Hearing the sound of the window opening, Naruse opened his eyes, and the room was bright, and it was already the next morning.

got up and walked to the window, and Naoko on the other side pulled the curtains, sleepy-eyed.

"Good morning, ...... Harumi"

"Good morning."

Naruse went downstairs to wash, and after a while, Naoko also came over.

After making breakfast and lunch, the two of them ate and then pinched the time to prepare to go out.

"I have a PE class today, so I have to bring my gym clothes."

"Hmm."

When I arrived at the bus stop, there were already several figures waiting.

As the only public transportation in the Aoyagi area, taking a bus is the main way for students to commute to several nearby elementary and junior high schools.

"Good morning, Kazuha."

Morimi raised his gaze from the book in his hand and nodded to Naoko and Naruse.

Separated by three or two people, Starfish pointed the back of her head to this side, but the blonde hair was still too eye-catching, and Naoko went over to say hello to her again.

"Naoko...... Good morning. ”

"Starfish are also early today."

"It's not as early as that guy. Ten minutes ago, she rode her bicycle to take Sister Yue to school. ”

"I guess I have morning training today."

Naoko chatted with her with a smile on her face, turned her head to see Naruse and Morimi chatting in a low voice, and quickly returned to the other side.

Starfish was left out in the cold and slightly dissatisfied, but the target was not Naoko, but Naruse who didn't look at her at all.

Since a long time ago, Naoko has been his follower, and he always cares about his side the most.

The four of them were not far away, and after the voice was released, the starfish could hear it clearly here.

"I heard Hikari say that Morimi seems to be planning to go to the school school after the school starts." Naruse said.

Morimi nodded, and the book in his hand had already been taken back into his bag just now, "There is such a plan." ”

"How did you get back that night?"

"The last train at seven."

"It's only before seven o'clock."

"Hmm. It's only the first grade, and it's not time to work hard. ”

Naruse smiled, "'Desperate'." ”

"My goal is Kyoto University."

Morimi pushed his glasses with a serious expression, "If you don't work hard, you won't be able to stand out from thousands of competitors." ”

“……”

The whole bus stop fell silent all of a sudden, and starfish couldn't help but glance at her.

This is a leaf, an honor student in the same class as her, but a world of difference.

"yes, come on."

After the silence, Naruse was the first to speak, and her tone was so flat that she felt annoyed to hear it.

"Thank you." And Morimi was as bland as he was, "So Naruse usually has nothing to do, so don't come to me." ”

Nice, a leaf!

The starfish felt that she was fighting back, and looked over there, but just happened to catch her gaze, and quickly moved away, continuing to pretend not to care.

"But if it's a study problem, I don't mind."

Morimi's voice continued to ring, "Or rather, I'm welcome. Because any simple problem can be a vulnerability that I didn't pay attention to. Helping you is also helping myself. ”

She paused.

"Come to me as long as you're willing."

Sure enough, it's an honor student......

Starfish stared at the ground, only to think that the gaps in the floor tiles at their feet were moats, completely separating each other from each other on the same platform.

"I'm free these days." Morimi added.

Naruse finally couldn't hold back and chuckled.

Morimi immediately glared at him.

Naoko next to her didn't speak, her eyes looking back and forth on the faces of the two.

"Ah, the bus is coming."

Someone on the platform shouted, and everyone looked over.

Soon, the bus bound for Tsuzen City stopped in front of everyone.

After getting into the car, Naoko sat down by the window, Naruse sat next to her, and Morimi sat alone behind the two.

Without squinting, the starfish walked past the three of them and did not stop until the last row.

Naruse looked out the window, and a slight sigh came from behind him.

......

When he came to the school and passed by the carport near the school gate, Naruse saw a motorcycle parked in it.

It was Hikaru Takikawa's car.

When she arrived at the classroom, her place was empty, and she didn't see her school bag.

Naoko told him that when Hikaru Takikawa came to the school for morning training, he usually didn't return to the classroom until the morning shift was about to start.

"Yes."

Lacking the most necessary bit of motivation, but she never slacked off on training, which is really contradictory.

Naruse was thinking about it, when he suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the female classmate standing in front of him.

After only one day of getting along, he couldn't name most of his classmates.

The other party spoke first, "Naruse-san......"

"Hmm."

She cautiously asked, "I heard...... You are the son of that female star Matsu Chiaki, is this true? ”

“……”

It seems that as the night passed, someone gradually noticed the other labels on his body.

Naruse nodded, "Of course." ”

"That's amazing......"

The female classmate covered her mouth all of a sudden, and looked at him with an amazed gaze that seemed to witness him croaking from Song Qianqiu's stomach.

Naruse just looked back calmly.

No matter what kind of reaction the other party had, he was ready.

"That...... I love Miss Song very much, and I will always support her! ”

After being amazed for a long time, the female classmate finally had something else to do.

"Thank you." Naruse nodded, revealing a polite smile, "I'll tell her." ”

"Really? Are you still in touch with Miss Matsu?! ”

“……”

This female classmate may have some misunderstandings about the celebrity's interpersonal relationships.

"Ah, I'm sorry! What am I talking about......"

Naruse shook his head, "It's okay." ”

"-Don't worry, Mayo, Harumi is almost used to this kind of thing." Naoko next to her also spoke at this time.

"Naoko."

The female classmate named Mayo was much more familiar with Naoko, and sat down in the seat in front of her and whispered to her for a while.

After she left, before the morning shift began, something similar happened a few more times.

Naruse took it in stride, thanked his classmates for their support and solidarity with his mother, and selectively answered some questions that were a little more in-depth, and shook his head or smiled at more snooping.

"Everyone, go back to your seats, the morning shift is about to begin—"

As the teacher, Nakahara Yuki walked into the classroom, and the surrounding classmates dispersed, and Naruse couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Not only because there is no need to answer repeated questions, but also because the questions made by those classmates just now are not malicious, purely out of longing or curiosity.

- At least none of the people mentioned several of his stepfathers, and there were negative comments about Chiaki Matsu, mostly related to it.

He is not afraid of malice, but whether he chooses to ignore or fight against it, it is not a pleasant thing to do.

"Caught up with ......"

Hikaru Takikawa hurried in through the back door of the classroom, breathing a little heavily.

"Light, give—"

"Thank you."

Receiving the tissue handed by the classmate next to him, Hikaru Takikawa wiped his sweat and said hello to Naruse who turned around.

The morning shift will start soon.

"The school has approved the cultural festival project of Class C, which student is the executive committee member...... Ah, by the way, it's Tanaka-san, you can start preparing. ”

Nakahara Xue explained on the podium, "There is only one point, which the school particularly emphasizes: the content of the books shared by the private reading club must be healthy and sound. ”

A sigh of regret suddenly sounded in the classroom.

"Tanaka-san, the first thing you have to do is to compile a list of books and hand them over to me before the end of this week."

"I see, Xiaoxue."

"Call me 'Teacher.'"

After that, there are some things on the school side.

After saying this, Zhongyuan Xue picked up the attendance book and was about to leave, only to suddenly remember that he hadn't been named today.

"Ah, wait, I forgot to name names."

As a transfer student, Naruse's name is placed at the end of the list of Class C students.

"Harumi Naruse."

"Here."

Nakahara Xue had an extra explanation for him, "Don't forget to give me the Approach Hope Questionnaire earlier." ”

"Okay." Naruse nodded calmly, in fact, he had forgotten all about it, and he hadn't taken out the form since he brought it back yesterday.

"If you can't make up your mind, you can discuss it with your family or the teachers at the Pathway Guidance Department."

"I see."

Naruse responded, once again remembering Matsuchiaki, who was far away in Tokyo.

The pathway questionnaire is just a trivial matter, but what about the three-way interview that requires parents to attend a month's time?
