Unscrewing the screws, removing the top cover, and under the step-by-step dismantling of Chaoyueming, the rusty Stuttgart Contax lla camera quickly turned into a pile of parts.

He lowered his head and checked it silently, and Naruse lay outside the counter, staring silently.

After a few more minutes, Chao Yueming put down the worm gear and worm in his hand, which was completely rusted, and said:

"The machine produced in Germany after the war has been sixty or seventy years old, the fuselage is seriously aging, and there are too many parts that need to be replaced, and I can't repair it here."

Naruse didn't have much hope, and directly pronounced the death sentence for this machine in his heart, but he still asked: "Can it be repaired elsewhere?" ”

Chao Yueming nodded, "There is a ...... over there in Nagano"

"- Wait a minute, which Nagano? Nagano? ”

"Hmm."

“…… Is it the only place that can be repaired? ”

"Only there can be repaired this ancient model." He continued, "But the cost of repairs is high. If you want a complete restoration, you can buy a nice new camera at the expense...... If you just need a camera. ”

Naruse concluded: "It means that it is better not to repair. ”

Chao Yueming nodded.

The professional had already given his opinion, and he took out his phone and informed the owner of the camera, Doi, of the news.

The other party also sent a reply quickly.

Buzz –

Doi: No, it's not going to be repaired.

Doi: How much can it be sold for?

Naruse looked at the second-hand shopkeeper at the counter, he had already started assembling the camera again, "Then this machine, does Mr. Shiozuki have any plans to take it?" ”

Chao Yueming thought for a moment and nodded, "You can take it." ”

"What price?"

"Twenty thousand yen."

"Can I only drive for 20,000 yen at most?"

The price offered by Shiozuki was much lower than Naruse had expected - of course, he didn't know how to do it, it was just the price he instinctively thought.

"This machine has been completely scrapped, and I told you the cost of repair, and the value is only so much. 20,000 yen, I can keep it for collection, and it won't be cost-effective if it goes above that. He paused, "You can buy something in better condition." ”

Naruse nodded in understanding, and then conveyed his meaning to Doi.

Doi was also a little disappointed, and tentatively asked who he was trading with, and if he could talk to him directly.

Naruse instantly understood his thoughts, and he didn't hide it, giving him the address of the Chaoyue Mid-House store.

When he found out that it was near Central Station, Doi said that he would come right away.

"Let's assemble it first." He shook his head at Chao Yueming, "The owner of the camera plans to come over and talk about the price in person." ”

"Don't believe in pine? If others come to talk, they can only give a maximum of 15,000. Chao Yueming said.

Naruse smiled, "It's not a friend, how can you trust me so easily." ”

Chao Yueming didn't say anything, but glanced towards the shelf.

His friend was over there.

And Hikaru Takikawa turned around alone for a long time, and at this time he poked his head out, "Harumi, there are a lot of strange things in this store." ”

Naruse answered and got up to go over.

From the year before to now, he hasn't been here for a long time, and there are more things on the shelves that he hasn't seen, which are probably all collected by Chao Yueming at the end of the year.

"How's the camera?" Hikaru Takikawa asked.

Naruse shook his head, "I can't fix it." ”

The two of them were moving between the shelves, and the slightly strange things, Hikaru Takikawa had basically seen them once, but they still followed him.

"That's not going to be repaired?"

"Hmm. The owner of the camera is going to sell it to Mr. Shiogyue and is now on his way over. ”

As he spoke, Naruse stopped, carefully picked up a mechanical alarm clock at hand, and took a closer look.

After looking around, he held up the alarm clock, and there was a string of intelligible Russian on the base.

He looked at the label under his eyes again.

"It's actually a ...... produced in the former Soviet Union"

"Wow, that must be hundreds of years, right?"

“…… No, it didn't last long. ”

Putting down the mechanical alarm clock, Naruse continued to walk forward, and Hikaru Takikawa quickly followed.

He suddenly thought of something, "Didn't anyone find a light to hang out today?" ”

"Huh?"

"I haven't seen you in a long time."

"Oh, I refused."

Hearing what he meant, Hikaru Takikawa shook his head.

"Today...... Well, suddenly I wasn't in the mood, so I didn't go out with them. And there is also the matter of Yoko's confession...... Oh. ”

"It's okay, I don't know her."

"That's good."

She smiled and continued, "All in all, I was planning to go home directly, didn't I just happen to meet Harumi. ”

He looked ahead, "Didn't the starfish look for you either?" ”

"Starfish? She came to me, I said something was wrong, and then she went home first. ”

Naruse nodded, not saying more.

The two of them spun around the shelves for a while, and the owner finally arrived here.

Receiving the news, Naruse walked out of the second-hand store and beckoned to Doi, who was looking around not far away.

"Naruse-san."

He walked over and looked at the shop next to him.

"It's the first time I've noticed that there's a second-hand shop here...... It's too small, it's inconspicuous. ”

It's really tasteless.

Naruse turned and walked into the store, "I think this scale is just right." ”

The two of them came to the counter, and Chao Yueming had already reassembled the camera.

After a brief introduction to each other, Naruse didn't care how the two were going to bargain next, and returned to the shelves to continue shopping.

Hikaru Takikawa seemed to be in a daze, and when he got closer, he realized it, put down the things in his hand and asked, "Come here?" ”

"Well, I'm talking to Mr. Tidemoon."

"Class E students, I may know ......"

She put her arm around his shoulder and looked over, "Ah, it's Doi." ”

"You know him." Naruse is not surprised.

"Friends of friends."

"What about tongue twisters."

"Haha." Back in the shelves, she put another arm on it.

After a few more minutes, Doi came over and said, "Naruse-san......"

Naruse and Hikaru Takikawa, who was on his shoulder, looked over.

“……”

Doi was stunned for a moment.

"Is it negotiated?" Naruse asked.

"Ah...... Well. ”

After turning his gaze around the two of them, Doi came back to his senses, said hello to Hikaru Takikawa, and then said, "Twenty thousand yen was sold to Mr. Shiozuki." ”

Naruse nodded, but didn't say anything.

Doi quickly leaves, and the two stay in the store for a while, with Hikaru Takikawa asking him about his next steps.

"It's fine, just wait for Naoko to come to me after school."

"Then it's better to go to the café and wait, there's air conditioning over there."

"Okay."

After saying hello to Shiozuki, Naruse and Hikaru Takikawa left the second-hand shop.

"Why does Mr. Chaoyue call Chunhai 'Song'?"

"Because all he remembers is that I'm my mother's son. Then ......"

Came to Hakaino Cafe and sent a message to Naoko, Naruse ordered a cup of coffee and asked for a small piece of cake.

Hikaru Takikawa is the same match.

"Let's go upstairs."

"Hmm."

The two of them went upstairs and found a window seat to sit down.

"Hmm-"

Sitting in the warm café, she straightened her arms and legs, stretched her long lazy waist, and suddenly leaned forward.

Occupying most of the table, she froze for a moment.

"Spring Sea ......"

"Hmm."

"Isn't spring coming, I feel a little unmotivated."

Naruse glanced at her, "It's just because of the start of school." ”

"I'm not that resistant to going to school."

"There are still two or three months left in the spring."

Hikaru Takikawa sighed and continued to lie on the table, facing the window, until the clerk brought the coffee for the two.

"Please take your time."

"Thank you."

Naruse took a sip of his coffee, frowning bitterly.

"Here comes the pick-me-up."

"Wow...... It's bitter. ”

Hikaru Takikawa put down his coffee, added a spoonful of sugar to it, and looked at him again, "Do you want it?" ”

Naruse shook his head, "And desserts." ”

After waiting for a while, the cake ordered by the two was also delivered.

Coffee and dessert alternated between his lips and teeth, and Hikaru Takikawa smiled again, only to fade into a smile.

"School starts today......"

Naruse dug up a spoonful of cake, "You really don't want to go to school." ”

"Nope."

She smiled and looked out the window again.

"But...... It's time for the start of school. ”
