The next day, in the morning.

Coming out of the house with his luggage and walking to the intersection, Naruse looked at the deserted bus stop from a distance, and then looked at the time.

"Let's go to her house."

"Hmm." Naoko answered and followed him to the Maki Hotel.

"The starfish should be up."

"If this point hasn't gotten up yet, you don't have to wait for her."

Naoko smiled.

"There's no hurry."

When I came to the real wood hotel, the door of the store at the bottom had also been opened.

"Mr. Seiichiro."

The two greeted Seiichiro Maki, and Naoko asked, "Is the starfish up?" ”

"Get up, pack your bags in your room."

“……”

Naruse raised his eyebrows, stopped talking, and waited until he reached the stairs before saying to Naoko, "She probably doesn't want to go." ”

Starfish ......

Naoko didn't know what to say.

When they arrived at Starfish's room upstairs, the two found that she had already packed her luggage, and she was struggling with what clothes to wear when she went out.

"It's warmer in Tokyo than here, so you don't have to wear too much." Naruse said, seeing that she was still wearing pajamas, she turned around and went downstairs to wait.

Naoko stayed in the room and picked it out for the starfish.

"Do you choose between these two? Then wear this one, it's not too thick but not too thin, and it's just right to wear on the road. When I got to Tokyo, I changed to this thinner one. ”

"Good ......"

Deciding on the coat, Starfish opened the wardrobe and picked out the matching bottoms, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by the clothes on Naoko's body.

"Is this outfit newly bought, I don't think I've seen Naoko wear it."

"Hmm." Naoko smiled, "I just bought it recently." ”

"Yes."

Starfish looked at it carefully, "This skirt feels a little different from Naoko's usual style." ”

"Because it was selected by Harumi." She said casually.

“……”

The starfish fell silent for a moment.

Putting down her skirt and picking out a pair of trousers that she didn't usually wear, she quickly dressed up and went downstairs with Naoko.

Naruse was chatting with Seiichiro and turned his head to look at her, "Have you eaten breakfast?" ”

"I've eaten it."

"Let's go, then."

Starfish nodded and said goodbye to his father: "I'm out." ”

"Be careful on the road. Starfish are going to trouble Harumi and Miss Matsu these days. ”

The second half of the sentence was said to Naruse, and he shook his head slightly, "No." It's better to say that it's boring to say that just me and Naoko, and I'm glad that Starfish can agree to go to Tokyo with us. ”

“……”

Starfish pouted to the side, not believing a word.

Seiichiro smiled, "That's good." ”

"We're going."

"Okay."

The three of them went out together and soon noticed Morimi standing in front of the bookstore and waving at them.

"Came here so early today?"

"I'm here to remind you not to forget to bring me a Tokyo souvenir."

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

Morimi glanced at him and smiled at Naoko and Starfish.

"Have fun."

"Uh-huh."

"When are you going to Hokkaido?" Naruse asked.

"Tomorrow. Need I bring you something. ”

"Whatever."

Saying goodbye to Morimi, the three of them continued to walk towards the station.

When passing by the convenience store, he looked at the intersection opposite, and Naruse said, "Sister Tsuki seems to have found an apartment." ”

Naoko nodded, and she also saw the message in the group chat.

"Mr. Takikawa and Mrs. Takikawa will be back tomorrow after the opening ceremony, so it looks like they will have to stay for a few more days."

"It's spring break anyway, so let her be."

Coming to the platform, the bus came quickly.

After taking a bus to the city and then a train to Aomori, the three of them boarded the Tohoku Shinkansen train an hour later.

Naruse sent a message to Matsuchiaki as soon as she got on the train, and she didn't reply until the southbound train was about to leave the Iwate realm.

He looked at his phone: "She said that when we arrived in Tokyo, Miss Sato would come and pick us up." ”

"Is Auntie busy?" Naoko asked.

"Well, I guess I'm shooting this morning."

"Miss Sato......"

"My mom said she was free."

Starfish thought for a moment, "Is that where you're going to pick us up for filming?" ”

"What are you going to do over there, to the apartment, of course." Naruse glanced at her, "She won't be back until the evening." ”

"Ahh Naoko suddenly remembered something.

Taking out her phone and swiping it, she leaned to the side, leaned against his shoulder, and shared the phone screen with him.

"Sure enough, I released the news that my aunt was in good health and went back to continue filming......"

"Followed below is the promotional poster of the new drama."

"Yes."

Starfish looked out the window.

The train is speeding and the scenery is receding.

A little over three hours later, the train arrived at Tokyo Station.

Naruse picked up his luggage and got out of the car, and Naoko and Starfish were unfamiliar with each other and followed closely behind.

Coming out of the platform, Naruse looked left and right, and soon met the sight of another looking around not far away.

"Young Master—Young Master—"

There were quite a few unfamiliar eyes concentrating on this side.

“……”

Naruse lowered his head and strode over, and couldn't help but complain, "Isn't Miss Sato shy?" ”

Matsu Chiaki's assistant, Miss Yoko Sato, smiled at him and took the luggage again, "The young master is the young master." ”

"Say no more......"

"Miss Naoko, Miss Starfish."

Although they met last year, the two still greeted her with some restraint.

"It's getting prettier." Miss Sato looked at the two of them separately, took the luggage into her hands, and lifted it with some difficulty.

"I'll take it myself." Naruse took back the luggage, Naoko did the same, and when the starfish wanted to reach out, Miss Sato had already walked forward.

"Come on, let's go to the parking lot."

"Let Miss Sato take it." Naruse said.

"Hmmm......"

The three of them followed Miss Sato.

"Is there nothing going on on the set?" Naruse asked.

"I'm busy." Miss Sato shrugged her shoulders, "But it's nothing wrong with me." Even if there is something, it is not as important as the young master. ”

"Don't shout like that......"

"Haha."

Go all the way to the parking lot and find the car. She drove Matsuchiaki's own car, which was the same red as the one she rented every time she went to Aomori.

Naoko and Starfish sat in the back, and Naruse sat down in the co-pilot and fastened his seat belt.

Turning around, Naoko was also giving the starship system a seat belt.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Sato also started the car and drove out of the parking lot.

"When you return to Tokyo after half a year, do you have any thoughts about the young master?"

Naruse looked out the window, "There are still so many people." ”

Miss Sato laughed, "This is Tokyo." ”

After driving for a while, she suddenly remembered something: "Is the young master hungry, do you want to find a place to eat first?" ”

Naruse looked back at Naoko and Starfish, and both said they were okay.

"Miss Sato is still going to the set, just send us to the apartment, and I'll take them out for dinner later."

“OK~”

More than twenty minutes later, several people came to the high-end apartment that Matsu Chiaki bought in Yoyogi.

Before slowing down into the underground parking lot, Miss Sato motioned for the two newcomers behind her to look at the park not far away.

"It's Yoyogi Park over there, it's close, right?"

The two stared blankly out of the car window.

"It's close...... Right? ”

"Miss Sato told them this, and they didn't have a concept." Naruse said.

"Okay."

She lingered no longer and pulled the car into the parking lot.

Get out of the car, take the elevator upstairs, and when you get to the floor, Miss Sato opens the door and smiles at the two girls behind her.

"Welcome to Miss Song and Master Harumi's home—"

The two looked at Naruse.

He lifted the duffel bag in his hand, "Come in." ”

Naoko and Starfish followed in, but Miss Sato was still standing at the door.

"Young Master."

Naruse turned around and understood, "Is Miss Sato going back to the set?" ”

"Yes. The spare key has been placed on the table in the living room, don't forget it when the young master goes out. ”

"I see."

Finally, she smiled at Naoko and Starfish, and Miss Sato closed the door and left first.

"It's finally ......"

Naruse sat down on the couch and looked at the place where he lived half a year ago.

"This is the apartment my mother bought the year before last, and I haven't lived here for too long......"

Naoko sat down beside him and looked at the starfish again.

"Just sit down."
