Coming to the door, Song Qianqiu's eyes wandered, trying to find a little familiar feeling on the faces of the two girls in front of him.

"Long time no see......"

"Light." Naruse reminded beside him.

"Little Light."

"There are still months."

Song Qianqiu looked at the other again, "Satsuki." ”

"Good evening, Miss Song." Hikaru Takikawa bowed her head in greeting, and when she raised her eyes to look at Matsu Chiaki, she was also comparing something on her face.

And the other girl behind her looked delicate, and her momentum was much weaker, and she couldn't look at anyone for half a second.

"Disturbed ......"

Song Qianqiu suddenly slapped his palm.

"Ah, I remember, you are sisters of the Takigawa family. Long time no see—what a change. ”

Looking at Hikaru Takikawa, who was taller than herself, she looked at the much petite Takigawa Tsuki, "I remember that my sister is the same age as Harumi......"

"Yes." Hikaru Takikawa nodded, "But the moon is not a sister." ”

She pulled her sister, who was shrunk behind, to her front and said with a smile: "I am my sister, and Yue is my sister." I'm two years older than me, and I'm a third-year student preparing for the exam. ”

"Really? I can't really see it......"

Being looked at by Song Qianqiu up close, Takikawa Yue was so nervous that she couldn't look at her, and she was a little reluctant to look away, only to feel that her legs were weak.

"It's rude, I'm the sister of the light...... I'm your idol, please, please sign me! ”

She pulled out a signature board out of nowhere, bowed, and raised it higher than her head.

Song Qianqiu looked at the signature pad, then looked at her, and couldn't help but smile.

"My idol......"

Naruse looked at Hikaru Takikawa, and she was also smiling, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Tsuki is too nervous." ”

"Let's talk about it first."

One of the Takigawa sisters was overly nervous, the other was much more casual, and the two sat separately, and Naoko walked out of the kitchen with a glass of water.

"Ah, thank you. Has Naoko already returned from Aomori City? ”

"Just came back today." Naoko put down the water glass and smiled at Hikaru Takikawa, "Thank you for taking me to the station last time." ”

"It's just a small thing."

Hikaru Takikawa smiled and kept his gaze on Naoko's face for a few more moments before looking to the side.

Matsuchiaki was holding a pen and was signing autographs for her sister.

"Would you like to write something by the way?"

"Anything! I mean...... If you like it, it's fine. ”

Song Qianqiu thought for a while and said with a smile:

"Then write 'To my idol, Miss Takigawa Tsuki'."

was ridiculed by idols, Takikawa Yue felt so honored that she was about to cry.

"Don't bully children." Naruse said on the side.

Jokes are jokes, autographs to fans, writing messages to fans, this kind of thing Song Qianqiu can't be more proficient, and it's a casual message of thanks and support.

She closed the cap, "Is that okay?" ”

Looking at the signature board, Takikawa Yue was already satisfied, but it was rare to have such an opportunity, she still mustered up the courage to say:

"I also want a signature...... Miss Matsu's stage name when she first debuted......"

Song Qianqiu was a little surprised, and quickly smiled again.

"Okay."

When she opened the cap, she added a new name under the signature of "Matsu Chiaki": Emi Asahina.

Naruse watched from the sidelines, his eyes falling on his mother's face, but what came to mind was what she looked like nearly twenty years ago—something he had only seen in photographs.

Emi Asahina is the stage name of Matsu Chiaki when she debuted at the age of seventeen.

The following year, the name came out of Tsuzen and Aomori with a TV series, and became a household name.

And just two years later, the popular idol Emi Asahina suddenly retired and announced that she was about to get married, accompanied by another name: Mamoru Naruse.

Well-known screenwriter Mamoru Naruse.

has many works, and he is also the screenwriter of Emi Asahina's debut work "Good Morning, Miss Apple......

"Thank you!"

Takigawa Yue hugged the signature pad, and her voice trembled a little with excitement, interrupting Naruse's memories.

No matter how sincere the love is, the scenes where fans meet their idols are often similar, and he is used to seeing them;

Hikaru Takikawa felt fresh, stared at her sister's reaction for a while, and only looked away after a while.

"It's been a long time since I've been to Chunhai's house, I really miss it."

"When I said I was going to Tokyo, I didn't want to come." Naruse recalled.

"Because it's so sudden. Actually, at that time, I was quite angry. ”

"I'm sorry."

"What do you apologize for now?"

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, got up and took a turn, and went to the shrine to put incense on Naruse.

Ding——

After getting incense, she looked up the stairs, "I want to go to Harumi's room to have a look." ”

Naoko looked at Naruse.

"Whatever you want." He said.

Walking to the middle of the stairs, Hikaru Takikawa turned around again, "Won't Harumi come up?" ”

So Naruse also got up and followed.

"Or is it the same room?"

"Of course."

As soon as he pushed the door open, there was another sound of footsteps on the stairs.

Shangzi walked up: "I've never seen Sister Yue show that kind of expression." ”

"I haven't seen much of it."

Hikaru Takikawa waited for her, "Tsuki fell in love with Harumi's mother after her comeback, and now I'm so fascinated that I can't do it." ”

"Come in." Naruse had already walked into the room.

Standing at the door, Hikaru Takikawa looked left and right, as if he was observing the current arrangement, and as if he was nostalgic for the past.

"I remember ......"

She suddenly spoke, raised her hand to a corner, and did not say anything for a long time.

Naruse and Naoko looked over, and she suddenly smiled again, and whispered, "It was so funny at that time." ”

No one but herself knew what she remembered.

"Is the room already tidied up?"

"Hmm. With Naoko's help, I finally cleaned up before dark. ”

Hikaru Takikawa didn't have any specific idea of the busyness of moving, just nodded, and then was attracted by the window again, and poked his head out to look at it for a while.

Outside the window is the house of the Hana family, and the room facing it belongs to Naoko.

"Okay."

She turned around and seemed to have decided something, "Let's meet in Harumi's room in the future." ”

Naoko took a deep breath.

"What are you talking about?" Naruse didn't notice her strangeness and went over to close the window.

"It's the same as before." Hikaru Takikawa said, "Let's gather at Harumi's house first, and then decide what to do." ”

"I'm a high school student, can I still be as casual as before?"

"I don't think it's a difference."

Naruse shook his head and didn't say much.

Looking around again, Takikawa Hikaru couldn't see it, and smiled at the two: "Let's go down." ”

Back in the living room, Naruse noticed another sentence on Takikawa Tsuki's signature board.

【Come on!】 Work hard to get into Tohoku University! 】

This is naturally the handiwork of Matsu Chiaki.

"Is Sister Yue's goal Northeastern University?" Naruse asked.

Takikawa nodded, "I want to apply for the Faculty of Agriculture of Tohoku University." ”

"That's amazing."

No wonder I want to go to a study school.

Hikaru Takikawa took the signature pad and looked at it a few times, "I think Tsugaru is very good, but Tsuki said that he wanted to go somewhere else." ”

Takikawa Moon shook his head, "Tsurdai is too close......"

Tsugaru is located near Tsugara. Naruse took the bus back in the afternoon, and across the street from the platform where the bus was waiting was the Tsudai Baseball Stadium.

"Tohoku is in Sendai, it's not too close, but it's not far either, isn't it good?" Naruse said.

Takikawa nodded repeatedly.

"I always feel at ease when I let Yue go to college in another place alone."

Hikaru Takikawa looked at the signature pad and covered the [Tohoku University] on it with his hand.

"After all, since I was a child, I haven't been out alone since I was a child."

"I'm not a kid anymore......" Takikawa Yue's voice grew lower.

The identity of the elder sister and the younger sister is completely reversed, Song Qianqiu, who was watching from the sidelines, thought to himself.

She sat in the corner of the couch and flipped through the script that had just been sent to her mailbox, her main focus still on the children.

After quietly observing the sisters of the Takigawa family for a while, Matsuchiaki looked at Naoko again.

She didn't say much, most of the time just smiled to indicate that she was listening, or nodded to let the conversation continue. Other than that, it's looking at the spring sea.

Following his gaze, Song Qianqiu looked at his son again.

“…… I didn't intend to. Not at the moment. Naruse said, adding, "However, I guess the main goal is to go on to higher education." ”

"Tsundai?" Hikaru Takikawa asked, "You can live at home." ”

He smiled.

"That's pretty convenient. We'll talk about that then. ”

What is superficial is casual, but as a mother, what she sees is a certain negativity.

Song Qianqiu couldn't help but sigh, and heard an equally slight sigh again.

She looked over, and Naoko stared at Harumi's side face, indulging in indescribable emotions.

......

The Takigawa sisters didn't stay long, and they sat down for a while before going back.

Matsu Chiaki said goodbye to them, and then asked Naruse to send the two home.

"Let's go with Naoko."

She held her phone and stretched, "I'm going to take a shower, read the script by the way, and you won't have to say hello to me later." ”

"Okay."

Takigawa's house is not far away, only a few hundred meters away, and you can walk through the prefectural road in front of it or the path on the side of the farmland.

Because Hikaru Takikawa proposed to go to a convenience store, several people chose the former.

When she went to the convenience store, she brought a bottle of drink for herself and her sister, and asked Naruse what Monk Naoko needed.

"Milk."

Naoko's choice is the same as Naruse's.

Takigawa's house is diagonally opposite the convenience store, sending the sisters home, and Naruse did not stop and went back with Naoko on the path.

There were no lights on the road, but fortunately, the moonlight was bright and the road surface was white.

Next to it is the farmland, and the night wind makes a rustling sound through the middle of the rice plants.

Naruse stood at the edge of the field for a moment, looking out into the distance in the darkness. The lights were lit in twos and threes, and it was hazy, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

"It's quiet."

Naoko held the cold milk and prepared to go back and open it again, "Aren't you used to it?" ”

"A little." Naruse looked at the moon and felt that it had never been as beautiful and cold as it was today, "Just a little." ”

A warm touch came from my arm.

He lowered his head, and Naoko took his arm, smiling under the moon.

"Go back, Harumi."

"Hmm."

Back in front of the two adjacent buildings, Naoko walked to her house, "Do you want to come to my house to have a look?" ”

Estimating that he would have to wait for a while to take a shower when he got home, Naruse walked in with her.

"Excuse me."

Turn on the light, and the furniture and furnishings in the house are all available, but it gives people a feeling that is even more deserted than outside.

Over the years, Naoko has lived here almost alone, and the days with her family are numbered.

"Would you like something to drink?"

Naruse shook the milk in his hand, but he didn't open it.

Naoko smiled, "Go to my room." ”

When I came to the room on the second floor, I looked at the uniforms hanging on the wall and the half-sewn puppets on the desk, and the feeling of coldness finally subsided a lot.

"It feels a little more refined than it looks in the photos." Naruse picks up a fist-sized puppet on his desk, a hobby and specialty of Naoko, who has witnessed it from scratch in the form of photographs.

"Thank you."

Naoko smiled even more happily.

There were many puppets on the table and at the head of the bed, large and small, which she had sewn with her own hands.

"After joining the craft club, I was able to communicate with more people and learned a lot of new skills." She picks up different puppets and shows him the tricks she has already demonstrated.

Naruse looked over one by one, and suddenly said, "Give me one." ”

"Okay." Naoko immediately agreed, "Which one does Harukai want?" ”

He looked at it and pointed to the white bear at the head of the bed, "That's it, it took more than sixty days to complete...... Hmm, polar bears. ”

When the puppet was handed to him, Naoko's smile was a little dissatisfied: "This is not a polar bear. ”

"It's all white anyway."

After staying in Naoko's room for a while, Naruse went back with the white bear in his arms.

"I'm tired."

"Good day, good night."

Back on the second floor, the closed door brought a cold breeze.

The temperature in the room dropped again.

Walking to the window and seeing the light on the opposite side for the first time in a long time, Naoko only felt that her eyes were a little sour.

"Welcome back, ...... Harumi"

Whoop -

She stared for a moment, and the curtain on the opposite side suddenly opened, followed by the glass window.

The puppet, who had just left the room, appeared on the windowsill opposite and shook it twice.

"Rest early, I'll have to go out tomorrow."

“……”

I didn't hear a response for a long time, and my hand was a little sore, so Naruse poked his head out and took a look.

On the opposite windowsill, a pink rabbit sat and shook his ears too long.

"Good ......"
