On Saturday morning, Naruse woke up a little later than usual.

Staring at the ceiling for a moment, he turned off the alarm as soon as it rang, then got up and got out of bed.

He didn't have to wear a uniform today, he picked it out a little in the closet, put on the spring dress that Naoko bought, and went downstairs to wash.

"Good morning."

Naoko has also risen.

"Good morning."

After washing up, the two of them prepared breakfast together.

"Does Naoko have any plans during the day?"

"Just stay at home."

"I'll be back soon."

"Uh-huh."

Soon after breakfast, Hikaru Takikawa rode to the door.

"Good morning. Is Chunhai ready to go? ”

"Let's go."

Saying goodbye to Naoko, Naruse sat down behind Hikaru Takikawa and prepared to leave for Ishiwa's training center.

"The weather was still good during this time, just in time for practice. During the rainy season, it is more troublesome. ”

"It's only April, so it shouldn't be delayed until then."

Arriving at the intersection, Hikaru Takikawa turned his head and drove in a direction that Naruse did not expect.

"Is it this way to Shidu?"

"You can get around it - walk a little more."

After riding forward for a while, she stopped in front of the Morimi Komoto store and honked her horn.

Morimi quickly came out of the bookstore.

"You're pretty early."

"It's almost nine o'clock, so it's not too early."

Naruse said, and looked at Hikaru Takikawa in front of him, not understanding her intention of stopping here.

Morimi handed her a note.

"Everything I want is written on it."

“OK~”

"What is this?" Naruse asked.

"I'm looking for something to buy for me. I'm going to learn to ride with a starfish today, so I don't have time to go out. ”

He glanced at the note, "Just send a message." ”

"I'm the type to see as many people as I can with my friends." She looked at him and said.

"Me too~" Hikaru Takikawa said happily.

“……”

Naruse pursed her lower lip and looked at the real wood hotel in front of her, "What about the starfish, haven't you gotten up yet?" ”

"Probably, she told me last night that the time was half past nine in the morning."

Naruse glanced at her slender legs wrapped in her trousers, "If you can, you can wear knee pads or something." ”

"How can I have this condition, I don't have a younger brother who plays baseball, and the only boy in the neighborhood doesn't play baseball."

“…… There are still a lot of boys nearby. ”

"Not familiar."

"Then you'd better be careful."

Hikaru Takikawa looked at the note and talked to her about something to buy.

"So be it. I'll send Chunhai over and go through some formalities with him, and he should be back by noon. ”

Morimi nodded, "I'm not in a hurry, be careful on the road." ”

The two said goodbye to her, and Hikaru Takikawa twisted the throttle and left quickly.

Flashing outside the Maki Hotel, Naruse saw Starfish talking to his father with his back to the door.

"It's already up to get up."

"Huh? What did Harumi say? ”

"Nothing."

Along the prefectural road, at the intersection of the river, Takigawa Hikaru turned around and rode along the course of the Kitaki River.

She suddenly laughed.

"I've already foreseen what it will be like to go out on a motorcycle with Harumi in the future."

Naruse smiled as well.

"Going anywhere on a motorbike is completely different from taking a car or a train."

"Yes, that's it."

"It's not the destination that's important, it's the scenery along the way."

"Ahh

"That's not what I said......"

Riding all the way along the Kitakigawa River to Akane Bridge, Hikaru Takikawa turned a corner and passed over the bridge.

"Is there any contact between me and Sister Yue now?"

"What are Harumi talking about......

"I mean, do you usually contact a lot."

"Let's talk a little bit every day."

After riding for a while, Takikawa Hikaru tilted his head slightly: "Why is Chunhai asking this?" ”

Naruse groaned for a few seconds.

"I'm thinking...... Is the light dependent on Sister Yue transferred to us? ”

"Eh, that's a strange question......"

"Didn't Hikari let Morimi find a way to keep us together?"

"Did Kazuha tell Harumi?"

"Hmm."

She stopped at the intersection and said, "I think it's more fun to be with everyone." ”

Naruse nodded, not saying more.

She turned, "Does it make Harumi feel uncomfortable?" ”

"No, that's fine now."

Hikaru Takikawa laughed, "That's good." ”

Just for now.

Naruse looked at the countdown red light in front of him, and Hikaru Takikawa suddenly turned around again.

"There is a long section of the road where there are no cars, so do you want to try it yourself?"

"Yes."

"Then let's switch places."

"Hmm."

Hikaru Takikawa got out of the car, he moved forward, held the handlebar, and she quickly sat up again.

"Green light—"

Naruse twisted the throttle and crossed the intersection.

Riding on a county road with almost no vehicles, the spring breeze was blowing, and both of them quickly relaxed.

"Spring Sea."

"Huh?"

"Hurry up."

"I'm scared."

"Hahaha-"

Hikaru Takikawa opened his arms and greeted the wind.

“We all live in a yellow submarine，yellow submarine，yellow submarine~”

（The Beatles·《Yellow submarine》）

Naruse also hummed along.

"Hikari seems to like this song very much."

"yes, but that's all I can say."

"Me too."

“Yellow submarine~”

The roads in the fields are straight ahead, and compared to last week, the greenery on both sides is even stronger, and the spring is stronger.

After a few more rides and a few turns, the number of houses on the side of the road gradually increased.

Finally, I turned a corner and continued to ride forward for dozens of meters, and a large open space appeared on the side of the road, and many vehicles were parked in the open space.

"This is it."

"Hmm."

Hikaru Takikawa moved forward, leaned on his back, and pointed forward.

"Moving on, this is the training ground, and the registration place is still ahead."

“…… Anyway, I'm at the door of the training center, do you want me to ride, won't I be caught? ”

"Oh oh yes...... Hurry up and change back. ”

Naruse parked the car, and the two switched places again before riding over.

Stopping the car, Hikaru Takikawa led him in and came to a window.

"Hello, my friend wants to get a driver's license."

Naruse stepped forward, and the first thing the staff inside was to ask him if he was Japanese.

"Yes."

"Are there a lot of international students who have come to get a driver's license lately?" Hikaru Takikawa asked.

"Yes, there was an international student who was brought here by a friend."

The staff replied as he took out a bunch of documents and asked Naruse to look at them and fill them out.

"Are there a lot of people signing up now?" Hikaru Takikawa asked again.

"It's not much, sign up now, and you can get a class as soon as tomorrow."

"That's great, I should be able to get my driver's license in a month."

The staff looked at Naruse, "Motorcycle driver's license?" ”

"Yes."

"It's not a big problem."

When Naruse signed his name on a pile of documents, the staff explained to him some precautions for class.

After going through the process like this, it was finally time to pay.

"You can pay by cash or credit card."

Looking at the fee of more than 100,000 yen, Naruse said, "Credit card." ”

"Okay."

After paying the money, the next steps don't need Hikaru Takikawa to take him with him - after paying the money, Naruse is already a student at the training center.

A staff member took him to have his eyesight checked.

"Please follow me."

After checking his eyesight and confirming that there was no problem, Naruse was then taken to take a passport photo.

Click!

With the photo he had just taken and pasted it on the file he had just created for him, the registration process was over, and the next thing was to wait for the training center to arrange for him to come to class.

"Let's go to the classroom where it's going to be class."

Hikaru Takikawa took him upstairs to the classroom where he had taken classes before.

"This is it. If it goes well, Harumi will be able to come over for class tomorrow. ”

Naruse looked at it, and there were some people sitting sparsely in the classroom, all ages, and it was not yet class time, and the students were touching their mobile phones.

After looking at it for a while, Hikaru Takikawa pulled him downstairs.

"Let's go to the training ground too."

"Okay."
