The bamboo skewers were bought, and Naruse also stayed in the kitchen and helped to string them together.

"I've eaten so many skewers at an izakaya, but it's the first time I've done it myself."

"The front of the skewer is very sharp, so be careful."

With Morimi's help, Naoko has already finished processing the beef she bought before, and she is cutting Jing onions at this time.

And Morimi was rarely silent at this time, just burying his head in skewering the processed chicken onto a bamboo skewer.

"There are too many skewers." Naruse reminded beside him, glancing at her face.

"A little more skewers, it's also convenient to eat."

"It's too much to bake."

She glanced at him, but pulled off the extra piece of meat and picked up a bamboo skewer again.

"It's cut." Naoko also brought the chopped green onions, and the three of them skewered them together.

"Chunhai bought a lot, there is still beef over there, there must be leftovers."

"It's okay, there are five of us, and some of us can still have a top two, let's eat slowly."

"You can also stay at my house today, just use this as a supper, just like last time." Morimi said.

"Do you want to stay overnight......" Naoko looked at Naruse.

"Forget it." Naruse stabbed the bamboo skewer into the green onion segment in his hand, flicked it down, and picked up another piece of chicken.

Morimi seemed to just mention it casually and didn't say anything.

When all the skewers were finished, the three of them smeared the sauce prepared by Naoko on the meat skewers.

"By the way, I also have spices for barbecue. I'll look for it. ”

"Is it spicy?"

"It's not too spicy, is it...... I forgot, I'll talk about it when I find it. ”

Morimi rummaged, turned his head to look at the kitchen door again, and Hikaru Takikawa came.

"I'm here to help."

"You're done with everything."

"Aren't Naoko and Harumi still busy?"

She walked over, and Naruse gave way, "If you're idle, you can brush the sauce again." ”

"Wow, that's a lot of skewers."

"It's all counting on you and the starfish."

He went to wash his hands, "If you both can't finish eating, you can only stay at her house and go back when you finish eating." ”

Seeing the corners of his mouth, Sen turned around and said, "Do you want to stay overnight?" ”

Hikaru Takikawa didn't think much about it, "Okay." ”

“……”

Naoko looked at her, and Morimi turned around again and gave her a vial of powder, "Found it." Naoko take a look at it, can you accept this taste? ”

"Ah, okay."

She took the bottle, opened it and smelled it.

"Seems pretty good......

"Let me smell it too." Hikaru Takikawa also came over.

While the three of them were studying the spices, Naruse left the kitchen.

The starfish left outside, fiddling with charcoal, stained with black ash on their hands.

"Can you make a fire?" She asked.

"Are you hungry?" Naruse sat down.

She turned her head, only to notice that it was him, "No...... Just ask. ”

"Wait a little longer." Naruse glanced at the sunset on the horizon, "I'm going to stay here tonight, don't worry." ”

"Eh, do you want to stay overnight?"

"Don't you want to stay?"

"Nope." Starfish shook his head, "Then stay overnight...... I knew I had brought my pajamas with me. ”

"It's only a matter of minutes if you ride back now."

"That's different."

"Somewhere is different."

"It doesn't feel the same."

Naruse didn't bother to ask what it was like, so he got up and looked at the charcoal in the grill.

"You're putting too much. Take a few pieces out and add them slowly when the fire is not enough. ”

"Oh." The starfish stretched out his dirty hand and pinched out the charcoal again.

"Just say that you will have a bonfire today."

"Is there any wood to burn?" Naruse asked, and went to the warehouse where the firewood was stacked before. I chopped part of it last time, and there was still a lot of firewood left in it.

"Do you want to chop wood?"

Starfish leaned over to take a look, then looked up at him, and then noticed that the way he looked at her didn't seem quite right.

"Why ......?"

She followed his gaze down, landing on the hand she was holding his arm.

"Have you washed your hands?"

“…… I'm sorry! ”

She hurriedly rubbed his arm twice, and the result became darker and darker.

"You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

"Loosen."

She quickly let go, and then he grabbed her wrist.

"Huh...... Don't don't don't ...... Yikes—"

Hikaru Takikawa came out of the kitchen and saw the starfish running back from outside with a puffed mouth and a black stain on his face.

"Starfish, your face ......"

"He made it!"

When Takigawa Hikaru heard how Kose's hand was grabbed and scribbled on her face, he was immediately filled with righteous indignation.

"It's too much! I'm going to teach Chunhai a lesson! ”

And when the starfish came out after washing their faces, they saw the two of them chopping firewood together outside the warehouse, talking and laughing.

“……”

She pursed her lips and sat down on the edge.

After a while, Naoko and Morimi also came out.

"Harumi and Hikari are chopping wood?"

"Well, aren't you going to stay overnight at night, just say light a bonfire like last time." Starfish said.

Naoko pursed her lower lip and didn't say much.

Morimi looked at the two people over there, and then looked at the sky.

"When they're done chopping wood, we'll start making a fire and roasting meat."

"Okay."

Smack!

Splitting a log in half, Naruse lifted one of the halves up and split it again.

Smack!

Taking a breath, he looked left and right, and the chopped firewood was scattered all over the ground.

"Almost."

"I'm going to burn it all night."

"Maybe it will rain again in the middle of the night, and it will be all extinguished for you."

"Huh...... I look at the weather forecast. ”

Hikaru Takikawa put down the axe, took out his phone and looked at it, and soon smiled again.

"It won't rain for two days."

"That's all."

"Okay."

The two put down their axes and picked up the firewood scattered around. Naruse turned his head to look, and the three people next to the grill also started to make a fire.

Stacking the firewood together, he looked at the sky, "Let's light the fire later, it's still dawn." ”

"Uh-huh."

The two went over to help light the fire again, and after tossing for a while, the charcoal in the grill was finally lit.

Starfish took the magazine that Morimi had brought and continued to fan the charcoal, while she and Naoko went inside to fetch the ingredients.

"How's it going?"

"I think it's ready to be baked."

Morimi put down a large plate full of meat skewers, and in the courtyard, Naruse and Hikaru Takikawa also rode back.

"If you drink alcohol and then ride a bike, it's illegal." Hikaru Takikawa came down with a big bag of beer, "So I can only stay overnight today." ”

"Why don't you say that underage drinking is illegal in itself."

"Then when I bought wine just now, why didn't Chunhai stop me."

"Can you stop it?"

"Chunhai just wants to drink it."

Naoko looked at the bag she had put down, "How much beer did you buy......

"Two cans per person." Hikaru Takikawa stretched out two fingers, "If you don't want to drink beer, Harumi also bought a lot of drinks." ”

Naruse put down another bag full of drinks, and Starfish immediately leaned over and rummaged through it, "Is this going to be a party?" ”

"There's a little less variety of food." Morimi said.

"Takeout and order a pizza or something?" Hikaru Takigawa proposed.

"It's better to ride your own bike and buy it, it's faster." Naruse proposed a little more reliably.

"I can't finish it......" Naoko frowned.

"Just kidding." Naruse immediately changed his words, "Let's start grilling." ”

The sun had just set, and before it got dark, the barbecue party for several people began.

"Is Sister Yue back, tell her to come over too?"

"They won't come home until they've had dinner out."

"Okay."

After opening a can of beer and taking a sip, Naruse grabbed a few skewers and grilled them on the grill.

Naoko stood next to her, placing the slices of meat of the right size and thickness on the grill with tongs, and after putting down a few slices, she turned over the first slice.

Poof!

She glanced back, and all three starfish had opened their beers.

"We're such a bunch of bad boys......"

"Yes." Morimi took a sip of beer, and the slightly bitter taste made her frown slightly, "Before you know it, you've done a lot of bad things." ”

Naruse's head tilted and didn't turn around.

The corners of her mouth hooked, and she held up her beer to Naoko again.

"Naoko should also be a bad boy."
