Opening the cupboard, Morimi took out a clean plate and used it to decorate the snack.

"Yiye, is the cup placed in this?" Naoko asked from the side.

"In the cupboard above...... Naoko go sit down, I'll pour a drink. ”

"It's okay, I'll do it."

Opening the cupboard and taking out four cups, Naoko rinsed them slightly before taking them to the sink.

Morimi opened the refrigerator, "There is only juice and barley tea, so let's take them all." ”

"Okay."

Back in the living room and asking about their needs, Naoko poured herself and Morimi a cup of barley tea, and then poured juice for Hikaru Takikawa and Starfish.

Hikaru Takikawa raised his glass, "Cheers to the girls' meeting—"

The three of them also raised their glasses and touched each other.

After clinking glasses, Morimi said, "What kind of woman will, I just want to take a break." ”

Hikaru Takikawa smiled slightly.

"You can also have a snack and chat while you take a break."

"I knew there was still this link, so I asked Hikari to come back with some other snacks yesterday...... There are only a few cookies left in the house. ”

"The cookies taste good, too." Starfish said, biting on the biscuit.

"By the way, and jam...... Morimi got up again and left the living room.

When she came back and sat down, Naoko asked:

"Did Kazuha do it himself?"

"No, my cousin brought it to me when she came over the other day."

"Kono-san?"

"Hmm."

"Is there something wrong with her coming?" Hikaru Takikawa asked.

"It's nothing, she's coming with her parents. It's just an ordinary greeting between relatives. ”

The four of them chatted, ate snacks and drank drinks.

The topic also rambled and jumped around.

"Kono-san, I've heard of it at Tsunan High School......"

"When I came back from the training center with Harumi yesterday and went to the mall to help Kazuha buy something, I saw a new ...... opened there."

"Did you watch a show last night? Street interview in Tokyo with the topic of ......"

"Anyway, it's this time, and the cherry blossom festival is about ......."

After chatting for almost half an hour, Morimi returned to the courtyard to continue practicing, and the three of them also came to sit on the edge of the edge.

After watching it for a while, Hikaru Takikawa couldn't help but go over for personal guidance.

"When turning, the car has to lean with the body, and the body is too straight......"

The remaining two looked at the edge, and Naoko smiled, "Hikari is surprisingly good at teaching this kind of thing." ”

"Ahh......h

Starfish nodded, and she spoke suddenly, thinking that she had noticed that she was peeking at her.

Naoko is still the same Naoko.

Growing up together, they went to Tokyo together some time ago, and now they are his girlfriends, Naoko has not changed much, what has changed is her mentality.

Suddenly withdrawn from her usual ordinary life, she was horrified to find that she seemed to have fully accepted it.

He chose Naoko.

Naoko is his girlfriend.

She only wanted to get more attention from him, but she ignored that there was already a figure around him that would not leave again.

What is this......

What exactly does she want...... Is it just his concern?

Looking at Morimi and Hikaru Takikawa in the courtyard for a while, Naoko turned her head to say something, but found that the starfish was looking at her with a lost face.

“……”

She was stunned, "What's wrong?" ”

"Ah......h

The starfish came back to his senses and hurriedly covered up.

"Naoko's skin is so good......"

Naoko looked at her for a few seconds and suddenly smiled.

"Starfish have good skin, too. It is white and tender, and there is no blemish at all. ”

She moved a little closer, staring at her face.

"When Starfish used to hang out with those hot girls, I was always worried that Starfish would do the same thing as them, tanning or something...... Fortunately, not much has changed. ”

And now, her makeup has returned to when she didn't know those hot girls...... No, it should be said that it has become more mature.

She no longer decorates her head, removes eyeshadow, retains her studs, and has gradually developed her own clear style.

She's getting better and better.

Naoko stared at her for a long time, and was even a little reluctant to look away.

Girls appreciate the beauty of girls more.

"Starfish are really beautiful."

She's so beautiful that it's worrying.

"It's alright......"

Naoko stared at the starfish, and the starfish was also staring at her, envious of her maturity that was far superior to that of her peers, which she could not imitate.

And the love that only shrouds her.

The two looked at each other for a few more moments before looking away.

Naoko spoke again: "I've been busy with the affairs of the club during this time, how is the starfish there?" ”

"Huh? What do you think...... It's the same as usual. ”

"Didn't Starfish already decide to become a makeup artist?"

Only then did the starfish react, "It turns out that Naoko said this...... I've been reading the fashion magazines sent back by Chunhai's mother lately, and I'm also paying attention to the movements of some makeup artists and fashion hipsters on Instagram...... That's all there is to it now. ”

Naoko nodded, and continued:

"By the way, when I went to bed last night, Chunhai said that Starfish seemed to be thinking about saving money from a part-time job?"

“……”

Starfish opened her mouth, her attention focused on the first half of the sentence.

"...... while sleeping"

Have they slept in one bed already?

"Ahh Naoko smiled and said casually, "Harukai and I watched the movie too late last night and slept on the sofa together." ”

Starfish pursed her lower lip, not knowing if she should be happy.

It took another moment for her to pick up on what she had just said.

"I have this plan, but I haven't figured out what I'm going to do, and it's not easy to find a part-time job......

The café at the entrance of the school is now looking for part-time students. I've heard that the second-year students who used to work part-time have quit their jobs after being promoted to the third grade, and there has been a shortage of manpower lately. ”

Naoko looked at her and got a little closer, "Isn't there nothing to do after school, Starfish can just go there to work, it's close anyway." You can go home with us in the evening. ”

“……”

Although there was such a plan, the opportunity to work suddenly fell in front of him, and the starfish was not ready to pick it up for a while.

She also had a vague feeling that Naoko had been laying the groundwork for a long time just to tell her about it......

"How did Naoko know?"

Naoko smiled, "In the handicraft club, you can basically hear about things in the school and even near the school." ”

"There are a lot of you......"

"I have a friend who works in a café and has been telling her lately that there are not enough people."

She stared at her, "So, what does the starfish think?" ”

Starfish hesitated for a moment.

"I'll think about it again."

Naoko leaned forward and got closer, and was about to say something when Hikaru Takikawa returned to this side.

"Ichiba is riding more and more decently...... What are you talking about? ”

Naoko sat up straight and distanced herself again.

"I'm talking about being a makeup artist in a starfish."

"Ah, has anything changed about this?"

"Nope."

Naoko quickly threw out a new topic and continued the conversation.

Morimi practiced in the yard and stopped to rest again until almost noon.

"How about having dinner at my house at noon?"

"Okay."

"But there's nothing to entertain you, is it okay to chow mein?"

"My favorite thing is chow mein."

"Don't say this kind of thing to us, I've heard dozens of versions of similar sentences in the mouth of the light."

"Ahh......h

After lunch, there was still nothing to do, and the three of them still stayed at Morimi's house, watching her become more and more proficient through continuous practice.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Hikaru Takikawa, who had been sleeping on the side of the edge, suddenly got up.

"I'm going to pick up Harumi back, do any of you want to come with me?"

Morimi was riding on the bicycle and looked at her helplessly, "Let's go over together, and then run back after the motorcycle?" ”

"Oooh...... Slept confused. ”

Stretching, Hikaru Takikawa got up and put on his shoes and got on his motorcycle.

"Let's eat at Yiye's house at night. When Harumi and I come back, we'll bring the ingredients with us. ”

There are additions
