"Leaving suddenly" is not a prank on the whim of Narumi Yu.

Rather, it was because when he paid the fare, Imadegawa Chisaka had already walked towards the entrance of the train station.

He could only hurriedly follow.

Walking into the station, Imadegawa Chisaka stood at the entrance of the waiting hall, quietly waiting for him.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, he didn't expect to buy tickets online, let alone that there would be many people on the train even at night.

Whether it is at the ticket office or in front of the automatic ticket machine, there are still three or four people queuing up to buy tickets.

Narumi waited at the back of the line at the ticket vending machine while watching the person in front of him operate and familiarize himself with the process of buying tickets.

Registration information is required to purchase tickets, and there is no way to buy tickets for Imadegawa Chisaka......

There are only two trains left in Kyoto, 21:00 and 21:30.

It's 8:27, and it's time to catch the train that departs at 9 o'clock.

The shinkansen takes just over two hours to drive from Tokyo to Kyoto.

If you're lucky, you might even catch the last train on the subway and train.

Tickets cannot be purchased in Imadegawa Chisaka, so if you want to sit together, it is best to buy a ticket for a non-reserved seat.

But when he clicked on the ticket purchase interface, there were no seats in the non-reserved seats.

There are also a few reserved seats, but they are scattered and separated.

That's a few thousand yen more – the state of the stateroom is the opposite of the reserved seat, with only a few slots occupied.

……

After Narumi Yu finished buying the ticket, Imadegawa Chisaka followed him into the waiting room.

If the girl could be seen like ordinary people, she would definitely be caught as a fare evader.

Get on the train and watch as the lights of the platform disappear from view as the train moves slowly.

"I don't care, but I want to ask, why did Imadegawa-san suddenly take the Shinkansen to Kyoto?"

The seats in the grand seats are wider than the reserved and non-reserved seats, which is not a good thing for Narumi in some ways.

And with the vacant seats in abundance, Imadegawa Chisaka sat across from him casually.

"Why did Narumi suddenly come to me at eight o'clock in the evening......?"

The girl leaned forward slightly, propped her right hand on the table between the two, held up her chin, and her eyes drifted nonchalantly out of the window.

"Nothing, just ......"

"I just suddenly wanted to do it." Halfway through Narumi's words, she took over, "You've already seen the news, about my father." ”

"His tomb is in Kyoto,"

"I suddenly want to go back and see."

"......" Narumi Yu knew that it was not appropriate to speak at this time, and listened quietly to the girl's words, and then fell silent with the slight noise of the train moving.

I don't know if it can be attributed to luck.

The train was quite a bit faster than usual.

It was nearly a two-and-a-half-hour drive, and it only took a little more than an hour.

When Yu Narumi and Chisaka Imadegawa arrived at the station of the Kyoto Shinkansen, it was not yet eleven o'clock.

"Would you like to eat something first?"

In the rest area, Narumi Yu saw the restaurant that was still open and asked.

Imadegawa Chisaka silently stopped in front of the self-service ordering counter and raised his hand to tap the touchscreen.

Naturally, there was no reaction.

Narumi Yu stepped forward, looked at the tonkotsu ramen under the girl's slender fingers, and ordered two servings.

The girl gently lowered her hand in mid-air and took a step back to the side, as if disgusted that Narumi was too close.

"Do you want something to drink?" He asked again.

"No, drink it yourself."

“……”

It seems to be a little angry.
