In the midst of the busyness, the time is unconsciously in the evening.

The sky is dyed with brilliant glow, and the earth and the buildings that stand on it are also clothed in the same color.

Glancing at the time, Naoko raised her head and glanced around the department room again, looking at the busy members.

"Everyone—"

She stood up and raised her voice, keeping the attention of the members focused on herself, "That's all for today." ”

A relaxing voice suddenly sounded in the department.

"Everyone's worked hard." Naoko continued, "The summer vacation is coming to an end, so let's start preparing for the cultural festival today. ”

"Huh?"

"Is this the end?"

"Then ...... tomorrow"

Catching the eye of the nearest first-year member, Naoko nodded to her and continued, "In the last few days of the summer vacation, let's rest at home." We were on fast pace and in time. ”

"Yay!"

"Long live the Minister—"

Naoko looked at the members of the department who showed various reactions with a smile, and someone else said: "But it's okay for me to stay at home, can I come to the ministry in the next few days?" ”

"Of course, everyone is free to do so."

"Okay."

"Does the minister have any plans?" A member of the department asked.

"My word ......"

Naoko thought for a moment, "I think I'll have a good rest at home for a few days, and then go and watch the fireworks festival or something." ”

"Eh, fireworks festival ......"

The fireworks festival has become a new topic for the members of the department when they pack up their things, and there are fewer and fewer people in the department amid the discussion and goodbye.

When the last member of the department also left, Naoko looked at the news she had just received and followed downstairs.

As soon as she changed her shoes and went out, she was stunned for a moment.

"The eldest lady is out—"

Hikaru Takikawa shouted loudly, "The convoy turns, send the eldest lady home!" ”

The two motorcycles, one large and one small, as well as the two Yuan Fu in the back with only different colors, slowly turned their heads in front of the teaching building.

Hikaru Takikawa rode Naruse's car, at the front.

"Miss, please get in the car—"

"Don't do that!"

Seeing that a few members of the department who had not gone far also stopped to look at this side, Shangzi suddenly felt embarrassed, and wanted to cover his face.

trotted over and sat behind Naruse, her face was still a little hot, "How can Haruhi follow the light and coax......"

Naruse smiled, also a little helpless, "I didn't say anything." ”

Naoko puffed out her mouth and looked back at Morimi and Starfish who were riding a new car.

"Is this the new car for Kazuha and Starfish?"

"yes." Morimi unscrewed the throttle slightly, rode next to her and stopped, "How's it going?" ”

"So cute......"

Naoko looked at the small motorcycle under her seat, "It's a little smaller than I thought, and it's perfect for girls." ”

"The Honda Giorno 50, her and the Starfish, are all new colors that were launched last year." Naruse said.

Naoko looked at the car that Starfish was riding again, Morimi's car was sky blue, and her car was pink, which was even more cute.

Seeing a little heartfelt expression on her face, Naruse said, "If Naoko likes it, I'll buy one too." Although he said that he was not allowed to bring people, no one cared about him in the countryside. ”

"No. How many motorcycles does Harumi have to buy? ”

"It's very convenient to buy groceries." Hikaru Takikawa said, "It's much smaller than a super cub." ”

"Don't." Worried that he really had this intention, Naoko hurriedly shook his head.

"How does it feel to ride?" She asked again.

"It's easy." Morimi said, "Even I can drive it casually, which is much less labor-saving than a bicycle." ”

The starfish, who started to get into cycling earlier, although he was worried about the written test of the driving test, still had no problems when riding.

"Why don't we ride to see the fireworks display?"

"How dare you think about it. The speed limit is thirty yards, and you are not allowed to get on the highway, how long do you want to ride. ”

"Sure enough, it's still too far."

Takikawa Hikaru mentioned it like this, and he didn't take it seriously.

"Chunhai said that the club activities of the handicraft club have ended today?"

Naoko nodded, "Well, it's almost ready." ”

"Then in order to celebrate Naoko's holiday, there is also a new car bought by Kazuha and Starfish, let's have a meal outside today!"

"You're going to see stitches." Naruse glanced at her, but didn't object, "Where to eat?" ”

"Come with me."

Takikawa Hikari twisted the throttle and rode in front, and the remaining three quickly followed.

Sitting behind Naruse, Naoko looked ahead, then looked back at Morimi and Starfish who were following behind.

The two of them looked over as well, and she smiled, genuinely happy for them.

She was even happier for herself—the seat in his car would belong to her only in the future.

Hikaru Takikawa led the way, turned around for a while, and slowed down in front of an izakaya to pull aside.

As soon as she turned around, Naruse, who stopped behind her, said, "I've been here." ”

"Huh-"

"Just the other day."

Naoko poked her head out behind him, "Yes." ”

"Eat again, you won't suffer!"

"Eat." Naruse has no opinion, where is not to eat, and he is too lazy to find a place.

A few people rode forward again, looking for a place to park.

Looking at the four motorcycles parked together, the starfish who remained at the back stopped to take a picture.

"Starfish?" Morimi stopped before walking into the izakaya and looked at her.

"It's coming!"

Naruse and Hikaru Takigawa ordered, and the three of them went to find a private room first.

"Harukai and Naoko came here last time, have you tasted the food here, isn't it a little better than other places?"

"Well, I remember the chicken nuggets here were crispy."

After ordering, the two also came to the private room.

Starfish asked for their driver's licenses and posed them for a picture with the ones they had just gotten.

"If you want to send it somewhere, remember to code the personal information." Naruse reminded that not only their photos but also their home addresses were on their driver's licenses.

"I know."

"Are you really going to send it?"

"Oh, no...... Just take a picture to keep a souvenir. ”

Looking at the photos taken, Starfish quickly returned their driver's license to them.

Seeing a few people put away their driver's licenses, Shangzi suddenly felt a sense of being alone.

"Let me see." She asks her boyfriend for her driver's license.

Naruse gave her her driver's license.

Looking at Naoko, Hikaru Takikawa handed over his driver's license as well, "The photo I took here was taken two years ago." ”

"yes, it looked very tender back then."

"People are very tender now......"

After the drinks and food were delivered, the two put away their driver's licenses.

"Cheers—"

"Cheers."

Wine glasses collided, light and shadow swayed, and it shook until more than eight o'clock in the evening.

"Let's go back."

"Hmm......"

"Why, haven't you eaten yet?"

"Not really." Hikaru Takikawa leaned on Naoko, "I want to take a little more detour and go back, now everyone has a car." ”

"The black light is blind, you can't see anything, there's something to go around."

"And tomorrow during the day?"

Naruse glanced at her more, "This is what you really planned." ”

"Hey, hey."

"Where do you want to go?"

"I didn't think about it, as long as everyone could go together." Hikaru Takikawa said as he looked at the few people in the private room.

"Then you think slowly, let's go home first."

"Okay, then you can say whatever you want to go."

After settling the bill and leaving the izakaya, it was dark outside, and the heat of the day had quietly melted into the night.

"It's cool to ride at night." When Hikaru Takikawa got into the car, he said this to Starfish and Morimi.

"It's just too dark." Starfish looked at the sky, the city is fine, there are street lights everywhere, and it is difficult to say in the countryside.

Morimi agrees, although she likes to stay in the dark, it has to be a familiar corner, not running outside in the middle of the night.

Several people got on the car and set off one after another, and Naruse rode to the front with Naoko.

In order to take care of the speed of the two people who rode Hara, he didn't ride too fast.

Holding his waist, Naoko turned her head to look at the three cars following behind her, and suddenly had a feeling of being surrounded.

“……”

Shaking her head to clear her mind, she turned around and hugged her boyfriend tightly.
