Walking into the kitchen and seeing Naoko who was busy with his back to him, Naruse was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was dreaming.

But even if it was a dream, he cherished it immensely.

"Naoko."

He wanted to see her again.

"Spring Sea." She heard it, but tilted her head slightly.

He tried to walk over, but his feet seemed to be rooted in place, and he couldn't move.

He thumped his legs hard, but his body still refused to obey.

- Naoko is about to disappear.

This feeling suddenly appeared in his heart, and any premonition in the dream would soon become the reality of the dream, and he couldn't help but shout:

"Naoko!"

When she finally turned around, his feet suddenly emptied, and his whole body fell endlessly.

Thump.

“……”

Sitting on the floor with his upper body still on the edge of the bed, Naruse also woke up from the fall.

There was only darkness left in front of him.

Most of the quilt was dragged down, and he was stunned for a moment, laughing silently at his embarrassment, but in a blink of an eye, his face became distorted.

"Naoko ......"

He wanted to see her.

I really want to see her.

I climbed back into bed and picked up my phone, and it was just over three o'clock in the morning.

He rummaged through the photos of Naoko, but could only find the ones taken during the summer vacation, and couldn't find more.

He quickly remembered that he had changed the phone at that time, and the original photos were all left in the old phone that was broken.

“……”

Naruse got up again and searched around the room.

The phone was just a broken screen, and Naoko felt that it was a pity to lose it, so he brought it back at the time, and at that time he had already replaced it with a new phone, so he left it alone, let alone repaired it.

"Where did I put it......"

After searching in his room for a while, he couldn't find it.

He couldn't go back to sleep like this, so he put on his clothes and went downstairs, and searched the living room and study for a while, but there was still no sign of the old phone.

"Where the hell did you put it......

Slumped on the sofa, Naruse carefully thought about what happened after returning from the trip, and searched all the corners of his memory, but he couldn't find this little thing that seemed insignificant at the time.

He doesn't care, but ask his girlfriend and he will get the answer right away.

"Naoko ......"

In the living room at half past three, the only thing that responded to him was the silence and coldness of the early morning.

Naruse lay down on the couch.

Back in the upstairs room, it was almost four o'clock.

When he slept until he was woken up by the alarm clock, Naruse got up and dressed, went downstairs to wash, and prepared breakfast.

No one came this morning, so he prepared breakfast for one person and a bento for another, and before going out, he searched around the house again.

In the end, he inexplicably found the old mobile phone at the bedside of Song Qianqiu's bedroom, and he picked it up and looked at it for a while.

I tried to turn it on, but it didn't respond as a matter of course, the phone was out of battery for a long time, and the screen was so broken that even if I could turn it on, I couldn't see anything clearly.

Naruse put away his phone and prepared to take it for a new screen.

Going out to school, Hikaru Takikawa took a starfish and waited for him at the intersection.

"Good morning, Harumi."

"Good morning."

Seeing that Morimi hadn't come over yet, and the two of them were riding in a car, a guess suddenly popped up in Naruse's heart.

Naruse: Are you waiting for me to pick you up?

Kazuha: Do you just remember it now?

“…… I'll pick up Morimi. ”

"Huh...... Let's go with us, go straight to school from there. ”

So the two cars rode to Morimi's house.

When I got to the yard of her house, she was already waiting at the door.

"I don't think I said I was going to pick you up yesterday." Naruse said after waiting for her to get into the car.

She leaned forward, "I thought we had a tacit understanding to the point where we didn't need to speak. ”

"So guess what I'm thinking right now."

"What a troublesome woman."

He just laughed when she grabbed him by the waist.

"Have you eaten breakfast?"

"Eat."

"Let's go, then."

Naruse twisted the throttle, crossed the Kamiaoyanagi Bridge, and rode the other way to the school.

When he arrived at the school gate and put his girlfriend down, it was still early, and he rode around the neighborhood, but unfortunately he didn't find any mobile phone repair shops.

When he returned to school and parked his car on his way to the classroom, he opened the map and found that the nearest shop that provided mobile phone repair service was still at Tsumae Station, and that shop would not open until 1 p.m.

"It's a laid-back ......"

He could only go there in the afternoon after school.

When he came to the classroom, Morimi asked where he was, and when he learned that he was going to fix his mobile phone, he only raised his eyebrows and didn't say much.

Classes are held as usual during the day, and time passes neither slowly nor quickly.

After school, Naruse sent Morimi to the school, agreed to pick him up in the evening, and then went to the repair shop.

After looking for a while, he found the store near Tsumae Station, so he stopped and walked into the store to take a look.

It seems that all electronic devices are repaired here, and there are several mobile phones and laptops on the shelves, and when he saw the shopkeeper sitting at the counter, Naruse took out his old mobile phone and asked.

"It can be repaired...... But your screen is a little broken, and the inner screen is broken, and it will take a lot of time. ”

Naruse thought that the so-called "a lot of time" was either ten days or half a month, but the owner said it was four or five hours.

"In other words, it can be fixed today?"

"If there are no other problems."

And this store opens late during the day, and it is not early to rest at night, and it is open until eleven o'clock in the evening, and he can get his repaired phone back tonight.

"Then I'll come over at about ten o'clock in the evening."

"No problem."

Leaving the repair shop, Naruse thought about it and rode to the school again.

It's only past three o'clock, and he has nothing to do until he comes to pick up his phone and pick up Morimi home in the evening, so he plans to go to the café outside the school and wait.

And when he got there, Naruse found out that Hikaru Takikawa was also there, and the starfish was also working in the store today.

He ordered a cup of coffee, a casual dessert, and sat down across from Hikaru Takikawa.

"How's it going?" She asked.

"It can be fixed today."

"So fast?"

"Well, listen to that person, if it weren't for the inner screen being broken, it would have been faster."

Hikaru Takikawa nodded, and suddenly asked, "Are you going upstairs?" ”

"Everything."

"Then let's go up, there is basically no one on the second floor."

She held her own half cup of coffee, and Naruse followed her upstairs, and did not forget to remind the starfish.

"Got it......"

She kept an eye on him, and even if he didn't say anything, she knew where to send the coffee.

The first floor was not full, and the second floor was really not crowded, so the two found a place by the window and sat down opposite each other.

"Do you want to come to pick up a leaf in the evening?"

"Hmm." He nodded, and then said, "I don't want to ride a bike and get cold, so I won't go back, just wait here until she gets out of class and then go home." ”

She leaned down on the table, reached over and held his hand, "Then I'll stay with Chunhai too." ”

"Where's the starfish?"

"She'll be happy too."

After a while, starfish came up with coffee.

Hikaru Takikawa told her about her plans, and she looked at Naruse and immediately agreed.

"What time is the café open at night?"

"Usually it closes at around 10 o'clock, but in winter, it closes at 9 o'clock at the latest."

"Shall we go to karaoke and sing?" Hikaru Takikawa proposed, "Sing until nine o'clock, go pick up a leaf, and go get Harumi's mobile phone by the way." ”

"Oh, yes."

Naruse didn't object, he waited wherever he wanted, even if he wasn't interested in singing, he could listen to them sing.

The starfish stayed on it for a while and then went down, and after a while, brought his cake again.

He let her taste a few bites as well.

We sat at the café until about half past five, and when the starfish finished their part-time job, the three of them went to the study school, had dinner with Morimi, and then went to karaoke.

"Pick four hours."

"Hmm."

Sitting down in the private room, the two pushed and conceded, and Hikaru Takikawa was the first to pick up the microphone.

The prelude sounded, and Naruse looked at the projection screen, and then turned his head to look at the starfish beside him.

"Does the starfish have something to say to me?"

She bit her lip.

“…… I'm sorry. ”

It's the last day of November, ask for a monthly pass
