Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 190 Digging for Hobbies
At 07:30 in the evening, Morimi Kohonten.

Lifting his eyes from the notebook, Morimi pushed his glasses and looked outside.

At this time of the season, it is already late at night for the countryside, and there are basically no guests coming to the door.

It’s just that there are accidents occasionally, and her bookstore usually closes at around nine o’clock. In order to prevent regular customers who accidentally come to the door from making a wasteful trip, Mori Jianshu confessed that it would be open until around eight o’clock at night before going out.

Looking back, she found that Takikawa Hikaru was looking at her.

"It's done?"

"Well, help me take a look."

Senjian took the notebook and looked at it twice, "Well, it's all right."

"Great--"

Hikaru Takikawa raised his arms and stretched.

"Although I don't quite understand it, I just put in a few formulas and made it in a daze."

"..."

Sen Jian was startled, and then felt a little helpless.

"Confused, what's the point of that?"

Hikaru Takikawa lowered his arms and squeezed towards her, "It would be great if it could be done."

"If you don't figure it out, you won't be able to solve this kind of problem next time."

Senjian thought for a while, picked up a pen and started writing in the notebook.

"I won't talk about the next time. If the conditions of the topic are changed a little, like this... can I still do it?"

She pushed the notebook over, Takigawa stared at it for a while, then looked up and smiled.

"Hey, no."

"..."

Mori sighed.

"Let me say it again."

After explaining it again, she asked Takikawa Hikaru to do two more questions to make sure that she didn't "do not understand, but did it in a daze", and then it was over.

Looking at the time again, it was already a few minutes after eight o'clock.

"Is it going to close?"

"Ah."

"Let me do it."

After being bored for a long time, Hikaru Takikawa was very active in things other than studying, so he got up and left the counter.

Morimi came out, "The hook is..."

Takikawa raised his arms and stood on tiptoe, grabbed the shutter door and pulled it down, looking back at her, "What?"

"It's okay." Morimi shook his head and unplugged the light board outside.

The rolling shutter door fell to the ground, because several people had to go back later, it was not locked for the time being.

"Go inside."

"Ah."

The two packed up the books and notes on the table and chatted during the short study break.

"Sister Yue doesn't go to school very much recently, she is probably preparing for the entrance exam of Northeastern University."

"Yes."

"Sister Yue's grades in the common exam are so good, and the entrance exam should be sure."

Mori Jian couldn't hide his admiration, "As expected of the Jin Gao scholar who has been ranked first in the grade for three years."

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, then sighed lightly, feeling lost.

Senjian could vaguely understand her melancholy, but not completely, and didn't want to say anything more.

"Well, what is this?" Hikari Takikawa suddenly noticed a piece of paper under the notebook.

"This..." Sen Jian opened her mouth, and she had already picked up the piece of paper.

"'Reading', 'Music', 'Painting', 'Cooking'... What do they mean when they are written, and why are they all marked with an X?"

She sighed and didn't hide it: "I wrote it by hand when I was digging for starfish, so don't worry about it."

"Really?" Takigawa Hikaru looked again, "Excavating hobbies, why?"

"Because Starfish has been a little bored recently," she replied.It's not quite, but it's not false either.

"what……"

Hikaru Takikawa was silent for a while, and attributed the reason to himself.

"I haven't hung out with Haixing much recently."

"It's not about the light."

Morimi shook his head, "Haixing should find a hobby that doesn't require friends and can pass the time by himself... just like Naruse likes to read books, and Shangzi likes to sew puppets."

Hikaru Takikawa didn't speak, and continued to stare at the piece of paper in his hand.

"Of course, it's not that easy to find." Mori Jian continued.

"I can think of some hobbies for starfish." Hikaru Takikawa said, "For example, eating desserts, eating fried chicken nuggets, and eating skewers..."

"..."

Senjian couldn't laugh or cry, "You can't just keep eating when you're bored."

"There are other things." Hikaru Takikawa smiled, "Such as shopping, going to karaoke or something."

"Isn't that just for fun?"

"And makeup and stuff."

"You can't keep smearing on your face..."

Hikaru Takikawa listed many hobbies of starfish, but there is not much reference value.

"—Is it closed already?"

Naruse also came out from inside.

"You want to go out?" Sen Jian asked.

"No. Just a random question."

He looked at the books and notes the two had packed up, "Go in, I'll come out and take a rest."

"Thank you~"

Hikaru Takikawa patted him on the shoulder and went in first.

"tired?"

"Ah."

"starfish?"

"……Um."

"Is it because of learning, or something else."

Naruse was silent for a moment, "All of them."

Sen Jian didn't speak.

He sat at the counter and looked outside, "It turns out that this is the feeling of sitting inside..."

"If you like this feeling, you can come and help me look at the store tomorrow."

Naruse glanced at her, "Then what about yourself."

"Study, rest."

"Is there any pay?"

"You can read the books here as you like. Of course, you have to pay for opening new books."

Naruse smiled, but didn't comment.

Senjian didn't say much, and went in first.

He sat in her usual position, picked up the book on the side, flipped through a few pages, put it down again, and looked at the rows of bookshelves in the store.

Opening a bookstore seems to be a good idea.

Following this sudden thought for a while, he shook his head and went back inside again.

Morimi was sitting in front of him, explaining something to Shangzi.

He looked at it and could only sit next to Starfish.

She moved slightly to the side.

"Is there a problem?"

"Well, here." She pushed the notebook over.

Seeing something out of the corner of her eye, she raised her head, and Shangzi and Morimi were both looking at her.

"..."

She looked down again.

Naruse didn't pay attention, stared at the topic for a few moments, conceived the steps of the explanation in his mind, and decided to guide her step by step.

"Let's start with the problem first..."

Because I don't go to school tomorrow, the evening study will continue until after eleven o'clock at night-there will be several breaks in between.

When Hikaru Takikawa started to cry, and Starfish followed suit, the study session would naturally be unable to continue.

"Is there anything here? Let me prepare some supper." Shangzi got up and said.

"There are still some fish cakes, fish balls, and fried tofu in the refrigerator." Mori Jian also stood up and led her to the kitchen.

Shangzi opened the refrigerator and took a look, all the ingredients didn't add up to much, but it should be enough for supper.

"Let's cook together."

"Is it miscellaneous?"

She smiled, "It's more like oden cooking."

"Hmm... I remember the oden soup."

He dug out the oden soup ingredients in the cupboard and handed it to Shangzi. Mori saw that there was basically nothing to intervene in, so he could only watch from the sidelines throughout the process.

Even so, she didn't leave the kitchen.

"Does Naruse usually have supper too?"

"No, Chunhai and I usually don't go to bed too late."

When all the ingredients are cooked, the aroma has already wafted out of the kitchen.

"smell good……"

The shoulders sank, Morimi tilted his head slightly, Takikawa Hikari lay behind her, his chin resting on her shoulder, but his eyes were only looking at the cooking pot.

Shangzi turned her head and smiled like a hostess.

"It's ready, let's clear the table."

"Great--"

　Add update at noon
