Listening to the sound of the dripping rain, Hikaru Takikawa woke up.

The familiarity and strangeness in front of her made her confused. The bottom line is that it doesn't feel like a place to sleep.

After a while, she finally remembered that this was the living room of the Morimi family, and that she had offered to sleep here last night.

Last night...... Bonfire...... Everyone sleeps together......

Before falling asleep......

With that torture over and over again in mind, Hikaru Takikawa turned his head to look at the futon next to him.

The bedding is empty.

“……”

She sat up jerkily and turned her head to look to the other side.

All three were lying in the bed, and the missing leaf was neither lying in his bed nor riding on him.

Hikaru Takikawa was stunned for a while.

Did she just get up first......

Looking outside, although the sky was overcast, it was already bright, and the time should be about ten o'clock in the morning.

It was raining, and the traces of the campfire in the yard were almost gone.

She watched the fire over there burn out last night, and at that time, the leaf next to her hadn't slept yet.

Hikaru Takikawa looked at the empty bed, and then turned back to find Naoko looking at him.

"The light is awake too."

"Naoko...... Good morning. ”

Hikaru Takikawa glanced at the time, and sure enough, it was already past ten o'clock.

Although I didn't go to bed until after two o'clock, I slept for so long, and it was time to wake up.

Looking at the starfish between the two of them, sure enough, their eyes were also open and they looked very sober.

"You're all awake."

"Hmmm......"

Naoko answered, turning her head to look at her boyfriend who was sleeping next to her.

Only he was still asleep, and he seemed to be sleeping deeply.

They must have fallen asleep together last night......

"Chunhai hasn't woken up yet?"

"yes."

"It's ten o'clock in the morning."

Naoko sat up and gently held her boyfriend's hand outside the quilt, and suddenly he was also clenched.

"Spring Sea ......"

Looking at the ceiling, he blinked and quickly came to his senses.

"What time is it?"

"It's past ten o'clock."

He closed his eyes again and wiped his other hand on his face, "I've been asleep for so long." ”

"I slept for a long time, too...... Maybe it's raining. ”

He sat up and looked at the rain outside, not the slightest surprise on his face.

"The rain is a lot lighter."

"Eh......"

"I woke up once in the morning, when it was raining heavily."

Hikaru Takikawa suddenly wailed.

"My car is still outside!"

Naruse was stunned, a little helpless, "My car is too." ”

There's nothing wrong with getting a little rain on the motorcycle, but neither of them likes the feeling of getting wet.

Since they woke up, the four of them did not continue to lie down, got up to pack the futon, and sent them back to a room on the first floor.

"Why haven't you seen a leaf for half a day?"

"I don't know." Naruse's face was calm, "I can't go back to my room to study." ”

"Isn't it, so serious?"

Hikaru Takikawa said, but his eyes couldn't stop looking at his face, as if he wanted to see something.

"I'll go upstairs and have a look."

After a while, she came down lightly and said to the three of them, "Kazuha is sleeping. ”

She muttered again, "What time do you go to bed......

At about 5:30 in the morning, Naruse replied in his heart.

"Did you go up because you harassed me so much that I couldn't sleep?"

“…… Probably not. ”

Hikaru Takikawa isn't so sure.

Speaking of harassment, she felt like she had been harassed by her startled behavior last night.

Goo –

"Hungry ......"

"Do you want to go home?"

"It's still raining."

"Then get something to eat at her house and go back."

When I came to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, there were a lot of ingredients.

"I'll prepare." Naoko made breakfast for a few people, or an early lunch.

The starfish was about to go upstairs to see Morimi, and just a few steps upstairs, he found that Naruse had also followed, and his expression suddenly became very subtle.

He didn't pay much attention to it, after all, when she was alone with him, she was always not very calm.

Upstairs, he let her go into the room.

Morimi was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.

She hadn't slept all night, and she had dragged him until half past five in the morning before he lay down, and it had only been five hours now.

Naruse knew this, so he didn't feel surprised that she wasn't awake from a deep sleep, while Starfish didn't know what she was thinking, stared at her for a long time, and lifted the quilt to take a look.

"What are you doing?"

"No, nothing ......"

Starfish put down the quilt and looked back at him for a few seconds, then stopped.

Naruse frowned.

When he walked out of the room, he asked, "What did the starfish want to say just now?" ”

She was silent for a long time before she raised her eyes to look at him: "Did you do it?" ”

"Do what?" Naruse asked casually.

Starfish pursed her lips and said nothing.

He also reacted quickly, surprised and dazed.

"What nonsense are you talking about."

"I saw ......"

"What?"

"In the morning...... You hugged each other and went upstairs. ”

“……”

There was a bang in Naruse's mind.

"I woke up at that time and wanted to go to the bathroom...... And then I saw it. ”

He took a deep breath.

At that time in the morning, his attention was all on the half-dead Morimi, and he didn't notice that the starfish had woken up too.

He calmed down and began to explain.

"She didn't sleep all night, she was in a very bad physical condition, so I just sent her up to sleep. It came down quickly, didn't it? ”

"No, you've been on it for more than half an hour."

Naruse was silent.

"Hmm...... We also chatted for a while. ”

Starfish looked at him and didn't speak, and pursed her lips.

"That's it." Naruse was a little weak.

She was silent for another half a minute, and asked, "Did Kazuha tell you something?" ”

"She told me a lot, and I don't know what starfish was referring to."

"It's ......"

Starfish hesitated for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Kazuha had reminded herself not to rush forward, and everything was up to her to decide.

"What's it?" Naruse asked.

"That's it...... Her and my business. ”

He frowned, "What's wrong with you guys?" ”

"We have a pact...... Did Kazuha tell you? ”

"What agreement?"

"If not, forget it."

Starfish didn't dare to say more, for fear that he would perceive something from the details.

It's just that her attitude has already made Naruse a little suspicious.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Is your agreement related to me?" ”

"Huh...... No. ”

Naruse stepped closer, "I'll talk about it when I'm ready." ”

“……”

Starfish took a step back and leaned against the door of the room, looking at his chest close at hand, his heartbeat suddenly quickened.

She began to regret why she had asked so much.

And she soon got the answer: because Kazuha seems to be acting secretly......

"Are you sure you don't have anything to do with me?" Naruse asked again.

Want to speak out?

Starfish hesitated, he would know about it sooner or later...... Maybe it's time to test his attitude?

"It's kind of related...... Not! ”

A slender arm suddenly appeared, and then covered her mouth.

A voice sounded behind her: "Bullying my sister at the door of my room early in the morning?" ”

The starfish turned around, and Morimi looked at her with heavy dark circles under her eyes, and her gaze was not good.

“……”

She craned her neck.

Naruse was much calmer than her, "You're awake." ”

"You two are chatting at the door of my room, aren't you deliberately trying to wake me up?"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to." Naruse said, and asked again, "Are you feeling better?" ”

"My heart seems to be beating a little fast, you can touch it and see."

"It looks like I can't die."

Naruse turned around and went downstairs, "Naoko is preparing something to eat, come down when you're hungry." ”

Morimi just snorted.

The starfish also wanted to follow him down, but was held tightly.

"You come in with me."
