The two-hour class ended at the end of the afternoon and lasted for half an hour at five o'clock.

"People who don't normally attend evening classes can go back now."

Morimi explained to Naruse, "The half-hour break is also for us students who have evening classes to eat. Evening classes run from six to half-past nine, with only a few short five-minute breaks in between. ”

He nodded, in understanding, "Then let's go eat now." ”

"Where to eat?" She asked.

"Where do you usually go?"

"I usually stay in the classroom hungry so that my mind is clearer."

“……”

"Just kidding, come with me." Morimi smiled and got up to leave his seat.

Naruse followed her away, and before walking out of the classroom, he noticed that the lecturer above was staring at him, looking like he wanted to say something.

When the class was working, the lecturer would also come down to make rounds, and he had stayed next to him for a while, and he didn't know if he had seen anything.

Downstairs, Morimi took his hand, "Do you want to eat ramen or a set meal?" ”

"Let's set your meal."

"Let's go this way."

After crossing the street, a little walk will see a restaurant that serves set meals.

The store is not big, and the signboard outside is not obvious, so if Naruse came by himself, he probably wouldn't have noticed such a small shop.

The two of them sat down at the bar, and Morimi asked for a teriyaki set, and he looked at it and asked for a yakiniku set.

After sitting for a while, another student in another school uniform came in, ordered and smiled at Morimi.

She nodded and smiled in response, but did not invite the other to sit next to her.

"Someone you know?" Naruse asked in a low voice.

"I've only seen it in the study school." Morimi also replied in a low voice.

After waiting for a while, dinner for the two was delivered.

"That's a lot of barbecue."

"Well, share me a little."

Morimi took a piece of roast meat and gave him a piece of teriyaki beef, "Try it." ”

Naruse took a bite, "It tastes pretty good." ”

"yes." She smiled.

Both of them were a little hungry and buried themselves in eating for a while before continuing to communicate.

"How did you feel about taking a class?" Morimi asked.

"Not bad." Naruse swallowed the barbecue in his mouth, "The amount of knowledge acquired in one class is much higher than in school. ”

"It shows that you can keep up with the pace here. Do you want to sign up? ”

She looked at him, "If you want to take the entrance examination to the University of Tokyo, coming to the school will definitely have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort." ”

He pursed his lower lip and inhaled slowly.

"I'll think about it again."

"Do you want to wait until you get Naoko back?"

He didn't speak, just looked at her.

Morimi didn't say anything, and leaned on him.

"Ahem, ahem! ……”

There was a cough from a seat not far behind him.

"You're scaring your 'friend.'"

"Honor students also have to fall in love."

She closed her eyes, leaned against him for a moment, and then resumed her meal as if nothing had happened.

"What I said in the morning, I was also serious."

"What about renting a house here in the city?"

"Hmm. And I hope you will accompany me in that sentence. ”

Naruse lowered his head and took a bite of food, "Then everyone will be separated." ”

She paused for a moment, "This is also my selfishness. ”

“……”

He looked at her, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Hmm."

The two continued to eat and fill their stomachs before getting up and leaving.

"I'll go back first." As she left, she greeted the girl from before.

"Ah, okay."

Walking out of the restaurant, it was already dark before six o'clock in the season.

The lights on the road were already on, and the two of them held hands, craned their necks, walked in the cold wind for a while, and returned to the bottom of the building.

"Riding at night is really going to freeze to death."

Naruse looked at the coat she was wrapping in, "I won't be able to suffer this kind of cold for a few days." ”

"Yes." Morimi looked up at the dark sky, "The second snow of this winter should be coming soon." ”

Back in the study hall on the fourth floor, the two of them felt more comfortable with the warm air conditioning.

Before it was time for evening classes, Naruse and Morimi sat in a classroom with fewer people, chatting and waiting.

After a while, the previous lecturer also returned to the classroom, and when he saw them, he also came over.

"Naruse-san?"

“……”

The two glanced at each other, and Naruse looked at each other again, "Teacher." ”

"Sure enough, it's Naruse-san. In class just now, I watched your problem-solving process, and the quick solution is not like the idea that the 300 students in the grade can think of. ”

Naruse smiled, "I'm telling the truth. ”

The other party also laughed, "Naruse-saniti missed the exam due to illness, which is also something that can't be helped, but the real strength is still there." ”

You know it in such detail......

Naruse began to wonder if someone at the school was selling this kind of information.

"Which school is Naruse-san targeting?" The lecturer asked again.

"Todai."

"Sure enough!" He was visibly excited, "How did Naruse-san feel after coming to our school this time?" ”

"It's not bad, it's a lot more than the lessons in school."

He almost burst out laughing, and pressed again, "If Naruse-san comes to us to sign up now, at least seventy percent of the fee will be waived." ”

Morimi glanced at him.

"I don't have any plans to do that just yet." Naruse said.

"Huh? Let's think about it again......"

"When I get to the third grade, I'll go to school in Tokyo."

“……”

The lecturer opened his mouth, and finally could only sigh, "Okay." ”

If he can't make an impact on Tokyo University in their study school, then no matter how good his grades are, he won't be too attractive.

After a few more conversations, the teacher regretfully returned to the podium.

"Lies come when you open your mouth." Morimi said.

"Lying properly can save you a lot of trouble."

"You're getting more and more proficient."

He smiled and looked out the window.

The night was dark, and his shadow was reflected in the glass.

At six o'clock, the evening class of the study school began.

In the evening, there are few people, and the content of the course is mainly based on doing questions and explaining the topics.

Doing quite challenging topics, listening to the explanations of different ideas that occasionally make people shine, Naruse is also very engaged, and before he knows it, it is time for school to end.

"I feel like I'm a little more engaged in learning with you." Morimi said as he packed his things.

"I feel that way, too."

She looked over, and the thought in her eyes spoke for itself.

He smiled, "Let's talk about it." ”

After packing up their things, the two of them said goodbye to the lecturer on the podium, and went downstairs to prepare to go back.

As soon as they walked out of the building, the cold wind poured into their bodies, and both of them shivered.

"Are you hungry?" Morimi suddenly asked.

Naruse rubbed the back of his palm, "A little." ”

"Come over here."

She dragged him to the bakery under the building and bought two pieces of steaming bread.

"Let's go back after eating."

"Hmm."

Naruse took a bite of the bread and held it in both hands, "It's so fluffy." ”

"You can buy more and go back for breakfast." Morimi leaned against him and said, stomping his feet back and forth, "It's so cold!" I'll freeze to death on the road later. ”

"It's cold, it's cold, and I'll be home soon."

She sighed and continued to nibble on her bread.

The other students of the study school were also leaving one after another, some walking back, and some were picked up by their parents by car, and Naruse watched for a long time, but did not find a second person riding a motorcycle.

"There are more third-graders in evening classes." Morimi said.

"Hmm."

"In two months, it's time for the common exam."

Taking a bite of the hot bread, she opened her mouth slightly, tilting her head and exhaling a cloud of white mist.

"It's a surprise, I'm not as anxious as I was last year."

Naruse looked at her, "It's useless to be anxious, it's better to be down-to-earth." ”

She smiled briefly, and then looked at the sky for a moment.

After eating the bread, the two of them got on their motorcycles and prepared to go back.

"Won't you be too cold?" Morimi hugged him tightly, "Give you my coat, I'll hide behind you anyway." ”

"No, you don't."

Naruse put on his helmet and rubbed his hands together, "Sit tight." ”

"Hmm." She hugged her tighter.

Plunging headlong into the cold wind and darkness, Naruse didn't ride too fast, and it took more than twenty minutes to get home.

And he was the only one who got home, and Morimi had to ride back in his own car.

"I'll take you home."

"You're not too troublesome."

"Hmm."

Sent Morimi home again, and the two made out a little in the hallway.

"Do you want to do it?"

"It's too cold."

"Then you come and do it with me for a day on the weekend."

"I'm going to Takayama City on the weekend."

“……”

She bit his lip a little harder, and her gaze turned to his face again.

"Be careful on the road."
