At the beginning of the summer vacation, Naruse was busy preparing for a trip to Chubu, and after he returned, it was the Obon Festival in a few days, and then he began to prepare for the flea market at the cultural festival next semester, and it was not until the last few days of the summer vacation that he regained his leisure from doing nothing.

The same goes for Naoko, the matter on the handicraft club side has come to an end for the time being, and she is also idle.

When they woke up in the morning, they lay on the bed for a long time without moving, and neither of them wanted to get up.

"Let's stay in bed for the day today."

"Okay."

Naruse turned his head to look, and Naoko smiled at him and rolled over to his shoulder.

"Didn't you just say last night that you were going out for a ride today?"

"There's been no movement until now, probably because I can't think of where I'm going, so I've canceled it by default...... But that guy can't say, maybe he'll come over at noon when it's hottest and pull us out. ”

"Does Harumi want to go out?"

"I'll do it all."

The two lay down for a while, and because they touched his deflated stomach, Naoko still got up.

"It's past nine o'clock...... Eat whatever you want. ”

"Hmm."

She got up, and Naruse couldn't stay on the bed any longer.

Just went downstairs to wash up, and after preparing some food casually, the two of them lay down on the sofa again.

Compared with lying on the bed, it is nothing more than a change of place, a little more entertainment than touching each other's bodies.

"Isn't it clear that the typhoon hasn't dissipated yet...... I didn't come here for a few days, and I thought I had turned to the sea, but I ended up lingering over there. ”

"If a typhoon comes, it will be a little cooler for a few days."

"Hmm...... But if the timing is not good, it will be annoying. ”

"Huh?"

"If a typhoon makes landfall, the fireworks display at Lake Ogawara will have to be canceled."

"Ahh

Blowing the air conditioner, watching TV, and killing time, the already short morning passed quickly.

"It's noon."

"Hmm."

"Is Naoko hungry?"

"It's fine."

"Me too."

"Hmmm......"

Just lying down until one o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them were still a little hungry.

"I knew I would have prepared more breakfast."

"Let's have cold noodles at noon." Naoko sat up, and the thin quilt covering her body slipped off because the air conditioner was turned on a little low, revealing her upper body wearing only a suspender shirt.

"I'll go get ready."

Naruse also sat up, raised his hand and pressed her shoulder,

Naoko looked up at him, "Then cut the two cucumbers left over from yesterday." ”

"Well, do you still need to make shredded eggs?"

"Anything else in the fridge, tomatoes?"

"It seems to be gone."

"Then do it."

"Okay." Naruse leaned over and kissed her again, then turned to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Naoko was lying in a different position on the sofa when she suddenly heard something.

Ding Ding Ding –

The chopsticks stir the egg mixture, constantly hitting the edge of the bowl, making a crisp sound.

Looking at the slowly heating oil pan, feeling that it was almost there, Naruse poured the egg liquid into it evenly, picked up the pot again, and shook it to spread the egg liquid flat on the bottom of the pot.

Cover and simmer for a while, until the egg liquid is basically solidified, he turns the dough over again, continues to fry for a while, and then takes out the egg skin.

"Shhh

The egg skin that had just come out of the pot was still a little hot, and Naruse was so hot that he shrunk his hand, so he left it alone for the time being, washed the two cucumbers that he took out before, removed the head and tail, and cut them into thin strips.

Boiling two bowls of sauce with soy sauce, miso, sugar, bonito flakes and the like, set aside to cool, and while the noodles are boiling in hot water, he rolls up the cold egg skin and cuts it into shredded eggs.

"There are no tomatoes, it looks like something is missing......"

Naruse thought about it and fried two more slices of bacon.

Cook the noodles, put them in cold water with ice cubes, take them out and put them on a plate, serve them with shredded eggs, cucumbers, and finely chopped bacon, and finally pour the sauce on them, and their lunch is ready for two.

As a result, as soon as he brought out the two plates of cold noodles, he frowned.

"You couldn't have come at the right time."

"What are you doing, I'm not here to eat."

Hikaru Takikawa didn't know when she came over and sat on the sofa.

Naoko got up and came over, and Naruse glanced at the scorching sun outside, "Are you going to go out at this time?" ”

"I'll talk about it when you're done."

He glanced at her, and she ignored him, picked up the remote control and pinched it.

"Let's eat first."

"Uh-huh."

After pouring two cups of barley tea, Naruse took another cup and poured a cup for the one in the living room who was rubbing the air conditioner.

"Thank you~"

"You've eaten it so early."

"What is Chunhai talking about, it's past one o'clock in the afternoon."

"It's normal to eat at this time of summer."

"My family still eats at normal times."

Naruse didn't say much to her, returned to the restaurant, and continued to eat cold noodles.

"When did she come?"

"Haruhae just entered the kitchen for less than a minute, and the light came over." Naoko said, picking up shredded cucumbers and shredded eggs with chopsticks and putting them in her mouth along with the noodles.

"How's it taste?"

"Hmm." She nodded, smiling and telling him she was satisfied.

After lunch, as soon as they returned to the living room, Hikaru Takikawa said to them, "Let's go to the river in the afternoon to play in the water." ”

Naruse turned his head to look at Naoko: "This is the kind of friend Yanagisawa said not to date." ”

Yanagisawa ...... Ah, it's Harumi's teacher. She quickly remembered.

He was slightly stunned, and quickly nodded.

He didn't know if he had subconsciously regarded her as a leaf just now, or if he thought that Naoko was also in the same class as him......

"It's too much." Hikaru Takikawa also heard his words, "Just play by the river in front of Ichiha's house, and it's not dangerous." ”

No one drowned in the middle of the night, and there was certainly no danger during the day.

Naruse took a breath, "When it's so hot?" ”

"That's why I'm going to the river to play in the water."

"People go to the beach."

She widened her eyes slightly, "It's okay to go to the beach, then go to Mutsu Bay, where there are a lot of beaches." ”

"Forget it."

Naruse looked at Naoko, and she said that she listened to him.

"If I'm going to get into the water, I'll go change my shorts."

"I'm going to change it too."

The two went back to their room to change their clothes and went out with Hikaru Takikawa.

"It's so hot......"

"It's definitely hot when you just come out of the air-conditioned room, just get used to it." Hikaru Takikawa said, for fear that the two would retreat.

Riding a motorcycle, in this kind of weather, the two really couldn't put on the stuffy helmets, and just put them on and took them off again.

"Be careful, it'll be fine."

Seeing that he was not reluctant, Naoko went back to the house and took a large white hat and put it on her head.

"What a beautiful hat." Hikaru Takikawa boasted.

"Thank you." Naoko smiled at her and looked at her boyfriend again, only to notice that he was a little distracted.

"Do you want to wear it for Harumi?"

"No, Naoko is wearing it." Naruse came back to his senses and turned around, "Did you inform the starfish?" ”

The latter sentence is said to Hikaru Takikawa.

"Nope. But Yiye and the starfish are at home, just go over directly. ”

"Okay."

Three people and two cars, rode to the door of Starfish's house.

"Eh, are you going to play in the water...... Where to go? ”

"The river in front of Kazuha's house."

Although the starfish was a little surprised, he quickly agreed, and glanced at Naoko covertly before entering.

"Then I'll change my clothes."

When she came out after changing her clothes, Naruse glanced at her head and looked away.

She didn't wear the big white hat that resembled the hat on Naoko's head.

"Shall I take you?"

"No, I'd like to ride myself."

"Haha, okay."

Starfish just got the motorcycle yesterday, and when it was still fresh, I couldn't wait to ride to the convenience store.

When riding to the intersection, Hikaru Takikawa said that he was going to the supermarket and asked them to pass first.

When he came to Morimi's house, he asked Naoko to get off the car first, and Naruse found a shady place to park the motorcycle - after half a minute in the sun, the car could not be ridden.

"You stop by me. Come here again, or you won't be able to stop coming in later. ”

Starfish rode back in the car, rode back in, and parked side by side with his car.

"How does it feel?" He asked suddenly.

Starfish was stunned, "Huh? ”

"I said what it feels like to be on a bike."

"It feels good...... It's very labor-saving and convenient. She smiled unconsciously, "I'm going to use my motorcycle to deliver wine later." ”

"Do you want to put the wine crate in front?"

"Hmm...... It seems that it can only be put in front. ”

"Then be safe." Naruse didn't say much, and Starfish also got out of the car to follow him, and came to the edge of the living room of Morimi's house.

Morimi had just received his message and was waiting below.

"How old are you to come and play in this little ditch that can't drown?"

“……”

Naruse glanced at her, she didn't look at him, but the corners of her mouth curved.

"Nanmu River is not small." Naoko said, "And it's good that it's not dangerous." ”

"It's not exciting enough, is it?"

"Now in this weather, I don't want any excitement."

Morimi smiled, and then asked, "What about Hikari, why haven't you come here yet?" ”

"She went to the supermarket and didn't know what to buy."

After a few people waited for a while, Hikaru Takikawa rode over with a watermelon hanging on the car.

"Harumi take it."

Naruse untied the watermelon, and his hand sank, "It's so heavy...... It's pretty big. ”

"Super expensive."

"Let's stop over there."

Takikawa Hikaru rode over, and hurriedly turned his head and said, "Don't open the watermelon, take it to the river and soak it, and eat it when you come back!" ”

"Got it."

"I'm really going to play in the water......" Morimi muttered.

When Hikaru Takikawa stopped the car and came out, several people didn't say much, and walked towards the river with watermelons.

"Can you just soak the watermelon in water?"

"Find a place where the sun can't get it, cool it down."

Naruse carried a watermelon, followed Hikaru Takigawa, and walked along the river until he reached the bottom of the bridge on Kamiaoyanagi Bridge before finding a shady place.

"Wow, is it groundwater gushing out of here? …… Good ice. ”

She soon spotted a gap in the water gushing at the bottom of the bridge, and the water was much cooler than the one next to it.

"Just put it here."

Naruse put down the watermelon, but he couldn't put it down at all.

Whoop -

Taking a big step and grabbing the watermelon that was almost washed away by the current, as soon as he looked up, Hikaru Takikawa fished a stone from the water and hugged it, looking at him as well.

"Pile up some rocks and surround the watermelons here."

"Hmm."

The watermelon was temporarily placed on the rocky beach in the shallow water, and Naruse followed suit to lift the rocks in the water.

The water continued to wash down, and the stones were uneven, and the smaller ones were easily washed down, so the two of them chose the larger stones as much as they could.

"Why didn't Sister Yue come over?"

"Month? She was called out by a friend. She's going out tomorrow. ”

"Where to go?"

"Kagoshima."

“…… Running so far? ”

"yes, it's far away. He said he was going to Sakurajima to see the volcano. ”

"Isn't there a volcano here?"

"Huh?"

"Iwaki Mountain."

"Haha, she's going to see an active volcano!"

The two of them were piling up stones, and when they were about to take shape, the three people who had been left behind also came to them with the river water.

"I'll just say they're already playing." Morimi looked back and said.

Naoko just smiled, and Starfish quickened her pace and stopped beside the two.

"Is it used to stop the watermelon?" She could guess what they were going to do, too.

"That's right."

"I'm here to help, too."

Add a few stones to the starfish, and that's about it.

Naruse brought the watermelon and put it in the place surrounded by stones, she reached into the water and touched it, and suddenly exclaimed: "The water is so cold!" ”

He smiled, "Did you just find out?" ”

"We'll just play under the bridge." Morimi said, "If you can't get in the sun, you won't be seen by others." ”

"It doesn't matter if you're seen." Hikaru Takikawa straightened his waist, "It's not a shame to play in the water." ”

"High school students playing in the water is another matter."

"No, it won't."

Morimi didn't bother to argue with her, looked at the watermelon surrounded by stones, and asked, "What do you want to play, naked swimming?" ”

“……”

A few people looked over, and the starfish blushed: "Don't make such jokes." ”

Hikaru Takikawa ignored her proposal, "How did you play before, build a dam with stones, and dive for more time than holding your breath or something?" ”

"Yes, yes."

"Forget about diving, I don't want to get wet."

Morimi and Starfish reacted differently and looked at each other again.

"It's pretty much the same for fun." Naruse also spoke at this time, "We're not children anymore. ”

Hikaru Takikawa suddenly looked over and stared at him in silence.

“……”

Naruse was stunned, she looked away, and said, "I want to have some fun." ”

"Then the starfish will accompany the light to play here and hold your breath and pile up stones." "I actually wanted to walk along the river. ”

“…… Are you coming back? ”

"Of course, where am I going?"

"Tracing the origin?" Morimi said from the side.

"I've already been to the source of this river with the light."

Hikaru Takikawa smiled and nodded quickly.

So the few people separated for a while, and Naruse flowed down the river and walked down in the direction of the current, and Naoko followed him.

When the two of them walked a little farther, Morimi said, "Are you really just here to play in the water today?" ”

Hikaru Takikawa glanced at her, "Otherwise?" ”

Morimi just smiled and followed in the direction the two had left.

Starfish looked at the two of them, "Light ......"

Hikaru Takikawa smiled at her, "Don't worry about them, let's play first, they'll be back soon anyway." ”

"Uh-huh."

Hearing the screams of the starfish behind her, Morimi glanced back, she had already sat down, and Hikaru Takikawa next to her also threw herself into the water.

"Really just here to play in the water?"

She asked a third question, and there was no one around to answer her.

After a few glances, she still turned around and quickened her pace to keep up with Naruse and Naoko in front.

The Nanmu River flows to this point, and the river is relatively gentle, and there is not much drop, at least for them at the age of high school students, there is no danger.

But accidents are always inevitable.

Hearing a plop behind her, Naoko turned her head to look, and her eyes immediately widened.

"One leaf!"

Naruse also turned around, and Morimi was lying on his stomach in the water, thrashing.

“……”

Ignoring his feelings, he turned back, and she got up on her own before he could reach out, and sat in the water looking at him with a look of chagrin on her face.

"Are you laughing?"

Naruse restrained the curvature of the corners of his mouth, "What's the matter." ”

"One leaf." Naoko also quickly came to her side, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay......"

Morimi looked at her palm, and suddenly her foot slipped and fell, she instinctively raised her hand to support it, and her hands hurt slightly, but fortunately the skin was not broken.

Still, the clothes were soaked.

"I'd better go back to them." Morimi said, and just as she was about to get up, Naruse reached out and pulled her up.

She glanced at him and squeezed his hand before letting go.

"Don't fall again."

"Rest assured, you don't have a chance to gloat."

Naruse didn't say anything, pulled Naoko up, and continued to walk down.

Morimi was much more careful when he went back, and his feet didn't slip again, but the soaking wet appearance still made Hikaru Takikawa and Starfish guess something.

"Fell into the water?"

"Hmm."

"Are you alright?"

"Shame on you."

Hikaru Takikawa laughed, "We're going to build an embankment at the bottom of the bridge, and we're sure to be able to complete it this time, so let's do it together." ”

"Don't, stupid." Anyway, he was already soaking wet, and Morimi sat down by the water, "And you guys definitely won't be able to pile it up." ”

"Why?"

"The river is too wide. The current is only small and the actual flow is still very large. ”

"We've already piled up some of them." Hikaru Takikawa said, pointing to a pile of rocks in front of him.

"It's a lot of work, isn't it? If you want to be stable and not be swept down by the current, you have to pile up more stones. Morimi sat at the water's edge and talked, "Just such a short section is enough to toss, let alone block the entire river." ”

The water at the bottom of the bridge was of different depths, and the deeper part could submerge Hikaru Takikawa's chest, and the water where she was standing at this time was not up to her waist.

"If you can't block it, forget it." She said.

Morimi took off his glasses and found that there was nowhere to wipe them, so he shook them twice and put them back on, "That's not a lot of work." ”

The two looked at each other.

"We're here to play anyway." Hikaru Takikawa said.

"Then feel free to do so."

"Isn't it boring for Kazuha to sit there."

"It's a little boring......"

Morimi stood up and looked at the piers at the bottom of the bridge, and then at the watermelons that were surrounded by stones.

The sun overhead was blocked by the bridge deck, and the river was turbulent and flowed through the cracks in the stones, and the huge watermelons floated on the water, restless.

"I'll keep an eye on the melons for you, lest they be stolen by the kappa."
