Coming all the way from Kamakura, the train arrives at Shinagawa Station and stops for a while.

Buzz Buzz –

The phone vibrated suddenly, and Naruse woke up suddenly.

Turning off the alarm clock and turning his head to look at the stop where the train stopped, he quickly woke up Naoko and Starfish, who were lying crookedly, and pulled the two of them out of the car before the door closed.

Looking at the train that was gradually starting, Naruse looked at the alarm clock that had been set to prevent him from falling asleep.

"Is the tram speeding up on the road...... The alarm clock is set two minutes in advance. ”

"It's good to wake up in time." Naoko had already woken up when he woke her up, and the starfish was still a little dazed, holding her arm, half-squinting, and standing unsteadily.

"It's not a big problem to oversleep a little, and when I got to the next stop, I also took the Yamanote Line back. Let's go. ”

"Hmm."

Dragging the starfish to the transfer, sitting all the way to Harajuku and getting off again, the three of them walked through Yoyogi Park and walked back to the apartment.

As soon as he got home, the starfish lay down on the couch.

Naruse and Naoko also leaned on the sofa for a while before recovering a little.

The starfish rolled over.

"It's a little late to say that, though...... But are we too full of schedules these days? ”

Naruse didn't speak, looking at the TV screen that wasn't turned on.

After another moment, he turned his head and saw that she was looking at him.

"Yes."

Starfish lay down again, "too tired......"

"When I was planning my itinerary a few days ago, didn't Starfish keep saying that it was rare to come to Tokyo and that I could visit a little more places?"

"Then you didn't object."

"I'm against it."

"Nope!"

"No, Chunhai sneered at the time and said, 'I can't kill you if I'm tired.'" Naoko said with her eyes closed.

“……”

What else did the starfish want to say, Naruse spoke first: "It's too late to talk about this now, can you still play tomorrow, if you can't play, just rest for a day." ”

"But Disney's ticket ......"

"I'll go next time."

Starfish muttered, "Who knows when the next time will ......"

Naruse stopped talking again.

"Let's make a decision tomorrow morning."

Naoko opened her eyes, "In this state, it's not very reliable to make any decisions." ”

"Okay."

The three of them lay down for a while, and Naruse received news from Matsu Chiaki, but it was not that she was coming back, but that it was the opposite.

"My mom said she wouldn't be back until midnight today, so she didn't have to wait for them."

"Huh...... Isn't today's shoot over yet? ”

"I'm asking, too."

After another moment, Song Qianqiu sent a reply.

"I said I was going to shoot a location in a seaside park in Tokyo Bay, and I didn't have to wait until midnight when no one was around...... I'm already resting now. ”

As soon as his voice fell, Song Qianqiu's phone called.

"Harumi is home, right?"

"It wasn't long before I got home."

"It's really hard to visit so many places in one day."

Song Qianqiu laughed, "But it's okay, when you are young, you have to toss more." ”

Naruse turned on the hands-free and closed his eyes.

"I'm already exhausted......"

"I'm tired now, what will I do tomorrow?"

Naoko and Starfish glanced at each other, each smiling bitterly.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow."

"What about the two cuties?"

“……”

Naruse opened his eyes and handed the phone to one of the cuties.

Naoko took the phone, her face was a little red, "Auntie......"

"Ah, Naoko, did you have fun going to Enoshima today?"

"Well, it's fun."

Song Qianqiu seemed to have known that the other side had turned on the hands-free, and asked the starfish directly.

"Where's the starfish?"

"Me ...... too"

"The view of the Shonan coast is nice, isn't it? When I'm fine, I occasionally drive over to check it out. ”

Although the last time it was "when it was okay" was more than half a year ago, Naruse thought to himself.

"Have you ever seen anyone surfing and it feels like you can see it all year round?"

"Uh-huh."

After chatting about the common feelings of visiting Kamakura, Matsuchiaki talked to the two about the things on the set. Miss Sato was also on the side, and occasionally interjected.

"It's really hard to find a restaurant with fewer people here......

We talked until it was almost dark, and she was ready to hang up.

"By the way, Harumi has already told you, I have to shoot until the early hours of the morning to come back, you guys can rest by yourself at night - if you still want to go to Disney tomorrow, go to bed early."

"Okay."

"Bye-bye~"

When the call ended, Naruse's phone was almost out of battery.

"What are you going to do for dinner?" He asked, looking at the two of them.

Naoko stood up with support, "I'll go get ready." ”

"Nope." Naruse pulled her back to the couch and sat down, "I mean to order takeout, although it will be delivered more slowly." ”

"No problem at all." Starfish said.

The problem is not hunger at all, but the irresistible exhaustion after a long day of travel.

Naoko hesitated for a while, she really didn't have much energy, and she couldn't even concentrate, so she nodded slowly.

"Okay."

"Whatever you want to eat, you can order it yourself."

Naruse handed them his phone, and the two browsed for a while, ordering pizza, sushi, and dessert.

"Wait, the pizza is expected to be delivered in fifty minutes, and the sushi is only slightly faster."

In normal times, Starfish would probably be the first to complain about the slow delivery speed, but now she just nodded calmly.

"Do you want to take a shower first?"

Naoko answered, just stood up, looked at him and sat down again.

"Let's wash the starfish first."

"Huh? Good ......"

Starfish has no problem with going to the shower first, but he doesn't have the motivation to go now, lying on the sofa and grinding, but he just can't get up.

Naoko urged twice more, and saw that she was still lying on the sofa perfunctory, and moved her body to her.

"Huh? Naoko ......"

Starfish turned around, and Naoko grabbed her right ankle and moved it to her calf.

"I'll help the starfish pinch."

"Huh...... All right. ”

Naoko sat on her side, both hands falling on her calves, slowly kneading.

"Hmm......"

Starfish couldn't help but let out a low cry.

"It's a little sore in my calves." Naoko said.

"It's very sore...... I've been shopping for the past two days, and I haven't had a good rest......"

She smiled and continued to knead.

"It turns out that Naoko still massages."

"No, it's just a blind press."

"Ah, that's it...... But it's also very comfortable to press. ”

"Thank you. I'm going to start straining, it might hurt a little. ”

"It's okay, force...... Ah, eh, eh, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts—Naoko, Naoko, it hurts—"

Starfish suddenly became much more energetic.

Breaking free from Naoko's "clutches", she turned around and looked at her with teary eyes.

"It hurts, Naoko......"

"Sorry...... Do I still need to keep pressing? ”

"Don't ......"

Naoko smiled slightly, "Then the starfish should go take a bath first." ”

"Okay."

Starfish climbed off the couch and finally went to take a shower.

Watching her walk to the bathroom, Naoko leaned on the couch and looked back at Naruse.

"Chunhai, be lighter."

“……”

Naruse glanced at the bathroom, didn't say anything, got up and sat down at her feet.

"I'm just going to press it blindly."

"It's okay, just lighten it up."

Holding her ankles and feeling the slight tremors coming from her body, Naruse gently kneaded them from the bottom up.

The calves and abdomen are soft and flexible, and they have been under a lot of pressure these days.

"Is this kind of force okay?"

"Yes...... Hmmm......"

Naoko lay on the couch and hummed lowly.

After pinching his right leg for a while, he pinched his left leg in the back again, maintaining the same force.

"I don't know how much it can do, and massage is also a technique."

"At least I'm feeling comfortable now......"

"That's good. Do you want to push a little harder? ”

"Hmm...... Don't push too hard. ”

"I'm not in a hurry to urge Naoko to take a bath."

“……”

She didn't speak, her left leg suddenly straightened, and she stepped lightly on his thigh.

"I'm sorry."

She snorted softly, and her foot on his leg didn't move.

Naruse pinched her two calves alternately, with moderate force and gentle movements.

Naoko was also wearing a skirt today, which was lifted up to her knees, and the black pantyhose underneath were smooth and translucent, clinging to her skin.

He pulled it up a little, then let go of his fingers, and the black silk snapped back.

“……”

Naoko looked back.

"It's nice to be resilient...... No wonder you can stuff your head into it. ”

"What is Harumi talking about?"

"I said that those robbers who rob banks don't like to wear stockings on their heads."

“…… Is Harumi thinking about this kind of thing? ”

At times like these......

"I just thought of it."

Naruse continued to pinch her legs, and her two feet suddenly became entangled together, rubbing gently, as she was in a tangled mood at this time.

"Do you want to take it off......" her voice was so low that she could barely hear her, "stockings." ”

“……”

He was silent and did not speak.

Just when Naoko thought he really hadn't heard, he spoke again, "It's all right." ”

“……”

She hesitated for a moment, but still didn't take it off.

After continuing to pinch for a moment, Naruse stopped, "It's almost." ”

"Hmmm......"

Naoko answered, but instead of getting up, she moved down and put both of her calves on his legs.

"The calves are almost ......"

She buried her face, reached behind her back, and gently tugged at the hem of her skirt.

"On the thigh side, Chunhai can also help me pinch it a little."
