Classes are held during the day, and in the afternoon, they are busy with club activities, and in the blink of an eye, the first week of school is Friday.

After school in the afternoon, Naruse came to the ministry as usual, and Morimi followed.

"Aren't the starfish coming today?"

She asked, remembering vividly the sad look on her face when Starfish came to the restoration department yesterday afternoon to see her.

She felt a little innocent, after all, she was pulled by him yesterday.

Then, the starfish stayed here for half an hour, and then went to work in the café.

"I don't know." Naruse said, "I didn't see her just now, and I didn't say hello in advance, who knows if she will come." ”

Morimi didn't say anything, paced around the department and slowly turned around, and then stopped in front of one of the shelves, looking at the contents on it.

"Excuse me......"

A little sound from the door drew the eyes of both her and her boyfriend.

"Registration for the flea market, right?" A first-year girl poked her head out of the door of the department, her eyes rolling back and forth on their faces.

"Yes." Naruse nodded, "Please come in." ”

The girl answered, but instead of coming in, she picked up a large bag that had been placed at the door and dragged it into the department.

Naruse glanced twice and pursed his lower lip.

She's not going to just take what she's going to sell, is she?

"I heard that the registration needs to be reviewed first, so I brought everything here."

“……”

Really.

How did she hear about it?

There was a sound of brisk footsteps behind him, Naruse turned around, and Morimi sat down next to him, "Take a look." ”

There is no more direct review than looking at the real thing, Naruse nodded and motioned for her to do so.

"Okay."

The first-grader dragged the bag in front of the two of them, then took the contents one by one and put them on the table.

Ragdoll bears with missing ears, mottled old alarm clocks, and slightly worn plates are all common, and there is nothing special.

Thinking like this, Naruse pulled out another string of beads from the bag.

How do you look like Buddha beads?

As soon as he picked it up and looked at it twice, the younger sister took out another wooden fish and a wooden fish stick.

"This is a wooden fish used by monks?" Morimi couldn't help but speak.

"Yes." The senior sister nodded, "My family runs a temple, and it's near the school." ”

“……”

She and her boyfriend glanced at each other and looked at each other.

Tsugara is located in the town of Shinjimachi, Tsumae City, and as the name suggests, there are many temples in the town, and there are dozens of temples of all sizes gathered around Tsutaka alone.

The backyard of the temple is usually accompanied by a cemetery, and even on both sides of the road where many students go to school, there are dense tombstones.

In the school, the students and teachers are almost accustomed to the fact that they can see the nearby Saikatsuin Temple and the large cemetery behind the courtyard when they look out from the windows on the higher floors.

But it's the first time I've been in contact with someone in that environment for Naruse and Morimi.

"Can this be sold?" He put down the beads and picked up the wooden fish again, which looked mottled and looked as if it was decades old.

"I can sell it, no problem."

The younger sister continued to dig out the things used by the monks, and there were several strings of Buddhist beads of various colors alone.

"Since my grandfather passed away last year, and my father was reluctant to inherit the monastery, no one in my family has become a monk. I said I should take things to the flea market and sell them, and my parents were very much in favor of it. ”

"Can you really sell it......" Naruse muttered with the beads, worried not about her family's, but about the student union.

"Any questions?" The junior asked.

"Don't rush outside just yet."

Naruse put down the Buddhist beads, took out his mobile phone again, and took a few photos of the things on the table, "I'll ask the steward." ”

"Oh."

She sent the photo to the student council president, and after a while, she sent a reply.

Tomiko Yoshioka: With the consent of your family, it's fine.

Naruse: OK.

"No problem." Putting away the phone, Naruse also got up and came out, helping to get the rest of the things out of the bag.

In addition to the toys that the school girl had when she was a child and some dishes that she didn't use at home, the remaining Buddhist supplies filled the two tables.

"That's all."

"Do you have a list of items?" Naruse asked.

The younger sister raised her hand, "Everything is here." ”

"I mean...... Forget it, Yiye, take a notebook out, what do you remember when I say something. ”

Morimi was happy to listen to him, "Okay. ”

Naruse took out his phone and prepared to shoot a video, starting with those ordinary things.

"A ragdoll bear with missing ears, one."

Morimi took a pen to record.

"That bear had one ear." The younger sister spoke.

"It doesn't matter." He shifted the camera, "Mechanical alarm clock, one." ”

It took a while for such a large bag of things to be fully recorded in a list.

"Is that okay?" The junior asked.

"Hmm."

Naruse looked at it a few more times and said, "If you can't sell it at the flea market of the cultural festival...... Eighty percent can't be sold, you can go to the second-hand store at Central Station and ask, maybe it will be collected. Especially this kind of old wooden fish or something. ”

"Is that so?"

The younger sister nodded, indicating understanding, and after asking no other questions, she left.

"Wait a minute!"

Naruse chased to the door, "Are you going to put these things here?" ”

The younger sister was surprised, "Do you want to bring it back?" ”

"Where the hell did you hear about the flea market......

Naruse was a little weak, he was especially careful to avoid this kind of misunderstanding when designing the flyer, as long as he looked at it carefully, it was impossible to drag things over like she did, and then throw them away.

"I heard from my classmates."

He had to explain it again.

After hearing this, the senior sister expressed her understanding, and said, "But when the time comes, I have to bring it over, it's too troublesome, can't I put it on your side?" ”

There is no shortage of space in the restoration department, and these things have already been recorded on the list, and it is troublesome for her to bump and break when she drags it back, so Naruse can only agree.

After sending the school girl away, he returned to the department and put everything into the bag she brought.

Seeing him come in alone, Morimi was surprised: "What, the things are put here?" ”

"Well, she said she was too lazy to move around...... The weight of these things is not light, and I don't know how she dragged it over. ”

"Do you have to put it here?" She also got up to help clean up, "There are so many Buddhist supplies in the department, I'm embarrassed to do dirty things here." ”

“……”

Naruse shook his head and ignored it.

After packing up his things and putting them in the corner, he thought about it, wrote a note and pasted it on the bag.

"Really careful." Morimi hugged him from behind.

"The door is still open." Naruse squeezed her hand, wrenched it from her embrace, and returned to her seat.

She came over and said, "It's Friday, is there a dinner party after school?" ”

"If you don't come, Naoko and I are also going to eat outside."

"Of course I'll come, you know who I'm talking about."

Naruse pursed her lower lip, "If the light is coming, I won't stop it." ”

"You're still mad at her?"

In the past two days, he and Hikaru Takikawa have almost been unable to speak.

"What's the matter, I just felt a little embarrassed for a while, she was angry."

Morimi sat down, "Are you really mad at you?" ”

He was silent for a few seconds.

"Or maybe you're mad at yourself."

She lifted her gaze and looked at the ceiling, "I can't control it anyway, don't expect me to say anything to her." ”

"I know, I didn't have that in the first place." Naruse said.

Morimi lowered his gaze and sighed again.

"It's annoying. It's almost the weekend, and if you still want to relax, I shouldn't come...... Forget it, it's all here, let's do it once. ”

Naruse rolled his eyes.

"Don't you do it?"

"Didn't you say that you were embarrassed to do dirty things in front of that pile of Buddha beads and wooden fish?"

"I'll cover it with my clothes."

"Stop making a fuss."

It's the beginning of the month, ask for a monthly pass
