Naruse moved a seat next to him, and Hikaru Takikawa looked at him, still sitting down in his original position.

He leaned back and said, "Just think so fast." ”

Hikaru Takikawa pursed her lower lip, "Since Harumi has made a decision, he will definitely not be satisfied with a school like Tsuzen University." ”

He looked over and said, "Tsu University is also the only national university in Aomori. ”

“……”

These were the same words she had said when she persuaded him to go to Kaojin University in the first grade.

"But the Faculty of Education of Tyu University is not well-known."

"yes, I don't know at all." Naruse said.

Hikaru Takikawa wasn't surprised, after all, the matter of becoming a teacher seemed to be just a decision he had made a few minutes ago.

"At least not as good as the University of Tokyo."

"How dare you think about it......" Naruse smiled and took another deep breath, "Even if it's me, Todai can't be admitted if you want to." ”

Hikaru Takikawa continued: "Naoko said that Harumi is always in the top few of the prestigious schools in Tokyo. ”

"When was that all that?"

He shook his head, "I was at that time and I am now, they are completely two states, and they can't be compared." ”

Although I don't know how the topic became how to get admitted to Tokyo University, Hikaru Takikawa still said:

"It's not difficult for Chunhai to return to the state at that time."

"It's hard to say."

He looked over, "At that time, I only cared about myself, but now, I have a lot of people to care about. ”

Her heart pounded.

“…… For example, Naoko and Kazuha. ”

"It's not just them."

Who else?

And starfish?

Is there still her......

"Yes."

"Hmm."

Naruse couldn't help but shake his head, "Why did you suddenly have to be admitted to Tokyo University...... Let me find out for myself first. ”

Hikaru Takikawa looked at him and lowered his eyes.

"Anyway, the best must be the University of Tokyo."

"That's also the most laborious."

"Chunhai can do it." She continued, without nutritious encouragement, her mind still hooked on the same question as before.

Naruse didn't say much about this matter, and instead threw the question to her: "What about your own plans?" ”

She glanced at him.

Isn't there enough of the questions she is worried about right now?

"I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet."

"Then talk to me more." He smiled, "Maybe I can just like the light showed me the way, and suddenly find a path suitable for the light." ”

Hikaru Takikawa looked at him for a moment, and also smiled a little.

"Okay."

He was silent for a few more seconds, then suddenly shook his head, with some emotion: "That's not what I wanted to say. ”

"What."

Naruse looked at her, "I almost forgot, we were supposed to be best friends. ”

“……”

Hikaru Takikawa's breath stagnated.

"No matter what the choice of light is, this will not change, and I will still spare no effort to help you." He continued.

She already had a hunch, "What...... Choose? ”

He reached over and took her hand.

"This choice."

“……”

Her body tensed suddenly, but she slowly withdrew her hand.

Why can't you hold it tighter?

He couldn't answer the question she didn't ask, she pulled out her hand, and he didn't make any more moves, just looked at her.

"Is this Hikarao's answer now?"

“…… Be. ”

"I see."

He didn't say more, but Hikaru Takikawa couldn't stop thinking about it.

He said it paradoxically, and she refused quickly, but vaguely.

Can those words just now be regarded as confessions?

Did he really understand what she had just refused?

She clenched her palms.

She's fed up with this foggy state of seeing flowers.

"Can't Chunhai be a little more clear?"

Naruse looked over, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment.

"I'm just worried, and I'm going to make it too clear, and I won't come back tomorrow."

"Does Harumi want me to come over every day?"

"I'll be a little more relieved if I'm in front of me. After all, for the past two weeks or so, the state of the light has not been good. ”

She looked at him for a moment, then lowered her gaze.

"Tell me in words I can understand."

Naruse took a breath, turned around in his chair, faced her, and spoke again.

"I love light."

“……”

She closed her eyes.

"It's the love of love, and the same love as Naoko and Kazuha."

“……”

"So, I'm going to do the same."

“……”

"Let Hikari be my girlfriend too."

"I refuse."

The expected rejection appeared at the expected node, and Naruse breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Is it because of Naoko, or is it because of the incident itself?"

Hikaru Takikawa looked at him and didn't speak.

"Doesn't Hikari want everyone to be together all the time?"

She took a deep breath, "I'm talking about being a friend. ”

"Can't you be friends after that?"

She looked at him, her brow furrowed, "As long as we take that step, Naoko will never be able to treat us as friends again." ”

Naruse pursed her lower lip and didn't refute.

"Haven't you thought about it?"

He was silent for a few more seconds, but he still spoke: "What Shangzi really cares about has always been me. ”

“……”

"In other words, the ...... that can hurt her It's just me. ”

Hikaru Takikawa moved his lips and didn't speak for a long time.

"Light ......"

"-Even so, is Haruhi still going to hurt Naoko?"

He shook his head, "Harm is an inevitable result, it's not anyone's purpose, and I'm trying to find a way to reduce it." ”

"How?" She pressed again.

Naruse paused.

"Let her slowly realize that I like you."

“……”

Takikawa Hikaru's face distorted for a moment, and his body suddenly fell down, and his heart tightened in discomfort.

"Why is this happening...... That's the only way to ...... Since Chunhai can't do it and only like one person, why do you want to date Naoko? ”

"At that time, I didn't want Naoko to be uneasy anymore."

She looked up, her eyes flushed and moist.

"Does Haruhi bring Naoko less uneasiness now?"

“……”

Naruse pursed her lips and took another deep breath, allowing herself to struggle out of the pain in front of her.

"Not a lot. But now that I've taken this step, I can't turn back, otherwise it's not just Naoko who will be hurt, but also Yiha...... And the light.

Pain is inevitable, so I can only try to find a way to make everyone suffer less and create more happiness.

When we are together, there will be more happiness than pain in the end. ”

“……”

Hikaru Takikawa closed his eyes, shook his head slightly, and let the tears flow.

"Don't pull me up...... I won't let myself become Harumi's knife to hurt Naoko. ”

He grabbed her hand again, and she tried to break free, and this time he held it tighter than ever.

She couldn't break free.

After a few struggles, she stopped.

"Let go of me."

Naruse let go a little, and pulled her hand over again, placing it between his own.

"I don't want to hurt Hikari, and I don't want you to leave."

The two hands wrapped her hands up and down, and there was no strength, but she couldn't pull it out.

Wiping the bottom of his eyes with his other hand, Hikaru Takikawa stopped looking at him and turned his head to look out the window.

After a long silence, she spoke:

"Chunhai shouldn't come back here."

"Perhaps."

"If Chunhai doesn't come back, so many things won't happen. Naoko will go to Tokyo to find Harumi by herself in the future, and everyone who stays here will completely forget Harumi...... No one will be harmed. ”

"But I'm back."

“……”

"Even with all that has happened, I have never regretted seeing you again. Even though there is hurt and pain, there is still more laughter. ”

Hikaru Takikawa's eyes were closed, and his eyes were full of happiness with pain.

Naruse clenched her hand again.

"Speaking of which, it has been more than a year since I came back to see the first person I saw after I came back...... From now on, please advise. ”

The memories of a year ago are still vivid, she didn't speak, she didn't pull her hand.

It's a bit outrageous.,Yesterday when I was washing the cup, I shook the water twice.,My arm hurts.,It hurts and it hurts.,It's like your shoulder hurts.。。
