With the anticipation of Valentine's Day and the worrying annual exams over, there is only a little more than a month left for the third semester for the first and second graders, and nothing important at all.

The rest of the time, although uneventful, was also relaxing, after all, there was no pressure of exams. Looking a little longer, I'm already looking forward to the short spring break before the start of the next school year.

It's just that every time they pass by the third-grade classroom, the empty scene inside reminds them that there is a group of students who have lived here for three years and are about to leave this school in earnest.

Walking outside the classroom of Class A, where there were few people, Hikaru Takikawa took a slow breath and turned to go upstairs.

After Valentine's Day, more than a week has passed, and February is coming to an end, and it will be the day of the entrance exam for Northeast University.

The time of separation is approaching step by step, and although Chunhai once comforted that she would quickly get used to life without her sister, but before that time, she would still fall into unspeakable loss.

Back upstairs, it's lunch break, and the first and second grades are very lively.

The atmosphere in the first-grade classrooms along the way was relaxed, and as always, no one cared about the departing third-grade except her.

"Hikari~ Are you coming to me?"

"Takikawa, come in and sit down for a while."

"What are you hanging around, come and chat."

One greeting after another, filling the hole in her heart that she didn't know what else to fill, also re-uped her smile.

"Hikari hasn't been hanging out with us lately."

"Haha, I've got something."

"In addition to training, what else is there to do, isn't it to go home to accompany my sister."

"That's the most important thing."

"I really envy Takigawa-senpai, I also want to be the most important person in the light......"

"What do you say, Sayuri is the most important person to me right now."

"Ahhh

The laughter of girls is her most precious spiritual food.

But......

It's still not enough.

Waving goodbye to all the friends he met along the way, Hikaru Takikawa returned to the classroom of Class C of the year and lay down in his seat.

"Spring Sea ......"

Naruse turned his head, and Naoko on the other side also looked over.

"Hey, it's okay."

“……”

He glanced at her, turned back, and quickly turned again.

"By the way, Morimi came to look for you just now."

"Eh, a leaf?"

"Hmm."

"What's the matter?"

"She didn't say, you can ask for yourself."

Hikaru Takikawa got up again and left the classroom.

When I came to Class E, Morimi was reading a book.

"One leaf."

She looked over, "Light." ”

"Chunhai said that you have something to look for me?"

Morimi nodded and pushed down his glasses, "This weekend, I'm going to accompany Sister Yue to Sendai to take the entrance exam for Tohoku University." ”

"yes."

"I want to go with you." Morimi said, "There's nothing going on, and I want to feel the atmosphere of the entrance exam." ”

Hikaru Takikawa was stunned and quickly smiled.

"Okay!"

"When are you leaving?"

"Friday night."

Morimi nodded, "It should have passed a day earlier, otherwise the morning time will be too rushed." ”

In addition, the wind and snow are still going on in February, so it is possible that the train to Aomori or the Shinkansen from Aomori to Sendai will be affected and delayed.

"Will you go over after school on Friday?"

"Whatever."

"Then I'd better go home first."

"No problem."

After agreeing on a time and nothing else, the two chatted for a while, and Hikaru Takikawa returned to Class C.

"Kazuha said he wanted to accompany me to Sendai."

Naruse was a little surprised, thought about it for a while, and quickly understood.

"Does she want to go and get a feel for the atmosphere of the college entrance exam in advance?"

"yes. Do you want to come along? ”

"Forget it."

He shook his head.

"I don't have to feel it."

In the afternoon, the library.

"Aren't you coming?"

Retracting his gaze from the bookshelf next to him, Naruse looked at Morimi, who was sitting inside.

"What?"

"Sendai."

She took the book he was borrowing, "Didn't the light tell you?" ”

"Sister Yue's entrance exam? I said no. It's okay to just accompany them, but if you have to stay there for two days, it's a bit of a hassle, and I don't want to go. ”

"It's like getting a feel for the entrance exam in advance." Morimi said.

Naruse shook his head, "For me, is this necessary?" ”

"Didn't you?" She looked at him, "Are you really going to go to Khao Jinda?" ”

"Can't you?"

"Are you serious?" Morimi frowned.

Naruse also frowned, "Even if I want to take the entrance examination to Tokyo University or Kyoto University, there is no need to feel any atmosphere now." ”

"Oh. You're amazing. ”

Her face turned cold, and she didn't say anything more, picked up the book, scanned the barcode, and put her hands on the keyboard.

"Class and name."

"Hey ......"

"Class and name."

"One year class E, Mori saw a leaf."

“……”

She glanced at him, then clicked the borrower's class name.

Listening to the wailing of the keyboard, Naruse said, "Be gentle." ”

Syllable!

Hit enter, and she handed the book out with a blank face.

"Please keep it safe and return it on time."

"Okay."

The book was passed, and the two looked at each other, and then looked away at the same time.

What the hell are you angry about...... The two thought to themselves.

Leaving the library and returning to the upstairs club, Naoko and the other members of the restoration department were doing their own thing as usual, chatting and doing their own thing.

"And ah, she said......"

"It's really fake, why is she embarrassed?"

"I ignored her anyway."

"By the way, there's a concert at the Civic Hall on Sunday, why don't you go and see it together?"

"Ah, I had an appointment that day......"

Glancing at Naoko, Naruse sat down in the corner and flipped through the book.

Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually darkened.

When he looked up again, he saw only half of the book he had just borrowed, and Naoko was the only one left in the department in front of him.

"It's time to go home."

"Hmm."

The two pack their things, Naruse closes the door, and Naoko locks the door.

Downstairs, Naoko was about to go out, when Naruse stopped and looked into the depths of the hallway.

After a while, Morimi and a few girls he didn't know walked out of it.

It's also time for the library to close.

Seeing him and Shangzi, she was slightly stunned and walked over.

"Go back."

"Hmm."

The three of them left the school together.

Waiting for the bus to come, Naruse and Naoko got on the bus one after another, and across the aisle, Morimi sat next to the two.

"Does Naoko have time for the weekend?"

“……”

Naoko was stunned, glanced at Naruse, and leaned forward slightly.

"This weekend?"

Morimi nodded, "Hmm." ”

"I don't have anything to ......"

"Then we want to go to Sendai together?"

Naoko looked at Naruse again.

He took a breath and looked at her as well, "Why do you have to pull us in?" ”

"Because I think this is a rare opportunity - to accompany Sister Yue to the exam, you can familiarize yourself with various processes in advance, understand the problems you may encounter, and do not have to bear the pressure of the exam."

Morimi looked at them, "Even if you and Namiko don't plan to apply for other schools now, you shouldn't miss it...... It's okay with you guys anyway. ”

She paused.

"Two years later, we will be the ones who will take the exam."

Naoko pursed her lower lip and looked at Naruse again, and he looked at her.

"Does Naoko want to go?"

She smiled, "I can do it all." ”

That's not what you look at.

"Then go ahead."

Naruse agreed, and looked at Morimi, who was sitting on the other side.

"Familiar with the atmosphere? No pressure? ”

"Hmm."

"Ghost Caixin, you just want to pull me along to share the pressure."

“……”

She smiled and said nothing.

It's been seen......
