Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 361 Starfish Diary
X, X, X, sunny.

Today I went to the park by the river and we played catch together.

Everyone loves to play catch, but no one likes to play baseball, which is weird.

Just say that I am more interested in football.

Chun Hai hit me when he threw the ball.

Sorry, but it must have been on purpose.

That sucks!
……

X month X day, week X, cloudy day.

I was reading manga at Ichiba's house today.

There are many comics in her house.

There are many books.

Yiye prefers to read books, although there are many words she doesn't know.

I think it's easier to read comics.

Chun Hai went out to play with Guang.

……

X, X, X, sunny.

Went to Apple Park today!

Experience picking apple blossoms.

The aunt in the park said that if you don't pick some flowers, the apples that grow will not taste good.

Because I am a primary school student, I was not allowed to use a ladder, so I only picked some flowers from the bottom.

Hit my head against a branch, it hurts!
Chunhai also bumped into it and shed tears, which is really embarrassing.

Shangzi followed Chunhai all the time, picked all the flowers and left none, and was told by the aunt in the park.

What a happy day!
……

On X, X, X, it rained.

There was a fight.

……

X month X day, week X, cloudy day.

Chun Hai went out to play with Guang.

I don't know where I went, and Shangzi doesn't know either.

Shangzi waited all afternoon and went home by himself.

……

X, X, X, sunny.

There was another fight.

My lip was bitten, it hurts so much.

bit his shoulder.

……

X month X day, week X, cloudy day.

Shangzi's mother bought her a mobile phone.

I also want a mobile phone.

Dad said he would buy it for me after middle school.

Chunhai didn't talk to me all day today, for no reason.

……

X, X, X, sunny.

There was a fight.

Scratched his face.

……

X, X, X, evening, very late.

When I went downstairs to use the bathroom, I heard Chun Hai's mother saying sorry to her father.

Dad also said sorry.

why?
Chun Hai told me not to bother him.

After he fell asleep, go to his bed and lie down for a while.

Almost fell asleep.

……

X month X day, week X, cloudy day.

Chunhai was in a daze again today, and was called by the teacher during class.

The teacher said that if Chunhai is serious, he will be the first in grade, and he is very smart.

I think so.

Shangzi felt the same way.

Yiye thinks so too.

Just don't believe it.

……

X month X day, week X, cloudy day.

When going home, Chunhai got off the car halfway.

He must have gone to the river.

Shangzi was talking to Yiye, but he didn't notice that he got out of the car, and cried when he found out.

Really love to cry, it's not like I won't come back.

……

On X, X, X, it rained.

There was a fight.

After returning to the room.

……

X month X day, week X, cloudy day.

Dad asked me today if it was really impossible to get along well with Chunhai.

I do not know what to say.

I do not know either.

Obviously he hated me first.

I didn't say anything, Dad seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say anything.

Why don't you ask Chun Hai?
……

X, X, X, sunny.

Got into a fight with Harumi in the school sports warehouse.

He said that the person he likes and hates the most is me.

me too.

……

On X, X, X, it rained.

Dad said he divorced Chun Hai's mother.

It must be a lie.

……

On X, X, X, it rained.

it is true.

……

X month X day, week X, cloudy day.

Chunhai and his mother will move back to the original house in a few days.

Dad went over to help clean up today.

I also went to help.

Seeing Chun Hai hiding in the study and crying.

Must be thinking of his dad.

I think of my mother and I want to cry too.

……

X month X day, week X, cloudy day.

Chunhai and his mother moved some things back today.

Are they really moving out?

We will not be family anymore.

So sad.

……

X month X day, week X, cloudy day.

During dinner at night, both Dad and Chun Hai's mother drank.

Chun Hai's mother kept saying thank you to her father.

Dad said sorry several times.

……

On X, X, X, it rained.

Chun Hai moved out.

He says……

Already knew.

……

Turning to this page of the diary, the paper was wrinkled badly, and the handwriting became blurred, as if it had been soaked in water.

And the record ends here, there is no more content behind.

"..."

Closing the diary, Naruse took a deep breath, still feeling that his chest was tightly congested.

The past is so vivid that everything in the diary seems to have happened yesterday.

The paper that was wrinkled by tears had lost its toughness, but it cut his hands a bit, like a sharp knife, digging out the memory he deliberately buried deeply.

Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, he seemed to be stunned, and Hai Xing, who was squatting in front of the cardboard box on the other side, asked, "Did you find your things?"

"Um... no, no."

Stuffing the diary back into the cardboard box, Naruse picked up another thing, glanced at it and handed it to Hai Xing.

"This... is yours, right?"

He turned his head, only to notice that what he just handed out was a Masked Superman mask.

It can only be his stuff.

He also remembered that it was the first year he moved into Haixing's house, when the family went to Tsumae Park to participate in the Cherry Blossom Festival, Seiichiro Maki bought it for him.

"its mine."

Hai Xing wiped the dust off the mask with his hands, then compared it to his own face, "Kamen Rider~"

"..."

"..."

She quickly put down the mask, blushing a little.

She thought he would laugh at herself, but saw him looking aside with his face away, frowning tightly.

"……Do you still want?"

Naruse took a deep breath, "Yes, Haixing wash it for me, it's too dirty."

"it is good."

Starfish got up, took the mask and went downstairs.

Boom!
"..."

On the stairs, she stopped in a daze, and looked back at the room where the sound came from.

What's the sound... is he angry?
After standing there for a while, she slowly went downstairs, took the mask and rinsed it.

The water quickly became clear, and the plastic mask looked like new after washing, but the rope at the back felt like it was about to rot.

She simply tore the rope.

After shaking off the water stains on the mask and wiping it again, Hai Xing went back upstairs and found that he took in the schoolbag he had been leaning on outside.

Without thinking too much, she handed the mask to him.

After holding it in his hand for a while, Naruse put the mask on his face.

"Masked Rider."

"..."

Should she laugh?

Looking at the mask on his face, Hai Xing suddenly noticed that his hand holding the mask was red and swollen, especially the joints.

Naruse quickly put down his mask again, ignoring her reaction.

"I'll get you a box to put it in..."

"No, as many things as there are, I'll just take them back."

"Ok."

The two of them tidied up in the room for an hour or two before cleaning up all the sundries. In the end, Naruse still asked for a cardboard box to store his own things.

They were basically toys and the like, and of course he didn't take them back for fun, but purely as souvenirs.

Putting his schoolbag on his back, he picked up the cardboard box, "I have to pick up Shangzi, so I'll go back first."

"Well...be careful on the road."

Going downstairs and chatting with Seiichiro Maki, Naruse returned home alone with the cardboard box in his arms.

Putting the cardboard box in the study and going back upstairs, holding the old diary he took out of his schoolbag, he stared blankly for a while.

What do you take it back for...

buzz-

Shangzi: It's about to end, Haruhi can come pick me up now.
