Staying at the Chaoyue Mid-House until more than four o'clock in the afternoon, Naruse was ready to go home.

While waiting at the bus stop, he saw Hikaru Takikawa passing by on a motorcycle.

She noticed him too.

Looking at each other, before Naruse could say hello, she had already turned back.

"Yo."

She pushed up the mask, propped one foot on the ground, and hooked her hands in a dashing manner, "Get in the car." ”

Naruse looked at the back seat of the motorcycle and didn't refuse.

"Let's hang things in front."

"Give."

Hikaru Takikawa took the bag and glanced at it casually, "Clothes? ”

"Uniforms." Naruse straddled behind her, "Tsugar." ”

"Ah, it's fast."

Hikaru Takikawa handed over the helmet and waited for him to put it on before twisting the accelerator, "Sit down." ”

"Hmm."

The motorcycle roared suddenly, and Naruse grabbed the handrail and looked ahead in the wind.

Naoko said that she was often cared for by Hikaru Takikawa, and that it was the first time he had ridden in her car.

"Nervous?"

Naruse smiled, "No problem." ”

"Haha, rest assured."

Hikaru Takikawa let out a confident laugh and twisted the throttle, "Do you want to hurry up?" ”

"No, so be it."

"When did Harumi come over?" She tilted her head, her eyes still looking at the road ahead, "When I went out, I didn't see anyone at the bus stop." ”

"I'll be out in the morning."

"It's early." "A couple of girls asked me to go to karaoke, and then I went for a cup of coffee and a few desserts, and just came back from the end. ”

"It's busy." Naruse is in the same class as her, and she sits close to her, so she already has a more intuitive understanding of her popularity.

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, "Isn't it every day that someone comes to ask Harumi to go and play with him?" ”

"I don't really like going out."

"Huh?" She looked back.

Naruse immediately became nervous, "Look ahead." ”

Hikaru Takikawa looked ahead again.

"yes, I'm almost forgetting that Harumi is not the same as before."

"It's better that I've found another way to be entertained."

"Do you want to read a book?"

"Hmm."

Hikaru Takikawa muttered meaninglessly for a moment.

"What about today? Harumi came over in the morning, not just to get a uniform. ”

Naruse looked at her helmet and told her about how much of the day he had spent in the second-hand shop.

“…… I had a good chat with the owner of that store, and when I have time, I will also go to the store to help. ”

"Part-time job?" Hikaru Takikawa asked.

"Not really." Naruse shook his head, "It's just multiple places to go after school." ”

"yes, then I'll check it out, too." Hikaru Takikawa smiled.

"We look forward to your patronage."

"Haha."

Although the speed of the motorcycle was not too fast while riding and talking, it was still not comparable to the bus, and it didn't take long for the two to return to Aoyagi.

"That's fast."

"After I graduate, I can take Chunhai to school every day."

Naruse just smiled, noncommittal.

Sending him home, looking at the closed door, Hikaru Takikawa pulled down the transparent mask and twisted the accelerator.

"Go back. Say hello to Naoko for me. ”

"Hmm."

......

The next day, on Monday morning, Naruse was waiting at the bus stop in Tsugaraka's uniform, and Kazuha Morimi came over to say hello.

"Not bad. Although in terms of temperament, he is still a bit like a down-and-out boy who has fallen to the high school of a rural county. ”

"Thank you." Naruse smiled, as if she were complimenting.

Morimi frowned, but didn't say anything more, and turned back to where he was.

"Kazuha seems to have something else to say." Naoko, who was watching from the sidelines, said.

Naruse felt the same way, thought about it and shook his head, and said, "It's probably not a nice word." ”

The bus stop was so big that she walked to the other side, obviously not wanting to talk to him.

Naoko smiled, "Kazuha often says things that hit the nail on the head. ”

Naruse looked at the literary girl with a sideways face, "That's to see something in me that makes her dissatisfied, but I feel that the relationship between us is not good enough to point it out casually." ”

His statement silenced Naoko for a moment, and then said, "Shall I ask?" ”

Naruse was about to say that it didn't matter, but Yuguang caught a glimpse of the bus coming and grabbed her.

"Let's talk about getting in the car."

The bus stopped, and the students waiting on the platform boarded the bus one after another.

Naruse took one last glance before getting into the car, but still didn't see the starfish.

Overslept?

Or had she already taken the earlier bus to school?

"Starfish are on duty today."

He turned his head to look, but Morimi behind him just waved his hand, urging him to get into the car quickly.

Naoko was already seated, and Naruse sat down next to her and looked at Morimi who was walking behind:

"Mind reading?"

She seemed to smile and pushed her glasses again, her eyes deep.

"That's right. You have to be careful. ”

Naruse won't take it seriously.

Just turned his head and saw that she had been sitting in the back row, far away, and he didn't say anything more to her.

Nothing to say all the way.

At Tsumae High School Station, the bus stops.

Naruse and Naoko walked in front after getting out of the car, and Morimi followed and had no intention of following.

When they arrived at the school, the two went up the stairs in the middle. Around the corner is the E-class classroom, and Naruse glanced inside, and the starfish had indeed arrived.

She was standing in a chair and writing something on the blackboard.

Catching a glimpse of someone watching, she glanced at it, then quickly turned her head away, her blond ponytail swaying.

“……”

Naoko smiled at Naruse, and at the same time confirmed that the two had not communicated at all since the day the typhoon passed.

When I came to the class C classroom, Hikaru Takikawa's seat was empty, and I don't know if I was in the gymnasium for morning training or if I didn't come to school.

The girls greeted Naoko, their eyes occasionally drifted to Naruse, and they would whisper something to her, and Naoko would smile at her.

Naruse put down his school bag, took out the completed questionnaire and went to the staff room alone.

"Tsudai ......"

Zhongyuan Xue obviously had just arrived at the school, and the desktop was messy and in a hurry, but she didn't care about anything else at this time.

"Naruse-san, are you sure you want to take Tsu University as your first goal, it's too safe, right?"

He was not surprised by his reaction to being a teacher, "It's a national university anyway." ”

"No, I mean that with Naruse's grades in Tokyo, he can compete for some prestigious schools that are ranked higher." Zhongyuan Xue looked at him and said.

Naruse shook his head, "I think Tsundai is also good." ”

"Is there any particular reason?" Nakahara Xue asked again.

"My friends have chosen Tsunda."

"That's it?"

Naruse nodded, "That's all my pursuit. ”

“……”

Nakahara Xue was silent for a while, her eyes full of pity.

She didn't give up, "After the evening class meeting, does Naruse-san have time?" Let's talk to the teacher again. ”

Naruse was a little helpless, but she also understood that being a teacher would not give up easily, and at this time, no matter how much she said, she would not change her plans, so she could only respond.

"Okay."

"Great. Nasuse-sango will go back to the classroom first......"

"—Mr. Nakahara."

Kobayakawa, the head of education, suddenly strode into the staff room, nodded at Naruse, who was still a little impressed, and turned to look at Nakahara Xue with a serious face.

"Delay Mr. Nakahara a little: Hikaru Takikawa, who is in Class C of your year, was caught riding a motorcycle into school again today."

Naruse looked at Hikaru Takikawa, who came in with him, and she quickly noticed him, her eyes lit up, and she seemed to be a little surprised.

"Harumi was also arrested?"

Naruse shook his head.

"Originally, it was already allowed to ride a motorcycle to school, but it was only required to come down and ......implement it when entering and leaving the school gate," Kobayakawa said, turning his head and glancing at her.

"Sooner or later, you're going to bump into other students!"

"I see...... That's one, Naruse-san, let's go back first. Zhongyuan Xue was full of headaches, and she couldn't take care of him anymore.

Naruse nodded, greeted the three of them individually, and then turned to leave the staff room.

The voices inside still caught up with some of it.

"Takikawa-san, didn't you promise the teacher before?"

"Well, I promise I won't bump into anyone."

"No, I'm not talking about ......"

"It's too late to bump into it! Although the atmosphere of Tianjin University is free ......"

Is the school spirit free?

Outside the staff room, Naruse touched his earrings and walked to the classroom.
