The snow is getting heavier and heavier.

With a howling cold wind, it seems to completely engulf the world that has been dyed white.

“…… So, let's have another little Christmas party at Chunhai's house. Raise your hand if you agree—"

Hikaru Takikawa raised his hands and waved them constantly.

Starfish looked at her and raised her hand as well.

Naruse glanced at her, and the starfish subconsciously put it down, and then it was held up by Hikaru Takikawa's wrist again.

"Now the two votes agree—"

"I exercised my veto to oppose it - it was too troublesome, and it was because I was too lazy to toss that I would have given you the gift just now."

Naruse turned her head to look at the study, where Naoko was still fiddling with her new sewing machine.

"Naoko-there's a guy named Takigawa who's going to have a party at our house—"

She came out quickly, and when she heard Hikaru Takikawa's plan, she just smiled, "Okay." ”

"yes. Now it's three votes—"

"But our family didn't eat or drink anything, and we didn't prepare at all."

"How's it about ordering takeout?" Hikaru Takikawa said.

"Who will come out to deliver food in this weather...... And whether there are any stores that are still open is still a question. Naruse shook his head.

"Okay—"

She grabbed Starfish's hand again, "The party is disbanded—"

“……”

Starfish raised her arms a little dazedly, and a hint of disappointment flashed across her face.

"Still, it's okay to leave you for dinner."

Naruse glanced at her, and then looked at the wind and snow outside the window, "If you're not afraid that you won't be able to go back later." ”

"It's okay, I'll send the two beautiful young ladies home safely then." Hikaru Takikawa said, holding the hands of Starfish and Morimi respectively.

Neither of them had an opinion and agreed to stay.

And a few people ate and drank at the party in the afternoon, and at this time there was no feeling of hunger, and dinner was postponed until seven or eight o'clock or later.

Before that, they didn't have nothing to do, each fiddling with the Christmas gifts they had just received.

In order to try out the new sewing machine, Naoko went home in the snow and brought some fabric.

"I'll make a cloth bag for my sunglasses for Hikari."

"Is that okay? All right. ”

"Originally, there was a small piece of leather, but it felt too small when I finished it last time, and I probably didn't have any chance to use it, so I disposed of it, and now I think about it......

"It's okay, it's very good. I like the feeling of softness. ”

Naruse helped carry the new sewing machine to the living room, and several people sat around the sofa, sitting on their own business while watching Naoko expertly cut the fabric.

Starfish looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but take his gift box to his side, and looked through the various high-end hair care products inside.

"Do you want to use it now?" Morimi said from the side.

"Nope." Starfish smiled a little embarrassedly.

Morimi looked at her hair and reached out to hold a strand of it. Blonde hair is soft and silky, running between your fingers.

"Starfish don't play with those hot girls anymore, do you still think blonde hair looks better?"

"Hmm...... Does Kazuha think it's not good-looking? She looked at her.

"No, it won't."

Morimi smiled at her, "Whether it's black or gold, it's perfect for starfish." ”

"Uh-huh."

Naruse glanced at the two of them, but Morimi was keenly aware of it, and he didn't look away.

"How is the Kindle, is it easy to use?"

"Hmm."

She nodded and picked up the reader on her lap, "I just didn't expect Miss Song to give me this...... This one should be very expensive. ”

"I don't know."

Naruse motioned for her to hand over the reader to herself, "But don't worry too much about it." She sent it when she thought it was suitable, she wouldn't consider the price, and of course she wouldn't want to mind. ”

"Hmm." Morimi smiled and didn't say much.

Naruse took the reader, looked at it casually for a while, and then gave it back to her.

"I've bought one before. However, after using it for a while, I found that I still prefer the feeling of turning the pages of a paper book...... That reader seems to have landed in Tokyo, too. ”

"For the sake of my family's business, please keep it up this way."

Naruse smiled, turned his head to watch Naoko sew the glasses cover, and after a while got up and went back to the upstairs room, putting away the wallet he had used before.

This was also given to him by Matsu Chiaki.

Putting away his wallet, Naruse sat at his desk for a while, and was about to go down when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened, and Morimi looked at him, "Is it hiding in the room alone to study secretly?" ”

“…… Only you would do such a thing. ”

She walked in and glanced at the desk first.

Textbooks and notes were piled up in the corner, but they were all neatly stacked, and they were obviously not put up in a hurry.

She looked at it for a moment, "Is that where Naruse usually studied?" ”

"Pretty much."

"Hmm...... Let me feel it. ”

Naruse was stunned, "What? ”

Morimi patted his chair, "I mean let me sit here for a while." ”

He got up and gave up his seat.

She sat down, her hands on the table, and slowly scanned.

"How long does Naruse study each day?"

"It depends."

"What's the situation?"

"If you want to take the exam, you have to study for a while, and you usually ...... Learn a little. ”

Morimi turned his head to look at him, "What is the specific state of the serious study before the exam that Naruse said?" ”

"Read the book, do the question."

"Isn't that the same as mine?"

Naruse was helpless, "Then what else?" ”

She didn't speak, and looked at the notebooks stacked together in the corner of the desk.

"Can I see it?"

"Please."

Morimi took the notebook in front of him and flipped through them one by one.

“……”

The content of the notes is very detailed, and there is nothing missing in the class that should be memorized, which is what a "notebook for honor students" should look like, but that's all, there is nothing special about it.

Naruse watched her expression change from the side, "Are you expecting anything?" ”

She put down her notes and answered after a while.

"I was looking for evidence that Naruse's outstanding grades were due to his unique and effective learning style...... And not because of the so-called talent. ”

"Did you find it?"

She pursed her lower lip and remained silent before speaking.

"Naruse is actually an alien."

"Huh? …… Well, you found out. ”

"What is the purpose of your coming to Earth?"

"Anger those geniuses who are actually very talented, but are always prone to self-doubt, so that you earthlings have no future."

“……”

Morimi turned his head and glared at him, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Earthlings are probably not as fragile as you think."

"Yes, then the next time I go back to my home planet, I will apply to destroy the earth directly."

She laughed anyway, turned back to the desk, and sighed softly.

"What the hell are you talking about...... Like a fool. ”

Her gaze wandered and landed on the bookshelf next to her.

"I haven't been here for half a year, and there are a lot of books on the shelves."

"I bought them all at your bookstore."

"Thank you for your patronage."

Naruse walked over and picked out a book on the bookshelf that he had read a long time ago, ready to pass the time.

"Let's go down. Or are you looking for a book to read? Gratuitous. ”

"I ...... No, let me be alone for a while. ”

Morimi half-lifted himself and lay down again.

"Don't worry, it won't touch your things, whether it's on the desk or hidden under the bed."

"There's nothing under the bed." Naruse shook his head and went down first.

Bang, the door closed.

Morimi also withdrew his gaze, his gaze fell on his notebook, and gradually diverged.

"How many people like you are out there......"
