There was a night shift meeting before school.,It's already a little late.,Naruse and Naoko went to the handicraft club together.,I just didn't go upstairs.。

The second-year students all have to participate in the hike today, and the department is full of first-year members, and there are not many people coming over after school at this time, so Naoko said that everyone can go back early today.

When the members of the department were almost dispersed, Naoko confessed a few words and left.

"How are the contents of the cultural festival prepared?" When he went downstairs, Naruse asked.

"It's almost done."

"So busy every day?"

"Because there are still two or three weeks of time, there is still plenty of time, and everyone wants to continue to refine until it is impeccable." Naoko said, a slight smug on her face.

Naruse pinched her soft cheeks, "Don't just focus on refinement, you won't have enough time in the end, so you can only come up with an unfinished work." ”

"No, it won't."

Naoko squinted slightly, enjoying his touch.

"Every time we enter a new refinement phase, we first meet to discuss how much refinement is needed as a whole, and how long it will take. At a later stage, if it feels like time is running out, we stop. ”

"It's well organized."

"Uh-huh~"

The two went downstairs holding hands, and as soon as they arrived downstairs, Hikaru Takikawa came over to meet them.

“……”

Did you come to him?

Naruse guessed.

Looking at each other, she quickly looked away and looked at Naoko: "Are you going back?" ”

"yes."

"Then let's go together, the starfish is going back too."

"Okay."

Hikaru Takikawa turned around and walked in front.

Because of the late return, the starfish didn't have to go to the café to work today - I didn't have the energy to work part-time.

She waited at the carport, and when she saw the three people who came together, she didn't say anything.

Naruse went in to find her car, and as she walked past her Harafu, she looked at the vacant spot next to her.

"Kazuha went to the bookstore." Starfish said.

"I know."

Riding out of school, several people didn't delay on the road and went straight home.

Back at Aoyagi, Naruse slowed down, "See you tomorrow." ”

"Hmm." Hikaru Takikawa turned his head and rode into the path.

The same goodbye was quickly said to the starfish, and the three separated, and the starfish rode to the door of their hotel before stopping.

"I'm back." Seeing his daughter, Seiichiro Maki also came out of it, "How does it feel about hiking?" ”

"I'm tired...... starfish said weakly.

"Get some rest at night." Seiichiro picked up half a box of wine on the ground, "Dad went out to deliver a drink, and he will be back soon." ”

Starfish looked at it, "Where are you going to send it?" ”

"Sanno Restaurant over there in Soma."

"Are these these?"

"Hmm."

Starfish put down the schoolbag and took the wine box, "I'll deliver it." ”

"Huh?" Seiichiro was stunned, "Aren't the starfish very tired." ”

"It's alright."

She's just mentally exhausted.

Carrying the wine box to the motorcycle, the starfish shook it a little twice, making sure that it would not slide down, so he went through the wine delivery list, twisted the accelerator, and set off.

Seiichiro stood in the doorway and watched for a while, then retracted his gaze, and Naruse came over from the other side with Naoko.

"Mr. Seiichiro." He slowed down and said hello.

"Spring Sea ......"

"I'm going to buy groceries."

Seiichiro nodded, looked at the new motorcycle under his seat, and thought that it would be much more suitable for grocery shopping than the original one.

However, it is more suitable for the Starfish to pay for it.

At this time, the starfish was still on the way to Soma.

At five o'clock, the twilight on the horizon was already revealed, and the golden glow stained the clouds, which was dazzling.

She squinted, riding very carefully because she had wine on the cart.

After riding for a while, I came to the restaurant where I wanted to deliver wine, and Starfish stopped and pulled out the key and moved half a case of wine inside.

"Hello, the real wood hotel is here to deliver wine."

"Huh? Didn't Seiichiro say that he would deliver it himself? ”

Starfish put down the wine box, "I'm back, just let me deliver it." ”

"That's right."

After settling the bill and getting the empty boxes back, Starfish said goodbye to the shopkeeper, got on his scooter and went back the way he came.

With his back to the dazzling sunset, the way back was a lot easier.

Looking at his elongated shadow, Starfish raised his gaze, but there was not half of his companions in front of him or beside him.

“……”

Recently, everyone's relationship has become more and more strange.

It's just that when she tried to figure it out, she got either vague and inexplicable words, or wordless silence, and she was even more at a loss.

She always had the feeling that they were hiding something from her.

A pickup truck drove in front of him, and the starfish quickly came to his senses and rode to the side, carefully avoiding it.

The empty crate wasn't as easy to secure as before, so she adjusted slightly, picked up her speed again, and rode back.

As she was about to return to the hotel door, she saw Morimi riding from the other side of the prefectural road.

She rode a little further forward and stopped in front of the bookstore.

Morimi also stopped and looked at the wine box in front of her, "Went to deliver the wine?" ”

"Hmm."

"When did the starfish come back, why did you run out of wine so quickly?"

"It's close, it's on Soma's side, and it's only ten minutes to ride back and forth."

Morimi nodded and smiled at her again, "With a motorcycle, it's really a lot more convenient." ”

Starfish laughed too.

"Did Kazuha buy the book he wanted?"

"It's an exercise. There's also a discount for buying a few more copies, and I brought one for the starfish too. ”

“……”

"You're going to check it out for me when you're done."

"I don't want ......"

Morimi smiled again, "Just kidding." ”

Starfish puffed out their mouths.

Parking the motorcycle, Morimi asked again, "Do you want to come in and talk for a while?" ”

Starfish looked down at the wine box in front of him, "I'll go home first." ”

"Hmm."

After going home and parking the car, handing over the wine money to Dad, Starfish had just walked out for a while, when a horn sounded behind him.

She turned around, and Naruse rode up from behind, taking Naoko.

He didn't stop, just looked at her and nodded.

Naoko was carrying two bags of ingredients in her hand, and she couldn't spare her hand to greet her, and smiled at her.

Starfish waved their hands, and the two quickly rode over.

"It's ...... to ride a bicycle on such a small road"

She muttered and continued on, coming to the bookstore of the Morimi family.

Morimi was flipping through the exercises he had just bought, and handed her another one.

Starfish rolled over, looked at the contents, and almost passed out.

Look at the cover again, "Kyoto University Entrance Examination English for the Last Five Years...... Has Kazuha already started brushing this kind of topic? ”

She is no stranger to this kind of red book, and she often sees it in school, but it is usually in the third grade that she begins to brush this kind of topic.

"It's difficult, isn't it?"

"Well, let's do it first." Morimi took the exercise back, looked at the cover and exhaled, "Someone is already getting serious, and I don't want to be thrown too far." ”
