In the applause, Naruse bowed his head slightly, and then turned around and stepped off the stage.

"It's a good result." Sister Yoshioka, the vice president of the student council who was waiting in the background, said.

"Do you really know how to fix everything?"

Naruse smiled, "As long as it's not too complicated, you can basically fix it—I don't think anyone expects high school students to fix things like mobile phones, TVs, or washing machines." ”

"Haha, yes. When something breaks down in the student union, I'm going to ask you for help. ”

"Okay."

Saying goodbye to Yoshioka-senpai, Naruse walked out of the backstage, and the drama department arranged at the end has already appeared.

"Ro~Mio!"

"Zhu ~ Liye!"

“Love me！”

“Love you！”

He squeezed through the crowd as he looked back.

"Why is the drama department so pompous......"

Back next to Naoko and the others, they were also staring at the performance on stage.

"This is to make the first grade feel that the threshold for acting in drama is very low, so he deliberately acted like this, right?" He asked.

Morimi shook his head: "No, our school's drama department is ...... this style."

"Chunhai just said it very well."

Naoko just looked at him when he returned.

"In a few words, the concept of the restoration department was clearly explained, and the response was very good."

Naruse smiled at her, "It's a good advertisement." ”

"Uh-huh."

The drama department is probably the only club today that feels that five minutes is too short, and the two members of the department performed exaggeratedly, but they were indeed very engaged, causing many audiences to dislike it while unconsciously watching it, without realizing that the time had exceeded five minutes.

And they are also the last club today, and the student council didn't care, so they let them continue to perform.

"Ah......h

Naoko was the first to notice this, and said to Naruse, "I'll go back to the ministry first." ”

"Hmm."

"I'll see you later."

Squeezing her hand, Naruse let go and watched her leave the gymnasium and look back at the stage.

"It's been more than five minutes."

"It's been over for a long time." Morimi said.

"No wonder they were the last to play."

After a long while, the show on stage finally ended with the fall of both "Romeo" and "Juliet".

That's the end of today's club exhibition.

Yoshioka-sanpai shouted on stage, "Please come back tomorrow afternoon-"

The four of them followed the crowd and squeezed out together.

"Which clubs will be tomorrow?"

"I don't know, in short, it's a community that didn't appear yesterday or today. There aren't many left. Naruse said, looking at Hikaru Takikawa again, "I heard that your athletic club has similar activities on the playground. ”

"Yes, but it's not as attractive as this one. Do you want to check it out? ”

"I just happen to be one of those people who can't be attracted."

"Okay."

Leaving the gymnasium, Morimi went straight to the library, while Naruse prepared to go to the restoration department to stay until the end of school.

And Hikaru Takikawa was reminded by him and decided to go to the playground to see the recruitment situation of the various clubs in the sports department.

Starfish fell to the back, looked at the three of them who were going to different places, pretended to think about it, and then followed Naruse.

When she came to the restoration department, Naruse didn't say anything, she took the initiative to sit in the corner.

“……”

He didn't know what else he could say, so he ignored her and sat down in his place and read the book.

After watching the whole exhibition, there is not much time left in the afternoon, and you can pass the time by reading a book.

Starfish sat in the corner, stared at him for a while, and then took out the magazine in her bag and flipped through it absentmindedly.

After a short while, a third man walked into the department of the repair department.

"One Leaf ......"

Looking at the pitiful starfish cowering in the corner, Morimi looked at Naruse again.

"Cold violence?"

“…… Anyway, she sat down there by herself. ”

Morimi looked at the starfish, "He said you can sit down." ”

“……”

Naruse glared at her.

Morimi ignored him, sat down next to him, and took out the book he had just borrowed from the library.

His gaze fell on the book again, "What book?" ”

She lifted it up and showed him the cover.

"This one, I read it last semester. The heroine is actually ......"

"—If you dare to spoil half a word, I'll say something you don't want anyone else to hear."

“……”

Naruse pursed her lower lip, glanced at the starfish sitting next to her, and turned away.

The room was quiet again.

The three of them sat together, each flipping through the book in their hands, without disturbing each other.

Until the fourth man came.

"Excuse me, is this the restoration department......

It's a first-year girl.

She stood at the door of the department, looking at the three inside.

Morimi glanced at Naruse and said, "Come in." ”

"Good ......"

"Are you here to commission, or do you want to join our Restoration Department?" Morimi asked.

“……”

Both Naruse and Starfish looked at her, and she didn't seem to notice it, just looking at the year-old in front of her.

She looked at Naruse, "I want to join the restoration department......"

"Can you tell us why?" It was Morimi who sat in the middle who spoke.

"I just listened to the senior's words in the gymnasium, and I felt very moved! I also want to be like my seniors and help everyone in the school to give new life to old things! The first-grader looked at Naruse and said.

"Is that all there is to it?"

"And ...... I heard that the senior is still the first year of the second grade...... It would be even better if you could also get some guidance from your seniors in your studies. ”

Morimi raised an eyebrow.

"He's got a girlfriend."

The little girl's face instantly appeared with a disappointment that could not be concealed, and she looked at her for the first time after entering the department.

"Really?"

"Do I have to lie to you?"

She looked at her, "Is it Senpai?" ”

“……”

Mori was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that the school girl in front of him became a little more pleasing to the eye.

And Naruse next to him also had to speak.

"If you're here for me, forget it."

The younger sister looked at him again, her gaze lingering on his face for a moment.

"No...... I really want to join the Restoration Department and help everyone. ”

"Is there anything you're good at?"

"No...... But after joining the restoration department, I will study hard with my seniors! ”

"He doesn't know anything himself." Morimi said suddenly.

"Huh?"

"That's it."

Naruse smiled, "If you really think like what you just said, go to the handicraft club." ”

He took out his notebook, tore a piece of paper casually, and wrote a name, "Even if you don't know anything, you can learn there." ”

He handed over the note, "Give this to the head of the handicraft club, and she will know that I recommended you there." However, she disagreed, and only she had the final say. ”

“……”

The younger sister took the note, looked at the three people in front of her again, and had no choice but to nod.

"I'll take a look......"

"She's definitely not going." Seeing the school girl leave the department, Morimi said.

"Whatever." Naruse picked up the book again.

"As soon as you show your face in the gymnasium, there will probably be a lot of such juniors coming over in the past two days...... How can the first grade be so bold. ”

Naruse sighed, "Come on, come on, it's nothing more than going through the process just now." ”

Morimi turned his head to look at him, "What if it's a second-year student who isn't easy to fool." ”

"It's the same."

"Acquaintances."

Naruse was expressionless, "My acquaintances shouldn't be so boring." ”

Morimi smiled, turned to the starfish and said, "Does the starfish want to join?" ”

“……”

Starfish looked at Naruse.

"Don't look at him."

"Want to ......"

"Where's the application form?" Morimi asked.

Naruse looked at the two of them for a while.

"Does it make a difference if you don't join, you don't come if you want to."

"After becoming an official member, at least when I help you deal with the younger sister who is brave enough to pursue love, you can be more confident."

"How can there be so many people......"

Tuk Tuk Tuk –

There was a knock on the door of the ministry.

A girl with a dark green tie poked her head out of the doorway, her eyes pointing directly at Naruse.

"That...... Is this the Department of Restoration? ”

Morimi also turned his head to look at him.

“……”

Naruse took a deep breath.

"The application is in the filing cabinet."
