After a brief pause on the bridge, Naruse twisted the throttle again and continued to drive on.

"Naruse himself understands." Morimi continued with the topic just now.

He looked at the road ahead, "Then what else can I do, leave here completely with Naoko?" ”

Hearing that as soon as he opened his mouth, he was going to leave everyone except Naoko behind, and Morimi suddenly felt a wave of anger in his heart.

"I don't know."

"Then what else are you talking about?"

"I just want to remind you that Shangzi's shield can't stop the starfish who only sees you in his eyes."

“……”

Naruse took a deep breath and looked at the sky.

"Naoko is my girlfriend, not a shield."

"Yes Yes ......"

She replied casually and hugged his waist again.

"You've been so angry lately."

He didn't look back, "It's that you're thinking too much." ”

Morimi was silent for a moment.

"Starfish says she's not going to give up."

"Then wait and cry."

"There's no hope at all."

"Nope."

"Even if it's just a physical relationship?"

“……”

Naruse is another emergency brake.

"Hmm!" She bumped into it again.

Naruse turned his head and stared at her for a moment.

"Do you need to be reminded that I'm a beginner who just touched the handlebars today? Morimi is talking nonsense, let's go over by myself, I don't want to be killed by you. ”

She lifted her glasses, "You're reacting too much." ”

Naruse was expressionless, just looking at her.

"Okay, I'm sorry."

Morimi bowed his head and apologized, but he couldn't see any sincerity.

"I'm not going to say anything like that that will shake Naruse's heart anymore."

Naruse looked at her, "You're really angry today." ”

Morimi raised his gaze, "It's that you're thinking too much. ”

“……”

She smiled, and he spun around again, twisting the throttle.

The motorcycle continues to move forward.

"Naruse is learning motorcycles, but he actually wants to leave us behind and go to school alone with Naoko." Morimi said suddenly.

"Hmm."

"But in the first year after getting a motorcycle license, you are not allowed to carry people - there is no doubt that this is what Hikari just said."

“……”

Naruse was silent for a moment, "It's okay not to be discovered by the traffic police." ”

"I'll report it to the traffic police."

"Then you go."

“……”

Oil and salt do not enter.

After staring at his back for a while, Morimi poked his head out slightly and looked ahead.

"Isn't it almost there?"

"Hmm."

"That's fast."

“……”

Naruse looked down at the arm that was hugging tighter around his waist.

Behind her back, her body was also completely up.

"Do you really know what starfish think?"

"I'm sure I know better than anyone who can speak in her name."

"Then do you care what the Starfish thinks?"

"Can't care."

"Yes."

She laughed in response, then bit her lip.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the place where Naoko and Hikaru Takigawa were, and Morimi had already distanced himself from him again.

Stepping down from the back seat, she walked straight to Hikaru Takikawa.

"I was scared all the way, but sure enough, it was more reassuring to sit behind the light."

"Hahaha."

Naruse stopped the car, "Then let Hikari pick it up." ”

"Isn't it being for you to practice now?" Morimi said immediately, staring at him, "If you really want to come here, you're here." ”

Naruse didn't say anything, turned around the car, and went to pick up the starfish again.

The remaining three looked across the river, and the starfish stood alone, seemingly looking at them as well.

"The starfish didn't move at all." Naoko said suddenly.

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, "I don't want to walk if someone comes to pick me up." ”

Naoko also smiled.

Morimi just looked at the other side.

A few minutes later, Naruse reappeared over there.

Soon, Starfish sat down behind him.

The two of them set off together in this direction.

"Don't move. I'm not very proficient yet, and if I don't control it well, I can roll over. Naruse said.

“…… Oh. ”

Starfish retracted the hand that reached for his waist and grabbed the armrest between the cushions instead.

She was a little embarrassed.

On the one hand, his thoughts about him have been revealed;

On the other hand, his rejection of her has also been written on his face.

The two have not communicated well since they met today, and Yiye has said a lot for her...... Although some emotions do not belong to her.

His reaction was familiar to her: in the guise of a friend and former brother, polite and defensive, pushing her away again if she approached.

She didn't know what the point of staying where she was or even walking a long way back, and what was the point of the extra time she had spent alone with her.

“……”

But even if it didn't make sense, she wanted to spend a little more time with him.

I really can't help myself......

Staring at his lower back, Starfish still stretched out his hand.

Naruse's whole body trembled.

Slowing down, he turned around.

"Do you want to die with me?"

“……”

Starfish was stunned for a moment, "I do." ”

"I don't want to die yet."

Her response gave Naruse a bit of a headache, and the two of them were not on the same level at all.

"Either you hold my waist at the beginning, or you keep holding on to the armrest, and if you suddenly touch it, I'll ...... Scared. ”

“…… I'm sorry. ”

He turned back again, "Be honest. ”

"Oh."

Before the motorcycle started, Starfish helped him by the waist again.

“……”

He tilted his head, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't speak.

The Honda Super Cub beneath him let out a roar and continued to drive the two to the other side of the river.

Approaching the place where the other three were, Starfish asked, "Can I still go to the Restoration Department tomorrow?" ”

"Whatever you want."

She quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Anyway, I'm not going to the ministry tomorrow."

"Huh?"

Naruse slowed down slowly and leaned towards the side of the road, "Tomorrow afternoon, there will be a club exhibition at the gymnasium." ”

The starfish also remembered, "Then I'll go too." ”

He still answered as he had just answered.

"Whatever you want."

The motorcycle stopped.

The two got out of the car and walked to the three who were waiting at the water's edge.

"The water is still a little cold." Hikaru Takikawa squatted down and fished out a handful of his hands in the water.

"It's only early April, after all." Naruse said.

She smiled, "But it's already starting to look forward to summer." ”

"Hmm."

Naruse looked up along the river, the river was turbulent, and it was not yet the rainy season, and the flow had begun to scale.

"Sure enough, Kitakigawa is more turbulent."

"Nanmu River in summer can't be underestimated, several people have drowned in the past few years." Morimi said, "The corpses have drifted to our side. ”

"Huh?" Starfish startled.

"Yes." Naoko nodded, "Did you forget the starfish, there was a little child ...... last summer"

"I remembered......"

Starfish took a few steps back.

There was no water in the first place this season, and several people had no intention of playing in the water, so they all returned to the shore and strolled around the green river at will.

Hikaru Takikawa walked ahead and looked back at the other four companions, "It seems like it's been a long time since we've walked outside with nothing to do like this. ”

"Everyone has their own business." Morimi said as he looked at the flowing river beside him.

Naruse looked at Naoko beside him, "And it's not a child anymore." ”

She looked over and smiled at him.

Starfish followed, eyes wandering over his and hers' faces: "If it's just a walk in the wilderness, it's better to play with your phone at home......"

"Yes."

Several people's eyes have their own points, but not on her. Hikaru Takikawa turned around again, looking at the vast field in front of him.

"Next ......"

Next......

"Where are you going?"

Where is she going?
