Chapter 360: Starfish Diary

X, X, X, X, X, X,

Today I went to the park by the river, and everyone played catch-and-catch together.

Obviously, everyone likes to play catch, but no one likes to play baseball, which is weird.

Just say that he is more interested in football.

Harumi hit me when he threw the ball.

Apologized, but certainly on purpose.

That's bad!

……

X, X, X, X, X,

Today I read a manga at a house in the first leaf.

She has a lot of comics in her house.

There are also many books.

Kazuha prefers to read, although there are many words that he doesn't recognize.

I think it's easier to read comics.

Harumi went out with Hikari.

……

X, X, X, X, X, X,

Today I went to Apple Park!

I experienced apple blossom picking.

The aunt in the park said that if you don't pick some of the flowers, the apples that grow will not taste good.

Because I was an elementary school student, I was not allowed to use a ladder, and only picked some flowers at the bottom.

My head hit a branch, it hurt!

Chunhai also bumped into it, and he shed tears, which is really embarrassing.

Naoko has been following Harumi and picking all the flowers, leaving none of them, and was told by the park's aunt.

What a happy day!

……

X, X, X, X, X, X,

There was a fight.

……

X, X, X, X, X,

Harumi hangs out with Hikari.

I don't know where I went, and Naoko doesn't know either.

Naoko waited all afternoon and went home by herself.

……

X, X, X, X, X, X,

Quarreled again.

My lip was bitten, and it hurt.

Biting his shoulder.

……

X, X, X, X, X,

Naoko's mother bought her a mobile phone.

I want a cell phone too.

My dad said he'd buy it for me when I got to middle school.

Chunhai didn't talk to me all day today, inexplicably.

……

X, X, X, X, X, X,

There was a fight.

Scratched his face.

……

X, X, X, in the evening, it was late.

When I went downstairs to go to the bathroom, I heard Harumi's mother saying sorry to my father.

Dad also said sorry.

Why?

Harumi told me not to bother him.

After he fell asleep, went to his bed and lay down for a while.

I almost fell asleep.

……

X, X, X, X, X,

Chunhai was in a daze again today, and was named by the teacher during class.

The teacher said that Haruhi is the first in the grade if he is serious, and he is very smart.

I think so too.

Naoko thinks so too.

Kazuha thinks so too.

Light does not believe.

……

X, X, X, X, X,

On the way home, Harumi got off halfway.

He must have gone to the river.

Naoko was talking to Kazuha and didn't notice that he got out of the car, and when she found out, she cried.

I really love to cry, and it's not that I won't come back.

……

X, X, X, X, X, X,

There was a fight.

After going back to the room.

……

X, X, X, X, X,

Dad asked me today if I really couldn't get along with Harumi.

I don't know what to say.

I don't know.

Obviously, he hated me first.

I didn't say anything, my dad seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say anything.

Why don't you ask Harumi?

……

X, X, X, X, X, X,

Got into a fight with Haruhi in the school's sports warehouse.

He said that the person he liked and hated the most was me.

Me too.

……

X, X, X, X, X, X,

Dad said he was divorced from Haruhe's mother.

It's definitely a lie.

……

X, X, X, X, X, X,

It's true.

……

X, X, X, X, X,

Harumi and his mom will be moving back to their old house in a few days.

Dad went over today to help clean up.

I also went over to help.

I saw Harukai hiding in the study and cried.

Definitely remembered his dad.

I remembered that my mother wanted to cry too.

……

X, X, X, X, X,

Harumi and his mom moved some of their things back today.

Are they really moving out?

We won't be family anymore.

It's uncomfortable.

……

X, X, X, X, X,

At dinner in the evening, both Dad and Harumi's Mom were drinking.

Harumi's mom keeps saying thank you to her dad.

Dad said sorry several times.

……

X, X, X, X, X, X,

Harumi moved out.

He said......

I've known this for a long time.

……

When the diary reached this page, the paper was crumpled and the handwriting was blurred, as if it had been soaked in water.

And that's the end of the record, there's nothing more to come.

“……”

Closing the diary, Naruse took a deep breath, still feeling a lot of congestion in his chest.

The past is vivid, and everything in the diary seems to have happened yesterday.

The pages wrinkled by tears had lost their toughness, but some of them were cut, like a sharp knife, ripping out the memories he had deliberately buried deeply.

Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, he seemed to be stunned, and the starfish squatting in front of the cardboard box on the other side asked, "Did you find your things?" ”

"Hmm...... No. ”

Stuffing the diary back into the cardboard box, Naruse picked up another item, glanced at it, and handed it to the starfish.

"This ...... It's your stuff, right? ”

He turned his head and noticed that he had just handed out a mask of Kamen Superman.

It can only be his stuff.

He also remembered that it was the first year he moved into the starfish's house, and when the family went to Tsumae Park to participate in the cherry blossom festival, Seiichiro Maki bought it for him.

"It's mine."

The starfish wiped the dust on the mask with his hand, and compared it to his face again, "Kamen Superman~"

“……”

“……”

She quickly put down her mask, blushing a little.

She thought he would laugh at herself, but she saw him looking to the side with a frown.

“…… Do you still want it? ”

Naruse took a deep breath, "Yes, Starfish help me wash it, it's too dirty." ”

"Okay."

Starfish got up and went downstairs with his mask.

Boom!

“……”

Up the stairs, she stopped blankly and looked back at the room where the sound was coming from.

What was that...... He's angry?

After standing there for a moment, she slowly descended downstairs and took the mask to rinse it.

The water soon cleared, and the plastic mask was washed as good as new, except that the rope behind it felt like it was about to rot.

She simply pulled the rope off.

After brushing the water stains off his mask and wiping it again, Starfish returned upstairs to find that his school bag, which had been leaning outside, had been taken inside.

She didn't think much of it and handed him the mask.

Holding it in his hand and looking at it for a while, Naruse buckled the mask to his face.

"Kamen Superman."

“……”

Should she laugh?

Looking at the mask on his face, Starfish suddenly noticed that his hand holding the mask was a little red and swollen, especially the joints.

Naruse quickly put down her mask again, regardless of her reaction.

"I'll get you a box to put in it......"

"No, I'll just take back as many things as I can."

"Okay."

The two of them cleaned up in the room for an hour or two before they cleaned up all the clutter, and Naruse still asked for a cardboard box to hold his things.

It's basically toys and the like, and of course he doesn't take it back for fun, but purely as a souvenir.

Carrying his schoolbag, he picked up the cardboard box, "I still have to pick up Naoko, go back first." ”

"Hmm...... Be careful on the road. ”

Going downstairs and chatting with Seiichiro Maki, Naruse hugged the cardboard box and returned home alone.

Putting the cardboard box in the study, he went upstairs, and with the old diary he had taken out of his bag, he was stunned for a while.

What do you do with it......

Buzz –

Naoko: It's over, Harumi can come and pick me up.
