The next morning, shortly after arriving at the school, Naruse went downstairs with the students of Class A and boarded the bus for the off-campus observation.

The place to go for classes A and D is Apple Park in Tsumae City, which is not far away, and it is less than a 10-minute drive from Tsudaka.

As soon as he found a window seat and sat down, he turned his head, and Morimi stood next to him.

"I'm going to sit inside."

"There's a lot of space in the back."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm motion sickness, I'm going to throw up if I talk about it."

“……”

The buses haven't started yet.

Naruse gave up her seat, and she sat down inside, and he didn't change his position, just sat next to him.

After all, the two are still in the same group.

Looking at the campus outside the window, Morimi suddenly turned his head and said, "Actually, it only takes about half an hour to walk over, and you don't need to take a car at all." ”

Naruse didn't speak, how close Apple Park was, as a native and almost a native of Tsumae, of course he knew very well.

"But each group has to go to a different place, for example, they have to take a bus to get to the factory in the eastern suburbs of the city.

If you have to walk outside the school to observe when other classes can take the bus, there will definitely be students who feel unfair and make trouble. ”

"It's because of troublesome students like you that the school simply spends more money and rents a few more buses."

She looked over, "Naruse won't make trouble." ”

"At most, I slap the table when everyone is making a fuss, and I can make a strong noise."

"You don't dare to take the lead and want to make a coax, it's the most hateful."

While the two were talking, the students of Class A also got on the bus one after another.

The teacher came up last and stood in front of him and took a roll call.

"Morimi—"

"Here."

The roll call continues.

"Naruse—"

Morimi raised his hand again, "Here." ”

“……”

Yanagisawa raised his eyes to look at her, as well as Naruse next to her, who was also looking at her, and continued to name her.

After the roll call is over, the A bus departs.

Amid the hum of the engine, Morimi leaned aside.

"I'll sleep for a while."

“……”

Naruse didn't bother to talk, leaned over the aisle, took out his phone and flipped it for a while, and when he looked up again, the bus had already arrived at Apple Park.

"It's a little too fast......" Morimi muttered, urging him to get out of the car.

When the two got off the bus in the parking lot, they could also see two other buses continuing on the next county road, which were Class C and Class F to visit the Apple factory not far away.

"The last time I came here, it seems like it was when I was in elementary school." Morimi said.

"Me too."

Naruse looked left and right, and the apple trees on both sides of the parking lot were pink. It's only the end of April, and the apple trees are just blooming, and it's far from time to pick.

"Is it autumn or late summer when elementary school comes? Anyway, you can already experience apple picking...... Now this season, it's really only a good time to come and see. ”

"I guess I don't think high school students are interested in apple picking anymore." Morimi said.

"Who said I could pick it for a day."

She squinted, "Why didn't I see you come over last year when the apples were ripe?" ”

"I forgot."

The people in Class D also got off the bus and gathered, and under the leadership of the kindergarten staff, the students of the two classes walked to the park together.

The weather is fine and the view is wide, and if you walk through the park, you can clearly see Mt. Iwaki in the distance.

It's almost May, and the summit is still covered with snow.

"Compared to other classes, we are relatively relaxed, basically just walking around the park." Morimi said.

"Looks like there's still homework."

"It is nothing more than the topic of Apple Park to introduce the development of the apple industry in Tsuzen and the whole of Aomori...... Last year, I heard this from my second-graders. ”

Naruse nodded and continued to look.

Apple Park covers an extremely large area, according to the sign he saw in the parking lot, it is a hundred acres.

There are more than 2,000 apple trees planted in the park, and there are more than 80 kinds of apple trees in Aomori Prefecture, which can be found here, and this is the base for the apple culture of Tsuzen and the whole of Aomori.

"During Golden Week, there is also an apple blossom festival here." Morimi said.

The Apple Blossom Festival is held every year, just like the Cherry Blossom Festival, and the time is about the same, and Naruse also came with his family when he was a child.

"Then you can come and have a look."

"How can any high school student run here during Golden Week?"

After all, the main theme of the Apple Blossom Festival has always been "happy family outing".

"Do you have any plans?" Naruse asked casually, Golden Week is just around the corner - starting tomorrow.

"Nope. I guess I'll be alone at home and study lonely. ”

"It's pathetic. Good thing I was able to hang out. ”

“……”

Morimi glared at him.

The two followed the group inside for a while, and then arrived at the Apple House in Apple Park.

There is a shop and snack corner that offers a variety of apple-related souvenirs and delicacies, but high school students came to observe and learn today, at least not just yet.

In the other corner, there are models of various varieties of apples in the window, and on the other side is an introduction to the history of apple cultivation in Tsuzen for more than 100 years.

In addition, there is a docent arranged by the park.

“…… Aomori has always been the largest in Japan in terms of acreage and yield...... Aomori produces more than 50% of Japan's total apple production every year, and the quality is just as high. Overseas, Aomori apples are known as the world's most delicious apple ......"

In order to pass the time, Morimi listened attentively, as if he had never been here before.

Looking aside, Naruse was holding a mobile phone and slammed at the history of the development of the Apple industry in Tsuzen on the wall.

"With a little polishing, it's almost ready to be handed in."

“……”

She wanted to say something, but she didn't bother to spend too much time on this kind of homework, so she said:

"Send me a copy after the shooting."

"Didn't you bring your phone?"

"I didn't bring it."

The two of them followed the class team and stayed in the study corner for more than half an hour, and finally it was time to move freely.

The field trip is only one morning, and you have to go back to school at noon, and the meeting time is an hour later.

Naruse and Morimi wandered around the Apple House store and bought a bottle of apple juice each.

"It is said that there are more than 1,200 kinds of apple products...... It's a bit too exaggerated. ”

"Because only Apple is famous in Tsumae, so I'm trying to develop new products."

"And Tsumae Castle."

"Can Tsumae Castle be sold?"

After a few moments inside, the two came outside, and Morimi stood in front of the statue of the Apple Girl in the square.

"Take a picture for me."

Click!

"Send it to me."

Buzz –

She pulled out her phone and flipped through it.

"Not bad."

"Didn't you bring your phone?"

She looked at her phone, and when she didn't hear it, she asked again, "If Naoko was here, how would you shoot it?" ”

"How good to look and how to shoot." Naruse said.

"Then I'll take another picture like this."

"The phone is dead."

"Where's the liar...... Where are you going? ”

He turned away from the Apple House.

"Just hang out. Alone. ”

He quickly walked away, and she didn't follow.

Came to a soft grass and sat down, and there was more news in the group.

Kazuha: [Picture]

“……”

It's the picture he just took.

One leaf: Apple girl.
