Get on the Shinkansen and wait a few moments for the train to depart on time.

Leaving the station, the train travels through the plains of the city, approaches the mountains, and sps all the way to the south.

Starfish sat inside, staring out the window for a moment, and the initial novelty quickly wore off.

From Shin-Aomori to Sendai, it takes about two hours. She retracted her gaze, and Morimi next to her and Naruse, who was sitting across from her, were both holding books and reading.

"Are starfish bored?" Noticing her boredom, Naoko asked.

"It's alright......"

The two men next to each of them also raised their eyes from the book and looked over.

"Didn't you say you didn't get enough sleep when you took the train just now?" Naruse looked at her, "I can sleep for a while now." When we get to Sendai, we'll wake you up. ”

Starfish nodded, leaned down a little, and didn't fall asleep directly.

Seeing her looking at the book in her hand, Morimi leaned in too, "Do you want to tell a story to lull you to sleep?" ”

Starfish immediately laughed and puffed out again, "I'm not a child. ”

"It's so hard to get up in the morning, what time did you go to bed last night." Morimi asked.

"I don't remember...... The last time I looked at the time, it seemed to be half past one. ”

"Can't sleep?"

"A little excited."

Starfish sat up straight again, "Aren't you like that?" ”

Morimi pushed down his glasses, "I'm reading, and I'm sleepy and sleepy." ”

"I'm pretty much the same."

Naruse lifted the book in his hand, "Before going to bed, I checked the doors and windows of all the rooms by the way, after all, I have to go out for a few days, and there is no one at home." Naoko seems to have slept earlier than me? ”

Naoko nodded.

Across the middle aisle, the Takigawa sisters also sat opposite each other.

"The moon is similar to a starfish, I can't sleep all the time, and then I just got up to do the problem."

“……”

Starfish was speechless, the difference between her and Takigawa Moon was still a little big.

When she couldn't sleep, she tried a lot to empty her brain, or picked up her phone to read some foreign news that had nothing to do with her, but she didn't think about getting up to study.

Although it is indeed hypnotic......

Thinking back to the events of last night, she froze, and her body slowly slid down a little.

“……”

After another moment, Morimi turned her head to look, and the starfish leaned against her arm.

"Asleep?" Naruse looked at this.

"Hmm." She whispered in response, her body still.

She wasn't too affected either, staring at the starfish for a while before continuing to read, except that she moved softer when turning the pages.

When we arrived at Morioka, the train stopped a little longer, and the starfish woke up briefly.

“…… Have you arrived? ”

"It's still early." Morimi whispered, "Go back to sleep." ”

Finding herself leaning against her, Starfish rolled over, leaned to the other side, and continued to sleep.

Morimi moved his aching shoulders and arms for a moment.

After a brief pause of a few minutes, the train quickly restarted.

After passing through Morioka and then stopping at Sendai, the journey will take more than 40 minutes.

Turning the page, and turning the page again, until there was nothing to turn over, Morimi put down the book in his hand and looked out the window for a while.

Naruse glanced at her, and as soon as he lowered his head, he heard her say, "I'm done." ”

"How?"

She handed the book over, "It's not bad, it's worth a look." ”

"Yes." Hearing her comment like this, Naruse also had some expectations.

"Remember to give it back to me when you're done." Morimi said.

"This is my ......," he suddenly remembered that he had already given her the book yesterday, "Well, I'll give it back to you after reading it." ”

"How many books did you bring?" She asked again.

"Two copies."

A new book, an adventure she recommends.

"How long will it take to finish reading this book?" Morimi gestured for the new book he was holding in his hand.

"It's early, I've only seen a little half."

"Then show me first." She reached for the book, "Look at this or that adventure." ”

Naruse didn't refuse either, and gave her the book.

"It's not easy to read, it's only suitable for people to read quietly." He reminded.

Morimi raised an eyebrow and flipped open the cover, "Let's take a look." ”

Naoko looked at the two of them from the side, suddenly yawned, closed her eyes and leaned on Naruse's shoulder.

He tilted his head slightly, "Sleepy? ”

"A little ......"

"Do you want to read a book, I still have one in my bag."

Naoko opened her eyes, "Is it good-looking?" ”

"Morimi said it was very exciting."

The two looked at each other.

Morimi took the opportunity to speak: "Adventure theme, is Naoko interested?" ”

"Hmm, is it a happy ending?"

"Is it 'perfect'...... Mind if I spoilers? Morimi looked at Naoko and also at Naruse.

Naruse didn't speak, looking at Naoko, and she shook her head.

"A few supporting characters died slightly." Morimi said.

Naoko frowned and smiled, "I don't really like stories about people who die. ”

Morimi only smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

Naoko leaned on Naruse's shoulder again, closing her eyes and recuperating.

She looked down at the book in her hand and continued to look at it, and it took a long time before she turned to the next page.

It's really not easy to look in......

While he was sleeping soundly, the starfish was woken up.

"Hmm-"

She stretched out and looked out the window. The train hasn't stopped yet, but it's already slowing down.

"Are you going to Sendai?"

"Hmm." Naruse responded, and the book in his hand had been put into his bag in advance.

The Takigawa sisters, who were sitting on the other side, were also woken up by Naoko.

The train had already entered the city of Sendai at this time, and Starfish looked out the window, looking at the largest city in Tohoku.

Sendai is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the east and the Sea of Japan to the west, so it snows in winter, but the amount of snowfall is not comparable to that of Aomori.

There hasn't been any snow today, and the weather is still sunny enough to see far away.

She stared outside, "Sure enough, only Aomori doesn't stop snowing in winter......"

Morimi smiled and didn't correct it.

After another few moments, the decelerating train finally stopped at Sendai Station.

"Don't forget something."

Several people get off the bus here and transfer to a bus bound for Yamagata City.

Before leaving the station, a few people specially bought the station bento here as today's lunch.

"Let's eat it when we get to Yamagatata."

"Uh-huh."

Naruse walked ahead, looking at the signs in the station, looking for the right exit.

He, like them, had barely gotten off the bus in Sendai.

"Take the West Exit." Morimi followed him, and motioned with his eyes to pay attention to a sign in the station, "Go north." ”

"Hmm."

Walk out of Sendai Station and get down the pedestrian bridge, and the bus stop will be in front of you.

After waiting for a while, the bus bound for Yamagata stopped here, confirmed the frequency, and several people hurriedly boarded the bus.

"It's going to sit for more than an hour, and you didn't have a good rest last night, so you won't get motion sickness." Naruse sat down and said to the starfish that came by.

"Don't crow's mouth......"

Starfish didn't have much confidence, their eyes were blank, and they had already started to look for motion sickness bags.

"Don't give her psychological hints." Morimi, who was walking behind her, glared at Naruse, "If you want to get motion sickness, I'll vomit on you." ”

"I mean, if you're not feeling well, it's better to get in the car and sleep......"

"It's fine." Hikaru Takikawa beckoned the two of them to sit down in the back, "I'll take care of the starfish." ”

After everyone sat down, Hikaru Takikawa switched places with Morimi again, and chatted with the starfish until the bus started, easily diverting her attention from motion sickness.

"I don't know if I'll pass by that big Guanyin later, I'm looking forward to it."

"Ahhh
