After buying the ingredients and taking them home with the prepared gifts, Naruse and Naoko took out two more copies from them and delivered the gifts to Takigawa's house before it was too late.

It was Mrs. Takikawa who opened the door, and Takikawa Yue, who was at home on vacation, also came down quickly.

"Long time no see, Harumi, Naoko."

"Long time no see, Sister Yue."

As soon as Takikawa Yue sat down, she saw the souvenirs sent by the two, and flipped them twice, her face was more surprised than surprised.

"How much did you buy?"

"Anyway, I bought what I liked when I saw it at the souvenir shop."

"It's a lot of money, young man......"

Naruse nodded, and then said, "My mother's gift to Sister Yue is also inside." ”

Takikawa Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, and his plan to preach was immediately put aside.

"Which ones?"

Naoko pointed and nodded, "These are a few things." ”

"Ah, it's all my favorites!"

Naruse looked at his girlfriend, "This is the so-called power of idols and stars, these things, Sister Yue just glanced at them casually." ”

Naoko just laughed.

"Stinky Boy ......"

Takikawa glared at him, then smiled as well, a little embarrassed.

"Isn't it almost time for Miss Song to come back?"

"It's only been a few days, after all, Obon is coming soon." Naruse said, pausing, "Hikari should be able to come back before Obon, right?" ”

"Probably."

Even if it's my own sister, I don't look very sure about my sister's itinerary, "She has been admiring the flower fields everywhere in Furano these days." ”

Naoko nodded, "I saw the photo of Hanada that Hikari posted in the group." Such a large field of lavender flowers is really beautiful. ”

"Right? Colorful, like a rainbow, she picked a lot of lavender to make dried flowers, ready to bring back to us as gifts. ”

"After Furano, there shouldn't be any special detours on the Hokkaido side." Naruse said, "Lake Toya and Lake Shikotsu have also been there before. ”

"Yes, but she'll stay at Otaru for an extra day......"

Naruse and Naoko stayed at Takigawa's house for more than half an hour, chatted about the same, and then politely refused Mrs. Takigawa's stay and went back together.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten at home."

"yes."

However, it was still early and far from dinner, and when he got home, Naruse was ready to ride out for a ride.

And when he opened the garage and saw the super cub parked inside, he remembered that his car had been exchanged for Hikaru Takikawa.

Subsequently, he also remembered his decision some time ago.

"The motorcycle shop shouldn't be closed at this time, so let's go and have a look." He rode out of the garage and said to his girlfriend who was waiting outside.

"Huh...... Going to buy a new car? ”

Naoko quickly understood his intentions.

"Well, let's go to the store first and decide which one to buy."

Naruse patted the front of the car, "Or just buy the Super Cub, anyway, there is a new model with an improved version this year." ”

"Then let's go check it out."

Riding a motorcycle, Naruse took Naoko directly to the Honda motorcycle shop in Tsumae, and toured the various displacements of motorcycles displayed in the lobby on the first floor.

"Well, this one...... It's similar to the one in Haruhi, right? ”

"Much, baby. At least the 650cc displacement is not what I can ride with my license. ”

"But it looks like it's about the same size as Harumi's ZX-4RR?"

"It's not like that......"

After accepting that he wanted to buy a new car, Naoko also became serious about choosing his means of transportation for at least the next year or so, instead of just ignoring it and letting him decide as before.

As a result, after shopping around, there are only three models that can satisfy both of them in terms of price, appearance and comfort.

And two of them, no matter what color they are, have to wait seven or eight months to get the car.

The fastest to get the car is the Super Cub that will be launched this year, one of the colors is now ordered, and the new car can be mentioned in about half a month, while the other color that Naruse prefers will have to wait ten more days.

"If it's only ten days, you can still wait, right?" Naoko said.

Naruse nodded, "Then this pearl nebula red." ”

"Harumi really likes red."

"This old model is still bright and beautiful."

Following the staff in the shop to place an order, and then dealing with things such as choosing accessories and paying a deposit, when the two left the motorcycle shop, the twilight outside was already a little dark.

Back at home, Naoko went straight into the kitchen, and Naruse also went in to help, preparing dinner together for the first time in a long time.

"Let's clean the kitchen utensils before using them."

"I know."

It didn't take long for the dinner for two to be ready.

Naoko brought the dishes and chopsticks to the table, and Naruse went to pour two glasses of water and sat down opposite each other.

"Yesterday this time, we were still on our way back to the hotel."

"It's already dinner, isn't it?"

"No, because Chunhai took the tram in the opposite direction at Kinko Station, we got off at Yasu Station and continued to wait, and we were more than 20 minutes late before returning to the hotel."

"Hmm......"

Sitting on opposite sides of the table, the two chatted as usual, eating dinner with only them, and life seemed to be back to the state before they went on a trip, although more than ten hours ago, they were still lying in a hotel on the shore of Lake Biwa.

"We're almost halfway through the summer vacation."

"Well, at least at this time, it can be said that this summer vacation between me and Naoko has been very fulfilling."

Naoko smiled slightly.

After dinner, she put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and walked around, and soon returned to the table and sat down.

Naruse looked at her, and her face was calm, as if nothing had happened.

"Naoko isn't going to go for a walk after dinner?"

The disguised calm was immediately broken, her face flushed slightly, and she puffed out her mouth again, "get used to ......"

"It's not like you can't go for a walk when you come back."

Naoko glanced at the table, "The dishes haven't been washed yet." ”

"Maybe when I come back, the dishes and chopsticks have been washed and the kitchen has been cleaned up."

"Then I'm really scared......"

Naruse smiled, stood up, and stretched out his hand to his girlfriend, "Let's go, just go around." ”

"Good~"

The two of them left the unpacked dining table, bathed in the moonlight, walked around the neighborhood, and then walked to the convenience store.

"Hmm......"

"Don't give me face, just say it."

Naoko smiled, glanced at her boyfriend, and said:

"There's really nothing to do in the countryside after dark...... I remember why I didn't have the habit of taking a walk after a meal before. ”

Naruse sighed and looked down at the turned arm.

"There are more mosquitoes."

Naoko scratched him twice.

The two stayed in the convenience store for a while, rubbing against the air conditioner while avoiding the mosquitoes outside, and after a long time, they only took two large bottles of green tea and milk to drink at night.

"Let's go back and wash the dishes."

"Hmmm......"

And while still checking out, the starfish came in from outside.

"Huh...... Good evening. ”

"Good evening." Naoko also said hello, and looked at her boyfriend beside her quietly.

Naruse looked at the starfish with a calm gaze, "It's just been a short time since dinner, what are you doing at the convenience store?" ”

“……”

She pouted, "Why don't you come here too?" ”

"We're here to buy drinks."

"I ...... Also. ”

She turned and walked into the shelves, stood in front of the freezer for a moment, and finally grabbed a bottle of juice.

By the time she got to the counter to check out, the two had already left, and she found that she had gone out without a purse at all.

She wasn't here to buy a drink.

After dinner, there was nothing to do, and thinking that he had returned, she walked over to this side.

It's just that it's not just him who came back, but also Shangzi, she turned around the intersection for a long time, and was bitten by a mosquito in the leg, but she still didn't dare to go in after all.

"Uh......"

Looking at the clerk aunt inside, the starfish's face was a little hot, "I forgot to bring money...... I'll go back and get it. ”

With another turn, the doors of the convenience store opened in both directions, and Naruse walked in from the outside again.

He looked twice, "Didn't bring any money?" ”

“…… Well. ”

He looked at the clerk again, "Is there a mosquito repellent spray here, the kind that can be used in the room?" ”

The upstairs window forgot to close.

"Yes." The clerk pointed to one of the rows of shelves, "Over there." ”

Naruse walked over and quickly found what he was looking for.

"Paid together." He ordered the juice next to him.

"Okay."

Drops –

Paying for it, grabbing the mosquito repellent spray and handing the juice to the starfish, Naruse stared at her face for two more seconds, then looked away as she lifted her eyes.

"Don't run around, go home early."

Four golds and one bronze,
