Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 267 Come on
In the afternoon, the five of them made a big circle by the river, walking from one bridge to another, and then back again.

Naruse walked faster, returned to the place where the motorcycle was parked, rode over again, and sent several people back in turn.

It took more than ten minutes to go back and forth, and Hikaru Takikawa took the initiative to stay at the end.

After Naruse finished delivering Shangzi and Haixing, and then sent Morimi home, when she went back to find her, she had already been waiting on the bridge for a long time.

"Awaited."

Hikaru Takikawa leaned on the guardrail and shook his head at him, "I'm not in a hurry."

"Let's go back."

"I don't want to go home so early."

"What is the light for?"

"do not know."

Naruse was a little helpless.

"You seem to be bored recently."

She smiled.

"It's almost boring."

She pointed to the bridge again, "You can ride up from there."

"It's a sidewalk. Who's to blame if you get caught?"

"It's mine."

Naruse twisted the gas pedal, circled to the end of the bridge, rode on the sidewalk, and then stopped firmly beside her.

"Chunhai is really getting more and more proficient. Go to the exam now, maybe you will pass it in one go."

"I hope there will be no accidents then." Naruse said.When inquiring before, he heard her talk about many cases of failing the exam due to accidents.

"Just be careful."

After parking the car, he also stood by the guardrail, looking at the river below.

"Now I begin to understand why Chunhai liked to stay by the river before."

Hikaru Takikawa leaned on the guardrail again, "Even if you don't do anything, you can still stare at the river for a whole day."

"That was before, I don't have such leisure now." Naruse said.

She looked over: "Because you dated Shangzi?"

"This is on the one hand. On the other hand, it's because there are so many ways to pass the time."

And what he has to think about now is not just why he came to this world at that time.

"That's right, Chun Hai is someone who can get pleasure from books. I can't."

Hikaru Takikawa turned around, leaned against the guardrail, and looked at the sunset in the sky.

"I still like the feeling of being with everyone, even if I don't do anything."

"Would it make you feel more at ease if we all do nothing and waste time together?"

"..."

She looked over, her eyes widened again: "Maybe it's because of this."

"There's no telling."

"I can't be sure."

He couldn't continue talking about this topic, so Naruse stretched his arms and went back to the motorcycle.

"Go back—you don't have to go home if you don't want to, just take me home first."

"Hey, stay with me for a while."

"tired."

She sighed and walked over, "Shall I drive?"

"Ah."

Hikaru Takikawa sat in the front, and Naruse got into the car after him, and then he heard her snort.

"what happened?"

"It's out of gas."

"..."

Naruse took a look with his probe, and the fuel gauge had indeed bottomed out.

"Too many trips today."

"Actually, it's not too far away, and there's not much oil left before the main thing."

"Enough to get to the gas station?" he asked.

"Enough." Takigawa Hikaru nodded affirmatively, "Go and refuel."

"Then you take me home first." Naruse said.There are no gas stations in the countryside, and you have to go to the city to refuel.

She turned her head: "Obviously all these oils are used by Chunhai..."

"……Fine."

Naruse pursed his lower lip, put on his helmet, "Go back quickly."

Hikaru Takikawa smiled slightly and turned the accelerator.

Getting off the sidewalk, she drove him along the riverside road to the city.

buzz-

Shangzi: Be careful on the road.

Naruse: Yes.

Putting away the phone, Naruse looked forward again.

The locomotive was speeding, and the oncoming wind blew on his face, bringing a cool feeling.

"When Haruhi also bought a motorcycle, let's go to a farther place together." Takikawa Hikari said with a slight tilt of his head.

He leaned forward, "Where are you going?"

"Hmm... I don't know!"

"Let's talk about it then."

She raised her voice in the wind: "When the time comes—"

After riding along the river for a while, a bridge appeared ahead, and Hikari Takikawa slowed down.

"It's Qianqiao. Does Chunhai remember this place?"

"of course."

Naruse looked at the river next to him, "There is a dam here, I remember it very clearly."

"There's a sandbar under the bridge."

"Ah."

"Go down and walk around later?"

"never mind."

"It's so boring."

"I'm tired."

At the intersection, Hikaru Takikawa turned onto the road leading to the city.

"Let's go around the city, the cherry blossoms in Tsumae Castle seem to be in bloom."

"Come on first."

"Well, let's go after refueling."

"Just look at it in the car."

"Ok."

While talking, the two had arrived at the gas station.

After parking the car and turning off the engine, Naruse naturally got out of the car, and stood aside watching how Hikari Takikawa refueled himself.

"Choose the payment method here first, cash, credit card, or the fuel card of this gas station..."

She said while operating on the screen of the fuel dispenser, "Then select the gasoline label... touch here again, and you are ready to refuel."

Naruse glanced at the place she was stroking, and the text on it showed that static electricity can be eliminated by stroking to avoid accidents when refueling.

Eliminating the static electricity, she picked up the grease gun and inserted it into the opened fuel port under the seat.

"It can run about [-] kilometers once it is filled up once." Takikawa Hikaru said.

"Really." Naruse looked at the fuel tank, estimating its capacity in his heart.

"It's been days since the last time I refueled."

Gasoline gurgles into the tank and fills up quickly.

After closing the fuel tank and putting back the change in the machine, Hikaru Takikawa got on the motorcycle, and Naruse followed suit.

Leaving the gas station and back on the road, she picked up her speed a little.

"Let's go to Jinqian City and have a look."

"Well. Go home after reading."

"Chun Hai is such a disappointment."

"I'm tired……"

"I can't see it at all."

"spiritual."

At the intersection of red lights, Hikaru Takikawa stopped and looked back at him.

"what happened?"

She shook her head and turned around again.

"Chunhai seems to have changed a lot recently."

"Well, it's changed from a first-year to a second-year."

"Haha, then me too."

She smiled, only to hold back quickly.

"not like this."

Naruse didn't answer, she continued talking by herself.

"There's a sense of being sneaky about something big."

"What are you talking about?"

"Ah." She turned her head again, "Does it feel wrong?"

"I'm just going about my day as usual."

"But it seems a little tense, especially this afternoon."

"..."

Naruse pursed his lower lip, "The light is green."

"OK~"

Hikaru Takikawa turned around and continued walking.

All the way to Jinqian City, she drove him slowly along the road around the park.

The banks of the moat are full of cherry blossoms, which are sparsely blooming at this time, tender and fresh.

"After a while, they should all be open. Ah, the Cherry Blossom Festival is coming too."

"Ah."

"It's time to go shopping together."

"Sakura Festival? There were too many people at that time."

"Do you want to come early then?"

"Isn't it the privilege of our locals to enjoy it before the festival comes?"

"Haha, that's really good."

After making a big circle around Tsumae Castle, Takikawa Hikaru didn't go anywhere else, and took Naruse back to ride.

When passing by a dessert shop, he asked her to stop for a while.

"A copy of this...and this, packed."

"Ok."

Naruse looked back at Hikari Takikawa, "I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat."

"You're very welcome." She came over to have a look, and quickly settled on a small cake, "That's it."

"Packed?" the clerk asked.

Naruse nodded.

"By the way, have a cup of coffee here?" Takikawa Hikaru said, "I treat you."

He shook his head, "Shangzi is still waiting at home."

"Ok."

Hikaru Takikawa looked at the mille-feuille cake that the clerk was packing, and there was no doubt that it was for Naoko.

"Chun Hai is really different from before..."

"What?" He turned around.

Hikaru Takikawa smiled and shook his head again.

The desserts for the two were packed quickly, and they were packed in two paper bags, and Naruse carried them.

Getting back on the motorcycle, Hikaru Takikawa rode straight back, and it didn't take long to send him to the door of his house.

Naruse got out of the car and hung one of the paper bags on the hook in front of her motorcycle, "It's getting dark soon, so don't wander around outside."

"Chunhai talks a lot, just like the old man."

He raised his eyebrows, and she laughed again, "I know."

"That's all for today, bye."

"Goodbye~"

Watching him return to the door, Shangzi came to open the door, took the dessert from him, and then showed a sweet smile that she rarely saw, Takikawa Hikaru pulled down the mask, twisted the accelerator, and walked away amidst the roar of the engine.
