After staying here for a while in Class C of the second year, chatting with Naoko and Starfish, Naruse continued to move forward and saw Morimi staying with Hikaru Takikawa in the greenhouse of Class E.

She was waiting for him.

"Won't you talk a little longer?"

"We'll talk when we get home."

The two continued to patrol forward, and Hikaru Takikawa also wanted to follow, but there was still something to do on Class E's side, so they had to give up.

"Do you have anything else to do after your inspection, take me with you."

"No, if there's no problem with a look, I'll go up."

"Okay."

If the lantern making in the second grade is reassuring, the third grade can be said to be amazing.

"I'm scared, kid."

Looking up at the gorgeous and huge lanterns in front of him, Naruse was indeed shocked by the delicate details on the surface of the lamp, down to the strands of his hair.

"It scared me, and I felt like I was suddenly jumping from a prehistoric civilization to a modern society...... How is this drawn? ”

Rina Ogawa laughed, "Hmph, this is the strength of the third grade!" ”

"It was drawn by Ogawa-senpai?"

"Guess."

Naruse guessed no, turned his head to look in the shed of their class, and quickly noticed the former art minister he had seen in the underground garage before.

"Did that senior sister draw it?"

"Huh? It turns out that Naruse knows her, it's not interesting. ”

"It's the previous Minister of Fine Arts, I've seen ...... before."

And the other party also noticed him and walked over this way.

"Basketball kid."

"Senpai."

Her gaze fell on Morimi next to him, "I changed my girlfriend this time." It's beautiful, but the style is completely different from the light. ”

“……”

Morimi glanced at her, smiled and nodded.

Rina Ogawa frowned.

"It's not." Naruse denied it loudly, he didn't even know the other party's name, and he didn't bother to explain, "The light surface painted by the senior sister is so detailed that it is shocking." ”

"Young people just talk, much better than you old things who only know how to make progress." She said to Rina Ogawa.

"He's now the executive chairman of the Tsugaraka Festival."

"yes, that's amazing. Can you send me a lantern design gold medal or something? ”

Naruse smiled, "This year is in a hurry, it's too late to plan, there will be such plans in the future." ”

"Yes, yes, I'm looking forward to it."

"What are you expecting, this is the last time you'll be attending the Tsugarka Festival." Rina Ogawa said coldly.

"Ahh

Circling around the lantern, he was shocked again, and Naruse didn't stay here for too long, and went to the next shift with Morimi.

The lanterns made by the third-graders are generally exquisite, especially the Amaterasu Okami lanterns in Rina Ogawa's class, which can be called works of art.

"In last year's third grade, did you make lanterns at this level?" On the way back to the activity room, Naruse asked.

Morimi responded, "Hmm." ”

He took a breath, "I don't see how much we're going to be able to metamorphose next year. ”

She smiled, thoughtfully.

"A year is a long time...... It's been almost a year since you've been back too, don't you feel it? ”

"Yes......"

Naruse's eyes were a little straight, he came back in mid to late August last year, and now it's more than half of July.

"It's been almost a year."

One year is enough time to accommodate the general changes of a makeover.

He went from being timid and running away from the future to trying to take on some responsibilities that he didn't dare to take before. Looking back, the kind of turbulent waves he had expected were not non-existent, or even more dangerous, but he still broke through the waves and continued to move forward.

Don't be afraid of change.

The same thing has been said many times by Matsu Chiaki.

Whether it was the death of Mamoru Naruse, or moving to the starfish's house, or when she left Tsuzen and went to Tokyo, she told him this sentence.

It wasn't a difficult thing to understand, but when he actually understood, he was seventeen years old.

Naruse took a slow breath and repeated it again.

"It's been almost a year."

"We're not the same as we were a year ago." Morimi looked at him and said.

Naruse pursed her lower lip and didn't answer.

She didn't say much, as long as she could see his touch.

She wouldn't let him bother too much about anything else until this important event was over.

"The future will get better."

Go back to the activity room and continue to deal with the small issues that are not too important but cannot be ignored, and it is busy for another hour or two.

By the time it was over, it was almost six o'clock, and the other members in the activity room had basically gone back.

"Let's go."

"Hmm."

There was no work to take back to deal with, and the two of them were empty-handed, and the schoolbags they were carrying were also empty.

"I'll send the starfish back, and then I'll pick up a leaf." Hikaru Takikawa rode a motorcycle and said to Morimi.

"No, isn't there a bus, I'll just take the bus back."

"We'll have to wait for more than twenty minutes."

"It's going to take you half a day to come and go, maybe I'll get in the car. It's okay, you guys go back first. ”

"Okay."

Naruse carried Naoko, just watched from the sidelines, and said goodbye at this time.

"Be careful on the road."

Morimi waved his hand and watched as the two motorcycles set off one after the other, also walking in the direction they left.

All the way to the bus stop, she sat down and looked at the sky.

Twilight was shrouded, and the clouds in the sky stained the gold edge, and it was still early before dark.

She froze for a moment.

Touching the empty school bag, she suddenly remembered the thoughts she had when she raised her hand and decided to become an executive committee member more than a week ago:

Think of it as a break......

It's only been two weeks, and the final exams are over.

Rest is for a better departure.

She further convinced herself, and during this time, she devoted herself almost entirely to the work of the Executive Committee—not only the work of the accountant, but also some of the chores that he cheekily stuffed over.

She rested well in the rhythm of continuing to study in the morning and immersed in the busy work in the afternoon.

And how many days like this can last......

Tomorrow will be the last day.

"'If only these days could go on forever'......"

Mori looked at the sky for a while, took off his glasses, and pinched the bridge of his nose.

After a while, the bus came.

Get in the car and go home.

By the time we got to Aoyagi, it wasn't dark yet.

She didn't go straight home, but had dinner at the bookstore, and when she came out again, the twilight was already deep.

The darkness was not completely darkened, and the heavens and the earth were shrouded in a hazy blue, and the clouds turned gray.

Returning home on her bicycle, she had just parked the car when she suddenly smelled a fragrance.

Following the fragrance to find the past, the fragrance of the flowers gradually became stronger, and it was a few moonside incense plants that had been planted for several years in the yard that opened.

It hasn't rained for the past few days, the temperature has risen, and the flowering period seems to be a little earlier.

The fragrance of this flower gradually becomes strong after sunset, so it is also called tuberose, and she can smell the rich fragrance when she gets a little closer.

Looking down and sniffing, she closed her eyes and touched the flowers in the dark.

When I opened my eyes again, the hazy moonlight shone into the courtyard and fell on the flowers, and also on the fingertips that had lost their color.

"仆の言叶が足りないのなら

(If my words can't express my heart)

胸をナイフでcrack いて、えぐり出してもいい

(Please stab me in the chest with a knife and dig it out)

(Kan Zhi Ge Nan "月とナイフ")"

Sniffing the flowers, she stood up, hummed in a low voice, and returned to the room where it was her.

Buzz –

Naruse glanced at the news.

Kazuba: My flowers are blooming.

There are additions
