A year has passed, and the opening ceremony of the second semester is still the same as a year ago, and the focus of the new semester is still on the cultural festival next month.

And because of the raging typhoon, today's opening ceremony also talked about some safety issues, and by the time it was over, half an hour had passed.

"Don't forget, I'll tell Yanagisawa when I get back." Morimi urged, for fear that if he was one step too late, they would be ruthlessly separated by luck.

"Hmm."

Back in the upstairs classroom, when the teacher in charge also came up, Naruse went straight to the podium and said that he didn't want to change seats.

It was still the break after the assembly, and there were not many people coming back from the classroom, and no one was paying attention to this side, Yanagisawa looked at him, "Why?" ”

"The first and second in the grade both prefer that position." Naruse said.

“……”

The teacher raised his eyebrows and looked at him again, "Okay, I see, you better continue to sit there." ”

Yanagisawa looked back at the seat chart on the blackboard that had been filled in with numbers, looked for the numbers of the last two seats in the innermost row, and rummaged through the lottery slips that had not yet been folded.

"Take it."

Taking the note with the two seats written on it, Naruse thanked him.

"Don't let the other students see it."

"Teacher, I've seen it all......," said the girl sitting in the front row.

Yanagisawa raised his eyes, "When I didn't see it." ”

She pursed her lips and said nothing.

Looking around, Naruse folded his hands and smiled gently at her, "Help me keep it a secret, Aomura-san." ”

Her face suddenly turned red, "Okay...... Also, I'm Aoyama. ”

"Thank you, Aoyama-san."

Returning to his seat, he gave one of the notes to Morimi.

She took it and just glanced at it, "What did you say to Aomura?" ”

"Didn't say anything, just let her keep it a secret...... And the name is Qingshan, I said how could I be wrong, I was misled by you. ”

Morimi didn't care, and then asked, "What did you say, how did I look at Yanagisawa and seem to agree directly." ”

"Moving out of the first and second grades can save a lot of trouble."

She smiled, "I knew that." ”

Naruse glanced at the note in his hand again and folded it, "Put it away, pretend to be a little bit when you draw lots, don't embarrass the teacher." ”

"Got it." Agreeing, of course, she is willing to cooperate.

The opening ceremony has ended, there are no other arrangements in the morning, and there will be no classes, but the class meeting will continue, and the seats will be changed, and the students in Class A will return to the classroom one after another.

"I'll just say a few words......

Yanagisawa continued the conversation for about ten minutes, and then asked the class to line up outside, one by one, to draw lots and find new seats.

Leaning against the wall of the corridor, Naruse looked at the rain outside, and Morimi, who was in front of him, suddenly hit him with his arm.

"What's wrong?"

"Look." She lifted her chin.

Naruse looked over, and Hikaru Takikawa came down from the fourth floor, and his eyes were also attracted by the Class A students lined up in the corridor.

She soon saw them too.

“……”

Looking at each other, she lowered her eyes, turned around and continued downstairs.

"She's not used to looking like this." Morimi said, "I'd rather see her rush over and slap you." ”

Naruse pursed her lower lip and ignored it.

She took out her phone again and sent a message to Hikaru Takikawa.

Kazuha: Where to go?

I didn't receive a reply for a while, and Morimi didn't care, put away his phone, and looked through the window.

"I'm so nervous."

"Hmm."

The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

The team moved forward quickly, and after a few minutes, it was Morimi's turn.

She clenched the note in her hand and walked into the classroom.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, the conditions for the lottery were also very simple, it was an open corrugated cardboard box with folded notes inside.

Yanagisawoka leaned against the window and watched, Morimi reached in, took it out again, opened the note in his hand, and pretended to look for the seating chart on the blackboard.

After she "draws" the lot, Naruse comes in and goes through the same process.

"I want to shout 'good luck' in a flashy way."

"Keep it low-key."

The two returned to their seats.

Looking at his friend who had changed to a new seat, turning his head to look at himself in silence, Morimi smiled at her.

After everyone's new seats were decided, Yanagisawoka stood on the podium again, adjusted it slightly, and then it was time for the chickens and dogs to move things.

Naruse and Morimi saved themselves from such trouble and just stayed in their seats.

Buzz –

Morimi took out his phone and looked at it.

Light: Health room.

She raised an eyebrow.

Kazuha: What time did you sleep last night?

Light: Four o'clock.

Kazuha: Let's rest first.

There was no more news to send, so Morimi put away his phone and turned his head to tell Naruse about it.

He was silent for a moment, "Let her sleep." ”

"Aren't you going to take advantage of people's danger?"

"No, no."

Morimi smiled and turned away.

On the other side, in the health room on the first floor of the annex building, Hikaru Takikawa was lying on the bed and stared at his mobile phone for a while.

"Didn't you say come here to catch up on sleep?"

The health care teacher, who was sitting not far away, glanced back and found that she was playing with her mobile phone, and opened her mouth to remind her.

"Sleep now."

Hikaru Takikawa put down his phone, sat up again, and closed the curtains around the bed.

The female teacher shook her head, just thinking that she wanted to hide and continue to play with her phone, and she didn't bother to say anything.

As soon as the curtain was drawn, only the ceiling could be seen.

Looking at the lattice above the white ceiling, Hikaru Takikawa closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep.

However, as soon as he closed his eyes, his face appeared, more powerful than a curse.

“……”

She opened her eyes again, her head half-buried in the pillow, her face growing more and more tired.

"What the hell do you want......

The trance-like gaze gradually condensed, and fell on the crumpled left hand in front of him.

She remembered the warmth of his hand when the first fireworks were launched yesterday, and the toughness he held on to her on the bus this morning.

It's all this hand.

“……”

Hikaru Takikawa closed his eyes again and gently touched his lower lip with his left hand.

Tired......

Harumi, Kazuha, Naoko, and Starfish, their relationship with each other, her choices...... Countless distractions came back to her, and she didn't want to think about anything, she just wanted to get a good night's sleep.

She pulled the quilt up and covered herself completely.

Dark, muggy.

She curled up, her attention gradually shifting to her surroundings, no longer passively resisting the enveloping tiredness.

Before he knew it, Hikaru Takikawa fell into a deep sleep.

The accumulated tiredness completely immersed the consciousness in darkness, and it was only when it was almost finished that it sat up again, and continued to look at the fragments that tormented it.

【“…… I like Naoko, and I like Kazuha, and I can't let go of either of them. ”】

【“…… Whatever the consequences, it's your fault. ”】

【“…… There are some deviations in our communication, and you and I have some misunderstandings. ”】

What exactly is the misunderstanding...... What exactly do you want to do?

Hikaru Takikawa wanted to question loudly, but Naoko was always watching her from the side, and she couldn't ask.

She was very bored, and gradually felt that this boredom did not only come from the bottom of her heart.

It's hot.

It's hot...... I can't breathe.

"Light ......"

His voice rang in his ears again, muffled.

At a moment, the lingering stuffiness suddenly disappeared, and his voice suddenly became much clearer.

“…… It's really still lying here. Still covered with a quilt, isn't it hot enough? ”

"Are you still alive?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

His voice ...... And the voice of a leaf?

Hikaru Takikawa suddenly woke up and opened his eyes as well.

Both stood by the bed, both looking at her.

"Spring Sea...... One leaf ......"

The voices of other people talking sounded next to him, and Naruse turned his head to look, and closed the curtain a little more.

"Finally wake up, you've been asleep for a day."

"Eh......"

"It's past three o'clock in the afternoon." Morimi added.

Hikaru Takikawa sat up, picked up his phone and glanced at it, only to realize that this was indeed the case.

There are still a lot of unread messages on the phone, some of which are from the two people next to me.

"I thought you didn't want to pay attention to me, but you were really just sleeping." Morimi said again, "Have you slept enough?" ”

Putting down the phone, her consciousness was much clearer.

"Enough sleep."

"Then get up, it's already school." Naruse said, "You didn't have any afternoon classes either. ”

Hikaru Takikawa pursed her lower lip, but there was no response, and as soon as she got out of bed, her stomach made a long noise.

Goo –

“……”

"I didn't eat lunch either." Morimi looked at her, "Did you bring a bento today?" ”

"Brought it."

"That's okay, let's go back to the classroom and get the lunch box first, we'll wait for you in the department, let's talk while eating." Naruse said, "What do you want to drink?" ”
