After taking a bath, Naruse wiped his hair and returned to the living room and drank a sip first.

Sitting on the couch again, he touched his girlfriend's ankle.

"Are you asleep again?"

"Asleep."

He scratched the soles of her feet.

Naoko's foot shrunk, then straightened again, stepped on his leg, and the other foot followed suit.

"Chunhai help me pinch it."

"Let's take a shower first."

"Pinch it and wash it."

"Wash and pinch again."

The two bare feet lifted up and hung limply.

Naruse had no choice but to pinch her calf.

"Hmm......"

Naoko snorted softly.

"Naoko is getting more and more coquettish now."

“…… Harumi doesn't like it. ”

"Nope." He leaned down and gently bit her ear from behind, "I like whatever Naoko does." ”

"Hmm......"

Naoko shrunk back, then turned over again and hugged his neck, her eyes gentle and moist.

The two kissed for a while.

"I'll go take a shower first......"

"Hmm."

Sitting up straight again, picking up a towel and continuing to wipe his hair, Naruse picked up his phone again and looked at it, only to find that there was an unread message.

[Kazuha withdrew a message]

Dropping his phone, he continued to wipe his hair.

In the blink of an eye, it was Friday afternoon, and after school, Naruse came to the department of the restoration department as usual.

And with him, there are also Hikaru Takikawa and starfish.

At lunchtime, Hikaru Takikawa said that he would talk to him about going to teach him to drive tomorrow after school, but when he came here, she said something unrelated to it.

He took the initiative to ask, and Hikaru Takikawa said, "Let's talk about it later when we eat." ”

“…… Let's rub the rice again. ”

"It's really ugly, it's a big deal that we pay for it ourselves."

"We'......"

Looking at the starfish nodding next to him, Naruse had a headache.

"I'm going on a date with Naoko today."

"Bringing your friends along makes you feel completely different."

"Of course it's different, isn't it the same as usual with you, is it still called dating?"

"Didn't you say it yesterday?"

"Where's the talk."

Hikaru Takikawa looked at him, "Harumi didn't refuse yesterday. ”

"I didn't say yes."

"Yiye said that when Chunhai didn't directly refuse, it usually meant that he could agree."

“…… The four-eyed girl. Naruse gritted his teeth.

"Harumi and Naoko have spent enough time alone, so let's have dinner together today. We will pay for our share. Hikaru Takikawa continued.

"What do you want to do after dinner?" Naruse looked at her.

She smiled slightly, "Tomorrow is the weekend, you can do whatever you want in the evening." Let's go to karaoke and sing for two hours~"

"It's six or seven o'clock after dinner, and we still go to sing, don't you want us to go home at night?"

"Dad is working overtime tonight, and he won't be back until ten o'clock, just enough for him to take you."

Naruse was silent.

It's the weekend, and he doesn't mind everyone going out to relax together, but he's worried that Naoko will be uncomfortable because the date time is taken up.

"Naoko's words have already been agreed." Hikaru Takikawa seemed to see through his thoughts, and suddenly said.

Naruse was stunned, "Did you ask her?" ”

"I went to Class C just now, and then I came to Class A to look for Chunhai."

He messaged Naoko and soon got the same reply.

"Okay then."

Seeing that he agreed, Hikaru Takikawa was very happy, "Sure enough, it's the same as Kazuha said, as long as you convince Naoko first." ”

“……”

Naruse frowned.

It's another leaf......

He's been dating Naoko for almost two weeks, what the hell does she want to do?

She is not a tenacious fool like a starfish, and he has already said it clearly enough.

And this morning, when we met at the bus stop, she stared at him for a long time without saying a word, and didn't say anything when asked.

It won't be for the starfish, right......

He looked at the starfish again, and subconsciously spoke: "Do you have any plans with Morimi?" ”

As soon as he asked, he thought about how to make her not care when she asked back, but he didn't expect her to nod.

"I'm going to teach Kazuha how to ride a bicycle tomorrow."

"Huh?"

Naruse was stunned for a moment.

"What?"

"It's a bicycle...... Kazuha said she couldn't ride, and I was going to spend the weekend teaching her. ”

"Kazuha wants to learn to ride a bike?" Hikaru Takikawa had apparently only heard about it.

"Yes, isn't Yiye's house a little far away, and if you can ride a bicycle, it will be much more convenient to travel between the bookstore and your home." "I rode from home in the morning, put it at the bookstore, and rode back after school. ”

"That's right."

Hikaru Takikawa nodded, then smiled again, "If Starfish is not enough alone, I can also come to help." ”

"It's just a matter of learning to ride a bike, it's not that troublesome."

Naruse glanced at her.

"Have you forgotten how bad you fell when you first learned to bike?"

“……”

The starfish puffed out her mouth, but the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl slightly.

They learned cycling together – when they were still living together.

He learned it the day he touched the bike, and spent the rest of his time taking care of her.

And she stumbled, and it took almost a week to barely learn.

During that time, the two went out with the cart in the morning, went to the nearby open space to learn to drive, and came back with the cart in the evening - she couldn't ride, he just learned, and he didn't dare to ride a bicycle to lead people, so he could only push the cart with her - it was a period of time during the cohabitation, each other's rare appearance and reality were quite harmonious.

Even if he was beaten badly before, at least during that time, he still paid a lot of patience to her, but now......

Before the mood became sad, the starfish quickly withdrew from the memories and continued:

"Yiye is smarter than me, so he should learn faster."

"Is light smarter than you, she can't learn it right away."

“……”

Hikaru Takikawa blinked, and after two seconds, he turned his head to look again.

"Chunhai isn't praising me, is he?"

"Don't overthink it."

Naruse took a breath and continued, "Since she wants to learn, then Starfish will teach her well." ”

"Uh-huh."

After that, Starfish and Hikaru Takikawa stayed at the Restoration Department until school, when Naoko came over from the handicraft club.

Hikaru Takikawa glanced at the news and said, "Kazuha said that she got out of class at around 5:40, so let's go find a place to eat first." ”

"Hmm."

Leaving the school, the four of them circled around and came to the vicinity of Tsumae Station.

There are also many places to eat here, and after a while, when I passed by an Izakaya, Hikaru Takikawa offered to go in and have a look, citing the fact that the store was lively and the prices were affordable.

"We can't drink yet, though."

"Then let's go check it out."

The environment in the izakaya is okay, and there is a private room isolated from the outside hall, so the four of them decided to have dinner here.

"Yiye is almost out of class, you can order first, I'll pick her up."

"Hmm."

Hikaru Takikawa went to pick up people, and the three of them continued to order, and then came to the private room.

"It's not the first time Izakaya has come to it, but sitting in a private room still feels like an adult." Naoko said.

Naruse smiled and sat down next to her.

"Even though it's just a one-sided feeling, the izakaya doesn't dare to sell us alcohol."

"After all, I'm still wearing Tsugar's uniform."

Starfish sat across from the two, fiddling with their phones with their heads down.

A moment later, Hikaru Takikawa came with Mori after class.

Pulling open the sliding door of the private room, she looked at the three people inside, and then looked back at the hall outside, "You guys really know how to pick a place." ”

"Haha, it's not bad."

Hikaru Takikawa pushed her in and closed the door with his hand.

The two sat down next to the starfish.

"Did you order a drink?" Naruse asked.

"It's done."

Morimi threw his schoolbag on the tatami mat and stacked it with theirs, then took off his coat and tugged at his tie to loosen it a little.

"It's a bit like an office worker who drinks after work." Hikaru Takikawa smiled.

She smiled a little too, stretched out again, and relaxed.

"Hmm—do you want to have a drink like an office worker?"

Hikaru Takikawa responded positively to her dangerous remarks, "Is it okay. ”

"No, you can't." Naruse immediately said, "People watched you come in, and even if you take off your uniform, they won't sell you alcohol." ”

"I actually said to take off my uniform and be obscene."

“……”

Naruse ignored her and continued to touch Naoko's legs under the table.

After a while, the drinks ordered by a few people were delivered to the private room first.

"Wow, the starfish actually added ice. Isn't it cold? ”

"It's okay......"

Several people raised their glasses and collided together.

"Cheers—"
