Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 128

buzz-

Accompanied by the vibration, the mobile phone alarm clock rang for the fourth time, and was turned off by Hai Xing with his eyes closed for the fourth time.

Before the fifth time, her door was knocked first.

Boom boom boom!
Seiichiro Maki outside the door said anxiously, "Starfish—why haven't you woken up yet!"

"Well, it's so noisy..."

She closed her eyes tightly, burrowed deep into the warm bed, and pulled the quilt to cover her ears.

There was still a sound coming in.

Not Dad, but the voice of another man who meant so much to her.

"It's okay, Mr. Seiichiro, let Haixing continue to sleep. When she wakes up, tell her that we are leaving first, and we will definitely bring her with me next year."

"..."

His voice was undisguised, or he deliberately raised the volume. Hai Xing opened his eyes and woke up instantly.

Departure... next year...

She's leaving for a hot spring trip today!
"Ahhh-"

She hurriedly climbed out of bed, not even thinking about putting on her slippers, and rushed to the door.

"Wait a minute! I'm up!"

Hastily opened the door, Naruse and Seiichiro stood outside, looking at her helplessly.

"Guess what time it is now."

"I'm sorry...I'll get up right away..."

Seiichiro turned and went downstairs, Naruse glanced at the pajamas on her, and then looked away.

"Hurry up and change your clothes, we'll wait for you downstairs."

"it is good."

Before going downstairs, he threatened again: "If it takes more than 5 minutes, we will leave first."

“I’ll be right soon!”

How sleepy the starfish was 1 minute ago, how awake it is now.

After closing the door, she took the time to change clothes, and then went downstairs with her luggage to wash up.

"No time for makeup..."

She didn't have time to put on contact lenses, so she could only wear those black-rimmed glasses first.

When she came out of the bathroom, Naruse had already picked up her things, and Hikari Takikawa was waiting at the door.

"Quick, Starfish, the bus is coming."

Saying goodbye to Seiichiro Maki in a hurry, the three of them ran to the bus platform, where Naoko, Morimi, and Takikawa Tsuki were waiting for them.

Starfish turned her head while running, afraid that the bus would appear behind her in the next second.

"..."

The bus is here!
"The car is coming!"

"Hurry up." Takigawa Hikaru grabbed her hand and dragged her forward.

With something in his hand, Naruse ran faster than them, "Don't worry, I can catch up."

The three of them kept walking, but were quickly overtaken by the bus.

And the bus stopped at the platform ahead, Shangzi got on the bus first, and the bus has been waiting there since then.

"what……"

When he arrived at the platform, Hai Xing had no time to stop to catch his breath, and was pushed into the car by Morimi.

Naruse, who stayed at the end, also got on the bus. The driver looked at the rearview mirror, and the bus finally started.

Morimi took the seat next to Naoko, Naruse panted heavily, and sat down next to Haixing who was also panting.

"Chunhai..."

Shangzi looked back at him.

"It's okay." Naruse took a few deep breaths, and his breathing gradually calmed down, "Just take a rest."

Looking at the starfish next to it, it was in a state of dying.

She supported the back of Shangzi's seat, closed her eyes for a long time and did not recover, Takikawa Yue gently stroked her back in the back seat.

"Didn't you say yesterday that you will be able to wake up in the morning?" Mori Jian also turned to look at her.

"Woo...the alarm clock didn't go off...it doesn't seem to go off."

She raised her eyebrows without poking them, and glanced at Naruse who was sitting beside her.

"I told you to go over earlier."

Naruse leaned on the back of the chair, "It was obviously Morimi who said to wait another 10 minutes."

"Really, I don't remember." She turned back again.

Hikaru Takikawa leaned forward from the back seat, "Is Starfish feeling better?"

She nodded, still feeling a little uncomfortable and didn't want to talk much.

Seeing this, Naruse reached out and patted her lightly on the upper part of her lower back.

"Do you want some water?"

Starfish nodded.

Naoko handed a bottle of water to the back, Naruse opened it, and handed it to her.

The first day of hot spring travel starts with a hectic morning.

The bus shook, and after more than 20 minutes, Naruse and his party were dropped off near the central station.

Several people will get on the train here and rush to Aomori, where they will take the Shinkansen to Sendai.

There was still some time before the tram arrived, and Shangzi looked at Haixing's condition, "Haixing didn't eat breakfast."

"Well... I don't have time to eat, so I came to catch the car as soon as I got up."

Naruse put down his luggage and walked away.

When he came back, he had two sandwiches in his hand.

"Just a moment."

"Thank you..." Hai Xing took the sandwich and ate it.

After taking a few bites, she looked at the people who were looking at her, "Have you all eaten?"

"Ah."

Shangzi woke up very early today, Naruse had breakfast at home as usual before leaving the house, and so did the other three.

After waiting for a while, the tram finally pulled into the station.

The carriage was empty, and several people were still sitting together.

Hai Xing hugged her bag, hesitating whether to use this time to put on light makeup.

"It used to take more than half an hour. Of course you have time if you want to put on makeup."

Mori saw sitting next to her, looking at the delicate skin on her face, "Although I don't think it's necessary."

Naruse also looked over, his eyes stayed on her face for a while, but he didn't say anything.

"Starfish looks good without makeup."

Hikari Takikawa had no scruples, and was more straightforward, "I prefer the way starfish usually looks."

Shang Zi also nodded in agreement.

"Makeup is not very good for the skin." Takikawa Tsuki said.

After several people talked about it, Hai Xing gave up the idea of ​​makeup, but the topic of makeup started to chat.

Shangzi and Morimi basically do not wear makeup, except for some special days, such as cultural festivals or when participating in activities with many outsiders;
The same is true for the honor student Takikawa Tsuki who is the top student in the third grade, while his younger sister Takikawa Hikari never wears makeup.

"It's a little troublesome...and I'm in the sports department, and everyone doesn't have the habit of putting on makeup."

Therefore, Haixing is the one who puts on makeup most frequently, and her makeup skills are also the best among them, whether it is for herself or for others.

"Where's Harumi?" Takikawa Hikari asked suddenly.

"……what are you talking about."

Hai Xing also looked over, "Do the female high school students in Tokyo wear makeup every day?"

"No." Naruse shook his head, "At least in the private school I read before, there was no makeup at all."

"Really?"

Hai Xing was a little skeptical, "I don't think that's what the magazine said...or did you actually put on makeup, but you didn't see it?"

Naruse was silent for a while, not as confident as before.

After all, he didn't stare at any girl carefully at that time.

"It's true." Shangzi said suddenly, "The private high school that Chunhai attended is a prestigious school, and the school rules are relatively strict. Girls are not allowed to wear make-up."

Hai Xing was stunned: "Hey, that's it..."

"Is that right?"

Naruse himself didn't even know that the original school still had this school rule.

"there is."

Shangzi smiled at him, "I did a little research before, but Haruhi may not have noticed, after all, this is what girls pay attention to."

"I see."

Mori pushed his glasses and glanced at the two of them.

Whether it is the investigation or the party being investigated, it is too natural, right?

The tram stopped and went, and after a few stops, there were slightly more passengers in the carriage.

"They're all going to Aomori."

"If you want to take the Shinkansen, you can only go there."

Half an hour after the tram departed, it finally arrived at Shin-Aomori Station.Naruse and his party will also change trains here and get on the Shinkansen bound for Sendai.
