Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 423 Bonfire
When Morimi returned to the classroom, the teacher was standing on the podium, and the students in Class A below were sitting neatly. It was obvious that the evening class meeting was still going on.

"Why isn't it over yet?"

She blurted out, and Yanagisawa coughed and just asked her to go back to her seat first. Many students below turned their heads and looked at the corners of the classroom.

The person over there said the same thing when he first returned to the classroom...

Both top students did not give face to being teachers.

"As I said...forget it, that's it for today."

Yanagisawaoka was a little depressed, but he had finished explaining what he needed to explain, so he didn't delay any longer and announced that school was over.

"You came back at the right time," Naruse said.

Mori laughed, "If I hadn't come back, he could have talked for another five minutes."

"That's more than that."

She turned around and asked, "Is there any new topic?"

“His previous experience participating in regional events at the university.”

Tsudaka Matsuri has not been in class for the past three days, and the two of them have nothing to clean up, so they are waiting in the classroom for others to come over.

"Have you told them?" Naruse asked.

"Yeah." Mori nodded.

He glanced at her twice and suddenly asked: "You don't have any hidden agenda, do you?"

"Why do you ask."

"Because in the past, it was the light that proposed and organized this kind of thing."

Morimi smiled, "I can't even relax if I want to."

"Hopefully just relax."

When she was about to say something else, Naoko and Haixing came over.

"Is it really okay to have a bonfire or something in an old house like the Kazuye family?" Naoko looked a little worried.

"With Harumi and Hikari here, it will be no problem." Morimi said.

"Don't count on me."

"Then I'll call the police and report that you started the fire."

Naruse ignored him and waited for Takigawa Hikaru to come down from upstairs, and they all left the school together.

The motorcycle could only take two people back, so Morimi stayed temporarily and gave them the keys.

After returning to Aoyagi, he dropped off the starfish at the entrance of the supermarket. Hikaru Takigawa was about to go back to school to pick up Mori when his phone suddenly vibrated.

"Mom? Well, you read that right, I was the one riding the bike. Haixing? No, I'm at the supermarket. I'm going to Kazuye's house in the evening...eh?"

The three of them looked at her. After a while, she put down her phone and said, "I have to go back first. There's something going on at home."

"what happened?"

"A relative is coming from Morioka. I'll go back and entertain him for a while."

"How long will it take?"

"I don't know. Harumi, go pick up Kazuha. I'll be here later."

"Forget it if relatives come."

"No, I don't worry."

"what?"

"...I mean, what if you set the house on fire, haha!"

So Naoko and Haisei stayed to do shopping in the supermarket, Hikaru Takigawa went home first, and Naruse turned around to pick up Morimi.

As she rode her bicycle back to the cafe in front of the school, she seemed more surprised than happy to see him coming.

"What, just figured it out?"

Naruse frowned, "What are you talking about?"

"What about the light?"

"A relative is here."

"Eh……"

"I'll go to your house later."

Mori smiled inexplicably, "I knew it."

After taking the helmet, she looked at it twice, but didn't want to put it on.

"Do you have to wear a helmet?"

"Otherwise don't get in the car."

She put it on anyway.

Sitting behind him, she hugged his waist tightly.

Naruse couldn't say anything. This was a problem with his car. If she didn't hug him tightly, there was no other place to hold on to. She would be thrown off as soon as the accelerator was turned.

"The rainy season seems to be almost over."

"Ah."

"It's almost time."

"Well, sit down."

After looking behind him, Naruse turned the accelerator and the motorcycle sped out.

She wanted to talk to him about something other than the weather, but she didn't even encounter a red light along the way. Naturally, he wouldn't stop, and she didn't know whether her luck was good or bad.

Back in Qingliu, when passing by the bookstore, Mori went down to say hello, and when he came out, he had a bag in his hand.

"what?"

She held his shoulders and climbed into the car, then lay on his back. "Dad's friend gave us the Yamagata beef. Let's take it home to eat."

Naruse looked inside the bookstore. Morimi looked at him and his daughter lying behind him, and nodded to him.

"..."

He was inexplicably embarrassed, and nodded from afar, deciding to come over tomorrow to take care of business. "Sit tight."

She hugged him and said, "Yeah."

Arriving at Morimi's house, a Super Cub parked in the yard.

"The light is coming."

"Maybe the family matter has been resolved."

As if hearing their coming, Hikari Takigawa shouted.

"Spring Sea—"

"Ah."

When they came to the other side of the yard, the three people who came first had already set up their grills.

"It's really fast."

"I've been here several times, so I'm already familiar with it... What is Harumi holding in his hand?"

"Yamagata beef given to us by Mr. Morimi."

The two walked over. Except for making a fire, the three of them were almost busy with all the things they should be busy with.

Naruse looked left and right and came to the grill, "Then let's start grilling."

"It's better to build a bonfire first." Hikaru Takigawa said, "Otherwise, we'll be too busy later."

"Light her house on fire and you'll know what it means to be really busy."

"Come on," Morimi said, "I've already said hello to my parents."

All four people looked over.

She quickly realized her slip of the tongue.

"...I mean the bonfire."

"What can I burn?" The owners of the house nodded, and Naruse also changed quickly.

Morijian raised his hand and pointed, "There are piles of wood in the warehouse over there. It's very humid during this period. I don't know if it can be lit."

He was a little surprised and went over to take a look. There was a lot of firewood piled in the warehouse.

"This pile of wood has been sitting there for over a year."

Morimi followed, "There were some miscellaneous trees in the yard that blocked the view. They grew taller and taller. Dad simply cut them down and the wood was piled here."

This pile of wood was even logs. If the thicker sections were not split, it would probably be impossible to light a fire all night long. Naruse asked if there was an ax for splitting firewood.

"I am searching."

He found an ax in another utility room in the yard and Morimi gave it to him, "Master Harumi, can you chop wood? Don't get hurt."

He ignored her, took a piece of log outside, tried it twice, got a feel for it, and gradually became proficient.

"firewood!"

Takigawa Hikaru's eyes lit up and he came over.

"I want to play too~"

"Who's playing anymore...do you still have an axe?"

"I am searching."

Looking at the two people on the other side of the yard who were having a great time chopping wood, Haixing looked at the grill in front of him and the beef on the side.

"What are you doing here..."

Naoko turned around and smiled, "Are Haixing hungry?"

"A little."

"Then let's start the barbecue first. After Chunhai and the others set up the campfire, we can eat directly."

"Uh-huh!"

Shangzi knew how to light a fire, and it didn't take him long to ignite the charcoal, and the temperature of the grill rose sharply.

Looking back and seeing the movement on their side, Morimi also came over.

"There's absolutely no way to get involved over there."

"The ax is raised so high, it looks quite scary..."

Click!

After splitting a log, Naruse gasped and stood up straight with the ax, suddenly feeling pain in his waist and back.

"Hiss... no need to chop, it's almost done."

The two of them spent a long time splitting a pile of firewood, and the three people on the other side had already started eating.

Takigawa Hikaru held his waist and grinned, "Is that enough?"

"It's not a problem to build a fire, but it's hard to control if it's too big."

"That's right."

She picked firewood and piled it in the middle of the yard, while Naruse went to bring a bucket of water over and asked Morimi if there was a water pipe.

"...You are too careful."

"Safety first."

After preparing fire-extinguishing measures, it took some effort to ignite the fire, and the flames slowly started to burn.

The two washed their hands and faces, sat down on the edge, and took the beef that the other three had roasted for them.

"Hmm~ Such tender beef."

"As expected of Yamagata beef."

It was still dark, and looking at the rising flames in the middle of the yard, Hikari Takigawa raised the juice in his hand.

"Cheers~"

"Cheers." Morimi raised his glass and clinked it with her, "Friendship lasts forever."
