the doorbell, you can talk to the person inside the door, and the volume will be appropriately amplified and reduced to a level suitable for communication between the two parties.

Natsume Enako also has this device in her room, but the door of Natsume Enako’s dormitory was damaged not long ago, and the line has not been reconnected.

“Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong.” Natsume Enako pressed the doorbell.

Natsume Enako pressed it three times in a row, and soon she heard a burst of chaos from inside.

“Senior Kongou, I am Natsume Enako who was invited.” Natsume Enako said to the door, and the voice was transmitted to the inside of the door through the communication device. And the sound inside the door can be heard clearly.

Senior Kongou seemed to be in a hurry, and there was a chaotic noise in the room, as if mixed with the sound of furniture falling to the ground.

After waiting at the door for half a minute, the door in front of Natsume Enako finally opened.

“Senior Kongou, something happened on the way, I’m sorry I’m late.” As the door gradually opened, Natsume Enako bowed slightly and said.

“Wow~Wow~Wow, since you apologized so sincerely, I will reluctantly forgive you. You came so slowly today. My tea party won’t wait for anyone.”

Before seeing her, she heard her laughter. Senior Kongou’s signature laughter reached Natsume Enako’s ears, with an arrogant tone of a lady and a hint of joy that was beyond words.

Natsume Enako’s previous uneasiness disappeared all at once, replaced by a deep sense of amazement, which was really Senior Kongou’s style.

Just when Natsume Enako looked up at the door, Weiwei and Senior Kongou looked at each other, and the whole person couldn’t help but retreat to the door, with a panic on her face.

“Snake, such a big snake.” Natsume Enako’s arms trembled slightly, and one hand raised to point at an extra-long python wrapped around Senior Kongou’s body. Hey, Is there a bow tied on her head?

It’s not that she was too scared. After all, Natsume Enako has watched many movies of Beauty and the Beast. It’s not uncommon to like to keep some strange pets. But when she opened the door and saw a big snake crawling on a person, anyone would be scared.

“Little Catherine is a lady. It’s very impolite to look at a lady with such eyes.” Senior Kongou closed the folding fan in her hand and said to Natsume Enako dissatisfiedly.

“I’m sorry.” Natsume Enako said after a while. This snake is really Senior Kongou’s pet.

Natsume Enako, who was a little scared, quickly adjusted her mood and followed Senior Kongou carefully into her dormitory.

Walking into Senior Kongou’s dormitory, what caught her eyes was the luxurious atmosphere. The two shelves were filled with various Western dolls, most of which were dressed in gorgeous young ladies.

These dolls were dressed differently and had exquisite hairstyles. They are graceful and even their movements are sophisticated, and they seem to be more ladylike than real people.

Natsume Enako looked at these dolls curiously, and even an outsider like Natsume Enako felt a sense of lifelike elegance and grace.

It seems that many people have a collecting habit.

Senior Misaka likes Kuata to the point of madness, and Kuroko-san seems to have a special liking for collecting everything about Senior Misaka, including but not limited to secretly taken photos. Natsume-san always thinks that Kuroko-san will use her space movement ability to do something incredible.

As for Senior Kongou’s habit of collecting Western dolls, Natsume Enako thinks it is a very normal hobby.

Even Natsume Enako herself occasionally buys a lot of things that she doesn’t need in the end, and finally puts her under the bed, not knowing what use she can have.

“Please sit down, Natsume-san. Here are some snacks I prepared. The pastries were specially made by the chef overnight, and the fruits were just picked today. Please don’t be polite to me after marriage.” Senior Kongou sat at the round table, still with a folding fan, opening the folding fan to cover the look of expectation on her face.

“This is the first time I’ve been invited to a tea party. Please forgive me if there is any impoliteness.” Natsume Enako spoke the truth, and her eyes unconsciously glanced at the python wandering around.

The python playing on the side seemed to notice Natsume Enako’s gaze, and looked at Natsume Enako with its tongue spitting out.

Natsume Enako then hurriedly turned her eyes and sat across from Senior Kongou.

Besides that, Natsume Enako looked around suspiciously, and did not find any other students who came to the tea party.

Is the tea party over? Or was she the only one here?

“Please have some tea.” Senior Kongou put down her folding fan, and her arrogant look seemed to have subsided. She picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Natsume Enako.

“Is this black tea?” Natsume Enako looked at the tea in the cup with some curiosity. This was probably her first time to drink black tea.

The black tea in the cup was bright and transparent, without impurities, and only a fragrant tea aroma.

After taking a sip, a refreshing fragrance flowed from between the teeth into the lungs. It was rich and mellow, clear and sweet, and not greasy at all. Instead, it had a faint sweetness.

“It tastes good.” Natsume Enako’s simple style was carried forward again, No amount of adjectives can compare to the word “delicious”.

Senior Kongou’s face was obviously flushed with excitement, as if she felt that her tea ceremony was recognized.

“Wow, now you know that my tea ceremony is also first-class, but no one can drink the black tea brewed by me.” she showed a proud look on my face, and she couldn’t help looking at Natsume Enako who was drinking black tea.

Natsume Enako felt a little awkward, but seeing Senior Kongou’s eyes, she still drank the black tea in her hand honestly.

In addition to drinking tea, the tea party is naturally about chatting. Natsume Enako was just about to chat with Senior Kongou, when Senior Kongou’s big teapot appeared in front of her.

“It seems that you can appreciate my tea ceremony. Please don’t be polite. I still have plenty of black tea.” Senior Kongou said firmly, with a gorgeous fan spread out on her face, revealing a pair of shining eyes.

The teacup was filled with black tea again. Being looked at by Senior Kongou, Natsume Enako felt a little overwhelmed.

While drinking black tea, Natsume Enako suddenly felt a sinking feeling on her back, as if something heavy had climbed onto her body.

“Natsume-san, little Catherine seems to like you very much.” Senior Kongou said with her mouth wide open, as if she was very curious about why little Catherine, who was usually close to her, was acting out of character today.

Senior Kongou’s words made Natsume Enako’s heart beat.

Natsume Enako only felt a slippery feeling, Little Catherine had already climbed onto Natsume Enako’s neck and lay on Natsume Enako’s body without moving.

“Is little Catherine sleeping?”

After about two minutes, Natsume Enako, who had gathered her courage, poked little Catherine’s head with her finger. Seeing that it had no reaction, she became more courageous and began to rub little Catherine’s body unconsciously, just like touching a kitten or a puppy.

Hmm? It’s unexpectedly comfortable, and it won’t bite.

It’s smooth and tender, as if touching a ball of jelly, and it feels extremely comfortable.

Little Catherine also felt Natsume Enako’s touch, but became more lazy. The snake head with a bow fell asleep on Natsume Enako’s head. From a distance, it looked like Natsume Enako was wearing a big red butterfly hat.

Although it’s not clear whether the two people drinking tea and chatting can be considered a tea party, Natsume Enako felt that she seemed to like this activity of drinking tea and eating snacks.

Little Catherine got off Natsume Enako and started to stroll around the room after sleeping. Senior Kongou was busy introducing the Western dolls in the room to Natsume Enako.

Natsume Enako was very interested in these lifelike dolls. The only regret was that there were no circuits or programs installed in her. She could not make fun movements like video game robots, nor could she sing and dance.

Senior Kongou’s tea party started with black tea and ended with dolls. Occasionally, little Catherine would come out to make trouble. Natsume Enako’s first tea party was at least not boring.

Although Senior Kongou looked a little arrogant, she was dedicated at the tea party. Natsume Enako could feel her attention and care.

When Natsume Enako came out of Senior Kongou’s room, it was almost afternoon.

Even though she missed lunch time, Natsume Enako’s stomach was not hungry at all. The taste of cakes and black tea was still lingering in her mouth.
