December 25 is Christmas Day, which is also the end of the second semester in most schools, including Tsu High School.

When she woke up in the morning, Naoko noticed that it was exceptionally bright outside the window.

Rubbing her eyes, she was not too surprised, as early as a few days ago, in the weather forecast, she knew that today would be a rare sunny day.

It's still cold, though.

Turning over, Naoko hugged her boyfriend, but first touched the hand of another person on his chest.

“……”

She lifted the quilt slightly, looked at the starfish lying on the other side, and slowly lowered it again.

This damn girl......

They all said that they could stay at his house, but they couldn't go to her bed, and they still followed her last night with a dead face.

She could already have a premonition that Ichiha and Light would also break this tacit understanding in the future.

Through her boyfriend's chest, she was next to him, stretched out her arms again, groped for the starfish's face in the bed, and pinched it.

"Hmm......"

The starfish, still asleep, snorted twice, twisted her head, broke away from her hand, and soon stopped moving.

Naoko didn't pinch it anymore, pulled her hand off his chest, hugged him alone, and lay down for a while.

Consciousness was awake, and she couldn't sleep.

There was only the occasional sound of the air conditioner running in the room, and it was even quieter underneath, and the two people sleeping downstairs should not have gotten up.

Last night was Christmas Eve, and all three stayed here for the night.

The five of them had a small Christmas party, tossed and turned until midnight, and only went back to their rooms to sleep after Christmas.

And the starfish ran up at that time, and she had some suspicions that it was a leaf pout.

Just as she was thinking about it, her boyfriend suddenly turned over and hugged her tightly.

"Spring Sea ......"

He wasn't awake, and the strength of the hug was not restrained, and he felt like he wanted to rub her completely into his chest.

And with a soft call, he opened his eyes, and his hand unconsciously loosened.

"Good morning......

Naoko looked up and took a bite on his chin, "Good morning." ”

He touched her back, adjusted his position, squinted out the window again, and quickly closed it.

"It's so bright outside......"

"It's clear."

"Ah, yes......"

"It's almost eight o'clock."

“……”

He opened his eyes and looked at her again, a little helpless.

"The alarm clock didn't go off."

Naoko rubbed his chest, "Hasn't Harumi woken up yet?" ”

He closed his eyes and hugged her, "Well, I still want to sleep." ”

"I can't sleep."

“……”

He opened his eyes, looked at her, and then touched his phone on the bedside to look at it, and it was still more than twenty minutes before the first alarm clock of the morning rang.

"It's early."

"I'm sober."

"Okay." Naruse yawned, "Then I'll get up too......"

He suddenly felt something, turned his head to look, lifted the quilt, "Starfish ......"

"Chunhai let her in by herself last night, did you forget?"

“……”

He knew why she couldn't sleep.

"Sorry......"

Naruse sighed, "I saw her shivering in pajamas last night, it was so pitiful, so I let her in." ”

Naoko lowered her head and didn't speak.

"Just this once." "There won't be a next time," he added. ”

"Really?"

"Hmm."

"Can Chunhai guarantee it?"

He stroked her back, "I promise." ”

She hugged him tighter, "Harumi promised me before. ”

"Hmm." Naruse lowered her head and kissed her forehead, "Let's sleep a little longer?" ”

"Can Chunhai still sleep?"

He looked out the window, tossing and turning, and his consciousness was almost completely awake.

He couldn't sleep, but he wanted to keep lying down until the alarm went off.

"Up then?"

"It's still early." Naoko said, suddenly letting go of him.

“……”

Naruse quickly noticed more of her movements.

"What about the true spirit......

Naoko's muffled words came from the bed, and then, she didn't have time to speak

Naruse lay on her back, feeling her warmth.

After a while, Naoko lifted the quilt and sat down.

Naruse took a deep breath and suppressed his impulse,

She leaned down, "Safe period." ”

"If you always take risks like this, sooner or later you'll get hit...... Not! ”

She took a bite, then let go, the tip of her tongue swirling around the tooth marks.

"Then I will give birth to the child, so that there should be no one else coming up to the bed of our family of three."

"Naoko ......"

With one hand on her waist that began to shake, Naruse stretched out her arm again, opened the bedside table, and finally pulled out a condom.

"Don't move yet...... Wait a minute......"

The starfish, whose face had been crushed by the lifted quilt, also woke up from the shaking of the bed under him.

“……”

She closed her eyes again and pretended she was still asleep.

But the movement around him never stopped.

The starfish quietly opened her eyes again, the quilt pressed against her face, and she couldn't see anything.

She didn't dare to raise her hand, so she rubbed her face slowly, and finally squeezed out a gap, and what fell in front of her was Naoko's hand propped up on the pillow.

Sometimes clenched into a fist, sometimes clenched the pillow, and the five fingers did not relax.

Until the alarm clock suddenly sounded, the movement outside the quilt stopped slightly, and then it became more intense.

“……”

When passively becoming an observer, the starfish realized for the first time that those heavy collisions could make such a loud noise.

Naoko's voice also became high-pitched, whimpering, as if crying.

After a period of intense fighting, the bed finally stopped shaking, and only the heavy breathing of the two was left.

Naoko fell on the pillow again, half of her cheek could be seen through the gap in the quilt, and the starfish quickly closed her eyes.

"It's time to get up." It's his voice.

"Hmm...... I want to lie down a little longer. Naoko's voice.

"Okay, I'll get up first...... I'll give you a rub. ”

"Good~"

This was followed by some subtle movements.

The bed shook again, and it was he who got up.

"It's the last time I've been wearing a uniform this year."

"yes."

"The weather is so nice today, I want to take some clothes out and dry them."

"Even though it's sun, it's still very windy."

"I don't know ......"

"Let's see, come back early after the graduation ceremony, and be able to dry for a while. The quilt should also be dried. ”

"Uh-huh."

"I'll go down and prepare breakfast."

"Okay."

The door opened, clicked, and closed.

Listening to the sound of his footsteps going downstairs, Starfish was still thinking about when Naoko would lie down and get up, and the quilt on his head was suddenly lifted.

“……”

Looking at each other, Naoko smiled at her, "Good morning, starfish." ”

“…… Good morning. ”

"Sorry, I lifted the quilt to the starfish."

She tugged at the quilt and shrunk back into the quilt, towards her side.

"No...... It's okay. ”

"Woke up the starfish?"

"No......"

She looked at her and smiled.

“……”

Starfish blushed, "I just woke up, too." ”

"Yes."

Naoko smiled again, and continued, "The alarm clock has gone off, and it's almost time for me to get up." Starfish can sleep a little longer, and breakfast will wake you up. ”

"Good ......"

The two didn't say anything, and Naoko lay down for another two or three minutes, crawling out of the bed naked.

And after she got out of bed, she turned around again, bent down and pulled the quilt, and the white flowers and heavy parts shook so that the starfish couldn't take her eyes off.

“……”

In particular, there is a little scratch mark on it.

After pulling up the quilt, Naoko smiled at her and went to get dressed.

When she got downstairs, Starfish sat up and rubbed her eyes.

She couldn't sleep either.

After sitting for a while, Starfish got up and got out of bed, trying to find clothes, only to find that the clothes they had changed last night had been left in the downstairs room.

Someone must have brought her clothes......

She lay back under the covers.

After another twenty minutes, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs.

Starfish put down her phone, subconsciously closed her eyes again, listened to the footsteps and walked into the room, came to the bedside, stopped at the head of the bed, and then was completely silent.

“……”

What's the situation?

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement beside him, and the starfish couldn't help but slowly open his eyes.

“……”

Morimi stood by the bed, looking down at her.

"Ahh Didn't Naoko strangle you last night? ”

“…… Nope. ”

"She's so kind."

“……”

Seeing the clothes she was holding in her hand, Starfish also sat up, "Thank you." ”

Seeing her get dressed, Morimi suddenly sniffled again, then walked over to the trash can to take a look.

"Sure enough......"

Starfish didn't have to ask to know what she guessed.

"Starfish just came up and slept last night, right?"

"Huh? Hmmm......"

Morimi didn't say much, pointed to the window and the air conditioner, and then went down.

"Come down early, breakfast is almost ready."

"Good ......"

When the starfish turned off the air conditioner and opened the window, went downstairs to wash up and came out, several people were already sitting at the dining table.

Passing by the living room and looking at the traces of last night's Christmas party, she went over and sat down.

"Good morning, starfish." Hikaru Takikawa greeted.

"Good morning."

A few people ate breakfast, and the conversation went from last night's Christmas party, to this morning's graduation ceremony, to the Christmas party at school in the evening, and a short trip from tomorrow.

"From a place where you can only see snow to another where you can only see snow, you really know how to choose."

"Who said there is only snow in Hokkaido, and there is ...... Snow-capped mountains. ”

"You go to the window and have a look."

"Look at what."

"Our own snow-capped mountain in Tsumae."

“…… It's only a few days before the New Year, and you can't have fun anywhere else, so let's go to Hokkaido. ”

"Hmm. So after today's graduation ceremony, don't go singing and celebrating, and come back early, you haven't packed your things yet. ”

"Didn't you attend the Christmas party at school today?"

"If you don't bother with it, you can come back in the evening."

"Chunhai come with me."

"I'm troublesome."

"Eh~"

After breakfast, several people went out together.

When passing by the intersection of Takigawa's house, Naruse remembered something and asked, "Sister Tsuki has returned from school?" ”

"Well, I just came back the afternoon before yesterday."

"Is Sister Yue going to travel with us?" Morimi asked.

After a brief silence, Hikaru Takikawa smiled.

"Still not."

When I came to the bus stop, I didn't wait for a while, and the bus came.

Today it was thoroughly clear, the sky was blue, and there were almost no clouds in the sky. The morning sun is still very young, and there is no warmth on the face, but it is still dazzling.

Morimi turned his head and looked at Naruse who was squinting in the morning sun, looking like he hadn't woken up, and suddenly wanted to laugh.

Turning her head again, she looked at Hikaru Takikawa next to her and asked, "Sister Yue also knows about us?" ”

"It's strange if I don't know." Hikaru Takikawa withdrew his gaze from the window, "When Naoko left before, Tsuki knew about it from her parents. ”

"No wonder when Naoko reused her previous account some time ago, Sister Yue quit the group without saying a word." Morimi said.

She smiled, "Frightened." ”

Morimi smiled too, and after a while asked again, "What about her attitude?" ”

Takigawa Mitsuki looked over, "Kazuha thinks, why didn't Yue come over to the Christmas party last night?" ”

"I'm afraid of being pushed down by him."

“バカ。” She bumped her shoulder, "She said she didn't know what to do with us now. ”

Morimi took a slow breath, "If Sister Yue doesn't jump out to object, it's already a good thing." ”

"yes."

Both looked out the window again.

The bus crosses the snowfields dazzling in the morning sun and comes to the city, stopping in front of Tsugaraka.

When I came to school, I didn't have to go to class today, and everyone was very relaxed and excited.

"Naruse, you're going to come to the party at night, right?"

"I'll come and see, it's hard to say how long I can stay."

"Eh, why are you going back so early, stay a little longer, there's a performance from our Class A."

"Will there be a class show for this year's Christmas party?"

"You really don't pay any attention to these things...... But also, you're going to study at the school now. All in all, this year's Christmas party won't disappoint. ”

In the chat, the time passed slowly, and the teacher came to the classroom and explained some things that need to be paid attention to during the winter vacation as usual.

When the school announcement sounded, all the students came to the gymnasium together to participate in the graduation ceremony.

“…… Today is a rare sunny day in the wind and snow, and I hope that everyone's life during the winter vacation can be like today's weather, no wind and no snow, sunny and bright.

However, even if you encounter a snowstorm, you don't have to be afraid, there will always be a sunny day after the snowstorm, which is an objective law of nature;

We live in the visible land of Aomori and in the invisible community called society, and learning to ask for help is just as important as reaching out when others need help. ”

After speaking, Mr. Principal bowed slightly and ended his last speech on the stage of the semester.

Naruse clapped his hands, and Morimi applauded.

"So you're listening."

"Hmm."

"That's a good point."

"yes."

After the graduation ceremony and back in the classroom, Yanagisawa picked up on the previous topic for a while, and then launched the report card.

"The next one is...... Morimi. ”

Morimi got up, came to the podium, took the report card from the teacher's hand, opened it directly, and his eyes fell on the ranking in the lower right corner.

Academic Year Order: 2nd place.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

hasn't been surpassed by Naoko......

Back below, Naruse looked at her: "Second? ”

"Hmm."

She looked at the report card that had been taken down from his desk, "We're getting closer. ”

"Well, it's going to get closer. Do you want to try to go with me to the University of Tokyo? ”

"No, it's not a question of whether you can get in."

"You like Kyoto so much?"

"Second only to you."

Naruse grinned.

"In those four years of college, we broke up."

"Come to me once a week, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Do you pay for the transportation?"

"Of course, it's Young Master Chunhai who came out."

When the two talked in a low voice, Yanagisawa also finished sending the report card, and finally confessed two sentences, and then announced the end of school.

"Oh yes, there's a Christmas party at the gymnasium this evening, and interested students can go and see it. However, you should also pay attention to the time of return......"

It's easy for a teacher's advice to turn into nagging that no one cares about.

Naruse and Morimi didn't need to pack anything, so they put their report cards in their school bags and stayed in their seats to wait for the other three.

Starfish came over with a smile on their faces.

"All passed."

"Starfish should be pursuing a little higher now."

"Huh?"

"Let's start in the top 100 of our grade."

"Don't ......"

According to the previous plan, after the graduation ceremony, several people left the school directly and went home to pack their things.

"I only went out for three days, and I didn't need to bring much clothes...... It's also more convenient to bring less. ”

"I've got all the essentials with me."

"I can't fit a single box."

Naruse and Naoko didn't pack up for too long, and in the afternoon, the two stayed at home, waiting for Hikaru Takikawa and Starfish to come over again, and the four of them went to school together for a Christmas party.

"I feel like today's Christmas party will be very interesting, it's a shame not to come."

She said she was too lazy to run. Actually, I'm too lazy to ......."

"Nope."

"What time is it in the evening?"

"It won't be too late."

This year's Christmas party was a little later than last year, starting at 4 p.m. and ending at the same time, shortening the overall time by an hour, but judging from the content of the posters in the stadium, the content of the event was much richer than last year.

"With that president here, it's only natural that he's better than last year." Naruse said.

"Nope." Hikaru Takikawa shook his head, "I heard from the student council that this year's Christmas party organized activities, and Yoshioka-senpai basically didn't participate in it." ”

"It seems that the next generation of students has grown up." Naoko smiled, as if she felt a sense of relief.

Hikaru Takikawa smiled at her, "You can't always rely on your seniors." ”

At four o'clock in the afternoon, between the lights and dims, there was a burst of cheers in the gymnasium, and the Christmas party officially began.
