"Mr. Natsume, because of force majeure, I have to ask for leave to go out in the afternoon......"

After the first class in the afternoon, Narumi Yu walked from the classroom to Natsume Hana's office, and he couldn't think of a suitable reason for leaving along the way, so he could only say so.

"Hmm," to his surprise, Natsume Hanari smiled and nodded, "The Seirai Hospital has already contacted me in advance and said that I want you to go for a brain test." ”

"Ah...... Then I went. ”

even helped him settle the reason for his leave in advance......

"Pay attention to safety on the road~! If you need to be hospitalized, just let me know. ”

"I won't be hospitalized!"

Under the eyes of Natsume-sensei, Narumi slipped out of the office, changed his indoor shoes on the first floor, and walked towards the school gate.

It's 1:17, and Imadegawa Chisaka is already standing in the shade of the verdant trees next to the school gate.

"Ten minutes early, not bad." When he got closer, Imadegawa Chisaka looked down at the watch on Hao's wrist and nodded in praise.

Narumi Yu looked at Imadegawa Chisaka in a daze, his eyes glazed.

"What's wrong?" Imadegawa Chisaka looked up, frowned, and asked.

"It's the first time I've seen Chisaka like this."

"Good-looking?"

"No. 1 in the world."

Long-sleeved cardigan, jeans, casual espadrilles.

If Imadegawa Chisaka, who wore a white dress before, was more like a "lover", now this dress suddenly reminds Narumi of a "wife".

The beauty of Imadegawa Chisaka itself, and what attracts Narumi to think about it is the freshness of the different dresses.

Seeing that he was still not moving, Imadegawa Chisaka raised his right hand to pinch his face, rotated it clockwise, and his left hand straddled the two backpacks on his shoulder, and handed him the smaller one.

"Then go and change your clothes, don't waste time."

"Order!" Narumi Yu took the backpack, it was not heavy.

“……”

"That'...... Can you let go? ”

Under Narumi Yu's reminder, Imadegawa Chisaka looked at his face, struggled for a moment, and let go of his hand.

"Ten minutes."

"Definitely!"

Narumi threw her backpack behind her and ran towards the school.

When he came out again, he had already changed into a white sweatshirt, black trousers, and a peaked cap.

The school uniform was stuffed into a backpack and thrown in the Department of Classics.

"Where are we going?"

"Dongyang Library."

In the time he slipped into the school to change clothes, Imadegawa Chisaka had already flagged down a taxi.

Narumi sat in the car and gasped against the seat.

"Hey." The middle-aged driver glanced in the rearview mirror, nodded in response, and started the engine.

The destination location is not far from Mikagehama High School.

Narumi breathed a sigh of relief and took out his mobile phone to check where there was a pizza shop in Toyo Town.

Imadegawa Chisaka inadvertently saw it and commanded the driver, "Chestnut crepe shop." ”

"Hi ......"

When Narumi heard this, he subconsciously turned off the screen of his mobile phone, and looked up to see that Imadegawa Chisaka had redirected his gaze to the car window.

"Chisaka is familiar with Toyo Town?"

“…… Well, I've been here a few times. ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, Narumi Yu listened to Narumi Idegawa Chisaka's tone a little heavy.

But the heaviness quickly disappeared and returned to its usual appearance.

"Strawberry cream." She turned her head and said.

"Good ......" Yu Narumi stared at Imadegawa Chisaka's face for a few seconds before he realized that it was the taste of a crepe.

“…… Don't waste time? ”

"It's just a crepe, it won't be too long."

After getting out of the car, Narumi Yu bought crepes for Imadegawa Chisaka, and was forced to buy one for himself first.

Squeeze the corners of the pancakes with cream, top with toppings, and roll them up.

Indeed, now Izukawa Chisaka said that this kind of dessert, which was so simple that Narumi Yu didn't want to call it a dish, only made them wait five minutes.

The store manager also gave them a spoon for each of them.

"When?" Imadegawa Chisaka sat down on a bench under a cherry tree on the side of the road and asked him - the one with the watch was holding a crepe.

"Two and seven."

"Twenty-four minutes to go......" Imadegawa Chisaka muttered for two seconds, got up and walked in the opposite direction of the Toyo Library.

"Not going to the library?" Narumi hurriedly followed.

Until now, he still had no idea what Imadegawa Chisaka wanted to do.

It is not known what was in the larger backpack.

"It's not."

Walk across the bridge, cross the intersection, and walk a little further to the Tokyo subway station.

While Narumi Yu had already given up on Toyo Town and was thinking about what the true purpose of Imadegawa Chisaka was, the girl holding a crepe next to her stood still in front of the intersection and looked up at the traffic light.

Ask him when the red light starts flashing.

"Time, to the second."

"2:15:37"

When Narumi Yu counted, the green light happened to come on.

“…… The timing is correct. ”

"Subway frequency?"

"It's not."

Under Narumi Yu's puzzled gaze, Imadegawa Chisaka handed him the "crepe" that had eaten the strawberries and cream in his hand, leaving only the crepes, and took off the backpack on his shoulder.

Inside are two rolls of banners.

She wanted to hand Narumi a roll, but when she looked up, she saw a crepe in his hand.

“…… Stuff the bread in your mouth. ”

"Good ......"

"You take this roll of banners and go to the other side of the street." Imadegawa Chisaka took out two armbands from his backpack and put one on Narumi Yu, "Fix one end of the banner on the street lamp on our side beforehand." ”

Narumi Yu looked down at the words on the armband, there was only one word, and it seemed that it was used to disguise his identity.

"After the second traffic light after 2:30, count silently for 25 seconds, pull up a banner, and block the intersection on the east side, the sooner the better."

"Yes......"

Narumi Yu took the banner and, as Imadegawa Chisaka said, walked to the predetermined position and stood under the street lamp to look around to pass the time.

Near the subway station, there are many pedestrians at the intersection.

There is a coffee shop next to it, I don't know what the coffee tastes like, whether there is a professional barista sitting in the shop.

Looking back, the bridge he had just walked on had a slight arc, and the car on the other side of the river could only be seen by him when he drove on the bridge.

Bite~

Seeing him in a daze, Imadegawa Chisaka, who was across the street, called.

"Moxi, Moxi~?"

"There's only two minutes left, get ready."

"Hey!"

September 1, 2:30:07 p.m.

Imadegawa Chisaka hung up the phone and put the phone back in his pocket.

At 2:30:24, the traffic lights alternated for the first time, and the traffic was facing east and west, and pedestrians on the north and south sides stopped on both sides.

At 2:30:59, the traffic lights alternated for the second time, and the north-south direction passed, and pedestrians on the east and west sides stopped.

Someone looks down at their phone, someone makes a phone call impatiently, someone gets off their bike and stares at the traffic light in a daze.

The traffic light passage time is 30 seconds, and the alternate flashing time is 5 seconds.

Narumi counted silently in his heart.

The pedestrian standing next to Narumi yawned, noticed Narumi Yu with the armband, felt strange, and wanted to talk, "Hey, you ......"

Almost at the same time, Yu Narumi and Chisaka Imadegawa rushed out with the banner in their hands and ran to the other side of the intersection.
