Telling his father of his decision, Starfish took a sip of the glass and pretended to be calm, but his eyes never took off his face.

After being surprised, Seiichiro Maki thought about it for a while and asked:

"I went to Tokyo to learn makeup...... Is it reliable? ”

"Reliable."

She nodded a little harder, then picked up the school materials that were placed aside and handed them to him, "This is the school that Chunhai helped me choose." ”

As soon as he heard that Naruse was also involved, Seiichiro's heart was relieved.

He took the information he couldn't understand, glanced at it a few times, and put it down again.

"Does Chunhai think it's okay too?"

"Uh-huh. He also said that when I went to Tokyo to learn makeup, I could stay at his house. ”

"I'm going to disturb Miss Song."

"No...... Aunt she ......"

She wanted to say that Song Qianqiu liked her very much, but Song Qianqiu could say this kind of thing at will, and she was still a little shy to say it herself.

"All in all, no problem."

"Have you thought about it?" Seiichiro looked at his daughter and asked.

Starfish also looked at him and nodded solemnly.

"I had this plan when I came back from Tokyo, and after thinking about it, I came to my father."

Seeing his daughter's statement, he also nodded.

"Is that okay?" Starfish was overjoyed and confirmed again.

"Absolutely. Since this is something that the starfish wants to do on its own, Dad has no reason to object. Seiichiro said.

In any case, it is a happy thing for my daughter to find such a clear purpose and direction in life.

The starfish was also very happy, but soon thought of something again, looked at his father, and said tentatively:

"If you go to beauty school, the tuition is quite expensive......

"How much?" Seiichiro asked.

Starfish picked up the information again and pointed to one of the tables, which listed some numbers.

"In the first year of enrollment, I have to pay more than 1.5 million yen in tuition."

“……”

Seiichiro's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the other number that followed behind him.

"I have to pay more than 1.1 million yuan in the second year...... The total is 2,680,000 yen. ”

Starfish pointed to the tuition fee and looked up at his father.

"Isn't it too expensive......

"It's expensive." Seiichiro said.

“……”

"But the family can afford it."

Seiichiro looked at his daughter, "As long as Starfish really wants to become a makeup artist, even if this hotel is sold, Dad will provide for Starfish to go to school." ”

“……”

Starfish wanted to cry, but picked up the water cup and held it, hiding his face in the small cup.

“…… I'm serious. ”

"Then go boldly."

"Hmm!"

With his father's approval, the last stone hanging in the starfish's heart was also put down.

Back in her room, she lay in bed and couldn't help but fantasize about her future as a well-known makeup artist and haunt various celebrities.

"If I could, I would like to become the exclusive makeup artist of Harumi's mother...... Ah, but she doesn't have to film every day, if she only becomes her exclusive makeup artist, will it affect her income? ”

The starfish lay on the bed for a while, and Seiichiro told her to go down and run errands and go to the convenience store to buy something.

As soon as I walked near the intersection of Naruse's house, a bus drove up.

When she walked to the door of the convenience store, Morimi, who had returned on the bus just now, also walked from the platform to this side.

"One leaf."

“……”

She raised her gaze, only then noticing her, "Starfish." ”

"Did Kazuha just come back from the school?"

"Hmm."

Morimi nodded and looked at the convenience store on the side, "Want to buy something?" ”

"yes."

She lifted the bag on her shoulder and walked into the convenience store.

Starfish quickly found what Seiichiro was looking for, and looked at Morimi again, who was standing in front of the freezer in a daze.

"What do you want to drink?" She asked suddenly.

"Eh......"

Morimi smiled at her, "I'm in for a treat." ”

"Then juice, thank you~"

"Starfish pick it yourself."

She walked over, picked through the glass for a moment, pulled open the sliding door, and pulled out a bottle of juice.

Morimi looked inside, and it seemed that he couldn't decide.

And just as the starfish was about to close the glass sliding door, she raised her hand and took a carton of milk out of it.

"Drinking more milk seems to promote breast development."

“…… Huh? ”

"Is it true?"

“……”

Starfish looked at the milk she held on her chest, and then at her breasts, which weighed much more than herself.

"I don't know ......"

"It's all protein, so it should have some effect."

"Hmm...... I remember Kazuha didn't like to drink milk very much? ”

"Yes."

Morimi suddenly smiled, "Because I didn't grow tall when I was a child, my parents let me drink milk every day." For a while, I felt like throwing up when I smelled milk......"

Starfish blinked, glancing over her head.

At that time, the thin and small leaf has grown so tall now, is it the effect of drinking more milk?

"But when I grew up, I realized that there were more things I hated than milk...... The milk looks at it and feels close. The fact that I don't like to drink milk has become a thing of the past. ”

She shook the milk in her hand, "This is the brand I used to drink when I was a kid." ”

Starfish replied blankly.

Morimi didn't say much, took the juice from her hand, and went to the checkout with the milk.

Drops –

The clerk is a middle-aged woman who lives nearby, and she knows them, "Did Kazuha and Starfish just get out of school?" ”

"Pretty much."

"It's hard work. Thank you for your patronage. ”

"You're welcome."

Coming out of the convenience store, the two walked back together.

Opening the juice and taking a sip, the starfish looked up at the sky.

It rained in the morning until the afternoon, and then it was cloudy, and in the evening, the sun came out, and the western sky was bright.

"I don't know if it's going to rain tomorrow......"

"According to the weather forecast I read in the afternoon, there will be a light rain tomorrow morning."

"That's right...... It's raining so much, isn't it the rainy season? Starfish said casually.

“……”

Morimi turned his head to look at her, took a deep breath, and still couldn't hold back.

“バカ！”

（ba ka）

"Eh......"

was suddenly scolded, and the starfish was stunned for a moment.

"It will be at least two months before the rainy season begins on Aomori's side. Like Naruse, did you just come back from Tokyo? ”

"Yes, the rainy season is in June...... I forgot. ”

Seeing her smiling, Morimi knew that he was overreacting, but he still sighed.

"It's already second grade, don't still act like a fool all day long."

"I ...... I still remember it...... I accidentally forgot about it just now. Starfish defended herself.

It was rainy in June, and it began to snow in November, look, didn't she remember it very well?

"I'm not talking about the rainy season."

"What's that......" Starfish asked.

Morimi was silent for a moment.

When she spoke again, she jumped on to another topic:

"Naruse said that he would help you choose a school, have you chosen it?"

"Uh-huh, it's decided."

"Which school?"

"Yamano Beauty College."

Morimi pondered for a while, she didn't have any concept of beauty school, she focused on other places, "Did he choose it for you?" ”

"He was only willing to help me screen, and in the end I made the decision myself." Starfish said.

"Really......"

Morimi nodded and said no more. I held the milk in my hand and never opened it.

The two of them continued on walking, and it was not until they were almost at their bookstore that she spoke again.

"Starfish."

"Huh?"

"Do you really want to be a makeup artist?"

"Huh...... Of course. ”

Morimi stopped and looked at her.

"Even if you break up with your current friends, will you continue to work towards this goal?"

"Huh?"

"For example, that friend is Naruse."

“……”

Starfish opened its mouth.

"Why do you want to break up your relationship?"

Morimi took a breath.

"Who knows, maybe one day you'll suddenly look at him unpleasantly...... Don't think why, just think it's a possibility in the future.

What will the starfish do in this situation? Will you give up learning makeup, after all, this is the future he planned for you. ”

Starfish pinched the juice and was stunned.

Break up......

Did she break up with him?

How far does he have to go before she really breaks up with him?

Do you want to hurt her again like you did before?

But even though so many things happened during the winter vacation, after a few months, she still continued to stick to him.

She and him will probably never be truly separated......

"Ahh......h A leaf? ”

Morimi gently pinched her face, his brows furrowed, and his face was full of helplessness.

"I'm asking the starfish to think about it...... What are you giggling at? ”
