After PE class, the daytime passes quickly.

After school in the afternoon, Morimi was going to go to the school for class, so he cleaned up and left quickly.

Before going to the club, Naoko came over to meet her boyfriend as usual.

"The motorcycle shop sent a message in the afternoon that the new car had been delivered." Naruse said.

"Ah, then go pick up the car today?"

"Hmm." Naruse gestured to her schoolbag with her gaze, "I'll ride the car home later, and then let Hikari take me to pick up the car, wrap it for me." ”

There was nothing in the bag, and it wasn't a burden, but he said so, and of course Naoko would not object, so she took the bag off and gave it to him.

"I can take the new car back today."

Taking the schoolbag, he took her hand again, "If there is not much to do, the club will end early, and I will ride a new car to take Naoko around twice." ”

Naoko was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Okay." ”

He genuinely liked her.

Whenever she wavered, there would be moments like this that made her heart feel sure again.

It's just that......

Naoko lowered her head, her eyes rolling around, dispersing the little mist that had just risen in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Naruse was still aware of her fleeting depression.

"It's okay...... I'm also a little tired and want to go home early. ”

It's just that the person he likes has always been not just her.

Naoko lowered her head, leaned slightly on his shoulder, and raised her head again, "It's almost time, Harumi will come to me." ”

"I don't know when you're going to be done."

"Chunhai will come when he wants to come, and then take me away forcefully, so that the members of the department will not think that I want to be lazy."

Naruse smiled.

"Okay, I got it."

Naoko looked at his face and smiled.

"I'm over."

"Hmm."

Sending Naoko away, Naruse was about to return to the classroom with her schoolbag when she turned her head and saw the starfish cowering at the staircase on the other side.

“……”

He stood still, watching her probe shrink her head, and slowly poke her head out, but he still couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing her shrink back again, Naruse didn't bother to care about her, and turned around and went back to the classroom.

Grab your things again, and when you walk out the back door of the classroom, the starfish appears at the door "just right".

Looking at each other, she looked away again, "Are you going to the ministry?" ”

"No, no."

"Then I'......" she was stunned for a moment, "Huh? ”

"I have something to do today." Naruse said.

The starfish couldn't hide the disappointment on his face, and couldn't help but say, "Are you deliberately avoiding me?" ”

"If that's the case, you won't even see me now."

"I mean......" she paused, "just you and me, alone." ”

Naruse nodded, "That's true." ”

“……”

He admitted directly, she opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

"Why?"

"Because it's not time yet."

"When will it ......"

Naruse was silent for a moment, "When you don't ask such a question." ”

"Huh? …… What is this kind of problem...... Why are you all like this, can't you make your words clear! ”

Haixing was very dissatisfied, and when he wanted to say something, Hikaru Takikawa's voice came from behind him: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's fine." The person in front of her raised his hand and pressed her head, "My sister has reached the stage of rebellion." ”

“……”

The starfish wanted to refute, but he was reluctant to touch it for a short time, stiffened his neck, stiffened his head, and couldn't move.

And he grabbed her hair, but withdrew his hand.

"Yes." Hikaru Takikawa looked at the starfish that suddenly quieted down, and didn't say much, but asked, "Do you want to go back now?" ”

"Hmm."

"Go back?" Starfish looked up at them.

"Chunhai's new car has arrived." Hikaru Takikawa explained briefly.

"Let's talk as we go." Naruse picked up two school bags, "Starfish is also going to work at the café, let's go down together." ”

The three went downstairs, got on their own motorcycles, and left the school.

Separated from the starfish at the entrance of the café, the two rode straight back.

Back at home, Naruse parked the car, put down his schoolbag and came out, without staying long.

And when he came out, he saw Hikaru Takikawa's car, he thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to ride my car?" ”

The two exchanged once last week, and they switched back two days ago.

"I'll do it all." Hikaru Takikawa said.

"Then just send this car home, and I'll ride over to pick you up."

"Hmm."

Naruse rode her car out again, and when she arrived at Takigawa's house, she was already parked and waiting.

He turned her head, and she looked at the back seat of the motorcycle and stepped up with her legs raised.

"Hold me."

“……”

She leaned forward and hugged his waist for the first time in a long time, her movements stiff and unconsciously clenched.

He suddenly took her hand.

“……”

She was stunned for a moment, and slowly broke away, but he didn't hold on.

"Hold it so tightly, aren't you hot?"

“…… Let's go. ”

Naruse didn't say much, twisted the throttle, slowly rode out of the trail, turned into the prefectural road and raised the speed again.

The motorcycle sped away, whether out of fear or something else, and Hikaru Takikawa hugged him tightly again.

Ten minutes away, in her opinion, is a blink of an eye.

Having only had the experience of picking up a car a few months ago, Naruse is not familiar with driving, but he is not unprepared.

"It turns out that this shop also opens champagne to the people who pick up the car."

"Hmmm......"

After some tossing, he finally got on his new car, the Pearl Nebula Red Super Cub.

Naruse himself rode around first, tried the feel, and then let Hikaru Takikawa test ride.

"Feel it."

"Hmm."

Hikaru Takikawa got on the new car, followed by Naruse, and the two rode all the way and stopped near the city hall.

Seeing that she rode directly to the place where the license was issued, Naruse asked, "How do you feel?" ”

"Pretty much." Hikaru Takikawa stopped, "I still need to run in." ”

"Well, let's run in slowly, anyway, I'll ride this super cub in the future."

Naruse also got out of another car of his own, "This car is almost all just for me to run into." ”

She pursed her lower lip, stopped talking for a long time, and finally only nodded.

"Let's go inside." Naruse didn't say much, and while the city hall hadn't gotten off work yet, he went to license the new car first.

After working for a while, completing all the formalities that should be done, and paying some insurance and other fees, the new car can finally be legally on the road.

"After that, I rode this car to commute." Coming out of the city hall, Naruse said as he got on the new car again.

Hikaru Takikawa looked at the ZX-4RR, which was not much different from the new car under his seat, "What about this car?" ”

"If you're willing to ride, leave it on your side." He looked at her and said.

"I'm already strapped for garage space at home."

"Then park the car at my house."

“……”

She looked at him for a moment, and after a brief silence, looked away.

"Then I'll stop at home, I can usually take turns riding, so I won't eat dust all the time at your house."

Naruse smiled, "Whatever you want." ”

Putting on his helmet, Takikawa Mitsuyoshi was about to ask him if he wanted to run together for a while to familiarize himself with the feel, and he spoke:

"I'm going to pick up Naoko from school, show her around, and try out a new car. Is the light coming? ”

“…… No. ”

Why do you always forget that he has never lacked her dispensable company?

Hikaru Takikawa started the motorcycle, "I'll go back." ”

"Light."

She looked at him.

"Are you coming to the Restoration Department tomorrow?"
