This happened when I was still a young little boy. It all happened in the middle of the summer heat.
I was walking in the middle of the field, I was happily wandering around... I was sure to be having fun, but that fun had ended in a moment. That moment when I knew that I was lost.
No matter where I look, there are no people to be seen. Just plain grass and trees that surrounds the whole area. It was funny that day I almost cried...
On the verge of my own tears due to the fear and the pessimistic thoughts that entered my mind, I heard a beautiful voice. It was a girl...
"Are you okay?"
With that simple question, I was completely overwhelmed by her silk-like voice. Then, when I raised my head... In front of me was a rather beautiful girl. Her hair was braided into one side and her dress shows the purity of a true girl. His mild orange eyes that worries about my situation is what captivated me.
The moment I laid my eyes on her, I heard my heart skip a beat. I can feel the blood rushing all throughout my body, my face became hot.
My answer to her voice was smiply a nod.
"What a relief. Then, what are you doing here alone?"
Her silk-like voice continued to echo in my eardrum as if they are a lovely melody.
"I-I was lost..." My voice was trembling not because I was about to cry, but because she is simply too close to me.
"I see, what is your name?"
"Ah, I'm Kinji Mugaki. Nice to meet you. How about yours?"
"Name? Hmm, for now you can call me Natsu-onna, or Natsuna for short."
That same moment two words had caught my attention. But, I was not completely aware of what it meant so I decided to leave it for the mean time.
"Natsuna, w-what a nice name."
"Same to you too, Kinchan."
"K-k-k-kinchan?!"
I was really getting flustered the moment she said my first name... I was happy and at the same time I was beginning to forget that I was completely lost.
"What's wrong, Kinchan?"
"N-n-n-nothing."
"Say, Kinchan, do you want to play?"
"Play? What do you want to play?"
"Let's see, Kinchan! What do you want to play?"
"Hmm, I see. How about Hide and Seek?"
"Hide and Seek? How do you play that?"
It was rather very tiring to write them down into my diary if I had written the rules and how to play, it would take almost a page in my diary entry. So, I just explained to her how it was played and the rules of winning.
She was completely listening to me, without even a slight disinterest in her eyes.
Her face was reflecting the sun's rays, if I would describe her now...
I could only say that she is the offspring of summer itself.
After a few minutes of discussion that turned into a question and answer portion, we finished discussing the rules of the game.
"Did you get it?"
"Yes!" She agreed energetically while I was scratching my cheeks acting cool in front of her...
