The next morning, the starfish came to the door early.

It's not because of Matsu Qianqiu's words before parting last night, but her schoolbag was left at Naruse's house - she came over as soon as school was out yesterday, and she didn't bring it with her when she went to dinner.

It was Naoko in pajamas who opened the door for her, and both of them were stunned for a moment.

"Good morning, starfish." Naoko reacted first and let her into the house.

"Good morning......

"Is the starfish here to get the school bag?"

Starfish nodded, looked at her pajamas and couldn't help but ask, "Does Naoko already live here?" ”

Naoko smiled, "Yes." ”

"Did the starfish have breakfast? If you haven't eaten it, eat it here. ”

Starfish wanted to agree, but she didn't really want to agree, and between hesitations, Song Qianqiu, who came out of the room with a yawn, let her stay.

It didn't take long for Naruse to get up too.

When he went downstairs, he was not too surprised to see a starfish sitting on the sofa.

"Come get your bag."

"Hmmm......"

"Have you eaten it?"

"Nope."

"I'll prepare breakfast right away...... Hmm, is Naoko already up? ”

He turned and went to the kitchen.

Starfish turned to look.

"Why did you wake up so early today?"

"There's an alarm on my phone."

"Didn't wake her up?"

"I changed it to vibrate...... Although the aunt still woke up afterwards. ”

"Let's go to sleep again."

"yes."

The two of them were shoulder to shoulder, intimate and natural, as if every morning she hadn't seen was like this.

Starfish quickly withdrew his gaze, but when he heard him speak, he couldn't help but turn his head to look.

Zizi –

The bacon is boiled in a pan.

Although neither Matsu Chiaki nor Miss Sato got up, Naoko prepared breakfast for five people.

"Leave it alone, they'll get up themselves when they're hungry."

After breakfast, the three of them went to school together.

When I got to the bus stop, Morimi asked about Starfish yesterday, and when I saw her smile, I knew the result.

"Then he ...... with you"

Morimi glanced at Naruse, "There's no reason to continue antagonizing in the future." ”

Starfish pursed her lower lip, "Probably ......"

"It's been so long, it's time for your relationship to return to normal." She added, "But don't rush, take your time." ”

The starfish could only nod their heads.

"At least we'll fix today's exam."

"I'll try my best......"

Morimi smiled, "Come on." ”

Moments later, the Takigawa sisters arrive at the platform, and the bus soon follows.

When I arrived at school, the exam information on the classroom blackboard had been updated.

The remaining exams will all be solved today, and the first session in the morning is mathematics.

Even if yesterday's exam was simple, in the face of mathematics, Hikaru Takikawa still looked like he was waiting for it at this time.

"Don't be too nervous."

Looking back at her state, Naruse smiled, "But don't be too relaxed." ”

Hikaru Takikawa was lying on the table, his chin resting on his notebook, "Where can I relax......"

"You are so nervous now, when you get the test paper and find that it is not as difficult as you imagined, you will unconsciously relax."

Naruse looked at her, "Then it will be negligent." ”

“……”

Hikaru Takikawa looked up at him for a moment, sat up straight, took a deep breath, and patted his face again.

"Okay, then relax a little. - Are there any tips for maintaining the state that Harumi said is not too nervous and not too relaxed? ”

Naruse thought for a moment.

"Do the question."

"Eh......"

At nine o'clock in the morning, the math papers were handed out and the first exam started on time.

At 2:50 p.m., as the bell rang, the last exam ended on time.

"Alright, it's time. Let's all stop. ”

The invigilator on the podium stood up, and the students below also looked relieved.

Morimi stared at the answer to the last question, and was one of the few people whose expressions did not change much.

After taking the test paper from the back seat and handing it to the front table along with her own test paper, she stretched her arms relaxed and stretched a little.

This is the end of the final exams for the second semester.

Today is Friday, and after a short break of two days, they will still have to go back to school and continue classes until the closing ceremony the day before Christmas.

At that time, the results of the final exam will also be distributed to everyone.

All the grades......

Morimi looked forward to the end result of his hard work for a semester, and turned his head to look at the other side of the classroom.

Because this exam is not too difficult, after the exam, there are many fewer lamentations in the class than before.

On the seat, the expression on the starfish's face was also relaxed.

Noticing the gaze from the other side of the classroom, she looked over as well, and Morimi smiled at her.

A short moment later, some of the first-year spiritual leaders came from across the hallway, flanked by her followers.

"I'm done with the exam—I can finally relax seriously today."

"Where are you going?"

"Anywhere."

She soon came to the classroom in Class E, "Starfish." ”

"Light."

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, "Do you want to go out and play?" ”

"Okay."

Starfish immediately agreed, then hesitated, "Where are you going?" ”

"It's not decided yet."

"When will you be back?"

Hikaru Takikawa looked at her and understood a little, "Is there something else going on with the starfish?" ”

"Hmm...... His mom asked me to go to his house today. ”

"Harumi's mother?"

"Hmm."

Hikaru Takikawa thought for a moment, "Tsukiya wants to go over to visit Harumi's mother, so let's come back early - we will go over together when the time comes." ”

"Okay."

Morimi watched from his seat, and even though he didn't participate in the conversation between the two and couldn't hear clearly, he still guessed from each other's expressions.

The final exams were over, and she had no reason to stop the starfish from going out to play, so she smiled at Hikaru Takikawa with no intention of participating, so she didn't say more.

It didn't take long for the teacher in class E to come over for an evening class meeting, and Hikaru Takikawa also saw Nakahara Snow in the corridor and returned to class C with her.

“…… After the weekend, classes will continue next week, but there are only a few days left – and even then, you can't afford to slack off. ”

Nakahara Xue said on the podium, seeing that the students below didn't have the heart to listen carefully, she raised her voice slightly.

"In addition, students who fail the final exam need to go back to school to participate in tuition and make-up exams a few days ago."

Naruse turned her head to look at Hikaru Takikawa, and she gave him a confident smile.

The evening shift didn't last long, and it ended quickly.

The ban on club activities has been lifted with the end of the final exams, and Nagase and Naoko just went to the club department to show their faces, and they didn't stay long.

- Club activities are common, but Matsu Qianqiu is not often there, and the two of them have even put aside their fixed dinner after school on Friday.

I went back with Morimi who I met at the bus stop, and as soon as I got home, Naruse saw Matsuchiaki and Miss Sato sitting on the sofa, discussing something.

"Ah, Harumi, Naoko, welcome back."

She looked as usual, but Naruse suddenly had a premonition, "Are you going back to continue filming?" ”

Song Qianqiu smiled at the assistant, "I'll just say that Harumi will be able to guess soon." ”

Miss Sato shrugged her shoulders, "I'll go back to Tokyo tomorrow morning and start filming in the afternoon - Mr. Director is in a hurry to prove that his body is okay with his work." ”

"And in order to catch up with the filming schedule, it may be a few days late at the end of the year to come back. No problem, right? Matsu Qianqiu asked.

It's just over a week until the end of the year now, Naruse shook his head.

"Take care of your side."

In the evening, Haixing and the Takigawa sisters came to the door together, and they all knew the news that Matsu Qianqiu was going to leave tomorrow, and they each expressed their reluctance.

"If you have time, you can also come and visit the class." Miss Sato said from the side.

Takikawa Moon wanted to go, "How can I have this time......"

The starfish was also a little moved, but didn't speak.

In the bottom of her heart, she still regrets that she will be separated after a long absence.

The three stayed at Naruse's house until late at night, the Takigawa sisters left first, and Matsuchiaki invited the starfish to stay overnight again.

This time, she was quick to say yes.
